Liberty beauty drop

[absley]

Exciting, Cos!

[Livilla]

I’ve ordered it too! I used all my credit, plus their discount, so it only cost £35. Due to prioritising house spending (and general economics) we are having a budget Christmas this year, so it will be nice to have a Christmas treat.

[Tabitha]

Yes, I’ve done it too. With the discount and my credit it felt justifiable. I had a quick scan of the contents and they look good, I hope I will have forgotten them by December.

[Cosmopolitan]

Same a Liv, it ended up being £35 so feels like a result. I also didn't even look at what was in it so it's a proper surprise treat.

[Luna]

I hope it's not all Ren glycolic tonic, elasticizer and Nars bronzer.

[Cosmopolitan]

Me too. But I might be out of those by Dec. Well, not the bronzer, that never runs out!

[absley]

Using BD credit is such a smart move. I used mine to buy that basilico perfume, which feels all wrong in this cooler weather and has had to be put away for when it is next warm.

[Edith Bacon]

I was going to use BD credit for the calendar but J has gone ahead and ordered one as a surprise - just like he does every year - so I will have to spend the credit on something else

[Tabitha]

That perfume is gorgeous though absley, you’ll be pleased with yourself when you dig it out next year.

[Tabitha]

Boxes arrive tomorrow. Hope it's better than the last one...

[absley]

Mine has just arrived - I'm really happy. Seven items!

[Cosmopolitan]

Oh fab. I'm away at the moment so nice to have a present when I get back

[Livilla]

I’m happy too - all things I will use this time. I have tried two today…

[Tabitha]

I agree, this is a nice mix.

[Edith Bacon]

I also agree - a much better box than the last one or two.

[absley]

I’m happy too - all things I will use this time. I have tried two today…

What did you try and what did you think, Liv?

[Livilla]

Yesterday I tried the perfume (nice and long lasting - very powerfully floral though which might not be to everyone’s taste! My favourite perfume is Aerin’s Lilac Path though ) and the pencil. Today I tried the primer - also liked it a lot.

As an aside, recently I’ve used the Davines OI All in one milk which came in the July box, and absolutely loved that - definitely going to buy a bottle of that when the gift one runs out!

[Tabitha]

What colour pencil did you get Liv? Mine is blue, which isn’t a colour I’ve tried since Rimmel Azure in the 80s.

I wore the perfume yesterday as well, it’s lovely.

[absley]

Oh, I didn't realise that the pencils may have been different colours - mine is green. Will you use the blue, Tabitha? I think there's a recent Caroline Barnes video on wearing blue eyeshadow in your 40s if you need inspiration.

I've put all of my items away for when we move house, so I can have them as a treat then. It's lovely to hear that people are enjoying them though. I also love the Davines oi and have bought it before.

[Tabitha]

I'll give the blue a try, but I don't have hopes. Thank you for the video rec, I will take a look.
