@JoRaRaRa I already said I was doing this in my post
@mooshkymoo I was not lecturing anyone- just saying what I am doing- I also said if you enjoy it go for it

Your post did come across as rude and patronising. It's a bit like going onto the food forum where people are discussing recipes and saying 'I don't like this dish, but if you enjoy it then great. Although you should consider donating to the food bank'.

paristotokyo · 01/10/2026 12:44

I also don’t have one yet but living vicariously through all you lot and following along. I have picked up things on vinted or sales so I’ve curated my own edit of sorts of things on my wish list. We have a niche beauty/fragrance store here which do an advent which I’m waiting a reveal for. But it’s never as good as the UK offerings so I’m always comparing and feel it just isn’t as good value. Advents arent really a thing here sadly.

The Skins Holiday Box has dropped. 90 Euros

https://www.skins.nl/skins/the-holiday-box/158637/

Im a bit meh on this one. Great price but last years was just so good with a mini Diptique candle, a Dr Vranjes small roomspray, Santa Madia Novella scented paperstrips, some fragrances and some skincare.

Why do these companies deny me my candles or fragrance sticks this year lol

paristotokyo · 01/10/2026 12:48

I love the look of the Skins one though. That would have been a purchase if delivery wasn’t an issue!

I quite like this. Probably a good job I can't easily get one.

Oh gosh I did. I was looking at the list thinking I'm not doing bad. πŸ˜‚

I hope that's not a bad omen. 😬

It's an omen that the BT will surprise you in the best way every day.

I love the box so much. Was last year’s anything like this? (Not even sure why I’m asking this, unless anyone has a Time Machine I could borrow?)

Now off to search for parcel forwarding companies…..

I'm sure you didn't mean it that way but it did come across as a bit patronising and a bit of a lecture. The point of this thread is to discuss the advents so obviously it is going to attract people who are buying them. Lots of us do donate stuff already and some sell the bits they don't want which allows other people to get something they might not be able to afford otherwise.

HardyJadeTurtle · 01/10/2026 13:01

I hate when influencers say β€œit just launched, guaranteed to sell out fast” just to pressure people into buying through their ad links.

XelaM · 01/10/2026 13:04

I GOT MY HANDS ON THE HARRODS FAC!!!!! πŸ₯³ Thank you so much to @HardyJadeTurtle for mentioning that they are back in stock.

They are back in stock but only in store and they only have a few left, so if anyone wants one - get to Harrods today!!!

I am going to try and test the L-atelier before making a decision.

For those asking this was last year Skins advent, not quite as 3D but the cardboard was quite thin so you had to be really careful if you wanted to true it.
This year my friend is opening and sending me a box with the contents to save on postage.

This years one is 3D. Its a nice box.

And of course I just bought the Holiday Edition for 90 EUR whilst complaining about it lmao.

I’ve just managed to get glossybox bac on TikTok for Β£59.50 including shipping.
I wasn’t looking to buy it but at that price I could refuse.
Ive also just had an email from LF telling me the Grooming ac I returned because the aftershave was missing has been delayed. I hope it hasn’t gone missing. I looked at the tracking info and it appears to have been to several depots across the country. I just want my money back now.

Addictedtobeauty · 01/10/2026 13:22

BT should be forwarded on today via DPD 48 hr m. Cost for forwarding is Β£18.50. I can’t wait to get this! Good luck everyone with their purchase - let’s hope the luck of the Irish serves us well ☘️ πŸ₯°β˜˜οΈ

Ahhh that is soooo exciting πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ₯³πŸ’ƒπŸ»

I'm a bit worried about mine. It's in the same situation that I had with cult beauty, BT are saying that DPD have it and DPD are saying that BT have it. It seems to have disappeared during the pass over πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜­ I have to wait 48 hours and then BT will investigate but not immediately resend it. My c&c one has been dispatched and you only get 7 days to collect, so I might end up on a flight to Dublin next week after all πŸ™ˆ

Oh just seen this! I think it looks really great. I’ve only discovered Skins since this thread. I think it was @MrsBnow12posting about getting the advent! But I really like their edits. I will keep an eye on the website in the future when we stay with family in a European country they do deliver to.
