Harrods Advent Calendar Daily Opening

[AppleDumplingWithCustard]

Can’t see a Harrods thread so starting this one. Surely I can’t be the only person to have a Harrods AC?

Day 1 is the very expensive Valmont Prime Renewing Pack. It’s in a proper heavy jar and I haven’t looked at the cream yet as it’s under a sealed lid and I don’t want to open it until I’m about to use it. I’m expecting great things considering the retail value. 😂

It was one of the best value calendars as products are apparently worth over £1500!

Flipping 'eck - how much did this advent calender cost???

Bah, just seen, sorry! £250. Bloody hell...!

It sold out very quickly this year

Full sized EGF bioeffect power serum today. This retails for £165 so a very good day 🙂

I tried it this morning, gorgeous stuff.

£165 for that? 😱. Ok, I’ve changed my mind, I can like it now. When I initially saw it I wasn’t impressed because it is so small.

That is the full size of the EGF serum. I believe you sometimes get little 5ml bottles in beauty boxes. It is meant to be an amazing product

I have Liberty this year but interested to see what Harrods has as I will try a different calendar next year.

Today we got a full sized Elemis marine oil so another good day 😃

Wow some lovely items in this ac, if it's really popular what month do you have to order it?

It was available to pre order in August so I hinted to my DH that I would love it for my birthday in October. He ordered it in August and it was delivered early September. I believe it sold out before October

@Sunshineandrainbow I saw it being unboxed in a YouTube video and ordered it in September. It arrived very quickly.

I ordered Sept as well. Love all the products so far. I checked boxes in Sept to make sure no empty ones (didnt look at product) or leakage and then hid away.

Rodial blush drops in apricot (looks very orange but think it blends to a bronze colour) and a mini highlighter from Harrods today. I don’t think I would use either of this so a drawer of disappointment today. 😏

Today 13th Dec we have a Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner spray (50mL), which retails for £14.

Rather disappointed it’s not the 250mL size (worth £45) but I do like sprays like this; I use Rodial's Dragon's Blood Essence Mist.

I also bought my advent calendar in September and have been happy with most of the items, except for the Valmont Prime Renewing Pack face mask on Day 1. It’s worth £233 but looks, feels and smells like a cold cream from the ‘80s. Its top two ingredients are water and mineral oil, so not really convinced it’s a ‘prime’ product.

Le Mer lip volumizer today. This is an expensive product (£72) but not sure I will use it.

Boredom Mumbai Noise. Very Amber and subtle oud, like it so far.

Byredo! Not boredom!

Nice to try a Byredo perfume. Not sure if I love it or not yet, just waiting for it to settle

I really don’t like Mumbai Noise. I may have a strange nose but my first whiff of it was one of garlic!

Really good day today - a full sized Murad retinol overnight cream worth £85

Wow that's amazing.

Today 17th December it’s a 10mL sample size of Orveda’s The Omnipotent Concentrate anti-aging serum.

A full-sized 30mL bottle retails for £405 on the Harrods website. I’ll wait to try this after finishing off various serums that I already have, but it looks promising.

Day 18 was an Eve Lom foaming cleanser.
Day 19 was the Evidens SPF 50 which retails at £95!
Today we got a Charlotte Tibury lip liner in Pillow Talk. Not the most exciting product but a nice shade.
