[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.

@Addictedtobeauty
I concur..fingers crossed. I’ll definitely purchase if it’s as good as last year. Even the much maligned door 25 SPF I’ve nearly finished, not the most exciting door, but very practical.

I agree fully. I always score them- I give 3 points to a HG product or something I really want to try and 0 to accessories/ red lipsticks/boring eyeliners. I'm also not fussed on getting a mascara unless it's a new and exciting one as you can get pretty decent mascaras for quite cheap.

Oooh would be a contender for sure! I've had Space NK for the last 2 years and never been dissapointed/used 90% of the products.

It was a really good calendar. The only products I haven't used it the supergoop glowscreen(too much Spf to get through- just about done with the Ultraviolette so will get to it). I haven't used the lipstick as too dark for me and the brow gel as I'm not fussed. Every other product has been or is used so can't complain!

I've just checked and my harrods fragrance order is still showing up as pending on my bank account and is still showing on my harrods account. I'm not sure I can face them cancelling the orders and us starting again 😭 I feel like until it's delivered we can't assume we have it 😕
@JustWhatIAlwaysWanted that's a good way to rate it, I usually do a checklist of the 5 most important products and I can usually whittle it down that way. My top 5 for this year is: FS night cream, night serum, day cream, day serum and eye cream. If I think that harrods are giving 30ml of night cream just across 2 products, then that's the only one that ticks the short list 😕 I might try your way and see how that turns out.
Also - do you think SDJ has a load of surplus stock? They seem to be in every calendar 🤣

They did this last year and from memory the wish list bore little resemblance to the contents. Just to manage expectations!

That looks a good list so far, let's hope it comes true 😍 I warned my husband last night that unless a really good one comes out, I may need to buy a few so I don't have any days of disappointment 🤣

Oh well, it was nice while it lasted 😂.

Ooh, I loved the brow product, I have quite thick brows and it just kept them in a nice shape and sort of fluffed them a bit.

I've still got it in my 'unused products' box so I might give it a go 🤣I'm rubbish at doing brows so definitely a user issue 🤣

I only recently started using the Milk primer that was in either SpaceNK or CB 2024. Never bothered with primer before but I can't believe what a difference it makes. I get home from work and my makeup still looks fresh.
I've got a load of things to try still from advents, edits and kits so I have no real business buying others. I justified Liberty with £220 BD credit.
I want another one to be so amazing I have to get it, like just so brilliant it would be a crime not to...looking at you SpaceNK 😂

And it looks like Harrods took my fragrance money but that didn't save me from the palava last year so I know nothing is guaranteed yet!

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet (sorry if this is a duplicate) Beauty Bay Advent Calendar 🎄🎅 More SDJ 🤣

Harrods took my money but now it is no longer showing as pending. I don’t know whether to contact them 🤔

This is why I've just signed up to the beauty drop to buy the 2026 AC - hopefully it's so good I won't need to look at any of the others 🤞

Just saw that. They revealed the full list. It's not bad for a mid tier calendar, probably good for younger women. Nice to see some K Beauty.

I see Charlotte Tilbury waitlist is out too.

Yes, contact them or maybe your bank and ask them if the transaction is still there. Has the money been released or is the deduction still there just without it showing on your transactions?

wasn't there a big hullaballoo last year with Harrods and them not dispatching calendars? Although I'd have thought if they've had more orders than stock they would refund .

The waitlist for the Charlotte Tilbury Advent Calendar 2025 (worth £264) is open now. Priced at £175. The calendar contains 5 full-size icons and 7 mini trinkets. Launching 9th September.

Not sure what 'mini trinkets' are? Are these mini products or something else?

I think 5 full size is an improvement on last year but it's never a great value calendar even if you love CT. The chest type boxes are always lovely to look at though.

I think I need an official list so I can pounce as soon as the reveals are done 🤣
F&M
Fenwick
Harrods
Harvey nicks
Liberty
Selfridges
Cult Beauty
Sephora
SpaceNK
Vogue

Are there any other high end calendars that I've missed?
I'm also going to look out for the Look Fantastic 😍

The chest is really cute, is it just cardboard?

I think so but quite sturdy so reusable as a chest. They may have mirrors, not sure. I've never bought one but watched a few unboxings. They do usually get put on offer at some point I think. Last year I meant to go to the outlet to see if they had them after xmas but never got around to it.

There is also John Lewis

I'm interested in the French Pharmacy one. Was 195 last year I think and seems to have a lot of large sizes.

Also Flannels. They did the crackers last year but I've read rumours of them going back to an AC this year (take with pinch of salt obvs).

I have sent a WhatsApp message to Harrods. It looks like the deduction is still there but it is no longer showing in my transactions. I am just a bit wary after last year
