Sorry if I've missed anyone

@Giftwithpurchase Thank you. In the meantime I found out that the box is not new like I assumed !because they ask to register your interest instead of being able to subscribe).I didn't receive anything from them after putting my email. I see the offers are starting already, cultbeauty has 20% off drunk elephant and a few other brands today. I expect some nice offers for boxing day.
Happy Christmas everyone !

This thread is hopefully a safe space in which I can admit to making my first sale purchase from the sofa earlier tonight — the Liberty Christmas Glow Kit, which is down to £36 (theoretical value £194). I used some of my banked funds to get it.

There is also a Sleep one (slightly more expensive) and a men’s one, both 20% off as well.

Merry Christmas!

I’m ready to properly join the thread now. Been back at work a few months and didn’t do any skincare since baby was born. I went into town last week and bought the Rosie Inc Essentials set, Nars Christmas eyeshadow palette and Dr Gross peel pads as a start. Has anyone tried Rosie Inc? Not seen any posts on here, I’m happy with the products in the set though I don’t really want brow wax!

I went to Liberty to check out the Votary cleansing oil, and saw the Votary stand is doing a facial that’s fully redeemable against products. The parsley and chia cleansing oil doesn’t smell like anything, I thought it would have a nice smell. That’s why I really like buying stuff in store instead!

Will be signing up for the Liberty subscription soon and keeping a keener eye here for tips, especially in the sales!

Whoops forgot to attach photo

Does anyone know if Liberty normally do a GWP in January / February time? Or if the February one last year was just a one off? Ive put together a list of thing I "need" to spend my beauty drop points on....also wondering if a GWP will be offered if you only spend beauty drop points? Feel like these points are burning a hole in my pocket, but I also want to make sure to only use them at an optimum time GWP/points wise. First world problems, I know

Don't know the answer re Liberty though I always suspected the beauty drop meant less GWPs generally.

But here's a bargain. NAP advent calendar with 30% off.

Wait have you already got a Liberty beauty drop account? I was only able to sign up to a list for when it opens so I thought it hadn’t yet.

I have a drop account. Been paying in for 3 or 4 months now.......

@BakeOffRewatch Where did you buy the Rose Inc stuff? I’m interested but didn’t realise it was available in person! Rosie H-W has long been one of my style icons. How are you liking what you got?

I’ve been signed up for the Liberty beauty drop since October but only because I found a direct link on here - I registered my interest but didn’t get sent the link to sign up directly. Looking forward to the next box!

Spotted quite a few discounted beauty calendars this year. Feel unique is half price, and Lumene, decleor and Grazia are reduced.

Can't say that I'm tempted though. Feel Unique and Lumene look like they're full of mini products.

@ColaSoda they had the modern essentials kit in stock in the St Paul’s Space NK. It was in the South Molton Street one as well. www.spacenk.com/uk/brands/r/rose-inc/the-modern-essentials-gift-set-MUK200032293.html There’s a video of her showing how to use it here, videos of other ones too, . I think the full range is stocked only in their Hans Crescent Knightsbridge store. I like the stuff, but I’m saying that as someone who hasn’t bought makeup since 2019 and have had a baby since, so I just like having makeup! It’s easy to put on and whilst I don’t quite like what I see when I put it on (a bit doll like) I look really good out and about and get compliments on looking healthy. The brow stuff is ok, it’s meant to be “renewing”, I think Giorgio Armani Brow Maestro is far better and loads more product. The lip colour comes off easily and smells like a cheap vodka fruit cocktail but it looks really nice and nice texture, but prefer Laura Mercier Velour Extreme. I would repurchase the blush, it’s very pigmented and the cream texture is fantastic.

I went through the last thread, is this the link everyone else used? www.libertylondon.com/uk/beauty-subscription-preview/ It only lets me sign up to be notified. Oh well! So have you received a box now then? I’m kicking myself a bit for not signing up to it at the time and not buying the Liberty Director’s edit as it had everything I’d need. Was resolved at the time to wait until end of mat leave.

I’m at the stage I need a bit of makeup to look alive, but also don’t have time or energy for it, so my aim is to really go hard on the skincare now and then just a bit of blush and eyeliner.

I was on the wait list for liberty and they opened sign ups a few weeks ago, so I subscribed. The next box is mid January. I imagine they will open the sign ups again a month before the following box, so perhaps in March? Just make sure you’re on the wait list 😊

Thank you @cowskeepingmeupatnight, I will have to be patient. It does say “But hurry, spaces are limited!”.

Thank you @LizzieMacQueen for the referral code for Liberty in the last thread.

Yes box one was back in October I think. Next one due in a couple of weeks or so

I had the feelunique calendar which I opened in November and it had the least DODs for me of the several (many) I have opened so far. So I have bought it again for next year

What’s a DOD? I have the feelunique calendar in my basket…

Drawers of doom! Loved that abbreviation. Will def get a calendar next year. The John Lewis one would have been the one for me this year.

Oh wait no it was drawers of disappointment sorry

You are bad influences. I resisted all advent calendars this year as my stash is so huge, and just bought the discounted NAP one

Hi @BakeOffRewatch. Thank you so much for your thoughts on the Rose Inc. bits you bought and for the heads up about the event! Have signed up in the hope I’ll be scheduled to wfh that day

The Best of SpaceNK no. 3 kit is down from £90 to £49.50 in the sale. (I know it’s not strictly a GWP but the value makes it seem relevant here)

Hi all - hope everyone is having a positive NY so far! I had a crazy end of last year - barely managed to find the time to open my advent calendars
I've been getting various discount codes from CB and Space NK - CB currently 20% off nearly everything. Their sales are pretty good too - loving the Hourglass palette sale find.
Just waiting for the next Liberty drop to arrive now - I really loved the Rose cream from the last one - but nothing else wowed me.

@BakeOffRewatch extremely tempted by that Votary facial at Liberty ...
