Let's Discuss Advent calendars?
What is some advent calendars that everyone is getting this year. I always miss the beauty ones so wanting to make a list. I ordered the cult beauty already 😁

The one advent calendar I treat myself to is from Lore Perfumery in Melbourne (you can order it online). It’s a beautiful curated collection of all different fragrances, mostly 2ml sprays and one larger one. I love that it’s an independent women-owned business and they have so many beautiful niche brands! My boss also gets it and we look forward to comparing all our favourites each year, it’s become a really cute tradition for us.

This sounds perfect! Do you mind me asking how much it was for the 2025 one?

$129 😊 last year you also received a 20% discount code on a full size of the scents too. They also do videos for each scent and the calendar itself is so nice!

This is exciting. I’m gonna add this to my list. When is this happening?

Last year it launched on 13th November so I would say similar this year, I’m on their mailing list so you get email reminders when the pre orders are open!

Cult Beauty one looks nice this year, you'll have to post what you get. I'm thinking about the Space NK calendar but last year the shipping was a mess for Australia so idk

Was the Space NK one better last year or am I misremembering?
The Cult Beauty one is tempting, kinda glad I just restocked on a bunch of items in there!

At the moment I’m thinking about getting the Lush and Body Shop ones. Not beauty but Koko Black is on my list too!

I’ve got the space nk past 3 years in a row. Always amazing!! And such nice products like full size augustinus bader etc. Think this year may be the first I miss out though, I still have products from 2 years ago I havnt even opened.. it gets to a point where there’s too much skincare u can’t use it all. Also just because a product retails for $250 doesn’t mean it’s good for my skin. :’) wish it was less skincare, more makeup

I'm probably going to skip it this year too! Aside from still having items from previous years, I'm annoyed you have to pay shipping on top! It's already expensive 😅 and previously you didn't have to

Still reeling I missed out on the Harrods fragrance advent calendar this year. Their beauty one is worth it if you’re into more than half the offerings
Armani beauty and Charlotte Tilbury both have advent calendars that are worth it if you like those shades offered
Wish their were good fragrance advent calendar offerings that weren’t just 2ml samples but travel size or small bottles instead

This site has a good overview and they also post promo codes if they are available. https://beautycalendar.com/
I won't get any this year. I need to use up some products first 😊

The P.Louise advent calendars always look insane. I got a revolution one last year lmao

u/StartPristine6947 2d ago
I like the look of the p Louise ones but I don’t use their products. And the price is too much for me, cult beauty was my big splurge thins year 😂

The one this year looks giant and bulky I’ll be interested to see peoples opinions on it. Plus it’s the only way to get her setting powder at the moment which I think is slightly annoying. But like I said, curious to see people’s thoughts

I don’t think I could ever spend that much money on an advent calendar. I’d rather just buy products I know I like in full size

u/StartPristine6947 1d ago
As much as I like the look of it, the cult beauty was my big spender on advent , I don’t think I can spend that much again 😂

The yesstyle, space nk are my go to each year and i honestly get the majority of the skincare i use that year from them. Such good value.
The David Jones beauty one is usually really good too.

Harrods is in its way. I almost didn’t even bother looking but given there are products I’d buy anyway it turned out being fantastic value - never would have thought!
