Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar Opening Thread Part Two

[IlovePond]

Hi,

Welcome to Part Two, (or Day 18 onwards…)

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've been using it in the bath! ☺️ I was WFH all last week with flu/illness so had a bath most days. It really helped me relax my aching muscles plus didn't have to moisturise after as skin was so soft.

Ah I love Vilhelm fragrances. This one is really citrussy on me which I like. I liked Poets of Berlin too, But my total fave like @HostessTrolley is Peony Couture - peppery and floral and it lasts for ages. I have bought and bought the ones on eBay and currently have one on the go and one spare in my stash :)

I think I just ruined my Christmas though.... I was checking our joint bank account and there's a payment of £220 to liberty 👀

Does anyone think today’s in reminiscent of one of the poets of Berlin from a prior year? I assume it’s the same firm given the twisted glass bottle and the distinctive atomiser cap?

Sadly not for me…

Was strangely happy to see another perfume today (it's been days!) and the bottle is beautiful. I can def smell the champagne and fruitiness. It's giving me flashbacks of snakebite black / lager and lime on me which I'm very not sure of as feel like someone has spilled a drink on me- so not a favourite now and will have to give a few more tries when at home for the day. It is what they've aimed for I think. Does anyone want to smell like champagne?

Now I want to try Peony Couture, sounds right up my street! I’ve loved all the Vilhelm perfumes I’ve had in boxes and calendars. Some take a while to grow on me but then I love them

Same, they are the same brand: their all too "perfume hall" smelling for me: I buy from perfume halls (Not sure thats the name but where all the perfumes and cosmetic brands are) but theres something of the generic over powering smell when you go in in these

After initial shock 😯 wears off just think how brilliant to have it all ! You are going to be sorted for a while 🙌🏽 💃💃💃

Would anyone would like to swap the granado for today's perfume?

You’ll still be delighted. I certainly would be. I know what my big “surprise” is but I know I’ll still be overjoyed when I open it.

@Skibunnygal fab, PM me and we can do a swap!

noooooooo any out there still I MUST have they are for me only

Do you mean I’ll send you today’s and you send me Granado or the other way round?

Having said that I did spray todays, a little squit and as @TheFutureIs said its grown on me! 😃

Oh sorry, I see that's not clear. I would like to receive the granado and send the Vilhelm in return

Ah I see. I’ll pass then if that’s okay as I would rather have another granado as well.

@H3lloMums - that’s exactly what I said to the assistant in Liberty when I sprayed Sparkling Jo on me - like I had tipped a can of lager over my head. That’s what they were going for, apparently 😹

To all of those who are put off the mascara by the rubbish ones some received, please give it a go once you have a decent tube. It’s brilliant! I’ve worn it every day, and it has given me such great separation and lift - but most importantly, it easily stands up to the best tubing mascaras I’ve used in terms of longevity and not smudging over the course of the day.

@Lotsofpots I agree, the wand is great and gives my lashes a great curl

Sharing the love of peony couture. It’s my summer go to.

I absolutely love today’s perfume, my favourite item yet! It’s fresh but glam - I’ll wear it on Christmas Day. It’s funny how perfume smells different on different people. I remember my aunt smelt beautiful so my mother bought the same perfume and it smelt completely different. So unpredictable!

Today’s perfume really doesn’t suit me. If anyone wants to swap for the eye masks, moisturiser, body oil, lipstick, vyrao or grenado let me know!

Can the eyeliner be sharpened with a bog standard eye pencil sharpener, or do I need to buy a special one?

I would be happy to swap the Grenado (I’ll send it to you) for today’s Vilhelm if anyone’s interested?

Yes please @msmillicentcat
