Merry Christmas 🎄 what a fabulous beauty filled year it's been!

Thank you @BakeOffRewatch for all the threads, and thank you to everyone else for such enjoyable discussions over the last five months. I agree that it’s been so nice to have such friendly and good natured discussions on these threads. Happy Christmas to you all, and hope to see you all again next July!

🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE 🎄

Hope you all have a fantastic day, and are cherished by family, friends, pets, neighbours, real life or online. You all deserve it . What a joy to spend the past 6 months or so over analysing BACs with you.

Merry Christmas!! Thank you all for being so welcoming to me over the last 6 months, and to @BakeOffRewatch for these threads. They've honestly been a great lifeline for me when I really needed it 🩷 I've loved discussing bacs with you all. Roll on July 🤭

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄
Thank you so much for these threads. They have really cheered me up each day. ♥️

Happy Christmas BAC lovers and I hope everyone has a merry time just a reminder to those with Look Fantastic we have a 25th day. Very pleased with it!

I would definitely (although mine was a surprise present!) get this one again, I’ve really enjoyed it, and the pleasure of everyone’s company and vicarious thrills.

Merry Christmas to you all and especially to @BakeOffRewatch. What a fabulous job you did over the threads.

I had the Boots Skincare and enjoyed it a lot. It did just what I wanted it to and stock me up on basics that although not overly exciting are what I get through. It had a few lovely Korean products that I am definitely looking forward to using.

Merry Christmas everyone. 😍
First time on mumsnet and have loved the build up to Christmas. A great distraction. Won't be long until July. 🤣
Hope everyone has a lovely day and enjoys their beauty booty! ♥️
Im on a low buy but will still be tempted by a fab sale somewhere. X

Merry Christmas everyone. It's been a pleasure as always.

Merry Christmas everyone! Thanks for the threads and I will be sure to join the new one in 2026! 🥳

Merry Christmas to everyone.
Like a few others have mentioned I love these threads and the little community of BAC lovers where there is no nastiness and everyone is just lovely and shares a mutual love of beauty products and where buying 5 or 10 BAC’s is not frowned upon. It has been a welcome distraction for me and somewhere I can turn to when I need to switch off from ‘real life.’

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Nrw Year and looking forward to July when we start all over again.

Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for all the enabling. So looking forward to using my lovely products.
Special thanks to @BakeOffRewatch 🎄

Harrods hair and body calendar is back in stock if anyone is wanting a 12 day one 😍

I got my lovely Jo Malone calendar for Christmas from DH. I could have opened the whole thing but everything is nicely wrapped in tissue so I am thinking of keeping it for Jadvent 😃

Merry Christmas to you all. Hope you had a lovely time yesterday. Thank you for all your help in targeting & analysing the beauty biz!

Wishing you all the best for 2026. See you next year!!

Hope everyone had a great day. Time to boot out the elderly make up and replace it with lovely new things

I hope everyone had a lovely time yesterday!

Unfortunately, I was struck down with the lurgy so not the Christmas I hoped for, but still a nice day spent with my family.

I want to echo PP regarding the threads, it’s been so enjoyable to follow and everyone is so lovely and helpful 🥰
I’ve spent way too much and got more products than I can possibly use in one year, but it’s been a welcome distraction from a rubbish year and I have found some really nice products along the way

The boots skincare advent calendar is available to buy again at full price though.

Thank you all for the lovely threads. Its always a lovely experience researching, discussing and pondering over adverts with you all.

Has it been 5 months? 🤪🥰🤷 wow

Ive just seen this. I would have got but oos now. Maybe for the best 🤣

yes looking forward to July too, you’ve all been such lovely company! I hope 2026 brings you all lots of happiness 🥰
