The beauty advent calendars we’re coveting this winter
Words Catherine Hales
Liberty, £165
Fans of the iconic London department store can now take the shop home in miniature for advent. Containing over £500 worth of products, including several full size pots and potions, this is one for the handcrafted beauty fanatics. Brands included span from Byredo and Bobbi Brown to Diptyque and Dermalogica.
Available from 26th October at Liberty; libertylondon.com
Jo Malone, £280
Twenty-four days of Jo Malone favourites from 30ml fragrances to scented soaps, their annual advent calendar is always a smash hit and this year looks set to be no different. Not only crammed with goodies but lovely to look at, the calendar itself is a replica of the Jo Malone Town House.
Available exclusive to Harrods from October 2016; jomalone.com
Clarins, £95
One for the mums, behind each window of the Clarins calendar lies a skincare hero or make-up classic from the brand. Our picks of the bunch are the Beauty Flash Balm, the Instant Eye Make-up Remover and the Instant Light Radiance Boosting Complexion Base.

L’Occitane, £42
If you’re looking to get your hands on this particular calendar, make sure you get in early as it often sells out before December. Think of it as the perfect way to try out all of the brand’s gorgeous Provencal smellies before investing any full size products.
