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

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.

Cult Beauty also appears to be back in stock, BDCB is taking the price down to £192

JoRaRaRa · 21/11/2025 13:33

They must be all finding them at the back of the warehouse 🤔🤣

Pulled myself back from the brink by comparing to the CEW Awards edit which is miles better imo - if I really get the urge I'd rather buy another of those... 😅

*marked safe from Beauty Advent restocks (so far)

I had a moment when I read @MrsBnow12 post. This is despite having decided quite sometime ago CB advent wasn't for me and having bought the 3 things I wanted from it on Vinted. 😂

I compared to the CEW and for me the CB advent had more things in it, I had originally discounted it at full price.

I'm starting to get some buyer's remorse for the things I've bought - signed up to the Liberty beauty drop and bought the Glam Kit but now I think I'm going to return it as I can't remember what attracted me 🤔

...then maybe I can buy the reduced ASOS edits instead 😅

LetitSnowball · 21/11/2025 14:58

CB not showing as in stock for me.

All these restocks will be pissing on the chips of those who bought lots of ACs to resell at higher prices. 🤭

I picked up a hair edit earlier with 25% off, it contained a product I’ve run out of that alone would have been more than the edit so it was a no brainer. Hoping this will keep me away from the more expensive temptations.

Mejera · 21/11/2025 15:28

Flannels Beauty Christmas Cracker now has 20% off, so £132 instead of £165.
https://www.flannels.com/flannels-beauty-flannels-beauty-christmas-cracker-worth-551-753664#colcode=7536649

Also £100 voucher if you spend over £500.

MathsFiend · 21/11/2025 16:03

I ended up buying the M&S calendar as a present for my mum, with the 25% off. It just arrived today and I'm surprised at how small the box is. I hadn't seen it in store, so was expecting something a lot bigger- it's minu compared to my Space NK calendar.

shinny · 21/11/2025 16:29

DH couldn’t believe that M&S could fit all the stuff inside the box when he saw it laid out in store! What a job that would be - designing the packaging and then slotting all the goodies in!

SpinningaCompass · 21/11/2025 16:37

Space NK BAC is available via the app. If I hadn't finally caved on the JL calendar, I'd be ordering it 🤔

TragicMuse · 21/11/2025 16:57

I’m wavering on Jarrolds 12 days. Must hold firm, I cannot afford it!

Tirednamechange · 21/11/2025 17:52

Harvey nicks fragrance calender has arrived. I need a minute to check it and make sure its all OK but have stashed it away as I don't want my husband to know I bought it!

JoRaRaRa · 21/11/2025 18:25

There's last year's 12 day Radley Jewellery advent calendar on HoF for £90. It's cute 🩷🐶

Oh it's also on studio and you can go through TCB 😊

Oh RHOBAC’s, I need help. I’ve started looking at Vogue. I mean , why now? It didn’t interest me for MONTHS. And now, I wonder if life will be complete if I don’t get it. What is wrong with me? 😂

FOMO? They'll all be gone soon enough (probably).

I am the same, one half of me wishes it would sell out and the other half can’t quite checkout.
I have it in my basket and the draw is the beauty items, the jewellery and beanie are things I would buy for myself.

Addictedtobeauty · 21/11/2025 20:21

Definitely FOMO @OvaHere . I like the eye mask, the jewellery and the beanie and pretty much all of the products would get used bar that ostentatious bag charm . I just can’t quite bring myself to pay.

QueefofSheena · 21/11/2025 20:27

I am watching Vogue too. I haven’t put in on my bag but I obsessively check the price every day. I thought an unboxing I watched had cured me, but no

@MrsBnow12 From my playing, it allows me to add 50 to my basket but no more. Is that an accurate stock level? Who knows.
@QueefofSheena it did not reduce last year and was still available well into December (like nearer Christmas than the beginning). I don’t think they will discount. TCB have a measly 1.05% cashback. I can’t see any other way to get money off.

As your name suggests.
Im in my bedroom surrounded by products etc. Advents.
Next year strict no buy. Shop my stash 🤔🙄🤣
