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 😄)

And @OvaHere

I really quite liked the yepoda products, but it has put me off that they're formulated for UK based on what they think Korean products should be. Might not bother you, but it did me!

I believe they're actually a German company. I'm sure I read that somewhere.

autumncrumbling · 24/08/2026 14:32

ooooh this has moved fast / looking forward
to SNK drop!

Housewife2010 · 24/08/2026 15:38

I think dinner may be a little late tonight. I need to prioritise the Space NK unboxing & watch it on the telly. - Even though I know what's in it from the deleted reveals a couple of weeks back.

I had temporarily forgotten that!

I’ll see if I can get the case on vinted after release…though I’d want to see what size it is!

IlovePond · 24/08/2026 15:48

I agree @HollyGolightly4

Edited to say: Government recall - blooming heck!

IlovePond · 24/08/2026 15:58

Re: Next

I am wary of buying beauty products from Next after Miss Boux’s expose of their beauty boxes a few months ago - products were years out of date. It put me right off buying from then!

HollyGolightly4 · 24/08/2026 16:02

HolidayHattie · 24/08/2026 13:49

If anyone got the 2025 Yepoda and hasn't used the Cocoa Cloud Body Butter: don't!

Product Recall: Yepoda The Cocoa Cloud Body Butter in 2025 Yepoda Advent Calendar (2512-0021) - GOV.UK share.google/Ph6tTxRtyQ2tuCGDA

Wow! That is poor.

😱 Need to go and watch it!

Caggie09 · 24/08/2026 16:08

Looking foward to the SNK unboxing at 6pm. I think once you see an unboxing it gives you a better idea of yay or nay!

Advententhusiast · 24/08/2026 16:11

nearly61 · 24/08/2026 12:28

Ooh I’ve just an email about lookfantastic- the photo seems to show all the perfumes in the fragrance advent but it’s not showing on the website.
Maybe everyone else already knew these- I can be very slow on the uptake sometimes 😂

Why didnt I get an email 🤔

I swear ive put different email adresses in it multiple times. For some reason I always get these with an extreme delay

Noadded · 24/08/2026 16:18

Just asked my sister if she wants me to get her the 12-day Harrods AC for her Xmas pressie and she said yes. Exciting, I get to buy another AC without it being for me and I get to watch her unwrap the stuff (we both open all the drawers on Xmas day and she’s at my house this year yay).

Willow742 · 24/08/2026 17:56

The most annoying thing about having a vinted account with selling suspended - you can't read any of your notifications! I can see they're there, it shows a number, but there are no updates to be seen so I can't see when the people I follow list things, or when something I've favourited drops in price/sells 🤦🏻‍♀️ well and truly sitting in the naughty corner over here.

Sitting nicely now waiting for the SNK video to start 😇

Housewife2010 · 24/08/2026 18:00

Ready & waiting! Come on Space NK.

Housewife2010 · 24/08/2026 18:01

An extra 2 minutes isn't fair. 🤣

Beautyfox · 24/08/2026 18:01

Feels a bit like play school styling atm!

ClutteredPalace · 24/08/2026 18:02

I dont know why I'm waiting for SNK, I know I don't want it. I need to make sure though.

Housewife2010 · 24/08/2026 18:04

Very pretty box

Willow742 · 24/08/2026 18:04

ClutteredPalace · 24/08/2026 18:02

I dont know why I'm waiting for SNK, I know I don't want it. I need to make sure though.

Me too! And so far I'm just annoyed 🤣 the nonsense bag thing has done my head in this week

Willow742 · 24/08/2026 18:11

Oh ffs the fragranced skin rocks cleansing balm 😮‍💨 I wanted that so badly in last year's calendar. This unboxing is making me want it much more than the leaked pictures.

I think I'm getting SpaceNK. Pray for me 🙏🏻

Beautyfox · 24/08/2026 18:11

“All time favourites” PK. I just burst out laughing!

ClutteredPalace · 24/08/2026 18:22

It looks a lot better in the unboxing. I was almost tempted but so much of the make up looks like it would suit warm skin tones better than cool.

SummerLimes · 24/08/2026 18:23

Hope BD posts a list 😊 Im too inpatient to watch a video .

Addictedtobeauty · 24/08/2026 18:23

Too many lip products, bloody PK and CT, was that three blushes? Two mascaras and the dreaded curlers.
There were some lovely things mixed in too but on the whole, it’s a no from me.

XEmeraldx · 24/08/2026 18:25

I enjoyed the spaceNK unboxing. It is a step down from last year in my view, but still a really good variety.

when I saw the elasticiser I was like; omg here we go, but it got quite a bit better from there.

I don’t get on with the Refy curved mascara, but I will give that away. It’s probably a yes from me due to some new brands I want to try like Saltair, good lip products and two heavy hitter skincare options Medik8 and Sunday Riley 💯

Housewife2010 · 24/08/2026 18:25

I really like it. My only DOD's are most of the hair products - although I do like Elasticizer now.
The Lisa Eldridge product is disappointing for me - I would have loved one of her palettes for Christmas Day - or just a lucent lipstick or shimmery liquid eyeshadow. I have the Tilbury already.
Lots of very good products for me. I'll sell the ones I don't want beforehand & replace them with the AC ones I've been coveting - mainly perfume.
