I take advent calendar picking SO seriously. I write them down, break down prices, work out which ones are better for me. It’s a whole process and I treat it like a life changing decision 🫣😂😂 I love it though. So thank you for this vid, it gave me my much needed fix 😂😭
@@alixfree i do almost the same. I put emoji's to every product how much I like it. If it's enough positive emoji's i'll go for it. Sooo much fun. Have fun with your search this year.
This year will be my first year without any beauty advent calendar (I used to buy 2 in the past). I just can't afford it anymore plus I have so many unopened beauty items from previous advent calendars that buying another one again this year would be a bit wasteful. So I am making a decision to skip this advert calendar season. I will be watching and enjoying your unboxings though 😊
Do you have any of the boxes left from years past? Use them and the unopened items to make yourself a new calendar. Do it now and then by December you'll definitely have forgotten what you put in it so it can still be a fun surprise each day.
I cannot resist the Spacenk one, its a treat for myself. Only way to try luxury products. But I understand, they seem to add extra £10 or more to them every year 😔
I'm in the US and I watched all of your Advent calendar videos last year so that I could choose one for my daughter. She loved it! Looking forward to doing the same thing again this year. Thank you for your service!
I have my list of 11....some already pre-ordered, the others I'll impatiently wait for access. The information you give us makes these decisions so much easier, Thank you for the effort Karen, it makes a huge difference! 🥰
These updates are sooo appreciated. Last year, I followed all of your recommendations (watched some of the unboxings several times to optimize my purchases) and was so so happy with the result at the end. Looking forward to many more videos this year. Thank you, Karen!!!
UK has best advent calendars. Ordering from Canada! Last year Space NK Cult Liberty Look Fantastic. This year have preordered Harrods (ships to Canada this year) and PLouise. Waiting for Space NK and Cult and Liberty. Addicted!
I love the process of reviewing content, I love the calendars packed with beauty so look for those, this year I've ordered harrods, and will look at the spacenk, Sunday Times, and anything else with good skincare content, soooo excited 😂
I already bought Avant and I’m so excited for SpaceNK and cult beauty, but mostly vogue are doing an advantage again this year and it was my fav last year.
Can’t wait to see unboxing videos! Can you please show us how you reuse the advent calendars? I have 2 empty cult beauty advent caladium and I refuse to throw them but at the same time idk what to do with them
I’m waiting for the boots premium beauty this year. I have €110 in boots points saved up, which is what it cost last year. Going to do a stock up on basics if it increases in price to make it free-girl maths at its finest😂😂
I still use my Cult Beauty eye mask every night. It is really well made. Anyone who thinks it's a filler product is welcome to send theirs to me because I love it!
I love the calendars that come in handy reusable chests the best 😂 I’m mad for storage stuff now 🤷♀️ the Selfridges huge deep chest was my fav last year and my son said I should have just bought the empty box on eBay and saved £££ 🤣
I loved SpaceNK last year so much I went and bought a 2nd one😅 same itch flannels in 2022 it was so good I got 3! They was the EGF full size serum I think though?

I really enjoy your sneak peeks and advent info, really helps me to prioritise - my criteria includes products suitable for my skin, least haircare, least filler items, and then lipstick colour, and of course size of items. It’s a difficult but fun process 😂. Cult Beauty looks better this year, and I’m also waiting for Space NK. I like the Flannels one too, but not sure if it ships internationally.
I'm excited for the SpaceNK and Cult Beauty one. I'm in the Netherlands. Not all calenders can be shipped here. Also in the Netherlands we have some good once. From de Bijenkorf and Douglas. I'll check out LookFantastic as well, bit I didn't like it that much passed years. We will see what is good this year.❤❤❤
I wanted to have the Bijenkorf last year but I life in switzerland and there was no way to get it as they do not deliver to other countries than netherlands😭 I am also super excited for spaceNK and cult beauty😊♥️
@@Wwjj13 owh noooo. That's to bad. I tought they did ship outside the Netherlands. I always love this calendar. It's always the same brands, but different products. Let's hope they are good again this year...🤞🤞🤞🤞
Do you know if SpaceNK has additional cost for shipping to our country like VAT/Import? I know Cult beauty hasnt but I couldnt find it anywhere for SpaceNK and havent ordered there before... I wouldnt like paying 60 euros extra on top of the already 250 for the advent calendar...
@@gabyindeweygerlings7049 2 years ago it was free shipping and no vat. They ship from somewhere in the EU as well, so we din't have the extra costs. Last year it had shipping cost of 14 euro for the calander.
