🎄 2025 Style and Beauty Advent Calendar Discussion ***SPOILERS***

[BakeOffRewatch]

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

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

I'm going to be in the office. I knew this would happen. 😭I might have to set my friend up as a proxy.

Has anyone else smelt the Jo Malone one? Coca cola sounds... interesting

I have just booked a meeting in my calendar 😂

This is a consideration. Meeting rooms are like gold dust though.

Is it wrong to take annual leave for a calendar? 🤔

So far tempted by Fortnums, Liberty abd potentially Harrods. But need to see John Lewis. Spacenk and cult beauty normally have too much make in for me. LiB can sometimes be good.
I’d love Diptyque but not as much as exciting as a multi brand.

Probably wrong not to.

Good point. 😂

I'm finding the slow reveal boring and confusing. I need full product list with sizes, and the calendar price. It all seems a bit pointless, and definitely not exciting

How quickly does the fragrance calendar tend to sell out?

I’ve just talked it through with DH (Well not sure he was listening) and I can justify 2.

but then I remembered that Liberty had a good GWP last year and also the Christmas kits …

I’m definitely getting Anthropology this year. I missed it last time over hesitating too long. Giving Boots a miss for the first time, as it’s too samey now.
Hopefully Harvey Nicks will preview their fragrance soon, having had Harrods for 2 years on the trot.
Liberty is already paid for, so I’ll have some more in the beauty club if they have a nice GWP.
Then the non beauty one is going to be Bird & Blend tea.

It will be very quick. You need to decide before the launch date if you want it and then be ready to go at the time it releases. I wouldn't expect there to be any left the following day unless you go in the store perhaps.

I've set an alarm. I have an office job so able to order but if you work in eg maybe a hospital, could ask someone to order for you.

Right, so I need to be online as soon as it is released?
I think I will try to get one this year and then maybe ask DH to get me the beauty one for my birthday

Store release for Harrods is usually later. Last year, it was something like 1st September- a Sunday I think? I had pre-ordered but was then part of the fragrance calendar fiasco so went to buy in store on release date. I was actually surprised/ In store was great-there was a queue before opening and they gave out freebies with purchase (SDJ minis and a few other bits) as well as scratch cards for free beauty rewards points (I got £25 but I think amounts were from £5-£100). I had considered doing this again this year - but I’m going to preorder. I want them both and would be gutted to miss out. So alarm at the ready on Tuesday.

To clarify, I went to a H Beauty store to buy- it was very civilised- none of the scrapping that happened at Harrods Knightsbridge!

I’ve just had an email to say that the pre orders are open for the Sentier 12 day candle. Has anyone had this one before?

Alarm set for Tuesday! Good luck all :)

@Addictedtobeauty are all the Harrods Calenders releasing for pre order on Tuesday or is it just the fragrance?

Last year the fragrance and main beauty calendar definitely released for preorder on the same day- I’m guessing 7th August- as that’s when I bought them. I don’t know about the cheaper one as I didn’t buy it. Likewise, the in store release was the same day for both. I’ve checked my rewards account and it was definitely Sunday 1st September in store last year. I’m expecting this year to be 31st August or 7th September, probably the earlier date.

I have it & I love it. It's been my Winter scent for the last couple of years. It doesn't smell of Coke at all.

Looking forward to seeing Space NK, Look Fantastic and ASOS.

I’ve had Space NK every year for the past couple of years. It’s always my favourite

If it is at 11am I may just have to have an 'important call with my doctor' scheduled for then I think. I originally had a meeting at that time which has been postponed to wednesday - the relief!

I've taken annual leave to get in the john lewis sale before.....

I got Harvey Nichols last year! It was brilliant, I still use the perfumes which are all amazing, the skin products were great quality! Definitely recommend. This year I signed up Liberty beauty drop to save up for the calendar

That’s a wise decision.

I’m feeling a bit flustered that I might need to make a decision soon 🤣
