Hi friends, welcome to our dedicated Glossybox advent calendar unboxing 2025!!!

Whether you’ve been a subscriber for years or you are brand new to Glossybox join us as we unbox one of the most popular beauty calendars of 2025.

Let’s stick to the usual opening thread ‘rules’ - no reveals until after 7am on the day and plenty of pictures/opinions/first impressions (good and bad!)

I won’t be online until mid morning most days as I have a crazy morning of school runs (and general panic)- so please don’t wait for me - post away & I’ll try to keep up 😂

Hello and thank you so much @Giftwithpurchase I feel much less of a waif and stray now.

BakeOffRewatch · 30/11/2025 21:28

Ooooh I really liked the look of this one. I will be a voyeur here.

SmashingGemini · 30/11/2025 21:40

Thanks, I’ll be joining in, it’s a great calendar although I’ve tried to forget what is in it!

Nowmum43 · 30/11/2025 21:42

I’ll be joining in Smile

Yey hi all - it's so funny I've never had GB on my radar before but something about the AC just resonated this year - no idea what tho as I've completely forgotten everything in it .. so looking forward to it now - decs went up today and I'm feeling Christmassy!

Thanks giftwithpurchase. Good to have a dedicated thread.

Sexentric · 30/11/2025 22:46

Thanks im joining you all too. First and only beauty advent calendar I've ever bought. Am very excited.

KitsyWitsy · 30/11/2025 22:56

Oo. I can’t open mine till I get home on Friday! Will watch this thread instead.

LightandBreezy · 30/11/2025 23:23

I'm another person that didn't previously have Glossybox on my radar but thought this looked great - I didn't actually buy it in the end as I was determined not to buy more than one advent, so will enjoy it vicariously through the thread, thanks!

Nowmum43 · 01/12/2025 07:05

Morning all, I am really happy with today’s item. I have just bought a couple in the Black Friday sale but you can never have too many 😁

SmashingGemini · 01/12/2025 07:38

I’m pleased with today’s, don’t think I’ve tried it before, looking forward to trying it.

NeitherStylishnorBeautiful · 01/12/2025 08:16

A strong start!

Looking forward to the days ahead - I bought this AC back in October after lots of research but have entirely forgotten the contents so every day will be a genuine surprise. Today’s is a big thumbs up.

The whole box is gorgeous too.

XiCi · 01/12/2025 08:59

I'm pleased with today's. I've just tried it and it's lovely.

Giftwithpurchase · 01/12/2025 10:13

So a strong start today! Full size Iconic London Triple Threat mascara in black (I'll try to add a pic) .. now I've never tried this and find all mascaras tend to smudge on me but I have just run out and need a new one so am excited to give it a try - just maybe on a day at home to test the smudge factor 👍

@Nowmum43 you are well set for mascaras now! Have you tried this one before and rated it?

Yes this is my favourite mascara and I have it in black and brown. I have watery eyes and most mascaras shread but this one doesn’t.

panicovernow · 01/12/2025 11:39

This mascara was one of the main reasons I opted for GB. Really pleased that it’s day 1 as it’s the only item I have remembered, the rest will all be a surprise

Giftwithpurchase · 01/12/2025 13:37

Oh sounds great @Nowmum43 keen to try it now - I have vague memories of a mascara but yep everyday is going to be a surprise! 😂

Iconic Triple Threat mascara in black. This will be used but I prefer brown now that I’m an old bat! Nice first day though.

Joining in … although I’m a veteran of the M&S BAC this is the first time I’ve ventured into something a little more fancy. Also have no memory of what is in it, or what made me want to buy it really 😂

pleased with day one as current mascara running out, good to see that those more knowledgable than me recommend if!

Sexentric · 01/12/2025 18:39

Yes. Great start. I dont currently have a black mascara (been using the Max Factor green one which is lovely btw) so this will get used 😁

moogdroog · 01/12/2025 21:59

I'm going to read along as I bought DD the Glossybox one and I'm hoping to do some swaps if there's anything she doesn't like.
She's pleased with today's. Got to say, of all the calendars lined up in this house, the Glossybox one is the prettiest.

Giftwithpurchase · 02/12/2025 09:21

Day 2 - Sweed satin kohl eyeliner in dusty brown (hooray!) .. really pleased with this 😊
