I'm hoping others will join me to discuss liberty advent calendar. In line with other threads 0700 earliest for the days contents?

Well I never...oil on last! I used to watch QVC and the Decleor lady always put it on first, so I followed her lead....I still love the oil in this advent though.

purplelicious · 08/12/2022 08:14

We must be due a lot of full size products in the rest of this calendar....apparently there are 16 I remember reading?

R00tat00tt00t · 08/12/2022 08:18

More hair products?! I hope that's the last of them unless there's some kind of scalp mask or similar. I'd love some make-up to be honest but I'm not sure there is any in this calendar?

purplelicious · 08/12/2022 08:21

And just realised that today's hair product is full size too....

I would love some make up too, surely there are a few bits? I didn’t want to spoil the surprise by looking at the contents before buying, but getting 2 non expensive travel mini hair products is definitely disappointing..

Oh really? It seems v small..

Talisin · 08/12/2022 08:25

IIRC, there are two or three makeup items in the contents.

It's definitely full size. I actually bought one earlier this year and I haven't used it all up yet as you only use a tiny bit so it lasts for ages. I like it. Much more practical / better than the hair oil.

Zoetrope1 · 08/12/2022 08:29

I’m accumulating so many hair products from goody bags and advents, but this is nice to have.

There definitely are a few make up items coming up.

Another hair product. I have to be honest and say I’m disappointed.

R00tat00tt00t · 08/12/2022 08:46

That's good to know @Talisin and @Zoetrope1 . I only took a quick squint at a photo of the full contents as enjoy the surprise but was worried there might not be any make up. Ideally I'd like a mascara, eyeshadow and blush as can't really go wrong with those.

supadupapupascupa · 08/12/2022 08:48

The amount of hair products was partly why I chose it. I don't like makeup in mine as I'm fussy

dazzlingdeborahrose · 08/12/2022 08:53

I must say there is a limit to how much product I can put on my skin and hair. Hoping for a bit more variety going forward.

Blossomtoes · 08/12/2022 08:54

I’m not fussed about make up either but three hair products in eight days feels excessive. I’m all about skin care and fragrance.

Zoetrope1 · 08/12/2022 09:03

@R00tat00tt00t there are about 4 make up items from memory but I’m not sure you’ll get everything on your list.

I don’t want to give too much away but It’s definitely skincare and hair care heavy with a few fragrance / scent type items too.

Sameiam · 08/12/2022 09:28

today is alright but nothing special. Product is only £10 to buy straight out so not expecting miracles, but I have thick hair that defaults to frizzy so i can always find room for hair products

WonkyFeelings · 08/12/2022 09:32

I’m a bit disappointed, I don’t usually do much with my thin hair so I really don’t have a need for another hair product. Will gift it.

Talisin · 08/12/2022 11:42

A word of warning to anyone who checked the digital advent for todays product info, didn’t find it particularly helpful and clicked the link to the website. They have linked to the shampoo - the product in the calendar is not the shampoo. Ask me how I now know this…

Cockle1234 · 08/12/2022 12:13

supadupapupascupa · 08/12/2022 08:01

Mine gets logged on my stash spreadsheet with date, and then put away. I have so much now I need to use in order so it doesn't go out of date. No need to buy anything during the year!

How do you know what the use by dates are? I don't know if I'm hoarding things for longer than I should Xmas Blush

Have you washed your hair today?

what is it what we’ve received ?

I have washed my hair today. Twice as it happens 😆

It’s a finishing cream apparently. To quote the somewhat more useful info from Cult Beauty’s site:

‘Pop a pea-sized amount onto your palm and rub into your hands like hand cream, then use on dry hair to add definition and shine, define curls or to calm down flyaways. Add a little to damp hair on mid lengths and ends and blow dry in to create a perfect polished finish. Or better yet add a small amount to freshly washed damp hair and simply leave to air dry.’

Hope you’ve got a super polished finish !!!

grayhairdontcare · 08/12/2022 17:02

I'm just slightly underwhelmed by it all so far.

I'm going to try the leave to airdry tonight. Purely because I feel rotten with flu. My hair when I'm ill is generally lank and horrid. I can't go wrong really. I'll update tomorrow when I have luscious bouncy and healthy looking locks 🤭

@dazzlingdeborahrose thanks for that list of what goes where, when!
