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.

I’m clueless about k beauty so will give this one a miss. Feel like I ought to investigate more and move with the times but I just can’t-,I’m already the embarrassed owner of a stash that I can never use. Another avenue would be dangerous!

I’m fully expecting the advent spoilers to start coming out in force now- I’m so looking forward to perusing and comparing- my favourite pastime for the next couple of months. I love it more than the actual opening 😁.

MidnightMeltdown · 29/07/2025 22:41

I’ve never bought YesStyle before, but I’ve had a Stylevanna calendar for the past couple of years and haven’t found it difficult to buy. They restock multiple times and usually have a discount code.

HollyGolightly4 · 29/07/2025 22:43

The year before @BakeOffRewatch . I wasn't tempted last year, but the year before was absolutely fantastic! I still use a lot from it.

pinkchampagne1 · 30/07/2025 10:38

Ohh advent chat has begun! 😃
I am guessing Harrods will soon be available for pre order. I got the Harrods calendar last year and really enjoyed it.

OchonAgusOchonOh · 30/07/2025 10:52

I've had a look at the YesStyle one and it's not for me. Way too much make-up.

Arrearing50 · 30/07/2025 11:37

My dd would love it though - I’m contemplating if I can face this competitive AC challenge!

pinkchampagne1 · 30/07/2025 11:49

Does anyone know around when the Harrods fragrance advent might be released? I know it sells out very fast

OchonAgusOchonOh · 30/07/2025 11:58

Mine probably would too. Mind you, they have a lot more time and opportunities to use up all the make-up. I have more than enough to see me out. The only things I can see me ever needing to buy again are foundation and possibly primer.

Puravida23 · 30/07/2025 12:16

@pinkchampagne1 i checked this yesterday and bought mine (Harrods fragrance) last year on the 7th August not sure if it will be released that early this year

Growlybear83 · 30/07/2025 12:18

I was talking to Harrods Customer Services on Friday about a problem I’m having logging into my account and mentioned the advent calendars. The person I spoke to said that the release date had t been agreed yet, but it will presumably be quite soon.

Arrearing50 · 30/07/2025 12:31

Same here @OchonAgusOchonOh ! Although it doesn’t stop me looking

ellieinfrance · 30/07/2025 13:05

I'm interested in trying the Charlotte Tilbury calendar this year. But no idea when it comes out or how good it is in terms of value for money.

Isabelle70 · 30/07/2025 13:24

Did the Harrods fragrance and regular calendar get released at the same time last year? I have had Liberty for the last few years but fancy both Harrods this year. I always ask my Dd to see what the products are and if it would be something I would like so it’s all a surprise for me.

Puravida23 · 30/07/2025 14:01

@Isabelle70 they did release their Harrods normal advent at the same time but that didn’t sell out until early September from what I remember. I ordered it 4th September and I think it sold out soon after this

I'm interested in trying the Charlotte Tilbury calendar this year. But no idea when it comes out or how good it is in terms of value for money.

The CT chest of drawers always look lovely. Based on reviews it's not the best value for money as it's usually a 12 day, most items are minis and it's not the best price to worth ratio - last year £170 for value of £243.

I've read it is a bit samey if you buy it every year. But if you've never had it before that doesn't matter and they may do something totally different this year.

It launched 10/9 on the app last year. I don't think they usually sell out and may even get discounted post Xmas. Someone can correct me on that if I'm wrong.

Pickled21 · 30/07/2025 14:24

I was scrolling on tiktok when I came across the 2024 beautycrop advent calendar on sale for £50. The price can vary on tiktok and last time i checked you could get another 10% off.The listing does say the boxes could be damaged but mine came today and is in perfect condition. I had originally thought I would just open it straight away and use the items myself but I've decided to pack it away and give it to my niece. It's a gamble as boxes could be damaged but you could always use them as stocking fillers or in gift baskets if not purchasing for yourself. Thought I would share incase anyone else wanted to pick one up.

They seem to get earlier and earlier each year.
I associate them more with early autumn than Christmas

pinkchampagne1 · 30/07/2025 16:00

Thank you. 🙂 I seem to remember it being quite early in August last year. I ordered the beauty one but the fragrance calendar had already sold out.
I don’t really need more perfumes but still felt I had missed out last year. 😆

Doubleraspberry · 12/07/2025 10:09

Just spotted, Penhaligons 2024 calendar in the outlet shop for £250.

@Doubleraspberry is that an online outlet store? Thanks

Stoic123 · 30/07/2025 20:08

Thought would join the thread as I enjoyed the chat last year - but am going to try to resist actually buying a calendar this year to continue getting my stash under control. I got the Harrods calendar last year which I really enjoyed.

I've been really good with 'no buy' on beauty so far this year - except for a lapse on fragrance (Cult Beauty did some fab edits back in March and I bought a couple).

pinkchampagne1 · 30/07/2025 20:27

I am also working through my stash. I know I won’t be able to resist an advent calendar though. Am hoping Harrods will be as good as it was last year.

Isabelle70 · 30/07/2025 22:17

@Puravida23 hopefully they do the same this year :) I have to pay extra for overseas shipping so if I can do one order, only one postage cost.

lookingforwardtoautumn2 · 31/07/2025 07:45

Cult Beauty is out 3rd September if you’ve signed up to the waitlist

Peridot1 · 31/07/2025 08:57

@Stoic123 - I’m the same. I enjoy the chat but really don’t need a calendar. I did a bit of a sort out and had to bin quite a bit a sit was so old which is ridiculous. So I need to concentrate on using what I have. And not buying any more! I’ll avoid looking at anything related to the M&S one though and might get that if I’m feeling hard done by!
