Today's was timely. My lips are so dry and chapped. I'm enjoying the calendar. It was a present from my husband so no clue what's coming up. The teen daughter will benefit from anything I don't want so jobs a good 'un.

Hmm. Today’s product is ‘out of stock’ on many websites, including Liberty. Is this more ‘end of line’ stock being shifted through the calendar?

It’s not the first product I see from Liberty that is out of stock

I like this. It looks like it's available on Amazon although out of stock on their own website.
It's massive for a lip balm but I guess that's just more product really, and it does say you can use on cheeks to protect skin when it's very cold.
Feels moisturising but not sticky.

Lovely big stick of L A Bruket Lip balm. Nothing could be more useful in this weather. I’ve used it straight away. For @SpongeBobJudgeyPants and anyone else who’s interested here is the value update. By day 10 we were up to £284 by my calculations. This retails for £12 at Liberty making the total to date £296.

Crickey, that’s a chunk of a lip balm! Very useful though, I have multiple lip balms on the go all over the place - especially at this time of year.

petitebleu · 11/12/2022 09:28

I can't excited about a lip balm, although it certainly is very timely with this cold snap.

Toomanylosthours · 11/12/2022 09:32

Todays is very exciting. New product for me, i generally use the laneige products, really looking forward to seeing how I get on with todays item.

On another note... highly recommended those who have fine fly away hair to try a smidge of the Larry King product from a few days ago, generally I shy away from hair products, my hair becomes limp and greasy. However, this really worked! Removed static, stopped flyaway. I used a tiny smidge as have hair just above shoulders and a day later my hair is still feeling good

That's my kind of hair! Did you just comb it through on your fingers?

My hair turns into a frizzy mess at the drop of a hat. Well, literally! Drop a hat on my hat and I become a cast member in the live action remake of the Hair Bear Bunch...

A hair product that gives me bouncy waves and curls for more than a few minutes is the holy grail! I'll try it later on!

TabithaTittlemouse · 11/12/2022 11:02

I love today’s lip balm. It’s not at all greasy like some.

TriciaMcMillan · 11/12/2022 11:25

Very happy today. Smells lush, very moisturising. It's a win!

Blossomtoes · 11/12/2022 11:43

Nice lip balm, it’s gone in the pocket of my dog walking coat.

pepperaunt · 11/12/2022 11:54

A bit late for yesterday but am getting annoyed with the number of hair products. Also, with this in particular, I refuse to either waste the hot water or wait around in a (very) cold bathroom for the required 5 minutes. Very happy with a new lip balm to try, as I tend to leave one in all of my bags

WeAreBorg · 11/12/2022 12:17

Love the lip balm!
My youngest has already confused it for a Pritt Stick though so will hide it in my pockets

MyCatsSlave · 11/12/2022 13:55

Very happy with todays, used it straightaway and it feels great.

Tragic I applied it to damp hair with my head tipped upside down to make sure I only applied to ends and and not hair in direct contact with scalp. Hope that makes sense?!

TragicMuse · 11/12/2022 16:01

Perfect sense, thank you toomanylosthours!

Cockle1234 · 11/12/2022 16:41

I love the lip balm. It's my favourite offering so far

Personally a bit disappointed about the lip balm. I usually wear lip balm with a bit of colour (cos I’m lazy and it saves applying lipstick!) Other than that I don’t really use lip balm and it definitely doesn’t excite me.

notanicepersonapparently · 11/12/2022 18:37

I use lip balm as a primer under my lipstick.

MostDefinitelynotanAthlete · 11/12/2022 20:33

I can report that my dry, damaged hair loves the Sam McNight hair mask so very happy here. I like the lip balm today as well. Their hand cream in the last Beauty Drop was also really good so I'm tempted to investigate the brand a bit more.

Ha! It does look like a pritt stick!

TabithaTittlemouse · 12/12/2022 07:07

I’ve been wanting to try today’s for a while so I’m happy!

Yeknom · 12/12/2022 07:26

Todays smells good!

HundredMilesAnHour · 12/12/2022 08:00

Unhappy today. Those damn AA rollerballs have been dished out every year for what feels like forever. I don't like AA at the best of times. Think I'd rather have more Bamford hand wash (and that's saying something!)
