Liberty advent calendar thread

Does anyone fancy a thread to discuss the products as we open the drawers? Quite a few people seem to have it this year from what I've seen on here.

Oooh a pot of Vaseline today! I can never understand how they justify the price of this given the ingredients and why people buy it when there are so many cheaper options with superior ingredients (caggie I got the Emma Hardie too today!)

I have a smaller pot of this somewhere which I'll try in the interests of research and I'll probably sell this on.

The Bum Bum cream is for anywhere that needs a bit of a lift I think - so for Brazilian beach body seekers the bottom and thighs!

Boobs? ? Ever hopeful Grin

Another cleanser?!! What is Liberty trying to tell us about our skin! They must think we are filthy Xmas Grin

Pippin8 · 14/12/2017 09:15

Another flaming cleanser. It’s not the last one either. I’m annoyed, as I mistakenly ordered 8 hot cloth cleansers 3 weeks ago & couldn’t be bothered to return them.

Stitchosaurus · 14/12/2017 09:31

I like the Eve Lom cleanser so I'm happy with this, especially as I'm just about to run out of my current oily one. But it's a good job I like getting cleansers!

Dozyoldtwonk · 14/12/2017 09:34

Another blooming cleanser! I’ll try this but I’m really loving the Skin Laundry one so far; will repurchase for sure. Lovely texture, lovely smell and actually does remove make up really well!

I’m now craving a good day, night or hand moisturiser preferably all three

Housewife2010 · 14/12/2017 09:36

We've only had two cleansers so far. I think that's fine especially as they are different consistencies.

Dozyoldtwonk · 14/12/2017 09:37

We’ve had at least three @housewife - which is fine, but at least space them out a bit Hmm

Housewife2010 · 14/12/2017 09:42

What was the third? The Dermalogica is an exfoliant. I'm allergic to the lanolin in the Eve Lom. I would have preferred to try the Organic Pharmacy Carrot Butter. I got the Emma Hardy in my M&S today but I'm not keen on the scent.

Dozyoldtwonk · 14/12/2017 09:43

The Omorovicza one?

Housewife2010 · 14/12/2017 09:48

Sorry. Forgot about that one!. Maybe they should have been spaced out more. I think M&S had nail varnish two days in a row last year.

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 14/12/2017 10:12

That's a great suggestion Bella - I'm going to do it!!!

LavenderHills · 14/12/2017 10:28

I really can't get excited about another cleanser. Time for some moisturiser, please!

HLBug · 14/12/2017 11:18

We definitely got a cloth last year too. I remember because I threw it, and the accompanying cleanser, away mere weeks ago as it has never been used. Because, who has the time?!

VanillaMincePie · 14/12/2017 11:21

Maybe the cloth is in tomorrow's drawer?!

chloechloe · 14/12/2017 13:43

It had better not be vanilla, I want more than a cloth!

Myusername2015 · 14/12/2017 19:22

Hmmm I’ve been reading the house of Fraser advent thread and this liberty one is not as exciting!

LesLavandes · 14/12/2017 19:49

Happy with the Eve Lom cleanser. I take this size on my travels.

Pippin8 · 14/12/2017 20:40

I’ve been dipping in & out of all of the calendar threads & the look fantastic seems pretty good. The HoF did make me giggle, there was a tiny funnel one day 😂.

I’ve just used the eve lom & am not keen. It smells vile & my skin doesn’t feel any softer. I much prefer elemis cleansing balm. I have also used the eSPA hair mask, which smells lovely.

HLBug · 14/12/2017 21:11

So, I put yesterday’s cream on my arms this morning at 7am after my shower. Despite 2.no outfit changes (baby led weaning going spectacularly well), I still smell like bum bum Smile

Clickncollect · 14/12/2017 22:23

Although I said in a previous post that I like a cleanser, I'm not sure about this Eve Lom. I know the products are high end up it just looks so oily and unappealing! No cloth is annoying aswell and the instructions are quite long.
I've been using the Omorovicza one for the last couple of days and I'm not loving it. My skin just doesn't feel clean afterwards to the point there is still dirt on my cotton wool after using toner - never had that with a product before! Highly recommend the Skin Laundry one though, for the month I used that (sneaked it out of the calendar early) my skin felt clean and soft.

Housewife2010 · 15/12/2017 07:19

The Skin Laundry one is lovely.

caggie09 · 15/12/2017 07:20

Todays looks exciting! I have crappy eyebrows, so maybe this will work its magic!

LavenderHills · 15/12/2017 07:57

I had no idea my eyebrows required conditioning.

Alwayslasttoarrive · 15/12/2017 08:19

I’m pleased with today’s offering. I have unruly eyebrows so maybe this will help tame them. It’s also another thing I would never have sought out myself and I did want this calendar to open my eyes to new stuff. A hit with me.
