Liberty Advent Calendar 2023 Opening Thread

[Housewife2010]

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

I love 2 high-end hair oils! My course thick hair loves it, so I am extremely grateful 🙂

There always seems to be a duplication of products last year there were 3 exfoliating products. I didn’t mind 2 candles but there is only so much exfoliation you can do

I don't know if I'm just spoilt after having this calendar for several years now, but I'm not impressed at all with it. So many items have either been in the liberty beauty drop box or a GWP. I think I may be 'Liberty'd' out!

I’m still using last year’s Exfolikate intermittently. It freaks me out looking like the Incredible Hulk.

I’m not excited by today’s hair oil but it’s the first drawer that has been a bit of a disappointment.

Yes I’ve still got some of it left. It’s quite strong so I don’t use it that regularly

@BIossomtoes and @Hadenough2022 I've still got an unopened exfolikate from last year. Scared to use it 🙈🙈

I loved exfolikate. I always feel like I’ve had a proper scrub.

@Yeknom Kate Sommerville is one of my fave brands. Try it, its great

Today's not a good one for me - I think the oils would just make my fine hair look greasy. Would have liked a nice texturising product I loved the tube we got last year - Larry King social life for your hair

Zelens mask today. I’ve tried one of their facial oils (from a Beauty Drop box) and it was good, so hopefully this is too.

I can understand being sick of the products if you get the Beauty Drop but I only get the calendar so I’m new to a lot of the products. I’ve had the calendar every year since it came out and I still find it a treat.
I’m looking forward to trying today’s mask - the ingredients sound good.

Loving today’s offering. Zelens is one of my go-to brands. They make really great products.

This looks a super new product to try.

I love a face mask. I usually use Sisley but love zelens as a brand.

Loving reading all your comments and very grateful to the advice from @Netaporter on the skin products: I used last years exfoliators throughout the year so Im pleased to have another one: I still have both candles from last year so they are going into stockings this year! Wasn't this AC marketed as having mostly full size products? Its a very priviledged problem to have but seems that mostly night products and hair products and most being sample sizes isn't as good as it should be: Buying from France they charge way more than the exchange rate too: any recommendations for other good AC for next year?
@Netaporter can we use any of these products around our mouth? I usually avoid eye area but tend to whop everything around my mouth (until you said not to to someone!), thanks :)

@m0mma yes, I’d put this around my mouth but I have very tolerant skin. Retinols you should be careful with tho.

I'm very happy with this AC. I haven't had Liberty for a few years. The box is exquisite and this AC had the most products that I really wanted - Byredo, Luna, Votary etc. There are very few items I wouldn't use & they will/have already been Ebayed. I checked the contents of all the ACs before ordering it. They are so expensive and I wanted items I'd be excited about rather than more clutter.

Lovely- I like a face mask, even if I often forget to put one when I’ve intended too. I will try harder!

I think if you get the beauty box and see an item repeated in the calendar, it’s a bit disappointing because of the lack of thought rather than the product itself.

Between the two, I rarely buy beauty products during the year- so that’s very good. It’s a great way of discovering brands and new products.

Anyone hoping for something in particular to come? I’ve not seen the product list so no spoilers please!

@Fatlegs46 I would like a bubble bath or bath salts.

I'm hoping for a nice candle, although preferably not the weird tomato one from last year!

I'm really happy overall it's such a lovely treat each morning and the products keep me going all year! I normally spend ages comparing the calendars but due to beauty drop credit this year didn't and I'm really loving it being more of a surprise. I'd lovely a really lovely daytime moisturiser or oil or possibly a body oil. My guess is candle on Christmas Day looking at the size of the drawer! Sad we are coming to the end can't believe it's just a few days left now.

I loved that tomato candle! Yes, hoping for a nice one tho.

Happy with today's, and with the calendar as a whole despite all the hair duds. My first beauty AC was Liberty and I've returned to it after a few years dallying with other brands, so maybe that's why it all feels fresh, even though I get the beauty drop boxes. Lots of great skincare especially.

Would like a nice preposterously-priced bath thing around this time, or a candle as PP wrote.

@imp2007 going by the last couple of big drawers with small products it could be anything 😂
