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
Am I the only one that LOVES deluxe sample size makeup? Especially lipstick, I rarely use even half a full size item before it expires and it seems so wasteful!
I mean same but expiration date on makeup is ignored by me 🙈i do not see the date so I'll use it till its gone...I know that's bad but if I'm spending 25-35 on a lipstick or mascara I'm using it Unless they separate or smell bad or are very clearly time to toss
I love watching your channel I'm disabled, and even before we had this pandemic, I was staying home all of the time, trying to learn what my life was gonna be like now that I'm in a wheelchair full time and I'm a lot older than you, but I will say that you have helped me more than you could possibly understand you make me laugh, I can't wait to watch your videos and I learned how to make my makeup look even better and I get compliments when I go out, thank you so much for making an older woman laugh, especially one who is in a wheelchair now and stays home all the time. I truly do appreciate you, your humor, the way you treat people you can tell you have a great heart and an old soul.. Thank you for making my life a little brighter...
I’m torn on this one. It’s good but it’s expensive. All these brands need to start putting a lot more full size products in these calendars. If I knew what was in them, I don’t think I would pay that much for it 🤷🏻♀️
Right! Honestly I think the best ones for the value are the ones from Target this year. They say everything that’s in it on the back which is nice and it seems like they all have popular products and things that you could actually use
I'd love to see a picture of all of the items together at the end - especially when you're talking about value. I think it would help me get a better idea of what you're really getting for the money without the packaging.
$18 for an eyeshadow pot?!? Damn!! Are they even worth that? I know Mac was all the rage back in the day but is it still? I've also read that their quality has gone downhill in the past few years. Never bought anything from them but I do have their BB cream. It was my moms. Seeing how it's the only BB cream I've ever used I'm not sure if it's actually good. Hope that made sense, lol...
@@tammiemartinez6485 that's pretty standard price for a single. Not a lot of brands have them, and the ones that do are around the same price (urban decay and Lancome's are $22, nars are $19, abh are $12 but they are ment to be put in a palette)
THE KEYCHAIN 😂😭 I'm still haunted. The fact that the bar has been on the floor for so long that we're shocked when full size items are involved 👁️👄👁️ it's a step in the right direction, MAC.
Me too. For some reason these calendars aren’t a thing in my country, even though we have all the brands and companies that make them and the chocolate ones have always been around, but I watch every single one!
I always thought the point of the Advent Calendar was to get the best thing on the final day but that never seems to be the case with these! Seems like the companies mostly just try to get rid of old product and samples and make a profit on it 😒
Right? You'd think! Someone on another video pointed out that the best things are probably closer to day 1 bc if someone gave you this as a gift, if you opened one in front of them, it should look worth it to everyone involved bc you're probably not gonna call grandma or auntie 11 days later when the things aren't so great. Manipulative!
It was nice that they also included many more traditional colors as well- from watching all your unboxings a lot of the brands like to dump the awkward colors in their advents lol
Really loving all these videos! I have to say Huda has been the one i actually liked the most. Not a huge fan of her...but worth the 100$ because her products are usually expensive and they were all full size...except one.
I just like gloss lol stickiness never has bothered me but I don't actively seek out sticky gloss. That being said though if a gloss happens to be sticky I don't mind it at all.
Ugh I hate it. I have long blond hair and one gust of wind ruins everything. The feeling of having to peel of a strand of hair from your lips...bweuuk and then have that strand be the colour of your gloss for the rest of the day...
And they took off The West Wing!!!! The greatest show of all time. That and Friends were the two shows I would watch when I didn't know what to watch, and they're both gone.
I know I've never really commented but just wanted to say Thank you! Since 2017 life has been rough from losing my son, being diagnosed with cancer, husband walking out on me & the kids, losing our home, having to have part of my colon removed & having an ileostomy placed, being diagnosed with gastroparesis, then losing my Dad. During all of this I could come on here turn on your videos and be able to just kinda forget the pain for just a bit and today caught myself smiling. You are just so genuine, quirky ( in a good way), fun, and altogether just a beautiful person. Thank you for the time you take to make these videos. I may never really comment but I'm always watching ❤️ Hope you have a very Merry Christmas & Blessed New year!
