🎄 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

I have just tried again and its working 🤔 try using private browser mode and enter the address manually. Then use the same for billing address 🤞🤞🤞

The year that they were all reduced I had a wall of advent in the spare room. This wasn’t even all of them. I had Liberty this year as well

I prefer the Ltd edition for the scents but If you're not bothered about those then the Classic has a few extra beauty products. I can't remember exactly what they were but I definitely preferred the scent option.

Brilliant!

Top Cashback today have £5 bonus with a £20 spend on their gift cards … loads of brands who will do a calander like M & S, Body Shop, Rituals, ASOS, JL and even Liberty so feels like a no brainer if you can afford to buy now and use later …

Oh wow!!! That is amazing! I was all geared up to buy a few this year, maybe 1 year I'll have a stack like this 😍

I've just done this and was also quite surprised to see that if you use your reward wallet to payout and choose Liberty you get an extra 7%. I have tucked this knowledge in my back pocket for now as I have £400 in payable cashback.

I always forget to use this. I should have used it on the LF AC this morning. It's 2% on the advent calendars.

I really didn’t intend to buy that many. I think I carefully chose 3, and then the irresistible discounts kept on coming! I remember that Selfridges was reduced to half price. There was an also a very good discount of Harrods. It totally wasn’t my fault

I'm hoping for some discounts this year 🤞

Has anyone received an early access email from Elle yet?
I have signed up ages ago, but no email yet 🙄

I got mine at 9am this morning.

I got one at 9am too. Did you check spam @HolaLolla

Ooh…I’m in 😃
That would be fabulous, and my calendar would be 😁❤️

I quite like the Rituals Diorama one this year. It has a lot of Sakura which is my favourite scent. I was underwhelmed last year as I wasn't as keen on some of them. Hmm... it might be back on the table.

What do you think @IlovePond? I think you unboxed a Rituals last year also.

Anyone been to Harrods this morning? We need a spy for RHOBAC 😂

Glossybox is live for subscribers

This link emailed out by Miss Boux may work for everyone

Just remembered there's a code ELTORIA I think gives a discount for no subscribers.

Is there a discount code given out as well ?

I did, nowhere to be found

Thank you 😊

God I'm undecided , do I order GB 😫? Or hang on for JL , I know it's over double the price but I like the perfumes in it . I've gone from loving this thread to hating it . 🤣

Miss Boux didn't give one but Eltoria gave out the ELTORIA code when she unboxed it.

I tried that but it didn't work.

Maybe the discount code only works from the 5th September for Glossybox
