Same!! Bought full price and that comes today. Discounted one still in processing! But have the £20 vouchers for both! Arghhh

I think that's a sensible decision 🤭 There doesn't seem to be any that I think is perfect. All of them seem to be missing something. I think Harrods would be better if they had a full size night cream, a different cleanser (I don't know why they include the same one 2 years in a row) and a different product from bioeffect, as the egf serum has been included quite a few times now. I think more luxury haircare products should've been included, same with makeup but I guess they put all the value into the skincare. I do like the idea of the cle de peau primer though 🥰

My Harrods FAC has just arrived and despite saying yesterday that only one was coming, both have arrived 😵‍💫 now do I just rip it open? 🤭

I liked the Harrods BAC even more in person when I saw it this morning at Heathrow Terminal 5 departures. They aren’t duty free sadly.

12-day version looks nicer in person IMO, but I hate the PK Elasticizer (does anyone like this stuff??) and the Sol de J spray!! They bring down the value, I think!

Oh that's annoying. I'd like mine to be delivered today too 😤

With photos. Doh! I’ve just posted with a different username to previous threads. Oh well, hi!

Thank you for enabling my decisions. 😘

I think my FAC should arrive today. Loads of stuff is coming today. CB should also arrive and the fancy mirror for my new dresser. Exciting day.

It's really strange that I have not decided on any so far this year.

This sounds really good!

Must not order Boots FAC. Must not order Boots FAC. Why do I want to order Boots FAC? Must not order Boots FAC.

Cult Beauty BAC is out for delivery today although it looks like the fragrance samples won't come until tomorrow. Two non-beauty ACs are due today. Harrods FAC is still "expected" by DPD, not actually in transit.

Must not order Boots FAC.

You’re probably on your flight now, but if not - do you happen to know if you can pre-order a calendar to collect at airport departures? I know they do have that option, but no idea if applies to the advents.
