💄 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’ve added boots skin to my list now. I have been fully influenced by these threads to potentially buy 6 calendars. I really hope they don’t all go on sale at the same time 🫤 I also love picking up edits too. I’m planning to make my sister and friend a calendar each based on things they like (sister make up, friend hair products) skin care and fragrance will be for me!

viccabelle · 17/08/2026 11:34

pinkchampagne1 · 17/08/2026 11:16

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

Thanks so much! I wish if been keeping log from the start. Having to backtrack but worth it as chat GPT knows so much about me it's coming out pretty accurate 🤣

IlovePond · 17/08/2026 11:45

Not interested at all - so far - in the Boots Luxe or FAC. The skincare looks the most interesting, but spot patches - again - and I avoid snail mucin due to my dust allergy. I will have to see what the rest of it is like.

I will have enough Advantage points by Xmas for a Boots calender for ‘free’, so it would be nice if my ‘real’ 2026 a/c were from Boots. (Real as opposed to my two DIY ones!)

I just forgot again about the S&G I have stashed 🙈I might just start opening it in September to cheer myself up!

I am the same and none of the Boots interest me, I have enough points for the skincare but am tempted to keep them and try get enough to get the showstoppper box instead as that has been quite good the last few years.

IlovePond · 17/08/2026 11:54

Agreed @MrsBnow12 - or I could always buy another brand from Boots.

HardyJadeTurtle · 17/08/2026 11:55

I just had an chat with customer service Selfridges and he confirmed 1 october for FAC, and no EU delivery

I'm not interested enough in any of the Boots AC to buy them although the luxe one seems nice so far. I don't have any Boots points left so not much incentive there.

RainbowZebraWarrior · 17/08/2026 12:08

Ooh, I just got the latest sneak peek from GB. Commodity Milk Orchid. That is an absolute Yes from me again. They never disappoint.

Like the look of Boots skincare, will be interesting to see what the other products are. But looking likely that i will buy it.

I like all of the GB reveals so far. Could it be my more "budget" buy 👀

NC543210 · 17/08/2026 12:20

GB is looking incredibly strong
Especially when you consider the price point.

Housewife2010 · 17/08/2026 12:20

I really liked the Boots Skincare AC last year. I bought it with 20% off, kept some and used some in my daughter's stocking.
I don't mind Elasticizer. My DODs are Sol de Janeiro, liquid eyeliner, brown lip liner and gourmand scents. I really dislike the current trend for heavily overlined lips and gourmand scents.

It was an amazing bargain last year and looks to be the same again this year. You can't really go wrong with it I don't think

I'm currently using that Medik8 serum and it's lovely. Not interested in the primer but a few more items I like will put that in my definitely maybe list.

Can you remember when it went to 20% off or was it an Advantage card offer?

I don't mind gourmand, sdj or brown lip liner too much.

Just checked my orders. It was 28th November.

🙄i forgot to ask the big Question

NC543210 · 17/08/2026 12:30

I think the Patrick TA blusher in GB also looks more wearable for the general population than the one in CB.

Agree. GB is top of my budget, don't need to think about too hard list.

I'm struggling a bit more with the top end. Looking likely to be CB at the moment but truthfully I don't need any of them. CB looks good on expensive serums this year so will be worth it on that score.

Sminty2 · 17/08/2026 12:42

I cannot remember what GB stands for.
Could someone please enlighten me? Thanks.

I really like the look of Boots skincare and I'm interested in Glossybox. I might just get both of those rather than a high end calendar (not counting Liberty because that was basically free and probably Selfridges as that's a birthday present 😅)

Thank you!
My old lady brain hit AC overload!

I’ll go and choose some Tulip bulbs for a while and then come back to beauty ♥️
