🎅 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! 😄)

I reckon it will come in at about £99 this year. Last year's was such a bargain but surely they can't do it again at that price.

Vogue looks nice, although I got overly excited about the stack of suitcases arrangement and thought Wow!! then realised it was just the box at the top. It was my biggest regret not getting it last year, but dont think it's for me this year. Don't like burberry perfume, don't need a purse, not keen on the necklace.

Indeed. Bloody CT light wands are everywhere. In fact there was one free with Vogue magazine last November / December time. I think it really cheapens a brand when it's everywhere. I am not a massive fan of CT anyway. And yep, Neom is mid range. In a £300 + AC I want Diptyque or Trudon.

Agree on CT, and Neom to be fair. The more I think about it the more I think I may have just got excited about the box ( ex airline employee and travel enthusiast here)…

Thank you everyone for your thoughts on the Vogue calendar. I got stupidly excited about the reveals but your sensible comments have calmed me down. You are so right about the CT and Neom not being high end and I have jewellery thats nicer than the one in the calendar. Maybe the rest of the contents will make it worth getting for the wand. I want to believe it will de puff my eyes but not enough to spend real money on it.

I’m liking the glossybox spoilers so far. I bought it last year for DDs but swapped the commodity milk for a kayali perfume from my Sephora AC. I think someone on here shared a 10% discount code. I also prefer the PT blush in the apricot shade to the one in CB. Might need to be another sneaky swap!

Full list of Vogue on BD Vogue Advent Calendar 2026 – Available now – Beauty Detective

It's not exciting me. Another off the list!

Not for me either although I might try and pick up the LE cream eye shadow on Vinted. I have the Merit Flush Balm already and love it but I need to reapply it at least once during the day as it lacks staying power.

Thanks. I really like this. My DD would love the bracelet and necklace which are possibly the only high value thing that I wouldn’t use. They are recycled silver. I would never buy the thermabody device but I would love to give it a go and hope for miracle. I am very tempted. Someone earlier mentioned a 10% discount last year. Does anyone know of any discounts for this years because that would make me press buy?

Thanks, a definite no from me despite the nice box! I may try to pick a few things up from Vinted but far too much I don’t want to justify the price!

Vogue looks interesting. Not totally convinced but will check it out when they release it. I got the 2023 one and ended up loving the jewellery, especially the necklace and I’d never actually worn a necklace prior to that. Wondering now what happened to the bracelet from that Calendar 🤔.
thanks for the heads up. Love this thread 🙂

Vogues a no from me - holding out for SNK, if not I’ll get Harrods if still in stoc
….. and maybe glossybox and Diptyque

I really like the look of the Vogue one! And the jewellery is the kind of style I like. I’m just not sure if it would be worth it for me, because if I look at it that I reduce it down by £100 for the jewellery, it brings it in line with other BACs which I think have a better range of products for me. Other than the jewellery, for me, it doesn’t feel very luxe (obviously the purse ups its value, but it’s not a brand I’ve ever been interested in before)

I could be swayed if DH is struggling for gift ideas for me 😁

I quite like Vogue but I'm not sure that's enough. Last year they hung around for ages

Agree with above posters - there's lots i really like in the Vogue calendar, and would use (but lots of duplicates of stuff i already have), but overall i don't love it, so won't buy unless a great deal comes along - Harrods BAC is still in the lead for me for now.

Very pleased to see them actually releasing the full contents now though! And it is a really nice box.

Vogue is a no from me , I’m not liking the necklace and it’s one of the ‘ value ‘ items .
Im desperate for the Penhaligon and Diptique reveals .

just looked at vogue …it’s a no from me …I like the box but £70 socks (that are reduced to £29) really ? thats nearly as bad as that overpriced bag charm they had from from last year …shame …I had the vogue a couple of years back and it was very good except (the socks that time were £35 and didn’t last one hand wash )

I'm really struggling to get excited by advent calendars this year. I've said before the 2023 vogue was just the high that no calendar since has matched. This year feels far too early, possibly due to the continuous heatwaves, I just can't get in christmas mode. To be honest I don't want to be wishing my time away, with the kids growing I want to hold on to every minute.
I also don't buy calendars to resell items, I want a calendar that I will enjoy.
I have just seen this year's Vogue and I will probably go for that. I have a few longchamp le pliage bags of various sizes, so the purse will be used. I agree the neom/ct are not luxury and not things I will use, however there's 20 products i could use, which makes them under £18 per product. I think that's good value

I think Vogue is taking the mick sticking in CT peachgasm and ColourWow and charging £355!! Id expect ColourWow in Glossybox. Its a no from me. Phew.

Oooh, I quite like vogue (though also not happy to see the Neom candle make a reappearance!). So far, this and F&M are my favourites. I think because I already have loads of skincare, the ones that are skincare heavy aren’t appealing to me.

Want to see Space NK, Selfridges and Sephora.

Vogue is a no from me also. I'm desperate for other reveals now😫 I think i might get Degusta though, for that extra bit of fun!

I really like Vogue. I've just got home so I need to properly digest the details but at the moment it excites me a fair bit. I've got an Otiumberg necklace I love so I think I would like the jewellery.

I thought everyone would be a bit more excited about this one. I love the chest style too. Loads of uses for that! 😂

I know it's expensive and I probably need to hang on to see Selfridges and SNK but I dunno, this could be my Vogue year.

I’ve had the message now and checked the contents. Sadly it’s a no from me. May have been tempted if the jewellery was one colour & the purse and socks were a different colour. The only thing I’m vaguely tempted by is the skincare & wand.
i hate the WOW stuff, the way others hate PK. I find it unusable & horrible. Much rather PK but I suspect nobody would buy it if it had PK in 😄.

I am just catching up and really like Vogue, I will use or keep the majority of the items and a few bits gifted or sold.
Currently top of my list and now waiting impatiently for Selfridges and Sephora to do their reveals

Some teasers from the Look Fantastic calendar on their Instagram.

Looks like:

• Medik8 Total Cleanser
• Laneige Vanilla Lip Balm
• Color Wow Kale Cocktail
• The White Company Spray
• Clinique Moisture Surge
• Mac Fix+ Setting Spray
• Sol de Janeiro 40(?) Spritz
• Laura Mercier Ultra Blur (Powder)
• Elemis Pro-Collagen (Balm)

How long do you think it will hang about? Last year's wasn't great but I feel like this could go quicker. I'm very very tempted but also want to see Selfridges and SNK.

Where is Selfridges??? They're slow out the door this year.
