First impressions
Crafted into the shape of the iconic Liberty building in London, this Advent calendar is a real show-stopper.
Delicately painted to highlight the wonder of the Liberty store during Christmas, it's immediately clear that this will be a calendar like no other.
Once the doors of the Advent open, a classic Liberty print reveals itself.
Liberty prints are infamous and widely recognised for a reason. Beautifully intricate and rich in colour, the prints are unquestionably timeless.
I wasn't sure how well the prints would translate on an Advent calendar but they are truly just as stunning as they are on fabric.
Delicately painted onto each drawer is an embossed gold number, which just adds to the luxe feel.
Each drawer is sizeable and sturdy which left me with high hopes of what might lie within.
What's inside the Liberty Advent Calendar?
Despite the beautiful packaging, it's what's inside the Liberty Advent calendar that really makes it a showstopper.
Packed full of 28 premium products, this calendar really makes the December countdown an exciting one.
The range of products featured in Liberty's 2024 Advent calendar really is impressive.
There are some beauty heroes that I was very excited to see in the mix including (30ml), (15ml), (30ml), and (9ml).
There are also some cult favourites that I've not tried before and am super excited to give a go, from (50ml), to '' (50ml), to (14ml) and , there's plenty in the calendar to test, try and enjoy.

The Liberty Advent calendar has something for everyone, which is what makes it so great.
Don't get me wrong, solo brand Advent calendars are perfect for die-hard fans or those looking to test out a particular label. However, for the generalists out there, Liberty really is one to behold.
I think when you consider the pricing of other multi-brand Advents, the Liberty one isn't that expensive - think Cult Beauty (£235), Space NK (£250), and (£250).
They're all great and have a wide range of products but, in my opinion, the Liberty one offers a little something special.
