Just deciding whether to purchase...!

It tells you whats in the box if you decide you want to know so why don't you do that then you'll know whether it's worth it or not.

Yes, I've looked at that, just wondering if it's good value :)

I always get one as a Christmas present for my sister. It arrived on Saturday and I'm very impressed with it this year. Really nicely presented with a great range of products. In previous years you had to make a purchase but now you can just buy it.

I think it's good value for £75.

I’ve not looked. But I have had one before and it was definitely not worth it.

Mine arrived today! But I won’t be opening it until 1st December.

Looks good though!

Check out unboxings on youtube eg. Missboux has done one. I personally think it looks better than previous years.

I think it was £60 last year wasn’t it? I treated myself to one and enjoyed it but £75 is more than I want to spend this year. I did sell a few bits that I didn’t want on Vinted last year.

It was £50 a couple of years ago, £60 last year now £75 and lots of the same stuff, more Philip Kingsley elasticizer anyone...? I won't get one this year

Although this year you don't have to spend extra on clothing etc to get the advent calendar. Compared to other beauty advents I thought it seemed good value.

I always get one. I put it on my dressing table which makes me get out of my cosy bed on dark cold December mornings!

I’m really undecided about getting this. I want to because I think it’s good value but it’s a lot of hair products. I think if there’s an offer on it at some point I’ll cave. I loved the summer beauty bag but I’m just not sure about the advent. I think I’ll check it out in store to help me decide.

LaurieFairyCake · 16/10/2026 16:15

Yes it’s great, got all of them being used now
total bargain

SheilaFentiman · 16/10/2026 22:07

I think it’s good value but I don’t happen to like the perfume in it ( annoying as I like others from the brand) so I got boots instead

Shloopie · 16/10/2026 22:10

I got one last year when they were reduced to £40 and it was definitely worth that. I'll buy it again if they have similar price reduction. But not at £75.

It is more expensive but you don’t have to buy anything else to be able to get it at that price so there’s that to factor in.
