Liberty advent calendar thread

[cedoren]

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.

They sold out online in 36 hours this year

I actually had a half used bottle of this at home which I got out the other day after peeking into day 1. It's surprisingly good - gives good volume but without weighing hair down.

Hmm, I wasn't too excited with it, but it's not something I've tried before so I'll give it a go

I’m loving it already! I use the thickening tonic so excited to try this one. So glad I splurged already.

Loving day 1 - it’s just as nice as my usual texture spray (which kind of does the same job), so I won’t have to re-purchase for a while.

I have to say, yes it was a lot of money for an advent calendar - but it’s very well put together, great quality as you’d expect and I’ll reuse the boxes next year for a homemade calendar for the DC. Winning all round.

Day one is never very exciting in my humble experience

My day one was not a hair product 😳

So what actually was the day1 product?

I don't usually use something like this in my hair, but willing to give it a try and I know just the person to pass it along to if it's not for me.

Already excited for opening day 2 tomorrow

Pretty happy with day one - volumizing tonic is not something I've tried before so I could certainly do with it! Will make an effort to wash my hair tomorrow....
That's what I like about the advent calendar - a mix of different products across a variety of brands. Some that I already use and others I haven't tried so takes me out of my comfort zone.

What did you get pippin I'm intrigued!?

aridane Day 1 was an Aveda volumising tonic.

I got Brazilian Bum Bum cream. It smells divine & it so lovely I slapped it on everywhere. I also googled it & it retails at £22.

I’m happy with the volumising tonic, although would have been happier if I’d not seen it all over social media before I’d opened it.

I opened box 1 with wet hair and was able to immediately use the Avesta spray. It certainly created volume but wouldn’t say it gave me high shine. I don’t use anything in my hair but I liked this. My hair looks better this evening (more volume) than normal. I’ve suffered with thinning hair since having a child (hormones ) so I’m happy. Will probably use for nights out and special days at work

Avesta?! Aveda obvs

Also it hasn’t irritated my scalp (like many styling products do)

I’ve a bit meh about today - the smell is not agreeing with me one bit!! Just used it in the shower and my skin is softer though - I seem to remember DH using this last year more than me. Meh.

Im happy with day 2, ive never used a powder scrub so im willing to give it ago

Today's a bit boring

Day 2. I've found Dermalogica's other exfoliants rather harsh for my skin but haven't tried this one. Will give it a try and pass it on to DS if it's not right for me.

I've still got some left from last year's calendar of today's offering! Although I see it is now anti-aging. I quite like it as a face wash, will have to make more of an effort to actually use it up this time.

Day 2 - this was in last years box as well, which I think is a bit poor from them - yes, use the same brands but at least mix the products up a bit! Having said that, I don't mind it and will use it up.

Actually, I am being a bit thick as it's Superfoliant this year and it was Microfoliant last year, wasn't it? So not exactly the same product, but near enough to make me think it was!

I'm actually excited about today's product!
I regularly use Dermalogica's Microfoliant, so I'll be keen to try the Superfoliant. I haven't used a charcoal product before; has anyone else? If it works better I'll switch over permanently.

I’m really pleased with today’s superfolient. At first I thought it was Tony - only 13g- bit you don’t need very much to get it to foam up in your hand so it’s going to last me ages
