We got a first look inside Liberty's impressive 2026 Beauty Advent Calendar and we're predicting it will sell out fast
Run, don't walk: This iconic calendar has previously sold out in as little as 25 minutes – and this year's is even better than ever before
Although it feels somewhat illegal, the woman&home beauty team has spent the last two months talking about all things Christmas. Yes, you heard us right, even in the midst of 101 summer heatwaves.
If my calculations are correct, we're still 11 weeks away from 1st December, but Liberty is getting ahead of the game with the launch of their coveted beauty advent calendar. The calendar in question unsurprisingly sells out every year, thanks to being stashed full of the best face moisturisers and best eye creams.
Returning for its 12th year, we think the 2026 calendar marks the best one yet as it's packed full of 29 luxury beauty buys that are collectively worth more than ever before (over £1300). Plus, we have all the intel on its contents, how many full-sized buys to expect, and how to get your hands on the calendar...
RRP: £285
Number of products: 29 (21 full-size, plus a drawstring bag)
Total value of products included: £1,300+
Highest value item: £180
What's included? Liberty has partnered for the fourth (and final) year with artist Clym Evernden to design this year's advent calendar, which brings the flagship store to life through beautiful illustrations. You'll be treated to 29 buys, 21 of which are full-size and 26 that you won't find in other advent calendars. Discover skincare, makeup, fragrance, and bath and body formulas from the likes of Sunday Riley, MZ Skin, Trinny London and Augustinus Bader. Plus, inside 20 calendars you'll find a Golden Ticket worth £1,000 to spend at Liberty.
Release date: Available now

Does the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar sell out?
The Liberty calendar is one of the most in-demand beauty advent calendars on the market, all thanks to the big-name luxury brands inside. Its high-value contents have a combined retail price that is four and a half times higher than the calendar's actual price tag.
All of which is why this specific advent calendar is always quick to fly off the shelves. From previous experience covering beauty advent calendars, we're predicting that this year's offering won't be sticking around for very long. In fact, last year's pre-orders broke records by selling two calendars every 45 seconds. So, we'd recommend snapping one up sooner rather than later to avoid missing out.
Our team's picks from the Liberty Advent Calendar 2026
Housing an impressive lineup of luxury beauty buys, it's no surprise that this advent calendar makes home to some of our team's favourite formulas. From a high-end nourishing face oil to a multi-tasking balm that adds a radiant flush of colour to the cheeks, here's our team's top picks from the 2026 calendar...
RRP: £80
Powered by Augustinus Bader's renowned TFC8 complex, which aids skin rejuvenation and renewal, this rich and potent face oil is also enriched with a cocktail of oils to deeply hydrate, smooth and brighten the complexion. It quickly absorbs into the skin which aids its featherlight feel, while working to minimise the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
RRP: £18
This multipurpose light-reflecting balm is designed to give your complexion a fresh and healthy glow. Melting into the skin for natural-looking radiance, you can use the Jones Road Miracle Balm as a highlighter, blush, bronzer and more. Enriched with skin-loving ingredients, it's comfortable to wear and leaves the skin with a smooth and moisturised finish too.
RRP: £30
VIOLETTE_FR's Lip Nectar is a high-performance stain that boasts an innovative oil-in-water formula for a long all-day wear. Enriched with squalane, shea butter, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid, this hydrating formula keeps lips soft and comfortable, while delivering a glossy high-shine finish.
