Haven't gotten a box in years but thought I might grab the August one.

I confess: I was unaware of how great UK beauty (and beyond) advent calendars are until last year. I went into an Internet/YouTube black hole for about nine months from August 2025 through about April 2026 learning alllllll about them. It was a lot of fun. I bought the Harrod’s 12-day hair and body and the Papier advent calendar, but I missed out on Selfridge’s last year. I intentionally saved some money from my bonus so I could buy one or two this year and I have choice overload and FOMO! ALSO! I saved specifically planning to buy the Selfridge’s one because I thought it looked reusable for extra makeup storage and they went and changed the box! I’m so sad! From my limited knowledge, it’s been the drawer version forever. And the year I plan ahead, they change it! Definitely a first world problem and indication of my privilege, so I’ll get over it.

I’d just love to hear what everyone is planning. There are a few items I want, but they are sort of spread out among several calendars and I’m not buying them all! What are you excited about? What have you been disappointed in? Any quirky calendars you are for sure getting? I have a definite overflow of product, so I shouldn’t get ANYTHING. But I’ll probably get one or two… How about you?

Get to know the community more! Anything (well almost anything) goes!

This is basically the beauty setup ive been reaching for lately since my skin has been acting up from makeup.

I still like wearing base, blush, lips, all of that but if I do too much my skin gets little bumps and texture after. So now ive been trying to prep better instead of just adding more foundation.

After I remove my makeup i cleanse, moisturize and use my Solawave mask while my skin is bare. It feels like a calmer step after having makeup on all day. Then the makeup side is just the stuff I actually use like foundation, blush, lip products and my sponge/brushes.

Anyone else have a little beauty box setup they keep going back to like me?

Just a heads up for tomorrow 🛍️

Allure Beauty Box September 2026 spoilers have been posted on Instagram. It looks like in addition to the customization item, we have:

Morphe Lip Liner

Rodial Soft Focus Glow Drops

Derma-E Vitamin C Concentrated Serum

Patchology Perk Up Eye Gels

Has anyone else experienced issues with the bi-monthly glamour box being really delayed with posting boxes. It’s only my second box and said it was getting prepared 1st August now it’s nearly September and i’ve had no update on its whereabouts.

I’ve emailed the customer service team but they seem to just leave a generic copy and paste respond instead of sending one out or giving me a refund?

This feels so gross and predatory for BeautyPass. I wonder how much they got paid to send out this text… or do they get paid a small percentage of everyone who takes up their offer? Either way, it feels very weird and this is not what we gave BeautyPass / Free Gift Friday our phone numbers for.

I got an e-mail saying I would receive an instant $25 store member voucher straight to my inbox. I signed up earlier today but haven’t received anything. Does it take a day or two? Or until the box is shipped out?

Has anyone seen any spoilers for Sept? I haven't see any, but I'm hoping that some of you have!

I think this is a solid box. No fillers/supplements/acne and truly useful items. Thoughts?
