Liberty Advent Calendar 2023 Opening Thread

Reveals from 7 am each morning please.
Not long to go now.....

I'm super happy with today's could be one of my favourites so far. Love this brand wouldn't have chosen rose but I like it and love the roller ball idea - fun and convenient for keeping in a small bag.

Thought this was a retro rollerball lip gloss at first. Wouldn't normally opt for rose but will give it a try.

I really like today's perfume balm. Like @imp2007 it could be one of my favourites. It's definitely going to be used frequently over the coming weeks.

I recognise this fragrance now. I’ve definitely tried it before.

I love today's. All three fragrances have been massive winners for me, very happy 😊

(Despite my initial misgivings about Poets of Berlin basically being an expensive version of impulse vanilla kisses, I love this once it's dried down and calmed down with the vanilla)

I love the scent! I much prefer this to the other two perfumes although I must stick to my no buying more perfume policy!

I own this in EDP so pleased to have another version. Haven't tried it yet though, as I'm always a bit wary of rollerballs oxidising or worse once opened. Can anyone compare the two?

How long should the scent last on the skin with the rollerball?

@clowniform the Le Labo perfume does say on the side that it is guaranteed to last 12 months?

I’m not a fan or rose fragrances so tried to put on vinted but the post was deleted as apparently they think used?? They seem to have a very odd algorithm- there are other bottles on there which do look like were tried a couple of times, whereas mine was clearly full. Anyway - irritating.

Try EBay. It should go quickly if you’re realistic, there are some very optimistic prices on there.

@BIossomtoes yes I could do - I just find vinted easier but it’s the 3rd thing I’ve had deleted for non valid reason.

Last year there was much consternation about candles in the calendar which I loved personally. This year, I think there might be consternation about the amount of hair oil….. !

This is a DOD for me. Not sure how I should use hair oil.

Two hair oils is too much. Why not have a conditioner instead? This isn’t suitable for my hair and will be given to my daughter.

Disappointed with today's. Was mildly disappointed with the other hair oil but at least that one didn't have silicones in (or at least, I didn't spot any). Meh.

I’ve got long thick wavy hair, so I like a bit of hair oil. However, we got a bottle in the beauty box, if you get that, the same bottle in the calendar and now a tiny bottle so it’s overload. I love a candle tbh 😂

Another hair oil! No good for me. The hair conditioner mask thing was also no good for my fine (but lots of it) hair, I had to rewash it as it made it so greasy.

I use hair oil more than I use hair masks so this is fine for me.

Also disappointed with today’s. Maybe beauty product fatigue.

Meh

Here endeth my beauty advent Ted Talk.

Advent calendar fatigue definitely sets in towards the end. It’s a very privileged problem to have!

Absolutely true... but still TWO hair oils? what wrong with a nice face wash or some posh foot cream?

Absolutely- we are paying for a high end calendar - we shouldn’t feel grateful to have a good mix of products.

Oooh. Posh foot cream. Now there’s something my hooves would love!
