I think I like the Beauty Box for the Breakfast at Tiffany like thrills. I’m probably not their target customer, as I don’t have a huge disposable income and I like the Inkey List and don’t wear much makeup. For me the thrill of receiving a beautifully packaged box, with little treats inside, that I’d never buy myself, is my big luxury.
I loved it when it was free, cancelled when it went to £25 and rejoined on a special offer of £20 for 3 months. Now I’m paying full price again I think it still hits the sweet spot for me.
I love love to go to Liberty and potter around-I save my vouchers for my Blink sessions-it’s the most seductive and secret Blink Studio there is. although this Christmas I bought a ridiculous Topshop coat there which is just so much fun, and felt free.
I am getting my teen to find her signature perfume, and all the little bottles have been ideal for that. All the Liberty slightly masculine scents work for her.
I know it’s a bit cheeky that Liberty are giving us products that they’ve got for free, but I sort of don’t mind. I couldn’t bear the thought of Liberty going under. I used to love shopping there in my twenties when I did have cash to splash. I lived the bridge but to the lingerie section and was devastated when that closed.
