🎅 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 🩷

Check the thread photos as full contents have already been shared.

I'm also waiting for my delayed Anthropologie, GB and JL which is coming next weekend and I'm also very keen so see Diptyque and Harrods home fragrance. If neither appeal, I think I will get Neom and that's me done.

Edited to add that I really really want / needed Harrods home fragrance to be a decent price point. Fingers crossed. They haven't done one before have they? Just thinking that we have no previous price to compare.

@PlumRed I am also underwhelmed with this year's advents but I think its to be expected. I've bought advents, kits and edits consistently for years so its the mainly new products that appeal to me. Products like AB Rich Cream should be a treat but bore me now!
The Liberty calendar didn't appeal even though I have BD credit because I already have many of the products and had 6 out of the 8 perfumes.
I have been through all the beauty advent details and listed new products I'd like to try - SNK only has two for me (Hourglass liquid blush and the Phlur perfume).
I still have Sephora as a last hope for a BAC. Not sure where the details went as sure we had the full reveal at some point.

Fragance advents are a different story....I've ordered Harrods, want Selfridges and want to see HN and SNK too.

Love this 😁 Sounds like you had a great trip and I imagine you needed a few drinks after your stressful week.

Is there a waitlist for the Harrods HF do you know or will it be another bunfight. I’m expecting it to be in the £300 - £400 range . It’s frightening how much high end room fragrances/ candles are .

There's nothing on the app, so I have a feeling it will be a bun fight. Yeah, it's going to be pricey. I'm even more of a high end candle and home fragrance nut than I am a beauty addict, so this is why I'm attracted to this, but I'm still hoping for a bargain (as in £350 but worth £1000 type of bargain)

@MaryBD any chance you've got any inside info on Harrods home fragrance. All I know is that it was advertised in their magazine. Thanks in advance my lovely

I'm not sure there'll be 10% off Harrods BAC this year. Last year the calendar was full of minis so didn't sell that well. This year it has much better full sizes, so it may not have to be reduced.

I feel they might not reduce the calendar this year too. There was a 10% off beauty just before the release of the calendars this year and the 2024 advent (which was also a good one) sold out without any discount. This year the calendar is much better than last year’s

@RainbowZebraWarrior

Me too . I love high end candles .

Elle is available now but no news on the waitlist £10 off. Showing as £197.

There’s a YouTube from random lifestyle going through the products. It’s one of my favourites I think this year along with Elle.

Unfortunately, I haven’t heard anything about it yet, but that’s a good shout. I’ll ask them and let you know if they share any details 😉

Same here. For me it’s a lovely mix of new products, brands I love, and gift items. Perfecto 👌

Is the LF Grooming Calendar line up pretty much the same as last year?

Just looked at the official list of products in the Elle calendar and it does look good. I would say it is more impressive than SNK and nearly £90 cheaper. I would definitely go for it if it got reduced further

Did anyone sign up for Elle waitlist - I did, can't find any confirmation email and it's now available and no discount email?😫

This link has Elle for £187: https://www.hearstmagazines.co.uk/elle-beauty-advent-calendar-10-partnership?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=ree-instagram&utm_content=ree-elle-campaign&utm_campaign=ree-elle&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=448259&awc=2202_1788094081_58c80ab30b5628749281de5c33738180

Thank you!

I think Elle is available to purchase from 1st September so maybe they will email the discount then 🤔

It's available now

Thanks @powtonharris Just ordered Elle.

Oh I hadn’t realised we could order now. My email said it would be available from 1st so was thinking that was why I hadn’t had an email with discount yet

The link above works and gives the discount so £187.
I really wish they'd stop shoving niacinamide into everything though.

Thank you! It worked. All ordered.

I now have ordered Harrod BAC, Harrods hair and body, Glossybox and Elle.

I will order Liberty once I'm back off holiday.

I can’t wait to see the details of oh my cream although they are in my bad books after the GWP debacle.

I am really tempted by Elle as think it is amazing value for what it contains. Must not buy a second beauty calendar though 😵‍💫
