Availability: It's live!

Price: How much is Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar? It's £260 for £1,205 with of products. Impressive.

Number of Products: 28

What's inside The Liberty London Advent Calendar: Unsurprisingly, it's a goodie. The Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar contains 28 products, most of which are full-sized. Thus far we've spied Bibbi Fragrances, Sunday Riley, Byredo and Augustinus Bader. Gold-standard brands, indeed. There's also a select number of golden tickets worth £1,000 to be found.

Beauty editor Rachael Martin says: 'The Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar is always a winner in my eyes - it's consistently guaranteed to be bursting with products from a mixture of exciting brands. I love that there's always a balance of niche, new products and cult classics to satisfy the needs of every beauty buff. The packaging is always iconic too - it's become a Christmas decoration in itself at this point! In terms of my favourite product it's got to be Augustinus Bader's The Rich Cream- it's a glow-giving delight that will make anyone's day. Trust me when we say it would be worth the splurge alone. As ever, this one will sell out, so it's important to sign up to the wait list, pronto.'

While they always make waves for their various beauty boxes, there's no mistaking that the most iconic launch of the year goes to the LookFantastic Beauty Advent calendar - it sells out promptly year after year.

Price: £100 (for £565 worth of products)

What's inside The Look Fantastic Advent Calendar: Expect £565 worth of beauty treats including the Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Perfume Mist, the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum and the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream. What a trio to start us off.  

Beauty editor Rachael Martin Beauty says: 'When the brand have an embargo on what's in its beauty advent calendar you can bet it's good. Now that we know exactly what's in it I think this could be their best box ever?! A big claim, I know. There's top brands across skincare, haircare and make-up that have form for going viral. While I'd be tempted to keep them for myself (obviously) they could easily make for excellent stocking fillers. Think Sol de Janeiro and Medik8 for starters.'

Not only does the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar contain a seriously impressive 40 products (19 of which are full size) but there's also two editions of the sought-after calendar to keep your eyes peeled for— Curated with Love and Scent with Love. Watch this space for more info.

What's Inside The Cult Beauty Advent Calendar: There's some big brands in there - think Augustinus Bader, Summer Fridays and Saie.

Beauty editor Rachael Martin says: 'I've already received a sample of the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar - and trust me when I say this is the best yet. Some of the drawers contain two or three products and nothing feels like a "filler." I'm conscious of spoiling things (the joy is in the surprise after all) but I will say that this is a carefully curated edit that you'll absolutely want to use. One product in particular worth shouting about is the full sized Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand in the shade Pink Pop - think the most gorgeous, glow-laden sugary pink sheen suited to all skin tones. And I also love the inclusion of Color Wow, 111Skin, Ceremonia and Jo Loves. This is excellent value for money - and a great beauty advent calendar to gift. '

Now this is one you won't want to miss out on. Explore the magical world of Charlotte Tilbury make-up with this exclusive, heart shaped advent calendar. It features a few of Charlotte's make-up heroes, as well as skincare icons that'll help you glow brighter than a Christmas tree.

Beauty editor Rachael Martin says: 'One for the beauty aficionado– this one is going right to the top of my wish list. Not only does it feel and look luxurious (the box alone is a glittering delight), but trust me when I say there’s something magical behind each and every door. I’m keen not to give too much of the game away (the joy is in the surprise, after all) but I’ll share some of my favourites. There's a full-sized Beauty Light Wand in the shade Pinkgasm - the ultimate pearlescent pink highlighter. Other stand-outs include a full-sized Hyaluronic Happikiss in the shade Pillow Talk (the perfect rosy-hue_ and a full-sized Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir to lock in moisture. My only gripe? Waiting until Christmas day to peek behind each and every door - it’s going to be a tough one.'

The offerings have been such a hit with fans over the past few years that they've launched several including a hair and bodyadvent calendar (£99 for £310 worth of products) which is already raking up an impressive waitlist online. Unsurprisingly, it's the Beauty Advent Calendar which has really impressed us on the beauty desk. Priced at £250 but brimming with £1599 worth of products believe me when I say there's an impressive edit of luxury brands not to be missed. One of my personal favourites is the Hourglass Unlocked Mascara – just a few wiggles through lashes is all it takes to see a noticeable difference in volume and length.'

The full line-up is dizzyingly good. If you can't resist a sneak peek? Then just know there's a full-sized Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, a Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm and a Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask, which, I'm sure, are likely to sway you already.

We always ensure to have a broad range of brands, from cult classics like Liz Earle to those that are new and emerging like Kash. A mesh of your tried and tested favourites and exciting newness personally approved by us? Think of it as the perfect excuse for beauty aficionados to remain in-the-loop. I adore the full-sized Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser which is a must-have. The nourishing formula is multi-award winning for a reason. It melts away make-up and adds an intense hit of hydration. And a reminder of the excellent value for money, too. Each beauty box is worth at least £200, which, if we do say so ourselves, is excellent value for money.'

Sisley’s second Advent Calendar is here - and it's as stunning as you'd expect. That said, the price has increased from £595 to £640 this year, so we're expecting big things. And going by packaging alone - we can expect just that.

Inside this beauty advent calendar you’ll find a generous collection of products, including best sellers from Sisley and Hair Rituel by Sisley in full size, travel and miniatures. Glowing skin and glossy hair? Yes please.

Beauty editor Rachael Martin says: 'There's no denying this is something of a heavy weight - both in terms of price and in terms of product offering. Firstly, it's beautiful. It's ornately decorated with the British artist Fee Greening's signature style - think beautifully intricate pen and ink drawings. Put simply, it's obvious it's the epitome of luxury from the packaging alone. Dreamy. But back to the good stuff - what's behind those 25 doors. If you're a dedicated Sisley fan I'd say it couldn't get much better than this edit. Of course, there's Sisley's iconic Black Rose Mask (which is known as something of a skincare cult classic) but there's also offerings from Sisley's more premium ranges Sisleÿa and Supremÿa. It's a great excuse to try something new.'

What's Inside The Anthropologie Beauty Advent Calendar: It's brimming with 24 gorgeous beauty and wellness treats to ensure you're Christmas ready.

Beauty editor Rachael Martin says: 'I loved Anthropologie's Beauty Advent Calendar last year - it was the perfect blend of treats and featured the likes of Palette London, Herlum, Dreem Distillery, STORIES and so much more. While it may be £10 more expensive this year, it's looking like they've upped the ante - thus far we know there's L'Occitane, MALIN+GOETZ, Sunday Riley and Anastasia Beverly Hills. And although the packaging isn't traditionally festive, it is a delight in all it's quirky, pink toned glory. I'd expect nothing less lovely.'

Beauty editor Rachael Martin says: 'This is a solid advent calendar option and makes for the perfect gift. In terms of favourite products? This may sound surprising, but Ted Baker's sheet masks are a force to be reckoned with. I leave mine on for around 15-20 minutes then gently peel it off before massaging any excess into my complexion and let it sink in. It's really lovely for aiding the glow before a night out and the compliments will come rolling in.'

A couple of my favourites include the Nuxe Very Rose 3-In-1 Soothing Micellar Water (nourishing and calming) and the Nuxe Prodigieux Néroli Relaxing Scented Shower (the ultimate pick me up!)
