Looking forward to trying today’s conditioner after seeing it in Liberty.

@Fatlegs46 I don’t think that you were offensive. We are all pretty privileged to have this calendar.

listsandbudgets · 08/12/2023 08:02

sorry cross post

@Fatlegs46 A lot if people here have saved all year for this AC. Please don't diminish our joy by calling things rubbish

As for todays I'm tempted to use it at the weekend and lie back with a face mask at the same time. Ive burnt my foot so can't walk about much or out proper shoes ( going g o work in my slippers!) so may as well lie about for a while

I didn’t say the product was rubbish. I said it was rubbish because I had so many. Apologies for any unintentional offence. I hope you enjoy your calendar.

listsandbudgets · 08/12/2023 08:24

@Fatlegs46 Fair enough misinterpreted you

Fatlegs46 · 08/12/2023 08:28

I hope your foot gets better soon, and yes a hair conditioner and a face mask sounds lovely!

Moving on now 🙂Today’s is a brand isn’t one I’ve used before- so I’m looking forward to trying it. Hair mask is always useful.

PomsRun · 08/12/2023 08:30

@Fatlegs46 i said something about the cost of the m and s calendar being reasonable and people were so angry with me …

we can all afford different things and I don’t think we need to apologise for that.

I seem to accrued loads of rollerballs too - I’ll try and off load.

Hadenough2022 · 08/12/2023 09:00

Hair mask an ok offering it will get used. Not the most exciting but I’ve been happy with the serums so far.
I cancelled my beauty drop subscription I may have to reconsider as this calendar seems better than I thought it was going to be.

QueefofSheena · 08/12/2023 09:16

I seem to have stockpiled hair masks and treatments so I've been making an attempt to use them more often. I'll add this to the pile. There is a drawer I'm very excited about but it hasn't happened yet, maybe tomorrow

clowniform · 08/12/2023 09:23

I have never flown BA business class or acquired one of those AA rollerballs before and still had a wee sulk yesterday 😁really not my kind of product. Also a bit dubious about today's mask for my very fine hair but have a friend with textured hair visiting this weekend so will see if she fancies it.

I’m excited about a fragrance and if anyone on this thread isn’t keen, I’ll have them all 😄

For those of you who’ve had Liberty calendars over the years, is there often a bumper day with lots of products? I know Cult Beauty have a bonanza the Saturday before Christmas, I think there were five products in one drawer, it was amazing!

imp2007 · 08/12/2023 09:38

I'm not sure about today's I've got very fine hair but think I'll try just using it on the ends and leaving it on for five mins in the shower.

Bimblesalong · 08/12/2023 09:52

Well the rollerball was just what I needed yesterday as I had major dental work!

today’s looks just what I want, not used this range before. My hair feels in need of a treat. I try to have an indulgent bathroom session at least once a week, a bit of a home spa with music and naice candles, so this will be just right.

QueefofSheena · 08/12/2023 10:03

@Jellycats4life I think we may be excited about the same thing 😊

Buster27 · 08/12/2023 10:07

I quite like the idea of the rollerball, but not sure I'll actually use it. Will make an effort to.

Today's looks good but I have a few similar open products already I need to use up first (story of my life 🤣)

LadyHester · 08/12/2023 10:47

Well disappointed with today’s as I have no hair. I suppose they couldn’t have been expected to know.

Orcadianrythyms · 08/12/2023 11:03

I didn’t get this today - I won’t say what I got in case it’s a drawer mix up.
Calendar has been a disaster for me this year. Drawer 3 was empty but the oil was in drawer below, a further check by my husband found another two empty drawers. So three empty drawers and hopefully just a mix up today. Liberty customer service have been good and said they will send out the missing drawer items but it’s ruined the treat. Probably won’t get this again.
I’ll get the next beauty drop and then stop it, I started it to ease the pain of buying Venn moisturiser which a previous calendar had got me hooked but Liberty don’t stock Venn anymore.

Show quote history

I think this is my 6th - I don’t remember any bumper drawers. I did think serum/ bracelet day was fabulous- wonder why they didn’t do on Christmas Day unless we’re all getting a £500 voucher !

Yeknom · 08/12/2023 11:50

@Fatlegs46 no offence caused to me, and I'm happy to nominate myself to be your mate on companion voucher flights 😁

PomsRun · 08/12/2023 13:19

@Yeknom i need a luxury overseas trip to get over the my m and s privilege, so I think I’ll be first in line 🫣

Yeknom · 08/12/2023 13:21

QUEUE PUSHER 😆😆 @PomsRun

PomsRun · 08/12/2023 14:37

@Yeknom I’ll save the goody bag for you.

Gnomegnomegnome · 08/12/2023 16:36

@Jellycats4life no, maximum has been two in a drawer.

Gnomegnomegnome · 08/12/2023 17:21

I hope that we get a nice Bath product, salts or bubbles or something. I’ve not purchased any just in case!

allfurcoatnoknickers · 08/12/2023 20:57

I'm a bit dubious about the hair mask, but I'm about to hop in the shower and try it out! Will report back. I have fine hair, but lots of it.

countdowntonap · 09/12/2023 08:42

I like this morning’s. Looks to be a full size product worth £20ish. I’ll be using it straight away and not putting back in the drawer to open again after Christmas.
