@BurningTheToast I’d love to swap the face oil for the tomato candle

Great. Drop me a DM with your address!

I'm also not in love with the hair oil if any candle-haters prefer that!

TragicMuse · 04/12/2022 15:57

I don't 'do' candles, as a rule. I like the smell of this one though. But in general candles are wasted on me.

I might sell it on.

Blossomtoes · 04/12/2022 16:27

The candle’s definitely a summer smell. It’s going away until next summer here.

TriciaMcMillan · 04/12/2022 17:27

Noooo, not a scent I want in a candle. Much as I love tomatoes, the actual plant smell is overwhelming and harsh. It's a no.

ofCourseYouHave · 04/12/2022 17:45

I don't mind the candle scent, but I agree it's not a seasonal scent. I love the face oil. I wonder what tomorrow's will be!

TabithaTittlemouse · 04/12/2022 23:28

I really like the candle.

I woke up with gorgeous skin after using the oil last night

countdowntonap · 05/12/2022 06:49

Hmm. I’ve had today’s in previous beauty boxes and calendars and never really taken to it.

MostDefinitelynotanAthlete · 05/12/2022 06:50

Today is a dud drawer for me too, simply because I already have a huge tube and only use it occasionally. Into the 'keep for holiday bag' it goes!

SunshineBoy · 05/12/2022 07:41

Not excited about today’s offering. I’ve never tried it but have quite a few hair things on the go at the moment. It might make its way into DDs 30 days of self care Christmas present. (Reusing last years liberty box)

supadupapupascupa · 05/12/2022 07:52

I'm a die hard fan of todays. More than happy. I buy regularly.

EasterIssland · 05/12/2022 08:04

I like it but I thought it’d have been the full size. Oops bit disappointment :). Do you just put it in the hair before using the straightener ? Or how do you use it?

notanicepersonapparently · 05/12/2022 08:08

Could anyone who has used this before help me out with how much of this to use? Penny sized bit like a serum/oil or palm sized amount like olaplex or conditioner? Avedas website no help on this.

Cockle1234 · 05/12/2022 08:16

I'm quite sad with todays, I had the full size last year in M&S

MyCatsSlave · 05/12/2022 08:18

I use this but I’m a bit disappointed in its size, especially when the full size has been in the much lower priced M&S calendar in previous years.

purplelicious · 05/12/2022 08:24

What with yesterday's ( when did a tomato leaf candle have anything to do with beauty?) and now todays offering, I'm a bit disappointed too.

grayhairdontcare · 05/12/2022 08:34

Today's is another dud .

Sameiam · 05/12/2022 10:02

Not much value in this one (think it’s £12 full price direct from agenda) but I’ll probably still use it so I’m fine with it

Fleecy · 05/12/2022 10:11

I buy this anyway, so I just keep the travel size for holidays. I use a really small amount through the ends of my hair, so it lasts ages.

MidnightMeltdown · 05/12/2022 10:22

Yes, for a £200+ calendar this is a disappointing drawer. They should have put it in with something else.

Scooopsahoy · 05/12/2022 10:22

I was a bit underwhelmed by todays, especially the small size. Weirdly I think I’d have been happier overall if instead of two products on day one, one of them had been day one and the other had been todays.

Also on the off chance than Liberty have an intern keeping an eye on this thread (it’s a missed opportunity if they don’t!) please can next years calendar go back to including the little individual cards which have info on the product? I don’t want to look everything up online, and the cards last year were really useful for reference.

Blossomtoes · 05/12/2022 10:35

I’m not thrilled with today’s offering. But that might be because hair products aren’t high on my wish list.

TabithaTittlemouse · 05/12/2022 10:52

I use this already so it’s not exciting but will be used. I’ll pop it in my gym bag.

HumourReplacementTherapy · 05/12/2022 11:13

Well that's rubbish! I don't mind the produce but the sample sized offering is a bit tight.

Talisin · 05/12/2022 11:30

Definitely a ‘meh’ one today. You need to do better, Liberty - this is supposed to be a luxury calendar.

On the other hand I am loving the Miracle Oil which I’ve been using the last couple of days. My skin feels lovely and supple.

Use it a bit like oil. So go steady
