They may have been clearing the warehouse with the April bag. I did pick it up but agree, hoping for better things in Sept. The availability of what I like online is an issue though. When the GWP was released, no Poets of Berlin, now its in and no GWP! As I am only in London once a month it makes it a challenge! I have cancelled beauty drop, so the plan is to pick up the kits when they are top drawer (wishing for more perfume kits) and the GWP twice a year with some perfume purchases. Feels like that could work better.

I’m doing the same as you @Primrosespaw Cancelled now and will keep an eye out for what I need / would like to try rather than “what can I spend it on if it’s actually in stock”.

BakeOffRewatch · 06/05/2024 23:49

I don’t think there will be a May one after the April one @Toffeebananachocolate , I had a look through posts on Liberty on Beauty Advent Calendar website and it’s been either April or May.

I popped in last week and The Weekender Kit isn’t for me, it’s huge and heavy though, great value for money. I love receiving moisturisers and colour make up, like eye shadows and nail polish, in a kit. I probably would use everything in the kit, but would prefer to spend the money on other specific items. I am disappointed to have missed out on the Go With The Flow kit, it’s completely sold out even in store. I’ll be better prepared for the September GWP, isn’t it usually a really good one, I remember a couple of years ago one called Director’s Cut. Here it is 2021 https://beautyadventcalendar.net/liberty-london-the-directors-cut-beauty-kit/ Another good one was Beauty Hall of Fame in Jan 2023.

I tried 2 of the scents, Zephirine smelled really chemically at first but I loved it by the time I got home, and it’s still lingering after I bathed. Adelphi Sun smells like a fresh spring garden and I liked it when I sprayed it, but could barely smell it once I got home. I didn’t spray Wild Rosalinda on my skin, I smelled it on the card, it is very sweet.

I think it is very hard with all these things to judge them online! Especially with how much they cost.

Just in case anyone is interested thought I’d pop back and tell you I actually managed to visit the Granado shop in Rio today.
As expected it smelt wonderful, and the prices were better than I expected. The Bossa soap was just over the equivalent of £2 a bar so as you can imagine my luggage home will be a few kilos heavier than when I arrived! The only disappointment was that the staff were probably the rudest and most unhelpful of any sales assistants we have encountered during our 3 weeks in South America

@Mynx wow! That looks amazing! Lucky you!

Summerdew · 08/05/2024 06:43

There’s a Granado shop either opening or just opened in Covent Garden for anyone interested, although I can’t imagine the soaps will be the £2 bargain you found!
edited as put Bossa shop rather than Granado - can tell which I like!

Jordiib · 08/05/2024 10:12

Looks like there is an in store exclusive GWP for over £250 spend happening this evening!

Bottom of the ts and cs here

@Mynx I'm very jealous I've loved both the products we've had by Granado in our boxes.

Hope customs believe all this soap is for your personal use Grin

SoloCat · 09/05/2024 15:11

So frustrating…Liberty is not allowing me to sign in, or even change my password. I’ve tried on several devices. I have a certain amount of credit I can’t use in the sale due to these issues.
I’m pretty much done with their incompetence now.

SoloCat · 09/05/2024 15:29

Well, after 15 attempts I’m finally in! What a farce!

Sunnydaysarehereonceagain · 10/05/2024 11:59

Returning after a long absence with a new username 😊. I’ve been quietly destashing, though I did get the most recent Liberty Kit - so now I’m on the road to financial ruin and stuffed drawers again 🤣. Agree @Nospecialcharactersplease , the current Fenwick GWP is great and the website works well (please note Liberty)…… you can probably tell that I might just have placed an order with Fenwick!

Was what you wanted to buy still in stock?

brogueish · 10/05/2024 14:05

Was what you wanted to buy still in stock?

Yes, thankfully. There was only one and I was having a meltdown. It was some bedding…not as exciting as beauty, but still beautiful..and half price!

Loving the Granado shop….especially the prices!

SoloCat · 10/05/2024 14:57

What a great GWP from Fenwick…looks super, apart from the nars blush. 😳 Lovely bag too!

Nospecialcharactersplease · 10/05/2024 15:24

@SoloCat yes, it’s like they never got the memo that GPWs are full of recycled tat these days. Shhh, let’s not tell them 🤣

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 10/05/2024 15:28

Oooh that GWP is a beauty!

I've STILL not spent my credit as like many I'm waiting for a decent GWP as I want to make sure I'm buying stuff I know I'll use and I've waited this long so I want a nice bonus!

I have been squirrelling away the £20 since cancelling for the purpose of guilt free beauty treat shipping later in the year and if that one is typical for Fenwicks I'll keep a beady eye out towards end of the year, I'd be over the moon with that one!

Oh! I need a trip to London!

AprilLady · 10/05/2024 17:29

Agree the Fenwick GWP is the best we’ve had for a while. A nice mix of products, a couple of full sizes, and reasonable travel sizes of two interesting perfumes.

In contrast, I was really disappointed in the current Harrods GWP. No perfume (unlike in previous years) and mostly very small sizes of very overpriced skincare.

Sunnydaysarehereonceagain · 10/05/2024 17:35

Forgot to mention that my Fenwick order also qualified for four samples in addition to the GWP . I chose 1.5ml each of 4 of the new Charlotte Tilbury fragrances, which I’m interested to try. I don’t work for Fenwick, honestly, but wish that Liberty would wake up and see how others are getting it right when they are getting pretty much everything wrong right now 😢

BlueLimeRun · 10/05/2024 18:59

I placed a big Liberty order last week, no problems with stock or using vouchers

I thought the new kit was very good (still in stock).

RedSwans · 10/05/2024 19:28

I’ve been waiting for a good Liberty GWP to buy my favourite Byredo perfume and then gave up and got it from Harrods because of the GWP. The delivery was messed up by DPD and I was about to reorder from Harrods when I saw the Fenwick GWP is even better and just ordered from there today! Excited for the two perfumes in the GWP. Nars blush I can do without! The choice of four samples at checkout was the cherry on top. I went for two of the CT perfumes and the Rodial SPF and vitamin C.

Still have Liberty credit so fingers crossed for the September GWP.

RJnomore1 · 12/05/2024 16:41

Damn you all, I’ve just succumbed to that fenwick GWP.
