🎅 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 🩷

Same! I don't really want to pay more for it from a reseller, but I really really really want it 🤣

JL fragrance now sold out.

@ShineDespiteEverything same, not received anything and even when I'm signed in on the app, I can't see anything about the calendar. Doesn't give me much hope of getting the fac. We'll just have to hope that someone on here lets us know 😭

I wondered why it was showing error on page.
Oh well. Was just looking to see if interested. Ive not bought an advent yet as i have a considerable stash i need to sort out after a year or 2 of overspending. 🤣
Tbh they aren't exciting me. I need new products not loads ive tried. Liberty mens is poor imo. ♥️

Selfridges had 4k people ahead of me, managed to buy it but really pissed off at having to pay 7 quid postage, reminded me why I never buy from there.

So was the Harrods pre-order or is that it for online now.

I am gutted. I was hoping the selfridges FAC dropped today so I could make my mind up! it was such good value for money...seems like they started with a small amount of stock or didn't expect the demand.

Surely I’d think it will come back for the promised 21st September. They are probably releasing it in stages.

I hope so! Fingers crossed

I wonder if the JL FAC was a mistake 🤔 I think it might come back into stock the day it's meant to release.

This is so random isn’t it!! Hopefully more BACs online in a few days then, otherwise it just wasn’t meant to be for me!! Thanks for the update!

maybe it will drop online at 10 …it dropped online between 10-10.15 the last time

I ended up buying the unlimited free postage for a year, it wasn't much more than normal postage. I only found the calendar was live by accident as I was looking at other calendars on the same page and clicked on it on the off chance. The email to say it was live came through an hour later.

Are we expecting SNK today? 🤔

I hope not as I've already made three purchases today and my poor credit card needs a rest!

I think I’m disappointed with the Liberty men’s calendar but might get it if it’s reduced later. But after four years of the main liberty calendar with an almost identical box each year, I would really love the men’s box. Csn anyone remember if there was another fragrance edit last year in the autumn? Im reluctant to use my BD credit if there might be another one.

The last fragrance edit for Liberty is still available and that's a good one. Search on kit on liberty site.

ReallyRee said on a live last night, SNK launched on the 9th of Sept last year. If thats the case for this year, will be next Wed.

Yes, there was one in October. No guarantee that there will be one this year, though.

Harrods BAC is showing as in stock again. Must've been a little blip.
https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/p/harrods-of-london-the-harrods-beauty-advent-calendar-2026-000000000000284475

Harrods beauty is still in stock on the app. No sign of the fragrance one though.

Think I'm taking the plunge with LF FAC. It's absolutely brilliant for me / Mum / DD and it will be great to share the spoils.

Is TopCashback my only hope of clawing a bit of money back? (I don't have any points or whatever) Was hoping for an influencer code.

Only just received my email to say Selfridge's is live 🙄

There were a number of edits in October. I know as i was on a rare trip to London and had to stagger back with them all! There was the violette fr kit, a sleep one a man's one and a women's one. I remember getting 4 from store. My in laws were bemused.

I've been refreshing things all night long (if feels like) then dozed off and totally missed the JL FAC. I hadn't even desperately wanted it (my notes say "looks ok but not amazing") but now I'm really sad to have missed out.

That and the sell-out (?) of Harrods has made me order the Fortnum's one, because that's the one I really wanted, so I've committed now.
