Beauty advent calendars 2024

Yes I know, I'm stupidly early, but I love a beauty advent calendar and I've just seen Liberty has stopped a sneak peek at their offering this year...

@Growlybear83 Fantastic 😂

Hi, the Harrods Beauty Calendar appears to be back in stock - again - at least it’s in my basket atm! The fragrance calendar appeared for a split second, but disappeared again.

I would probably have gone to an H store yesterday if I had a) remembered they existed and that there’s one near me and b) if I had known they were giving out freebies and scratchcards!

As it is, I am a bit reluctant to join the ‘will it turn up/won’t it?’ club via an online purchase!

mynameiscalypso · 02/09/2024 15:51

The Harrods saga has been crazy. I'm almost tempted to try and order one when they're in stock as I have FOMO!

Stowickthevast · 02/09/2024 16:25

Gosh the Harrods fisticuffs is crazy. Thanks for the eye witness account @Growlybear83 !

I was too late to sign up for the fragrance one and would probably have dithered any way. I'm the past I've had Liberty's twice, Cult Beauty and JL, oh and a couple of M&S but never been tempted by multiple ones. I didn't get one last year as had so much to use up.

I think I'm holding out to see Vogue contents this year, but nothing else is calling to me yet.

I agree I think they should have delayed the sale of the calendars a week until they had sorted out the preorder mess as now they risk running out of stock on their preorders. The thing that has annoyed me is the extra goodies/points on in store purchases yesterday . Meanwhile we gave them our cash 3 weeks ago and receive nothing possibly not even the thing we paid for

Exactly. Even if we do get a calendar it’s taken what should be a great experience and made it memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Just catching up - the harrods story is crazy, what are ppl like??

I'm probably going to go for H&B and possibly JL although the Neom candle & pillow spray are putting me off 🥱

@BakeOffRewatch best of luck for the imminent arrival!

MidnightMeltdown · 02/09/2024 18:22

Anyone had a dispatch notification from Harrods yet?

I thought that they were supposed to be sending them out today but mine still says 'reviewing order'.

MonkeyTennis34 · 02/09/2024 18:26

Does anyone know when the Next ACs will be available?

Like the look of the Luxury one.

AprilLady · 02/09/2024 18:26

@MidnightMeltdown my beauty advent calendar order has changed from “reviewing order” to “processing order” but my fragrance calendar order is also still saying “reviewing order”. It looks to me like they aren’t despatching any of the fragrance pre-orders until Friday’s mess is sorted. Complete shambles. Pretty sure I had the fragrance calendar by this point last year.

Thanks @AprilLady. At least I know that it's not just me!

Goodness knows how long it's going to take them to sort this out. If they know that they've got the correct number of calendars, you would have thought that they'd start sending out the ones that they haven't refunded.

MonkeyTennis34 · 02/09/2024 18:51

Thanks @virgocatlover 😀

QueefofSheena · 02/09/2024 19:07

My order still says cancelled, but no sign of a refund

OK beauty box AC has a join waist list £90 for £570 value)

SoloCat · 02/09/2024 19:38

Read your fab review @Growlybear83 and after reading other reviews about the service I had the feeling that Harrods is now the equivalent of a Tesco for wealthy customers.

Had my refund…not sure if that makes it better or worse for the chances of receiving one. 😞

pinkchampagne1 · 02/09/2024 19:40

I got OK last year with a £20 discount so think it was about £75. It was apparently worth over £700 and was ok for the money I paid but the box itself was very cheap.

And F&M is their Waitrose?

Harrods is their M&M world.

virgocatlover · 02/09/2024 19:43

I'm ok with a crappy box if the contents are good, I would rather that than pay more for the packaging as I don't reuse them.

Yes, F&M definitely Waitrose. I’m quite partial to Waitrose myself! 😁

Branster · 02/09/2024 19:49

@pinkchampagne1 box looks much better this year but not as tall, maybe it has double drawers?

YesItIsNovemberAndMyChristmasTreeIsUp · 02/09/2024 19:51

Yes it was £75 last year. It contained the kate somerville peptide k8 cream which made the whole thing worth it just for that. I can't find any details on what's in this year's calendar.

If I'm paying over £200 then I want beautiful packaging but for anything else I don't mind as long as it lasts the season. The problem with the ok one last year is it fell apart and didn't last. That was fine as I purchased for the kate cream but for others I can understand the disappointment

pinkchampagne1 · 02/09/2024 19:52

Oh yes that box looks loads better.