I went a bit crazy last year (thanks to your videos!) and got Cult Beauty, Space NK, Sephora, Vogue and Elle. I've pre-ordered my first Harrods as well, and also the Liberty as I had £80 'banked' from the Liberty Beauty Drop and got £20 off. I've seen a partial unboxing of Cult Beauty and I'm not as impressed as last year, also looking forward to seeing what Space NK and Vogue have in store. Can't wait until your advent unboxings start!!! 💸💸💸
The latest in beauty one was very good too i think i got it really cheap with ur code and black friday, i did order the harrods one but still prefer last years, im eagerly awaiting space nk, gona have to rewatch your last year sephora one now 😂❤ xxx
I've pre-ordered the Liberty calendar so far. I'm trying to decide what other I want, as I went a bit OTT last year buying 5 different ones. So, decisions, decisions! 🤔
I have pre-ordered the Harrods one because with only 2 items (the Augustinus Bader retinol serum and the Valmont Prime Renewing Pack) I have recouped the cost of the calendar - and that’s including the extra $45 shipping fee for me to get delivered to Australia! I personally will be happy if they don’t include the velvet pouches again as they ultimately end up in landfill whereas at least the cardboard calendar can be recycled.
I had sephora one in 2022 ,space nk last year ,bur need 2 go some what cheaper this year plus I still have quite a full drawer ,might go lookfantasic xxx
I’ve ordered the Harrods already as I thought it was well put together. Lots of useable items and many new items I’ve not seen before but I’d use. I’ll buy one more - so looking forward to the SpaceNK or the Sephora ones (these were great last year). I’ve seen some shares of the Cult Beauty one and so far I’m not impressed.
Ordered Harrods. Waiting on Vogue, Net a Porter, Spacenk. Not feeling Cult Beauty's reveals so far a d didnt last year either. Same with Liberty. Selfridges never had yet but will check out just in case. Usual annuals for me Harrods, Vogue, NAP once reduced and sometimes Spacenk. Cannot wait for all the reveals to come.😊
I have seen some spoilers for cult beauty so it will probably be that one unless spacenk knocks it out of the park (their products seem to get smaller each year and I don't want small samples for that price) or sephora ships to Ireland. I check what's in it and then forget anyway so don't care about unboxings etc. I will probably get the Bird&blend tea calendar.
Aren’t advent calendars subjective, I was wow’ed by the first UK Sephora, but skipped last year as I wasn’t loving it. I’m loving the sneak peeks from space NK, it’s always fab. I keep contemplating Harrods. I do Liberty, Selfridges and space nk last year, but realistically 2 is sufficient (she says 🫣) xx
Last year I had the Sephora EU version, that was different of the UK one. I"m interested in CultBeauty, Bijenkorf (Dutchy here), Sephora EU/UK, Rituals but I'll see what I end up with.
I can't wait for the mac, beauty bay space NK Harrods cult beauty look fantastic and boots and rituals and body shop and p louise omg i cant Freaking wait eeek
Allready got the avant calander. Know the brand from calenders. Works well on my skin, I am over 40. But products are overpriced i think. The Calendar with discount was a really good price €90,- and shipping to the Netherlands was Free! Thought I had to wait some time like till oktober. But got it a few days later.
'I'Ve seen the contents of Beauty bay's calendar and no it's not full of beatybay products though there are a far few. I have ordered the Harrods as I get EGF serum every autumn @ 155 quid its more than half the price of the calendar, so this year I'm getting the egf power serum, which I want to try anyway and everything else in there is to me £100, a bargain in my book, Selfridges and Space NK and maybe a cheaper one like Boots or LF/ Sephora I love calwndar season and have just finished everything from last years calendars thougj I did get alot last year as I bought 5 and my 4 sons bought me 6 between them and in all that I only got Space Nk as a duplicate which I didn't mind. Xx😊❤
Yeah I’m pretty sure they are not doing an advent calendar at all this year. They haven’t even had any beauty edits throughout the year so I’m guessing things aren’t selling well for them beauty wise anymore.
I’m in Australia and I ordered the advent calendar yesterday from Harrods to be shipped to me for an extra fee - I think it was about $45 Aus for the shipping. Totally worth it for the bang for buck in the advent calendar this year!
I’m looking forward to Boots too. I procrastinated last year as o already had two, so it sold out. I’ve been saving my Advantage points all year 😃 I got John Lewis for the first time last year, that was really good M&S was my second last year - it was my Novent calander as my birthday is Nov 25. That one is incredible value
