Beauty Advent Calendars 2018: Discount Codes And Updates

Beauty Advent Calendars 2018: Discount Codes And Updates

SpaceNK Cosmetopia Digest   Sunday, October 07, 2018

Very quickly, an update for you about all the beauty advent calendars of 2018, including discount codes.
I've already done a post here about more than 40 different beauty advent calendars available this year, and that post includes all the spoilers.
Here, I'm not going to be giving you spoilers. Instead, you'll find discount codes, along with what is already available now. I'm updating everything in the 40+ calendars post as well, but not everyone goes back to check, so this is all the latest information for you.
At one point, I was very unenthused by some of the advent calendars of this year, but that's gone now, and I'm very excited, particularly by some of these. Also, the discount codes make them all the more attractive - I bought Feelunique's advent calendar at some £39 OFF (including a bunch of Guerlain and Inkey List, but I only paid £119 for the whole lot).
I'm not counting the ones that are sold out already - Fortnum and Mason has come and gone, as did Harrods, but the latter has been brought back owing to major demand.

Feelunique Little Beauty Parcel 24-Day Advent Calendar 2018: Ships WW

Feelunique Little Beauty Parcel 24-Day Advent Calendar 2018: Ships WW

Holiday 2018 Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, September 21, 2018

The Feelunique Beauty Advent Calendar for 2018 is different from the last three years' offerings - first of all, this one contains 24 beauty products. Previous editions were 12-day calendars, with only 12 products. Also, this year's calendar costs £75, while previous years' calendars were priced at £35.
As usual, the calendar ships worldwide. Shipping is free to most locations. The calendar is themed the "Little Beauty Parcel" - it certainly looks the part; very whimsical, and the theme is unique and not generically Christmassy the way other advent calendars are.
My unboxing of the 2017 Feelunique beauty advent calendar is here. You can see my 2016 review here. And, the first box - 2015 - is reviewed here.
For those who think 24 products are a bit much, Feelunique also have a 12-day Advent Calendar here. 
Other "Beauty Parcel" themed goodies include a Vegan Edit beauty box, a Unique Boutique Luxe Edit beauty box, a Skincare Edit, and a Hair Edit. All of these ship worldwide as well. Before the contents, a quick word on the beauty advent calendars available so far:

ALL 40+ Best Beauty Advent Calendars 2018 SPOILERS, Contents + CODES!

ALL 40+ Best Beauty Advent Calendars 2018 SPOILERS, Contents + CODES!

Selfridges Cosmetopia Digest   Sunday, August 26, 2018

You know I'm all excited when Advent Calendar season is here, and all those gorgeous boxes, choc-a-bloc with goodies, start showing up.
This year, I am a bit early with my Advent Calendar posts. First, here is a list of more than 40 beauty advent calendars coming up for Holiday 2018, including release dates, prices, net worth, and spoilers. Then, I will be posting full contents and sale announcements as and when each of these goes live. Finally, I will be posting unboxings once I get my greedy paws on the advent calendars.
Make sure you BOOKMARK this page to stay updated when each calendar goes on sale!
For some of these, I already have spoilers, but I have spoiler warnings in my video, as you will see in a bit, so you won't have to know anything you don't want to scroll down (at the same time you can get to know about all the calendars), and the surprise element will still be there for you, if you so wish.
Before all of that, a quick detour for those who are new to all this - what under the canopy am I talking about?
An Advent Calendar (a calendar that has a countdown during Advent, right up to Christmas, often with a Nativity scene, a poem, or a little surprise, behind each date).
A Beauty Advent Calendar, obviously, is a curation of beauty products arranged behind closed windows, doors, or boxes, in a "calendar" format, as a countdown to Christmas Day.
Here, I'm showing you more than 40 of the best beauty advent calendars to look forward to for Christmas 2018. There are spoilers for some of the beauty advent calendars mentioned here - I have warnings for those!
Before we get going, one more thing - the vast majority of these do ship worldwide. There COULD be some exceptions depending on the brands included, and if there are perfumes or nail polishes or other HAZMAT inside. I will specify if I know about this for sure. Again, individual country exceptions could apply even if I'm told that they ship worldwide.

