Liberty Beauty Drop Spoiler (from the despatch date!) Part 11

[Housewife2010]

Lovely new niche scented thread ready for our April box.

Up to you. The offer’s there.

That will be where I saw it @TofuTuesday - seriously there are loads for sale on eBay, (I just checked), as it’s a very Marmite fragrance.

If you look at the other items people are selling and at the feedback, it’s usually easy to tell who are genuine sellers. EBay are also pretty good at resolving issues in the buyer’s favour in the event of any problems.

Thanks @BlossomtoesI will message you x

Thank you, I will take a look. I don’t use eBay, but I’m sure I can work it out.

Haven’t bought the AC for the same reason! Hate the weird perfumes 😂 There’s far too many.

@TofuTuesday I always sell Bibi on eBay. I’ve got Santal posted on there and I’m sure I’ve got a Swimming Pool to sell too.

I love all the weird perfumes! Definitely they should do a haters/ lovers version!

I'm very open to all kinds of fragrances...I can usually find something to love in most decent perfumes and I've barely met one that I can't tolerate for at least a few sprays, BUT I really do not like Bibi Swimming Pool Definitely a marmite one!

I did try to use it for the odd day during the heatwave, as it's very suited to warmer weather, but I could not get past the awful toothpasteiness of it. Mint is a tricky note to perfect in fragrance, I think.

I can't be bothered to sell anything, but if I can find it in my stash, I'll let you know - happy to just post it if it turns up!

If anyone else has a 10ml Swimming Pool they want to do some kind of swap for let me know please, I really like it!

It’s so interesting how marmite-like that fragrance is. I wonder what makes some of us like it and some of us shudder!

You’re welcome to mine if @TofuTuesday doesn’t want it n

I have had both sides of the marmite, initially hated it and grew to appreciate it but only at certain times. It's a great one when you have a blocked nose and need something bracing. Probably the Eucalyptus.

It's all down to individual skin chemistry.
I love Swimming Pool and the initial blast of eucalyptus doesn't last long on me & SP turns into a lemony rosy gingery pine scent due to how the ingredients interact on my skin.

@blossomtoesI think I’ve managed to message you, I’ve only ever replied so let me know if nothing appears

This is so funny. Like it’s a smear of Vicks on your chest 🤣 initially I was a bit unsure but it’s really grown on me.

I like the smell of swimming pool but don’t want to smell of it myself, so I usually give it to my husband. He does quite well out of the liberty subscription as I palm off all the more unisex perfumes on him. And there has been a lot of those lately.
However, I did love the Vanilla Powder from the last advent and got so many compliments. Which was unexpected as I’m not usually a vanilla perfume kind of person, they’re often too sickly sweet but this one is different. So I just treated myself to a full bottle to spend some credit and vouchers ☺️

Vanilla Powder was my absolute favourite from last year’s calendar. I’ve got a tiny bit left, just enough to wear on my 60th birthday in December. At least I’ll smell nice then!

I haven’t actually dared open the Vanilla Powder as I was so disappointed with the other perfumes but think I’ll give it a try ☺️

Anyone seen any hints for next box? Not spoilers! Or predictions? I’m still pleased with last one and also trying to hold off from buying any edits or calendars until discounts.

i would like more perfumes even if I hate them, and maybe a body cream. No hair stuff.

I also have a Beauty pie superdrops if anyone wants it - swap or postage only to a good home.

Does anyone remember what the ode ona (?) from the advent (I think) was like? I've had it sitting on my drawers unopened and am wondering whether to simply sell on vinted or finally crack and open it!
Also -I'm hoping for hints about the next drop box too! I really enjoyed the last one and usually the October one is even better

If it’s the Carte Blanche one, it was from a liberty scent edit I believe. It’s very herbal I would say, earthy type of fragrance and there is tea (I would prefer if there was more tea). On paper I love all the notes but it’s not a love for me. It’s pleasant though if you like aromatic fragrances, but people do comment that it smells medicinal so unlikely to be your thing if you don’t like that. @nearly61

Thanks to those posters who said that Rewards Vouchers could be found at the end of the Liberty Sunday emails.

I retrieved last week’s email from Spam and there was my £10 reward voucher hiding right at the bottom.

Liberty are so weird. Any normal company would be emailing customers holding rewards saying things like: ‘Ooh, you have a £10 reward, what will you spend it on?´ rather than letting people forget about them.

CB and SNK do the above and, of course, I go onsite and spend money I would not otherwise have done, had they not reminded me about my credit!

It’s Rewards Week starting 12/10 so I am hopeful there will be a deal enabling me to spend my BD credit and Loyalty Voucher on things I actually want at a reduced price!

On a related note: Does anyone have any idea when/if Liberty might do the ‘spend £300, get £100 off’ deal again?

Thanks

It must be coming up very soon - I've definitely seen FB/Instagram ads promoting it in the last couple of days.

Though I didn't pay much attention at the time, and can't find one now 😅I'll grab a snapshot next time one pops up.

Thanks @Mejera - someone on another thread has just told me that the spend £300 ‘deal’ is on now.

I have had a quick look, but the brand I am in interested in - Missoma - is excluded! (In a moment of madness, I was thinking about getting their overpriced tiny ‘advent’ calendar! )

I loved the last one. I’m on holiday and have brought some shampoos, can’t find bibbi in duty free.
btw - bibbi pronounciation?

I read it was bibbi (like Bibby) but stores say beebee
