I've gone in on the GWP - I got a Diptyque perfume (which also added a 10ml mini to my basket) and the Mercury Retrograde bundle. I dithered a bit on the Mercury Retrograde as I am not very woo and have no interest in the tumblestones and tarot cards - but i wanted the Charlotte Mensah stuff and also really liked the washbag. Looking at the rest of the items from the kit it's all stuff I'll be able to use.

On a total beauty ban until this time next year now - hoping next year's advent will tempt me as this one really didn't. Happy with the GWP though!

wheresmyshoe · 30/08/2023 11:30

I've gone for it, used BD credit, loyalty voucher and my gift card Smile I bought some fave products I'm out of, very pleased.

hettiethehare · 30/08/2023 11:31

Having said I was in, I sorted through my stash last night and then tried to fill my basket last night, and found myself struggling to spend the £175 with things I genuinely need, so I am out, especially as I've pre-ordered the Advent Calendar.

I will let my stash run down I think, and save up for the next GWP.

LoveLabradors · 30/08/2023 11:52

I am quite relieved to be not dazzled by the gwp. I had nothing I really want to buy and couldn’t justify it before the contents were announced. Now I’ve seen the contents I’m not fussed. I don’t like foaming cleansers, escentric molecules perfume, make up removers or ouai stuff. And I have an unused trish mcevoy eye liner and rose inc brow gel. And I’m a rare person who isn’t fussed on diptyque figiuer. Phew! Bank balance intact!
Really hope everyone who has ordered it enjoys it 😊.

MavisMcMinty · 30/08/2023 12:00

I haven’t even looked at the GWP. My birthday beauty box binge seems to have cured my addiction, for now at least. As a kid I ate about a kilo of marzipan in one go and haven’t been able to eat the stuff since, this feels a bit like that.

SwordBilledHummingbird · 30/08/2023 12:17

Mine's been shipped already :D I'm also getting a DS & Durga discovery set as I ordered a perfume. I don't actually need it as I've bought it previously but I love several of their perfumes so not complaining at getting more for free!

I’m not convinced this is accidental. It happens all the time, and with Space NK when a GWP is due. I had a fairly high priced beauty item in my basket at Liberty and it went out of stock, rather coincidentally, yesterday.

I tend to agree. They were fairly run off the mill items, shampoo and primer that I liked from the BD. They are in stock elsewhere.

MidnightMeltdown · 30/08/2023 12:55

Yeah, I tend to find that the things I want are also out of stock whenever there's a gwp. Very frustrating.

I want to cancel my beauty drop, but I want to spend all the credit first so that I don't need to worry about it expiring

EasterIssland · 30/08/2023 12:56

I’m in Nyc and been to Sephora. Bought several items that I wanted to give a try. That will be my advent calendar and gwp and not keen on any set this year.

Noeggsontoast · 30/08/2023 13:33

@SatelliteStomper we did an identical order!

I'm putting this lot away for December. I'll have forgotten what's in it by then. Plus I'll have made some more headway on my current stash.

TragicMuse · 30/08/2023 13:36

I have just decided to sort my stash into types of item and use the pretty BD boxes for storage. This feels quite revolutionary!

SatelliteStomper · 30/08/2023 14:03

We will smell divine together @Noeggsontoast!

Bimblesalong · 30/08/2023 14:32

I’ve shopped ahead for Christmas for eldest ds with some aftershave balm and hair pomade. Bought my fave dyptique candle, feu de bois as it makes me feel very nested at home when it’s burning.

Stokey · 30/08/2023 15:36

I've just spent far too long trying to get up to the spend. Was sad the Diptyque discovery set was out of stock. I ended up going for a Frederic Malle 10ml perfume, Sunday Riley retinol, a Chantecaille lipstick and a lip liner to get the final £20! Not sure if it was really worth it but most of it was my beauty drop credit. I'm thinking of cancelling this so felt good to spend it.

MavisMcMinty · 30/08/2023 15:38

How many GWPs does Liberty do per year? There was a GWP (that I didn’t get) in about April or May, will there be another this year?

Ducksinthebath · 30/08/2023 16:50

Despite insisting I was definitely not spending my credit and did not want the GWP… I’ve just placed an order.

However, I’m not even slightly interested in the wash bag so if anyone would like it posted to them, let me know and I’ll be happy to oblige.

Pigtailsandall · 30/08/2023 19:34

Argh I've just faffed around with the Blue Light discount and even though the total was still £190, even after the 10% off I can't get the GWP. I'm assuming you can't use BL discount in conjunction with the GWP?
I'm tempted by an Aesop scent but nervous about committing to one without testing it. I think tried it few years back and really liked it but I'm not sure if my memory is correct

Lotsofpots · 30/08/2023 19:47

I succumbed. And went back and forth on the mercury set before acknowledging all I wanted from it was the wash bag so I've picked it up on eBay instead. Really couldn't bring myself to spend money on rocks and incense.
But very pleased with the haul I put together.

LinaCavalieri · 31/08/2023 13:54

@SatelliteStomper I'm also looking at a Vilhelm perfume – how did you get the free 7.5ml Peony Couture?!

SatelliteStomper · 31/08/2023 14:37

@LinaCavalieri they were offering the 7.5ml with any full-size Vilhelm as a mini GWP yesterday, but I've just checked the website and it's not there anymore. These offers seem to come and go so quickly, it's hard to keep up.

wheresmyshoe · 31/08/2023 16:50

My order and GWP has arrived. I'm delighted.

WeAreBorg · 31/08/2023 17:39

Mine is here too!! I haven’t opened it as I am trying to draw out the excitement, maybe will open with a glass of wine this evening

HundredMilesAnHour · 31/08/2023 18:04

My GWP also just arrived and I'm really pleased. I think I will use everything in it so that's a win. No AC for me this year as it just didn't appeal so happy to make do with the GWP instead (famous last words!!)

SwordBilledHummingbird · 31/08/2023 18:07

Mine's due between 6:45pm and 9:45pm, which is unusually late. We're usually in bed by 9pm so I'm hoping it's here before then!

Twinsandsome · 31/08/2023 18:46

I gave in too and ordered the BIOLOGIQUE
Lotion P50 after all the talk about it earlier in the thread. I love hearing what people bought to get the GWP too. X
