    Not many of those make it worth the price of the box, very poor. I expected a good box for Xmas

    the Teeez for reference is a lovely nail vanish. I have tried some of their products from other boxes and am impressed. Like a European benefit in some ways!

    Agree a lot of the products are a little on the sample size!

    New to this money saving lark. Any tips greatly received.

  • Just ordered myself a Tesco beauty advent calendar. They're down to half price....£25! Looked at the contents (of course :p ) and you get some really fab items in it. Been after one of those stylefiles for a bit now, and pretty sure I'll use nearly everything else in there.

    Chuffed that I only paid half price, as I love a bargain! Holding out is a bit of a risk I guess if there's a calendar you really want, but I'd decided I wasn't overly fussed and would only get one if they dropped in price.
  • In spoiler mode of course, can you list what's in the Tesco advent calendar?

    You can't go wrong with a £4 advent calendar! You are a money saving expert! :p
    £25 is a good price but I already have a lot of the samples in this calendar (yes I buy too many boxes...guilty!). I would be very annoyed if I had spent £50 for the calendar only to find out that I could have bought it half price at the end of November... companies should be a bit more careful. It would have been different if the offer was at the end of December when the advent calendar time is over...
  • Agreed about the reduction in price if bought at full price. However must admit am looking forward to it and saves a few inches on the waistline!
