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

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

Yes me too. I should probably repurchase rather than possibly disappointed by the Bramley Pillow Spray in the F&M BAC

I bought Lumene in a discount last year as a Jadvent after really wanting it the year before! I’ve really enjoyed it. Lots of moisturiser 15ml which I really liked.

Harrods beauty calendar has also sold out now. I thought it might sell out quickly due to the discount.

I also think Sephora is sold out, as at showing out
of stock.

Says it is coming back 31st Oct.

There is 20% off the L’occitane calendar in BrandAlley today bringing it down to £116 Inc delivery.

I also ordered mine last Thursday, and it said to allow 4 weeks for delivery.

I have the next day delivery pass so should have been next day delivery, I ordered some bits on Friday with the 20% code and they came on Saturday.

Interesting, I’ve not used mine at all but now you and @BakeOffRewatch have both mentioned it, I’m going to dig it out and try! Thanks!

Hello everyone, bit late to the party but catching up. Interesting to see the first few possibly sell out....

I don't think Harrods will come back but SNK and Sephora I think will be restocked later in October.

Now others aren't available for the moment Liberty might start to sell in bigger numbers. Also Cult Beauty so I guess anyone thinking about them might want to make a move as it's payday for a lot of people in the next few days.

Like me @OvaHere . I just want a really nice autumn winter edit based around bath, body and sleep. Not in the mood at the moment for buying an AC to stash away for December.

Dithered over Harrods’, don’t feel too desolate it’s sold out (!) so holding out for the edits too now.

By weird co-incidence I tried my OTO sleep spray last night for first time. Slept well, I slept very badly last week, then slept all weekend so that's an endorsement though not one to base a purchase on. I'm also taking Applied nutrition sleep capsules at the moment and I'm very impressed with them. Definitely an impact but not the impact of over the counter nytol which I used occassionally and have stopped but they help. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DRW22Q7V?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Same here @BakeOffRewatch I went and had a look at F&M off the back of a desire for nice candles and bath oils t but still doesn't appeal. It's the days shortening and also the lack of nice candles and bath oils this year in advents creating this demand I think
Glad Harrods has sold out as I almost bought it yesterday and I know I don't need it or possibly even want it I just love a potential bargain🥴
It's a big week this week with lots of releases who is buying what?. I think I will have another look at HN fragrance but not sure I need it.
I have lots of points for OK beauty so I might see if I can use them against the advent and if it brings it down to a decent price I may buy but only need a few things from it so would probably have to vinted a bit and not sure if I have the energy.
Still kicking Elle advent around in my mind but other than that I think I am done

@Puravida23 i used the Olverum bath oil for the first time, DH said it smelled like burned sausages and stunk the whole house out 🤔. I really liked the Bamford Bath rose oil a couple of years ago. The annoying thing is that the F&M BAC bath oil is a Revive morning one. I think these essential oil type stuff might be too green and strong for me.

@Puravida23

I really should call it a day now but I'm allowing myself to consider SNK fragrance AC, only if it's a good one and doesn't have a lot of dupes of scents/scent profiles I have.

Also allowing myself to consider Fenwick if it stacks with an autumn gwp and I didn't buy SNK fragrance.

If by some miracle I get to November and haven't bought either of the above (or anything else) I may consider the PDM calendar that's stalking me if still available.

Penhaligons. A stonking £425 although two 30ml bottles in it this year. One is one of my favourites so will be stalking Vinted.

I think I will also consider SNK fragrance it would be nice to have the matching box😂. But I rejected last year's as didn't appeal so worried it may be similar. I keep having to remind myself that last year we had some great Xmas boxes so hopefully we will start hearing about these soon
I agree about the AA Revive bath oil I need to relax not be more alert @BakeOffRewatch

Memo After Advent calendar
https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/p/memo-paris-fragrance-after-advent-calendar-000000000007881924

Very low effort for £270
5x 5ml
1x 30ml
1 small candle

30 ml of their perfume is £120 so how do they get £150 value (as a minimum) from 5 x 5ml and 1 tiny candle? Am I missing something here?

Harrods have done well this year. All 3 sold out before October.

Space NK might come back, but it seems as though they’ve rushed to advertise the fragrance calendar as an alternative for disappointed customers who ‘missed out’ on the beauty calendar, hoping that they may buy that instead (not that a fragrance calendar is really a good substitute if you’re looking for a beauty calendar!)

Sephora still shows as available on preorder for me. Not sure whether or not they ever intend to take it off ‘preorder’! I think it could be the next one to go though if people are looking for an alternative to snk

Curious what new brands will be in SNKF, any theories? Kilian is in a couple of BACs this year and I see they stock them. Hope they’re not as they have me in such a chokehold currently and would make me want to purchase alone 😅

Even just for a 7.5ml by the way, this is how bad the hold is!
