💄 More Calendars & Spoilers

Rather than making the opening post a mile long, here's 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 that's already gone for some 😄)

Space NK have started their marketing campaign for the calendar and their own posts confirms the pic is legit https://www.instagram.com/p/DcGZDRhIkdN/

I can't look at instagram because I don't have an account, but that definitely helps me because now I know I l'm unlikely to want it. Selfridges it is 😀

OP posts:
JoRaRaRa · 17/08/2026 17:18

@ShineDespiteEverything I put the rodial bee serum into my chatgpt too and it said that you're to be careful with it as it says if you're allergic to bee stings to not use.

@PeachIcedTeaQueen thank you for sharing, it certainly does look like the same image. There's only 3 things I want in the spacenk so it's completely ruled out for me. I'm still going to watch the official reveal though 😀

pinkchampagne1 · 17/08/2026 17:21

Sounds like we are going to have to wait until October for the Selfridges FAC. I am hoping they soon give us an idea of the price.

Will be interested to see the full SNK reveal on Wednesday. They are doing it early this year - sure it was in the evening they did last year’s reveal.

ElizabethG81 · 17/08/2026 17:27

JoRaRaRa · 17/08/2026 17:15

I love the skincare one but the luxe one this year is totally uninspired.

pinkchampagne1 · 17/08/2026 17:29

That does look the exact same image for SNK and confirms it is not for me this year. Still looking forward to the unboxing video

Caggie09 · 17/08/2026 17:30

Hmm, I'm not sure about Boots now. I'd use the products, but it doesn't excite me🤷🏼‍♀️

JoRaRaRa · 17/08/2026 17:35

@pinkchampagne1 yeah, I thought it was in the evening last year too. Seems weird to do it at 7am when most people are getting ready for work.

We need some more look fantastic spoilers and cult beauty, it's been a few days now. It's unacceptable 🤣

OP posts:
ShineDespiteEverything · 17/08/2026 17:35

For anyone without Insta access, here is a screenshot of SNK post and caption below it ‘Hmmm...l have an idea 👀’

I’ve no idea what it supposed to mean 🤔🤷‍♀️

Well that was a useful way to spend the afternoon! Apparently I don’t have a stash of lovely skincare problem I just have a shortage of face! 😂

It was very useful. I now have an AM and PM routine which has reduced duplications of ingredients and I have a use up queue to switch in as I use products up. Plus a list of things I should not use on my face due to sensitivity and rosacea.

But apparently I definitely don’t need a BAC…..

If AI suggested that you get a second face, it may be time for us to run, as the machines are taking over :->

I have to say they always had either paula's choice or drunk elephant product, both are missing. I still haven't decided, I really want to want it but I don't think I do

SheilaFentiman · 17/08/2026 17:42

The SpaceNK bag is a master criminal that has stolen the advent calendar. The INSTA pic is it plotting the crime.

Yeah, I'm not sure the explanation helps :->

Peridot1 · 17/08/2026 17:44

@SheilaFentiman - 😂. Maybe so! It didn’t suggest I grow one though to be fair.

It was definitely a worthwhile exercise for me. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by what I had and randomly opening something once I’d used something else up but not really knowing what I was doing. I’m okay with cleansers and eye creams etc but I had soooo many serums it was ridiculous. And exfoliants. Like @ShineDespiteEverything my skin is not feeling great and I now have an inkling of why.

SucksToBeYou · 17/08/2026 17:51

Waiting on official confirmation for ACs has turned me crazy. I read a post upthread saying that the Selfridges FAC will be released on 1st Oct, and I thought, I bet thats a fib! She wants to throw everyone off the scent so theres less competition for her to get one when it is released before then! 🤣

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 17/08/2026 17:53

I have to admit, Chatgpt helped me to stop destroying my skin barrier with ALL the actives. My skin is (touch wood) reliably good at the moment.

Beautyfox · 17/08/2026 17:55

What’s the usual price point of SNK? The only product I want to try is the medik8. I have used and I would reuse (not sure this is a reason to get a BAC but I’m trying) SR good genes, SDJ and colour wow leave in. So a total of about £190 at best. The calendar would need to be sub £200 for me to be mildly interested but I suspect that’s its closer to £250. Therefore, I’m saving my pounds and hoping SNk do some fab edits.

SNK shows as £275 in the photo, which is slightly more than last year - fits in with the usual price point.

ShineDespiteEverything · 17/08/2026 17:58

Thanks @SheilaFentiman that’s cute! So SNK are solving crimes this advent season 🕵️🔎 (but the biggest crime is including that AB body lotion of course! 🤣)
@Peridot1glad it works for you as well 🤗 saves a bit of money too 🤑 I still want Boots skincare calendar though 😁

OvaHere · 17/08/2026 17:58

I think Boots Luxe is good for £150. A lot of very usable stuff and it has the EL eye serum which is pricey. The Aveda S&C sounds nice too.

MiaN · 17/08/2026 18:03

Space NK is no for me, unless I get vouchers I don't have plans for around my birthday. Even then I think I will keep them for black Friday and Cyber Monday

🤣🤣 You're not trusting anyone! I don't get why they've released the spoilers now for it to be October when it's released. Very frustrating! I wonder if the 1st Oct is when it goes in store and it will actually be online earlier 🤔

Thanks. It’s a def no from me then. I didn’t shop with SNK last year but I heard really good things so I was looking forward to this years offering but hey it’s just not meant to be.

IDontKnowWhatYouMean · 17/08/2026 18:16

Big price jump for Elle (as predicted by the experts on here).
Im wondering whether the higher Elle price point means I should just spend that bit more and get Harrods instead.
