So I ordered one with the 20% off and it arrived last week. I’m soooo tempted to start opening everything, but I’m gonna try to wait till December.

FYI: For those that are interested in the box (because I know there are plenty of you out there 😉 ), I’d recommend using Lookfantastic’s UK site when you’re ready to get it because they have it slightly cheaper at 79GBP or approx. $101, so at least there’s already a bit of a “discount” built into the box (vs. the US price) that can be stacked with future discount codes.
Right now if you sub to LF (any length subscription), you can get 20% off the calendar; use code ADVENTBB . This basically just makes the September box free, but I still thought I’d mention. 🙂

I order from the UK site.

Seems like a downgrade from last year… even just the box design. Especially when there are so many choices in Advent calendars.
PS I love that we’re seeing them a lot earlier this year (or at least it seems earlier).

I loved the box last test (and still use it since it’s so gorgeous) – this one is very weak comparatively. It’s noting looking and the products don’t look as luxe. Even at 50% I think is pass.

Auto-correct makes me sound like an insane person. LOL.
I was attempting to say that I loved the box from last year and looking at the products from this year they don’t look as nice.
None of these items really seen new or upcoming, they’re products that have been out for some time (some of them years). Easy pass on saving my money this year.

Liz, and all else interested, have you read that Liberty will make their advent calendars available to those of us in the U.S.? I’m saving my pennies for that one!

I second what Svetlana said. ALL these items have been in past LF monthly boxes.. Also, the toothpaste doesn’t even contain Flouride, which is almost impossible to reconcile with tooth health.
I’m not getting this and I am thinking ” No advent calendars at all this year” because they are simply sample sized products and I get those anyway. Look Fantastic helped put the teeny sample purchases into perspective very well.

Just wait. There should be beauty expert advent to come out. I am waiting for that one. Also, last year skin store had awesome calendar.

As soon as I saw horse shampoo and conditioner plus toothpaste it was bit NO for me. This calendar looks like filled up with leftovers from their monthly boxes.
On other forums a lot of people disappointed and said NO too. I predict that this calendar will be heavily discounted in a month or so.

I noticed the same with last year’s advent calendar, that it was full of items we had already gotten in the sub boxes. Seems to be their trend.

Yeah, we’ve been getting much better boxes from Beauty Report for $30, and I mean *much*.
If they reduce this to $40-50, maybe I’ll buy, a few of the items look interesting.
And btw, what’s with the dark green lipstick, what’s that supposed to be?..

the Lipstick Queen lipstick reacts with your ph and is slightly different on everyone. the frog prince (which is the green lipstick) turns a coral-ish color when applied. hope that helps

If it is and I mean deep discount I’ll buy 😏 but if not I’ll pass, it’s nothing I haven’t already had before
