It is one sleep away! We’ve all been very patient, since Liberty London revealed their advent calendar in June this year.

Reveals from 7am GMT each morning please. This is to harmonise discussion/shift work/different time zones.

Food banks take opened and used perfume?

Ignore me! It’s early! I missed the bit about having been opened and used.

MiaN · 02/12/2024 07:12

It's easy to sell unwanted perfume too. Don't throw it! There was a talk for swap discussion here that's another option

GreatFinch · 02/12/2024 07:12

That's a winner for me this morning, smells wonderful.

Isabelle70 · 02/12/2024 07:14

Today's is good for me and says reduces redness so that's a winner for my rosacea skin!

mum2three48 · 02/12/2024 07:18

Very happy with today's. I love Dr sebagh products

ProjectsGalore · 02/12/2024 07:29

After waiting all this time to open mine I forgot to do it yesterday! Double bubble for me today!

allmybooksarefromthelibrary · 02/12/2024 08:12

Very pleased with this morning's (once I worked out what it was - my aging eyes did not cope well with small white print on pale pink background!)

Chickydoo · 02/12/2024 08:13

Love today’s serum. Perfect for me!
After saying I didn't like yesterday's perfume. I had a good old squirt yesterday afternoon and actually it softened and within an hour it was really rather nice.

mynameiscalypso · 02/12/2024 08:13

I opened today's after I'd already got ready for the day otherwise I'd have tried this already. Looking forward to using it as I also like the brand very much.

My eyes are the same.

What am I doing with this? 😂

Peridot1 · 02/12/2024 08:17

Like today’s a lot. I love skincare. Although I do have a lot of it in my stash! But I love a nice serum.

Ooh is anyone going to say what it is? I'm a lurker and would like to know!

Chickydoo · 02/12/2024 08:31

The Serum is £130 for the 30 ml size which is the one we have! I will use it very carefully!

nearly61 · 02/12/2024 08:51

@Ponks it is Dr Sebagh Rose de Vie serum -absolutely gorgeous and one of the reasons I really really wanted this calendar! I love the brand and have wanted to try this for ages. Very happy it was an early drawer too.

LadyLapsang · 02/12/2024 08:55

Extremely happy with the Dr Sebagh Rose de Vie serum. I’ve not used this one before but love his serum repair and have used the Rose de Vie mask in the past. I have two serums on the go at the moment - Augustinus Bader (just looked up the price - £280 for 30mls !!!!) which is OK although a bit lightweight for me, and Emma Lewisham Skin Reset Face Serum (£85) which I find really effective. I will use the Rose de Vie when they run out.

AnnieFrancais · 02/12/2024 08:56

I LOVE todays, it smells divine and sounds perfect for my skin! Yesterdays is in DD stocking ;)

spoeke · 02/12/2024 09:19

Joining this thread as my husband miraculously actually acted on one of my hints (or targeted advertising we’ve been getting bombarded with) without me having to specifically ask for it and surprised me with the calendar yesterday. I LOVED yesterday’s perfume after some initial hesitation because I hadn’t tried any LBTY perfumes before and am quite picky with scents. Today’s is such a winner as well, I didn’t put on any skincare after my P50 toner this morning in the hope that there might be something for my face in the calendar… yay, it’s divine!

Only problem I see so far… how the f* am I ever going to want a chocolate calendar ever again? 🤣

TriciaMcMillan · 02/12/2024 09:20

Interesting! Dr S always seems like a luxe treat. I'm not a massive fan of rose scented products but it's not overpowering and a little goes a long way! I've used it as part of today's routine and skin feels super nourished, if a tad oily. Is this more for nighttime?

Growlybear83 · 02/12/2024 09:26

I'm very pleased with this morning's drawer - I'm not usually a lover of Rose products either but I do like this one.

LilyJessie · 02/12/2024 09:40

We couldn't justify the calender this year (due our first baby in three weeks) but how sad is it that I'm loving reading all the things you are getting already!!
Such a treat!!! X

Buster27 · 02/12/2024 09:47

Also really pleased with today's - although I have quite a few other serums stashed I should use first. If this thread raves about this one enough it will probably skip to front of the queue 😁

Waffles21 · 02/12/2024 09:58

Ooh I’ve not opened mine yet but v excited, I LOVE rose scented things and need a new serum, hat a great first 2 days!

Not at all sad. I'm lurking here too as I had wanted this one but the brexit tax was just too much (€360) so I'm lurking here.

It looks fab so far.

A newborn baby is just about the only thing that trumps the Liberty Advent Calendar! Xmas Smile
