Love forest therapy - the laundry stuff is also amazing.

MavisMcMinty · 18/07/2023 19:58

Thanks for the link to the first thread, @Housewife2010 - it was much less populated in those days! And the wash bag looked lovely! (Not that I need any more bags, I must have hundreds, and hope @SpongeBobJudgeyPants will want some when making up beauty bags later in the year.)

Neilsfavouritechilli · 18/07/2023 19:59

The shower/bath oil just smells of lavender to me - I love it but l'occitaine is a better price point for the same product.

MavisMcMinty · 18/07/2023 20:06

Oh, I managed to turn the delivery box inside out to make a lovely flowery box - thanks to whoever it was on the last thread who told me this trick! Took me a while, but easy compared with the old-fashioned waxed cardboard sharps boxes I was constantly having to construct as a student nurse.

SwordBilledHummingbird · 18/07/2023 20:16

Just adding a few bits to Vinted and thought I'd add the DS & Durga auto fragrance that I have no use for (I ended up with two). But it was immediately deleted as it's apparently not allowed on Vinted.

Does anyone know why it wouldn't be allowed?

I definitely saw these on Vinted when people first received them in the beauty box, I've also had a good look at the rules and I can't see why it wouldn't be allowed. What I did notice is that apparently any items received in beauty boxes aren't allowed, which is a surprise given that seems to be a big chunk of Vinted!

Pigtailsandall · 18/07/2023 20:21

Happily rummaging through my box now. I wasn't hugely impressed at first, mainly because my GWP in May had the Ren cleanser and the spacemask already. But I am excited about the Votary serum, bath oil and the perfume (I am definitely a Vilhelm fan). I have gallons of hand cream, so even though this looks lovely I have so much. So I might gift that, along with the hair care products, to a friend. At least I'm lucky in that I have several good friends who are just about as geeky as me about beauty and skincare

HostessTrolley · 18/07/2023 20:33

Enjoying this box, especially the perfume, even though the coriander shampoo will go into a box for my student DD who also loves anything REN.

I had to get up too early after last night's night shift as I had a lunchtime appointment, so had a headache by the time I got home this afternoon. Popped the eye mask on and closed my eyes for an hour and it did seem to help me relax and nap, I might have to have a look for the mentioned Amazon ones..

Orangeslemon · 18/07/2023 21:03

Really pleased with this quarter’s box – definitely my favourite so far!

I used the REN cleanser this evening and was surprised that it removed most of my waterproof mascara. My skin has been a bit dry and irritated today and this felt lovely and gentle.

I also used the Malin + Goetz shampoo and conditioner. Quite impressed with the shampoo, it foamed up well, didn’t feel drying and made my hair look shiny. I might buy the full size to use as my clarifying shampoo once a week. The conditioner didn’t do much for me. I used two 10ml bottles (I had another from a Space NK gift) and it still didn’t feel enough.

I’ve put the Verden on my arms and it doesn’t seem that moisturising. Perhaps it’s better for hands? It does seem to sink in quickly.

Re Aromatherapy Associates oils – I usually just rub some in my palms then put my hands over my face and inhale the scent for a few minutes.

Absolutely love the perfume and always pleased with anything from Votary Smile

EarlNeedsAHome · 18/07/2023 21:10

Did people get different Aromatherapy Associates minis? Upthread someone mentioned Forest Therapy, but I got the De-stress one. Not bothered as I like both, just curious!

I had the muscle relax one (can't remember it's exact name,). I do like them all though!

Zoetrope1 · 18/07/2023 21:17

I got de-stress muscle too

PacificState · 18/07/2023 21:56

Bit of a wash-out for me. Very bored with Verden and Votary (still have an unopened identical Votary serum from an advent box, and Verden samples seem to be on repeat in these boxes). Hand cream, cleansers - already have firm favourites and not looking for new ones. Tiny silly shampoo sample. AA products smell like Vicks. I only like Dear Polly from Vilhelm, although to be fair I discovered that via a Liberty advent box sample. And I hate masks! My sons' girlfriends are in for a bonanza next time I see them.

