I think I'm safe from SFAC, not that its very likely I'd be able to secure it. I only really want the ExN but I'll try my luck with Vinted.

I do like the look of the CB frag edit. I'm keen to try the Discotheque which is nearly all the price of the edit.

pinkchampagne1 · 04/10/2026 08:39

Oh the SFC is less than I thought it would be and I am back to wanting it now. There is a good chance I won’t get it though as I leave for work around 8.30 and then we have to put our phones in lockers, so if it becomes available at 9am I will stand no chance. 😞 Maybe it will be for the best as I already have the Harrods one.

I smelt the discotheque perfume yesterday and it was one of my favourites that I smelt all day. I'd said I would get the CB fragrance edit and now I'm considering it πŸ™ˆ

pinkchampagne1 · 04/10/2026 09:10

Looks like the Harrods BAC is now out of stock

MosquitoMagnet · 04/10/2026 09:14

My Oh My Cream arrived yesterday too and it is hilariously massive. In my head before it was arrived it was going to be a travel wash bag size maybe.
I like the funny laptop bag idea

Code CBAFF gives you 20% off the CB fragrance edit I believe plus you get Symprove as a GWP. I've never tried Symprove so no idea if it's any good.

Thanks so much! I've just got it with the code

Beautyfox · 04/10/2026 10:04

That code works on all the CB Christmas edits but they often pull these codes on new launches so be quick.

You have me tempted now even though I hate the escentrics 02 and am very meh about pomelo. I had decided against it as they are two of the larger scents in the edit.

paristotokyo · 04/10/2026 10:25

@XelaMthanks for sharing the code! I wasn’t going to order but I’ve ordered the body and most loved edits as it’s a great discount. The one with the medik8 looks very good but I’m already using a peptide product which I love. Surprised the code worked!

IDontHateRainbows · 04/10/2026 10:31

Thanks for the heads up - got 2 fragrance kits, with discount code and account credit came to Β£52 with free next day deliv

JoRaRaRa · 04/10/2026 10:39

Picked up the luminous and fragrance edits πŸ₯°

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 04/10/2026 10:56

Despite being informed by a remarkably restrained Mildred that I’ve got 54 bottles of perfume coming my way in the festive season, I’ve just watched myself order the CB fragrance edit πŸ˜©πŸ˜‚ and the luminous skin and forever loved edits too.

You are making me feel less guilty for owning 53 bottles

Peridot1 · 04/10/2026 11:09

I am tempted by the CB fragrance edit but I have never been big into perfume. Just bought Lola from Coat Check after the chat on here and quite like it. I have loads of small bottles of perfumes from when I had Beauty Drop and from other advents etc. Might get it for a friend actually.

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 04/10/2026 11:23

I’ve never been into perfume either really, would have maybe three bottles on the go and some body sprays. But over the past few years I’ve really noticed how easy it is to cheer myself up or comfort myself with a nice perfume, or wax melt. I am a simple creature!

Peridot1 · 04/10/2026 11:28

I think I’ll start using perfume more @DidILeaveTheGasOn. Need a big clear out as some bottles I have are over ten years old! Some maybe even 15. Too much makes me sneeze though so need to be careful.

I have succumbed and ordered the fragrance edit plus the fine hair edit which I’d been thinking about for a while. And the discount code worked so thank you @XelaM.

So long as they have been kept in the dark they are likely to still be fine

Cultbeauty Christmas edits are live now in case no one has posted this. Apologies if they have!!

nearly61 · 04/10/2026 12:03

oops- then I read the earlier messages and realized not only was I late to the party but I missed the code!!! Many thanks to you lovely people once more I’ve managed to cancel order number one and grab order number two with the code. Phew!!

Fillybuster · 04/10/2026 12:03

Gosh. Almost missed the CB edits going live: have grabbed forever loved and luminous skin & dead chuffed about the working code. Although it’s just occurred to me that I probably have more AB creams heading my way at the moment than I’ll be able to get through in a lifetime unless I start applying it to my whole body!

Fillybuster · 04/10/2026 12:06

For anyone who took the Symprove GWP: i
might be wrong but it looked like one of those sneaky subscription freebies when I clicked on it. So just check you haven’t signed up to something without really it. Or I declined a really nice GWP - but as far as i can tell, CB add genuine (ie catch-free) GWPs to basket automatically and this one you have to select.

MidnightMeltdown · 04/10/2026 12:25

BAC seem to be selling out earlier this year, they usually stick around until at least mid october-ish. I did think that Harrods and Selfridges go first though. Maybe Elle or Sephora next as these seem to be popular. Although it could be one of the cult beauty’s, as presumably their total count is split between the two options.

I think F&M is less popular than some of the big beauty brands, and probably appeals more to an older market, but I imagine they produce far fewer calendars, so that one is hard to predict.

I’m sure I read somewhere that Liberty produce around 60,000 calendars (up from 20,000) when it was first launched). F&M only produced 400 the year it was launched, but I imagine that they produce more now. I bet CB, Sephora and Space NK make at least 100,000. Maybe more.

@BeanNaGealai - sadly not safely in the dark. On my dressing table….

Oops.

On the plus side, it means you can easily justify some fragrance edits.
