🎄 2025 Style and Beauty Advent Calendar Discussion ***SPOILERS*** THREAD 3

[BakeOffRewatch]

Annual Style and Beauty Advent Calendar discussion thread. First AC reveal this year was 23rd June. First luxury reveal was 2nd July.

Thread 1: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5360770-2025-style-and-beauty-advent-calendar-discussion

Thread 2: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5388836-2025-style-and-beauty-advent-calendar-discussion-spoilers-thread-2

The regulars on the thread mainly discuss luxury BAC and this dies down by September when everyone has purchased and forgotten the contents. Then it goes into discussion on what’s selling out, what hasn’t and what deals and discounts to be had on ACs in the lead up to December. Then in December we move onto AC opening threads!

There’s a separate thread for GWP, discounts and other deals here: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5338957-beauty-chat-freebiesgifts-with-purchaseoffers-thread-three

A thread for the Liberty Beauty Drop here: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5253698-liberty-beauty-drop-spoiler-from-the-despatch-date-part-9

MN has a great Christmas board for deals and early gift buying here: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas

Mine still says processing, I’m probably at the end of the line now I’ve complained!

Beautybay advent calendar is on sale now and for £120.

Boots reveal their contents tomorrow so that will help me choose between that and Lookfantastic.

I've not yet seen when Glossybox is being released but I do like the look of it this year so will plan to get it. I also like Space NK and what we have seen so far of the Sephora calendar. I've signed up to the waitlist for ok beauty too.

My Liberty is still sealed in its box. I never check.

I've signed up to the Holland and Barratt advent calendar waitlist and would be interested in hearing from those that have had it before.

@MentyB I picked up the ted baker advent for around £36 last October. My husband enjoyed opening it.

Me too! I am intrigued what the free gift is if you pre-order also, hope they reveal it 🤔

@Evergreen21 thank you! He won't use half the stuff in one like look fantastic and I know he likes ted baker. He would probably love an Aftershave one but he insists on spraying half a bottle at a time so would be wasted on him 😆

Mine been saying this since Monday

Oh! Ok beauty is looking lively! Best of the rest so far. Roll on the Boots reveal tomorrow.

The Boots Macmillan AC is half price at £44. I didn't spot that one earlier.

No, just a few products. Guess it will be on Friday when it launches.

Don't they realise we want to pour (pore?!) over the contents before we can order!

They do understand but they want you to be gripped by FOMO and impulsively panic buy. 😂

Ooo is there a set time for the boots reveal?

@QueefofSheena@ElizabethG81I an still waiting for both of my Harrods, the order is still processing.

Did someone have the contents list of the Look Fantastic beauty AC? I can’t seem to find it and I’m updating my spreadsheet to decide my final choices

The unboxing for both the Boots calendars are on YouTube.
The link below is for the skincare one.

Everybody ordered on the same day so I don’t see why they can’t just be organised for once!

i don’t know- I’m just going by the info in this thread I think it was @Evergreen21 who shared the Boots reveal date.

Thanks @MrsBnow12 they seem pretty solid advents . Getting slightly concerned now we are literally a few days away from a deluge of advent releases and I have no clue what to do

@MrsBnow12 thank you
There are some good products there. Anyone else find the youtuber annoying? She had that daft habit of referring to inanimate objects as "she"! I'm looking forward to seeing the list now. I was hoping for more Korean products in the skincare one. It would have been helpful if she'd said the colours of the make up in the premium one - rather than just raving about everything.
