Thread for discussing the contents of the lovely Holland & Barrett 2020 advent calendar.

Please - no spoilers! Can we agree not to give away what's behind each door before that day?

See you all on 1st December!

@MyHomeHasPeculiarChildren

Collected mine today. It's definitely a good size! Really glad I got one this year - I got one 2 years ago half price then missed out last year when everyone cottoned on to how good it was Grin
Same with me. I was gutted I missed out last year. I’ve got this year’s one and really looking forward to it. I purchased some of the items in the calendar from 2 years ago. I love the Dead Sea Magik(?) BB cream. So excited.

My door number 21 was empty too.

Luvacuppatea · 04/10/2020 17:39

Mine is empty too!

tonsattingforbjudes · 04/10/2020 19:40

Others have found that 21 has slid over to 11! Hopefully that will be the case for all...

CountryCob · 04/10/2020 19:44

Hello everyone looking forward to comparing notes

GreatSoprendo · 07/10/2020 21:59

Just ordered mine to collect on Friday Smile I've never had anything more than a basic choc calendar before, and am v excited! Look forward to comparing notes each day!!

ColleagueFromMars · 09/10/2020 23:19

Mine arrived.

Holy crap it is big!

I bought Rituals advent calendars for my Mum and me, and DD was envious so I bought her a H&B one with the agreement that we could swap things between us (I know that she wants the candles from the Rituals calendar for instance).

ritzbiscuits · 11/10/2020 19:45

Just ordered one this afternoon, so excited to be joining in!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/10/2020 15:07

No Spoilers*

I bought this to use the products in my DD Advent Calendar
I buy things ( travel size, BYGOF) type
Never tried the H&B before

DD uses Cruelty Free so I dutifully checked everything on the list

So- there are a few good sizes
A few things that DD won't use , more suited to my skin than hers .
And she doesn't like coconut so I've filtered out anything that is too coconutty for her .

It's not make-up based but if you've ever wandered round H&B Beauty aisles you'll know that .

I'm really impressed -
And tear them open carefully , there's a few money off next orders on the back of the doors , though most are just descriptions of the products .

Enjoy Xmas Grin

lookdeepintotheparka · 28/11/2020 09:16

Getting excited now Grin

SOboredofcleaning · 28/11/2020 09:54

Can someone post a link to this AC please?

SOboredofcleaning · 28/11/2020 09:56

Oh gutted it's sold out 😕

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 30/11/2020 07:53

Looking forward to tomorrow!

WandaDavy · 30/11/2020 10:45

I'm just clearing some space on my dresser for the incoming treats! I hadn't actually intended to wait until Dec, but time got away with me! So now I will open daily :)

PrincessWatermelon · 30/11/2020 20:28

Excellent! I've found you.

H&B calendar set up on the sideboard ready for opening tomorrow 😁

MirandaWest · 30/11/2020 22:10

Mines ready for tomorrow 😊

Jumbojem · 30/11/2020 22:35

I've got one, never had a beauty advent calendar before. I almost forgot I had it as it's become part of the furniture in my bedroom for the last 2 months. Can't wait!

Same here!

My first one too . I didn’t read the contents list before buying it and it is still in the outer cardboard box 📦, so it will be a total surprise:)
I bought it on the strength of last year’s amazing reviews.

SunshineCake · 01/12/2020 07:51

Morning

Anyone else get a day item with a night item blurb on the card?

TheLongRider · 01/12/2020 07:52

Yes, it's weird.

mumonthehill · 01/12/2020 07:55

Me too! But I do like it and slapped it on!

WandaDavy · 01/12/2020 07:57

I clearly didn't read the description too well as I didn't notice! I love this brand anyway and use it daily, but haven't tried this range before. Happy with day 1! Good size too!
