Liberty's Sellout Advent Calendar Is Back for Another Year—Here's What's Inside
Sponsor Content Created With Liberty
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. Scroll down to find out which gems are in this year's Liberty advent calendar and all the info on how to get your hands on one.
SHOP MY TOP FOUR PICKS FROM LIBERTY'S 2022 ADVENT CALENDAR
One of my favourite items in this year's advent calendar is a mini version of 111Skin's Rose Quartz Exfoliating Mask. The perfect way to wind down after a night out or indulge in some self-care during a busy period, it promises to brighten and smooth skin, leaving you with a fresh and glowy complexion. It also removes dead skin, reducing the appearance of pores and blemishes. The mini size means you can easily pop it in an overnight bag if you're heading away this year, too.
Rose Inc is supermodel and designer Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's latest innovation. Much loved by beauty editors and makeup artists, the Brow Renew Gel is infused with a buildable serum that both conditions and strengthens brows. It's also enriched with a blend of nourishing ingredients that help brows appear thicker and fuller. Plus, it's long-lasting and smudge-proof, so you can leave it on from morning to night.
This hero serum has been a favourite amongst skincare experts for years, and luckily, Liberty's 2022 advent calendar has a mini bottle for you to try at home. Containing 5% vitamin C, it helps reduce signs of ageing and promotes a healthy-looking, radiant complexion. It's also aims to protect from environmental stressors and is great for those prone to sensitive skin.
There are more than beauty and skincare products in this year's offering. Along with haircare and tools, there's a selection of candles like this gorgeous Liberty votive, which will last you well into the new year. It has base notes of rose, woodland moss and golden amber, so I'll be lighting mine during a relaxing pamper session ahead of the big day, or I'll (selflessly) give it to a loved one and make their day.

Poppy joined the Who What Wear UK team as managing editor in 2022. After graduating from university with a degree in English literature, she worked for a number of print and digital publications, including Women's Health, The Times, Hello! and Marie Claire. In these roles she assisted the fashion teams with print content as well as digital shopping features, shoots and celebrity news.
Prior to Who What Wear, Poppy worked at SheerLuxe as the commercial content manager. There she oversaw all paid-for site content and inclusions, managed the visual assets and briefs for branded content, and ensured all content—whether editorial or commercial—was in line with overall brand guidelines and tone. She also supported the editorial team by looking after visual merchandising on site and reviewing the brand’s daily newsletters.
As WWW UK’s managing editor, Poppy spends most of her time looking after the content calendar and all output across the brand, in addition to working with contributors, supporting with social media planning, assisting with branded content and contributing to brand strategy. Poppy prides herself on being organised, and a keen eye for detail means she oversees the production of tentpole moments such as Who What Wear’s quarterly celebrity covers, the Wedding Issue, team shoots, events, industry-facing moments, gift guides and more. In addition to this, Poppy ensures processes across the brand are efficient and effective, and is always on the lookout for ways the team can work smarter, not harder! As someone who works behind the scenes (Poppy loves a spreadsheet!), you won’t find many articles by Poppy on site, but when you do there’s no doubt they will either be focused on dresses, handbags or classic high-street buys. Or better yet, all three!
Born and raised in London, Poppy is a true city girl. When she's not thinking about clothes (or raiding her mum’s wardrobe), Poppy fills her time walking along the river with her 11-year-old labradoodle, getting stuck in a good book and enjoying as many of the city’s amazing restaurants and bars as her purse will allow! Her favourite London spots are Caravel for dinner, the Ham Yard Hotel for a fancy pre-theatre drink, Daunt Books for a new read, 26Grains for breakfast and Coal Drop's Yard for a spot of shopping.
