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.

💄 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! 😄)

I hope you’re feeling ok @DidILeaveTheGasOn maybe you need another treat to get over the shock

I have contacted the international team at Selfridges and they don’t ship the FAC internationally :(
Maybe if I buy a handbag, they can add a FAC to the box 🤣
It’s a shame they don’t as would be VAT free and Harrods does, just needs a dangerous goods sticker.

You didn't happen to ask them how much it is and when they are releasing it? 😂

Noeggsontoast · 14/08/2026 13:38

Love these threads but time poor so rarely post. Thanks for all the insights. I’ve gone for the Harrods FAC this year (never had it before) after deciding against Liberty BAC even though I have credit. I would have been one and done except for the SpaceNK sale which tipped me into getting Sisley which I love. So I’ve topped my FAC up with buying the Sisley Black Rose set at 50% off at SNK, stocked up on my favourite cleanser which is almost out, getting the GWP and free little keychain. With 21 items in the GWP, plus the 3 in Sisley and the keychain I have enough to refill my Liberty from last year for 25 days. So that’s me done and dusted with two. Probably the only thing I’ll buy now is an Hourglass palette, I buy one every year.

I love this, I will be adopting it as a motto from now on.
I also donate any unwanted items to the hygiene bank. Mostly because I cba with selling them, but I also like the idea of someone on a low ebb getting a really nice cleanser or mascara to use

I take mine to the hospice charity shop. They bag them up in ‘good’ carrier bags with tissue paper and seal them.

People buy them for £10 and get a lovely gift/suprise and the hospice gets money to help with treats etc.

JoRaRaRa · 14/08/2026 10:26

Same! We need @MaryBD's list 😍

Advententhusiast · 14/08/2026 15:03

I am intrigued by the Fenwick one. Some people mentioned they usually have a gift with purchase. Around what time would that be?

pinkchampagne1 · 14/08/2026 15:09

Ohh thank you. 😊 Looks good

It is usually around mid October if they do it

Agreed! You are always welcome!

Addictedtobeauty · 14/08/2026 15:27

Thanks @MaryBD . I really like the look of Fenwick- it’s a contender for sure but needs thought. Not without its DOD (looking at you, PK, CT and the eyelash curlers!)
SFAC can not be that price- was that how much the fragrance wardrobe was a couple of years ago?

JoRaRaRa · 14/08/2026 15:32

Yes, we all quite enjoy a challenge and a mystery 🤣

I’d be very surprised if SFAC came in under £200. I’m expecting more like £250+, to be honest.

I am definitely expecting £250+ (and that would be an absolute steal tbh).

The site with the price is notorious for having unreliable /outdated information. I wonder if there is another fragrance wardrobe on the way priced at £125 and they’ve got confused.

I’d really love to get one myself, but I’m already mentally prepared for it to sell out in about a minute.

If anyone can even get on to the site after it crashes! 😂

Addictedtobeauty · 14/08/2026 16:23

Oh it will be like hens teeth. Very prepared to be empty handed but will try 🍀🤞

SoloCat · 14/08/2026 16:31

The Luna perfume in SFAC looks quite tiny next to the other scents, are they 10ml next to it? Also the cherry, is that 15ml? I’m sure the only full size is the Ormonde Jayne…not sure if it’s me having a senior moment though 😂
How much was the FSNK last year? I can’t remember that either, it’s been a long day and it’s not even 5pm! I blame the heat ☀️
