@BIossomtoes They couldn't because it's linked to your account. They know I've bought a calendar and didn't need to ask for any details to send the replacement because they already had my name and address.

What about the person without an account who purchased in store? They can’t have different rules for different customers.

I had to send DH’s order number/confirmation email.

Happy with today’s drawer!

I am wearing the replacement mascara today. It still looked and felt very dry on the brush but not as clumpy as no1. It’s ok once on, but nothing special. I wouldn’t ever buy this brand after trying this mascara.

I think mascaras are so personal, I wouldn’t judge the whole brand on it. I love hourglass lip and cheeks products, but the mascara is crap on me.

there are some Jones Road products I would repurchase over and over (just a sec eye shadow, wtf foundation, the miracle balms, mascara). Others I wouldn’t bother (eye pencil, lip gloss).

TragicMuse · 24/12/2025 12:17

I’m really pleased with today. I love skin treat! And thanks to @Netaporter for the advice on when to use.

H3lloMums · 24/12/2025 13:21

Love todays generous double drawer!

TheCovetedDuchessRose · 24/12/2025 13:29

Sunshineo · 23/12/2025 21:42

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!

Hi, did you get a swap? I would happily swap the body oil or vyrao?

Howmanyroses · 24/12/2025 13:38

If anyone would like Vyrao perfume, I'd be happy to swap for something else. Its not one for me

Late posting as always but just wanted to add how excited I was too at opening a double drawer and especially a double drawer of expensive skin care. Thank you to @Netaporter and others for hints and tips on how to use these in a day to day routine. I love that we've received so many different use items -all good quality and none completely outrageous in cost, though that's very personal I realise. I've loved this calendar but especially this thread and very much enjoy reading everyone's individual take, good or bad, on each drawer and its contents. Thank you!

Ilikeyoursleeves · 24/12/2025 17:35

Last day tomorrow! What will we do without a little drawer to open and this group to get excited with?!

Hope you are all having a beauty ful Christmas Eve!

keepincool · 24/12/2025 18:00

@Chocolateteabag I've just pm'd you - i can post the elasticizer to you on Saturday if you let me know postal details 🙂

TheCovetedDuchessRose · 24/12/2025 18:01

I am loving the La Mer lip balm, it lasts for hours and as I am never without lip balm, it is a brilliant find for me. It’s a family joke how much I use lip balm but I may need to buy another or do a swap if anybody doesn’t like it.

I am also really impressed with the “social life for your hair”, I use it after washing/drying and before wrapping my hair for heat less curls. It makes my long bob look fantastic and I don’t need to reapply until after the next wash

What would you like as I love this perfume? I’m not keen on the Paula’s choice, granado perfume or elastizer…. Maybe something else..,

Sunshineo · 24/12/2025 19:21

@TheCovetedDuchessRose ohhh! Would love to swap for the body oil please! I’ll pm you!

Also, thanks for describing how to use the LK! I am doing it wrong I think!

Yes please @msmillicentcat

I don’t know how to pm you! Can you only do that from a computer as I’m using the phone app.

Chocolateteabag · 24/12/2025 22:57

@keepincool - thank you!! Have just replied xx

😂 I use the phone app too, but to send a PM I use the browser on my phone and go to the Mumsnet website and then once you've logged in there is a little person icon - click on that and private messages comes up I think.

redluckycat · 25/12/2025 08:24

Wow wow wow! Have just managed to open day 25; I’ve been up since 6am with the DC! What a finale!

Augustinus Bader The Rich eye cream worth £160 (!) I can’t wait to try this!

and Matiere Premiere Vanilla Powder travel size eau de parfum worth £38. I absolutely love this - I love vanilla.

I am so happy and have been thrilled overall with this calendar. The only thing I haven’t been keen on is the cleanser as I find it drying, but other than that I have loved everything and I have a full range of products to take into the new year - what a treat!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

fourquenelles · 25/12/2025 09:33

I have been lurking and opening along with you over the last 25 days. My very first advent calendar of any description and all thanks to a small inheritance from my DDad. I loved all the perfumes and I will rotate probably daily! I loved the eyeliner - the smoothest i have ever used - , lipstick, serum, shampoo and conditioner. Much of the facial routine stuff I have passed on to DD because I have never had a facial routine and at 70 don't intend starting! The dust bag is being converted into a cushion cover and the box into a store for my dollshouse overflow bits and bobs. VFM? Definitely. Would I buy again? Jury is out atm. Happy Christmas to you all.

countdowntonap · 25/12/2025 10:00

Absolutely loving this morning’s items, but hoping I don’t fall in love with the eye cream (like I did the rich face cream previously) as it’s really not in my daily budget!

Now debating whether to wear the Sparkling Jo perfume out to lunch today, or whether I may smell like I’ve been quaffing champagne since 7am 😂

Ilikeyoursleeves · 25/12/2025 10:14

Merry Christmas everyone!!

What a great drawer for Christmas! Augustus Bader The Rich Eye cream (£160!!!!) and Vanilla Powder perfume. I’ve not tried that yet as it’s cellophane wrapped and I’ve already put other perfume on that I got for Xmas. I’ve really enjoyed this AC, I will use all of it and nothing is a DoD for me. I’ve loved all the perfumes (prob the main reason I chose this one), the make up, the fancy skin care and trying things I’d just never buy for myself.

Have a wonderful day all!

Happy Christmas everybody! I hope you all have a lovely day wearing your Liberty products!

I love the perfume today so if anyone is not so keen and would like to swap theirs, please PM me as I can exchange your Vanilla Powder for the Vyrao perfume, Bibbi perfume or Lisa Eldridge pencil which I have.

PuzzlingRecluse · 25/12/2025 10:37

Morning everyone, I’m also in love with today’s perfume - never seen such a tiny bottle so beautifully wrapped 😍

I won’t use the eye cream, if anyone wants to swap for the perfume please let me know.

hope you all have a lovely break xx
