Today’s news is four Christmas kits from Liberty, early access to Beauty Drop subscribers. £385 for all of them, with 10% BD discount that’s £346.50 so a bit more than the AC. It’s not in store until the 27th.

£100 The Glam Kit https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/the-glam-beauty-kit-000858367.html
£85 The Man Kit https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/the-mens-beauty-kit-000858369.html
£115 The Scent Kit https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/the-scent-beauty-kit-000858370.html

Yay!! Thank you for the new thread @BakeOffRewatch Thread 8 🤣 we're all a bit obsessed 🤣

OvaHere · 23/10/2025 09:11

Thanks @BakeOffRewatch

I bought the Glam Kit. It seems more rare that they do a make up kit and I've wanted to try Suqqu shadows for a while.

Not buying any others. Scent kit doesn't appeal enough as I didn't like the 1875 from the BD and already have Valaya.

That's the one I'm trying to buy but it's not accepting my voucher number for my BD credit. Oh well, looks like it's not meant to be 🤷🏻‍♀️

That glam kit looks great

pinkchampagne1 · 23/10/2025 09:33

Thanks for new thread. 😊

Going back to the Fenwick calendar, it is better this year. It has the full size Thameen which is worth £200 alone (I don’t need that though as I also have the Harrods calendar), the full sized Neals Yard age defy cream, a full size Charlotte Tilbury collagen face oil, Charlotte Tilbury lip oil and quite a few perfumes.

I have most of the bits that would tempt me so it wasn’t on my radar either, but I can’t believe be so easily swayed by a good gwp! Maybe it is for the best that it is just a naff empty bag! 😆

pinkchampagne1 · 23/10/2025 09:38

Sorry, my last message makes no sense. I was going to say one thing, got caught in a conversation with my DS and typed out another sentence! I think you get the gist of what I was saying though

2025istheyeari · 23/10/2025 09:40

I’ve bought the glam kit too, have had my eye on the eyeshadow palette for a while and other than the lip pencil I’ll use all of it. That’s me done now!

BakeOffRewatch · 23/10/2025 09:46

Drink every time someone says they’re “done now” 🤣.

I haven’t really started and am looking forward to November and December deals. I think the best stuff comes out in December.

I have gone for the scent edit as I liked the new Liberty perfume although managed to pick one up off Vinted from the last edit.
This is me done unless the SNK crackers are amazing 😀

We'd all be smashed as well as broke 🥂🍾🤣

Have you tried the Thameen? I quite like it but I've not sprayed it on myself yet. I don't know if I'd want another bottle. It's a shame it's the same one 😔 I definitely don't need anymore face oil and I'm not a fan of neals yard, so it probably would have to be a really good deal to sway me. Phew!

I have tried the Thameen and I like it, but so does my DH and I think he has high hopes it is coming his way! 😐

I didn’t need any more face oil either but when I saw it listed on Vinted for £12 (it is over £60 to buy usually) I couldn’t resist the bargain! 😏

Fenwick was always on my radar, but after hearing that it's been reduced in the past, I shall sit on my hands.

Of course, if the Emperors New Gift Bag turns out to he filled with goodies, then that may push me over the edge!

Smashed and broke definitely covers it @JoRaRaRa

Thanks for your sterling work with the threads @BakeOffRewatch

Ooh, a very soggy JL box has just been delivered! That’ll be my hero box DH has ordered me for Christmas 😁

You could have a his and hers bottle 😁

I did the same with the La mer renewal oil from the HN calendar. Saw it for a bargain price on vinted and grabbed it 😁 I think I have enough face oil now to last me until 2030 🤣 I don't even use it that much 😱

pinkchampagne1 · 23/10/2025 10:03

I think Fenwick was reduced the last couple of years around BF but only by about 20% and last year wasn’t very good so was never going to sell out full price. They have upped their game this year and gone back to a 25 day advent, but I don’t think it will sell out quickly as there is lots of competition…unless that free bag is suddenly filled with goodies!

Ha, don’t tempt me! 😂

I don’t use face oil that much either and have the AB one coming in my Harrods calendar so really didn’t need another, but it was a bargain! 😆

I'm still using the elemis one from last year's harrods ac, and I have a AB one in the bathroom cupboard opened already 🙈 but I'm weak and a bargains a bargain 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Thanks for the new thread @BakeOffRewatch

I’m weighing up whether to get the Liberty Glam edit and trying hard not to buy the scent one 😬 I really don’t need any more perfume but there’s a few I’d like to try.

pinkchampagne1 · 23/10/2025 10:20

Someone is selling the Liberty calendar (minus the bag) on Vinted for £220

Caggie09 · 23/10/2025 10:23
