With summer well and truly behind us, there’s only one thing on my mind right now: Christmas. I love nothing more than the twinkly lights, fun get-togethers and general merriment that’s synonymous with the festive period, but nothing gets me more excited than Liberty’s showstopping beauty advent calendar.
Last year, the brand’s advent calendar was the most successful and fastest selling product in its 145-year history, proving that fans continue to flock in masses to nab the iconic countdown. Intrigued? Thankfully, we were given a sneak preview at the 2022 edition.
Behind 24 gold-embossed doors, you’ll find 30 of the most sought-after products from the store’s iconic beauty hall, for a total value of £1065 (its highest yet). Expect haircare heroes from the likes of celebrity hairstylist Larry King and skincare staples from cult brands such as Sunday Riley and Kate Somerville. Plus, some of this year’s biggest beauty names, including Rose Inc, also make an appearance. So there’s no doubt you’ll be party (and recovery) ready.
Not only does the Liberty calendar make the countdown to the big day even more exciting, but it’s also a lovely festive decoration. The carefully curated edit comes housed in a beautiful recyclable box featuring a gorgeous illustration of the iconic storefront in a snowy setting, which will look lovely on a mantel, windowsill or sideboard over the Christmas period. If you’re feeling generous, you could also gift a loved one with this calendar and make their Christmas countdown that bit more indulgent.
I’ve rounded up my top four products from the calendar, which you’re bound to want more of after they run out. Plus, if you like to know the contents of each and every drawer, I’ve secured the full list below.