Best Beauty Advent Calendars For 2017: Holiday Gift Guide

Best Beauty Advent Calendars For 2017: Holiday Gift Guide

Selfridges Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, October 06, 2017

This year, there are so many new names jumping on the Beauty Advent Calendar bandwagon, right from luxury store Harrods, to drugstore favourite Soap & Glory. Which hopefully means that the brands which previously had Beauty Advent Calendars would have to up the ante and make their calendars better than ever before, right?
LookFantastic has certainly done that this year, as also FeelUnique and ASOS. This ensures that you are coming back for next year's box!
Given that there are now more than 50 different Beauty Advent Calendars out there, I was hard-pressed to narrow it down to 15. So this - calendars which have improved with each year - became a criterion, and I've also included some of the new names, based on the contents.

Holiday 2016 Gift Guide: Best 10 Beauty Advent Calendars That Ship Worldwide

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, November 03, 2016

When I was growing up, my Dad and Gramps, both of whom worked in shipping, used to bring home chocolate Advent Calendars, with enough sweets to last until March. As an adult, I am addicted to Beauty Advent Calendars. See the best selections from last year here.
Beauty Advent Calendars seem to be more of a UK-centric thing, though brands in the US and elsewhere are fast catching on. So much so that the LookFantastic Beauty Secret Vol 2 Advent Calendar for 2016 has sold out while on pre-order - a good 24 hours before the release date. See the spoilers here. The 2017 Advent Calendar is available here.
With 12-25 beauty products that you can open each day of the Advent (or for the 12 Days of Christmas), what is not to love? Think of it as a best-of-the-year surprise beauty box. I've been showing you individual calendars over the last couple of weeks; here is the round up of the best ones currently available - they all ship worldwide.

Autumn Makeup Look With Bourjois Cosmetics

Autumn Makeup Look With Bourjois Cosmetics

Makeup Cosmetopia Digest   Monday, September 12, 2016

Bourjois has always been my favourite drugstore makeup brand. The quality of their foundations, eyeliners, blushes, bronzers, lipsticks and mascaras is as good as department store brands. The only thing I don't love about Bourjois is their eyeshadows - the pigmentation isn't awesome, and they don't have the kind of large palettes I prefer anyway.
Feelunique has 3-for-2 on Bourjois right now, and they ship worldwide, so I've just been Bourjois-hauling!
With all the Bourjois love going on, I decided to do a Fall makeup look with six Bourjois makeup products - and other brands as well. Warning: This isn't my usual look; I'm wearing dark lipstick!

Fleur de Force Eyeshadow Quad in Cosmic Bronze Review, Swatches

Swatches Cosmetopia Digest   Saturday, January 30, 2016

My infection is down by about 25 per cent, and I have antibiotics for three more weeks. It has been about a month now. My skin is beyond flaky - no surprises there. I have been playing with some lip and eye makeup, since foundation - and anything I cannot remove with plain water - is out of the question.
Feelunique's 2015 Advent Calendar, reviewed here, included a very exciting beauty product - a Fleur De Force Eyeshadow Quad. Fleur launched these quads in two shades - Cosmic Bronze and Lunar Rose. I received the former.

Feelunique's Advent Calendar for 2015 was among the more affordable offerings this year, at just ‎£30 for 12 products, some of which are full-sized. They released the full list of contents on the website but I was - for once, and cross my heart - a good girl and did not look, so the products inside were a complete surprise for me when I unboxed this calendar. This is meant to be opened from December 12 till Christmas Eve, but who has that kind of patience?

Feelunique Holiday 2014 Beauty Bag review, beauty box deals

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, November 26, 2014

One of my favourite online retailers, Feelunique.com is a UK-based website that sells mostly UK- and Europe-based brands, but also other brands from across the world, and they ship worldwide for free if your order is above £10. Best of all, they often have 3-for-2 offers, like in Boots or Superdrug. Their GWPs and special offers are amazing.
Recently, they released an exclusive Beauty Bag as a Holiday offer, packed with 14 deluxe-sized high-end skincare, hair care and makeup products, hand-picked by their beauty director, Newby Hands. They promised that there would be no sachets. The first lot of bags went out complimentary with purchase of products for £100. I picked up half a dozen Rimmel Provocalips lip colours, reviewed here, and a couple of gift sets to use as stocking stuffers, to qualify for the bag. Was it worth it?
