💄 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 😄)

Here’s the picture, believe the Medik8 is the new one

Me too - please dm your Vinted names as would prefer to buy from someone on here

Same. I want to love it, but I just don't. Looks virtually the same as last year as you say, and I'm not getting any massive wow moments from any of the products.

I've bought the Liberty and normally watching the unboxing makes me more excited for the calendar but it somehow looks worse in the video than from just reading content list.

Just messaged you x

Ooooo I quite like SNK pic! Thanks for sharing.

I’m planning to open my ACs all in one go on Christmas Day! I loved it last year with a pile of potions 😂 I need to work on a system for organising the stuff so it gets used. Still haven’t used some of the stuff from last year!!

Good to get some real feedback, thanks @SaraCrewe06 I have been thinking about joining. Mainly for the advent calendar initially, but was going to carry on if it’s generally good. Are you signed up to the 12 month subscription or the rolling month one? (Just wondering which I need to do to get the discount on the calendar.)

@IDontHateRainbows and others, please DM your usernames for vinted/ebay, there’s always a few bits that I want from the BACs that I don’t buy.

I need to go through my stash again and see what I can clear out again.
For anything I sell, I tend to go for average price but with the view that I’ll take an offer - happy to do extra discount for my fellow beauty addicts. At this point I’m just trying to justify spending more on new BACs 😅

@mooshkymoo
I have the 12 month subscription.
I like the look of both the LF Beauty and Fragrance ACs this year so I may cancel next year.

Thanks @SaraCrewe06 ☺️

I signed up to the Glossybox monthly one on Friday and will keep it as long as the boxes are half decent, if they do downhill I will cancel. I plan on buying the advent which is why I signed up

Does anyone know how quickly the Glossybox advent usually sells out? I'm interested in getting it to open alongside my Liberty but really want to check the contents first and I haven't been able to find many confirmed contents.

Last year it was around for a while. But the other calenders are being seen as a bit mid/ overpriced for their offerings so who knows.

Thanks @Advententhusiast, I definitely think the cheaper calendars are starting to look more appealing to me this year. Im not hugely excited by anything other than the FACs.

I expect the Glossybox contents in the next few days as it goes on sale for subscribers on the 27th and everyone else the 28th

Same, Im much more interested in getting both the LF Beauty and Frag, plus the Glossybox as well.

CB is looking highly unlikely for me as does Space NK.

Ive got plenty of stuff so its all good.

Thank you, I'll keep an eye out. Im pretty sure I'll get it anyway, I just want to be certain. As much as I'd love to, I can't really justify unlimited calendars 😅

I am really struggling to hold back from buying more and more - that I can’t afford!
Looking again at Harrods - think I might just be being drawn in by the name and the thought of having a Harrods one!
Has anyone used any of these products? Which are the standout ones? I’m using tretinoin and hydroquinone for melasma so have to be a bit careful with the skincare.

@Nomorechocs that is possibly my favourite ever post. Absolutely love your honest comments!

And of you’re using tret, you probably already have some excellent moisturising and barrier protecting skincare in place. There are some really nice products in Harrods but you don’t need them. We all buy a lot on here but really that’s because it’s a hobby. We’ve only got one face and one body. And I’d hate for someone to spend money they haven’t got because of strangers on the internet.

@Nomorechocs Quite a few of us have more Medic8 C Tetra Advanced than we ought to. (Vinted GWP Fairy madness).

I love it, fairly sure we all love it too. No redness or irritation and lasts well. It’s a very good product, giving glowy, smooth skin.

But you can buy it without buying an AC.

@Nomorechocs I really like the AB eye cream. I got 2 from advents last year and will probably try to pick up one of these from Vinted (assuming I don't cave and buy the calendar). I would struggle to pay the RRP for it because it's a lot for an eye cream. The pot did seem to last quite a long time though.

Also loving your comments. @Nomorechocs . For the no idea you can also add the Gucci item whose inclusion as well as the eyelash curlers really annoys me, it just looks like some overpriced Vaseline
For the other items included . I am using the AB eye cream at the moment and really like it . Is it the best eye cream I have ever used? no, I am certain cheaper ones are just as good but I am enjoying using it
ditto the Medik8 vitamin C, my skin does like this but again also cheaper options available but this is a good product
I have used the EGF serum and like it but struggle to fit it in easily to a routine and not sure I am wowed enough by it , to be consistent with it
Valmont never used and I haven’t heard anyone raving about it ,the last one from the advent in 2024 I sold unused, it’s probably a nice product but can live without
the Cle de Peau looks like a posh primer . I would like to try this and it has spf in it I think which is always a good thing. This is the one item I would probably hunt down on Vinted as I am curious about it
Lyma 15ml face cream for £80 . Unless it is the elixir of youth is unlikely to be worth it . It’s probably Nivea with a great marketing team behind it

I’m really pleased there’s no elasticizer in the Harrods AC. That stuff is the Bayliss & Harding of hair stuff…bloody everywhere and irritating. PK still sneaking in with the shampoo/conditioner 😂

I’m pleased about the eyelash curlers. Mine need replacing. And I’m obsessed with eye creams, so yay for the selection 👏

@MrsBnow12 - just a word of warning re: GlossyBox - they make it almost impossible to cancel their subscriptions.

I signed up for a one month box only but they put me on a rolling 12 month subscription by mistake. I had to fight extremely hard to cancel. Then they tried to rope me back in by offering discounts once I had finally escaped!

It was genuinely quite stressful!

It’s a shame because their calendar last year was brilliant!
