Thanks for the new thread @IlovePond.

That’s a very fast sell out for the LF fragrance, think it took a couple of days last year.

I was all set to get the boots luxe one. Since finding this thread I now want the Sephora, the SpaceNK & the cult Beauty ones!!!!

Just got home from work and went on to buy Dd LF FAC and it’s sold out!!!
Do I now buy her the Boots one or live in hope it comes back in stock?? Seems very quick

It came back in stock once last year then sold out again in about an hour and that was it.

I'd buy Boots as a back up but still keep an eye on LF coming back just in case you get lucky.

I've had a notification from Cult Beauty to say that the AC will be on sale from 8am tomorrow 🥳

I think you’re right - so disappointed 😢. Had such a manic day at work with numerous new patients apart from early this morning didn’t get a chance to go on the website.
🤞it does come back in stock

No dispatch email from Harrods for me yet. 😞

I think others were also interested in a french pharmacy bac this year. I reached out to them as I use a lot of their stuff and so this is a no brainier for me as one to get - and good news is they said they are doing a bac again and it will up for preorder very soon. 🙌

I also haven't got one 😔

Someone asked this morning on the last thread about the Holland and Barrett Advent but the question was lost in the flurry of other advent launch postings.

Sorry I can't remember who asked, but it goes on sale tomorrow if you're on the waitlist then on the 3rd for general sale.

https://beauty-detective.com/holland-barrett-beauty-advent-calendar-2026/

I think I've got the BAC blues. It's the frustration created by long drawn out partial reveals followed by lack of information on release times and dates, causing shopping frenzies like the one today and leaving many disappointed. Plus the extra long wait for the Harrods BAC I ordered ages ago....It shouldn't have to be this way!😞

i have just asked DH to order me the Elle one. you are all a v bad influence but i have identified 3 or 4 things that can be used for other people and it does properly interest me. whereas I had expected that i might just do the holland & barrett one but it bored me...

Thanks for new thread @IlovePond
Having bought no less than 3 ACs today, I should be nowhere near this thread now….

its a shame that some beauty influncers shares Fake News about the Harrods fragrance calender

It’s apparently already on its way to DPD. I wasn’t sure whether to ring customer services to check thst they had changed the address, but was too worried in the end, in case something went wrong and they cancelled it.

Just wondering if anyone has the link to the Next calendar, not just an article about it. I'd like to see if I can get it delivered to Ireland. Elle and OK will not deliver here and I'm afraid everything will be sold out if I wait! Thank you!

I have been having a think about which calendars I actually like this year, based on what I would actually use/am interested to try.

If money was no object: Harrods BAC: £270

If I felt brave enough to shell out for a bunch of mini perfumes I don’t know and probably won’t like: JL FAC £99

Interested in, depending on the full contents:

OMC: £195 (Although they are really angering me with the endless emails - so, combined with the hostility I recently experienced in their shop, this probably means they can do one…)

PureSeoul: £140 (Although I am a bit worried that they think a blackhead tool is an exciting spoiler 🤢)

StyleKorean: £? (However, it probably wouldn’t arrive for 1/12 🙀)

Vaguely interested in, especially if there were any reductions:

GlossyBox: £75 for me
Boots FAC: £90
You: £115

Yes, I had second thoughts on the BAC from them, thought about cancelling and then thought I’d better not as they may cancel the FAC too. Their customer service is dreadful…I’m sure it’s better if you’re Richie Rich though 😁

You’re just going to have to sit on your old doorstep until it’s handed to you.

no dispatch email for me yet.

@Itsallthelittlethings - the NEXT a/c launches on 3/9. I couldn’t find a link to a waitlist.

Thank you. There's a banner on the UK website but not the Irish website. And I tried to get something else delivered but I can't. So sad! Brexit has really upset my Christmas shopping.

Thank you so much!!

Thanks for the new thread @IlovePond.
I shouldn’t still be looking as I have more than enough however moderation isn’t my thing and I’m still waiting for oh my cream and sculpted by Amy. I really like oh my cream as a company (ethos and CS) and would love to see their offering and I absolutely love my sculpted by Amy mascara that I’ve picked up from some edit so I’m really interested to try some other products.

Checking in!

Thanks for the new thread.

I know this is a bit off topic.

But last year Liberty also did a Christmas Decorations calendar. Do we have any idea if they will do another one this year? I remember going into the shop last year to ask about it and one of the assistants (I assume temporary Xmas staff) gave me the dirtiest look when asking about it, like I had made the whole lot up and Liberty wouldn't do such a thing!

Also disappointed that the awful Mike Ashley has bought HN, put the HN logo over the Sports Direct website. I would assume that those advent calendars are not happening now.
