Liberty of London Advent calendar 2020 product review

Liberty is a bizarre store: it has creaky staircases and a department outlay that is plain odd. However, it all works and the beauty department is second to none. So I am excited to review this year’s Advent calendar.

But, first what is and Advent calendar?

“Advent” means Coming in Latin and an advent calendar counts the days to Christmas.  For example, this is the Liberty Beauty calendar. It has multiple numbered drawers and in the countdown to Christmas, you open a drawer/day and it will reveal a present (e.g.) a candle, parfum, soap etc.

Liberty Beauty Advent calendar

P.S. As Alexander Pope wrote, “To err is human, to forgive divine” so my calculations may have errors. Don’t shoot me, tell me.

What do I think?

Please correct me if I am wrong, but Liberty does not offer free worldwide shipping on this calendar. Complete bummer.

Obviously, if you are really not into skincare, then you should absolutely not buy this calendar. Also, one of the skincare products cost £155 (QMD Medicosmetics Lip Line Corrector) and if you are not certain what you’ll do with this product, you should not buy this calendar…
