💄 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, and many more as they're announced:

Madness or brilliance!? 😂

Well, after all the silly reveals that weren't reveals for the Korean Skincare AC, now it's finally been released for early bird pre-sale orders, I'm not impressed, so won't be buying!
Too many niacinamide products, too many already tried products and too many fillers - lash serum (seems to be in every AC this year), body toner mist, essence etc.

On the subject of pre orders, has anyone known any advent to sell out before it was in the shops? I don't think they do, so @LightandBreezy I reckon you can wait until it's actually released in the store and then order it, hopefully by then knowing whether you have a job in Ireland to pick it up.

I'd also bought Boots Skin at full price, oh well

Lümene has arrived and the box is gorgeous

I see Tidal Glow has finally revealed. I'm not that impressed for the price as have a lot of those products from the Boots boxes so doesn't seem worth the faff

I know single-brand advents are quite niche, but I wish Medik8 would do an advent calendar. Found some samples kicking around in my stash and have been trying them. Annoyingly enough, my face seems to love everything Medik8.

Saw some gift sets on their website, though! www.medik8.com/collections/medik8-festive-gift-sets The sets are also on Cult Beauty.

Great. Thanks. So we'll be ready at the crack of dawn then. I expect it will sell out quickly as for me anyway, it's streets ahead of previous years ones.

ChatGPT is telling me to keep it until next year so that's the current plan. I doubt it will actually happen but we'll see.

That’s a brilliant idea! Also a good use for the JL FAC - roll the dice or get a number in your cracker.

Thank you for the new thread @26inprogress
I’ve just ordered the Boots skin advent so that’s me up to 9 now!

I agree! It’s top end. Not a calendar you would buy if you wanted to sample / try, or experiment for fun, no sachets, no small vials , No new companies trying to get their products to market and wet the public appetite. These are all very, very well established brands, all with their following, all sure of their markets. The unusual thing is to get so many of them in the one place!
hoping I can use my BT points as well 😂
it will fly out the door

I found a list of sizes for BT - thepiquelist.com/brown-thomas-beauty-advent-calendar-2026/

Ohhh amazing. Cheers!

I also have a £3.50 advantage card points if I spend £35 offer so that makes the skin calendar even better value...

I agree @MosquitoMagnet and @Peachbubble - Tidal Glow is underwhelming and massively overpriced at £175.

wow, those are impressive sizes!

Thank you for the new thread @26inprogress
Spenny morning so far with JLFAC and Boots Skin. Couldn’t resist at £56, £5 points and a tiny bit of cash back via TCB. So only £155 for the two.
I know it’s pretty likely I’ll only like 3 fragrances from JL, but I’m on a bit of a perfume mission after not being able to tolerate it for the past few yrs - suddenly obsessed again 😂
Have now got 3 with the HFAC. Chat reckons I’d like Suede Silhouette from SFAC so not ruling that out just yet 😂

Thank you for pinging the Boots skin calendar. With some money off and buying two i managed to get it for less than 50 and hopefully some cash back tracks. I wasn't sure if i would use all the items but at this price, it makes sense.

Thank you!! Make my decision even easier - what a great advent of you are not looking for a makeup heavy one

That has made me realise that I’m not interested in the BT calendar.
I don’t want the perfume, and the things I did want - AB cream, K-18 and crème DLM are all only 15ml.

Still adventless !

Have you got a link please? I couldn't find anything at that price.

@Donsyb - if you put the £70 Boots skincare advent into your basket and go to checkout it should reduce. At least, that’s what it did for me, (but I haven’t bought it).

Yes it's worked. Thanks!

Just got an email from LF apologising for the delay in dispatching my BAC. No ETA though!
