I've just collected my Nuxe advent from TK Maxx so thank you to the pp who shared that.

It has perforated doors that you open like a chocolate calendar. I opened day 1 but it felt wrong! When advents have drawers you can have a sneak peak and it leave it looking untouched for December. I may buckle this evening and just rip into it though!

@Growlybear83 @JoRaRaRa I'm very jealous you are both getting PDM. Will I be able to hold back from the FOMO? 😂

Mine has been ripped apart already. I picked it up yesterday, opened a couple of doors and then couldn’t easily get the product out so just tore it all open. I hate some of the cheap packaging.

Also very jealous if the PDM!! Maybe ill splurge again!!

Well that's it, I'm going for it! Not even waiting until the evening because I'm WFH today and my meeting due now is cancelled lol

Definitely not, so you might as well just buy it now 💁🏻‍♀️🩷

Haha I love that you're both just ripping through them 😍

The narrator for RHOBAC would be saying “In the glamorous world of the RHOBAC, self-control lasts about as long as tissue paper… and by September, two members already lie buried beneath the products and shredded cardboard of their advent calendars.” 🤣

@OvaHere. I think you should get PDM too - you will probably regret it if it sells out quickly.

I might regret it but I can't really justify the spend right now and I do have some Delina minis plus Valaya from Harrods fragrance. If it's still available at the beginning of Nov and I haven't bought anything else I can probably swing it.

Sniph AC out now - www.sniph.co.uk/advent-calendar-2025-contents/

Eggmcmuffin · 30/09/2025 18:00

I think im going to go for the look fantastic one. Does anyone know if there are any codes dor a few quid off anywhere? Ive had a search through the usual sites but its exempt from lost. I don't know about any 'influencer'codes though, has anyone had any success?

I haven't seen any this year. Only thing I know that works is the beauty box subscriber discount of £10. Unless you are really interested in joining up to that then it's probably not worth it.

Sorry if it's been mentioned but Aldi are bringing out a beauty advent.12 Days of Lacura Beauty Advent Calendar priced at £19.99 in a few weeks time.

For a cheap calendar the contents have been very well thought out. Much more so than many of the expensive ACs.

NeitherStylishnorBeautiful · 30/09/2025 19:03

I’ve just had a message from Glossybox, £5 off the AC with code 5ADVENT, taking it to £85.
I have this one already and to me this is far and away the best of the under £100 multi-brand options, posting the code in case others are still deciding.

Just had an email from SNK inviting me to join the waitlist for next years calendar now this years has sold out 🤣

owlpassport · 30/09/2025 19:31

powtonharris · 30/09/2025 17:17

What do you think? I've read all the descriptions and I'm not sure. I think Space NK will be a safer option, but also less interesting.

Not going for it, but that's because i have 5 already (normally I just have one though - honest!)

Quick, sign up. You don't want to miss out do you? 😂

HollyGolightly4 · 30/09/2025 20:48

That Aldi calendar looks lovely! Agree about it being well curated x

Brightermornings · 30/09/2025 21:10

I think the Aldi will sell out really quick.

shinny · 30/09/2025 21:52

I also got the SNK email! Was expecting it to say join the waitlist as we’re doing another drop but clearly not!

Agree about Aldi - I’d love a BAC that walked you through the stages of getting cleansed, toned, serumed and oiled and made up and then removed make up and got you ready for bed with sleep spray etc. Then no double products either.
