Sorry b- beauty!! I didn’t get a luna in last years Liberty, wonder if it was the year before or a beauty drop?

Eeeek youre right @2025istheyeari it was the year before! It was Good Genes last year (used every drop!)

narniabusiness · 17/12/2025 08:32

I’m very interested in this one. I do like a sleep spray but I’ve used all mine up at present. Fingers crossed for all those who are looking for some skincare products. I don’t know what’s coming up as I bought this blind, but I have been comparing the value of what we have received so far (£515) to the total value advertised by Liberty (£1245 I think) so these last 8 days must contain some expensive products to reach that total. I’m quite excited.

@Netaporter you must be on the naughty list! Please can you pm me any sleep product suggestions if you can’t post on the thread, I need everything! 😂

PuzzlingRecluse · 17/12/2025 08:36

I’m so happy about today’s & looking forward to trying it tonight, I also love a good sleep product.

at the moment I have a gruum sleep candle on the go which is lovely ❤️

It’s been allowed now if you go back page 😂

@Netaporter brilliant, thanks! I’ve yet to find a gummy that doesn’t upset my stomach unfortunately. Will read up about the Biona and Therabody. We have the gun which is great.

2025istheyeari · 17/12/2025 08:57

Thanks @Netaporter, would be really interested to see what DH view on the sleep mask is. It was in the Vogue advent this year and I am stalking Vinted considering buying one but not sure how I’ll get on with it 🤔

Pinkyporky · 17/12/2025 09:40

After yet another nights poor sleep today’s was a welcome treat. I’m still using last years sleep spray and have just ordered some magnesium gummy’s- thank you for the tips!

redluckycat · 17/12/2025 09:43

Not beauty related sorry but in my mid 40s HRT has been a lifesaver for me with regards to sleep! I used to wake in the night unable to get back to sleep and had no idea it was linked to perimenopause. I was like this for 6+ months then started HRT for another reason and I started sleeping through the night straight away! If I do get woken for some reason I can now get back to sleep no problem.

I do feel that I sleep more deeply with sleep/ lavender based products; I don’t use them daily but usually save them for the night before an important day.

AndeanFlamingo · 17/12/2025 09:57

I absolutely love today's sleep balm.

Hicupping · 17/12/2025 10:03

I've found the OTO pillow mist works brilliantly for sleep. Think it was in a box as there's plenty on ebay. Tried This works and Bamford but there's something about the OTO that just works. Also take these just 1 though apart from Sunday when I need 2, been a repeat buyer as they help. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DRW22Q7V?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Maybe your stomach is upset by sweeteners rather than the magnesium? But obviously be careful with the type of magnesium you order. Magnesium citrate is sleep promoting, other forms of magnesium can be used as a laxative! Make sure you order the magnesium gummy‘s rather than the nighttime gummy‘s from the same brand as the magnesium content is much greater in the former rather than the latter

I shall let you know after Christmas! D H has a habit of being rather underwhelmed when opening a present he wasn’t expecting, but then discovers that it’s his most favourite gadget ever so fingers crossed!

IlovePond · 17/12/2025 12:07

I’m very very pleased with today’s door as I was about to buy some magnesium sprays to help with my sleep so will try this tonight!

Thanks for the running totals @narniabusiness

Have a lovely holiday @2025istheyeari

Thanks for the sleep stuff info @Netaporter

Btw: My replacement mascara came today, which was very quick service given Xmas post and all!

I’m very interested in today’s offering - I also thought it was a night cream!

Mine has also arrived but is the same as the first one so have emailed again.

IlovePond · 17/12/2025 14:57

Oh no @Tirednamechange - I didn’t check mine. I will do so in a bit. Thanks for the heads up.

My replacement mascara came today and it's much better!

SunMootStars · 17/12/2025 16:10

Also received my replacement mascara today within 48hrs of my email. It goes on very nicely! Glad I asked for the replacement now. Very happy 😊

SunnyPinkMoose · 17/12/2025 17:57

I’m glad I check this thread @TragicMuse i was going all in and going to slather on face 😆

Doubletroubledoubled · 17/12/2025 18:51

My replacement mascara arrived today and it’s exactly the same as the first. I’ve contacted them again too.
I assume sample sizes like this are included in the hope it will encourage further purchases - all this sample has succeeded in doing is to put me off Jones Road products.

DivorcedButHappyNow · 17/12/2025 19:22

Love the mascara. Will definitely be purchasing some.

Chickydoo · 17/12/2025 19:49

My replacement mascara arrived too. It's ok, better than the 1st but not brilliant

Ilikeyoursleeves · 17/12/2025 19:50

Unpopular opinion but even though my mascara is slightly gloopy / claggy (original one in the box) but it actually goes on really well and the brush makes my eyelashes more curled! Not sure I’d buy a full one but I’ve been wearing the little one we got every day since I opened it and I like it ☺️