Love you Alexandria! You’re videos have been helping me through this pandemic, thank you for giving me hope for tomorrow and making me laugh. 💜💜💜 I hope you are well!
I've been home taking care of my mom this week. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in March, and this round of chemo is making her really sick. It's been hard, but these videos have given me something to look forward to each evening. I can't tell you how much they're helping me
I've never been this early. I absolutely love your channel it always makes my day so much better. Thank you for staying true to who you are. Your personality is everything
If I was making an advent calendar that had full size and minis, I would sprinkle the full sized things through it so it’s more of a happy surprise than something that gets your expectations up.
Love you Alexandria. The only lip shade that might look ok on my dark skin tone without the use of lipliners and trickery is Diva. I wish these advent calendars were more inclusive. Mac was my 1st fancy makeup purchase as well.
Hello gorgeous, so nice of you to pop up on my screen again today. Lord knows we can't get enough of you. You've just got a personality that resonates with soo many of us, it's like having our best friend or sister pop in to brighten our day. We LOVE ya girl!! Holy moly you got a Mac advent calendar?? I may or may not have commented before watching or reading the video Bahahaha
You make my day every time I see you’ve uploaded. No matter what is happening in life your quirky self always puts a smile on my face. If not a full on LOL! Much love 🤍
The fact that you were blown away by the few full sized items just tells you how low of a bar these Advent Calendars have been. Glad you at least got somewhat of a win with this one.
I love watching these unboxings, thanks for sharing what a rip off they are. You would think brands would at least want to give a full face of items so you could really try out their products and theoretically fall in love and want to run out and buy the full size, but no lipstick and lipgloss seem to be the theme. Not very smart marketing for sure! Great job and I love that you are always so authentic! Have a wonderful holiday!
A *drop* of Strobe Cream + 1-2 pumps of matte foundation can be a game changer for normal/dry or combo skin ladies! It doesn't become a radiant foundation at all but it can give you a beautiful matte glow!! 🙌
Wow, I can't believe this actually got me excited about makeup and MAC again! I'd use all of it (except the stinky lip glass), and that black shadow was my go to in the 90s, lol. It would have been nice to get a lip liner, but overall, not bad! I know you do these calendars because your a huge UA-cam beauty guru, but I always wait until after Christmas if I want an advant calender, because they immediately go down to half price.
This calendar and the Huda one both give me hope for the future. Its nice to know some of these calendars are actually worth it and im good with a little less of an added value if I'm actually gunna use a higher percentage of the items.
I legit relate to you more than anyone on yt. It's so nice to know I'm not the only disaster on this planet🤣 everything I touch i drop, too! I hope you and everyone else has the very happiest of holidays 💖
Your video came out right as I went on break! Praise the Lord. That diva lip stick was calling my name! Thanks alexandria for yet another amazing video. Have a Merry Christmas!
I enjoy your videos so much and when I found out I had missed some advent calendars, I started binge watching them (If you can call watching 4 in a row a binge). Before long my husband was watching too and complaining about the products. Sephora got a big boo.
this mac calendar was super good! idm minis of lipsticks at all because you can still use them a lot of times before its gone, which cannot be said for the tiny bottles of primer or shower jellies in other calendars 🙄
lip glass are supposed to smell lip glossy like vanilla ish, you should contact mac for a replacement on the next to last one as if it smells like playdough and is separating it's definitely expired ❤️ glad to see mac actually put some effort into this calender! woo!!
5 full-size products is pretty good for an advent calendar. That's just under $100 worth of product right there, plus the 3 travel-size lipglosses retail for $12 each, and then all those minis are just a bonus -- but I think they're a pretty good bonus, since you probably wouldn't use up a full-size lipstick anyway, and the minis give you a lot of product. The big issue, of course, is that you have to like all of the products for it to be a good value.
@@summer4187 If you look for value, the full sized lipsticks are better. The mini's are quite expensive for the amount you get (or atleast here in The Netherlands) in comparison to the full sized ones
I really love the Huda Beauty Calendar a lot. Expensive $175.00! But almost all the products are full size. Hope you enjoy the Skincare! I have heard amazing reviews about it. Mac is expensive for what you received! Great videos!

