💄 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 would be interested in the Vanilla powder and the Ex Nihilo so will search for you on Vinted 😊

The posts have been deleted, I also prefer to buy from this community so please do message me your usernames ☺️

Stelladid · Today 17:53

Thank you for the thread(s). My choice is made more difficult because I do not wear make up. I’d prefer just bath and body, but would also use skincare.

QueefofSheena · Today 18:11

I'm safe from Boots FAC.

I'll be selling a few of my Harrods FAC once its here, so I'll post what I have available and DM anyone who might be interested. Also if I get JL or others

Skibunnygal · Today 18:12

If anyone is interested in selling the bag the liberty advent calendar comes in please PM me. Its about the only thing id like!

I was a liberty beauty drop membership for ages but gave it up this year. I decided to save £25 pm into a saving account instead (added on the odd small change lottery win) so I would be free to choose an advent from anywhere this year, but im not really "feeling" any of them this year yet. I think im a bit jaded now. I also have over £300 boots points to use, may choose one of their offerings or just buy a bottle of my fav chanel perfume when the GWPs start rolling round.

Over the years I've had liberty, John lewis, latest in beauty, lumene, clarins, m&s and a few others.

SaraCrewe06 · Today 18:41

@GrainoftuthSalt
I do!
August was the best in a long time, they can be very hit and miss. I often think about cancelling my subscription then remember that it affords me some money off the ACs so I keep going with it!

viccabelle · Today 18:41

I had absolutely no intention of buying SpaceNK but on the slim chance that GWP would work I am 100% jumping. Would make it an amazing deal and I would probably put the bits in an empty advent for an extra treat. I know it's unlikely 🤷‍♀️

SaraCrewe06 · Today 18:43

This is August’s box. I was pleased with it.

🎄✨ Beauty & Fragrance Advent Calendars – Info/Chat 2026 SPOILERS 🎁 Thread 4 ✨🎄
AppleDumplingWithCustard · Today 18:45

I’ve done the same as @Skibunnygal in giving up my Liberty subscription and saving £25 a month instead. I found the subscription to be too restrictive as Liberty’s range of products is quite niche and there was very little I wanted to buy if I didn’t fancy the AC. I now have enough saved for three or four ACs but having trouble deciding. I want to see a few more reveals before I commit to any of them. Enjoying this thread very much.

dc82 · Today 18:47

Evening beauty lovers!

Am I right that at the moment we still don’t know full contents for GB, CB or Sephora?

Advententhusiast · Today 18:49

Noadded · Today 15:00

Hi @26inprogress - I’ve got all of the Liberty AC and BD perfumes to sell. How much did you list them for please? £5 each maybe? Then again, they’re all different sizes.

Id ask a bit more if I were you.

Whats BD?

XEmeraldx · Today 18:51

I just watched the Liberty unboxing and was so disappointed. I think it’s really poor value compared to Harrods and SNK for example there are far too many deluxe sizes and minis for that cost compared to their competitors.

I wish the others such as SNK would stop faffing about with their handbag running around the UK and just disclose the content already.

looking forward to the SNK video Monday but wish they had done another Fleurdeforce one, thought last year’s process was better.

ClutteredPalace · Today 18:55

It's a bit early but if anyone gets the Harrods BAC and is planning on selling the lipsticks or Montale perfume please DM me your vinted or ebay name. Like everyone else I'd rather buy from people here. 😊

Ok thanks - I’ll go and investigate those bad boys. Im still not sure what I’m getting 😂

JoRaRaRa · Today 15:28

🤣 it was when I signed up to here and realised that you lot have more than 1, then I went mad. Hoping to not go as mad this year, but if the sales are good, I'll have no choice 🙈

I might just ignore HN fac and Spacenk fac, I can't be buying them all. I'm liking the look of the LF fac so far too. I just said I'm not going to go mad 😮‍💨

I remember last year when @OvaHere went out for the weekend and it was as if the teacher had left the room and we all went nuts buying Elemis A/C at a silly price 😊

Hicupping · Today 19:05

I'm trying to make myself love the Lbty as I have so much credit but I agree with everything this youtuber says.
It's underwhelming for me, the hair and some of the sizes too.

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

Boots skincare looks quite nice, as does Holland and Barrett. There is also the Harrods Hair and Body one.

Im the same. Zero interest in makeup and not particularly interested in hair but would be ok with a shampoo and conditioner.

Thanks! It’s Liberty Beauty Drop (beauty box by post every quarter) 😊

I remember that and @JoRaRaRa was the biggest influencer!! Lots of people got the Tatcha and why do I think eve lom as well. Let’s hope they don’t sell out ata Harrods again this year

Caggie09 · Today 19:53

Just watched the Liberty unboxing, its not swayed me. I have bought the Fugazzi perfume from Vinted though.

Noadded · Today 19:57

Totally underwhelmed with the Liberty AC unboxing. They’ve got the whole year to make it awesome. The box also looks visually the same as last year. Definite miss for me!

Has anyone got a screenshot of the leaked SNK contents please?
