Beauty & Fragrance Advent Calendars- Info/Chat 2026 SPOILERS Thread 2

New thread

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. This is not working out so well. 😂

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.

New thread for everyone. Apologies for all the Beauty Detective links in the OP. I'm rushing this in my lunch hour so I haven't got time to go to each separate website. Most are just announced or are waitlisted. It's not a comprehensive list, just the most popular.

Thank you so much @OvaHereyou are a star!

Could not be less interested in the John Lewis calendar, woohoo!

Edit and deleted most of that because it took me too long to put the post together! Thanks you so much for the new thread @OvaHere as it is a big job keeping up and compiling everything.

Thank you Ova.

I'm quite relieved that a new one is set up before the Harrods goes on sale... Phew!!

Thanks. I appreciate the effort. We just need to co-ordinate a bit earlier ahead of thread 3 if someone else wants to set one up. I left it a bit late to ask if anyone wanted to do it.

I'm quite relieved I can strike out JL. I'm not one to deny myself but I am hoping for a leaner year on the buying front.

I notice Boots have announced the Frag advent officially. It will be 12 days and £90. I'm anticipating designer scents and dabbers so hopefully I will not covet that one.

OP posts:
CorneliaStreet · 30/07/2026 13:11

Thanks for the new thread @OvaHere.

I’m marked safe from JL too, doesn’t appeal at all.

Agree that at £90, the Boots fragrance will likely have lots of dabbers of designer fragrances, plus some body sprays (probably SDJ).

Isabelle70 · 30/07/2026 13:25

Thank you for setting up the new thread @ovahere
Dies anyone else heart stop for a beat when an email from Harrods comes through? I don’t want the FAC this year but think of all of you each time an email comes in.

SheilaFentiman · 30/07/2026 13:30

Thank you @OvaHere ❤️

SoloCat · 30/07/2026 13:43

Thank you @OvaHere

Just saw the JL link, I’m also relieved! My concentration was already waning as I got part way through the list. It’s not very good is it, and £250??

hattie43 · 30/07/2026 13:46

Thankyou for starting the new thread .

MrsBnow12 · 30/07/2026 13:51

Thanks @OvaHere sorry crazy work morning so didn’t see the message re a new tgread

Another who can pass on John Lewis and they were one of my favourites last year

openended · 30/07/2026 13:51

Thank you for the new thread.

I think this years John Lewis advent is better curated than last year which had lots of hair oil, lip oil, lip balms and eye creams in it. I think it would make quite a nice gift for someone who hasn't had an advent calendar before.

For myself I think last years design was better and I have tried some of the products already. I'm going to look into the foreo products a bit more but to me it's not the most appealing at first glance.

26inprogress · 30/07/2026 14:07

Thanks @OvaHere, sorry have only just caught up. John Lewis definitely not for me, glad they’ve revealed early as know I don’t want it. Agree with pp, last year and previous years were maybes for me, this one is a definite no!

JoRaRaRa · 30/07/2026 14:08

Ooo the tatcha calendar looks cute again 😍 I have just opened the 2025 one though and sold off half of it, so unless we can get this half price in Jan again, I won't be buying. But I can admire...

LightandBreezy · 30/07/2026 14:10

Thanks for the new thread @OvaHere and apologies I also didn't see the request for someone to start a new thread until it was too late. Catching up from our first thread, I'm not in the slightest bit interested in the JL calendar, so that's another no. Maybe this will be the year I don't get a calendar 😱😂

TheToteBagLady · 30/07/2026 14:43

Thank you @OvaHere

Looking forward to Space NK reveal

Caggie09 · 30/07/2026 14:45

Thanks for new thread. Also a pass on the JL for me too. My Liberty summer scent kit has arrived, but i think ill pop it away and use for DIY ac.

pinkchampagne1 · 30/07/2026 15:26

Thank you for the new thread and sorry I have just got back from the gym so only now seen your request for someone to start a new thread.

user626 · 30/07/2026 15:26

Thanks for the new thread @OvaHere. JL is a definite no for me but I might consider it for DS gf. I bought her ASOS calendar last year which was her first AC so this might be a nice step up. I’ve already preordered liberty for myself but patiently waiting for SNK to reveal.

OvaHere · 30/07/2026 15:27

Guess that explains where all the scents went in the BAC.
