You actually do some work for once and before you know it there's well over 100 messages to catch up on! So with apologies for skimming...

If anyone is still after eyelash curlers just shout, you can have my Harrods ones.

I still haven't got my CB voucher and am losing the will to leave as they just keep resending it.

And no, my Gucci Harrods product wasn't in a box.

Wouldn't it be perfect?! I'm getting so pee'd off with them all now. Harrods, pre-orders mean nothing, stupidly late etc, cult beauty haven't sent my order despite ordering at 7:39am on release day, Selfridge's can't be bothered to tell us what date the fac comes out or even now much it is and now this brown Thomas or thomas brown, whatever he's called, doesn't deliver to England and not releasing early enough for me to go get a car load for us all. Grrr!!

😤😡🤬

Rant over! 😇

I’ve got a full Emma Lewisham skincare routine now, after trying the reset serum from last year’s liberty BAC. I absolutely love it.

My Harrods BAC has arrived. What a beauty! 😍 Now to wait until December 1st. 😫 I'm only getting rid of one thing from it, and thats the NARS.

Ooh BT is looking very attractive this year. Next to no make-up and the lipstick is a definite thumbs up. About 5 things I'm not particularly interested in (hair stuff mainly) and the Jo Malone is my favourite and looks like it might be 30ml from the photo.

My Liberty got delivered, woohoo! It is lovely, and no leaking reome broth, phew! I've only had time to quickly check it's all present and correct and undamaged - I'll properly go through it tomorrow morning.

If anyone wants the perfumes (minus Escentric molecules) as a bundle, let me know. Hand Cream, innersense hair mask, and some of the makeup will also go on Vinted.

(I had intended to keep the hair mask, but horrified myself last night at how much I have stashed 😨 I did finish an Elasticizer tube though 😄)

If anyone figures out how to get the BT calendar to the UK, please please let me know!!

Now tempted by Selfridges, at this rate I’ll have to build an extension…

Same. Second (discounted) CB BAC arrived today with £15 apology credit added to account. Also 2x £20 vouchers from the 2 BACs and another £20 points in credit. I then got an email for £25 voucher for bday when spend £100. Planning to buy a couple of bits from my ‘wish list’ for my 2 DOD and perhaps an early bday gift for me. Very pleased.

I phoned Harrods CS - they said the FAC was now sold out in Knightsbridge and my nearest HBeauty - he answered without hesitation - so either he didn’t bother checking or he didn’t need to, because he already knew they had all gone.

I’m annoyed I didn’t go after work on Tuesday - I just assumed they would all have gone by 10am!

Hopefully not much longer. Looks like they are starting to process them now.

@Hicupping same! Got the 20% off, the £20 voucher and then £15 credit for it being delayed! However, no golden tickets 😂

@JoRaRaRa have you sent a message to them? I did that with my discounted one when was showing as processing and they manually changed it to dispatched. Or is it showing as dispatched but just lost between CB and Royal Mail?

Can I ask, does the CB special advent normally sell out quickly? I'm sure last year it did? Can't decide whether to just return my full price one or sell it for what I paid if they will sell out soon - as that way my other £20 voucher wouldn't be cancelled.

It's showing as 'dispatched' with cult beauty and 'we're expecting your parcel' with royal mail. I've not yet messaged them as I thought it might show up, but I think I'm going to have to or I run the risk of the special version selling out and me not getting one 🤷🏻‍♀️

In fairness, we have that with loads of the UK ones or else they charge a ridiculous extra amount to buy in € for Ireland so while I feel for you all not being able to get it, there is a little hint of "finally, we get something no-one else gets"

I ordered at 7:39am so mine should've been one of the first to go. You would think anyway 🙄

I know this is an enabling thread, and I fully support that! Get the pleasure wher you can. But it’s helping me not buy one just yet as I work through my reasons and remember the mountains of beauty products as yet unused I already have.

Still want: Harrods, Elle or JL, though!

My CB is now 70 stops away according to royal mail but estimates it will be delivered before 8pm?😜

They should make it you guys can get the UK ones too. The Brown Thomas one was good last year too, I remember us all drooling over it then as well 🤣

Not sure if it’s been shared yet but PURESEOUL have announced the contents and sale date for their calendar. It was top of my list but have decided against since buying Selfridges. ChatGPT thinks it’s a solid calendar. https://pureseoul.co.uk/pages/advent-calendar-2026

Can I ask what is good about it? I have one I was thinking of giving to DD or listing for sale and now I’m wondering if I should use it instead!!

Musing if the fact that I 'shouldn't' open them 'til 1st December is contributing to my buying loads of them? Like I'm on an IV of dopamine but the tube is tangled so I'm barely getting any when I should be getting loads. If they all arrived now and I opened them all, I wonder if I might be a little aghast at myself. Or chuffed with my precioussssss...

CB has arrived, not well packaged tear/dent on front. It's just in a single layer outer box. I have a dent on the Harrods one too though that's back corner. This one is much more front and centre.

The vogue one looks something else! It’s like the don of the advents!

I agree. All you need to do is rejoin the EU and we'll be sorted.
