    Hey guys! This calendar is an interesting one! I was sooo happy to get a few full size things and a lot of makeup! However, I do realize that I shouldn’t be so blown away by getting a full size item because you pay A LOT for these calendars and the least they can do is put one full size lipstick in them! Let me know what you think about this one! Love ya💖

      I don't understand why companies don't realize that the total value of the box decreases with samples. The last couple of boxes you opened had a significantly lower value! Why don't they realize this decreases trust!! I'm happy mac stepped it up a little this year ☺️ love your videos

    Its just BARELY worth the price imo. That hand full of full size products makes it hit the $100 mark. But it would only be worth it if you were someone who would actually enjoy and use the full size products that were included. I don't like sticky glosses. I would rather have full size lipsticks and delux sample glosses or a full size of that primer and a sample of that mascara. But at least they didn't repeat and give seven different primers. Those are just some nit picky things.
    Honestly they did good compared to other brands AND the colors all seemed to be relatively universal for fair to deeper skin tones. This is a good calendar in that sense.

    My mom works at a lab. She told me that if my makeup (most likely lipsticks and lip glosses) smells like playdoh, then the formula is usually expired and the oils in the ingredients are bad. Not saying that your lipsticks are bad but I just wanted to say this for anyone to know!

  • @auntkaz422
    @auntkaz422 3 роки тому +1

    I always think the last item should be extra special. The full sized lip stick should have been the last item in my opinion. Although this one is not bad as far as makeup Advent calendars go, I don't think the companies putting these calendars together "get" the spirit of the things. Its all about celebration, value and impressing your customer. Done correctly, the customer finds new products and becomes a new customer (or is renewed in their committment to the brand). Coming off as cheap, making people feel like they paid good money for overstocked items that didn't sell, or filling the calendars with "junk" will not win or keep customers. Just sayin.

    Well I use to sell mac and those are technically "travel sizes" the bullets are worth $12 a piece the glosses $18 the full size $24 the individual eyeshadows are $18 as well and then mascara is $24...not justifying the prices cause mac isn't that affordable even outside of an advent calendar but if your a mac fan it's a good deal

    Mac had on sale a lipstick set of 5 colours said to be worth £95, but rrp was £55. It was on sale for £18.50. Imagine how much of a markup they must have if they can still make a profit at £18.50.
