August 2, 2018 at 16:04I can’t wait! I’m still using products from my 2017 calendar. They’re such a great way to discover the brands .
Will you be making a YouTube video this year to show us what’s inside?
Paula
August 2, 2018 at 16:11Same I still have so many products left, great for travelling too when they are all mini sizes! Yeah definitely will do unboxings of any I get! x
Julia Gorodetskaya
August 12, 2018 at 09:52Thanks a lot, very interesting and useful! It’s funny, I found this blog just googling “beauty advent calendars 2018”, read it and thought, such a great job. And then saw your photo under a comment and realuzed: oh, I know this girl, it’s Paula, I watch her on Youtube! 🙂 Can’t wait to watch your advent calendars unboxings this year! Xoxo
Paula
August 12, 2018 at 13:28Thanks Julia so glad you find it helpful! What calendars are you liking this year? x
Julia Gorodetskaya
August 18, 2018 at 13:33Thanks for updating Paula! So many good ones! I think I’m particularly excited for the new ones like Debenhams, Space NK and La Mer (this one is super expensive for 12 days, but a good way to try their products). Also Fenwick and John Lewis look great, I got them last year and really enjoyed them! And M&S, No 7 and Look Fantastic seem the best value for money. What about you?
Paula
August 19, 2018 at 17:54I really like the multi-brand ones, it seems like more of a surprise behind each door! La Mer is so expensive, but I’m open to gifts (if anyones reading this) haha!
Bronagh Quinn
August 26, 2018 at 00:17Feeling faint! I’m always extra when it comes to Christmas.
This has me so excited and you have the most comprehensive list I’ve seen online!
Paula
August 26, 2018 at 00:38There are so many this year and still more to come like Liberty etc! Which are you thinking of getting?
Michaela Neilson
September 8, 2018 at 14:06Great content and info. I will for sure subscribe on your You Tube channel!
Annette Capon
September 12, 2018 at 01:24Hi Paula.
I love watching your Beauty Advent Calendar unboxing. I’m a little, well a lot if brutally honest 🙂 obsessed with these Advent Calendar haha. I like buying several as I can never just pick one. The samples last all year so it’s money well spent in my eyes.
Do you know if QVC & Amazon are bring out a Beauty Advent Calendar out this year?
Will you by any chance be unboxing the Harrods Calendar?
Keep up the great work 🙂
Paula
September 12, 2018 at 01:28Hi Annette! So glad to hear you enjoy them, I love doing them! The calendars are so fun though, so why not!? hehe
Amazon are doing one, just don’t have the details yet and QVC have told me they aren’t (probably after last years fiasco lol!)
I would LOVE to unbox the Harrods calendar, let’s see if I can get my hands on it!
Paula
September 12, 2018 at 16:49Just added the Amazon one 🙂
alex
September 12, 2018 at 14:06Thanks for the great info! I follow you every year for the calendars. Last year i got the wife the harrods one, the year before liberty and the year before selfridges!
Im not sure which to surprise her with this year.. harrods or the Fortnum and Mason…? what do you think? 🙂
(every year so far she has loved them all!)
Paula
September 12, 2018 at 14:13What a great husband you are! I think the Fortnum & Mason would be a very lovely surprise this year!
Micky
September 14, 2018 at 22:53Do you know if the elle one will ship outside uk (in Europe)?
Angela Aronsson
September 19, 2018 at 22:13Hi Paula!
The Feel Unique calendar is available now, they decided to release it very early for some reason. Just FYI. LOVE your calendar guide by the way, keep up the good work. I’m a advent calendar junkie and could never find all these calendars by myself. Some of them don’t ship to Sweden but that’s probably just as well 🙂
Regards
Angela
Paula
September 19, 2018 at 22:21Hi Angela!
Ooh amazing thanks for letting me know, I’ve updated! I think they just make these release dates up now ha ha! x
Angela Aronsson
September 19, 2018 at 22:53Hi Paula!
Yes it’s strange, what if some people miss the early release and the calendar sells out before the release date that they have communicated ? Well hope they have enough of them. Either way it looks like it might be worth buying 🙂
Regards
Angela
Debora Tentis
September 22, 2018 at 14:35Oh! Thanks! I just discover new beauty advent calendars!
Angela Aronsson
September 27, 2018 at 22:13Hi!
Does anybody know if Sanctuary Spa will have a calendar this year? They did one a few years back that seemed to be such good value.
Thank you in advance!
Angela
Paula
September 27, 2018 at 22:14Hi Angela! Afraid they aren’t doing one this year 🙁
Angela Aronsson
September 27, 2018 at 23:06Hi Paula!
That’s a pity but thank you for your swift response!
Angela
Nancy
September 28, 2018 at 06:45Hi,
Any new what’s inside of Lancome luxe advent calendar ? Is it out in Selfridges ? Thanks
Nancy
Paula
September 28, 2018 at 16:00Hi Nancy!
