Have you come across brands marketing products you can’t buy. I know it sounds weird but it’s happened a few times to me.

There has been some questions around the Flannels advent calendar, probably because they are incredible if you can get your hands on one.

I have been into store a few times already and no one could tell me anything about whether or not it was coming, offering me the £185 Christmas cracker as an alternative.

There are 17 products in the cracker estimated to be worth around £800 the only issue for me the list of products, when you break it down there’s no where near the value for me, most tester sizes not full size and colours and scents in ranges not necessarily first choice, like the lipsticks are not nudes or popular colours.

In 2021 the advent calander came out and then there were problems with procurement of all the goodies in there. Everyone got there money back eventually.

In 2022 they were unbelievable. The 2022 advent calendar had a serious line up of luxury brands. I got one. It featured 25 products and wait for it 18 full size items. There are a range of brands including Augustinus Bader, Charlotte Tilbury, Aqua Di Parma, NARS so many things I loved!

It even included two esoteric molecules perfumes I think 30 ml in total which I really wanted to try (tested in Harvey Nichols) and would usually be out of my price range.

The date for this year’s advent calendar or what’s expected to be in there has not yet been released.

I am checking online currently everyday to see if they actually come out this year.

It could be one of those things that comes and is sold out immediately and don’t be disappointed if doesn’t come at all.

That said if it they do come out and they are as fabulous as 2022, bargain busting beauty girls we are in for a treat.
