🎄 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.

Glossybox showcase with 4 product reveal. I do like the Glossybox packaging.

It was one of the later ones last year.. mid October iirc.
But they are getting earlier and earlier each year now, never used to get pre-order this early and liberty opened for pre order last month. They aren't even pretending its not the middle of summer.. they had a picture of it on a deck chair!

I really wish I’d thought to film the fight last year 😆

I’ve not seen any of the contents for the Harvey Nick’s calendars yet - where did you see the list ?

Jeez, ebay is full of the 2025 harrods fragrance advent calendars on 'presale' despite them only just being on sale today.

Prices around £350 mark so clearly a lot have been snapped up to sell on.

So if anyone's desperate for one..

Oh @Growlybear83 no I looked again and the list was for the 2024 calendar! Argh. But the piece promised fragrances by Creed, BYREDO, Maison Crivelli, and Xerjoff.

Sorry for misleading! Still, hoping for similar to last year.

I’m getting deja vu feelings re. Harrods. Didn’t they do this last year? I have a feeling they sold out online on pre-release day, and then they were only available in store on release day. Must be so frustrating for anyone who was planning to buy tomorrow and missed out.

It definitely went on sale early last year. I remember refreshing the app every half hour or so and was able to order it at about 2 am, and I think it sold out by mid morning. Then there was the problem with some people being told they wouldn’t be getting their online porders, just before they went on sale in store.

I'm so annoyed about the fragance calendar launching today. Why tell us Tues 11am? Why not say keep an eye on the app for Monday or something like that! There is going to be a lot of angry customers tomorrow morning.

It still says under the FAQs on the advent pre order page on the app that the calendar can be pre ordered on the website from 5 August so maybe they’ve held some stock back for the morning. I hope they have for the people who weren’t able to order today.

Those scents were in last year's HN fragrance calendar.

Even worse! It was late and I clearly wasn’t reading carefully. Well hopefully this year’s is as good as last year’s!

Two of last year's HN fragrance calendar scents are in this year's Harrods one - the Nishane and the Gris Charnel- same sizes too. The Harrods fragrance one is a fabulous indulgent buy, but fortunately I wasn't tempted. I love the Jo Malone Myrrh, but there are always too many ouds and other heavier scents that don't appeal to me.
I really enjoyed last year's HN fragrance one - I need to sort out all my scents. I have far too many & don't need any more.
Liberty is definitely my favourite so far - there are only 4 items I wouldn't use/would resell.

I’m excited about the LF one - it was very good value last year and I used most of it and made someone’s day on Vinted offloading the bits I didn’t want….

Argh Harrods or Liberty??? I’m ping ponging between the two!

I'm not getting stuff then see an unboxing then full on want it and order. 🤣

I keep going back to the Harrods beauty one. I do wish it had a full size night cream, but the moisturisers it does have, I'd never be able to buy so it is a nice way to try them out. I think I've ruled out the Liberty one for now, but I need to rereview it. But the Fenwick one looks good and that's the one that's currently winning for me 😍 I need to spreadsheet them all to properly review 🤣

Yes, me too, I saw that it's their 10th anniversary for the calendar too, so I'm expecting it to be a good one. I think though that I'm getting excited about them all 🤣 possibly going to peak too early!

How much is the Lf calendar ? Does anyone know ? . I have pre ordered Liberty, will have a look at JL , but I'm not going to bother with a fragrance one this year , so might look at a third beauty 😉 although like many of you I don't really need 1 let alone 3 . Arrrr I have zero willpower.

It was £100 last year.

It was £100 last year. Here's a link to the contents from 2024: https://beauty-detective.com/lookfantastic-advent-calendar-2024/
I feel like I need more than 1 calendar this year 🤣 I usually only get 1, but this year, I want more 😈

Thanks for that. I'll have a look when it's revealed. I do find it all very exciting, even looking at the calendars I won't be purchasing.

Definitely no fragrance calendar on Harrods website today. Poor marketing from Harrods, very unfair.

Harrods calendars are now available to order on their website but only the beauty or hair advent, so seems the fragrance has sold out
