    Hey guys! I was so frustrated with this calendar I forgot to do the vale breakdown! Let me know what you think of this one! Love ya💖 P.S. I missed editing out a portion of the video so there is awakes few second of me just slowly putting a box back into the calendar😂 sorry about that!

      @edithhuelskamp1649 4 місяці тому +116

      Yes, I watched another youtuber (I can't remember her name) who also opened this calender. She is a fan of the brand and was familiar with shopping in the stores. She was disgusted with the collection too, especially since about half of it was actually free samples in store.
      It was also very rude to not even give the lipstick fill the day after the case. If they insisted on being so cheap to separate it into two days, they could have at least been on consecutive days.
      I feel it really speaks to how low class and cheap this "luxury" brand actually is.

    Broken, mangled product isn't cool regardless of price point. I'd exchange a lipstick in that condition even if it came from Target. Of course accidents happen, but with so many broken products in one calendar, they're definitely cheaping out at the manufacturing and packaging levels.

    • @Happytravellerkimmy
      @Happytravellerkimmy 4 місяці тому +25

      Agreed. Harrods managed to make sure their advent calendar didn't have a bunch of mangled crap in it and it came all the way from England. This calendar felt like a brand that actively loathes its customers.

    I was having an awful day. Went to the dentist, who fixed a tooth and took all my money. Got home, collapsed on the sofa for literal HOURS, and did not have the spoons necessary to go to choir - which is my ONE weekly scheduled free time activity that I really love to do.
    Then you uploaded this. I had already watched Lauren May Beauty unbox this calendar, so when I saw that YOU were doing it, I literally gasped and clicked on it immediately.
    Thanks to your suffering through this, I finally got up from the sofa, got myself some food and a cup of coffee (caffeine free), and sat upright and smiled and ate and watched.
    Finally. After HOURS of ADHD mental/emotional fatigue induced paralysis, I was re-animated. Brought back to life.
    Thanks to you, Alexandria.
    Thank you, most sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, for your sacrifice.
    PS: You should 100% reach out to customer service about all the literally damaged perfume bottles and the lipstick!!!!

    PLEASE reach out to customer service ESPECIALLY since you have the whole unboxing recorded to prove what you are saying, and see what they offer you to fix things. I would REALLY like to know what their customer service is like and if they will replace what is broken and messed up etc etc I think it would truly be valuable for all of us to know what they say and how the return/replacement process goes. If they are willing to fix the things that are broken, while still being a hassle at least they stand behind their brand and we will kjowif we do purchase from them in the future at least they will fix it.
    Cherry Wallis bought the really expensive Disney swarovski crystal calendar this year and she had some issues with some stuff being printed incorrectly and she reached out to them and it took so long for them to get back to her that she just wanted the refund at that point instead of replacements. They took so long to get back to her though that she was almost out of the refund window...

    Alexandria can I say thank you so much for doing these
    My son who became a single day last summer was looking for stuff for his 16 year old daughter and of course his lady friends were telling him to get her one of these . I told him not this year let me watch "my girl" lol and will let him know .
    He was thinking this one just to make Christmas extra special I'm so glad I talked him out of it .....next year him and I will go through all these videos and he will be able to pick her the perfect one
    Much love Ontario, Canada🇨🇦🍁

      I'm so sorry for the loss of your DIL, Darlene. SO smart to verify what Alexandria shows before having your son purchase this ($600.00!?).
      I LOVE watching the videos, but just CANNOT bring myself to actually buy a single one of the calendars they sell. Ultimately it would be better for your son to make his own daily surprise boxes for his daughter, in my opinion.

    You know that moment in How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the jim carey one) where he is being forced to try all that pudding or fudge or whatever, and he is making that face and saying no while they shove more pudding or fudge in his mouth? You at 29:44 just brought me to that movie only you are begging them to stop with the perfume. lolol (not laughing at you at all, just the circumstance) I love your channel
    I am very sorry this box was as bad as it was. It really is a shame that these luxury companies are so out of touch that they think these advent calendars were their gifts to human kind.

    I totally agree with you. The only good thing I could think of was you didn't get "sample not for resale". That said, the quality was awful. That one lipstick looked liked it was chewed or clawed by something. I do enjoy watching Tater and Wren in the background all warm and cozy. Wren using Tater as a pillow was precious and everytime you got frustrated Wren's head popped up to make sure Mamma was okay. So precious! Thanks for doing these expensive calendars for us so we know what not to buy. Unfortunately, you had to pay an outrageous price for products that were far from luxury. Take care!

    @radlee974 4 місяці тому +5

    Yeah… for some reason I actually watched another channel open up this same Advent Calendar back in December.
    (I say “for some reason” because, generally speaking, 99.9% of my Advent Calendar unboxing video content is consumed on your channel. The other channel that I watched this through must’ve had an incredibly alluring thumbnail/title for me to have watched it there instead of waiting to see if Louboutin was a part of your Advent-Calendar-A-Thon. lol. 🤷🏼)
    _Anyway,_ as soon as I saw that it was the Louboutin Advent Calendar’s time to… eh… “shine” (For lack of a MUCH better word.), I knew that we were in for *quite* the ride! (Well, really just _you_ were the one in for a ride and we just get to watch! lol.)
    Now when it comes to the issues with this Advent Calendar, you absolutely *NAILED* Every. Single. Criticism. *FOR $600* not a damn thing should be broken. Let alone *multiple* items. *FOR $600* there shouldn’t even be *one* damn _vial_ of perfume, let alone… you got, what… like _8 to 10_ of them?! Jesus lover. How freaking ridiculous! *FOR $600,* every damn one of them should be one of those adorable, miniature bottles FOR SURE - FOR SURE! *FOR $600,* again you were 100% correct, that that first “lipstick case” should *absolutely* already come with some damn lipstick with/in it, followed by a couple of refills (For real this time!) later on in the Calendar. Oh, and last but CERTAINLY not least, *FOR $600,* if they _insist_ on putting a damn keychain in the Calendar, they sure as hell shouldn’t be splitting the charms up into 4 different boxes/days! That’s absolutely RIDICULOUS!!
    Now, while we’ve all _certainly_ seen worse Advent Calendars over the years, this Louboutin one is still pretty damn close to being straight up trash. And a HUGE reason for that being the case is because it’s *600 DAMN DOLLARS!!!* It is just SOOOO wild to me that pretty much EVERY DAMN “Luxury Advent Calendar” is shit! I guess rich people just _really_ love wasting their money! lol.
