Liberty Beauty Drop

Is it worth it?

I've never bought any beauty products from Liberty.

I usually purchase most of my skincare and make up products from Lancome.

What are the beauty boxes like?

What do you spend the £20 on?

I’m currently sat here debating subscribing or not, I missed it when they launched last year... I have read people use their credit on fabrics and cosmetics. Some say they are saving the balance for the famous advent calendar at Christmas.

As far as I know there have been 2 boxes so far, last one was Jan. I looked on Instagram to see what was in them.

I just joined up today after being on the wait list. Looking forward to seeing my first box!

Tibtab · 07/03/2022 13:16

I’m pretty happy with it, the thing to remember is it’s basically a free box because you get the credit to spend. I buy Diptyque candles from Liberty so just use my Beauty Drop balance to pay.

Brogues · 07/03/2022 19:12

I’ve bought a real variety of stuff. Radicchio plate, slip hair ties, hot chocolate, beauty boxes as gifts, Liberty shower cap, shower gel…

countdowntonap · 07/03/2022 19:16

I’ve signed up today and saving the credit towards the advent calendar (as mentioned by a pp) is a great idea!

Brogues · 07/03/2022 19:16

Someone did a fabulous comparison of gifts with purchase and their relative RRP and the Liberty sub deal isn’t as good as some of those but I personally like the freedom to be able to spend in smaller amounts when I want something rather than all at once. I can also send birthday gifts with free p&p to a different address for example. Horses for courses - the boxes are just a bonus for me I suppose.

Orangeslemon · 07/03/2022 21:45

I’ve been signed up since the start and I’ve loved the boxes so far but I’ve been struggling to know how spend the credit! I find the website selection quite limited. I appreciate that you don’t have to spend it just on beauty (although they don’t advertise that…) Hope they never change that aspect. I’m planning to get either a piece of jewellery or the advent calendar eventually.

westr · 07/03/2022 22:32

I signed up today too!

Snally82 · 08/03/2022 06:59

I believe on previous threads it’s been mentioned that credit can’t be used against the beauty advent calendars

BeaLola · 08/03/2022 19:42

I have decided to join up too. I quite the thought of the box dropping through my door and being able to say spend £40 on a birthday gift and having it sent direct to friend with no p&p charges.

I have cxd a magazine subscription that I had as it was a bit samey after a while and will see how this goes

TabithaTittlemouse · 08/03/2022 20:36

I didn’t realise that you could use the credit on non beauty items!

I've been using it on stuff I wanted to try but couldn't justify! So ouai hand wash and body wash, aesop hand wash, posh candles, Olverum bath oil.. some of the men's stuff is quite good, I just picked a category and scrolled though to see what I fancied
Boppertini · 08/03/2022 21:51

I’ve signed up! Excited to use the credit towards the beauty calendar this year.
@Snally82 I just checked their Instagram and they specifically mentioned the credit can be used for the calendar, phew! Smile

@Boppertini ah fab, I hadn’t checked, just going by an earlier thread. Good news!

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 01/06/2022 20:06

I'm just adding this to an existing Liberty thread. I joined, and really liked my free box, looking forward to the next one in July. The emails tempt me though. Anyone seen the latest 'box/bag' offer, one hundred Earth Pounds! Fortunately, there wasn't enough I would use in there to make me part with that sort of dosh Grin

Boppertini · 01/06/2022 20:11

@SpongeBobJudgeyPants ugh just saw it and I want the bag!! Not too bothered about the products tho so I shall resist (unless they add a discount in a few weeks… my willpower might not survive that).

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 01/06/2022 20:30

@Boppertini I fancied the bag too! Still feel I missed out on one of the Liberty bags, as I was a second wave join to the Drop, and they just came with the first box! Although I have far too many bags (not Liberty) and could do with putting some in the charity bag.

viques · 13/07/2022 20:20

I am getting excited! Is it coming this week or am I anticipating too much?

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 13/07/2022 20:25

No, it's a treat. I don't get out much these days. Easily pleased since Covid Grin

Pruella · 13/07/2022 20:26

I love it! Always spend the vouchers on fabric.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 13/07/2022 20:32

I'm assuming it's due any minute now. I have spent my vouchers on holiday minis, and a card case I didn't really need.

Do they let you know when it has been dispatched?

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 14/07/2022 12:34

They didn't let me know last time, but others were aware it was coming. So maybe yes, maybe no. Grin

memyselfi · 14/07/2022 12:56

I've just signed up , I hope I'm in time.
It's an excellent deal getting the credit , it'll be useful for gifts.
