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...

Oooo wonder what the third advert calendar will be?! I would love the Harrods fragrance one, last year it sold out so quickly!

Growlybear83 · 03/08/2024 10:48

@wheresmyshoe Thank you! I'm already a beauty rewards member and have been getting quite excited each time I get an email from Harrods - I have an exciting social life too 😆. I missed the email last year and the preorders sold out quickly, so I had to traipse up to Harrods the day the fragrance advent calendar went on sale in the store.

Apologies for jumping on your thread, do you know when the Diptyque calendar will be released (Christmas not summer) please?

Topsyturvey10 · 03/08/2024 12:30

Does anyone have a link to the CB Scent with love fragrance, is it an edit or advent?

Talisin · 03/08/2024 13:11

@Topsyturvey10 It’s an advent and so far is only mentioned on the Waitlist page.

I can't remember what I got last year. I did get the Jurlique one from Bridal Beauty Company and it is lovely. Every single thing was so nice and I've almost used everything. Well impressed.
I may consider the Holland and Barratt one this time, depending. I have enough make up and skincare. I just don't use as much now I'm retired. I do enjoy scents, but it feels such a waste just to wear it at home if it's a really expensive one. I know that's absurd but I do !

@GentlemanJack
Wear the scent for you; you deserve to smell nice.
Im retired and I really enjoy choosing which of my scents I will wear each day depending on my mood, the time of year etc.

Someaddedsugar · 04/08/2024 07:12

Thank @CocoMascara Smile

CocoMascara · 04/08/2024 11:16

@Someaddedsugar I lust after the Diptyque one every year, but get distracted by the other candles and limited edition scents in their Xmas collection and can never quite justify it!!

Popcorndoggy · 04/08/2024 19:38

Just place marking. I got the M&S one last year but am hoping for maybe Space nk or cult beauty this year depending on what they are like.

Fortnum & Mason contents revealed beautyadventcalendar.net/fortnum-mason-beauty-advent-calendar-2024/

There are some nice things in the F&M, but 4 serums and just one moisturiser seems a bit unbalanced. I'd prefer a lovely cleansing balm, a night cream in addition to the moisturiser & just 2 serums.
The ACs always seem to give the muscle relax version of the Aromatherapy Associates bath oil. A different scent would be nice.

JudgeBurrito · 07/08/2024 08:20

Oh man, I had F&M last year and I said I wasn't getting it again as it's not the most exciting to open, but I think they've done really well with those contents. It is a lot of serums, but that appeals to me as I already have day and night creams that I like and that work for me. I like the sound of the sleep mask. Full size Bum Bum cream (last year lots only had 25ml in), plus a wee bit of makeup... It's a contender for me.

BakeOffRewatch · 07/08/2024 08:27

I would really enjoy using nearly everything in the F&M, even the candle because it’s a Christmas scent and I LOVE Christmas smells. Four serums is perfect for me and I’m not into cleansers. The Wildsmith Copper Peptide Serum is £105 and I haven’t tried that one itself, but that’s a very effective product and ingredient. Just a lot of perfume (4 drawers), and I’m still making my way through the Liberty Scent With Love kit. The Gallivant one is advertised as smelling like London rain 😂. Indulgent bath products and serums are definitely my bag though.

I think I’ll still get the Liberty though because at £240 it is a bargain if you’ll use all the full sizes. And it’s got enough of a mix that you wouldn’t have to purchase anything through winter.

BIossomtoes · 07/08/2024 08:34

The things that put me off are the scrunchie, sleep mask and make up bag. I have no use for those things so they’re drawers of doom. And a pillow spray would join the collection from other calenders and GWPs. I bet there’s loads of the ubiquitous Bum Bum cream on eBay. It’s a no from me.

Housewife2010 · 07/08/2024 09:34

The more I look at it, the more I like F&M. The only things I wouldn't use are the face mask, scrunchie & bum bum cream & I could eBay them.
I do love exciting makeup & F & M always plays safe, but there are so many nice & useful things. The sleep mask retails for about £70 too!
I've had Liberty the last couple of years & have loved it, but there are fewer exciting items in there for me and more I wouldn't use.

wheresmyshoe · 07/08/2024 09:47

I like the vast majority of the F&M calendar, great to see multiple perfumes included. My DoD are the wool sleep mask (I can't wear wool on my body, never mind my face), the makeup bag and scunchie (less the concept of including these more that I don't like Posner designs).
The price point is quite toppy for me. I'd love to see exciting calendars below £200 and certainly below £250, it doesn't seem very long ago that they were (Fortnum's was £195 in 2020).

Bimblesalong · 07/08/2024 09:57

Joining in. I was a beauty drop member so got the liberty one last year - don’t think I’ll go for that this year. Also got space nk and that would be on my possibles list this year.

BIossomtoes · 07/08/2024 10:04

Has SNK released any indication of contents yet? I can’t find anything.

paisley256 · 07/08/2024 10:05

Already? Oh go on then 😁

CountryCob · 07/08/2024 10:09

That is a pretty and well thought out calender, would prefer a bit more make up and less serum...

QueefofSheena · 07/08/2024 14:12

I like the look of it, particularly the perfumes. The drawers of doom for me are the AA items and I don’t need another make up bag.

emily012 · 07/08/2024 14:47

Wow, you're super excited! Thanks for sharing the sneak peek of Liberty's beauty advent calendar for 2024.

CointreauVersial · 07/08/2024 16:25

Oooh, FAR too early to be looking at Advent Calendars.....and yet.....I'm sucked in!

I tend to be faithful to good old M&S, because it's at a reasonable price point and doesn't feel too scarily extravagant. But that F&M one is tempting me.
