🎅 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 received the same confirmation. It looks like the payment went through.

Yes I also received that email

Ooh, thank you. I’m quite tempted even at full price but I might wait. There’s very few luxury skin care items I buy outside of acs and edits but I do buy the Elemis cleansing balm and love their moisturisers so it works out really good value.

BAC. She mentioned FAC and they said they are not sure about that but they good quantities of BAC left.

was you all able to order the boots fragrance advent ok? I tried ordering and it says I didnt pass security checks? I have been a boots customer for 29 years. Very confused.

Thanks @ElizabethG81ive gone for it. It couldn’t be more perfect for my husband. (To be fair, I’d be thrilled to receive this myself!)

Thanks both - definitely no email for me so far. Hmmmm. I'll investigate better this evening - work is getting in the way of advent shopping 😂

Just when I had decided against the Harrods BAC, I watched ReallyRee do a GRWM using the products and now I want it again ….

I was working so missed all the advent excitement. Just as well, as otherwise I suspect I would have been caught up in the HFAC excitement and ended up buying instore!

I have the Harrods app and notifications set, but received nothing about the calendars going on sale in store. The only reason I know about it is this thread!

Selfridges BAC is now saying Out of stock! Surely they will be releasing more?

Ok got the Harrods and the lookfantastic, would have liked the selfridges but am on holiday so annoyingly missed release - so will keep an eye out if it comes back into stock as I’m not heading into Birmingham.

last for me will be space NK unless Sephora’s release looks a lot better. Just checking we still don’t have details for that one?

This seems to happen with Selfridges every year, it shows as OOS but then regularly comes back in stock.

Yes I recall last year they were still in stock until quite late in the season. Although I didn’t fancy last years

Yeah I noticed they had messed that up, but recognised the Amber colouring of Cosy Nights as soon as I saw it. Worst come to worst, QVC have excellent customer service.

Has anyone set up a new thread as this one is nearly full?

Selfridges BAC comes in waves

@MrsBnow12 - as we are 8 posts away from fullness I will have a go, but please forgive me if it’s a bit rubbish.

So that I can link it on this thread, please could people give me a few minutes before posting on here. If it fills up before I have done it, I won’t be able to do a link!

Bear with me…

I ordered at 9am UK time and so far fingers crossed no cancellation. I really hope they don’t cancel it because I chose to go for that over Selfridges BAC which is now OOS so I’ll be really cross!

Yes mine was cancelled from JL so I ordered from Boots but my order didnt go through. Apparently I failed security (despite my bank approving payment) I can no longer order from Boots which is frustrating considering I have been a customer for decades

Here is the new thread - apologies in advance for any mistakes - I was trying to be quick before the thread filled up and I lost you all!

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/style_and_beauty/5573529-beauty-advent-calendar-chat-and-spoilers-thread-6

Hmm, the QVC Neom offer is tempting, but £78 could also be a decent chunk towards the Harrods home fragrance calendar...🤔

Thank you @IlovePond and a reminder for everyone to move over to the new thread now 🥳
