💄 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 😄)

I’m quite interested in glossybox. I wish they’d reveal all. I might get that and 1 more, maybe Harrods.

Mejera · 17/08/2026 20:32

Thanks for the update on the Boots calendar details coming out. The Luxe one is off my list, but the cheaper one could be tempting if a good offer comes on.

Frankenstein - I only learned about them from these threads last year, but loved the idea! Also love the suggestions of adding chocs and fun christmas stuff - thanks all 😃

Beautyfox · 17/08/2026 20:34

Look fantastic are launching their 3 calendars on the 1st September. This looks like it’s going to be a busy day and I’m away. I really didn’t plan this well!!!

IlovePond · 17/08/2026 20:34

Assuming someone sets up a Waifs and Strays opening thread this year, I will be on that with my two DIY efforts and hopefully the teabag one too! (But only if it’s reduced!)

See you there with my 17 cosmetics 😀

Dermalogica is on sale
edited for terrible spelling

https://www.dermalogica.co.uk/products/advent-calendar-2026?

Edited

Inside you'll find 2 full-size products, 1 mid-size product, 5 travel sizes, 14 deluxe minis and 2 accessories.

Only 2 full size products. For £229!!! Bloody shocking 😱

Advententhusiast · 17/08/2026 20:38

I'm tired of SdJ, CT wands, eyelashcurlers and other nonsense, PK products, The Ordinary (doesnt belong in expensive advents) and putting either 3 eye creams/ 3 lipproducts and 3 serums in 1 Advent which is then copied by every Advent with barely any full size day and nightcream in it.

The SpaceNK is a no for me this year. Only interested in 3 or 4 products. I wonder if they release a Fragrance one this year.

OvaHere · 17/08/2026 18:06

I’m defo going to try and get Elle I’ll use 75% off everything in there !! Finally.
That is good value for a lot of very usable products !
that might be me done save Lib credit for next year .

well until you all get me involved in selfridges .

OvaHere · 17/08/2026 20:53

I do really love the SNK box. Just wish I liked the contents more.

Crikey. I just saw 75% and thought there was some sort of crazy 75% off deal.

<as you were>

JoRaRaRa · 17/08/2026 18:53

More Look Fantastic spoilers:
SPA Bergamot and Jasmine Bath and Shower Gel 100ml
Made By Mitchell Blursh Liquid Blusher in Strawberry Cream Full Size, worth £14

My interest in LF has just gone down 🤣

The Made By Mitchel Blursh is a disappointing addition, I agree, although I dont mind the ESPA shower gel... I think at the LF price point, thats fine.

SummerLimes · 17/08/2026 21:09

I wonder if SNK are revising the contents? If that’s possible at this stage.

Im so sorry @RainbowZebraWarrior been a long day and lazy thumb 😂

and im with you all , no more SDJ and Huda and eyelash curlers . I know for a lot of people a BAC is a new thing but I just don’t understand why there are not more” new” products . I don’t want a hair clip , a key ring .
we know they are not paying the full retail price and it’s supposed to entice us to buy there products so why can’t they put in wow products ! how does that work when it’s all the bloody same . I’m so so so dissapointed by SNK 😟. I just picked up my haul ( no candle got a email out if stock ) and I’m delighted . I Want to love it , I love the box . But no . I keep going back to Harrods .

then decide Elle , then think maybe Niche . I’m going around and around . I can’t do the spreadsheet . I’m going to have to find some time write it down .

but right now I actually went yes yes yes yes yes to Elle .

SheilaFentiman · 17/08/2026 21:11

Never heard of Beauty Crop but saw on instagram they did a summer “advent” bag with 25 bits in it.

thebeautycrop.com/products/summer-beauty-bag-25-piece-gift-set

Noooo, don’t make summer advent a thing, we will go bankrupt!

OvaHere · 17/08/2026 21:12

SummerLimes · 17/08/2026 21:09

I would have thought contracts are long in place by now and boxes packed and ready to go.

I'd love a year of employment shadowing the making of a big advent. Dream job. 😂

They should defo do a documentary “ the creating of a BAC” that I would watch

SummerLimes · 17/08/2026 21:16

If SNK have read the feedback / they must be thinking yikes missed the mark. It really felt like a treat last year. Tbh there none are as exciting.

pinkchampagne1 · 17/08/2026 21:22

I think the contents of the Elle calendar are much more exciting than SNK, and it is nearly £90 cheaper!

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 17/08/2026 21:23

I think Elle's become a surprise contender for me too. I had psyched myself up to FINALLY get the spacenk (should've got it in 2024 😡) but I'm finding reasons not to.

I want an AC with good haircare too (that isn't the Harrods 12 day).

My dream job too! I wonder if its a whole job, or part of another role?

ClutteredPalace · 17/08/2026 22:04

I actually think I'm lucky being reasonably new to BACs. I'm not jaded by some of the products that have been doing the rounds for a while and actively welcome some of the beauty tools that are DOD for others. However, I can already see that this might be my last year of feeling like that because you can definitely see the same brands and products popping up in edits and calendars. It's also stopped me buying some tools that I might want as I'm confident they'll turn up in an edit or calendar before long so I refuse to buy them.

XiCi · 17/08/2026 22:07

snackcident · 17/08/2026 19:36

Is any one else a little fed up of seeing sdj in AC and edits? I feel it’s been over done, and since seeing it in home bargains it’s lost it’s “luxury” edge for me personally.

Same. Its been done to death for a few years now. I used to not mind getting them in the ACs as I'd just wrap for dds stocking but shes not as fussed on them now. Definitely take the shine off knowing theyre £2.99 in Home Bargains as well.

XiCi · 17/08/2026 22:13

I think the Elle calendar is the main contender for me at the moment. Glossybox looks really promising, just waiting for full spoilers

Peridot1 · 17/08/2026 22:30

Wow @viccabelle - that’s amazing!
