The handcream smells manky to me on first application but it settles and feels really moisturising. Soaks in super quick too - I might have a winner.

EarlNeedsAHome · 18/07/2023 17:47

Also not a fan of the perfume - it's given me a cracking headache! But like the box overall and lovely to have a free treat. I like the Spacemasks, but then again I liked the coffee scrub so I'm just a weirdo really 😂

Housewife2010 · 18/07/2023 17:59

After a day if avoiding spoilers, my box has finally arrived & I'm delighted. Ive had every one & I think this is my favourite yet.

Have you been in from the start, @Housewife2010 ? When did it begin?

@TheChosenTwo I have chronic migraines and never thought to try the masks, do they help then?

They don’t actually help with the migraine but I use them once the worst has subsided and the medication has shifted it. It just feels really relaxing and calming, the heat is very comforting.
I had a box and decided to give one a go after a migraine and it felt so nice, I always have a box in now so this one has just been added to it.

I adore the perfume. Very Opium or 1980s Estée Lauder as PPs have said. It’s very grown up fragrance. Very girly which surprised me being in the beauty drop as they have definitely shied away from anything overtly feminine when there has been a unisex option before.

My oil was In imminent danger of going everywhere - I could smell it as soon as I opened the box and feared the worst but the lid was just on a little loose. I’ve bought this before and currently out so happy with this although I would have preferred a Liberty x AA version!

Votary and REN are brands I like and I don’t remember trying either product before. Rinse off cleanser was something I was looking for this drop.

Spacemasks I regularly buy but cheapies from Amazon.

Handcream I’m sure I’ll use but not something I would buy I don’t think.

Liberty don’t even try to answer queries on the drop and how it works on Facebook so I can’t see them lurking here to be honest. Their buying team must also two or three drops ahead I’d imagine anyway.

First drop was October ‘21.

Reinventinganna · 18/07/2023 18:10

Doesn’t look like I’ll be getting mine anytime soon! They delivered to the old address, the new people refused the delivery.
I’ve contacted customer services. So annoying as I made sure to change it on the beauty drop and the main website.

SwordBilledHummingbird · 18/07/2023 18:13

@TheChosenTwo Interesting! I think I'll hang on to mine and give it a try then.

Fab box. I was really thrilled with it. I love the perfume as it’s quite different from anything else I’ve got on the go. Love a body lotion so that will get used up quickly and I’ve never tried a heat mask so that’s a novelty. All in all a good mix of useful and fun.

Lotsofpots · 18/07/2023 18:22

I love this box. Perfect for my upcoming holiday, loads of brands I love. Perfume is gorgeous.
I've had all the boxes and I think this is one of the best.

PomRuns · 18/07/2023 18:22

Love this box apart from the mask. There must be store rooms with millions of the things in - they're in every flipping edit/box/advent.

SweetSakura · 18/07/2023 18:24

Ahh I always love a space mask. I use them a lot and I have horrible insomnia from steroids.

But I get what you mean about their ubiquity

AprilLady · 18/07/2023 18:25

I was somewhat worried when the parcel was delivered this afternoon and no-one was home, but pleased to report that the Yodel delivery person had more sense than the Amazon one, and managed to leave it out of sight of passers by.

I’m pretty pleased with it. Really pleased to get a perfume a hadn’t even heard of before, let alone tried, and like others really like the brand (Peony couture especially). I use bath oils all the time, and rate the AA one, so happy with that too. Everything other than the space mask will get used - though I can’t get excited about small samples of shampoo and conditioner, it must be said.

To those asking about the oils I have quite a selection and I also bought the vaporiser machine with the same scent essential oils. I use them in the shower. You run into your torso before getting wet, then inhaled from your hands deeply three times. Then get in with your day. Makes the house smell amazing. I highly recommend forest therapy

So many spelling errors. Very sorry

supadupapupascupa · 18/07/2023 18:31

I have another mask in my stash the same. Daughter and I shall use one each when she finishes school this week as a treat

I spray perfume onto the box it came in so if it's going to kick-start a migraine, I can put it outside!

The perfume really reminds me of YSL Opium ... Not my bag at all, but always fun to try new perfumes. Unfortunately my absolute fave Liberty-stocked house, Frédéric Malle, doesn't ever participate in promotions/gifts as far as I can tell. Not wildly excited about anything in this box tbh - but it's always a nice effectively free something to look forward to, and that's half the pleasure I think with these things!

It must be tough for Liberty to get the balance right between experimental products people will be really curious about getting to try for the first time, and things that a lot of people will like or find practical. With so much skincare and beauty innovation around these days, I had hoped for some products whose formulation or application was completely new to me, like the new batch of over-makeup SPF sprays or similar, whereas things like hyuralonic acid serums or a hand and body lotion feel a bit too standard for me to get inspired by them.

Oh Frederic Malle have in the past - I have had 2 good-sized perfumes, Superstition & POAL (which I have gone on to purchase...) But there definitely seems to be a bias towards Vilhelm more recently!

Pinenu · 18/07/2023 18:51

My box arrived in a bit of a sorry state. It looked as though the driver had used it for a kick around. The bath oil has spilled everywhere, which is a shame but it smells amazing so hopefully will still help to de stress me 😂

I’m very happy with the contents. It’s a great mix, no duds and lots I’ve not tried before.

FredaFox · 18/07/2023 18:53

Moon carnival is still the best Vilhelm, at first I wasn't keen on this one but once it's settled it's not bad. Have given it my mum, she loves Vilhelm

Happy with the votary, just finishing my Elemis so great timing, hand cream nothing special same as the shower gel, shampoo is nice for an overnight. I like the brand x

laclochette · 18/07/2023 19:00

Ooh that is great news! I know they never participate in any store wide discount events or offers as brand protection which I have to say I respect even as it annoys me because they are SO expensive and I love them SO much. Will hold out hope for something in a BD box or advent calendar one day....

HumourReplacementTherapy · 18/07/2023 19:12

Very happy in the main.... the perfume is a bit talcy? Reminds me of something... a powder puff maybe.
I'll See how it settles
Hand/body lotion also had a bit of a strange smell at first but now it's ok
I will TRY not to tip the whole bottle
Of aromatherapy oil all over me like I did the last one. 🤣

MouseSculptureMadeOfOldHairbrushFluff · 18/07/2023 19:16

I managed to give myself one spritz of the perfume sample and then promptly dropped it on a concrete floor.

Doh.

Just as well I didn't like it that much.
