🎄 2025 Style and Beauty Advent Calendar Discussion ***SPOILERS*** THREAD 7

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread!

Oh no! I've bought it, my hand slipped 🙈🤣

I sort of regret not buying HN. By the time I'd finished buying the scents I wanted on Vinted really I'd have been better doing it the other way around - buying it and selling what I didn't want.

Looks like Space NK fragrance out of stock already!!
eta- ignore me, that’s incorrect! Told me it was but then let me add to bag! Not that I’m buying, was just interested! Enjoy everyone!

Got it for DD as she tells me the Look Fantastic Fragrance Calendar isn't being re-stocked.

I had a screen say 'it's not available' but then it was, and I've had the order confirmation. So fingers crossed!

Oh I got this as well but I had something in my bag that was out of stock so I assumed it was that. I hope we're not going to have drama with it 🤣 But it's one of the reasons why my hand slipped, when I thought I couldn't have it, I then really wanted it 🤦🏻‍♀️ I do this with clothes too, I make my husband drive miles because I've suddenly decided I want the boots, coat, cardi, sandals, whatever it is, once it's out of stock online and nearby. No wonder he's almost fully grey now 🤣

What does everyone think of the Fragrance Shop's advent calendar?

My hand feels a bit slippy too.

SpaceNK Frag Calendar - it was changing its mind constantly about whether it was available or not ... which also made me decide to go for it. If this is a sales strategy it worked on me. No regrets though, I had £15 of points to deduct and it looks fab.

I bought SNK fragrance as well. Mainly because my £15 ponts expires in December and I am away most of November. There is about 5 or 6 things I am interested in with a few unknowns and a couple of no's which I will.vinted . Overall I am quite excited about it and I will eek it out over 2026 with a perfume a month

I've still had no response from HN as to why they cancelled my fragrance calendar. It's still not out of stock!

I was a bit late to the party due to a busy morning. Just before I came on here I checked SNK and it popped up saying OOS but then let me add to bag and purchase. I am thinking maybe it’s only currently allowing anyone who requested the ‘notify me’ to purchase and so it defaults to OOS until it realises it’s you

My Liberty calendar has arrived today with a slightly dented corner. Disappointed.

I have decided not to go for SNK fragrance or the Notino K-Beauty. I just have too much stuff in my stash and I have one calendar so get me through December. I think I may be jaded.

However, I have just bought the new Dyson Airwrap so I plan on buying some hair products to go with that. Gives me something new to play with😀

And the new Lego modular is out in January so that's me sorted instead of Jadvent.

That’s so disappointing. I don’t know why they don’t package these things better.
I had the same issue with my Harrods BAC, I contacted customer service and they gave me a £20 refund

I've just looked at the content of the Harrods BAC and the retail price of the Valmont L'Elixir Des Glaciers Votre Visage cream that's in there is £678?! 😳 Is that right?! I'm extremely out of touch, but that's the most expensive face cream I have ever come across. What on Earth is in it to justify that price tag?!?

🤔

50ml is £678 yes, lol. You get 15ml in the Harrods BAC. It's advertised as containing Swiss glacier water, but as far as I can see the main ingredients are just water and glycerin.

I went with HN this morning and the order has gone through ?

I’ve already had a small pot a few years ago when I bought the Valmont calendar. I definitely would not pay that amount…it’s a lovely cream, although like a lot of Valmont quite heavily fragranced. I think you would have to try it for a while to know if it was worth it to you…but unfortunately I’m not in that position. I think it’s just a skincare designed for ladies in the Lake Geneva circles 😁

It's like Avant, they can say it's £x price whether anyone will pay that for it or not is a different matter.

Oh god I'm getting flashbacks to last year when they were in and out of stock and kept pushing the delivery dates back. It's a bit of a tradition with SNK ,addy cal season wouldn't be the same without it.

Yes, the packaging seemed pretty crap for something that cost £275.

@Boohoo76 i also complained about my bashed up harrods ac and got a £20 refund so it's definitely worth saying something.

@Sweetpea333 maybe try ordering it again? They might've had a glitch where the system thought it was oos? I don't know, just a guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm looking forward to trying the Valmont cream 😁

@Boohoo76 Liberty CS are normally really good, I’d definitely complain and hope they either send a replacement or give you a significant amount off! Good luck
