We haven’t got our hands on the calendar just yet, so stay tuned for our full review closer to launch. For now, though, you can officially join the waitlist — and considering Liberty says its beauty calendar remains the fastest-selling product in the retailer’s 150-year history, I wouldn’t hang around.

What’s improved from 2025?

The price has increased slightly from £275 to £285, but so has the overall value — jumping from over £1,245 to over £1,300. While there are 29 beauty products this year compared to 30 in 2025, you’re getting 21 full sizes instead of 20, plus a huge 26 products are exclusive to the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar.

Your chances of finding a Golden Ticket have gone up, too, with 20 hidden inside selected calendars this year — up from 15 in 2025 – each worth a huge £1,000 to spend at Liberty. Clym Evernden is also back for a fourth year with another collectable illustrated design inspired by Liberty’s Regent Street flagship, and the Liberty print drawstring bag is making a return.

What’s inside the Liberty Advent calendar 2026?

Warning: spoilers ahead. As Glamour’s beauty writer, I’m lucky enough to test and review a lot of different beauty brands and products for my job – and when I say this line-up is good, I mean it. While plenty of Liberty favourites are back for 2026, there are some exciting new names that didn’t feature in last year’s calendar, including Sunday Riley, ILIA Beauty, U Beauty, Reome, Joonbyrd, Innersense, Grown Alchemist and Violette_FR.

What I’m particularly happy about, though, is that even where brands have returned from 2025, almost all of the actual products have been switched up. So, rather than opening the doors to find a repeat of last year’s calendar – a bit of a pet hate of mine – you’re getting something new from the likes of Augustinus Bader, Lisa Eldridge, Trinny London, Davines, Maria Nila and Jones Road. There’s also a really good mix of some of beauty’s biggest names alongside brands you might not have tried before, with MZ Skin, Innersense, Verden, Joonbyrd and Charlotte Mensah all in the mix.
