I have a mere £20 in credit and I think I’m pretty set on not having a big ticket advent calendar this year. I have so much skincare to get through 😅

I’m going to stick with the BD because I have no doubt there will be plenty of future kits to tempt me.

MavisMcMinty · 12/09/2023 00:07

I haven’t spent any of my BD credit since joining in late March, but have bought 3 of their lovely kits with my own money, as it were. Haven’t quite spent enough yet to earn any vouchers, but at the end of this month I’ll have £140 in the account. I joined to use it as a savings scheme for the Liberty AC, as it’s 150% more expensive than any other AC I’ve ever bought, and next year will just buy it contents unseen with all my lovely credit.

I love the kits and the lovely washbags they come in, I can see me buying lots more. The recent GWP didn’t appeal, to my disappointment, I’d considered blowing all my credit on that.

It’s my favourite of my four beauty box subscriptions, and the best value for money.

It came through on an email @Orangeslemon looked very misty and magical. I think I've interpreted it correctly, no guarantees though!

SwordBilledHummingbird · 12/09/2023 09:45

I haven't seen any email about the new launch and I'm sure I get all the Liberty emails. Very curious now!

MotherofTerriers · 12/09/2023 10:38

I haven't had an email about it either
But there is often a new kit launched shortly after a beauty drop top up so hopefully there will be one soon

Housewife2010 · 12/09/2023 14:37
  • Does anyone know anything about Bibbi Parfum Ghost of Tom EDP 10ml from the AC? I've been searching & can't find any details anywhere.

Thanks for the new thread @Housewife2010 !
I always struggle to read/post on the threads as they get full.

I’m not cancelling. I’ve purchased so many new products that are now firm favourites since trying them in the BD.

Boppertini · 12/09/2023 15:07

I cancelled for a bit earlier this year and then re-subscribed. I was lucky and they ended up sending me the box that I had missed as well. Similar to a few others, I’m mainly enjoying the beauty kits so will continue to subscribe for a while to build up funds (might rethink it if the next box is terrible, but I’ve found most of them to be decent!)

MavisMcMinty · 12/09/2023 15:11

TBH I wish I could put more into my BD account each month. Wish they’d enable it, somehow!

Housewife2010 · 12/09/2023 18:03

There is a mystery item in the Liberty AC. Keep checking for unboxings so I can find out what it is. Wonder if it's Lisa Eldridge which has just been launched there? If it is, I reckon there would be a rush on sales.

I had enough for the GWP but everything I wanted was out of stock. Hopefully there will be a good kit very soon.

listsandbudgets · 12/09/2023 19:13

Credit was £20 after AC but.. now it's zero as I needed to order some more Seated Queen cold cream

Notellinganyone · 12/09/2023 19:16

What is GWP? I’m new to BD but loved the last box and like the fact it is free - IYSWIM.

listsandbudgets · 12/09/2023 19:19

Just used the Rose Gold eye mask - can't remember which box / kit it came in but it's been there for a while waiting for me to find 20 spare minutes to use it!! It was an interesting sensation and I suppose my eyes do feel a bit cooler and the skin aound them is a little bit glowy but I'm not sure I'll be racing to buy another

MavisMcMinty · 12/09/2023 19:28

I don’t need to buy eye masks, I must have dozens of them from my beauty boxes! I have learnt not to use them at night, as the effects are so short-lived, but have definitely seen great (short-term) results from some of them. My main gripe is never knowing which side of the mask goes onto the skin, the instructions aren’t always clear.

Gift with purchase, aka “spend £xxx and get all this stuff for free” 😄

listsandbudgets · 12/09/2023 21:23

I hope so. forget the perfumes I'm head of heels in love with the boxes

ApoodlecalledPenny · 12/09/2023 21:30

I really think I get my moneys worth (and then some). I spent this years box money on a perfume, and two creams that I wouldn’t have bought otherwise due to cost but love. And because there was a beauty gift offer, got a load of free products to boot. If anything - too much stuff.

Same!

EasterIssland · 12/09/2023 21:35

Maybe the surprise is anothe candle like last years 😂 what a disappointment that was

I’ve done some digging and found this article about Liberty launching its own beauty brand, starting with fragrances next month: https://theindustry.beauty/liberty-unveils-biggest-launch-to-date-with-new-lbty-beauty-brand/

I wonder if one of these will be the mystery advent calendar item?

Good work. I reckon that's likely. Also, their introduction coincides with the next BD, so I think we may get samples of the new range in our next box.

AprilLady · 12/09/2023 21:48

Thanks for the detective work @Orangeslemon . I also guessed right then in the recent competition.

I think the mystery item in the calendar must be one of the new fragrances (or a discovery set with more than one). I did my usual spreadsheet analysis of the calendar and couldn’t get close to the quoted RRP “value” without the mystery gift, so I assume it is a perfume with a £££ price tag.

MavisMcMinty · 12/09/2023 23:07

Only another few weeks until the next drop! Blimey, the year’s disappearing fast. It’s the equinox next week!

Greengrassohla · 12/09/2023 23:33

Oooh, lovely packaging on those fragrances
