🎄 2025 Style and Beauty Advent Calendar Discussion ***SPOILERS*** THREAD 9

[BakeOffRewatch]

New thread! Will this be the last thread? I think it will last two weeks and we’ll finish on a round number 10. Though Black Friday deals may mean we burn through this and 10 onto 11 and 12!

I’ve started getting Black Friday early access emails for 25% etc.

@HollyGolightly4 - Rituals outlets sometimes have good offers on the a/cs, the main shops, not really, ime.

There are various offers around on the Rituals wreath from other suppliers atm.

LF have it reduced and code:40PLUS brings it down to a very reasonable £69.52.

Same code at LF brings the NUXE a/c down to £80.64.

Actually, just had a look and the Fenwick looks really good. But still £250 which, as I’ve already purchased Harvey Nichols and Liberty, I can’t really justify. Do we think it might get reduced? Or that they might introduce a gift with purchase deal to make the price more palatable?

I think the answer is no but has anyone seen any discounts or cash back sites that may work with Vogue.
I quite like the necklace and bracelet in it or is there another jewellery option I should look at, but can’t be above £350.

I'm not sure about actual jewellery ACs as I've not been following those, but the glamour ac has some jewellery in it. I watched miss boux's unboxing of it on YouTube and it's a nice calendar 😊

Sorry can't help but I agree its lovely. Just so expensive

@MrsBnow12 I’ve searched but can’t find one. I like the jewellery, the perfume and some of the other things so I’m checking regularly for a price reduction

I would love the Missoma AC but it's expensive. I think they could be discounted on BF. Probably no more than 20% which would bring them to £396 - a bit above your ceiling @MrsBnow12 but a consideration. I'm going to be paying attention this week.

Not saying they will be discounted but they are forever emailing about them saying last chance yet they're still not sold out. They also keep emailing me about not missing out on BF deals. So something is coming.

Edit to add - the silver one would come in cheaper if that's your preference. I was basing on the gold. Not the solid gold - that one isn't in the running unless they discount it by about £500! 😁

2nd edit - I should probably say discounted by £1000. The solid gold one is over £1300!

Thanks @OvaHere I will have a look at the Missoma one, I mainly wear platinum so silver is possibly better for me and about to look at the Astrid & Miyu one although may watch Vogue and see if it comes down in the next few weeks, although I am sure it didn’t get reduced last year.

I’d love Missoma too! There’s also Ashley Clarke, a bit above budget too at £395 but maybe worth looking at for Black Friday? https://www.astleyclarke.com/astley-clarke-advent-calendar-2025
I also love Liberty jewellery but tha tea £695!!

I honestly think thay solid gold advent calendar is insane. Dh and I were laughing about it earlier today. Surely anyone ready to throw down £1300 on jewellery would want to choose it?

this is the list of jewellery advents I have kept

Some of the jewellery is so beautiful 😍 I might have to save up for one next year.

@BakeOffRewatch I do like the Liberty one and tbh £200 off is not a bad discount but still way too much for a non planned purchase.

I've put together a list of advent calendars that have sold out, the mixed brand calendars still in stock and also the still in stock branded calendars that have been mentioned a lot. I'm sure I've missed some and I thought more had sold out 😱 some of the months of sell out may be wrong as they're just guesses.

There's still a lot left with only 2 weeks to go until 1st December. Fingers crossed for some discounts 🤑

That's an awesome list @JoRaRaRa

I'm still ready and waiting to pounce if Fenwick ever come up with anything decent, and still lusting after Vogue like a few other PP. I reckon any possibility of reductions is going to start happening later this week as 20 / 21 seems now to be when BF properly kicks off.

<prepares to be disappointed>

You Beauty is still available too.

Thanks @JoRaRaRa, this is fab! Not sure whether you want to differentiate but Liberty men also still available.

The Face the Future festive sparkle edit has been discounted to £199.99 using code FESTIVE

Amazing list @JoRaRaRa. Just to add I think Liberty has now sold out. The men’s liberty is still available.

Only If you also spend another additional £100. That’s a poor offer!

Oh also think look fantastic has sold out as well - clearly this weekend was the weekend for it. I was keeping an eye on LF and Liberty so this does mean it’s out my hands now 😆

@Addictedtobeauty @2025istheyeari @dc82 thank you, I've updated the list 😊 unfortunately I can't now edit my post, so I'll wait until there's more edits before reposting. I don't want to clog up the thread🙈

I can't believe I missed You Beauty, I've looked at that one loads, it's on my 'possibly may buy if discounted enough list'.

When did liberty women's sell out? I'm sure it was still showing as available last night 🤔

@JoRaRaRa it was there yesterday morning and gone this morning. Maybe. They’ve taken the last few off line for in store?
