Harrods Advent Calendar Daily Opening

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. 😂

Thanks for the round up @pinkchampagne1

I agree re: Charlotte Tilbury lip liner, unexciting but will definitely be used

Today 21st Dec we have a travel size (5g) Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara, worth £16

Might be good for Christmas/NYE parties

My mascara is faulty. The brush has come adrift from the top so is stuck inside the tube. 😢

Oh no. Would it be worth contacting Harrods?

Yes, I’ll e-mail customer service. I feel I’m being picky but it was an expensive calendar.

You’re not being picky at all - like you say, it’s an expensive calendar.

Today we get a little 20ml Dr Barbara Sturm face cream. It is only a travel size but this little size retails for £55!

Today 23rd Dec we have The Retinol Serum by Augustinus Bader (15mL) retailing for £145, nice value

Overall this has been a great AC as I like to focus on skincare and it’s certainly delivered

I didn’t like the Byredo Mumbai Noise fragrance though, I found it me too strong with the synthetic sandalwood and smoke notes

I didn’t like the Mumbai Noise fragrance either & sold it on Vinted.

The AB serum looks nice today. Odd bottle design though as it is rounded at the bottom so won’t stand up on my dressing table

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 23/12/2024 22:06

Stand it on its lid.

Why didn’t I think of that?! 😁

Today we got the Aromatherapy Associates bath oil. I love this so always happy to receive it and as it retails at £58, it is not something I would purchase for myself so it is a lovely treat.

I decided to open my adventure calendar today. It was so nice to open 25 presents in one go. I’m really impressed with the contents and have been back over this thread to see what you all thought.

Hi I know this thread hasn't been posted on recently but I got this calendar for Christmas so have just finished opening it! Can anyone tell me what shade the La Mer lip Volumizer is? It doesn't say on the packaging and I want to sell mine.

Harassedevictee · 20/01/2025 12:09

@OnthePisteAgain I can’t see it on the bottle either. Looking at the website it’s the palest one, Ultra Sheer Soft Pink.

Thank you, I thought it would be that one.
