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

[OvaHere]

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 thought that too, but i live in wild delusion 🥰 it's normally the 19th/20th August

I like the look of that. I've had H&B before and really enjoyed it. I quite like more natural products so it's a good fit. And great value.

Just had an email from Elemis to say their wait list is open - nothing more than that as yet

That’s a good value calendar from H & B

This 🤣
Im just finishing page 10. 🤣♥️
I hope you all git it if wanting it x

@JoRaRaRa - does EGF eye serum come sealed? I can't pay RRP, even in sales, but there might be some on Vinted. Unfortunately I had a very bad experience with MZ eye cream on Vinted twice, so don't want to take a risk if there is no way to be sure it wasn't tampered with.

Here’s some more information.

Just a shout out to @MrsBnow12 who flagged up the advent had been released this morning . Thank you so much , I am delighted to get my hands on one again this year I really appreciated your link.

@Sminty2 - thank you but that’s the review of last years calendar

No, I don't think so, but I can't really remember.

I’ve just got from back from work and guessed that Harrods FAC was on pre order from it suddenly being on page 24! Glad so many of you managed to get one

@Beautyfox Did the Diptyque outlet have much in? I’m due a Bicester Village trip

My bad. Sorry.

Absolutely. Thank you @MrsBnow12

And another thanks from me. Fortunately I had finished hanging off a zip wire when it was released, but the app completely refused to play ball, so very grateful for the Iink.

I may go for another depending on the contents, but Harrods will be my main one and I'm relieved I got it!

It’s in the little shed in the centre of the shopping street so quite small but very similar to how it was before. It looked very well
put together and very tidy compared to before like maybe they are planning on hanging around rather than a temporary stay. I didn’t have a proper look because there were 3 staff in the tiny shed and I had loads of bags so just popped my head in because I’m not quite sure I could fit in and by that point I was spent out. I noticed the hand wash was exactly the same price as the normal price and they didn’t have any advents which were the 2 things I was looking out for. Sorry not much help I really didn’t pay much attention and I need to go back and have a look without the whole family in toe.

Diptyque discounts tend to be pretty dreadful. There’s some on TK Maxx at the moment (fragrances, which I’ve not seen before) but they’re hardly reduced! The official website GWPs are often a really good way of clawing back money though.

Lovely thanks, I hope it’s staying for a while and good to know it’s more organised. Last time I went there it was like a jumble sale, I still managed to get Christmas candles and one of the spinning lanterns, plus they were very generous with samples. Maybe I’ll leave it a month and hope they have calendars and other Xmas bits in. I’d love a Diptyque calendar, but can never quite justify it full price!

Well done to everyone who got the Harrods FAC. I was in the middle of nowhere with no signal at the crucial moment so missed out...again. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

2 hours trying to get the app and the website working on my phone, iPad and pc all at the same time 😂🤣 like a madwoman!’ Worked out finally that I had to order them separately’ it kept telling me it couldn’t post to my country - the uk - before that and then kept putting ip an address I haven’t lived at in 10 years and deleted 10 years ago!
FINALLY managed to get the orders in one at a time by doing it on the website and using the links I was emailed

Hi everyone! I’m Mary "BD" 😁 I finally signed up so I could say a huge thank you to @JoRaRaRa for sharing the update about the ELLE Advent Calendar.

I check hundreds of websites every day and Mumsnet has been bookmarked for ages. You have such a lovely, refreshingly non-toxic community here, which feels quite rare these days, and it’s always a pleasure to read your discussions.

It was also quite funny watching everyone try to work out whether one of the posters was me, so I thought it was finally time to pop in and say hello!

A massive thank you to everyone who visits my blog, shares links to my posts and uses or passes on my promo codes. I really appreciate all your support! xxx

Oooh, how exciting to see you @MaryBD i love your site and always read your reviews of products.

Thank you @MaryBD we are big fans of your site too. I spend more time there than I should admit to.

See @JoRaRaRa I told you I am not the Beauty Detective. She's a whole other person. 😄

Or could it be a cunning double bluff @OvaHere ?😂

True. It could. I'm definitely not though. 😂

Thank you so much! It’s such a pleasure to hear! 🤗
