Getting your hands on a signature Liberty beauty advent calendar is no small feat. In fact, it’s not dissimilar from entering a virtual queue to battle for tickets for a concert or festival. The dollhouse-esque, grandiose Christmas countdown has sold out ten years in a row.
There’s a pre-sale, which requires a subscription to the department store’s cult-favourite Beauty Drop, a wait list, and a general sale during which the less organised beauty enthusiasts can battle it out for the chance to get full-sized products from the likes of Lisa Eldrige, Augustinus Bader, Jones Road, Trinny London, Ex Nihilo and more for a fraction of the price.
