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

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

@OvaHere yes, I can't wait until the next one. It was so good! I can see why they do it though, some people were buying hundreds and people were buying drinks to go into the masterclasses with. I bet the tills never stopped.

@pinkchampagne1 it's not near us unfortunately, it's 2 hours away 😔 which is why it's my first event. I did take my mum there last year for her birthday, there was a little elemis pop up there but nothing like today. It's a bit of a trek, I wish we had one closer. Or a sephora, I'd be happy with one of those too 🤣 we do have a space nk, but it's teeny tiny 😕

It sounds amazing @JoRaRaRa and I’m also jealous of those who live near an HBeauty! Although I think there’s one soon to open approx an hour away from me so fingers crossed for next year.

I was surprised how good it was and would buy the Luxe ticket next time.

I think you might have been 3-4 in front of me in the freebies queue.

Where did you see this? I love unboxing videos, I don't plan to buy the vault but would love to see the unboxing.

Also, you must all ensure I don't get fomo and buy the HN fragrance ac when I don't like the majority of the fragrances 🤣

I kept wondering if there were any other fellow RHOBAC members there 😍 we should've had a cocktail together 🥂🍾🎊 I'm not loud, but I think how bossy I am with my husband gets me noticed 🤣 oops! He's gone to bed now, I think it's worn him out 🤣

Also, I hope you had a fab day too 😍

I was in front of a woman with a little girl in the freebies queue and behind two pushchairs in the till queue. It would have been nice to meet someone IRL. Perhaps next time.

The advent calendars looked gorgeous 😍

Diary of a Beauty Geek has an unboxing.

I think we should organised a RHOBAC excursion to a HBrauty event, it sounds like you had a fabulous time and got some grea goodies.

Diary of a beauty geek has the unboxing of the beauty vault. It does look good but I am resisting the urge to buy anything else!

This is really quite decent for the money. I've snapped one up!

They really did, it's nice seeing all the products on display.

A member of staff was telling me that the day the fragrance calendar went on sale, people were queuing from 6am 😳 and they sold out within 30 mins.

@MrsBnow12 @pinkchampagne1 thanks both, I'll definitely give it watch tomorrow 😍

I've also had more beauty products arrive from vinted today, 🙈 it's actually got so bad that I can't remember what I've ordered anymore 😬

Ohh, what have you ordered from Vinted? I picked up my Drunk Elephant vitamin C serum and a Charlotte Tilbury lip bath today. Must try to stop now! 😆

@JoRaRaRa @pinkchampagne1 I've managed to get the mascara from the JL BAC so hopefully I can stop idly entertaining the idea of the advent.

The men's grooming box (linked on the same page) isn't bad either.

I don't want anything from this calendar other than the Tatcha lip product which would be nice but I do still think it's a good one for the price. The box is really pretty too.

I bought some hourglass brushes, a evidens special brush to go with the special mask from the Harrods calendar, the K18 volume spray, Medik8 crystal retinal eye cream - both of these from the sephora advent calendar, the Medik8 night cream from the JL calendar, and I've bought a bundle of minis which has a mini Medik8 cleanser, mini sdj pink body wash and mini Dr barbara sturm glow drops, I'm suspecting that those are from a gwp, but I only paid £7 for them so I'm not complaining. Don't blame me if you get more purchase ideas 😇 I think I may need to go to shopaholics anonymous.

Oh and also a dior powder blush in berry 😳

I went shopping near me yesterday and had to check if I had ordered anything from boots that I needed to pick up, I did, only some boring hairspray 🤣

Actually it might have been HN it was in. They're all blurring into one now. 😂

Oooo 😍 well done! That's an expensive mascara and not many have been listed (I've been looking 😉), whenever I've seen them go up, they've sold almost immediately. Are you putting it away for Christmas or using it straight away?

Me too. I hate the way she unboxes beauty calendars for adults as though she’s making a children’s programme for 3 year olds. It’s just so patronising. I don’t know who her videos are supposed to be aimed at.

@JoRaRaRa so pleased you had a fab day. love your purchase. I’d be really tempted if I saw the Harrods in store.

The samples looks pretty good. Did you have a deluxe ticket?

They really are, and I'm actually dreaming of them now. I dreamt that I had a gold one with woodland creatures embossed on it in a snow like scene, and it had some lovely stuff in it including the rich cream. I actually thought I'd really seen it and looked for days for it 🤣 I'm sad it doesn't exist 🤣

I might put it in my mash up SNK if there's room. I've got about 5 mascaras open as it is. I can't open another even though I really want to try it. Mascara is one of those products where I'm constantly searching for 'the one'. I think the reality is that I have short, straight lashes and even the best mascara can't work miracles. I keep trying though.

There's some really nice stuff in there and the box is beautiful too 😍

I had a luxe ticket and my husband had a free pass. Everyone was so lovely, it was so much fun, I'd definitely do it again 😍

It’s so lovely to see your positive review. 😊
