🎄 2025 Style and Beauty Advent Calendar Discussion ***SPOILERS*** THREAD 6

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

🤍

It's just awful.

Sounds like a great calendar stash though.

That must have been unsettling being so nearby to you, glad you’re safe ❤️

But wow, your delivery story is peak RHOBAC 🤣 the supermarket manager carrying your wine advent calendar in the rain feels like it deserves its own episode storyline 🍷😂 Such a good stash you’ve got building. The Elle one especially tempted me this year, so many amazing skincare products for the price! I really love the idea of a wine calendar, in my head it’s such a fun way to try a few different bottles, but I really have to fancy it nowadays. I think I like the idea more than the actual drinking 😕🤣

It's the caske they hope you will be buying with your hot drink.

I don't know. I still have some of last year's calendar because I have a lot of serum style things that built up and for a while I was a sucker for buying more of the ones I liked, ignoring the build up. I have enjoyed the vast majority of things though, even when I have been slow to use them.

I don't think I eould get bored of Diptyque though. I suppose it is more would I miss Liberty?

I love that idea for a scene. Now who best to play me and deliver the line - "the wine isn't kosher"? I'm thinking Marion Cotillard, but not sure if she could pull off a northern accent?

It’s my birthday today so the Harrods beauty calendar is officially mine as it was a present from DH. 😃 Now I have to stop myself delving into it!

There's barely any info than we had before. Yes. Its coming, but no info on when or what's inside. I won't buy without knowing the contents as I'll sell half and keep half so need to know if its worth the spend.

Yayyy!!! Happy Birthday 🎉🎂🎈May your day be filled with cake, champagne, and all the beauty products your heart desires 💄🎁😁

As much as I hate the drip drip of content information, it does work as I do get extremely excited when more information is released 🤣 why do we turn into big kids when it comes to beauty products? 🤣

Happy Birthday 🎂 @pinkchampagne1

The beauty products I've bought have been cancelled and refunded from my Harrods order. Now that the order just shows the chocolate bear advent calendar, it's showing as preparing for shipping 😁🐻 fingers crossed it gets to the metrocentre for Sunday now 🤞 or I'll just have to make 2 journeys - shame!
It's a bit annoying as the guerlain powder they've refunded still shows as in stock, but I'll see if I can get it in store. Does anyone know if I'll be able to take my empties to be recycled to the hbeauty carnival?

I started looking for stuff from the JL calendar on vinted last night and ended up buying more sephora stuff, some minis (sdj shower gel, Medik8 cleanser and the Dr barbara sturm glow drops) for a few quid each, the evidens special brush and a dior blush. So I've just spent the money I've made to go towards the HN fragrance calendar 🤦🏻‍♀️ oops! And I haven't managed to get the Medik8 night cream. Someone remove vinted from me! 😬

I had a look on Vinted for JL bits too but the only bits I wanted (the Le Labo and the Medik8) were quite expensive.
I did order the Drunk Elephant vitamin C serum as it was listed for a bargain £15! I think I will blame you for putting that one in my head! 😂

Wet excited to have my Harrods advent plus a Jo Malone fragrance set as a bonus gift from DH for my birthday. 😃 Must stop buying extras now

Not sure what went wrong there - should say ‘very excited’ not ‘wet excited’ that sounds very wrong!! 😳😳

Moi?! 😇 £15 is an absolute steal though, you can't really say no at that price 🤣

Ah what fab gifts 😍 what scents are in the Jo malone set?

I keep saying that I need to stop buying extras, then I go spend a fortune on vinted. I think I need to just list what I want to sell, sell it and delete the app 🙈

🤣 Hahaha!!! 🤣

@JoRaRaRa I have just checked the Versace. It’s not in a box and the bottle does not state the ml. It’s a tiny bottle, cannot be more than 3-5ml. It isn’t a spray, just an open pour. And as for the Killian that’s in a sealed packet which I haven’t opened to convince myself I have a semblance of restraint 🤣. The Labo is gorgeous and I’m a big lover of POAL and have it already so know I love that.

@Snugglemonkey if you do go for Diptyque and you aren’t already, do register for the welcome gift. You will receive a candle and also in your birthday month you get another candle with purchase alongside any other free gift offers plus the very good samples. Diptyque customer service is fab. The calendar is stunning but I can’t justify it as I have several unopened Diptyque candles and I’m waiting for the November offers and my birthday offer to buy L’ombre dans l’eau perfume.

That could work in the raunchy episode of RHOBAC 🤣🤣🤣

Heck knows. My inner teenager was delighted with the fenty gloss bomb vault I bought on Tuesday. More than the actual teenager I have who rolled her eyes at me...... think I must have 'un-cooled' them as she didn't even want one for herself.

Nothing like your 50 year old mother getting excited over lip.gloss to make it uncool!

Vinted search is so frustrating though, search for face oil olverum, here's Grumm clarifying facial cleanser bar. Out of first 20 results 3 were Olverum not one face oil.

35th result was Olverum face oil which was my search.

If it was better I'd probably spend more so I consider it a silver lining.

Yeah, I thought it looked about 5ml 😊 but read somewhere that it was a 25ml so I was getting a bit confused. Thank you. Are you keeping the killian? If you are, I think you should open it 😉

Happy birthday @pinkchampagne1. I hope you enjoy your perfumes!

the postman has just delivered my PDM. It was excellent timing as Mr G was in the shower and so didn’t hear the door. It’s currently hidden until he’s out of the way and I can get it out 🤣🤣🤣

Ahh I love this sneaky behaviour 🤣 please share a photo when it's safe to open 😍 I have a feeling that mine will be delivered tomorrow, so the husband will be here to quickly whisk it away before I even get chance to look at the cardboard box 🙁
