🎅 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 🩷

DD will be getting Cult Beauty special edition or Sephora.
I’m not taken by any so far, so will stick with Harrods BAC, FAC and Lbty BAC. Still hoping HN knock it out of the park (a swan song if you like) and will keep an eye on Brown Thomas for the full reveal as I’ve always loved it and this year might be the day trip year to get it.

I like RealRee’s unboxings, she’s quick and to the point. And no fake gasping! 🤣 ( which was very much present in SNK unboxing)

It's so weird about Fenwick, they have removed the blog post on their site about it too. It could have sold out if a limited amount, but why remove all the things about it, very strange.

CB isn't perfect but it has the most serums I want and a few make up type things I'm excited to try like the Vieve, DM setting spray, MUFE stick and RMS.

It's a bit haircare heavy but I like the K18 Airwash and I love the Gisou S&C. I'm using them at the moment and they work really well for my hair.

I like the perfumes. I do have a couple of them in travel size already but they're ones I like a lot. I'll keep most.

I will end up selling a few bits on but there's nothing in CB this year that made me think why on earth have you put that in there.

There's some smaller sizes but nothing feels like filler products to me. I think it's a solid offering that ticks enough boxes with a smattering of excitement for things I've not yet tried.

I completely agree. I've just gone through it again and I think I would use everything. The price is also reasonable. It's cheaper than John Lewis this year, so kudos to CB for a good offering. I had pretty much decided I wouldn't get one this year so that's a spanner in the works.

CB has a little too many travel sizes for me 🤷‍♀️ but I am LF and Beauty Drop subscriber so I am spoiled for travel sized beauty. Only my guess, but they are probably provided free by the brands to try them.

Yes, right. What are you waiting for 😃

Random Lifestyle Vlog has put up a full reveal of the M&S advent calendar. She has the cost and value the wrong way round though.

Do you remember when the cult beauty ac design came out and we were trying to guess spoilers from the little pictures? I think there was a dual brush and gisou lip gloss, neither are in the AC 🙄🤣

I’d get GB first £70 but I’m not a subscriber.
I think it’s Elle or Harrods but think Elle will be popular - so might be hard to get?
I’ll take a look at CB in case that’s a good reserve.

Influencers tell on themselves when they get excited by a CT wand or elasticiser lol

Fenwick calendar back online and has been reduced to £225
https://fenwick.co.uk/products/fenwick-te-fenwick-beauty-25-day-advent-calendar-2025

Oh it appears to be showing as out of stock but might be a glitch as it has only just gone back online 🤔

Weird!

That’s last year calendar - 2025

Just looked again and appears to be last year’s calendar. 😐 I just googled Fenwick calendar and that was the link that came up

Yes I have just noticed that. Got excited for a minute but that is the only Fenwick calendar link that worked. So you can still see last year’s calendar even though it must’ve been out of stock for months but this year’s has disappeared completely. This tells me it isn’t a stock issue 🤔

The Fenwick AC situation is very odd.

I think Fenwick is just temporary, probably for the beauty event money off. You’d think they’d be able to just exclude it but a surprising number of retailers seem to struggle with the execution of this.

Now this makes me think either mistake or something potentially legal. If it was the case that they were removing it because of the latest offer, they wouldn't have erased all trace.

Either way, it's got us all talking about it!

Ooooo. I don’t think I’ve had any of these things. Those cluster lashes do give me the heebie jeebies though. Maybe it’s time to face my fears and give them a bash.

Thanks for sharing @ShineDespiteEverything

I might be being dumb but I'm trying to get on the OK Beauty priority list and can find a page explaining why I should be on it but can't see a link anywhere to join it (I've tried Chrome and Bing browsers). Any ideas?! https://www.okbeautybox.co.uk/pages/advent-priority-list-2026

It’s on the far right hand side of the main central image for me, when viewing on a tablet. HTH

@Thelifeofawife brilliant work on the new thread - thank you!! 🙏🙌

@JoRaRaRa and @RainbowZebraWarrior ive been offline for a few days and just catching up on everything. Hope you’re both doing ok - sending loads of love and hugs 💜

@Doglover73 💔💐 I’ve DMd you

it works when going through Mary’s link

I’ve just received my replacement Reome broth from liberty.
The writing on the front of the bottle has started to rub off, and on the back is a label with £5.00 on it. It looks old. If it hadn’t came from liberty I would have thought it was a fake. Not sure how I feel about this.
