🎅 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 🩷

I haven't ordered a single BAC yet. I even turned down DSis offer of the Harrods BAC for Christmas and asked for the Bonne Maman one instead. I seem to have beauty and fragrance fatigue (but I still love the threads 😍)

I have ordered Laithwaites and Degusta Advents, so I will have some doors to open during December.

How exciting, I wish I could make up my mind!
I thoroughly enjoyed that SDJ shower oil, I’m sure you will love the calendar.

Need to look at Selfridges and add it to my spreadsheet. I've already bought a few bits from Liberty, so they will be filling the gaps for what I sell from SNK.

@Doglover73 - I’m sorry for the loss of your Mum. My first ever BAC was when my mum died. I was in M&S buying a jacket for my DS to wear for the funeral and the sales assistant asked if I wanted the calendar. I initially said no as it felt a bit frivolous and disrespectful but I remembered my Mum loved make up and skin care and would have loved it! So I got it and really enjoyed opening it every morning and thinking of how much she’d have loved it.

I’m enjoying the threads as always but am not being swayed. So far. I have way too much skin care and am currently still trying to get my skin to calm down after reacting to something. Or a few things! All my face seems to be tolerating is Cetaphil moisturiser which I got in last year’s Boots Skin calendar!

If I do get one it might be The White Company.

Selfridges just okaaaay….
The terrible burgundy eyeshadow 😱

I actually really like that, it takes me back to my 90's goth era 😂😂😂

@ClutteredPalace
Ha! Definitely got Goth vibes. Whereas if I wore it, I would look as if I’d been in a fight.

I'm a bit disappointed it's not one of the shimmery ones. It would be too dark for me.

this will be my first beauty advent and I was hoping to treat myself to the snk one but after last nights unboxing I’ve change my mind. I am now thinking about the Sephora one but there’s a few makeup bits I won’t use do these normally sell okay on vinted? Or is vinted flooded with them at Christmas? I guess if they come in the original packaging I could keep a few bits to give to my niece for Christmas

That would definitely be more wearable. I'll have to see what it's like on but if it's too dark I can always save it for Halloween 😂🎃

It's my favourite SDJ scent. The shower oil, the body butter and the spray are 👌👌👌

Marks and Spencers full spoilers (sorry if already posted)
https://beauty-detective.com/marks-spencer-beauty-advent-calendar-2026/

It's my favourite sdj scent too, it's gorgeous 😍

Well thankfully they've deviated from the usual script this year. But doesn't feel worth £75 to me. It contains Elasticizer - of course it does. I have one of those sweed lipsticks I really like it. I think this will be quite popular.

Thanks. It's not one that I want but a nice enough selection (except PK) for the money.

I'm getting increasingly hacked off with CB. Last year there was a full unboxing on Youtube by the 22nd Aug.

My first ever beauty advent was last year and was JL. I really enjoyed it! I didn't look at any unboxings as wanted the surprise each day.

I decided I really wanted Cult beauty for 2026 as was too late that year.

I've already ordered the JL one for £225 with my discount offer, but I am now not sure if I should also get the cult beauty one or not. Waiting on full reveal, but not getting same vibes off it this year. Hoping I do love it when it comes out!

It’s the 17th anniversary today of my lovely Mum’s death. I have many lovely memories of her. I remember going to Harrods with her many years ago and we both bought the Estée Lauder Christmas make-up box. Thereafter, she bought it for me every year and when she died my Dad took over. They were wonderful parents and I miss them both.

I think that's quite well curated, lots of different products for skin, hair, make-up, and a perfume. It's a proper top to toe range of products. I'm not tempted myself as I have too much stuff, but I think a lot of M&S customers might like it, especially if they can use their Sparks vouchers towards it.

I’ve watched the YouTube spoilers. I don’t like the shades of lipstick or blush, but love everything else, so the others will be the decider for me, but it feels like such a waste to buy it if I’m not going to use the blush or lipstick

I agree… I wish they would hurry up with the reveal

It has just occurred to me that the little bag charm thingy wasn’t actually included in the SNK calendar

Yeah, as we approach September, I think all reveals should really be done.

Me too! Why give loads of spoilers and then go silent! It's like a bad boyfriend 🙈🤣

Thanks, @JoRaRaRa

I am a bit grrr that the Floral Street is one I don't like in the M+S. Maybe I will just have my 17 cosmetics one and see what bargains I can pick up for jadvent/badvent in 2027!!
