💄 More Calendars & Spoilers

@BeanNaGealai thats a very compelling argument indeed for spending €355 - you should definitely go for it in that case!

Goodness, that sounds scary. 😞 I am not surprised you felt shook up after that. I think you deserved to but that advent calendar to cheer you up a bit

Perfect beauty maths @BeanNaGealai

Hello all, still waiting for my Sephora BAC to arrive!!! It's getting me down because I could have just gone into a shop and bought it. I'm unable to cancel it either- has anyone ordered on the 8th been able to cancel? It doesn't give the option in my account and CS is just bots.

Hello all
Does anyone know if the John Lewis fragrance calendars been sold online since the first appearance?
The first time it appeared, it went out of stock while I was checking out. The notification said it would be in stock again 21/9/2026. Now its showing as not available online. I called JL and they have said it won't be available on the website again.
I'm disappointed that companies state a date and don't stand by that date.

Any News on Harrods home fragrance calender?

That’s so annoying @traybro - it looks like there was a mistake with the date somewhere.

I was actually planning on buying the JL FAC if it reappeared as perfume doesn’t really go off and I have £40 credit.

Oh well 😿

@JoRaRaRa
Sorry to hear about your car accident yesterday. Thankfully the bus driver had some common sense and didnt make a big deal about it. I know those kind of scrapes can really affect you afterwards. The noise alone and the shock. Glad you are ok. ♥️
It'll take a day or 2 to come down it. Its easy done. X

Elizabeth Arden are doing their first ever advent calendar: £80.

To get a free gift you have to spend £85, and the cheapest thing I found on the site to add to the order takes the total cost to £92.

They are offering a free cotton storage pouch and pins to the first 100 customers.

I couldn’t get any codes to work on it.

I have restrained myself, but am popping it on here in case anyone is interested.

Hi, late to the party this year! Thanks for the Glossybox TikTok info, I’ve just managed to get it for £75 from there. I wasn’t planning on buying it this year as I think Look Fantastic is better but I think it will make a nice present for my nieces.

They had a huge pile of them in the meadowhall store, but they brought me one out from the back. It's quite heavy and your arms soon start aching so park near to Sephora so you don't have far to go 🤣

I’ve just got Glossy Box for £64 on TikTok shop with free delivery, vouchers came up for me to knock the price down from £80. I couldn’t resist at that price!

Sadly I am not on TikTok - I would be tempted at that price!

No I wasn’t either, I only signed up when I read about the discounts, it’s quite simple to do. Glossybox is reduced to £80 then a £5 coupon appeared taking it down to £75. It’s a bargain at that price.

Thanks @SmashingGemini - I must restrain myself anyway as have spent a lot already today 🙀

That's really frustrating. I've been waiting for it to come back into stock as I missed it the first time. I thought it would be back too but then I don't think Harrods ever came back into stock online after them saying it would so I should have known not to trust anything regarding fragrance calendars.

Could anyone with the Harrods fragrance Advent confirm if the Memo perfume was sealed? I sold mine on Ebay brand new for a bargain price and the buyer is saying ive opened and sprayed it! I've watched a couple of unboxings and they don't appear to be sealed but can see some on Ebay are 🥴

I will check. What day is it do you remember?

@wheresmyshoe gosh I’m envious, I only got one voucher to take it to £75 but I couldn’t be persuaded at that (yet) which is a rather odd moment of self-restraint. Maybe I’m coming down with something!

It’s day 5. Mine isn’t sealed.

what code did you use to make it £75? 🙏

It came up as a coupon I could apply - no code.

Both of mine were sealed in cellophane.

If you put it in your basket, the price goes down after 24 hours. I got it for £72, someone earlier in the thread paid less than that. I don't have Tiktok, but children can be useful for the Tiktok shop.

I bought 2 calendars. I'm 99% sure that the one I've opened had cellophane. The second one - I've just opened the day 5 box and it is cellophane wrapped.
