🎅 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 😄)

Thank you for the new thread @JoRaRaRa. I was offline yesterday so I’m just catching up. I can’t believe how quickly these threads fill up. It’s all very exciting.

thanks to this thread I have currently purchased 2 Harrods, BAC and hair and body. I will purchase Liberty when I know I will be home for delivery. I’m very interested in F&M, I’m quite tempted by Vogue. CB looks interesting so far. I have discounted selfridges (although the FAC is a different story), JL and if the reveals of SNK are true that’s not for me either. Although I can’t miss a bargain so if any are reduced I would NEED them all.

edited to add: there’s a sneak peak for Sephora and the waitlist is open. Apologies if already posted

Oohh thanks for that @Nomorechocs I like the look of most of those products.

Think as an LF member I get £10 off. With £20 of beauty points too, it’s looking promising.

SheilaFentiman · 17/08/2026 09:40

Sephora available instore from 7th Sept!

SheilaFentiman · 17/08/2026 09:51

Ooh, Mary's spoilers for the Boots Skincare look good!

Mine is always encouraging me to spend more 🤣

Mine told me I need adult supervision when it comes to buying beauty products 🫣

JoRaRaRa · 17/08/2026 10:15

I wonder if one of the final perfumes in the boots scent calendar will be a Jo Malone with them just launching there 🤔 The Estée Lauder Glimmer is gorgeous, I have a sample that I've been using. Nothing special though. I love Givenchy but I have a full bottle. I have quite a lot of the fragrances in the Boots calendar and those I don't have, I'm not too fussed about so I doubt I'll be getting that one. Now Look Fantastic ....

@MaryBD you have Givenchy listed twice on the boots scent AC.

I think this year I'll probably get youngest DD the Sephora.
Eldest DD maybe cult beauty if I like the rest and think she will.

Interested to see what GB bring out.

Got to admit disappointed in the snk. I've had it the last few years. Would like to try the new medik8 serum but seems silly to get it if that's all that takes my fancy.

Has there been any reveals on the boots ones this year? I'm not keeping up well
I was really impressed with them last year and bought a couple for stocking fillers. I have a feeling boots is going to be good this year.

Also this thread is speedy. Haha

I do keep seeing things online that say the snk leak was intended and it isn't what is included.

I hope so
As they have Philip Kingsley, Charlotte sodding Tilbury and color wow and I feel like they've all been done to death.

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 17/08/2026 10:36

From what we can see so far the Boots 24 Days of Skin appears to be quite Korean heavy.

I thought it seemed quite typical of SNK content based on brands from previous years. If those were the contents I don't think it's a bad calendar just not enough specific products that would make it worth it for me.

Not too long for the proper reveal now - beginning of next week maybe?

NC543210 · 17/08/2026 10:41

Oooo okay
I do like Korean skincare a little but my youngest absolutely loves it. Maybe a move from Sephora to that for her as she's fair. Very fair. Translucent almost haha and was just looking at the colours in the Sephora and I think a lot will be too warm for her.

Thanks for the links 🥰

I feel like last year had quite a bit of k beauty too.

ElizabethG81 · 17/08/2026 10:44

I thought the official SNK reveal was either tomorrow or Wednesday?

OvaHere · 17/08/2026 10:41

Yes if definitely did. I bought it a little later than the other ACs and used it for stocking fillers and it was Korean heavy.

ElizabethG81 · 17/08/2026 10:45

Remember last year SNK had an article on their own website speculating about what would be in the calendar? And then none of their guesses were? Bizarre behaviour 😂

Yes you're right. Usually there are a few things that make it worth it. Other than the medik8 I feel a bit meh about this one.

Hoping they do a good fac this year.

This seems to be the basis on people speculating that this years leak was intentional and not what they have planned.

We will see. I mean a couple of the yearly appearances I actually enjoy Phlur etc
But I have such a stash of Philip Kingsley and sdj already.

Ooh. For the first time ever, I am drawn to a Boots one. The skin one looks great. I always assume they will be full of their own ranges and I never did get on with their protect and perfect or whatever its called range.

MosquitoMagnet · 17/08/2026 10:57

The Boots Skin looks potentially good for me. I'm partial to their cheap K Beauty boxes also so probably don't need any more but it's Christmas!

I like the look of the perfume too but I seem to get Floral Street Almond quite often. I like the smell but might have to bath in it at this rate

viccabelle · 17/08/2026 11:14

Does any one happen to have the full breakdown of SNK? I am doing my chat gpt supported run down and didn't save the contents before it was removed but I am sure someone will have 🤞

Someone listed them on the last thread - think around page 23
