Greedy me thought they might be 2 in the box , it was so heavy . But really impressed luxurious packaging and a lovely colour. Happy today .

PacificState · 14/12/2023 07:43

Lovely packaging but this peachy shade (Commuter) is instant death for me, sadly.

Pollydollydoodle · 14/12/2023 08:14

Gorgeous packaging and love the magnetic close . Had one swipe of it and goes on lovely but way too pink for me. Happily swap for the mascara if anyone wanted to x

QueefofSheena · 14/12/2023 08:16

I'm really happy with the lipstick, I got Commuter which will be perfect for my skin tone

listsandbudgets · 14/12/2023 08:52

another for DDs stocking. i've never worn make up but she loves it so it was always intended for her.

i've not opened it... but its so heavy! if someone with Ckmmuter would be able to sbow photo of the lipstick tself so i can see the colour i'd be grateful. Thanks

Try this @listsandbudgets Byredo Lipstick 3g | Liberty (libertylondon.com)

I got Commuter shade too. I'm debating opening it as I don't wear make up and my niece is only 12 so it doesn't really seem like a gift I could give her.

I would rather have had a larger bottle of yesterday's exfoliant but everyone has different tastes.

Probably first thing I won't use . However my son uses this on his teenage skin .

I like this idea! One for my 16 year old son's stocking.

The packaging is beautiful. I really like the way the magnet makes it shut sad. I also got Commuter, it does feel like a proper treat.

I sat for a good while in bed this morning opening and closing it with the magnet. I got Commuter as well and it looks like a good shade for me.

Buster27 · 14/12/2023 09:28

The packaging makes today's feel like a real treat. I got commuter, looks nice and looking forward to trying.

listsandbudgets · 14/12/2023 09:37

@casuarinatree and @LittleBearPad I spent ages doing that with the Morning Chess bottle that came in the Scent with Love kit earlier this year.

@Waspie Thanks .. whyn didnt I think if that ?

Growlybear83 · 14/12/2023 09:57

I'm very disappointed with today's lipstick. I always wear lipstick when I go out but I really don't like this colour.

Fatlegs46 · 14/12/2023 10:14

Oh today’s is fancy! I got Commuter and I was initially a bit disappointed when I put on the colour, but actually I think I’ll use it in the spring and summer- I just prefer darker shades in the winter.

UnderstatedElegance · 14/12/2023 10:27

I'm really enjoying this year's calendar. The lipstick feels very luxurious indeed.

FizzyLaser · 14/12/2023 12:47

Surely everyone gets the same colour?

clowniform · 14/12/2023 13:00

There were 2 possibilities: Commuter (satin, lighter) or Solid Ground (matte, warmer). Glad I got Commuter, though agree with @Fatlegs46 it feels more like a spring shade to me. I find the wavy case mesmerising, so doubles as fidget toy year 'round 😅

AnneShirleysNewDress · 14/12/2023 13:01

FizzyLaser · 14/12/2023 12:47

There are 2 colours, Commuter and Solid Ground.

LadyHester · 14/12/2023 13:36

I got Solid Ground and can’t stop clicking it! Gorgeous colour too.

allfurcoatnoknickers · 14/12/2023 16:33

I'm so excited for the lipstick!

Also, reporting back on the hair mask from a few days back. I've tried it twice and it's one where you need to leave it on for the full 5 minutes or it doesn't work properly. First attempt was a bit meh, but I tried again yesterday and my hair looks fab today. Like I got an expensive blowdry.

kenyaswhiterefrigerator · 14/12/2023 16:46

I thought solid ground would be too dark for me ( more of a pinky/neutral girl) but it's actually very wearable. Also liked the packaging.

Housewife2010 · 14/12/2023 17:29

I got Commuter in my AC and Solid Ground from eBay. I've tried them today - one on each lip to test. The colour looks the same - just different consistency.

Love the lipstick feels so lovely and clicky. Colour is fine for an everyday colour.

Would have preferred a larger Paula's choice too, seems a bit stingy the mini bottle.

The hair mask was awful for my hair, smelled amazing but left it looking very greasy.

My two favourites have been the divine poets of Berlin perfume and the cream blusher.

I really want to buy myself a big bottle of the perfume. If anyone is interested in a swap or selling poets of Berlin I'd be very thankful x

Gnomegnomegnome · 14/12/2023 19:09

I wouldn’t have chosen this colour (commuter) lipstick but I like it.

imp2007 · 14/12/2023 23:02

I love todays - gorgeous packaging! Feels really luxurious I got Commuter. It's quite pink on me but I'll definitely wear it

BIossomtoes · 14/12/2023 23:26

I wouldn’t have chosen last year’s Surratt lipstick shade but it became my go to and I repurchased. I think this might be the same.

Yes, I loved last year's Surratt lipstick too. I ended up buying 2 spares from eBay.
