Beauty Advent Calendars Thread 12 - reeling in the aftermath of SFAC, we soldier on... 💄💋

[LightandBreezy]

Welcome to the 12th thread, we still have 50 days till the daily unboxing officially starts, although I very much doubt any of our calendars will remain untouched until then 😂
Still time for lots more friendly chat, tips and discount codes - to cut down on links as a poster requested, here's link to some very comprehensive run-downs of the calendars https://beauty-detective.com/category/beauty-advent-calendars/
When enjoying those breakdowns please remember that some are OOS already - Harrod's Fragrance, Harrod's Beauty and Selfridges Beauty to name a few.

@Peridot1 Harvey Nicks fragrance is 12 day https://www.harveynichols.com/harvey-nichols-12-days-of-fragrance-advent-calendar-2026-999917#colcode=99991701

My BT calendar has arrived💃🏻🎊

I've checked it all and it's all there and perfect 🥰

All calendars delivered, mission accomplished 📋🥳

Forgot my photo

Woohoo, so pleased for you 🎉

Fantastic news @JoRaRaRa . I hope you love it

Oh that’s great news @JoRaRaRa! Really happy for you.

Thanks @SheilaFentiman - probably a bit more than I’d like to spend. And I don’t want to give her an expensive perfume addiction!

My 'currently being used' skincare is in my bathroom wall cabinet. I have just redone my bathroom and had a ton of cupboards fitted, so most of my body care and some haircare is in there.

In my dressing room/ office, I have a dressing table with 6 drawers. Stash at the bottom with currently used make up and haircare nearer the top so easily accessible. Stuff I use everyday (tinted moisturiser/ foundation/ mascara/ perfume etc) on the top of the dressing table.

Was fine until recent purchases - I now have last years Boots showstoppers box on my desk full of stuff from this years AC/ recent edits........

Definitely no more purchases for me until I have emptied some out!!

Not sure if this is too much makeup rather than skincare, but this is only £45
No7 Pro Artist 12 Days of Luxe - Boots

Or Liz Earle is £79

Great news @JoRaRaRa, I think that’s everyone’s BT arrived safely? It’s a beautiful calendar.

I am delighted for you @JoRaRaRa ! That’s great news and you definitely deserve it 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🥳

Sorry, I just checked and you're right.

Didn't someone link to some dutch sites on a previous thread? They should ship to Germany.

Have a look at Printemps

I believe so, yes 🥳🎊

Can you help me decide please :

I’ve got enough credit for the Liberty and can’t decide if I should get it. Not really sure what else to spend the credit on apart from letting it build up - and what if Liberty go bust ! Enjoy the beauty boxes ( good one arrived today )

i would probably sell on a lot of the liberty stuff if I did get it

The SNK one isn’t great at all - but have £100 of vouchers and it’s not bad for £175. Feel weird not getting one - don’t think they’ll do a FAC this year either .
again would probably sell on items I didn’t love

or do nothing and let liberty credit roll on and spend snk vouchers on perfume on Black Friday

thanks for the new thread @LightandBreezy ! If anyone with. SFAC wants to sell their queening, please dm me!

I have the same problem and @Ilovepond I think has the same dilemma .

im going to wait and see if they have a good edit or wait for Black Friday and or January sales and get some candles I think then cancel. No doubt nexts years calander will be amazing 😬 but I don’t think Liberty will go bust.

@DidILeaveTheGasOn im thinking of this for perfumes just got to workout how to attach this to a wall not a door for the perfumes .

Thanks for those ideas @Donsyb. Will investigate.

You can get £20 off a £100 spend on the app with Space NK.

I am sure it was confirmed that Space NK are not doing the fragrance calendar this year.

Can anyone who's ordered the snk bac today remember what is said about nduldge points.
It definitely said that I would get £40 off my next spend.

But it doesn't add up. Unless I am being thick which is usually the case.

@Donsyb That looks great, I was having a similar thought about childrens' bookcases because they have the bar to keep the book in place, but your approach is better.

If I had loads of money I would like to get some shelves like this

Just got an email from Selfridges saying they’re planning to restock the SFAC tomorrow

Ooh! That would have tempted me, but I didn’t get the code.

(also I am convinced the £20 off today only happened because I placed a large order last night without it 🙄)

The luxe one says £40 in ndulge, but I don’t think this is in addition to normal points but their way of showing what you will get in equivalent points for purchasing I only got the normal points with my budget BAC order.

@JoRaRaRa I rarely post but have been following the BT saga and find myself far too invested 😆Am so pleased you finally have it - it looks well worth the wait!

They don't. It's not an EU/non-EU thing. It's the so called dangerous substances. Loads of the mainland EU countries don't ship to Ireland either but will ship to countries on the mainland.

Woo hoo. Arnott's next.
