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.

I really like it. I picked it up in the sales and would definitely get it again. It's very refreshing and cooling, dries quickly, is hydrating and I think it's smoothed out my under eye area.

Excellent, thank you! I've not bothered with eye creams before, so I'm keen to trial some decent ones via the gift of BAC's Grin

OvaHere · 03/08/2026 18:39

I'm quite interested in Selfridges FAC for my sins. I nearly bought a New Notes scent in Liberty when I was there.

That's just a guess for a guy, he doesn't even claim to have some leads/inside info or leaks. It's as good as asking chatgpt what will be in harvey nicks advent.

OvaHere · 03/08/2026 18:38

The BAC went on sale 1st Sep last year I think.

I feel like quite a few went on sale on sept 1st last year

Isabelle70 · 03/08/2026 18:54

There are a load of HFAC on eBay already £320 and upwards!
I decided I didn’t need one this year but did go and look to see if the app worked, yes it did but I got a blank screen which was fine as I don’t need one.

Sminty2 · 03/08/2026 19:05

BeanNaGealai · 03/08/2026 16:24

Maybe you and I could have a little support sub group? I now have the HFAC and am determined to resist all others.

I'll start - JL is such good value, everyone will have it and you don't want to be one of a crowd and SNK had a good year last year so this year's is bound to be a disappointment.

And @Growlybear83 and I bought the JL BAC this morning.

I also like the look of the Boots Calendars, the Glossy Box and, now dammit, the Elle marvel too.

I am a moth to their flames 🔥

I'm very interested in it too. It's quite exciting having a new one to compare 😍 I did say only 1 fac and only 1 bac this year. I think though we can be forgiven, it is unexpected, we didn't know about it, we've already pre-ordered Harrods, so if it's banging, it's not really our fault if we just HAVE to order it as well 🤣

Addictedtobeauty · 03/08/2026 19:07

Selfridges is definitely sounding banging. And will most likely discount JLFAC for me so I’m already £99 towards it…

ClutteredPalace · 03/08/2026 19:10

I like the sound of the Selfridges FAC, and the JL. I don't really think I can justify both though.

Me too, but just for the record, I was a proper Sloane Ranger clone in the’80s. I looked out from under my blonde, carefully highlighted fringe and wore Quelques Fleur. 😊

I wonder what it would smell like now?

26inprogress · 03/08/2026 19:17

I’m looking forward to the Selfridges BAC reveal, hopefully it’s a good one! Have discounted JL and probably Elle after reviewing the contents today. Harrods still top but I’d love to see CB, Selfridges and poss SNK ideally before committing! Well done to all of you who grabbed Harrods FAC.

JL BAC is available to pre order on my app. Does anyone know when the members pre order will be for the JL FAC ? Thanks !

21st September according to the app.

Really Ree has a reveal tomorrow - hoping it’s Selfridges 😂😂

Ohh, excited to what products these are👀

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 03/08/2026 19:33

CinderellaParker · 03/08/2026 15:56

I’m sure many of you will sympathise with me:

I had the FAC in my basket and was about to check out when guests (visiting antipodean relatives of my in-laws who have been an utter nightmare about arranging this) arrived for lunch. Greeted them, nipped to the loo to finish my purchase and it had sold out!

I may have been a little frostier over lunch than I would otherwise have been….

You’re much nicer than me. They’d have been standing on my doorstep until I’d made my purchase. 😂

Addictedtobeauty · 03/08/2026 19:33

Oh the BAC from Selfridges is sounding very exciting too! I hope we’re not waiting long for the full reveals.

Sounds promising but obviously the devil is in the detail. So depends what products they are.

I think it's too early for Space NK unless they change their usual pattern. If they stick to it we've got a couple of weeks to wait.

TreesinthePark · 03/08/2026 19:51

I'm definitely interested in the Selfridges fragance calendar.
Only issue is knowing how popular it will be, last year I was convinced SNK FAC would sell out on the day but ended up at 25% off after I bought it full price.
I got the HNFAC at 25% off and that even dropped to 30% off. I was not interested in it at full price at all as it had no 30ml/50ml bottles.

pinkchampagne1 · 03/08/2026 19:59

JoRaRaRa · 03/08/2026 17:42

Ooo we always wonder if she's lurking on here and I would say this is proof she is. Those look like my photos, there was another photo on the advert which I didn't include and she hasn't included. And the screenshots I took are much clearer - why do they go so blurry when you put them on here? 🤔

Oh yes, they are your pictures!! You should definitely start your own guide 😃

ClutteredPalace · 03/08/2026 20:05

Honestly, this thread deserves a public service award for all the sleuthing and links as soon as things go on sale that gets shared on here. I'm very grateful for all the information that people provide.

My thoughts too. This one could go either way, but on first look, I'm quite excited. Maybe.

I completely agree with you - thank you to everyone! Mind you, I would be a lot richer if I’d never found this thread 😆😆😆. But I wouldn’t smell as nice 🤣
