Unboxing the Liberty Advent Calendar 2024

Getting us into the spirit of the holiday season, albeit a tad early, the iconic advent calendar has stuck to tradition with this year's design. Following suit from previous years, the calendar features an ink-based illustration of Liberty London's iconic storefront.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the coveted advent calendar's launch in 2014, which might just be the reason that the brand has gone above and beyond with their generous stash of beauty goodies. You can only imagine our excitement as we unboxed each drawer (albeit a tad early) to reveal 18 full-sized products, plus 10 travel-sized buys, from some of the most luxurious and up-market brands available on the market.

Other than featuring eight new brands, the calendar also debuts 15 new products, whilst other much-loved products make a return for another year. Plus, you have a chance of winning five Golden Tickets, each worth £1,000, to spend at Liberty, adding yet another element of excitement into the mix.

The Beauty Team's top product picks

Taking our beauty team by surprise, the calendar makes home to a few standout products that we reach for on a daily basis. Get you more bang for your buck with these full-sized products from the likes of La Mer, Augustinus Bader and Sunday Riley...

Beauty Editor's pick

Sunday Riley Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment 30ml

RRP: £70

Beauty Editor, Fiona McKim's attention was first grabbed by the full-sized Sunday Riley Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment, which she describes as being: "Sunday Riley's most legendary product (and this brand isn't short of beauty icons)." As for how the product performs, Fiona says: "It's an ultra-effective exfoliator in a unique serum texture that makes an instant impact on skin texture and glow. I've been obsessed with this for years and like to apply it a couple of times a week in the run-up to a big event - no more than that, though, this stuff is powerful."

Beauty Writer's pick

La Mer The Lip Volumiser

RRP: £72

While this La Mer lip gloss comes with an eye-watering price tag, its formula certainly doesn't disappoint. Enriched with a myriad of moisturising ingredients, such as algae extract, shea butter, coconut oil and cucumber extract (plus the brand's Miracle Broth™), this lip gloss not only leaves your pout feeling nourished and hydrated but plumps them for a fuller appearance. Most notably, it doesn't boast that dreaded sticky feeling that attracts strands of your hair - a huge tick from me.

Beauty Editor's pick

Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream 15ml

RRP: £74 for 15ml

Augustinus Bader's The Rich Cream is another favourite product in Fiona's makeup bag, all thanks to its ultra hydrating and nourishing formula. Boasting a hefty price tag, she says: "You might be thinking, how effective can a face moisturiser really be? In the case of this particular cream, the answer is very." Fiona describes this moisturiser as the perfect candidate for the upcoming colder months, she says: "It has the most sumptuous texture, like a big hydrating hug for parched skin. It also contains the brand's TCF8 complex, a 20-strong cocktail of peptides, vitamins and other good things that boost skin health without being remotely aggressive. I wouldn't use this all year round on my combination skin but for autumn/winter it is the absolute business. Pure luxury."

When does the Liberty Advent Calendar go on sale?

After officially launching on Wednesday 4th September, you'll be pleased to know that the 2024 Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar is available to shop now. If you're after the highly sought-after advent calendar, you can grab one for yourself online via Liberty's website or by visiting the landmark store on Regent Street, London.

Do Liberty advent calendars sell out?

The Liberty advent calendar never fails to be in high demand, thanks to its stellar lineup of luxury, well-known beauty products - which boast a combined retail price much higher than the calendar's actual price tag. While we can't say exactly how much stock the brand has, we can certainly say based on experience that these advent calendars won't be sticking around for very long, so don't spend too long toying with the idea of adding one to your basket...
