🎅 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 hope I’ve captured everything 🩷

Glossybox is an easy pass for me. I feel like this time last year we'd had more reveals 🤔 I'm looking forward to @MaryBD 's content list though.

Hmmm. I knew the rest of the reveals would be fillers, but my goodness, this really is the year of the eyelash curlers, eh?

Glossybox is a no from me too. I don't think I'll end up with as many ACs as I originally thought at this rate 🙈

Glossybox is an easy pass from me too

They must think after all the lash serums last year, we now all have to curl our extra long lashes 🤣

I'm struggling with a BAC this year. CB is still a contender for now. If that's a no on full reveal I might fall back on Harrods. There's definitely things in Harrods I'd like but I don't know if there's quite enough I want for the 275 price tag. Ditto SpaceNK.

I don't want to be BAC-less though. I'll feel sad in December and the FAC I've bought is only 12 days.

There's still Niche Beauty to announce, which I wanted last year. Assuming they do one. Oh My Cream seems worth a look based on hints so far.

Well the two people who would've benefitted from my AC purchases are with me on a holiday in lake district. One of them said I talk too loud first thing in the morning. Another one has said no wonder people dont like me.AIBU No more goody bags then?

Oh no, that doesn't sound too nice 😔 I agree, maybe don't spoil them with AC goody bags this year, although I've got a feeling part of you enjoys doing them though 😉 I hope you're still enjoying your trip to the Lake District 🩷

Definitely no treats for those two!! Hope you’re still having a nice break

Ooh good spot. Trying to work out some of the products beyond what we know. Can see a mbm mascara, spectrum brush set, a red? Lipliner bah. A 19/99 highlighter stick, beauty works shampoo and conditioner, gem fragrance mist, Aveeno (hand?) Cream, Anatomicals product, paradox growth hair mask, beauty pro warming eye mask, beauty crop oui cherie setting mist, Avant? Maybe an eye cream, super facialist cleanser, hello skin (eye patches?)then what appears to be a nail Polish, lip oil and eyeliner. I'm not overjoyed but lots would get used and considering the patrick ta, Medik8 and the perfume more than covers the price, still feel a bit tempted.

Not even out of August and already I've received and opened 2 advent calendars - Liberty and Fenwick. I'm getting a bit fatigued - have seen quite a few of the products before - so will focus more on fragrance calendars this season. Makes it easier for me to sell on what I don't want as there's more I don't want. So far made back around £100 on Liberty. Haven't listed the Fenwick yet, except the amouage guidance which I already have and sold it straight away.

Hmm, looking at Glossybox I only really want the perfume and blushes. It's good value but it's a bit uninspiring from first look. I've a feeling I'd forget to open it most days. I could use the money for the JL FAC I suppose, or look at the ones around the £200 mark 🤔

Well, thats me tapping out of GB as well. Bummer. The orchid one isnt available over here so cannot test it. Too much of a risk.

I regretted not buying the GB last year. I was too late.

If im getting more BACs its probably when its on sale.

Now awaiting Skins, Space NK frag, Bijenkorf Frag, LF, CB reveal and hopefully we are getting a HN but who knows

Detective work alert. We can be excited about CB again.

I found the CB video with REN. I believe it's an AI fake.
https://www.tiktok.com/@anto_beauty_and_co/video/7676402250259975457

Reasons

Some of the products look 'off' in size and design - the Laneige Cream Skin and CT Mist.

CB already revealed the Huda lip liner and Hourglass lipstick which is missing and replaced in this photo with a CT lipstick and pillow talk liner.

Biggest tell is if you look closely at the WA mascara there's a second mascara wand growing out of the top of the tube. Also the size of the PT blush is off and doesn't have the PT embossing in the powder.

Oh, good to know. Hopefully, they get a move on with the reveal.

GB is a pass from me as well - Harrods is firmly the front runner at the moment

@OvaHere Good detective work - I agree it looks like a fake reveal. Remaining hopeful, despite me still having a ban on CB after my debacle earlier in the year

@JoRaRaRa Is this you? Nice work claiming they are PR parcels 🤣

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZN8NspeMX/

Good work @OvaHere I think we are all trying to embrace AI, but it's a total menace really.

I am now getting lost off with what's real and what's not. I think I still feel that GB is a good deal for me, but I need to check my stash and make sure I just don't get carried away.

I think a lot of the BAC curators assume we will jump in case we miss out, but the sneak peaks and fake peaks really aren't helping them or us.

BAC have definitely passed post peak, now. Still very exciting and interesting, but also a market that is absolutely saturated.

Anyone know the price of glossy box? I’ve just had an email saying it’s live at 12om tomorrow and it’s £75 for subscribers but no mention of the non subscriber price.

@OvaHere brilliant detective work 🧐 hopefully it means we can cheer and it's not that she has seen someone else unbox it and is trying to get in on early reveal action 🤞🏻

@Thelifeofawife oh wow! That does look a bit like my dining table at the moment with all the boxes stacked high. I might start using that excuse with my husband though 🤣

@Beautyfox I think its £90.

It’s £90 for non subscribers and should be available on Friday

The email says 12pm tomorrow. There’s a 17 hour countdown on it.

im quite tempted at £90. I like the medik8 a lot and that uses up a lot of the £90 value.

Is it just me or does the commodity milk perfume look tiny in the glossy box calendar? Was initially interested but not if it is 10-15ml
