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

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

There is 15% Cashback on Sephora today I didn’t look to say if it includes/excludes cal but worth trying anyways I’ve many’s a time got cashback on stuff it says is excluded so I always do it anyways

Sorry I meant to say that’s on Quidco x

Thanks for this. I was going to buy sephora for dd so will buy while the quidco offer is on

You can get 10% so £25 off on the harrods beauty calendar online now. A pp had mentioned there was no other way to get the discount other than going to the h beauty event but you can online now.

I already have Sephora, Spacenk, perfume shop, Lookfantastic fragrance and bought the Hollands and Barrett one for my birthday so have more than enough. Unless of course some others get discounted to the point they are worth splitting for gifts.

That's tempting, thanks for the tip ( my wallet won't be thankful but I will)

Harrods very tempting with 10% off ..

Having had a look at the harrods contents, im saying no, not enough to excite me the ELDO perfume may have swung it but thr scent profile on fragrantica doesn't appeal.

Holding out for Fenwick now.

I should have held out a bit longer for the Harrods calendar. We don’t usually see discounts on advent calendars this early

So annoyed, the holland & Barrett Advent is sold out 😭😭😭 does anyone know if they're likely to restock?

I’d love to try the skincare in Harrods but there’s also a lot I wouldn’t use - not sure …

I know. I thought Harrods would sell out before any discount.

You might find some in stores?

Hi I am just wondering if anyone has tested the latest in beauty style and beauty advent I have a budget of roughly £500 and have decided to get 2 because I have never had any but am struggling to decide what ones to get or what's the best can anyone help me with this

The website says its only temporarily out of stock (although it has been for a while now) but there's also a stock checker to check stores near you and an 'email me when available' option

I’m determined that my Harrods calendar is staying in the shop this year, but they’re not making it easy! It was reduced down to £175 a couple of years ago, but I don’t think it was until November.

If I were to get another spendy calendar, I think I would prefer JL to Harrods, so need to resist temptation!

@BeLimeRaven This year's Lates in Beauty is a collaboration with In Style. They collaborated in the past.
They had a collaboration with Style (Sunday Times beauty section) as well for beauty boxes a couple of years ago and they were really good.
I find In Style not as exciting as Style Sunday Times. However, this year's AC is a very good option if you haven't been hopping from box to box and from AC to AC over the last few years. Good mix of everything and I think it should be reasonably priced around £150. Have a look on instagram for a few 'reveals'.
I thought Face the Future was well put together as well but a bit pricier.

For pure indulgence and zero practical use, but I am entirely biased here, Guerlain is simply beautiful. That's if you really want to use all your £500 and feel truly decadent.

I love trying expensive skincare that I could never justify buying myself, so that’s why I was drawn to the Harrods calendar. I don’t worry too much about not being able to afford to repurchase as the products will probably last me most of the year, then I will be looking at next year’s calendar! 😃 I also keep an eye out on Vinted if I love something.

I am a bit annoyed that the calendar has been discounted. It sold out quickly last year so didn’t want to hang around before ordering it. Last year’s Harrods calendar was better than this year’s though.

I’m so annoyed that Harrods has been reduced. I purchased 2, so that’s £50 I could have saved.
I only started to purchase BACs last year and there were no discounts on any of the main ones I liked, they all sold out very quickly (I purchased what I wanted), so I had no idea this might happen

Oh no! Was just looking at the H & B one thinking I might treat myself. It looks really good.

Have you bought H & B AC before? Is it usually pretty good? Looks like one of the cheaper ones.

How do you get the discount on the Harrods calendar? Is there a code?

I'm in the same camp. Also discovered them last year when stuff seemed to go quickly but I know years prior to that from longstanding buyers that a lot of BACs were reduced.

It's a bit of a gamble because you could wait and miss out. I'm not too mad about Harrods because I bought mine with a CC offer that took £20 off. Although obviously if I'd waited I'd have had £45 off.

I'll probably hold my fire more next year but then watch that be the year that everything sells out quickly. 🤔

I love the Harrods calendar now I've got it, the box and everything about it feels like a proper lux treat so I'm just going to try and be zen about it even if the price drops further. Tbh if it goes down as far as £175 as a PP said it has done before I may buy another one for double the skincare.

It discounts at checkout apparently.

Anyone want Dior for the bargain price of £6,400?

I'm the same, I love having that taste of luxury that I could never afford if harrods didn't do this. A full size night cream would've been nice like the last few years but I still thought it was worth purchasing. The last few years there's not been a rewards weekend until the advent calendar has sold out so I wasn't expecting one this year so bought it as soon as I could afford to.

But it's also why I'm buying what people don't want from their advent calendars as the sizes are so small in harrods, I know it won't last me long.
