Looking forward to it!

countdowntonap · 30/11/2023 23:08

I’ve looks at no contents spoilers whatsoever so tomorrow will be a complete surprise.

Housewife2010 · 30/11/2023 23:12

Im so impressed by this year's box. It's prettier than ever. I love that the design is on all the sides.

Ah I have this one - loving the box so much. Just got it out and set it by my bed in all its glory. Excited!

Jellycats4life · 30/11/2023 23:40

This is my first Liberty advent calendar - last year I had Cult Beauty. I’m excited! I remember when Liberty launched their first AC and I couldn’t believe how expensive it was. Now I know it’s a decent price for a whole year+ of products.

I do have a vague recollection of what’s in the boxes, because I deliberated for ages before buying… but my memory is terrible so I should still have plenty of surprises 😂

I resisted buying this one last year, but finally caved in. It looks gorgeous😀 can't wait to open the first drawer

Ladymarycrawley1920 · 01/12/2023 05:55

Just received mine this morning. Was a complete surprise from lovely DH and am very excited 🥰🥰

imp2007 · 01/12/2023 06:06

I agree the box is gorgeous- so excited to open the first drawer!!!!!

Isabelle70 · 01/12/2023 06:22

I will be opening my 5 calendars in about 20 minutes, can't wait 😄

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 01/12/2023 06:43

Thanks for the thread

countdowntonap · 01/12/2023 07:05

Very happy with this morning’s offerings! I know lots of us that have the Liberty beauty drop wondered why this wasn’t in the last box.

moogdroog · 01/12/2023 07:11

Ooh, thanks for the thread! It's my first Liberty advent calendar, after hankering after one since they launched it. Box is so beautiful and I am pretty pleased with this morning's contents. As PP said, explains the leaflet, but no testers in the last beauty drop.

QueefofSheena · 01/12/2023 07:19

Thanks for the thread @Housewife2010 I’m very pleased with today’s drawer. Good strong start. I did look at the contents back when I ordered it what seems like months ago, but I’ve mostly forgotten

pattyparsnip · 01/12/2023 07:26

Hi my first Liberty calendar, a surprise from my husband . Impressed with today's offering.

Bluemacaroons · 01/12/2023 07:50

I often don’t love the perfume you get in advent calendars but this one is actually really nice, not sweet but quite warm and woodsy. Very good start

Jellycats4life · 01/12/2023 07:53

I tried this perfume when I was in the store a month ago, it’s nice (not £200 nice though) so I’m pleased. I also knew it was coming because Liberty had so many videos on their socials showing the day one box being opened 😅

MrsMidgeMaisel · 01/12/2023 07:53

So pleased we kick off with a perfume, and as others have said I was disappointed not to receive in the last beauty drop box. I'm not 100% sure it's a me fragrance although it is nice.

Jellycats4life · 01/12/2023 07:57

I’m glad Liberty have at least given me a perfume I’d wear. The last two fragrances in the beauty boxes have been so masculine I gave them to my husband.

FrillyGoatFluff · 01/12/2023 08:27

So glad I found this thread! My husband surprised me with a liberty advent, and I am rubbish at anything beauty, so hoping you lot can advise me what half the stuff is actually for! 😂

Gnomegnomegnome · 01/12/2023 08:28

It’s lovely! Must not purchase every perfume that I try

casuarinatree · 01/12/2023 08:29

Also, very pleased with this morning's offering!

And the box is so pretty - although I really struggled to get it out of the delivery box last night without all the items falling out of the drawers as it was such a snug fit in the delivery box!

mum2three48 · 01/12/2023 08:40

I forgot to get my liberty calendar out last night and in my excitement to open it I've managed to empty the contents everywhere 🙈. I've quickly tried to shove things back in drawers without seeing them but I've probably put things in the wrong drawer. 😢

Buster27 · 01/12/2023 08:48

Happy with today's, off to a good start!

Gnomegnomegnome · 01/12/2023 09:14

Dh has already figured out how to get it out of the box while checking for leaks etc (although he stupidly put it back in for some reason). So I had instructions!

@mum2three48 ohno!

LadyHester · 01/12/2023 09:47

Mine was a ‘surprise’ (he gets me one every year!!!) from DH. Didn’t like the perfume on first sniff but am enjoying the warm woodsy drydown.