However, I nearly have enough now to get the advent calendar for 'free' so it's all fine.

Stokey · 18/07/2023 22:19

This box is a bit middle of the road for me. I'll use it all but no wow products and I'm not really a fan of the perfume. I think it smells a bit masculine for me. It reminds me of something but think it's a male 80s fragrance, was also singing the song though!

I'm also team Frederic Malle @laclochette @LordEmsworth . The Fenwick's calendar this year had a 10ml Musc Ravageur. My go-to is POAL but have been getting into Synthetic Jungle recently as a good every day summer scent. I spent most of my Liberty's money on a 30ml bottle recently.

I'm thinking of cancelling for a while and going for the Haeckel's one instead to try some different products.

Lyn29 · 18/07/2023 22:42

Loving the box so far..... have the serum on and about to go to sleep with the sleep mask, will use the shampoo and conditioner but not sure if enough for whole head, can't wait to use the bath oil at the weekend and I'm going to gift the hand cream and cleanser. Not decided on the perfume yet Grin

MaggyNoodles · 19/07/2023 05:10

@SwordBilledHummingbird I contacted Vinted about this after having something deleted that lots of other people were selling. They basically said they don't allow any reselling and it's just down to luck whether you get caught or not.

GayPareeee · 19/07/2023 07:14

@SwordBilledHummingbird I'll buy the car fragrance things, DH loves them. Also happy if you want to part swapped for anything in this box (other than the Ren).

Reading the description of the perfumes I can't believe we've all got the same ones? Darling Nikki?? More than happy to send to anyone who wants it, it is definitely a migraine trigger for me.

One point with the space masks, I too use them for migraines which is fine but if you fall asleep with them on you wake up with sweaty eyelids which is a bit weird!

Probably the title you’re trying to sell.
I tried selling some wooden toys that was sun or moon something like that and vinted kept deleting it. I kept arguing with them and kept getting a sorry these type of items aren’t allowed. At the end I got rid of the word and just put grapat wooden toys and sold within an hour :)

@GayPareeee if you are offering, I'll gladly take the perfume! I'm saving up for a Vilhelm perfume but it'll take a while for me to get there 😅

H3lloMums · 19/07/2023 07:41

The oil I got was destress muscle (would be happy to swap?) and perfume is darling Nikki which is very sweet and not masculine at all?

WeAreBorg · 19/07/2023 07:50

Love this box. Cleansers are too boring for me to buy so getting one in a box is great as I still have a seated queen one to use to.

Perfume is lovely! It’s quite old fashioned initially but once it settles it’s very warm and glam. I shall don my faux fur coat and red lipstick immediately and head to work.

Im saving up the excitement of refolding the box for tonight just to prolong the BD fun

SwordBilledHummingbird · 19/07/2023 09:05

@MaggyNoodles Ah ok, it was immediately removed so obviously been flagged somewhere.

@GayPareeee I only have one now (well, I do have two but one is hanging in the downstairs loo so you probably don't want that one!), sorry if that was a bit misleading! I'd be happy to swap though. Would you be willing to swap for the serum?

Conqueeftador · 19/07/2023 09:41

SwordBilledHummingbird · 18/07/2023 16:53

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

I find wearing an eye mask when I’m having a migraine in the day really helps. It makes it completely dark, which makes things a little more bearable.

This is the first time I’ve seen anything about Liberty beauty drop, so thanks for this post. I’ve just signed up.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 19/07/2023 10:34

Those of you with broken stuff...Liberty have replaced for me so worth a call. @MavisMcMinty those sensible women who were in at the birth of BD were probably also the women who got the GWP with the Isis bag of wonderfulness, that I have always regretted not getting!

Stopyourhavering64 · 19/07/2023 11:09

My box is still at Yodel depot!....last time this happened was with a case of wine at Christmas ( which never arrived!)

loz12345 · 19/07/2023 12:15

@SpongeBobJudgeyPants you were right about Liberty customer service I was expecting them to send me a
new perfume as that was the only damaged item I received but they have just emailed to say that they are replacing the whole box and I can keep the original as an apology- really please with the speed they have got back to me and the service.
