BakeOffRewatch · 23/06/2025 22:52

Saw the first post today releasing contents and price so have started this thread. Let the spreadsheets commence.

Revolution Beauty £50 beautyadventcalendar.net/revolution-advent-calendar-2025/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DLQEY5ao22M

I’ve called it S&B as there’s usually discussion of nice food, socks, jewellery and other item ACs as well.

Signing up. Somewhat reluctantly in June but we are where we are! 😂

Thanks @BakeOffRewatch

Pickled21 · 24/06/2025 00:04

Thanks @BakeOffRewatch . I'm excited to follow as joined late last year. This year I'd like to get my sister an advent calendar as with a birthday on the 1st December it seems like an apt gift. I'd also like one or two for myself and one for my dh. I've kept my empty advent calendars from last year to make up ones for my kids.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 24/06/2025 02:04

Thanks @BakeOffRewatch
This year is zooming by so quick!

Growlybear83 · 24/06/2025 02:05

Signing up too! I have to admit that I picked up last year’s l’Artisan Parfumeur calendar half price in a sale recently so have got that tucked away.

MrsBnow12 · 24/06/2025 07:39

Another one signing up and can’t believe it is still June but looking forward to the analysis and spreadsheets.
I am hoping to pick up a fragrance one and a k-beauty this year.

QueefofSheena · 24/06/2025 07:42

Signing up. I’ve fallen off all my usual beauty/perfume threads as I’m ploughing through my stash and want no temptations. Advent Calendars are different though 😁

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 24/06/2025 07:51

Signing up as well. I’ve had the Libertys one the last couple of years but would be interested in k-beauty for my teen.

HolidayHattie · 24/06/2025 10:21

I've only got into perfumes this year so will be interested in any scent ones.

TragicMuse · 24/06/2025 10:37

I’m saving my Liberty BD credit for theirs. But I love the evaluations and assessments of all the others!

Roundaboot · 24/06/2025 11:05

Marking my spot and starting the stash reduction in readiness! I had JL and H&B last year and my current thinking is that I'll probably go the same way this year (partly as I have JL vouchers which would cover the cost of the calendar) but I might be tempted to try something else. I'm also looking forward to the chat and analysis

Wallasey123 · 24/06/2025 13:06

Marking my spot. Can’t believe we’re halfway through the year already

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 24/06/2025 15:33

I really should be on an AV buying ban this year. I bought five in 2023 and despite vowing to be more restrained, bought four in 2024. I could open my own shop with all the stuff I have. 😱

Fairyliz · 24/06/2025 16:17

Ooh exciting I love an advent calendar.

I may have found my AC doppelgänger,

I have more than enough stash for a lifetime from the last couple of years but, as usual, I can’t wait to see the offerings this year- I just love everything about AC perusing and buying.

Thank God I’m not the only one. 🤭

Brightermornings · 24/06/2025 20:06

I’m in I also have lots and lots of products but an advent calendar is different right

Totally different.

I could probably make an advent calendar for every person on this thread from my stash. 😳

TreesinthePark · 24/06/2025 21:27

I'm joining....been waiting all year for this thread!

Fedupandstressed · 24/06/2025 21:46

I’ve been saving up with liberty beauty to get the advent. I skipped it last year and got the boots premium instead. Oh, the regret! I’ve had Harrods fragrance twice now, but I might get a different one this year. Did Harvey Nicks do one? I can’t remember which was the best one.

lookonthebrightside0 · 24/06/2025 21:52

Joining even though my stash could probably last me a few years. Advent calendars are my weakness

EggnogNoggin · 24/06/2025 21:59

Is it wrong that I've been excited about this for months!? I'm furiously driving down my stash from LF, HB & M&S!

LF have a notifications list open already!

Arrearing50 · 24/06/2025 22:04

The LF advent calendar was good value last year - I don’t get m&s but my DM got it for me for a present and lots of useful stuff.

BatFaceChops · 24/06/2025 22:05

I bought 5 last year and have decided this year I won’t buy any.

Actually that’s a lie 🤣

I’ll probably consider Liberty, John Lewis, Harrods and perhaps Selfridges. Or just … all of them

Isabelle70 · 24/06/2025 22:24

Just think in 6 months time we may have opened out last day before Christmas 🤣
I might like to try Harrods or Selfridges as my beauty calendar after having Liberty for the last 3 years.
Also going to get a fragrance one again, hopefully without the Harrods cancellation fiasco!

Growlybear83 · 24/06/2025 22:51

Yes I fancy the main Harrods calendar this year. And I hope I don’t get caught up in the scrum for the Harold’s fragrance calendar line last year 😆
