Welcome to Thread 3! 🥳

Firstly, a huge thank you to @ovahere for getting us started and looking after the first two threads. It's been lovely seeing everyone sharing news, spoilers and enabling each other already! ❤️

As agreed, we're taking it in turns to start each new thread this year. If this thread starts getting close to the reply limit, please post to let everyone know you're happy to start the next one so we can avoid duplicate threads.

A few festive housekeeping notes;
🎁 This thread contains spoilers.
🎄 Please be kind and respectful to one another.
💸 No judging anyone for their purchasing choices (or how many calendars they buy, we're all enablers here! 😂).
🎀 Feel free to share spoilers, offers, discount codes, GWPs, delivery updates and stock alerts.

✨ We're only on thread 3 and some members already have three advent calendars on the way 🎅 I think it's safe to say advent season is officially underway! 🎄

💄 More Calendars & Spoilers

Rather than making the opening post a mile long, our friend Mary has a brilliant roundup of lots more advent calendars and the latest spoilers, including Charlotte Tilbury, Jo Malone, Elemis, Lancôme, Tatcha, NEOM, Neal's Yard Remedies, Holland & Barrett, YesStyle and many more as they're announced.

👉 https://beauty-detective.com/category/beauty-advent-calendars/ 👈

🎅 Happy advent season everyone! 🎁

Here's hoping for lots more spoilers, bargains, discount codes, and maybe a little self-control (although judging by threads 1 and 2, that seems unlikely! 😄)

Thank you @JoRaRaRa checking in and looking forward to more reveals. 😍

Puravida23 · 06/08/2026 19:11

Thanks @JoRaRaRa for the new thread. Let’s see if we can all manifest a Selfridges advent reveal tomorrow

RainbowZebraWarrior · 06/08/2026 19:15

Thanks @JoRaRaRa and checking in.

Hoping for something that really grabs me. Next was a lovely one last year that I let slip through my hands, so I will be looking out for that.

26inprogress · 06/08/2026 19:17

Thanks so much @JoRaRaRa🤶

I forgot that Next usually do a couple. We should have an avalanche of BACs coming over the next month.

SheilaFentiman · 06/08/2026 19:21

Loving your Christmassy work @JoRaRaRa and thanks for getting us here @OvaHere

CorneliaStreet · 06/08/2026 19:23

Thanks @JoRaRaRa.

Every year I rule out the CB calendar because the make up colours won’t suit me and looks like this year will be the same.

I’m more into skincare and fragrance anyway, so anyone leading their spoilers with lots of make up puts me off rather than tempting me.

ElizabethG81 · 06/08/2026 19:26

Thanks for the new thread @JoRaRaRa, and I know you’ll be able to work some of these out. I’m seeing a SDJ spray? Could have guessed that anyway 😂

🎄✨ Beauty & Fragrance Advent Calendars – Info/Chat 2026 SPOILERS 🎁 Thread 3 ✨🎄
JoRaRaRa · 06/08/2026 19:28

@ElizabethG81 that's what I thought too. The others seem a bit too general and could be anything 🤷🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
ElizabethG81 · 06/08/2026 19:32

I thought the tube at the top could possibly be Medik8 eye cream but I’m probably only thinking that because it’s silver.

ClutteredPalace · 06/08/2026 19:35

Thanks for the new thread @JoRaRaRa, looking forward to some more reveals and lots of discussion. I wonder if Glamour will do another advent this year? I know it didn't get much love here last year but I really enjoyed that one and I'm still using a lot of it. The Vieve muse pallete was gorgeous.

MaryBD · 06/08/2026 19:38

Thanks @JoRaRaRa for mentioning me again! ♥️ I’ll also leave a link to my mile-long post with all the advent calendars here: beauty-detective.com/beauty-advent-calendars-2026. It does get a bit slow to load towards the end of the season! 😅

OvaHere · 06/08/2026 19:40

I'm interested to see what Glossybox comes up with this year. It was a pretty good offering last year for the price point. I didn't buy it in the end but came close.

They've revamped the box this year from the usual chest style box - those appear to have fallen out of fashion with most brands now.

Video here with the box but no content reveals.

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

Thank you @JoRaRaRa for the new thread. It’s as lovely as a Style & Gerrish Christmas grotto. 🎄🎁💄💋
Thank you also for @OvaHere for inspiring us all to explore beauty in all its guises.

I loved the chest style box last year and it's still going strong here. It makes me feel like all of the others are the same. Even F&M feels disappointing this year to me. Pretty, but not different enough.

Last year's Rituals wreath was nice, but not a patch on the 'Village' style the year before. I'd like to see a real retro style one reminiscent of 1970's old advent calendars - glitter included - (never going to happen as they are all trying to go for recycling options now and rightly so) Also, so far, I haven't been impressed with the candle offerings which are a big draw for me. Hopefully some good ones still to be revealed as it's early days.

<getting harder to please every year>

Caggie09 · 06/08/2026 20:02

Thanks for new thread. Signed up to LF waitlist. CB doesnt interest me from what ive seen so far.

pinkchampagne1 · 06/08/2026 20:17

Thanks for the new thread @JoRaRaRa 😃 I am excited for more reveals

Thelifeofawife · 06/08/2026 20:18

Thank you @JoRaRaRa for the new thread 💐 Also thanks for the details of the Debenhams & LF calendars on the last thread. I’m really interested to see what’s in the Debenhams one, as their recent edits have been really good for me.
Also for the LF, I’m thinking the bottom left pic is a Colour Wow spray (though my detective skills aren’t the best)

And thank you @OvaHere for your continued contributions 💐

Peachbubble · 06/08/2026 20:18

Thank you @JoRaRaRa for the new thread!

For those that love K Beauty (me!), Pure Seoul are launching the first ever UK K Beauty advent calendar. No details yet, apart from it'll be worth over £500 in value, have 24 days of full size gifts, including 12 new product launches.

I'm sure @MaryBD will be on the case to find out more!

SheilaFentiman · 06/08/2026 20:26

How exciting @Peachbubble !!

Giftwithpurchase · 06/08/2026 20:38

Thanks for the new thread @JoRaRaRa.. anyone else a bit creeped out by the red gloved hand on the LF pic? Just me .. too many true crime progs recently

TreesinthePark · 06/08/2026 20:54

Thanks @JoRaRaRa for the new thread and also to @OvaHere for coordinating. Checking in and really looking forward to the Selfridges fragrance reveal as a new addition for 2026.

Spotted on Mary’s insta that Arran have one, I do like their hotel minis so I will check that out.

For reveal cravers - full contents if you scroll down!

I've liked this brand since I discovered them in Fenwick about 30 years ago (I think they were Arran Apothecary then) but it doesn't represent enough of a saving for me. Sad, but true.
