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! 😄)

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 ☀️

£160

SoloCat · 14/08/2026 16:38

Thanks @OvaHere 😊

IlovePond · 14/08/2026 17:04

I have just spent the hottest afternoon of the year, (probably), putting together my DIY a/c for my DFriend. All 25 days are now in little Xmas hessian bags inside a repurposed EL red satin case from a previous year’s Blockbuster set.

Adult DS1 caught me at it, and is convinced I have completely lost the plot!

It’s a mixture of beauty products, Xmas trinkets and earrings and various other carefully curated items 😹

I am feeling quite pleased with myself but wish I had more to do - it’s so much fun!

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 14/08/2026 17:29

Decided I've been an adult all day so I can justify the Fortnum & Mason BAC, ordered.
Decided against the Anthropologie one because it's all samples.

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 14/08/2026 17:30

@IlovePond That sounds absolutely lovely. Maybe you should start making them for sale!

@DidILeaveTheGasOn - I would have loved to have been a buyer for a shop! Shame I didn’t know those jobs existed when I was a kid 😹

JoRaRaRa · 14/08/2026 17:46

Really Ree on insta has just posted a CB spoilers video. She's only revealed one extra product though, the sulwhasoo first care activating serum 8ml. It's in the same drawer as the AoS though 🥰

Im currently using the Sulwhasoo activating serum that Really Ree has shown. Im really enjoying it. But, i think CB have been abit cheeky there, as i got an ad on FB a few months back from CB offering as a sample. The same 8ml!

HardyJadeTurtle · 14/08/2026 17:58

seen alot TikToks saying the SFAC will be Launching in october? I thougyh more like early sep

That’s seems quite late. Is the BAC usually September?

Yes BAC was early sep last year but 2024 was october. The hype would die then

Cult beauty sell the 8ml for £40 😳

I want the LF ones. For fragrances I love travel sizes. I quickly tire of 50ml bottles usually.

Oh man, im getting impatient. I just want them all to release the contents so I can shop 😂

SaraCrewe06 · 14/08/2026 18:22

@JoRaRaRa
Thanks for that. I wonder if there’ll be a full-sized perfume in the last drawer like last year?
Pomegranate Noir isn’t my favourite JM but I love Black Opium so it’s looking promising.

Caggie09 · 14/08/2026 18:25

JoRaRaRa · 14/08/2026 18:13

Oh wow, that's crazy. A bit random they were giving them away then🙈

If you're referring to the Wildsmith Copper Peptide cream in the F&M AC then I agree that would also be a standout product for me. The Wildsmith Copper Peptide serum was in their 2024 AC and I loved it - I repurchased it from Vinted.

My DSis gets me a BAC each year, so I'm hoping to just stick to the one (hopefully it will be Harrods if she managed to get it). I will try and get the Selfridges FAC - if anyone else plans to camp outside the Manchester City Centre store to get one too let me know 😁

Yes that’s the one, good to know it’s one to look forward to!

Stylevana is the best place to pick up the Sulwhasoo minis. 15ml for about £8 or 2 x 15ml for £15. Shipping takes longer but worth it if you buy a few at a time.

That’s so odd. I can’t find that one anywhere on CB unless I go via your link! I bought it a while ago with 20% off, I think it was when they were handing out the £10 worth of points with every order, but I haven’t gotten around to using it yet.

SunnyPinkMoose · 14/08/2026 19:11

SunnyPinkMoose · 14/08/2026 19:18

OvaHere · 14/08/2026 13:28

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

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We really need a laughing emoji . Sometimes the comments are my joy at the end of a long ole day
