The Beauty Advent Calendars Are Out


Beauty Advent Calendars are always sold in limited quantities, and they launch in autumn 3 months prior to Christmas. Liberty London, the Holy Grail of calendars, comes out in October, selling out within days. So hyped is the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar, after it's gone some customers sell their empty Liberty boxes on eBay ... yes, an empty box!

Frankly, I don't have the patience, nor wish to pay the piper for such Limited Luxe Editions marketed by high-end retailers to create demand and company buzz. Instead of joining the flock, I can find equally winning splurges for less moola and be happy! Still, they make nice gifts!

The following are 5 lovely 2021 Advent Calendars already out. They, too, will sell out by December, so wannabe buyers must grab them now:

5) Charotte's Beauty Dreams & Secrets Beauty Advent Calendar - Every year I'm on the fence about recommending the Charlotte Tilbury advent calendar. Love the makeup, but is the calendar worth it? Or should you just splurge on lipstick and/or favorite full-sized items? Definitely a luxe gift, but for the price, why only 12 products and travel sizes? Not the best value, readers, compared to its competitors. Nonetheless, just like many luxe advent calendars, it will sell out by December. It contains:

- Hollywood Beauty Light Wand Spotlight FULL SIZE
- Chameleon Eyeshadow Pencil in Pillow Talk FULL SIZE
- Matte Revolution Lipstick – Medium Pillow Talk FULL SIZE
- Multi Miracle Glow 15ml TRAVEL SIZE
- Goddess Skin Clay Mask 15ml TRAVEL SIZE
- Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir 8ml TRAVEL SIZE
- Charlotte’s Magic Cream 15ml TRAVEL SIZE
- Wonderglow 15ml TRAVEL SIZE
- Walk of No Shame Eyeliner TRAVEL SIZE
- Legendary Lashes Volume 2 Mascara TRAVEL SIZE
- Lip Cheat Pillow Talk Medium TRAVEL SIZE
- Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray TRAVEL SIZE

How crazy to think about buying Christmas gifts in September, yet every year Advent Calendars sell out months before Christmas, so it's never too early to peruse them. (Newscasters warn in 2021 there will be shortages of goods across categories, so do your holiday shopping early.) Just for fun, look for the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar in early October ... said to be the company's fastest-selling product in its 145-year history. For the luxe price, at least they don't skimp you on products! The following are niche beauty brands customers will find inside this year's festive box:

Update
: The Liberty London calendar is 
available when the clock strikes midnight on October 6th. Here.

Extra tips: Sometimes Beauty Advent Calendars in the $24 range end up at T.J. Maxx. Not Liberty London, but I see Crabtree & Evelyn, The Body Shop, and Ole Henrikson. Also at a great value, Macy's Beauty Advent Calendar is spectacular. Staller skincare or makeup at budget-friendly price points!

  1. Oh my stars! It is Advent Calendar time again!! We can all dream of a Liberty one, but my pick today is the Rituals Advent Calendar, totally because of the packing. The little red houses and Christmas trees really say 'Christmas!'. Always fun to look, thank you for choosing them Debbie.

    1. I love Rituals too as I'm very fond of essential oils scented beauty products. What great publicity for the retailers that everybody wants their calendars! Some bloggers are gifted the Liberty calendars and why, Trish, oh why aren't we on the list? :)
