This was my first Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar and what a treat it was. The vast amount of premium brands is unreal with so many I had been for years wanting to try. I am always the first to shy away when it comes to paying the high price for particular brands, especially as my skin is so temperamental. One of the (MANY) reasons why I have loved this calendar is partially due to finally being able to try these brands without the price tag, and although you're probably thinking, 'Um hun, you paid £175 for the calendar.' just think about it for a second. You're getting 25 premium brands that usually come with the price tag of between £40-£50 all for £175. Now, I cannot hide it from you I was VERY lucky to receive it for my birthday from my wonderful boyfriend but still! If you're a massive beauty lover like myself I would totally recommend purchasing next years although don't delay! This calendar sold out in 24 hours of going live online and within 3 days in store! Set your alarms girls!!
Now, onto the bit, you're all waiting for... what was inside!

A slight mishap on their behalf as they sent me the colour 'Peacemaker' yet on my 'Reasons to love me' card it says, 'Influencer'. Never mind it's still a gorgeous colour.

Is the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar worth buying? YES, YES a hundred times yes! There is not a single product I will not use and although I've only tried a few to start with, I will certainly be using them all. The size of the miniatures is also incredibly generous.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the calendar itself- it's ginormous and the pattern is truly stunning, not to forget it's a rarity in the advent world as you receive 25 doors instead of the usual 24.
My absolute favourites (that I've actually sampled) are the Aveda Volumizing Tonic, Hourglass Girl Lip Stylo, Malin + Goetz Lip Moisturiser (I'm obsessed! It's on my Christmas wish list already!), Aromatherapy Associates Revive (smells divine), Liberty London Small Washbag, NARS Orgasm Blush (although I haven't used it yet, I've wanted it for years yay!), Diptyque Pomander Candle (I was so beyond pleased to get a Diptyque candle- saving it for next Christmas), and lastly I have come to adore the Le Labo Thé Noir fragrance! I cannot wait to tuck into the other goodies!
