🎄 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.

@RainbowZebraWarrior including find it either but I’m in their friends thing so expect I’ll get and email soon and will post it

I can’t find it either @RainbowZebraWarrior . It’s not just you!

@RainbowZebraWarrior it seems to be a sponsored ad on Facebook so doesn’t show on their page but may be able to find it by looking for their current sponsored ads tab if that’s a thing

Harry Nichols and Jo Malone wait lists are open.

Oooh I love this thread. I'm hoping for a return to form for Vogue.

Cult Beauty Advent first spoilers have been released I am excited about two versions and with a £20 gift card and hopefully some sort of initial discount like last year the price of £240 is not too bad . Just a shame all the spoilers are make up which I am not interested in

The Cult Beauty box is really off-putting. I want Christmassy vibes, not weird cut ‘n’ paste media (especially at that price point).

Loads of them aren't Christmassy. It's one reason why I'm going back to Liberty this year.

I mean, as a rule over the last few years. I haven't got an exclusive look at them all for 2025.

I know, but generally they are at least attractive or interesting to look at. This one is just ugly.

Thank you! Agree the box isn’t appealing.

Not remotely interested in the CB from the spoilers. Agree the packaging is also unappealing- looks cheap.

That will be a no from me then based on the increased amount of make-up.

I hate this teaser approach. Just tell me what's in the bloody thing. I'm not a child.

Hmmm - I love CB but that box is unusually vile, but it depends what else is in it…I don’t think I’d have it for advent though.

And here I was saving up to buy CB - I don't think I have ever seen fuglier advent calendar design than this one. Underwhelming makeup as well. I might buy other edits but don't want this box in my house.

No, of the contents are somehow amazing I’d be looting it and cutting it up for recycling…

No. Totally agree that the CB design looks really cheap.

Not keen on the design but tbh I'm okay with that, will make it easier to put in the recycling. The nice ones I want to keep then end up with a house full of boxes.

Okay with the spoilers. Not wow but I'm more interested in what skincare and/or fragrance might be in there. If I recall last year they did 2 versions - one having more fragrance in it.

Yeah they’re doing two this year as well, here’s a quote from the beauty detective article on Cult Beauty 2025 beauty advent calendar

There will be two versions: Classic Curation (which can be shipped worldwide) and the UK-only Limited-edition Curation, which contains an array of fine fragrances. https://beauty-detective.com/cult-beauty-advent-calendar-2025/^

The shift to fragrances in recent years is interesting. Maybe a recognition that they're not getting enough exciting products in make up and skincare offered to them?

It also helps bump up the 'value' as fragrance is expensive. Most people won't buy a £150+ perfume as a blind buy so the opportunity to try scents out is appealing.

I've seen this shift in myself too now I think about it. These days I consider buying every fragrance advent or kit going as I'm rarely disappointed.

I'm a skincare and makeup junkie but annoyingly have quite a few holy grails that I love but also find limiting. Examples are Sunday Riley Vit C serum, Paula's Choice toner and now Ultra Violette SPF from a 2024 advent. Poor me, lol!

I love the small bottles from all the scent kits and have built up a collection over the last 3 years. I mix and match scents each morning which is a nice start to the day and will spray again at least once if I'm staying in just because I enjoy it.

I guess it’s easier to just revel in smelling of something gorgeous and expensive for a while and then moving on to something new than finding some amazing skincare that you can’t afford to replace and wonder what it might have done for you long term!
