💄 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.

🎅 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! 😄)

We were chatting about this edit on the beauty chat thread a few days ago and I think some others had a £10 off beauty reward so they were able to get it for £55, maybe check if you have that reward before purchasing 😊

@JoRaRaRa Thank you - but unfortunately I used it last week for a new Chanel perfume 😂

I have just broken my eyelash curlers funnily enough!

Fenwick looks potentially good. I'm quite new to advent calendars so am waiting for some of the lower price point ones. Boots Skin and the Korean one might be contenders for me.

Thanks for this fun and nice corner of Mumsnet

Fenwick does look quite good and I'm glad they're not leaving it as late this year. Not sure it's one I'll get. I need to see a written down list of everything.

Same! We need @MaryBD's list 😍

I think the Thameen perfume in Fenwick is this one which sounds like one I'd like. I didn't like the one last year.

I think the glittery bottle is this
https://fenwick.co.uk/products/dripping-gold-born-to-shine-shimmer-oil-55ml

Thanks for the update. At £90 it’s an amazing value. CT blush and Medik8 serum alone are worth that, and Commodity fragrance is a bonus 😍

Selfridges FAC only £125 or is it just a guess https://adventcalendar.co.uk/selfridges-fragrance-advent-calendar/

Seems insane they would price it at £125 but maybe they want to make waves on the first one. The website will melt down in seconds if that's the case.

This website is a load of crap, every year. I think it's AI-driven and just trawls the internet. I wouldn't take this as anywhere near reliable.

Blimey, surely it wouldn’t be that cheap! Maybe £225? 🤔

I’ll take a closer look in 2–3 hours, no worries.

Thank you 🩷

I'm actually expecting it to be more like £300-£350. £125 seems insane!

I agree. I can’t imagine it being under £200 and am expecting it to be £250 plus

Fenwick does look good this year. I wonder if they do a decent gwp (not a chuffin empty bag) that stacks with it this year.

If its only £125 I will be literally camping outside of Selfridges to bag one 😆

I think it looks good, but I'm not sure it beats Harrods for me and as I have bought the Harrods FAC and planning to buy a Selfridge's FAC, I don't need all the fragrances in the Fenwick ac.

Oh god, I've got no chance if it's that cheap 😅 I don't think their website would cope! Was hoping it would be higher than Harrods to stand a fighting chance.

I agree that Harrods still tops it for me and I don’t need all the fragrance. However, if they do a good gwp that stacks with it then I could be swayed, so I kind of hope they don’t! 😆

You'd have to get both, the Harrods opening thread wouldn't be the same without you 😀

I think if it's that cheap, the world and his dog will be after it 🤣 I think we need to wait until it's confirmed by a more reliable source before getting excited.

Harrods is already pre ordered! I am excited for that one 😃

True, I'm just on high alert everytime it gets mentioned and tend to panic before I think. 😂 I'd be amazed if it really was that price considering the price of their fragrance edits. £125 isn't very realistic.
