Hi All,
Apologies if there is another thread about this, but I couldn't find it. So I thought I would start one.
Happy to get it deleted if there is one already, if not - happy unboxing, let's hear what you think :)

I’ve had M&S for the past two years but have the Liberty one this year.
Can’t wait!

Are we allowed to post spoilers?
Opened mine, smells delicious and looking forward to using it later!

TerpsichoreanMuse · 01/12/2019 08:20

Looking forward to using this one!

Chickydoo · 01/12/2019 08:24

Does smell lovely, might save for a weekend away though.
Nice to get both in one drawer.

Pomegranatepompom · 01/12/2019 08:35

Pleased, looking forward to trying.

LEELULUMPKIN · 01/12/2019 08:52

With regards to spoilers, the thought seems to be on the M&S thread that anything after 07am is fine.

Please say what you've got so that those of us who didn't get the calendar can enjoy hearing about the products!

BloodyCats · 01/12/2019 09:21

Looking forward to smelling like a cake Grin

Not sure how long they will last on my thick hair but a nice treat all the same.

I open mine with the kids and they were very excited to get two things in one drawer! I like Aveda but am trying not to use shampoo (curly hair) so will wait till I travel to use these.

Writersblock2 · 01/12/2019 09:40

I don’t have this calendar but I am interested. Great first day!

LEELULUMPKIN · 01/12/2019 09:56

Mmmmm... I am going to smell like A bakewell Tart!

Me too Writer. Going to follow along although I don't have it,

GinandGingerBeer · 01/12/2019 10:57

I wasn't sure if I was getting one this year as we're tightening the purse strings but I did! GrinGrinGrin
Very pleased with the Aveda, I've always wanted to try it.
What do you all do with your empty liberty calendars?I must have about 5 up in the loft. A couple have Xmas baubles in, can't think of a use for the rest. They're too beautiful to get rid of and I'd like to keep them and use them.

GinandGingerBeer · 01/12/2019 11:11

Also, I'm making a solemn pledge....
I GinandgingerBeer will not be saving for best/saving for holiday/saving for overnight trip/saving until I can justify using it...... etc.
I always save stuff then it just ends up in a miniatures basket along with other freebies and doesn't get used or I'm not sure how to use it as the cards in the calendar still!
So there it is in writing!
It's gonna kill me using that aveda instead of saving for a weekend away where I'll forget to take it anyway Grin

LEELULUMPKIN · 01/12/2019 11:13

If you could bear to part with them and want to make a bit of extra cash Gina, you could sell them on Ebay.

I don’t have this one but I really wanted it so will be living vicariously through you lot.

I have the body wash from today’s range and it’s gorgeous!

Wolfcub · 01/12/2019 11:41

Very pleased with my day one l'occitane calendar (the bigger one). I'm away for a couple of days so I think I might save tomorrow's to open on Tuesday and have double-bubble

Wolfcub · 01/12/2019 11:42

Totally posted on the wrong thread there

GinandGingerBeer · 01/12/2019 11:53

Yes, could sell, but that would involve being organised! Grin
Probably missed the boat for that one this year, might sell them next November!

BloodyCats · 01/12/2019 13:16

I’ve got 4 sat up in my wardrobe, every year I think I must sell them and then completely forget.

I’ve made a point of not snooping on the contents this year so looking forward to surprises. I hope Votary makes an appearance.

BloodyCats · 01/12/2019 13:17

Good point Gin. I will do the same! No point getting such a lovely treat for it to sit gathering dust.

LEELULUMPKIN · 01/12/2019 13:28

Empty boxes were selling a while ago for £25-30. Also if you re-filled it with products you won't use you would get even more for them.

That is what I am planning on doing next year. Even if they don't sell I will use them as Christmas Gifts, thus saving that way.

Keepsmiling1 · 01/12/2019 14:25

I will also be following this thread! Couldn't afford the price tag but may consider next year if it's good!

AesopsMables · 01/12/2019 16:46

Marking place, v happy with Aveda shampoo/conditioner today. Smells divine

PinkysEars · 01/12/2019 17:37

I'm in too.

Happy with this as I've had it before and absolutely love the smell. I also have curly hair Doubleraspberry and I didn't find that it made my hair frizzy at all (I do still wash with shampoo as I don't follow the Curly Girl method).
