If I forget perhaps someone else could post.

Merry Christmas, I’ve loved following this thread as I’ve opened my calendar, I’ve loved almost everything, although the jury is out on the perfume from today. I’ve even been using the QMS lip serum. It will be nice to try some luxury skincare and see what difference it makes

BrewThru · 25/12/2020 19:57

Brilliant thread. Have thoroughly enjoyed the calendar. Today's two in one was a great ending. Merry Christmas!

friendlyflicka · 25/12/2020 20:23

Happy Christmas, this has been a lovely escape route through December.

Don't like Santal 33 so sold it on ebay right at the beginning when I received it. But the bag is sweet.

mynameiscalypso · 25/12/2020 21:25

Have loved the thread too - it's definitely encouraged me to use the products too rather than hoard them for best which I've done previously and then never bothered using them. I have always got compliments when I've used the Le Lobo in previous years so lovely to have another to add to the collection.

friendlyflicka · 25/12/2020 21:47

I sort of like the idea of it, but it goes a bit sour on me.

imp2007 · 25/12/2020 22:01

Merry Christmas everyone hope you've all had a fab day. Thanks so much for this thread has really added to my enjoyment of the calendar - hoping the lovely products will keep me feeling cheery through January!!!

Nc135 · 26/12/2020 09:03

Merry Christmas and thank you for this thread. The Liberty calendar really does give different bits and pieces to what I would usually use.

I am using everything! I love the lip pencil for a bit of Christmas lip cheer! I have the Smoke hourglass if anyone wants to swap it for Aura. Please PM me.

The perfumes have been lovely. Yes the lip thing is odd but am slapping it on anyway! Lots of lovely things and has cheered me up in a weird news period. Thanks all.

Pomegranatespompom · 26/12/2020 09:50

Morning,

I’ve a few swaps if anyone interested:
Santal 33 - 1 squirt used
Nars pencil - unopened
QMS lip line corrector - unopened
Aura Hourglass - dabbed a tiny bit

Tinseltrauma · 26/12/2020 11:59

This has been an interesting experiment for me. Dh usually buys me the M and S one and after serious research bought me this one as a substitute. I don't wear a lot of makeup so skin and hair luxuries are perfect and I was interested to see what the extra £££ bought.
Conclusion is I think it was a bit wasted on me, I don't know skincare brands well enough so the top end stuff doesn't mean much. I've loved the hair care and the shower stuff and adore the Dear Polly perfume but things like the lip serum have left me a bit cold. I think we may be back to M and S next year if they do one. Going to give most of it a go though and see if I can see any difference!

I have the following swaps if anyone is interested?

Lip line corrector squirted once
Santal perfume unused

Merry Christmas all - and a happy, healthy new year.

This has been a great thread, although I've often only lurked.

Thank you to everyone who's contributed. Wine

Itsabeautifuldaytosavelives123 · 26/12/2020 13:56

Thanks to this thread I see I've missed an item, I don't remember getting day 23 bath powder - must go see! I'm not sure I would repurchase, I'm not loaded enough Grin I liked the luxury items, but just didn't 'feel' it through the month.

Gotthetshirt23 · 26/12/2020 15:12

I didn't have a liberty calendar however followed the thread as would love one .
I'm interested in the hourglass ? You all seem very impressed with it and have seen a few on eBay . Do you think it's worth purchasing ?

Polpette · 26/12/2020 15:52

@Gotthetshirt23 yes yes yes. The Hourglass eyeshadow is great and I'm usually very hard to please. I'll be buying one in another colour I love it so much.

Stokey · 26/12/2020 17:11

I've really enjoyed the calendar and thread, it's been a much needed bit of luxury and cheer this month. We all ended up getting Covid in the last week, I got my positive test result on Christmas Day, so it's nice to think I'll have something to pamper myself with when I'm feeling a bit better. Merry Christmas everyone.

imp2007 · 26/12/2020 19:29

Oh no @Stokey hope you feel better soon x x @Gotthetshirt23 yes yes yes to the hourglass - I've literally worn it everyday!!! It's fab x

supadupapupascupa · 26/12/2020 19:43

I've loved this calendar and will be getting one next year.
Highlights for me were the M+G balm, dear Polly perfume, Venn serum, seed serum, rich cream, essential oil for shower,

Thank you for adding that little extra every day, I've loved our chats.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year xxx

Gotthetshirt23 · 26/12/2020 20:21

Ok , I'm rubbish at beauty things , pale skin , hazel eyes and dark (white bastard highlights)

I'm not keen on the very gold one but any suggestions for a colour - they've got a chart on an arm on the eBay listings ?

No idea ......

friendlyflicka · 26/12/2020 21:52

I have an unused - not a squirt - Dear Polly, if anyone wants to swap for another colour of the Hourglass. I have Reflect, interested in any other shades, if anyone doesn't want them and loves the perfume.

TheChosenTwo · 27/12/2020 08:17

Love the smell of the Santal perfume but it really reminds me of something very familiar (other than Parma violets!), perhaps another perfume. I can’t put my finger on it.

Polpette · 27/12/2020 11:29

@Gotthetshirt23 sounds like Smoke would work well on you. Or Burnish if you want to go more gold.

@TheChosenTwo Santal really reminds me of something too but just can't figure out what.

allycat4 · 27/12/2020 23:47

@Tinseltrauma I'd be interested in the Santal perfume - is there anything you're after?

Tinseltrauma · 28/12/2020 09:56

@allycat4 I love the Polly perfume, halfway down it already. Any good?

allycat4 · 28/12/2020 11:36

@Tinseltrauma ah no, sorry! I'm a bit of a perfume addict

Pomegranatespompom · 28/12/2020 12:28

I’d like to swap the nars pencil and santal perfume if anyone interested.

Tinseltrauma · 28/12/2020 12:51

@allycat4 No worries!
