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

I'll swap for the eye cream with you, I'll PM you x

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.

I would love the Vyrao perfume please. Will pm you.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

A great drawer to end on - I’m very pleased!

I tried the Votary serum yesterday - not seen any startling effects yet, but we’ll see.

Re: The problematic mascara.

Having tried it yesterday and not thinking it anything special, I had a proper look at my eyes last night and my lashes looked spectacular!

I was thrilled so applied it again this morning. Sadly, today the rest all came out clumpy and just glooped all over my lashes 😿 I now understand the mixed reviews- when it works it’s fantastic, when it’s ‘off’, well…🙀

Anyway - it’s been lovely talking to you all about the calendar and its contents. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and thank you all for your contributions xxx

Morning! Fantastic last drawer and I love the perfume and excited about the eye cream. Did anyone get the golden ticket? Merry Christmas

Also, I'd be up for swapping my sparkling jo perfume for either the eye masks, mirror oil or overnight balm.

clary · 25/12/2025 11:49

Happy Christmas all! Great drawer to end on, excited to try these. I was thinking of selling the eye cream(AB rich cream is not for me) but if it costs that much I’ll just use it!

Wearing my fave Peony Couture for Christmas Day - from a Liberty calendar ofc (and maybe my fifth bottle? Now you see why I chose this calendar #perfumefiend)

Merry Christmas! What a wonderful way to end the advent. Have a fantastic day and enjoy your gorgeous new goodies- I know I will 🥰

Eeyorefan · 25/12/2025 12:03

Would anyone like to swap for the Trinny, dermalogica, Paula’s choice or Larry king? I would like to swap for any of the perfume or the Sisley toner.

Fabulously strong finish for the year, haven’t tried either yet but looking forward to it. Have enjoyed chatting with you all and almost certainly see you all next year xx

I wasn't going to buy next year as I was annoyed at so many fragrances, but I'll see you next year 😁
I've been back through my drawers today and I'm very happy actually.

Same bat time

(I may have been at the wine...)

2025istheyeari · 25/12/2025 16:34

I’ll prob see you all next year too 🎄🤣great last couple of days. Happily swipe the sparkling Jo perfume too for non perfume items, ideally skin care? Have a fab rest of your day all and thanks for honest reviews, hints and tips. I personally hope Liberty do a separate perfume calendar next year so I can avoid it!!

TreesinthePark · 25/12/2025 17:24

Merry Christmas, everyone! I only expected the perfume today so was delighted with the AB eye cream. I'll probably use it all over my face as I've never got into the habit of eye cream.
Glad I resisted the temptation to smell the perfume earlier - its lovely and the spray nozzle is much appreciated too.

I hope to see many of you here next year and I'm saving my BD credit for it already.
@2025istheyeari I also hope there's a separate perfume advent next year too so I can buy both 😁

TragicMuse · 25/12/2025 17:25

I’m really pleased with the eye cream! I have a few eye creams for the year from my stash so I’ll enjoy this one too.

Not sure about the scent yet , I can’t decide whether to take the plastic off to try it.

Tirednamechange · 25/12/2025 17:42

LOVE this perfume too.
I'm pretty happy with everything but won't use the eye pencil if anyone wants to swap? I'd love another of the ex nihilo, grenado, zepherine or today's perfume.

I’ll happily swap the perfume from today (vanilla) for the eye pencil, if you would like to pm me?

Amazing I will PM you now

HostessTrolley · 25/12/2025 21:39

I've decided today I need to have a sort through and organise my stash - it's not that impressive, but once I add the advent calendar bits and today's Christmas presents from DH of Peony Couture perfume and the Elemis TSV set from QVC (I ordered this for his mum as I really liked it, he got the idea from there) then I need to sort out and either swap some bits or redistribute to my daughter and nieces.

Still shocked that he bought the perfume, but I love it. Sprayed a little at about 10am and can still smell it almost 12 hours later

madgreenlemons · 25/12/2025 23:03

Does anybody rate the eye cream? I’ve not tried it yet but don’t usually get on with eye cream. Or alternatively is it a decent moisturiser?

Howmanyroses · 26/12/2025 07:34

I am still up for swapping my Vyrao perfume with something else , except another perfume.....

Would you like the shampoo and conditioner or the Larry king product?

Itsnouse · 26/12/2025 08:05

I didn't get on with any of those unfortunately, would you want to swap for anything else by any chance?

Sunshineo · 26/12/2025 09:32

Loved yesterdays drawer!

It’s been so nice talking to everyone on this thread, hope you all had a lovely day yesterday!

spoeke · 26/12/2025 09:35

Morning all, I don’t suppose there’s anyone who’d want to swap their DS & Durga for my Vanilla Powder at all? Thanks so much!

Im the same, I haven't opened the box yet! I guess we should as we need to know if we like it? 🤷‍♂️
