@doublecleansed certainly get the Liberty one, you deserve it.
If you have not ordered from them before they do a new user discount code but not sure if that works on the calendar.

BlueLimes · 18/10/2025 18:17

@doublecleansed definitely get it and I hope your treatment has gone well.

dc82 · 18/10/2025 18:41

@doublecleansed absolutely get it! You more than deserve it! ❤️‍🩹 Liberty is a stunner as well. Ive been super tempted too!

LoveLabradors · 18/10/2025 18:45

@doublecleansed you absolutely deserve a wonderful treat and you must get the Liberty AC!

Branster · 18/10/2025 19:19

@doublecleansed absolutely go ahead and order it. It is one of the loveliest ACs this year in the higher price range. You'll enjoy it!

In other news, I've cancelled my Cosmeterie AC after seeing details of the products. They either added this information after I ordered or I simply didn't see it before. I know it was cheap at £63.78 but far too many tiny samples even though I'd like to try some of them. A bit too much perfume minis as far as I can identify and I'm not interested in trying new perfume. At least 3 things I have zero interest in and actively avoid (olaplex and mario badescu). I think there was only 1 product I really wanted to try. Not worth it after all. So that's that. A feel it's a bit of a flop now. It looked better in previous years.

On the experimenting side, everyone is talking about this Bioeffect EFG serum. I remember selling a couple on vinted for very little just to pass them on. It is exactly the sort if bottle I would tip over or drop and loose £135 in seconds. And I definitely wouldn't be buying it regularly because it is so expensive. I see now they have a super serum version as well. Anyway, to make up for the disappointment with my Austrian adventure, I ordered a 15ml bottle of EFG serum from Vinted for £30. I figured the £60odd is like free money now so I might as well buy something small but useful. Let's see what turns up in the post. It really looks like a minuscule mouse size bottle of clear water. At least it's free after my serious girl math. I will compare it my Ordinary EFG serum which I am yet to try.

Biscuitburglar · 18/10/2025 19:47

@doublecleansed buy it! It’s a massive yes from me. Let us know when you’ve pressed the button and we can have a group cheer xx

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 18/10/2025 20:08

@doublecleansed If you can’t treat yourself after the year you’ve had, when can you? Buy it! 💐

Pinkballoon5 · 18/10/2025 20:10

It's gorgeous. And so many full size components. NB when browsing it offered me 5per cent discount if I signed up to emails.

Pinkballoon5 · 18/10/2025 20:14

There's a couple of Korean beauty edits at Boots. One was half price a couple of weeks ago, idk if it still is

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 18/10/2025 20:34

I bought this one. Haven’t started to use it yet but it has great reviews.

doublecleansed · 18/10/2025 20:49

Oh wow, so many enablers! Thank you all for your lovely words. Ok, if I’m still thinking about it tomorrow I’m getting it! No point holding out for a discount is there, as I don’t think Liberty ever slashes the price, does it? (I don’t want to sign up to the beauty drop again as it’s a three month minimum).

ApiratesaysYarrr · 18/10/2025 21:29

Anyone know about any discounts on the ASOS BAC? I was going to get my daughter in law the Sephora mid range one, but it has 2 pompom things in (a pink pompom that looks like a keyring/bag charm and a pompom hair clip) which she will never use. I'm looking to spend approx £100, but also not averse to saving money hence the request!

pinkchampagne1 · 18/10/2025 21:38

After a couple of glasses of wine I have just signed up to the Liberty beauty drop! 😳

dc82 · 19/10/2025 02:03

I know it’s late, but I’m awake and was just on TikTok and it offered me 30% off the OK BAC. It was specific to me and only valid for 30mins and said it was a special weekend promotion, but if you’re after this ac it’s maybe worth a scroll on there to see if you get it come up.

dc82 · 19/10/2025 03:07

Still awake 😆. It popped back up again with 30% off the OK one and a discount off the Stylist one. 👍

RainbowZebraWarrior · 19/10/2025 07:19

Things are definitely starting to hot up on Vinted now and there's so much to choose from on the BAC goodies front. I snaffled a Frankincense intense cream last night for £22 which I'm over the moon with as eveeyone else is listing for £60. It's always really tempting to add on other things, and my seller must have bought quite a few BACs as there were lots of the usual suspects. I really just wanted that cream though, so I resisted. Next and Fenwick are now definitely crossed off my list as that was my most coveted item from their calendars.

Had a look on tiktok @dc82 and a 20% off popped up. It was only valid for 16 minutes though and that pisses me off as I hate clocks counting down on me so I left it.

Sending gentle hugs to you @doublecleansed after your shit year and hope you enjoy indulging yourself in Liberty loveliness ❤️

@doublecleansed
Do it, do it , do it ................

MrsBnow12 · 19/10/2025 08:04

Can I ask what may be a silly question, where are you in TikTok when the discount offer pops up, is it in the shop part?

That's interesting, I sold that cream on ebay for £50.

Im tempted to stock pile some items if market forces mean the prices are dropping.

It’s a big yes from me too. You deserve a lovely treat after the year you have had. ♥️

Oh wow, that was a good find! I have just had a look on Vinted and a 15ml of that cream is listed for £13 do you did well to get the full size for £20! I tried some on my hand in Fenwick yesterday and it felt and smelt lovely. I also saw the calendar but they didn’t have the contents on display.

Linesman · 19/10/2025 09:20

I find Vinted impossible to navigate. All these irritating drop down ads obscuring the screen.

Thelifeofawife · 19/10/2025 09:24

@doublecleansed You should definitely go for it if you’re still tempted this morning, you deserve a treat and something special to look forward to 💐

keepincool · 19/10/2025 12:35

I'm in the enviable position of having 2 Liberty BAC's and not sure what to do? DSis asked for a list of AC's that I'd like and I listed about 5, not Liberty though as I'd already purchased it. She mentioned that she'd got me a "lovely one from London" and I spotted the distinctive Liberty drawstring bag as she showed me something else when I visited this week. It's definitely for me.

I thought of selling the one I have whole, but can't offer it on vinted as I've just got her into selling there and she might spot it and realise its me from my seller name.

Would you sell whole thing on Ebay or split it up and load items individually now before people start selling loads in December? If i put things on vinted as individual items i dont think she'll spot them.

I don't want to tell her I already have the Liberty one as she's really thrilled about the one she chose (that wasn't on the list I gave her...)
