Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar 2025 Opening Thread

[IlovePond]

Hi, if you have the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar or are just interested in what’s inside, then please feel free to join in by posting your thoughts on each day’s contents.

If you have swapped out any doors, you can either skip a day here or just tell us what you have swapped in and why!

As is ‘usual’ on these threads, please try to avoid revealing each day’s contents before 7am UK time.

My partner is sat here open mouthed at the value of today’s. I’d best not fall in love with it. £26.40 based on current per ml price of the full size!

I love today’s perfume, it is a bit masculine, perfect size to pop in my handbag though.

Every day I do this!
I'm smothered in 1875 already so can't try this one until later! Very cute bottle though 🙂

I’ve just tried today’s perfume ‘The Sixth’ by Vyrao. I’m not sure what I think about it yet! I’ll see how it settles but it’s always great to try new perfumes. Can anyone see how many ml it is? I can’t see anything on the box

Hi everyone

Isn’t it interesting how it smells so different on all of us and how our noses like different scents! I tried all the perfumes when I got the calendar and replaced those I didn’t like ( I know I’m super fussy with smells!) so I have something from the Space NK calendar, I’d better not say what it is as don’t think it’s appeared in that yet!

Wow sets That brings the total value to £153. I like it. It’s quite light and green on me. I’d probably save this for warmer months.

10ml it’s printed on the vial in v small writing

The Liberty page about the calendar products says it’s 10ml.

I’ve got some on and I really like it!

Although when I first saw the green box and read what it says on it (‘for mindfulness and intuition’) I thought it was going to be an aromatherapy rollerball thing!

I also tried all the perfumes when my calendar arrived except one that was wrapped in cellophane.

I remember thinking this one was awful but today I quite like it! Maybe it just clashed too much with the others.
This is a scent I could see myself layering with something like Bibbi 's Fruit Captain from the recent scent kit as it would tone down the Bibbi's sweetness, I think.

A bit disappointed, this is definitely not for me - but will smell lovely on my DH so he gets another one! Packaging is lovely though.

Good to hear no reaction from sensitive skin on the serum - looking forward to trying. Perfumes are so subjective - at first spray I wasn't sure but it's settled better now and quite like it so will try a few more times to be sure. How many days do you give perfume a chance before ditching... this one is not described as unisex ?

Well isn't it funny how differently we all react to perfumes -such an individual physical skin reaction and also personal taste. Anyhow I'm rattling on because I thought I'd be smart today and read what you all think first before trying it as it's a brand I've not found anything I enjoy from before. And would you believe it, I so nearly just gave it to my DH but then I cracked and sprayed this and LOVE it!! It has a fresh sweetness, grassy yes but settles on me to one I know I'm going to love in early summer. Now off to haunt Vinted...😆

I’m looking forward to trying the serum too, have a bout of perioral dermatitis at the mo and on 2nd month of antibiotics so not able to use anything atm 🙄. My skin is awful!
I had it on for a day and then ditched! I’m quite decisive about perfumes though!!

This is such an interesting perfume for me, I love the bottle! Did anyone read the notes? I haven’t yet but interested to see what I’m smelling, at first spray I loved the freshness then almost immediately it went sort-of sour and now it’s settled I really love the remaining scent, what is it?! This is a great one!

It's £38 for 10ml on space nk!

@HumBumBum I do love the waffle important information regarding their perfumes these companies put out- according to the website it is likely to be the sacred herbs we are enjoying. Personally I just like the scent but magical properties...well I do find scent uplifting so I'll just go with the flow on this! These are the notes:
Top Notes: Juniper berry oil LMR, angelica root oil, gentian absolute LMR, wormwood oil
Heart Notes: Fennel oil, apple, pink peppercorn oil LMR, cypress oil LMR
Base Notes: Oakwood absolute LMR, oakmoss absolute LMR, patchouli oil LMR, fir balsam absolute, cedarwood oil

And I've successfully nabbed another now so fingers crossed I don't hate it in an hour 😂

Loved yesterday's serum, but I'll wait to try once I've used up my current Vitamin C!

Also pleased with today's perfume, although I do think they could have had it in Window 6!

It sounds like today is the day that I finally turn into a majestic fairy.

I tried the cleanser this morning and quite liked it, but not enough to tempt me to replace my regular one. No reaction from either that or the serum though, and I do really like the serum so far.

Todays perfume is definitely not for me though, that one is heading for DD, I think.

Not tried the perfume yet, but used the serum last night - I’m in love skin feels amazing 😍 shouldn’t have worried about using it!

Top note of the scent smells really strongly of green tea to me. It has settled slightly but I might add it to a stocking. I don’t hate it, or even dislike it, but it’s not made my heart sing! I don’t think I’ll be reaching for it over other ones I have…

Not a dud, more of an ‘ok, tried that, not for me’.

I like the perfume, but then I do prefer hippy-ish scents. Big fan of plant oils and a bit of patchouli. I’m also relieved there are no synthetic molecules in this one, because they do horrible things in combo with my skin chemistry - the Zepherine is lovely as a room scent (on the old DS&Durga car freshener from a beauty drop a while back), but the moment I spray it on me it’s overwhelmingly rank.

I get the scent of green tea too - it reminds me of a green tea perfume I have!

The one we had before reminds me of Angel - it must be the Patchouli.

I’ve been using the cleanser and it seems good, but I wouldn’t repurchase. Only because I realised in my thirties that more expensive cleansers didn’t make any difference to my skin - unlike serums and moisturisers.

I like today’s oerfume although it doesn’t seem very strong.