Afraid no more info, it is supposed to be launching at Selfridges very soon, looks like they’ve pushed the release date back a bit.
Heather Bennett
November 16, 2018 at 16:19So many to choose from!
Nicola Tarjanyi
August 12, 2019 at 22:44Thank you so much for being on the ball with this. I am an absolute addict and the beauty advent calendars are the highlight of my year so I have been googling release dates daily since June! I really appreciate you being so proactive and can’t wait to see the full contents of the remaining calendars
Paula
August 12, 2019 at 22:52Yay glad it’s useful! Still more to come, can’t wait to see them all!
Angela Olsson
August 14, 2019 at 19:33So glad I’m not the only one that have already started Googling this years advent calendars. I do realize it’s very early but can’t help it. Thank you to Paula for the guide!
Micky
August 16, 2019 at 11:58Love this Paula! Do you know if Selfridges will do as usual 2 calendars ( l’ oreal and beauty workshop)?
Paula
August 19, 2019 at 18:32Thankyou! Not sure yet, but will add as soon as I know!
Sofia
August 19, 2019 at 18:25Love your page here Paula!
Any news about the feelunique beauty advent calendar for this year?
Paula
August 19, 2019 at 18:31Thank you! I know there definitely is one but no info as yet, I will add as soon as I do.
Kate Foster
August 25, 2019 at 00:15Very interesting, thanks! I really like John Lewis, Look Fantastic and Next- there’s a surprise! They did have one last year, it was about £25 and had all their own fragrances, lip balms etc in it. This year though, they’ve really turned up! I’m not sure about M and S, their summer beauty box was a bit of a disappointment to me. It was quite good, just a bit meh for them. Cohorted told their subscribers they’re releasing one this year. On not seeing it here, or with other info that’s been released I asked them again and they confirmed that they are! All I know is that you don’t need to be a subscriber, so it’s intriguing! Will be looking out for any unboxings you do Paula, always very good.
Paula
August 28, 2019 at 13:47Hi Kate! I really like the look of look fantastic this year, much better than last year. Next looks great too! Thanks for the heads up, I contacted Cohorted and they said they would send over the info when they have it – exciting!
T Thomas
August 27, 2019 at 23:30Thank you Paula! You are definitely the go to gal with your lovely lists. I’m a bit obsessed. Is it wrong I brought 5 last year and saved 2 of them for Christmas day as a present for myself ? …my family think I’m mad.
Paula
August 28, 2019 at 13:45Haha no I think that’s a great idea! I’d buy one for every month of the year!!!
Kate Foster
August 28, 2019 at 16:31Thanks, that’s great. Cohorted have kept very quiet, but have told you there’s a calendar as well now, so it must be right. I love their boxes, they get lots of high end brands so am hoping they make their entrance with a dazzler….as long as the price isn’t too dazzling, lol.
Paula
August 28, 2019 at 16:35Yeah they said they are definitely doing one, just finalising the details Lol let’s hope!
MunchKim
August 29, 2019 at 14:20Thanks for doing this list again Paula, it’s good to see them all before picking which to have this year.
Cant wait to see what design M&S have this time and hopefully Tili’s comments the other day mean they are going to do one again. There’s still so many I can think of that haven’t announced yet so I’m going to wait a bit to decide just in case there’s something amazing coming!
Hope you have loads of fun with the unboxings, looking forward to your video’s of them 😀
Paula
August 29, 2019 at 14:53Ooh that’s interesting I hope Tili will be, I will get my investigating hat on lol! What ones are you looking to see?
Thankyou so glad it’s helpful and videos soon, I had a calendar delivered yesterday so that will be up very soon! x
MunchKim
August 29, 2019 at 16:00M&S, Amazon, Beauty Expert & Feel Unique off the top of my head. Looking forward to seeing the contents of the LiB and Grazia ones as well as the Tili if they do one 🙂
Its all the ones I’ve had before or drooled over that aren’t on your list yet really x
Paula
September 6, 2019 at 15:16M&S and Feel Unique are on there now
Kate Foster
August 29, 2019 at 16:22I think Til at QVC are doing one in the US- I saw a 2019 vlog about it on YouTube. Don’t know if they are doing one here.That was the Advent calendar flop of 2017- not that I had one, just heard about it- unusual for Tili. They would really want to get it right if they release it again here, so I reckon if they do it, it will be great.
MunchKim
August 29, 2019 at 17:12Hi Kate, I asked them if they were having one this year on their Facebook page and their reply was “Hi Kim – keep an eye out and hopefully we will have some details to share soon!! x” so hopefully there will be one without all the problems from last time 🙂
Kate Foster
August 29, 2019 at 20:27Ooh that’s very interesting! Will keep an eye out for that x
Julia Gorodetskaya
September 2, 2019 at 13:57Yet another great job! Every year you do the best advent calendar research Paula! Thank you!
