🎅 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 🩷

It’s a good review and it’s now back on my list. I think I need to decide by end of next week.

Thank you! Mine is fine 😊.

I had OK last year and it was pretty good. I've used almost everything, although the FUL hair mask and lip stuff remains in my stash. I discovered a couple of unexpectedly good products from it - the L’Oreal Paradise Big Deal Mascara was fab and is an easy repurchase, and I really love the Ella & Jo Miracle Mask that I doubt I would ever have tried without an edit etc. Not much revealed for 2026 yet but one to watch potentially.

It has put me off CB if it is in there. Who wants a brand that you can no longer buy?😵‍💫 I didnt rate REN products really. I only liked a couple.

@Housewife2010 on my eBay posts, I posted a photo of the eyeliner pencil without the top and Trinny cheek stuff without the lid so it’s clear it’s unused! So many scammer, I don’t trust someone to not report it as used once they receive it.

Bijenkorf is on Marys page
169 EUR

Getting this one. Cant get excited about the perfumes as theyve been everywhere last year but the rest of the stuff I will mostly use

beauty-detective.com/de-bijenkorf-beauty-advent-calendar-2026/

Yes, that's a point. The opened serums & opened mascaras are something else though. 😨

A picture speaks a thousand words...

Oh I like it as well 😍 nice mix of products and reasonably priced, but…I assume I would need to pay duty tax and VAT on top? I’m in UK

Thank you so much for sharing my review! That’s so kind of you ❤️ And honestly, I really do love the Harrods calendar this year.

Me too. Another example of CB trying to dump old stock along with their unpopular shades…

I wouldn't routinely open serums, moisturisers or mascaras. I do show eyeshadows, blush, lipsticks, pencils etc. as proof they are pristine and unused. As @Noadded says it's to count towards evidence should someone receive it and claim it was in used condition.

I've had a few people message me before for extra pictures showing that a moisturiser is full if it's one that isn't sealed.

It looks Like Oh My Cream are drip feeding a few more sneak peeks on their insta. This one looks like their eye shadow stick worth £30

This is a really nice one. I don't think they ship to the UK from what I can tell. Most Euro ones don't seem to. Niche Beauty does and maybe one or two others - but I remember from last year many don't.

I am so over drip feeds (I was never a fan in the first place). These companies are seriously alienating any engagement from me at this stage. I’ll take a look once they’re fully revealed, maybe. I’ve never been this apathetic before. The fatigue has hit.

Sorry if already shared, this just popped up on my Instagram - Glossybox reveal

...Pass

Do we have a full list for GB yet? I’m sure I read or received something about early access from tomorrow (I might be imagining that though)? Can’t keep track.

And as if by magic….thanks @Willow742

Thanks for this. Mine arrived today and drawer 24 is fine. Going to hide it away and try to forget what's in it now, but gosh, it's lovely
That's my luxury calendar for the year, might get M&S if it gets reduced to the point where my vouchers pretty much cover it, but not wowed by anything else, really
Just can't bring myself to pay real money for anything containing eyelash curlers or PK, especially as I've donated both of those to charity in the last week

Sorry I've just caught up on the posts - sending love to everyone who is having a difficult time at the moment, it seems as though August has been a very heavy month 🙏🏻 hopefully things will be more smooth towards the end of the year, although that doesn't improve the loss 💜

I’m now down to two choices:

a) Harrods

b) Hold my nerve and wait for any fabulous reductions in the hope of getting my BAC buzz from the deal rather than the products 😂

thanks! Looks like the teasers were the good stuff and the rest is filler. Can’t make all of it out. That said, it is a very affordable one by comparison.

My take on this - exactly as I was concerned about, looks like much of the value and the excitement is contained in the items that were revealed individually. I'm not necessarily looking for lots of high value but a lot of this just feels like filler 🤔

Thank you for sharing. I love it, to me this is as good, if not better, than last year 😻 well done to GB for including Milk Orchid which is Commodity’s newest release. And wearable blush colour. And Medik8 serum. The rest also looks good enough for the price 🥳

I think it's similar to last year. It's worth it if you'd like the Commodity fragrance, PT blush, Easy Blur and the Medik8. I already have the fragrance so it's a pass for me. If it was a Commodity I didn't own I'd probably get it.
