When does the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 go on sale?
General sale for the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 is set to take place on Wednesday 2nd September. However, the waitlist has now opened, meaning you can sign up to be the first to find out when this year's edition arrives.
That said, Liberty Beauty Drop subscribers will be able to pre-order the calendar until 20th August. They will also get early access to purchase the calendar on Tuesday 1st September, as well as an exclusive £25 saving. A subscription will set you back £25 a month, but you get £20 store credit every month and four seasonal beauty boxes throughout the year.
How to shop the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar 2026
If you're looking to get your hands on this year's Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar, you'll be able to purchase it online via Liberty's website or by visiting the landmark store on Regent Street, London.
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 signing up to the waitlist 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.
