*Now with spoilers* Beauty Advent Calendars: 2019 Edit.

[Disco]

I'm excited to see everyone's this year.

[Ella77]

Ooh! Please tell us what you get each day. It looks nice.

[Pippedydeadeye]

This is where having looked at them all in early September and forgotten since helps. I read the back this evening too but have retained nothing bar thinking I’ll like most of it. So I’m excited to find out too!

[Ella77]

I haven't looked at any of them, as I didn't know which one might be in the offing. Anyway, this year's is a Cult Beauty one . Apparently he had to go onto a waiting list for it, then had to buy it online during a meeting at work as it sold out in minutes. Very kind*.

* or he's not that into his job, whatever.

[Pippedydeadeye]

Fantastic! But how do you know today and not tomorrow?

[Ella77]

Because we always exchange them on 30th November .

[Edith Bacon]

Some excellent looking calendars here! I can’t wait to see what’s in them all

[ParisGal]

My M&S one arrived a while ago. Mum has put some mystery items in the days that had highly dangerous explosive products originally

[Pippedydeadeye]

Oh that’s so sweet PG!

I always assumed yours was a birthday thing Ella, sorry.

[Edith Bacon]

I thought the same, Pip.

[Ella77]

It kind of is, but I get him one too and he gets too excited to wait until my special day .

PG, that’s so nice.

[Annabella]

Pip that JL one looks amazing. I like your stripes chair too

[Mountain Goat]

I am excited to see what everyone gets. I didn't get a beauty one in the end because I have more stuff than I can use as it is, but I'll still yearn for everyone's every day. (I got a Chase Distillery 12 day one, with things like Seville orange gin and smoked vodka; I liked the sound of everything which is in diametric opposition to most booze ones I saw, and then because that's only 12 days, I also really pushed the boat out and got a John Lewis tea calendar for £20. I'm genuinely excited about my daily teabags though. )

[Ella77]

I do love the sound of a tea one.

[Edith Bacon]

I’m interested in the tea one too.

I got MIL a Pukka tea one last year and she still hasn’t tried them all - too indulgent to have one every day of advent, apparently

[Mountain Goat]

The martyr is strong in that one.

I really wanted the Diptyque one but I couldn't square the cost with myself, however hard I tried (and I did), and then I got a set of mini Jo Malone perfumes for my birthday so couldn't justify it on the grounds of needing perfume either. So I've just bought myself ALL the Christmas-sy candles I can to offset the hole in my life.

ETA: NB NOT Yankee Candle Berry Trifle.

I’m interested in the tea one too.

to be fair, it's exactly what all the lottery winners do.

Fuck’s sake.

[Rosa]

Drink the tea, Edith's MIL! I'm looking forward to seeing the contents of all the beauty calendars!
