A few festive housekeeping notes;

💄 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! 😄)

JM is- definite yes for me this year. I already knew it was on the list but the spoilers have confirmed. I just hope there are not lots of hand creams. I could bathe in hand creams I have so many.

Oh I am liking the look of JM too, despite having it last year and having quite a lot of their fragrances still to get through. If Duty Free are selling it again and DH could use his staff discount then I fear the temptation would get too much for me 😵‍💫

There is a couple of 100ml shower gels but mostly 30ml and smaller. Might be nice for guests; I used to do that with L'Occitane minis.

Last year there were a couple of hand & body creams which I used as body lotion and would often use with the matching perfume. There was only one tube of standard hand cream.

Hmmm, I’m quite liking the look of F&M this year (although I sooo don’t need it!). Looks like a really nice mix of products.

The socks are a bit random, but I would probably wear them. I don’t like the lipgloss or the shadow stick though.

I like the look of it too. I'm so tempted. I think I'll only get one "treat" BAC, so this might be the one. Might get more later if others get reduced, but I've got so much stuff from edits etc that it's silly to get more.

FAC is another matter although the Boots one doesn't look especially tempting to me; they all look like small sizes and I'm not keen on Kayali. Might change my mind when we get the full reveal.

I have a teen dc so the socks and lip gloss will be easy to distribute! Better small items than last year!

3 soaps, 3 lotions and 1 hand cream last year and the year before I think.

The socks, shadow and lip gloss were the things I liked most

(I think I may actually be around 12 years old)

Thank you for the new thread 😊

Need to catch up on 6 pages !

I purchased 3 at £13.99 at the beginning of September, and then another one for £9.99 on 22nd September. There were a few Amazon coupons taking the price down each time.

I also got two both at ten quid each in Oct 2025

Me too re ginger biscuit, when they bought it out again a couple of years ago for Christmas I asked my DH to get one for me, so stressed they were going to sell out and he wouldn’t purchase in time I bought it myself! Then ended up with 2 large bottles 😂😂

Re JL BAC: in terms of claimed value - the Foreo device is £50 cheaper at Amazon (in a different colour - JL is Fuschia, Amazon has the pale pink on offer):
https://amzn.eu/d/00en68kt

They have slightly different model numbers, but according to AI:
The Foreo model numbers F1559 and F1566 represent identical hardware—the Foreo UFO 3 Mini 4-in-1 facial hydration and mask-infuser device—with the only difference being their exterior colorway. Model F1559 corresponds to Pearl Pink, while model F1566 corresponds to Fuchsia.

This is putting me off the JL BAC, as electronics do vary so much in price, especially around BF.

It’s £150 isn’t it?

No that’s the beauty one - the FAC is £90 as per @HollyGolightly4

😆

I’m sure that the socks will be nice to wear, but they are merino silk and I can’t be dealing with handwashing socks (I have been known to shrink wool socks in the washing machine!).

I don’t like lip gloss in general, but that orangey shade is definitely not for me.

I just like all the fancy looking bottles in F&M!

Ah thanks.

Just had my email invitation to sign up for the Vogue AC. It’s usually lovely, so hopefully will be again this year.

I keep opening the tread hoping for the Selfridges release. But I would prefer a pretty box not the yellow!

I was expecting more from Boots first fragrance advent!

Fortnum & Mason is now available for pre-order! To buy or not to buy? I don’t know what to dooooo! The stress is starting early this year. 😱

I’m liking the look of the Boots FAC! I also love the Givenchy fragrance, before I stumbled onto these beauty/AC threads it was my everyday fragrance, and I go back to it now and again. I’ve also got a spare. But I enjoy having the minis to put in my work bag.

I knew there had been some spoilers when I came on here and was 4 pages behind 😅 I was hoping it was SNK

I’ve also bought my first advent this year, the Harrods FAC. Hoping to avoid any others!

You need a beauty one too, it's the law. I might put it in the guidelines on the 1st post 🤣
