🎅 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 🩷

Does anybody know when Sephora will release what’s inside their calendar this year?

Agree re the setting sprays!
Right now, I’m erring towards both LFs.
Some of the products revealed in the beauty are my ride or dies and I love the fact that the fragrance has 24 and not 12 doors.
Waiting impatiently for all the LF beauty to be revealed….

Not sure when the official release is but if you search a few pages back I reposted the screenshots of the leaked contents list. There's also a few youtube videos that captured it.

Yes, i do. I think this has firmly cemented Elle for me now.

Huh. I am really pleasantly surprised by CB. I'll need to go through it properly but it's definitely worth a closer look for me. I like setting sprays and am keen to try more Danessa Myricks stuff, it's a newish brand for me. I don't really style my hair so lots of hair products puts me off, but shampoo/dry shampoo/heat protection is always welcome. I like the fragrance selection well enough. I like Angel's Share, the others are new to me but don't seem too overpowering and are a good trial size.

Thank you for sharing this. I’m also attracted to the JL due to the very reasonable price point!

I'm finding myself trying to convince myself to choose another calendar when I am covered with Liberty and Harrods BAC/FAC for skincare and perfume. I did want to try some nice makeup such as the mario palette/patrick ta blush and some k18 products but I am thinking buying on Vinted may be better than having a load of products sitting around that i won't get to. Does anyone know when the SNK GWP is out as i may look at that to buy some nice makeup goodies and fill an advent with those and the gift

How much is the Selfridges fragrance one?

They haven't confirmed it yet but there have been rumours on these these threads that it might be £399! I would go for it if under £300 but not £399 - I'd rather than Diptyque in that case!

CB is also out for me I think. The limited one seems a bit better on first glance.

So... i went to De Bijenkorf. Got myself the advent yay. They had a mistake on their website and it has Ex Nihio Jungle fever in there instead of the Fleur Narcotique which I am really happy with.

But I just checked the website and it sold out online. Within 24 hours. What the fudge is happening. Normally that thing lasts for 2 months. It did say to fill in your email for when new stock is available. Although it never comes into stock again.

At least I bagged one

Glossybox out:
www.glossybox.co.uk/p/beauty-box/glossybox-2026-advent-calendar-worth-over-645/17691528/?utm_content=hm-ccba80c3&utm_source=uk-20260827-waitlist-advent-launch&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=uk-20260827-waitlist-advent-launch&affil=thgemail&ecrmcid=paA1o5BPN4zRvDANNRW3MqlZLKe2dDXE&shae=5G%2BbKSV6E6r%2F3fQeIP79eXYZIfnVVW%2BmR%2FV9zkhJ4oY%3D&enableOpenTracking&sendTime=1787828400

I’ve been going back and forth on getting Glossybox since seeing the reveal last night. I’m only interested in the commodity fragrance and medik8. I just looked on the app and it was £70 when I added to my basket so I’ve bought it. I’ll sale or give away all the products I don’t want.

I'm relieved, I don't think I want CB. I need to look at it more closely but im circling back round to Harrods, providing it's still in stock tomorrow. I think I've gone through a phase of wanting every calendar at this point! 😂 It looks like it's going to be Liberty, Selfridges, Harrods FAC then hopefully Selfridges FAC and Harrods BAC. I think.

Is anyone else just not sure? I was hoping one would wow me - possibly my disappointment is increased by beauty fatigue 😂. I’m more tempted by vogue or f&m for a bit of a mix bag different selection now. Last year I got one for myself and one for my dd but she’s also not set on any particular one either. Or maybe I should get some edits/gwps and make my own. Or abandon this year in a humbug 😂😂😂

More OK! Beauty reveals 😊

Good lord that’s extortionate!

There is a price difference between the two. The special version is £30 dearer.

I have credit for cult beauty, so I'll probably buy the signature version. I don't really like the sdj mist, angels share or escentric molecules and I've just bought 2 ts bottles of the Fugazzi from vinted so I don't need that. I'm not always a big fan of kayali so I'm not sure the special version without the Augustinus Bader is worth the extra £30 for me. With the £20 voucher and the £45 credit I have, it makes it £180 in girl maths 🥳

£399 is just a rumour at the moment, it's not confirmed. It could be more, could be less and we have no idea when it's being released 🤣

True!!!
Im on a lower budget this year so couldn’t really consider anything around the £300 price range, eeek!

OK! Beauty is £98 with pre-order (or £89 if you’re were l lucky to sign up first).

At this price it’s quite a nice contender for Glossybox 👀

Also here are old spoilers if anyone missed it

Me too. Decided I'm going for the special edition. There's enough in there that I know I like and interests me and not a whole lot I'd be selling or passing on.

I will probably try to pick up the odd item from other calendars resale but at the moment not planning to purchase a 2nd BAC.

Didn't realise there's a price difference. I need to look again at both. I think I want the special but we'll see.

Agree. I have akways wanted a Diptyque or a PDM so looking out for those

I don't think there is actually. Chatgpt told me it was 🤣🤣

Oh dear I'm not a subscribers and it's giving me the discount anyway. What to do what to do. I really want the Patrick Ta, the milk and the medik8 is a no brainer and this justifies the cost right???
