💄 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 😄)

Harrods is now the only one left on my list - if I’m going to get a high-end one this year.

Does anyone know if they give any warning when it’s close to selling out, or is it just a sudden ‘bad luck, you’re too late!’?

I remember getting one or two low stock warning emails last year. They turned out to be a little premature but at some point they did a 20 quid discount then it did sell out.

Nearlyadoctor · 24/08/2026 19:04

A couple more spoilers from GB - we already knew about the Milk Orchid 😊

This one is definitely more interesting to me so far than SNK.

I get the feeling I may not go for Glossybox after all. I already own Milk Orchid and I'm not getting it just for a PT blush. I'm determined to be better than that this year. That was the old me. 😂

Nearlyadoctor · 24/08/2026 19:12

£9.75 from Amazon or £89 if bought direct 🤷‍♀️

I think it's one of those made for beauty box brands that inflate the RRP. Like Avant. The products aren't necessarily terrible but they exist to massage the value of boxes.

XEmeraldx · 24/08/2026 19:17

ShineDespiteEverything · 24/08/2026 18:44

I am disappointed with SNK. How are they able to charge £275 for this curation is a mystery to me. Full of old releases, cheap brands and travel sizes. They can’t even give us a full size of PK and their own shower gel 😩I’ve received bigger items for free as gwp. A few nice products in the mix but not enough to justify the spend for me.

Harrods is £5 less and has £500 more value. I’m leaning towards it, but will wait for Sephora and Harvey Nichols reveals.

When I saw the shower gel I was the same. I mean at least throw in a full size. Last year the own brand mini body lotion as well 🙄

Nomorechocs · 24/08/2026 19:23

Do you think if I bought the SpaceNK one and sold all the products, I’d make my money back and have the beautiful box? Maybe I’l just buy the box on Vinted.

I’m buying the Harrods BAC.

Advententhusiast · 24/08/2026 19:27

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 🙏🏻

Or get it from Vinted instead?

SunnyPinkMoose · 24/08/2026 19:31

I’m going to hang fire , for niche and oh my cream ( also hate the name it gives me the ick)
but if I get the Harrods email ( that never happens) or lovely Mary gives me a heads up on the 20 pounds off I’m going for that one . I’ve decided that I am in it for the skin care . The best make up piece I have ever got was the chantcaille gel blush in last years Liberty I think or maybe SPNK the year before .

BookShark · 24/08/2026 19:31

That's confirmed my decision to pass on SNK.

I'm waiting for the full CB release, but otherwise I think it's between Fenwick and Elle for my second one. Copilot tells me Elle is better for me and I could just save the price difference for something specific, but that Fenwick will be a more premium selection to try something new - which is no help as I'd already come to that conclusion myself!

OvaHere · 24/08/2026 19:34

As @JoRaRaRa isn't around at the min I'll ask if anyone wants to volunteer for the next thread?

We've got a 2/3 pages left but it might take a while to set up the OP. I think some of the links from this OP weren't working and we've had more reveals since.

Hadenough2022 · 24/08/2026 19:34

SNK nice box but too many lip products. I don’t want hair perfume, black eyeliner either or the Charlotte Tilbury product that I’ve got 2 of.

Advententhusiast · 24/08/2026 19:37

Benny12 · 24/08/2026 19:05

just watched the space nk unboxing …it was a nice unboxing and i began to get carried away and think i might want it ….but £275 for pk, ct , eyelash curlers , 4/5 lip products ? I have given myself a slap and come back down to earth ….also having just input into my growing advent calendar spreadsheet …the computer says no …

The computer is right. It's still a dud lol

XEmeraldx · 24/08/2026 19:17

When I saw the shower gel I was the same. I mean at least throw in a full size. Last year the own brand mini body lotion as well 🙄

The full size Space NK bubble bath is 500 ml which would have required a very large drawer. I'm fine with the 100 ml (I save them for a treat when travelling), but it would have been nice to pop in the matching body oil/lotion in the same drawer. The Nordic Wilds scent is gorgeous - I've bought it a few times since discovering the shower gel in the 2024 calendar.

Hicupping · 24/08/2026 19:48

The reviews are getting pretty brutal on Youtube for SNK

Hadenough2022 · 24/08/2026 19:51

I’ve looked again at the Elle calendar I think it’s a definite contender for me. All the skincare I want and no eyelash curler

autumncrumbling · 24/08/2026 19:52

Relieved - SNK not that tempting. Solid but can pass, phew!

To the Vinted she runs to find this blush 🏃‍♀️😃 love Chantecaille, would’ve been nice to see this brand featured in this year’s calendars.

Nomorechocs · 24/08/2026 20:00

@Advententhusiast @Hadenough2022 I like Elle - I think I will go for it. Seems like I’m getting 5. But 156 items costing JUST £7.25 per item! What a bargain right?!

SunnyPinkMoose · 24/08/2026 20:05

@OvaHere I would love to do the thread but do not have a scooby doo I’m sorry . 🥴🤦🏻‍♀️

I was looking a little while ago and people were still selling those blushes from the 2024 advent. You could sort of tell as there was a lot and all the same shade (I was looking for a different shade with no luck). People were asking too much for something that came from an advent nearly 2 years back imo.

Don't worry. If there's no volunteer by page 38 I'll get on and set it up. I'm not doing anything pressing this eve.
