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.

I purchased more of the lipstick, I’ve been wearing it daily!

This was another no for me so I sold it when the calendar arrived and replaced it with a le Labo from another perfume bought on Vinted. The only perfume I’ve liked so far was day 1, mane I just don’t have sophisticated taste!

This is my least favourite perfume so far, but I still like it.

Personally, I think 4 scents in such rapid succession is getting a bit much now.. I love the anticipation of opening but after day 11, the shine is rubbing off this year’s calendar…I’ve had 4 perfumes I’m unlikely to wear and would rather have had more skincare. I’d also have loved a scented candle by now 😭 Or perhaps I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😂

I love today’s perfume. I bought the last fragrance edit too but am happy to have another bottle of this. I’m delighted with the number of perfumes so far - it’s the main reason I went for the Liberty calendar this year.

No you didn’t @Netaporter, I feel exactly the same. I don’t think I’ll be buying the calendar again.

I look at it as an opportunity to properly sample expensive things I probably wouldn’t buy at full price……. And then fall in love and hunt on Vinted to get more
Love todays, have had a few of their scents before and always love them!

I love the perfume today, happy to swap for either of the first two if anybody would like to.

It’s not one for me - I don’t hate it, but it’s just not me.

I’ll see how it develops over the day but I suspect I’ll pass it on. Or swap it!

Oooh, I like this one. Seems quite old-fashioned, in a nice way - I can imagine my mother wearing this in the ‘80s

Yes definitely an 80's glamour note to this perfume. It reminds me of Dior Poison or something of that ilk. Heady & strong. I was about to try it but I have an opticians appointment this morning & am always mindful of using strong scents when in close proximity to clinicians!

I think I prefer the other 3 perfumes we had but certainly like it. I think given how heavy it is with perfumes I won't buy Liberty AC again next year. I do love it do far but it's v unlikely I would use up all the perfumes by then. But who knows what 2026 brings!

Very considerate of you. I’m holed up recovering from flu, so nobody cares if I smell like linda evangelista on her way to the MTV Awards

I bought this AC as I knew if was perfume heavy and that’s what I wanted, I think it makes sense to look at the contents when deciding what one to buy. Then if you’re like me you completely forget every drawer by the time December rolls round!

@EdinaMonsoonthat’s funny as I don’t find today’s strong at all but quite light. And nothing like Poison which I remember and hated!! Funny how we all smell things so differently!

This perfume is growing on me. At first it’s quite fruity and smells like something my 14 year old daughter would wear so I thought I might give it to her. But after it’s dried down a bit, that initial fruitiness has calmed and I’m really enjoying it. I think I might keep it! I also had another lovely one by Ex Nihilo in a scent kit in the summer. I don’t think I would have tired their perfumes otherwise.

I absolutely love this perfume and actually it was my only spoiler from the AC as I got it in the scent kit as well and was searching for it and spoilered myself accidentally - luckily I was really pleased to be getting another bottle!

I love this fragrance as well. Really rich and lasting on me (so far anyway!)

The eye mask chat re yesterday's made me try one I got in my home-made calendar - a Murad one WOW I put it on in the bath and it really made a difference :) my eyes looked so much smoother underneath. Shame all I was doing later was picking DS1 up from work but at least I looked too young to have a 26yo son haha

Yes @Ilikeyoursleeves exactly this for me too. £275 is a lot for me so I made sure it was the one I wanted.

ETA But yes then I forget everything lol

I like this! Also might be in the minority but I like that the calendar is perfume heavy - makes it feel different from all the other calendars on the market and more ‘Liberty’ somehow to me. Plus I’ll smell great for all of 2026 now 😁

I love this one ❤️ my days the full price though 😱

I’m also enjoying the perfumes, it’s not something I would buy for myself at all. I’ve sold 2 of them on vinted but it’s still fun to try them out, reminds me of being a teenager in boots 😂

definitely not selling today’s it’s my favourite so far, off to scout vinted for another…

BTW is everyone’s bottle like mine? It looks like it’s only 3/4 full!

I also sold today's perfume when I first bought the calendar. I'm another who bought this calendar (and also the Liberty men's) because of the high perfume content.

I checked the contents before buying too and chose Liberty based on the large number of perfumes, Sisley toner and one other product. That product and the Sisley toner are the only non-perfume items I can remember so its still a lovely surprise every day!

I tried every perfume except one that was cellophane wrapped. Forgot how they all smelt except that I didnt like the Vyrao one (which I now do like) so that's been a good surprise too. The cellophane wrapped perfume was in another of my advent/kits and I'm really proud of not opening it yet so really looking forward to that in this advent when it comes!

I have the EXCITES!

It looks like my regular moisturiser ran out this morning! I can go the MZ without breaking step!!

I’m genuinely thrilled!

I absolutely hated this perfume to the point of scrubbing my wrists. Stale pee on me. Funny how things smell so different on people.
