🎄 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.

maybe space thinks its average customer is off to a winter sun destination on Boxing Day - if only!

They reckon there's 11 full sized items this year, so fingers crossed. The box does look lovely I must admit I like Anthropoligie's design style.

Harvey Nicks Fragrance reveal. Like this too. Oh dear!

It's priced at £175 so just a £10 increase. Available 30th Sep.

Ooh I think that looks great.

On closer inspection they are all small sizes plus a candle and a car fragrance. Definitely not Harrods value but it's a nice range of scents, there's quite a few I would like.

setting my alarm for that one although based on Harrods I'll be checking in the day before! Looks great although i'm sick of certain fragrances being in every calendar and box, verticaloud seems to get everywhere and vanilla powder, although vanilla powder is lovely I have a full bottle already so would prefer another matiere premiere.

All in all not a bad set for £175 will have to just beat the rush to get my hands on one.

@IDontHateRainbows Having taken a sec to digest I acknowledge a lot of what appeals about this one are some of the perfumes I know I already love because I own them. 😂

Being sensible I probably should just pick up a few on Vinted.

I like the sound of this Harvey Nicks one. Probably not fair to compare it to Harrods because that value for money is ridiculous! If I compare HN to recent scent edits then it's definitely worth me getting so I will 😀

I really enjoyed the HN 12 days of fragrance last year, thought it was great value . I'm steering clear of a fragrance one though this year . I bought the scent edit from liberty instead and you always get some in the calenders ,so I have enough to keep me going for a good 6 months .

@TreesinthePark Harrods is a bit of a one off so yes probably not comparable. However last year there was 2 x 30mls. This year it's gone up £10 and nothing above 15ml. Last year had 17 bottles and this year there's 20 bottles. Per ml it might even out.

It's a nice selection so definitely worth it if looking for a scent advent.

Actually I'm slightly wrong there because there's a candle and a car freshener. So 18 bottles plus 2 scent items.

The sizes in HN are all very small. There were 2 x 30ml ones last year - MAISON CRIVELLI Neroli Nasimba and ESCENTRIC MOLECULES Escentric 02. Two repeats from last year too (Verticaloud and Delina). And it's gone up in price.

Mind you, I still have loads left from last year so I don't know why I'm even looking. Thankfully, I'm not tempted.

Was just about say where's the beauty one and here it is.

I like the beauty one at first glance. It has the Rich Cream. I know many of you will groan but I love this.

You type quicker than me😀

And I missed that there are more items than last year.

There were technically 18 bottles last year as the hat box had a body lotion and perfume in it.

Must be the adrenaline burst from a new advent reveal. 😁

😀

I’m not as excited as I expected by the HN fragrance calendar, particularly with a candle and car fragrance. I’ve also got a couple of the perfumes. I’ve definitely crossed the beauty calendar off my list and I think the box is gruesome!😆

@Growlybear83 I don't mind the design too much. Last years was erm...interesting too.

Quite a bit of Trinny in there for the Trinny lovers.

Just noticed the dates. Much earlier release than the fragrance calendar.

Available for Harvey Nichols Rewards members from the 4th – 7th September. Available to all customers from 8th September.

I'm not terribly impressed with the HN beauty calendar. A lot of small sizes, a few fillers (yes, I know there are 37 items but nobody really needs another scrunchie or hair clip) and DOD extorodanaire, the black eye liner.

Although it is the same price as last year.

I'm a big fan of the rich cream too and I'd like the try the la mer oil, but there's no eye cream 😭 I think it's back to Harrods for me 🤣