I think they should have swapped the full sized items to the end of the calendar
Spent all day bingeing on your advent calendar vids… just cause🤓. Love ❤ this lady🤗💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Completely agree with you.
Alex: “It’s probably gonna be a bunch of samples and deluxe samples.”
MAC on day one: “Hold my drink....”
MAC on Day 3: "Give me my drink back."
@@FoxtrotMouse on point! Lol
@@FoxtrotMouse LOL!
Am I the only one that LOVES deluxe sample size makeup? Especially lipstick, I rarely use even half a full size item before it expires and it seems so wasteful!
I agree! I love tiny lipsticks! Not only are they super cute, but they’re perfect for somebody like me who only wears lipstick on rare occasions 🙌🏼
also tiny mascaras!!! i never use mascara within 3 months!!!!
I mean same but expiration date on makeup is ignored by me 🙈i do not see the date so I'll use it till its gone...I know that's bad but if I'm spending 25-35 on a lipstick or mascara I'm using it

Yeah, but im not purchasing deluxe samples for 100 dollars lol.

Yes, but it was A KEYCHAIN.
@@daan8695 iconic. 😂😂
I know associate Mac's advant calandars to Alexandria whispering that...lol
Hahahha
And the its pin!!
Mac has a huge line. I feel like they shouldn’t give you three items over and over, just in different shades, in a $100 advent calendar.
I'd love to see a picture of all of the items together at the end - especially when you're talking about value. I think it would help me get a better idea of what you're really getting for the money without the packaging.
Full size lipstick $19
Travel size lip products $12 each.
Eye shadow pots $18 each
Cost of Strobe- Free?
Off topic but your profile pic is adorable. I have a tuxie and she’s my world.
It's a great idea. Seeing the full amount of products together really helps you determine if it's a decent value.
$18 for an eyeshadow pot?!? Damn!! Are they even worth that? I know Mac was all the rage back in the day but is it still? I've also read that their quality has gone downhill in the past few years.

Okay advent season should be 2 months long imo! I'm loving the content!
Yes!
The red lipstick you are wearing is STUNNING! Your perfect shade of red, I can't get over it.
What lipstick is she wearing ?
I love there’s still eyeliner on the back of your hand at the start 😂🤣
lol its a VERY strong eyeliner!!
I ended up returning that Huda eyeliner because it was SO HARD TO REMOVE! I usually have the opposite problem due to hooded lids.
@@lydiabarry6796 I wonder if it comes in brown? I can never find make up that stays on but black is too harsh for me
It’s almost a tradition for me to watch these after Christmas calms down.
I live vicariously through your calendars as I don’t think I’ll ever spend the money on one.
Me too. For some reason these calendars aren’t a thing in my country, even though we have all the brands and companies that make them and the chocolate ones have always been around, but I watch every single one!
I'm loving these daily postings!
Im so glad you like them!
crocheting last minute Christmas gifts while binging all the Advent videos
They should add a blush or highlighter. Even I small one would me nice.
The MAC lipsticks have always looked like tiny vibrators to me.
Look, we all know it's true...but it's been a silent agreement to never mention it.
😂😂😂 so true
They look exactly like this one brand of tampons in australia. Only huge...
Oh my god, I thought I was the only one. The funny thing is that the definition of the shape has always been «lipstick bullet». I mean....😅
I always thought the point of the Advent Calendar was to get the best thing on the final day but that never seems to be the case with these! Seems like the companies mostly just try to get rid of old product and samples and make a profit on it 😒

She opens them backwards. Your supposed to start at the highest number and work down. Its a countdown to Christmas so 12 days before you start to open
@@cassinightmare7186 that's definitely not true, almost NO advent calendars are made to be opened counting down.
Parks and Rec is on Amazon Prime (well in Canada anyways).
When things smell like play-doh it means it has gone bad. Do not use.
Thank goodness for VPNs
It was nice that they also included many more traditional colors as well- from watching all your unboxings a lot of the brands like to dump the awkward colors in their advents lol
I've heard when lip products smell like old/bad playdoh it means they're expired...

