If you do subscribe, it comes through almost immediately. I subscribed for the FAC but have ended up with two boxes (my fault, I subscribed in 31st so they sent August and then September on 1/9) and as of now, no advent. I bought it but it is still processing.

so currently in selfridges (drowning in perfume) and a lovely lady told me the FAC is dropping - 1st october ….thats going to be a busy day

I would love list of ebay & vinted sellers to, particularly perfume sellers if you would like to message me the info.
Surprised Spacenk is not out yet. Flannes crackers aren't announced yet, are they?

Addictedtobeauty no mine is still stuck on processing

I guess SNK and Sephora are going head to head next week. I need to stay strong against the fomo.

I posted about Flannels crackers earlier. They were announced late Aug last year. They didn't sell great last year so maybe they aren't doing them.

Has everyone received their HFAC yet? Mine is still pending, received my BAC from them though.

Thank you! So I subscribe, check out and then get a voucher or something via email and place another order? Is it 15% off? Thanks

You subscribe and then get an email welcoming you. The discount is automatically applied to the calendar when you log in. I subscribed one day before buying but had access to the beauty plus or whatever it’s called immediately.

Any more suggestions for beauty calendars for a teenage girl?

On my list:

Lookfantastic
Boots Luxe
Next

Any others in a similar price range? Thank you ☺️

Hi, yes, it was me. The SA asked me if I had a BLC to which I replied, yes. 10% off. I said that I didn't know that they did that, but yes off it came aling with aome recycling points I had.. I got home and checked the BLC website and you're right, no mention of Harrods.

Thank you 🥰 I might have to take you up on the offer. I'll see if they get back to me with a quote.

Yes, I had the lip liner missing from Spacenk last year, I didn't notice in the September when I received it, complained in December and they sent me a replacement.

My HFAC just arrived!! Obviously I wont be delaying gratification until December (I would be good if ut was beauty but I CANT with perfume!!) First one was JM English pear. Ugh. Not for me. Ive realised I really hate pear in fragrance. So i'll be sticking some on Vinted too. If there's a list I wouldnt mind being added to it and getting a copy too please!!

I went to Harvey nicks this morning to test the FDB Sirene privee, I absolutely love it! I'm more determined now to get the BT bac.

I also tried the Thameen from the Harrods calendar, that's a really nice, soft floral perfume. Very pretty 🥰

My Harrods BAC should be arriving shortly and then I'll have to cancel the one I pre-ordered.

I got a sample of the JM from CB, I really don't know what I think of it. It's pretty and my husband said he really likes it, but it's reminding me a bit of a room spray I've got 🙈🤣

Mine is in transit. Schedule to arrive monday. According to the status it is schedule to depart on the next planned movement😀

My dd loved the H&B one when she was late teens.

Thank you @JoRaRaRa !

Thanks for setting up thread 7. @SoloCat

@Isabelle70 - my closest - which isn’t close at all - is Thurrock.

Kind of reminds me of the smell of a swimming pool!

@SoloCat mine is supposed to be delivered this afternoon but still waiting on HBAC

After an uncertain start this group approach to thread starting has worked out pretty well. Thanks everyone who has volunteered as an OP so far. 😍

Hopefully we now have a model for next year and beyond so it isn't all on one person to monitor.

Going for ASOS for my 13 year old with a few bits coming my way instead.

I’ve been into Liberty on a sniff test today and to my surprise I like 3 of the perfumes! Loved the Fugazzi, and Blue Talisman and the Vyrao mellowed into something I’d wear I think too. Hated the saffron as I thought I may, only saffron perfume I’ve liked is faces of Francis. Didn’t like bibbi vanilla at all and know I don’t like the DA, Tana Meadow and Molecule 1 smells of nothing on me. I’m impressed though, 3 and the Harrods one I’ll keep. Others will be on Vinted! A productive afternoon!! Also tried the Sisley lipstick, jury’s put it is quite pale but beautiful so may keep and see what I can do!
