💄 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.

🎅 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 😄)

It turned me onto Molton Brown. I quite like the bodylotion and how it feels on my skin.

The Naturium cleanser from the SpaceNK. Just started using it a few weeks ago.

Boring I know, but Delina from PdM eau de parfum. Stayed away from it for ages but it grew on me. Also Byredo but its so fleeting that I will never buy it. Bu whenever its in an edit, AC etc is a plus for me.

Caudalie

And the hairproducts from K18, Color Wow and living proof. I wouldnt purchase all from CW such as the spray but it was nice to try.

I also have a list of brands to stay away or be cautionary before I just slap it on amd see what happens.

I can see it's a nice airpod/bag charm. Does seem a bit pointless to me but suspect I'm not the target market. 😂

When Will get an mail from selfdiegww about calender?? I want it in print

Exactly, I am not the target audience either. I asked as was shocked to see it sold out as to me it’s pretty pointless as so small

So does this mean the previous Space NK leak was a fake?

No, I'm pretty sure it was real (especially as they asked @MaryBD to remove it) and this is just them trying to get back on top of the marketing.

Sorry wrong thread!

Ah, okay

Thank you!

yeah, me too 🙂

This is my favourite too. I still use the suit carrier it was wrapped in

Are SNK not doing a FAC this year? I will probably swerve HN if they do one until things settle down and I'm not holding out much hope of getting the Selfridges one

I think they usually release the fragrance calendar quite a while after the beauty one from what I remember

I’ve just been thinking about this. Tbh my memory is dreadful so I’m not quite sure where I got it from but I really like the votary resurfacing peel which I think was from an advent last year (or maybe 2024). I’ve actually currently got it in my basket at Liberty.

Too late to edit sorry. But I’ve just found it. It was from Liberty 2024, sorry. I’ve not long finished it. I think that explains how large my stash is if I’ve only just got round to using it. I really shouldn’t be buying more advents this year but I’m not good with restraint!

I’m thinking of getting the boots fragrance one. Not really into beauty or skincare (I know I know!) but not 100% sure yet. Also want a coffee one with either bags or drip bags if anyone has recommendations

Just seen something on You Tube saying the SNK unboxing will be shown at 6pm on the 24th

Hopefully someone decent will unbox it this year. Fleur de Force was fine last year, but the two useless waffley women the year before were dreadful.

Last year was kinda my first year getting into BAC and FACs (not counting 2023 when I got an M&S calendar, haha!). I did find quite a few really good products.
The best was the: then I met you cleansing balm (SNK) which removes makeup really well and also does not sting or make my eyes blury unlike all the others I have tried. Given its citrus oils, it's a product I would never have purchased based on ingredients list but happened to work out really well for my sensitive skin. I have since purchased a second jar.
Also Phlur vanilla skin was amazing (SNK). I usually avoid perfumes that would make me smell like edibles! But I really loved this one. My sister also loved it so I gave the travel sized to her and was lucky to receive a full sized version for my bday from friends (did drop hints of course!)
Also really liked angel's share kilian perfume from SNK. The Granado perfume in HN ( very similar profile to angel's share actually) and the byrdo ball d'afrique (from bloomingdales FAC advent calendar).
I also really liked the shower oil from SDJ in SNK and also the WA blush stick is amazing.
The OK beauty box had a few brands I had never heard of and some seemed a bit obscure (to me) but I found a few great products such as the bronze eye pencil (which is really good quality), the lash serum and the highlighter stick they had.
A lot of other things were also great in the advents I bought but I would not necessarily repurchase them. I also figured which products I don't like/ my skin does not tolerate, which is a better way of finding out than paying full price (e.g. la mer lip volumizer, rodial dragons blood eye gel, etc.)

@Hicupping - I like the Zelens B12 too.

@ShineDespiteEverything - the Zelens and Verden Nocturne from last year’s Liberty were things I have repurchased via eBay. (I have put them in my DIY refilled Liberty a/c.

There is zero chance I would repurchase at RRP so I am enjoying them whilst I can!

Ditto the MZ eye cream - also from Liberty.

I like the SDJ body creams and have repurchased when on offer.

I also repurchased the Clarins Flash Balm that was in the 2023 calendar. I don’t really know what it does, but I am using up my second tube. I probably won’t repurchase it as I have tons of other stuff to get through.

I also repurchased Christopher Robin’s salt scrub, (that was from an M&S calendar).

I am sure there have been a few other things, but they are the ones that immediately spring to mind.

I had a great coffee one bought for me a couple of years ago from this company. This offer would allow you to make your own - 50 drip coffee bags. I don’t think their advents are out yet.

Coffee

Thank you all, enjoy reading everyone’s favourites 🙂

I've not tried any Rhode yet but its on my radar, they have a minis kit I'd like to try for skincare and I'm interested in the blushers too.

I can’t remember where and when it came from but a tiny 5ml tube of 111Skin repair serum Y2 was almost a spiritual experience.

It changed my skin drastically (for the good).

Sadly, it’s very, very expensive though but fortunately appears occasionally on V.

According to Selfridges, Fragrance calendar will cost £399 and launch in October—so expensive!
