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

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

What a bargain 😍 it's so annoying when things are out of stock and you can't spend spend spend 🤣

You lot are a bad influence 😊 I've just bought a bioeffect serum from a Vinted seller. Not quite a £10 bargain but was £30 for the 15ml so still a huge saving. Hope it lives up to the amazing reviews that are online!

Still waiting ver ver patiently for Fenwick and hopefully beautiful GWP that stacks! and even ignored the lovely Jarrolds Lemon Drop bag (reader, I was so close to buying), however when getting a cleanser from my stash last night I had a reality check moment. I have so much gorgeous beauty stuff I’m drowning in it. A big calendar and other items will mean a big spend (I’ve the money squirrels away just for this, a late birthday gift to myself) and So. Much. Stuff.

Wondering whether to wait to see if Jarrolds do a 12 day again this year as that feels like a nice compromise.

Blame @pinkchampagne1 🤣 getting us all buying this week 🤣 not that we need much convincing 🛍️

@XiCi what do tou recommend for pigmentation ? I also want to try that serum now !

Very frivolous but if anyone wanted the Space NK Jellycat bag charm for their advent they're now back in stock on the SNK website - I just grabbed one 🤦‍♀️

My PDM countdown has arrived. Do not regret getting it at all. The free gift i picked was Valaya body cream 50ml, and 5ml Valaya exclusif. Can match with the one from Harrods AC. For those on the fence, id say do it🙈🤣

@JoRaRaRa You sent me on a fragrance mission…you’re such an enabler!

@XiCi I think you beat me to it with the Bioeffect. I was looking at one around that price this morning but had to go in a meeting and it’s now sold 😅

I actually shouldn’t be buying anything else, I’m 3 BACs in and still keep finding more things

I went straight on to vinted and managed to bag a 15ml for £12.60. Crossing my fingers that it's the real deal... The seller has good reviews

I got mine this morning. It was for a gift, but who knows if I may end up becoming attached 😁

Thanks for the enabling 😂 that’s the gift I have in my basket, just in case. 😁

😂 Sorry for being a bad influence! 😂

The Fenwick calendar is available to purchase now. No gwp yet but you do get triple points if you have joined their loyalty scheme.

Hmm. I've just had a look and I had a feeling there wouldn't be a GWP this year. That's a no from me then. (Unless a GWP magically arrives sometime soon!) Last years GWP really made it worthwhile.

I think the gwp became available a few weeks after the calendar was released both last year and the year before. I remember one of the influencers unboxing the 2024 calendar, saying she wasn’t going to buy it at first but when the gift bag was included she changed her mind and ordered it.

Keep an eye on it for the next few weeks as I think it is a winter gift box they release nearer Christmas. It is a baby event at the moment.

Just checked last year’s unboxing (shortly after gwp became available) and it was October 24th

Hi everyone, long time lurker! Does anyone have any recommendations for men’s boxes? I’ve seen a couple of calendars (look fantastic and liberty) but looking for a box instead. I haven’t seen much online at all!

You Beauty have a nice grooming box @Plan2024

It's a bit thin on the ground for men. There was a good Boots one but I just checked and it sold out in the last few days.

Rituals do quite nice men's sets. I bought my DS one last year.

Oh, I only got the 5ml fragrance, that's annoying that again they're not consistent. I tried the body cream at the weekend and it was so smooth and soft 🥰

Yes I just got the 5ml fragrance which arrived on its own in an enormous box this morning.

@JoRaRaRa Oh thats super annoying!! Should be consistent with it! Oh thats good to hear, cant wait to pair it with the perfume😍

My Brown Thomas one arrived today
It is a thing of beauty 😍

@Giftwithpurchase and @SoloCat i can’t find the jellycat in their website please could you post a link? Thank you!
