💄 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 feel so irritated that we’ve still only got partial spoilers for so many calendars.

Me too. And I know it's only August, but the fact is lots go on sale really quite soon and this dripfeed of contents means it's really difficult to make a realistic comparison. I guess this marketing strategy must work with gen Z etc but it is really putting me off.

Did anyone see the story on Instagram of the girls who won the Space NK prize yesterday? They looked about 14. I understand that shops seem to be targeting that demographic now but it gives me the ick. They don't need retinol and heavy skincare and make-up.

IlovePond · 21/08/2026 13:21

You’re right @OvaHere

Speaking of Oh My Cream - I didn’t realise they had a shop in Shoreditch. It’s tiny, and the very large security guard followed me round whilst glaring at me with suspicion - I won’t be rushing back!

Beautyfox · 21/08/2026 13:24

OvaHere · 21/08/2026 13:15

Oh My Cream Advent launching soon £195

Comes in a pretty bag.

https://beauty-detective.com/oh-my-cream-advent-calendar-2026/

This is exciting…..

Yes, very excited to see what's in this. I really like some of the brands they stock (violette, VB) and I've been very happy with orders from them so far. The price is reasonable too, depending on the contents of course!

Is that a pottery cupboard in the advert? Strange way of marketing it. I don't need reminding that I'll be cooking later 🤣🤣

I would love to know if Liberty have met their target for pre-orders of the a/c and how sales compare with last year’s.

When you consider that last year’s calendar had the full size AB eye cream, the ELewisham serum and the La Mer lip balm, (not that I could use the latter - someone got a huge bargain on eBay), this year’s doesn’t compare for me.

SheilaFentiman · 21/08/2026 13:39

@owlpassport I was in Superdrug yesterday and a very young girl was asking the assistant for the skincare. Assistant asked her what kind of skincare and how old she was - the answer was 6!!

Assistant kindly and rightly proceeded to say that she didn't need much stuff as her skin was so young - I didn't see where they went but hopefully the little girl got directed to some lip balm and maybe a bit of glitter!

SummerLimes · 21/08/2026 13:52

I think my list so far is:
Elle
Glossybox
vogue

Would like rest of reveals though.

or maybe a different approach this year - Diptyque

SummerLimes · 21/08/2026 13:53

Yes - I really dislike these ranges aimed at pre teens.

I saw that and thought the same. I remember just being happy with a flavored lip balm and the odd crappy face mask😂

Addictedtobeauty · 21/08/2026 15:26

Oh Wow, that does bring some perspective! Thanks for sharing @OvaHere

hattie43 · 21/08/2026 16:05

Is there an unboxing vid anywhere from someone whose received the liberty calendar please

pinkchampagne1 · 21/08/2026 16:32

I keep checking to see if anyone has posted an unboxing of Liberty but nothing seems to have popped up yet

Oh what a beaut!

Must resist... must...

Thelifeofawife · 21/08/2026 18:45

@viccabelle That’s a beauty! I always like the look of their advents, but contents wise another retailer always wins for me

viccabelle · 21/08/2026 18:46

I've allowed myself to open one drawer which happened to be the Debaser DS&Durga pefume and it is bloody lovely 😍

I’m on holiday in France and saw an actual ‘Oh my Cream’ shop … my other half said ‘what an unusual name’ or words to that effect!

@viccabelle that’s a pretty box and bag. That’s going to be my BAC and already thinking what can make with the bag!
