Beauty advent calendars 2024

[virgocatlover]

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!

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

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.

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!

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'.

Does anyone know when the Next ACs will be available?

Like the look of the Luxury one.

@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.

5th September (Thursday)

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.

Thanks @virgocatlover 😀

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

The Nuxe calendar is available at Escentual with 20% off, bringing it down to £65.60. Very small size items though. https://www.escentual.com/nuxe028/

Mine too! x

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

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. 😞

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.

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! 😁

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

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

Oh yes that box looks loads better.
