@IDontHateRainbows congratulations πŸ₯³ you definitely deserve a treat or two 🩷

Absolutely spray the perfume at home @DidILeaveTheGasOn- for complicated reasons I don't often leave the house and never used to use perfume but now I spray one every day and it gives me a huge boost. I have about 5 full sizes all for different moods and lots of samples to mix it up. Every time I get a waft of scent it brightens up my day.

After all, who is the enjoyment of that expensive perfume for - other people or for you?

I said the same to my mum . She retired last year at 82 ( only because she was made redundant ) . She said she won’t need much perfume now that she’s not working and said just enjoy it for yourself even at home. Turns out she is out way more than me with one friend or another anyway. I always have a spritz of perfume even at home. It gives me a little lift .

SheilaFentiman · 12/09/2026 20:45

cannot believe someone went through with a sharpie rather than just peeling off the price sticker!!

Someone was asking a couple of threads back about the Korres advent calendar - sorry Ive no idea who it was. I’ve just had an email to say that it’s available for pre order Korres https://uk.korres.com/products/advent-calendar-2026?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=campaign&utm_campaign=UK20260912_AdventCalCRMExcl+%282026-09-11%29

It wasn’t me but thanks for sharing as I was interested in this. I need to go back and find the contents 😁

IlovePond · 13/09/2026 09:07

@TragicMuse - probably because Liberty were trying to go to avoid a deluge of questions/complaints about why the Sisleya also only cost them Β£5!

Btw: If you want to see if you can retrieve the price, gentle application of nail varnish remover will often lift off Sharpie or other black markers from things!

nearly61 · 13/09/2026 19:35

Oh @IlovePond I know that's not beauty related but its a jolly useful tip thank you! I'm quite messy when I use sharpies

IlovePond · 13/09/2026 22:37

Years of practice removing graffiti from desks, walls, posters, etc. @nearly61 😹😹😹

Companies seem to have made nail varnish less effective aka less toxic? 😹 in recent years as it’s not as effective as the β€˜good’ stuff used to be, but it’s still always worth a shot!

ClutteredPalace · 14/09/2026 05:32

Just to jump in on the sharpie cleaning, cheap hairspray is also good for removing it.

They are only revealing one product at this stage. That’s definitely a shot in the dark.

But also quite cheap!

SheilaFentiman · 14/09/2026 09:59

At Β£2 a day I think it's OK not to know much about what's in it :)

True. I hadn't actually looked at the price😁

I guess a good way to see if you like their products.
