I got a 20% we miss you discount email from Space NK but mine doesn't work with the calendar. Luckily I don't want it anyway even with the discount.

MrsDahliaTravers · 07/10/2026 11:31

@Beautyfox Oh no! I don't even remember getting this code, but when I went onto the app it applied when I added the advent calendar to my basket. I must have tried it out before and decided not to buy anything! 🀣

Beautyfox · 07/10/2026 11:32

MrsDahliaTravers · 07/10/2026 11:29

I have £10 in rewards to use too, so would bring it down to £210 🫣

I have Β£20 vouchers if I could get the 15% off to work I would def go for it. Although I do think this is a sign of just how poorly they are selling so there could be some bargains come Black Friday.

I think SNK have deteriorated since the Ulta deal, maybe before that. I know they’ve opened loads of new shops and trying to line up with more of an influencer type vibe. I just miss the grown up store it used to be, I absolutely hate their new review harvesting, what’s the point of having reviews of people that have been gifted things, most will give a good review to enable future freebies.
Ignore my moaning…just miffed at how disappointing their BACS are this year 😬

Edited

I agree. And sorry to be dramatic but I feel really let down by both SNK and Liberty's poor offerings this year!
SNK can partially redeem themselves with a good fragrance advent, there's still time :)
Liberty, well they can cheer me up a little with an October scent edit that must be due soon.

I'm genuinely upset that I have not been able to spend more money* on advents. I wish I'd paid a little more attention and not been so lazy about BT as that one does look great though.

*that should probably be spent elsewhere or saved!

Peridot1 · 07/10/2026 11:41

I have bitten the bullet and ordered The White Company. Decided to go for it with the 15% off Β£60 spend rather than wait and risk it going out of stock.

Would love a beauty one but can’t justify it as really really want to reduce my stash.

Doglover73 · 07/10/2026 11:44

@Peridot1 can you remind me of the code please. Im tempted x

SummerLimes · 07/10/2026 11:49

Beautyfox · 07/10/2026 11:28

They obviously don’t miss me as much because they only sent me 15%. πŸ˜‚. It looks like the code is defective because even if I just put a single item in the basket like a foundation it still doesn’t work. I’ve emailed CS who will
probably get back to me in 3 weeks

I haven’t had any codes and I purchased the BAC last year. I’d possibly get with 20% off (despite all the CB edits I purchased).

I think you should keep an eye on your inbox because they are sending things out rather than publicly advertising a reduction. However, I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve not ordered from them in about a month (I’ve been soo good). The last time I purchased was when the gwp was you could choose hair or scent which I think was early September.

Definitely think the star of the show has been BT this year. I’ve bought HBAC, HFAC and HHFAC. Oh, and JLFAC…although I’m not entirely sure I’m keeping this or gifting.
I had 8 advents last year! I just can’t seem to get that excited this season, it’s starting to feel like a beauty jumble sale, although may change my mind with some huge discounts πŸ˜€
I have bought some separate items having just ordered the ND gloom palette and some LE skin tint. Plus a Fenty holiday lip gloss.

On the Liberty note, its like the Wizard of Oz, once you see behind the curtain it destroys the illusion.

I did 2 orders with the last 20% off - can’t remember when that was !!

It’s 15off60.

JoRaRaRa · 07/10/2026 12:21

Feeling sick with nerves over my BT calendar which is still at parcel flow 🫩 today is the last day to pick up my c&c order too, and the SFAC going on sale tomorrow. Is it normal to feel so anxious over advent calendars πŸ™ˆπŸ˜­ I might have to take a break next year (yeah, right?!).'

Peridot1 · 07/10/2026 12:26

I’d be sick with nerves too @JoRaRaRa. Really hope it’s on the move to you soon.

Puravida23 · 07/10/2026 12:30

@JoRaRaRa I think you just have to hold your nerve I am sure Parcel flow will work out and this time next week you will be clutching your FDB Sirene and planning nexts years purchases. But I can imagine it is quite stressful especially as it is so much money

Contact BT and ask them to hold you c&c a bit longer.

Yours has to arrive after all the research you did into getting it.

Advententhusiast · 07/10/2026 12:44

OvaHere · 07/10/2026 10:44

Can you ask them about store availability? I'm going to Selfridges on Friday. Obviously hoping to get one online but if I don't I'm hoping they might have some in store (this is very wishful thinking). πŸ˜„

They will be sold at the store but staff dont really know anything and the beauty congierge was pretty useless as well. Some didnt even know it drops tomorrow

The Selfridges advent was stil available. There were only 2 out. Lifted one up. Way too heavy. Not buying it. Cant be bothered as I only want a third of it. Not worth all the effort. But it did look really nice in real life

SoloCat · 07/10/2026 12:44

it will arrive @JoRaRaRa its just having an Irish tiny tour of the sites, before landing into your loving arms. πŸ₯°

Good luck to anyone who’s after the SFAC tomorrow πŸ€

I'm getting the fatigue this year too. I've had my fill of BACs, still up for a good FAC though (selfridges looking at you).

I think I'll then hold off til BF when hopefully there will be some decent discounts on the perfume sets. Selfridges did some great deals last year

LimpingPigeon · 07/10/2026 13:01

I am desperate to get my hands on the Selfridges FAC. I missed out on Harrods because it went on sale when I was at an activity centre in the middle of nowhere with no signal at all.

I've been told today that I need to go to a different office for a meeting tomorrow. This means a dodgy phone signal for 1 hr 15 mins on the train, and it will be touch and go as to whether I can get into the office and logged in by 8am. I then have meetings for most of the day. DH can't be trusted to do it for me. I'm praying for it to go on sale at 6am, it might be my only chance! Unless I feign illness.

Do you have Covid by any chance, or even the new plague from Russia? 😁

JoRaRaRa · 07/10/2026 13:11

@BeanNaGealai I asked them to, they said they'd try but couldn't guarantee as it depends on store storage etc.

@Puravida23 I really hope I have the Sirene by the weekend. He's said it'll defo be sent today so 🀞🏻all pray for the RaRa 🀣

@LimpingPigeon you defo need to be ill tomorrow, you can't miss out again πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ no 1 priority = SFAC πŸ€ͺ

I'll start a bit of feeble coughing and sighing now and perhaps ask if anyone has a paracetamol.

Growlybear83 · 07/10/2026 13:20

If there isn’t a limit of one FAC per person and IF Im able to get onto the Selfridges app when the calendars go on sale, Im happy to buy a second one to pass onto anyone who misses out if they want to pay the postage to forward it on.

traybro · 07/10/2026 13:32

Re the SFAC. The Concierge Consultant at 40 Duke advised me to purchase online at 9am.

user593 · 07/10/2026 13:57

I hope it is 9am. That would work perfectly for me as I’d just be home after drop off!
