👉 ^https://beauty-detective.com/category/beauty-advent-calendars^/ 👈

I haven’t updated lists or availability, but I’m sure we all know what’s going on 😀

Fairyliz · 06/10/2026 13:31

I would think twice about ordering this one. I ordered on 1st September and it’s still not been dispatched. I have contacted them several times and they keep putting the dispatch date back.
Current info is that they will ‘try’ to ensure that all customers have them by 1st December.

MidnightMeltdown · 06/10/2026 13:43

For me it’s showing as in stock, but for click and collect only. I imagine that they only a few so aren’t sending them out. Maybe store stock?

Lizziebennett1 · 06/10/2026 13:59

Thanks Fairyliz, might have another look at some of the other ones. Had just about settled on Harrods when it sold out!

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 06/10/2026 14:18

I keep getting apologies from LF about the FAC. Sephora, meanwhile, haven't heard a peep but it's been a month since I pre-ordered the BAC and still nothing.

Beautyfox · 06/10/2026 14:25

Mine arrived last week after ordering on the 8th. Might be worth checking your app because they didn’t send anything to me until I checked the app I had no idea it had been dispatched.

AdaRed · 06/10/2026 15:24

The BAC threads are a highlight on Mumsnet! What do people think of the VOGUE one? I've eventually managed to find a decent skincare routine that suits me so wasn't that keen on a BAC that was mainly skin products. Thank you.

Beautyfox · 06/10/2026 15:29

My DH has ordered me vogue. It hasn’t arrived yet but think it’s looks wonderful and I’m really
looking forward to it. I like that it’s not all beauty/skincare etc. If I recall right the perfume is Burberry which is disappointing for such a wonderful calendar but I will give that to DD who I’m sure will love it. I really like the jewellery and coin purse which holds a lot of value so I think if these are your cup of tea then it’s a great calendar that looks beautifully designed. I actually think it’s quite special but I hope it lives up to expectations in the flesh.

AdaRed · 06/10/2026 15:41

Thanks Beauty Fox. The contents do look really lovely. Think I will opt for it.

Growlybear83 · 06/10/2026 16:00

It’s very strange - Ive just checked the Selfridges app and it said FAC is available for click and collect only. I quite fancy a trip to the store so went ahead. I’ve paid for it, but when I checked out it said it would be delivered to my home address tomorrow. Something must have gone wrong!

Growlybear83 · 06/10/2026 16:03

Oh bugger! I’ve just realised I’d ordered the BAC, so have cancelled it 🤣🤣🤣

JoRaRaRa · 06/10/2026 16:05

The fac or bac? Don't be getting us all excited 🤣

ETA that I've just seen your second message.

MidnightMeltdown · 06/10/2026 16:35

I’ve ordered Vogue. I like the Jewellery, and that alone covers the cost of the calendar.

Growlybear83 · 06/10/2026 16:39

Im clearly over excited. I had a dream about the FAC last night and being in a huge queue with a stampede like at Harrods a couple of years ago 🤣🤣

AdaRed · 06/10/2026 16:44

I've gone ahead and ordered the Vogue! Very excited. I had it the year before last and it didn't disappoint!

JoRaRaRa · 06/10/2026 16:51

🤣 when the Harrods one went on sale this year, quite a few people bought the beauty one instead of the fragrance 🙈🤣

HardyJadeTurtle · 06/10/2026 17:04

I’ve been feeling really anxious because of SFAC…
Closer we get more anxious

Growlybear83 · 06/10/2026 17:06

I think I’ll be glad when it’s gone on sale and sold out, whether or not Im able to get one 🤣

MiaN · 06/10/2026 17:23

So are we staying up tonight, in case SFAC goes on sale 🤣

Isabelle70 · 06/10/2026 17:32

I use the personal shopping team for other purchases so I was able to pre-order.

Loveabeautybox · 06/10/2026 17:35

An update for those waiting for the LFAD
I contacted customer service last night and got a generic ‘ it will be there by the 1st December’ reply. Magically, it has now been dispatched…!

Fillybuster · 06/10/2026 18:07

My BT is finally on its way to London. Thoughts and prayers, please!

JoRaRaRa · 06/10/2026 18:11

What?! Why has yours gone? He told me there'd been an issue with the driver and it will go tomorrow instead 😭

JoRaRaRa · 06/10/2026 18:12

Not tonight, it goes on sale on Thursday, you'll be falling asleep tomorrow night if you stay up tonight 🙈

JoRaRaRa · 06/10/2026 18:14

Me too. I hope we all manage to get one (well, who wants one that is) 🤞🏻

Fillybuster · 06/10/2026 18:14

I’ve selected DPD, maybe that was a different driver? Although to be honest, it might not have actually left the building. I may have overestimated what a photo of the parcel with a label on actually means!
