🎅 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! 😄)

@Flaneura thank you for the spoilers 😍 I am keeping my eyes peeled for Glossybox, last year it was a great value and these spoilers so far do not disappoint! The blush palette I think is very cute and wearable (can be layered over pink blush) but I agree that Medik8 serum is not too exciting.
I only paid for it £84 last year, I wonder how much it will cost this year 🤞

@Flaneura Welcome 🤗
Yes, if it wasn't for @MrsBnow12 with her quick link drop and go, I think we would have all been scrambling at the last minute for the Harrods FAC on the app, despite us watching it like a hawk all night 🤣 we will all forever be grateful 🩷
I think those spoilers for Glossybox are great, I wonder if it'll keep it's less expensive price point. I've just been onto the cult beauty website and it looks like it's the 'she's the moment' duo which I think came in the mystery bag. This is the promo shots of how it should look on the skin. It's nice, but to me, it's not a winter shade.

Hi @Flaneura thanks for the Glossybox pics. I prefer this PT blush to the one in Cult Beauty but I do already have Soft Launch which is a similar shade. At moment I'm still interested in this BAC as it's a lower price point to the 'big' ones so as long as I like a number of the items it's probably still worth it. I skipped last year but I did get it the year before.

The glossybox looks like it could have another Commodity fragrance like last year. I sold mine for £30 as it wasn't for me. Would def buy if it was Moss. Maybe the other is the Huda primer bronzer which seems to be ubiquitous.

I wondered if it was another Commodity bottle. Juice is another of their popular ones so wouldn't be surprised if it was that one.

These were my guesses as well for the other two products. Anyone contemplating Glossybox it is worth signing up to the waitlist as am sure there was a discount for non subscribers last year - I think I paid £84 which was a great price for the contents I wanted. Am sure j still have the perfume in my stash unopened as we had a load of commodity perfumes in boxes and edits late last year.

Don't like Juice, but you're right that seems a safe bet for them.

@MrsBnow12 Sells well on Vinted if you don't want it. I priced mine cheaper than everyone else was gone in an hour.

Juice was okay, a bit too artificial fruity for my taste. I wouldn't mind trying one of the less viral ones like Paper or Book but agree Juice would be the safer mass appeal choice.

This has just reminded me of the Cult Beauty fragrance stocking which I hope they do again. They didn't sell out quickly though and were heavily discounted for a good while so we'll see.

That was my first thought when I saw the outline of the bottle. I really liked Milk last year. Keeping a close eye on Glossybox as for me, it's usually the biggest no brainer of the lot.

I'm also gutted about the lack of chest style ACs. Although JM is a nice chest this year I really don't think I can justify.

I will be interested to see what price Glossybox goes for . I think the spoilers so far look great . I am hoping it’s Commodity Gold

Glossybox was fav last year. I am probably going to go for that or Lookfantastic- depending on contents. Don't hink i can justify a luxe one when ive ordered the Harrrods FAC. Will definitely get DeGusta for DH
We all loved it last year

I got the mystery bag but looked a different colour at first glance. Imo its a bit naff putting in an advent as well 🤷 clearing out old stock 🤔
Although it will depend on the price x

I'm yet to try a Patrick TA blush and that's one of the shades I'm interested in so Glossybox has gone to the top of my wishlist!

I guess thats what happens when I buy loads 🤣
Very sellable though x

Just seen on GB email that it's now part of HUT group :-(

Have you seen this , first glance of Vogue, it looks stunning, even has a vanity mirror! I think it said there is a longchamp coin purse, sounds amazing! https://www.vogue.co.uk/article/vogue-festive-calendar-2026?fbclid=PAZnRzaATmk4NwZG9mAmZkaWQWUMOAzFgr63L2LfKkxdIATZLp8gnumV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABp8AxtrcHroNRIzI5EkJBANcoZbCuBV4ycvPIeWFyqcd2KUDKka7ap0H02RiEaemqBtqqeDuvSdZx4LNVbZPg

it's very pretty - but lets see the content. The price is high.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but my SNK app now has a countdown to when the AC contents will be revealed…..8days 18hours

I know but it is so pretty😀. Can anyone remember what it cost last year £350ish?

the article says it’s the same price as previous year £355. Anyone had the vogue one before? It is very pretty.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like the necklace must be the mixed metals link chain one as that’s £190 on the website. Also curious about the depuffing wand. Has anyone tried it? Any good?

Oh no I like the look of that. The necklaces in that price look good on the brand site, purse I would sell. The wand I would like too.

i hadn’t realised there was more to the article and it had some contents, thank you!! Like the merit blush and interested in the therabody and jewellery looks good. I had the la mer in liberty a couple of years ago, it’s nice enough and would be happy to use it. The perfume doesn’t sound like my kind of scent , will wait to see what other beauty products are included I think, but overall I am interested so far. Good to have a partial reveal at least, I’m getting impatient.

My initial impression is that Vogue is poor. I'll reserve judgement until full reveal, but the lifestyle items are not for me, the perfume is disappointing, and a Neom candle and CT light wand?! Not luxe.
