🎄 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.

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.

Agree. Turns out the sneak preview was the best of the bunch. I appreciate they've kept it at 250, I really thought it would go to at least 275, but to do that they've put in a lot of really small sizes (regardless of whether they call them full size).

Going to wait for to see what SpaceNK come up with.

I’m glad to see that they’re restricting the number of advent calendars you can buy - two of the fragrance calendars and five of the others. I had planned on buying the main calendar this year, but I’m not as excited as I thought I would be so I might stick to perfume this year.

That's good, should hopefully reduce the amount of people buying to just resell 🤞

Thank you for the heads up. I have just ordered the fragrance calendar. 😃
Bit disappointed with the contents of the beauty advent though. No where near as impressive as last years. 😔

Hi all. Also ordered the fragrance calendar. Also think the beauty calendar doesn’t look amazing. I’ll definitely want to analyse it further before deciding, but on first look it’s disappointing compared with recent years.

Glad you're all managing to get it! I've been lurking here for a long time but made an account just to tell you 🤣

Waitlist open for Shiseido

I think the picture is last years calendar not the new one.

Did you order any of them? I think you've made quite a few people's day. Let's hope everyone's orders go through 🤞

I'll be passing on Harrods this year but glad so many have put their pre orders in. Does anyone know when SpaceNK gets announced?

I didn't - not for me this year 😊 looking forward to SpaceNK, Cult Beauty and Lookfantastic, maybe Boots too if as they've started stocking some great brands lately

Yay managed to get the fragrance one, thanks so much Willow 🥰

I ordered in a panic and then swiftly cancelled once I saw the full line up. Very masculine perfumes and the only one I would wear is Valaya.

Hopefully soon 🤞

Glad you’ve all got your fragrance calendars pre-ordered. I’m a little jealous, because I’ve lost most of my sense of smell, so there’s no point my using perfume.

Yes, me too. And the Harvey Nicks one, it was between that and the Harrods one for me last year, so hopefully theirs will be good this year 🤞 Oh and Sephora and Selfridges 🤣 I'm sure one of them will be perfect 🙏

I’ve just ordered both- thanks @Willow742 for the heads up. I haven’t even looked at the contents yet but from judging from everyone’s reactions on here, I might be cancelling the beauty one! Off to have a good look now…

Thanks @Willow742 for the Harrods heads up!

I agree the main calendar is not that exciting. Last year I just got the JLP one which for under £200 was better IMHO.

I lusted after a fragrance one as well tho. I agree with others that the Harrods fragrance one good value tho it is for sure (lots of big sizes) is a bit masculine for me. I prefer florals and citrussy scents. Do we have details on the Harvey Nicks fragrance? Last year I thought that one was really good

Is anyone going for the £99 Harrods one? I think it's a 12 days of health and beauty one. It includes a £20 blowdry voucher for drybar and one has opened here in the NE of England so I might go for it. Quite like the other products (apart from the ubiquitous Colour Wow which I have tons of)

@RainbowZebraWarrior I bought it last year and enjoyed it. Not buying this year as it's a bit samey.

I have managed to get both thanks to checking in on here. I will get my Dd to check the beauty one and that it has things I will like to use.
It says that I will start shipping on 20 August so time to make a decision …

Yeah, there's only Valaya I would wear and cba selling the rest and competing with the 100s trying to flog them for a profit!

I’ve passed on Harrods. Thought I would, but fragrance is too samey again. Still have too much left + edits

Here is the beauty list

And the Harrods fragrance

Thank you for the list. I think I’ll pass on the beauty calendar. It’s wonderful value but there’s so much of it that I wouldn’t use.
