Liberty Beauty Drop Subscription Box SPOILER - Part 4

[Housewife2010]

Getting very excited for our next box - due w/c 17th July!

@SwordBilledHummingbird I'd rather it sold too. Last weekend, Haeckels perfume sold for £20 in a matter of hours. List price is £38 so I thought that was a good result. Earlier in the year I sold an Armani gift set for £25. List on that was nearly £60 but again it sold really quickly and it had been in a cupboard for six months.

@LemonJuiceFromConcentrate my feeling (not based on any real evidence) is that you might get more on eBay but vinted is quicker and painless.

With Vinted all beauty items should be new so state that it has been used once
I'm not sure if you are covered if they receive item and complain it's been used though. So be cautious

Thanks all! I do find listing on Vinted much quicker and easier than listing on ebay though I have so far failed to sell anything. A lot of people have liked my items so no idea what I'm doing wrong!

@CinnamonCoffee - thanks for the heads up! I might have to put anything I've actually sprayed, as opposed to just sniffed, on ebay in that case and save Vinted for untested items.

I sell new beauty items because I don't want to be out of pocket. Yeah pop them on eBay! I've sold loads of my unwanted beauty things from advents and such.

I'm days too late but desperately wanted the perfume kit. I can't even find it online anymore to see what I lost out on 😥

If you can zoom in on this pic it will show you. Hopefully you're not fussed about any of them and will have been glad to miss out!

My perfume kit arrived today. I bought it quickly knowing it would sell out fast, and with credit deducted it made a nice birthday present TO ME 😂But I might return it - I've already got the Eau Capitale hair mist anyway and don't like it, so that was always going to go on Ebay. Now I'm too scared to try any off them because then I can't return. I have 2 x byredo perfumes so was excited by super cedar, and I've previously had 2 x essentric molecules (Mandarin and Patchouli versions)

Sorry, started rambling there - for the poster that asked if the perfumes are boxed yes they are, except the Vilheim Perfumery one.

Apologies, the Vyrao one is also unboxed.

@MouseSculptureMadeOfOldHairbrushFluff thanks, I wanted them ALL. Oh no. Oh well. I blame my 12-hour days. I've been too tired and lazy to check my emails.

Mine arrived an hour ago and I love all of the scents. Going to cost me a fortune on full sizes now. The bag is cute as it's a smaller size than the others, perfect for travel or make up. Off on my holidays Sunday so will be taking all of these minis. Also splurged on a Diptyque reed diffuser today which resulted in a free Liberty candle! Am banning myself from their website for the next month or so

Mine arrived too. I have only tried the hair scent so far but I really love it. And the bag is fab.

But I did need more perfume so it was very well timed for me!

My kit arrived today! I went in with the Vilhelm Parfumerie because I love the brand and their packaging. The magnetic lid is a very nice touch. Funnily enough, I joined the Beauty Drop with the intention of saving up for a full size bottle of Poets of Berlin, but it goes in and out of stock like a yo-yo, and twice now I’ve blown by credit on a great value Liberty kit instead. One day… 😅

Anyway, initial thoughts on Morning Chess is that it’s pretty masculine. Very pine-y. I don’t mind a unisex fragrance but I don’t want to smell like a man. I think it’s one of those fragrances that I’d have to be in the mood for. Also, my daughter walked in and said “what’s that horrible smell?” which is hardly a seal of approval 🤣

Mine came today as well. Still haven't opened the bag, as I 'forgot' that I signed up to the Perfume Society subscription, for the huge sum of £18/qtr.
And they're doing an offer that you get a free box when you buy one, so I had Spring and Summer delivered today as well. Now I just have to work out which ones are vegan for gifting.

@MotherofTerriers can I just say? Many bad things have happened to me in my life. My divorce, life changing health problems, lots of things. But I have survived! When I think about these things, I say to myself. " I got over not getting the blue GWP Liberty bag, so I can survive this! "

That is such wise advice @SpongeBobJudgeyPants
Once I have got over the GWP bag I will be able to apply it :)

I would’ve done the “will this still matter tomorrow? Next week? Next month? Next year?” exercise and concluded yes, it will matter until the end of time that I missed the Liberty blue bag GWP.

My sodding Scent with Love washbag still hasn't arrived. 😡Amazon claim to have attempted delivery twice. The last 'attempt' being earlier this afternoon when I was actually standing outside my home talking to one of my neighbours. Why on earth are Liberty using these Amazon Shipping muppets?! I have similar issues with my Beauty Drop box. Note that no-one else has a problem delivering to me! Feeling disappointed with Liberty and wondering if it's worth complaining or if I'll be just wasting my time???

@HundredMilesAnHour definitely contact their customer service. I have contacted them twice this year about different issues and both times they have actually surpassed my expectations in terms of how they dealt with the issue

Oh yeah my Amazon parcel was "handed to resident" except I was in work and kids in school so no one home. No parcel note left! I found it behind my recycling except it was pouring down rain yesterday! Bloody useless!

Well I suppose there are only 5 months and 11 days until Christmas…

Ooh, I had the Cult Beauty calendar last year. It was my first high end beauty calendar and I’m still working my way through the goods. It was fantastic value.

I’d love to know people’s thoughts on the perfume kit. Was excited to try Escentric Molecules ever since I first heard of it, because it’s such an interesting concept. Smelled like pretty much nothing on me.

Super Cedar - gosh this is a quiet fragrance. Very subtle. Too subtle tbh.

Debaser - the opposite! Put a little on yesterday PM and I could still faintly smell it this morning.

Berber Blonde - haven’t tried it yet but what beautiful packaging. Love a rollerball.

Sun Rae - very sunny! Lemon evokes summer but the amber and sandalwood adds warmth.