@@ibreatheair6313 Now that you mention it. That makes perfect sense since both products usually have wax in them.

@@Elise_Ruppert77 Agreed!
Just wanted to say I’ve looked forward to these calendars every night after long days at work and they help me push through!!!
I would take that one gloss into MAC and be like "SMELL THIS!" It's not supposed to split on your skin or smell like that.
They are also taking The Office off of Netflix on New Year's Eve. Which was my go to show for comfort that I watched every season like 12 times
I think you can buy digital copies on vudu
Thank you for the heads up!
I am so bummed about this and frantically trying to watch the rest!
It's going to be on the peacock app (same with parks and rec). I think you have a few seasons free and have to pay to watch all of them though
And they took off The West Wing!!!! The greatest show of all time. That and Friends were the two shows I would watch when I didn't know what to watch, and they're both gone.
The packaging kinda looks like the laughing cow cheese 😂
It feels like a lot of these companies use their advent calendars to get rid of old stock/ less popular products and colours🤔 maybe I'm wrong though😂🤷
I agree. It's common for companies to do that.
with these macs shades, most are their best selling shades and have been cult classics in early beauty UA-cam days.
I used to work at MAC and most of these colors are hallmarks of the brand- staples we would sell through in high volume.
This is one of the better calendars you've opened this year! I love the first lipstick you received! One of my favorites.
That shade of red looks amazing on you! Stunning.
I'm so addicted to your advent calendar videos. I could watch these all day long
I love it when you flick the number off the letter board in the beginning. I feel like it represents the whole advent series perfectly. 😂
"I don't want my mouth smellin like garbage all day" 😂😂

I've been home taking care of my mom this week. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in March, and this round of chemo is making her really sick. It's been hard, but these videos have given me something to look forward to each evening. I can't tell you how much they're helping me

I can’t with the way she tosses the slices. I love it 🤣👍
You taking the numbers on and off at the beginning of the videos gives me life
thank you for blessing us with your presence this holiday season c:
Color! And, actual makeup. I'm kinda impressed with this advent calendar.
I like that the full size is in a color most would wear, while the smaller ones are more bold colors that are not worn often.. def worth the money.😋
I think you should definitely contact Mac about the stinky lip gloss.
This series is getting me through the rough and lonely holidays this year. Thanks for that Alex! 🖤🖤🖤
Somehow stumbled upon your advent calendars a few years ago and oh man this time of year is gold!
I think this was a pretty decent calendar, all things considered. Mini lipsticks for the crazier lipstick colors is kind of nice, IMO.
I agree. With the "statement shades, I would rather have smaller sizes.
MUCH better than last year. Glad they realized how peeved ppl were with 2019's calender. Still expensive though. Can't have it all, I suppose

The mini lipsticks cost £10. I wish they sold mini foundation's/concealers and made a skin themed calender :)
I love this one! So much better than last year! The minis from MAC always last forever for me.
Same I love parks and rec and was so sad 😭 when they took it off along with friends
The 24-day MAC calendar for 2020 was essentially the same mix of products as 2019, but with different shades. And yes, there was a keychain!
I really love the Huda Beauty Calendar a lot. Expensive $175.00! But almost all the products are full size. Hope you enjoy the Skincare! I have heard amazing reviews about it. Mac is expensive for what you received! Great videos!
At least there were some full size ítems inside. Other advent calendars should take note.
Not the best calendar, but DEFINITELY not the worst * cough, cough, too faced, cough sephora *
