Beauty & Fragrance Advent Calendars- Info/Chat 2026 SPOILERS

1000 replies

OvaHere · 01/07/2026 13:09

Hi everyone who is joining from the Beauty GWP chat threads and welcome to anyone else.

Last year our lovely @BakeOffRewatch did an amazing job running all the threads through to December. This year due to the time commitment it takes, we're going to try and run them as a community effort.

Guidelines
I'm starting this first one but hoping that when a thread looks close to ending another thread member can set the next one up.

To avoid duplicate threads please try to post in the thread that's ending to alert everyone you're setting up a new one.

Other members check who was first to offer and whether a new one is live.

It might be an idea to keep a list of advents that are live in the OP and later on which are sold out. This can be copy/pasted/edited when a new thread is started.

It probably goes without saying but please be courteous and patient with each other. This thread will have spoilers and please no judging of others for their purchasing choices. Participation in the threads is optional.

I don't know how well this will work out but thanks in advance to everyone who helps out.

@Beautyfox I only use bioeffect on a Sunday night to reset my skin. It's great for sunburn or any irritations too or if you've upset your skin barrier.

I see that beauty detective also has no idea what the copper tube is either 🤷🏻‍♀️

JoRaRaRa · 15/07/2026 16:31

Is anyone else now watching the Harrods app like an hawk? 👀🤣

CorneliaStreet · 15/07/2026 16:36

I’ve got a sample of Jeroboam Gozo and just had a sniff. Very patchouli heavy, (made me think of those witchy gift shops where they’re burning joss sticks), with some white florals thrown in.

JoRaRaRa · 15/07/2026 16:52

I've just rewatched the video, it is the Delina exclusif in the photo. Would've preferred athenais or Meliora though.

Just a waiting game now; they've given us the spoilers. At least give a date too! I'm too impatient😁🙈

BeautyMoth · 15/07/2026 17:03

Thanks for sharing the Harrods update. BD has listed the contents too beauty-detective.com/harrods-beauty-advent-calendar-2026/

TreesinthePark · 15/07/2026 17:21

I'm excited for the Harrods FAC, already knew Id be getting it but seeing the list has me even more ready! I absolutely love Brompton Immortals, if I was someone who stuck to 2 or 3 bottles max then this would be one of them. I was prepared to replace it at full price when the time came too so this is great news for me. Not sure how thrilled I'd be with a 2025 repeat otherwise though!

Guidance, love this and have the 2024 dabber but do really want a spray. Delina is so common now...luxury CK1 of its day but still a lovely scent all the same.

The rest are new to me and I'll try to resist smelling them before I hopefully get my advent.

JoRaRaRa · 15/07/2026 17:23

No la mer in the Harrods bac, unless the copper tube thing is la mer?

PeachIcedTeaQueen · 15/07/2026 17:40

MrsBnow12 · 15/07/2026 12:54

OOH amazing! How did you find that!?

Isabelle70 · 15/07/2026 18:15

Harrods are saying sign up to rewards and the app to find out when it all drops.
I will keep telling myself I don’t need to sign up….
I purchased a big bottle of Guidance last year after it being in 24 and only half way through…. And still have about 5 from last year to try/use!

SummerLimes · 15/07/2026 18:16

I don’t have the app - panic !!

pinkchampagne1 · 15/07/2026 18:46

How exciting. I look on here after work and the Harrods calendars have been revealed! 😃
I am loving the look of the fragrance and the beauty calendars. I have already told DH that I would like the beauty advent for my birthday in October. I love the EGF serum so happy that is in there and want to try the AB eye cream. Other bits in there that also look good.

I don't feel like I can make any vaguely sensible decisions until I've seen SNK and maybe Cult Beauty.

I bought Harrods BAC quite late on last year when they did a small discount on it. I did end up really enjoying it.

I'm torn about Liberty - I like it more than last year but probably wouldn't buy it at full cost. As I have vouchers and the BD discount I wouldn't be paying a lot of 'real' money for it.

I would like to buy less this year but the struggle is real. 😳

The struggle is real 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Addictedtobeauty · 15/07/2026 19:19

I was planning to be so sensible this year…

I’ve bought Liberty, want Jo Malone and now want ALL the Harrods having seen the contents. And the reveals have only just begun. Little hope for me now. Say prayers.

@JoRaRaRa You know the CT lipstick will be one of the Pillow Talks. 😂

Thers a vid on youtube from harrods and harrods beayty buyers go through a few things. The ct lip isssss, drumroll, Pillow Talk 🤣
Updated to say.
@MrsBnow12 put it on earlier. Page 15. X

Kokis · 15/07/2026 19:21

I like the look of the Liberty ac. I like fragrance, don't like hair stuff (it's nice and light on this) and some decent skincare to try.

I definitely go on to buy expensive stuff from a trial size: I think the Sisley Velvet Sleep Mask is wonderful and never would have dreamed of buying it at full price had I not tried it in a BD box.

I've got about £200 in Liberty loyalty vouchers already so I can see what I'll probably do with them Grin

Last year Harrods didn’t do a full reveal of the BAC until it was released. I think we had a few spoilers of both the BAC and the FAC around now but not a full reveal. I am liking the look of both of them. Not looked at the hair one as have enough hair products.

OvaHere · 15/07/2026 20:12

JoRaRaRa · 15/07/2026 17:23

No la mer in the Harrods bac, unless the copper tube thing is la mer?

I think the copper tube thing in the centre could be Lyma Power Youth Cream but in a special advent made size. Might be wrong, this is based on trying to figure out the blurred wording and the full size comes in a (fancier) copper tube.

26inprogress · 15/07/2026 20:26

Putting all of the contents into Chat Gpt ( who obv knows all about my skin, stash etc!!) it rates Harrods v highly for my skin. I’m now in a predicament, I have the money saved in beauty drop to pay for liberty outright! I do prefer the fact Harrods more skincare and less perfume heavy than Liberty. There are a few things I really fancy trying and a few things I’d sell. I’m going to ponder!

eta thank you for posting the video and BD news!

OvaHere · 15/07/2026 20:35

@26inprogress I'm def torn between Liberty and Harrods for similar reasons. I feel like a spreadsheet is needed. 😂

Liking the look of Harrods beauty and the hair/ body, will be interesting to see prices, what are people's guesses?

Oh I hope so. That sounds great 😍😍

I think they may try to keep them the same as last year. Looking back at the Beauty Detective site last year's fragrance advent had 5 x 50ml, this year there looks to be 2 x 50ml. There is more 30ml scents this time though.

Edit - sorry saw you were asking about beauty and hair. I think they all could be the same price.
