💄 More Calendars & Spoilers
Rather than making the opening post a mile long, here's a brilliant roundup of lots more advent calendars and the latest spoilers, including Charlotte Tilbury, Elemis, Lancôme, Tatcha, NEOM, Neal's Yard Remedies, Holland & Barrett, YesStyle and many more as they're announced.

That’s a good idea, I still have my empty Liberty one from last year that I have been struggling to let go of!

Meeting finished earlier so had a quick browse of Harrods FAC. Very pleased @JoRaRaRa that Impadia is a spray and not a dabber.

Had a sniff of the nozzle of Gozo, not sure what I think, will need to try properly. It's one that is v popular though so maybe very nice on the skin.

I saw this and immediately thought of the thread...

Boots are advertising for 3 Advent Officers 🤶

Successful applicants will receive all three Boots Beauty Advent Calendars and will be encouraged to share their thoughts online and spread festive excitement as advent calendar season gets underway.

To apply for Boots' Advent Officer role, candidates need to email a[email protected] with their full name, social handles and 100 words on what makes them the perfect person to help spread Christmas cheer this season.

As a fyi, my sister just went to Harrods Knightsbridge for me and there were still FACs in stock so I am now the proud owner of one! Woohoo.... It doesn't seem to be as popular as last year's but there was still a queue and people were buying the max quantity of two each (apparently they were surprised my sister only wanted one)....

Seems a bit late in the day to be advertising. I don't really do social media and I don't suppose chatting on MN counts - although we might have more reach than some tiktokers in reality (hello lurkers 😃)

Ah brilliant! I'm ok with dabbers but sprays are better. Is gozo the Jeroboam? I keep mixing up that and the floraiku names. I've not yet put my calendar under the bed so I think that means I'm probably going to do some research on it soon 🤣

Have the full spoilers for Brown Thomas been posted yet? I love it!! How do we get it in England? Do I need to swim? I can't believe they're getting a fdb Sirene!!

I remember the frustration last year that we can't get this without taking a flight or having a local relative. Oh well. 😭

God that's a cracker of a BAC. Probably makes it even more appealing that it's unavailable to those of us not in Ireland

Want one!! <stamps foot>

We need a fairy in Ireland 🤣 it doesn't say when it's being released, I wonder if it's when I have some time off work, maybe I should go for the day 🤔

It's soooo unfair 😭😭

Well despite no notifications, and my order still showing as 'processing', my CB advent calendar has been delivered 😅(the 'signature' one, bought with the code)

Mine's still showing as this 😮‍💨 bought it on release day at 7:39 and it's still not arrived 🙄 I've already accepted that it's getting cancelled. I think they've thrown a hissy fit that I bought with a code and with £45 credit 🙈

Maybe you can hire a van and be our personal shopper! 😂

I am happy for you to just cover the postage costs. Just about to catch a train to London but will send you a PM 😊

Selfridges unboxing

Tbh I think you all will get them. Fairly sure if they were going to cancel they would by now.

It looks really good! For once I’m happy I’m in Ireland. I wonder when we will know exactly what size each item is. 1800 is is a massive euro amount of value too

@JoRaRaRa this is one I have been waiting for. Though I said I was one and done, I think it’s too good to miss. I have a work trip to Ireland in October… though wish I knew when the release date was. Maybe I could persuade a colleague to pick one up if it’s released before my trip over…. 🤔

I believe BT is October 1st, Benny12 popped into the shop and that’s the date they provided.

🤣 I could actually go in my husband's car, he's got an SUV, load it up then meet you all for a drop off on the m62 somewhere 😂

Oooo mannnn!! That's after my annual leave 😭 plan scrapped!

I'm sure you'll all hear my updates when I get them 😂 I hope you're right though🤞🏻

for anyone who has the Harrods BAC, did your Gucci come in a box? On the Really Ree unboxing it was but mine isn’t. It’s something I want to resell so want to check its as it should be! Thanks

No!!!! That’s before my work trip to Ireland - going to definitely have to see if a colleague can go and pick one up for me. My number one top priority to sort out on Monday morning!