Paula
September 2, 2019 at 13:58Thankyou! Still more to come
Julia Gorodetskaya
September 4, 2019 at 20:18There’s this one too: https://www.revolutionbeauty.com/uk/en/makeup/gift-sets/advent-calendar/1142236.html
Paula
September 4, 2019 at 23:53Thanks Julia have added!
Micky
September 5, 2019 at 13:51Cult Beauty has one too!
Kate Foster
September 5, 2019 at 17:18I sent QVC UK an email about the Tili advent calendar, as I could only find info on one being released in the US. They said they would speak to their buyers and get back to me. Somebody took the trouble to phone me today, and said it will be a ‘stocking’ , not an advent calendar, available from October.
Paula
September 5, 2019 at 19:34Well at least they gave you a call haha! Shame no calendar x
Kate Foster
September 5, 2019 at 19:03Any news on the Cohorted one, and do you know if Amazon are doing one this year? x
Paula
September 5, 2019 at 19:34I think they are but don’t know anything about it as of yet, no updates on Cohorted yet other than they are defo doing one x
Paula
September 14, 2019 at 11:58Hello! So Cohorted have confirmed they are no longer doing one, I think they planned to but have had production issues so it’s no longer going ahead.
Kate Foster
September 5, 2019 at 20:15Thanks Paula, I’ve pre-ordered Look Fantastic, wasn’t going to get it this year, but it looks so fab! x
Paula
September 5, 2019 at 20:23Yeah I think it looks really good! That and Cult Beauty
Annette
September 5, 2019 at 21:16I didn’t know cult beauty was doing an advent calendar.. OMG I’ve just checked it out & it’s unbelievable. Such a great idea giving you extra goodies on Christmas Day. I’m so pleased you mentioned cul beauty as I wouldn’t have known they were doing one
Paula
September 6, 2019 at 01:24It’s amazing, definitely my favourite this year!
Kate Foster
September 5, 2019 at 22:33Yeah, I was surprised they rang me, but QVC customer service is really good. Will be looking out for the ‘stocking’, but yeah it’s not an advent calendar. I’m looking at Cult Beauty, but John Lewis is out soon and that’s got a lot of good things I like in it. Can’t really justify buying both. x
Kate Foster
September 9, 2019 at 11:01John Lewis one is supposed to be out today- 9th Sept. It’s 11am and where is it? This is one I’m really interested in, or I wouldn’t be so hyper. I went to pre-order Look Fantastic, just after midnight on 5th Sept (their release date) and it was already on there, think it had been there on the 4th. Not 100% sure I’m getting John Lewis, as this can get pricey, but it’s really on my radar, where is it??!!! Not expecting you to answer that Paula.Someone at John Lewis is probably running round like a headless chicken, in a flap cos they haven’t released it yetis
Paula
September 10, 2019 at 12:01It’s live just seen it!
Kate Foster
September 10, 2019 at 16:13Thanks Paula, changed my mind about it. It has a lot of in-store vouchers in it, which is great if you can get to a store easily, but I live in West Cornwall now. Looking out for something else, so am keeping an eye out for your posts. x
Kate Foster
September 14, 2019 at 14:39Thanks very much for letting us know about Cohorted Paula. Yeah, I’m not surprised really, there was no info at all, anywhere. A shame but plenty more to look at. x
Zara
September 22, 2019 at 08:09Thanks Paula for this great post! Have you got any info on the beauty expert calendar for this year? Thanks
Paula
September 23, 2019 at 01:17Not yet, hopefully soon!
Kate Foster
September 28, 2019 at 12:00Thanks so much for the updates, you really are the best for advent calendar info!! So, I’ve bought 3, last year I got 7! It’s my one thing I go a bit mad on, but some were not good purchases last year, so am choosing wisely this year and doubt I’ll get 7.
Nicola Tarjanyi
October 6, 2019 at 00:55Hello Paula, any idea on the specific release date for the net a porter calendar? It says October but can’t find a specific day. Thank you and well done keeping everything so up to date it must take some doing! x
Paula
October 6, 2019 at 01:21Thankyou it sure does! ☺️ I think it might be the 21st but I haven’t had that confirmed other than the fact I read it on an Aussie site x
Paula
October 8, 2019 at 20:42I’ve heard it launches tomorrow!!!
micky
October 6, 2019 at 21:20Hi Paula, do you know the realease date of the Cult beauty? i m in waiting list but i cant wait!
Paula
October 6, 2019 at 21:29Ha me too! Sorry they haven’t released those details 🙁 maybe try and ask them on social?
Riya
September 19, 2020 at 05:54Really loved the Lookfantastic and the Birchbox calenders.. Going to buy it for my friend for her birthday next week… Thanks for sharing!
Danielle
September 17, 2021 at 19:36I would love to try out one of these!
