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.

Hi All. Have only been on here a few week. So excited to find other beauty addicts. ♥️
I saw about this advent and have had an email. The reviews are good but I already have a fair few candles to get through and it's got quite a few in it. Forget to light them 🤣
Interested what other think.
I, like many on here, have a massive stash already. 🥰 but can't deny myself ♥️
I've reordered liberty as had a lot of credit. Only got HN and Clarins last year. Won't get Clarins again. Ended up selling at a loss but better than sitting under my bed x

Joining in. I'm waiting for the M&S one which my DH always gets for me as an early Christmas gift.

BlueLimes · 02/08/2025 09:25

That’s a wise decision.

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

Me too. My plan for Tuesday is to dive in and try secure the fragrance advent. Then tackle the beauty advent in a separate order if necessary. Is this wise?

I figure the Beauty AC will hang around a bit longer and I need a minute to digest the contents then decide whether to go for it or risk waiting for SpaceNK.

Arrearing50 · 02/08/2025 10:02

Hmmm the f&m calendar is better than last year, fewer filler products but still unsure because Harrods might have edged it…arghhh!

MrsBnow12 · 02/08/2025 10:06

@OvaHereI just looked back at my orders and ordered Harrods on 24th August so a few weeks after pre-order launched, can’t recall when SNK did their reveal but I am planning a similar plan and to order the fragrance and then wait as I said only one other around the £250 so also want to see Selfridges, Space and Harvey Nicks before deciding.

OvaHere · 02/08/2025 10:10

@MrsBnow12 I'd forgotten about Selfridges. Yes I want to see that one also.

I think Flannels might be going back to the original AC after the crackers last year. Not definite but the Miss Boux YT channel hinted that one is coming back that didn't release last year and a lot of the comment guesses were for Flannels.

This is exactly my plan. Frag cal will likely sell out much sooner, within hours and for me frag>beauty .

OvaHere · 02/08/2025 10:12

@IDontHateRainbows Sorted then. It's a plan. Best of luck everyone. 😁

BlueLimes · 02/08/2025 11:02

@OvaHere yes I think it’s a good plan, I’m going to try to hold out to October - I want to wait for JL too.
@Arrearing50 agree - fortnums looks very good - the 2x cult51 products alone are rrp over £200

I’m going to end up with 3 aren’t I?

Absolutely won’t be 4 - not at all.

Arrearing50 · 02/08/2025 11:09

@BlueLimes i love that Cult51 night cream - f&m has great brands

BlueLimes · 02/08/2025 11:10

@Arrearing50 agree - I’ve sort of justified the rest of the calendar will be free with the 2 Cult51 products 😀

Doglover73 · 02/08/2025 11:11

I didn't want the Harrods fragrance calendar but just watched an unboxing of last years and now I do 😬🤷🤣

Growlybear83 · 02/08/2025 11:18

@Doglover73Im the same as you with candles. I would love the Diptyque calendar but it usually has quite a few candles. I always forget to light them, and I’ve got about 20 sitting in a drawer now waiting to be used. None of the main calendars have really excited me so far, but I will probably get Harrods as I really regretted buying Liberty instead last year.

Arrearing50 · 02/08/2025 11:22

And not to encourage you @BlueLimes butnrbe f&m calendars are just so beautiful and Christmassy

DartmoorWanderer · 02/08/2025 11:24

Does anyone know if the body shop will be doing their advent calendar this year? I usually love it!

Addictedtobeauty · 02/08/2025 11:42

Have Harrods released prices yet? Last year was £165 for the fragrance and I think £250 for the beauty.

OvaHere · 02/08/2025 11:46

@Addictedtobeauty not that I've seen. I'm expecting them to go up in price.

Doglover73 · 02/08/2025 12:00

I'm curious as that makes a difference.
I had it in my head that the harrods fragrance would be about £350 so won't get it but if under £200 I think I'll have to. 🙄🤣

Same for me. If it's in the 150-175 ballpark for the fragrance one that might be a goer! I can be free at 11 on Tuesday so I'll be looking 😃

pinkchampagne1 · 02/08/2025 12:05

Sure it is usually around £175 for the fragrance and the beauty one has always been £250

BakeOffRewatch · 02/08/2025 12:09

I’m not fragrance-y or Harrods-y but there are a few of the previewed perfumes that are exactly my type of thing and below £200 would make it worth it. Would definitely open and use before Christmas though.
