Imagine someone's mom on a budget... wanting to spend a little extra to spoil her little beauty guru daughter and only being able to afford this at sephora and after opening it... realizing she could've done better at Walmart in a gift pack For a quarter of this price.
I’ve found that the amazon calendars are pretty good. A little pricy but you get more than your money’s worth (this years for Australia is worth about 3.5 times the price). Also keep in mind they vary from country to country
I have to agree with you on that. I wasn’t very impressed by this one. But you stayed positive the hole way and that’s pretty awesome. I’m going to go watch another one... I literally love youu
Oh and I started watching you because of the other Sephora Advent Calendar! I remember I was looking for reviews of calendars that were sold in Mexico and found yours...decided to not buy that one and now I decided to not buy this one either, thank you for helping save some money ❤️
I just wanted to say, the first video I ever watched of yours was last years Sephora advent calendar, I cant believe that was a whole year ago! I'm so glad I discovered you, it's been awesome watching your channel and skills grow❤😊
At Sephora, I prefer buying the "Sephora Favorites" packages because like advent calendars you get nice products for a cheaper price. Sometimes for other companies, the advent calendars are a lot better than the packages but at Sephora it's more worth it to buy the packages. For the advent calendar your bascally paying for the extra packaging lmao.
Thanks for this review! Much appreciated! I was thinking of getting it but now I will not be. The Advent Calendar should include more makeup items. I think it needs more of variety of items. I get tired of same things. For the invisibobble hair ties you can always use a blow dryer instead of dropping it in hot water and it will go back to its normal size!
Vanessa Lopez I got theirs last year, is only 12 days but in my opinion is better that this one cause you actually get to try out different ulta makeup products. Im not sure if is out yet but definitely worth checking it out
It is out, i dont like that they show you exactly what you’ll get in the picture cause it ruins the surprise lol but here it is www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=pimprod2010718
Hi Vanessa, after watching you presenting the wonderful Looking Fantastic Advent calendar, Sephora’s was a BIG disappointment. Thank you for the great work showing us and saving us money! I enjoy your videos. Renata
I did a few different advent calendars last year... for myself and a friend... and I was very disappointed in all the cheap junk and tiny tiny little one use products. But I keep getting different subscription boxes, because I LOVE all the surprises and the great value, like the super expensive skin care, that I would never pay full price for.
U would think they would have a little more value to these calendar box's especially it's a chance for them to let people try there products idk it's ok I guess it's cute lol
Oh, I'm so disappionted :( I really like shopping at Sephora (they're kinda new for us in Sweden) and I have been eyeing their advent calendar for a while because I really liked the style and I've had such good luck with beauty advent calendars from other brands before... but yeah, I'm so glad I saw this video before I decided to buy the advent calendar. Thank you Vanessa for sharing
Is this geared for young teens? and maybe they could at least have had winter scents. Not worth the $$ especially when you can get most of it for a $1 a piece during the mix and match sales.
omg i wanted to get this but it was sold out..... blessing in disguise lol thank you for this video !! just subbed, excited to see more advent calendar unboxings! 💕
they released another one but its actually really good. its got stuff from too faced, huda beauty, fenty and even milk. they've got both full sized and minis.
Also I’d like to mention: just because the value of the calendar is more then what you paid doesn’t mean it’s a good-- or even decent deal! The reason: would you have bought those items anyways? If they were all on a discounted price to match the calendar value would you have bought them? It is only worth it if with the discounted price you would’ve bought that bundle.... and date I say that no one would’ve bought that bundle if they knew it came with sample body wash
I love Advent calendars. I do agree this was "mediocre" with the contents. I saw Elemis has one but it's out of my price range at $250. I think for that kind of money I would get something like the Aldi's wine Advent calendar. 😂 I would be interested in seeing others. Great video. I hope you're having a good day.
I'm brand new to your channel and I really enjoyed your energy and you seem very upbeat so I did subscribe...I would've been really upset with this calendar...you are a saint...I mean 45+ dollars that's a very nice pallet...it was super fun watching....I was so hoping when you opened the last few doors it would make it all worth your money 😏 Although I would purchase one if the money went to underprivileged children for food and gifts to make their Xmas special...but that's the only way....It was nice meeting you and I will see you in the next video...Big hugs Hydie 😉
My $20 target beauty box was amazing last year, came with relatively great sized products and such a variety, I got a mix of makeup, hair, and skincare.. SOOOO much better than this.. try it out if you haven’t already!
Can you do a advent calendars from home shopping network. Qvc or Hsn they both have beauty advent calendars. And thank you for your informative videos. I’m asking for one of these for one of my Christmas presents 🎁! Just hoping I will find better one than Sephora’s .
The only one that I've seen to be worse than this, was some italian cheapo brand. They had four discount coupons in their "24 items" calendar that didn't end up having 24 items because coupons.
I am so glad you did this calendar,I was going to buy it for my Daughter,but she would not have been impressed!!!! It looks to me like a lot of sample sizes!! Not worth 45$ to me!! Hugs
Love watching these Advent calendars. You do a good job with the opening pace, giving opinions & testing of the products. The Sephora Advent calendar looks like some guy in the warehouse looked for all the leftover testers and stuffed them in. Very overpriced for the quality. Maybe OK for a tween IF it cost $15. Red lip liner that doesn't match the lipstick? Watermelon lip balm seems like a summer leftover. Bah Humbug greedy Sephora👎
Back when I traveled for work, there were hotels that included a makeup wipe with the shampoo and conditioner soap basics. I think it's the Marriott that does that. But I'm not positive. Of course they also put a $4 bottle of Evian water in your room too, that if you drink it, they charge you for it at checkout. lol And yes. Tigger is the one who says who who whoo! Maybe you could put the mirror in one of those jewelry bags (the velvety kind) to protect it. Though that mirror is super tiny.
I love advent calenders! I remember when you unboxed the castle advent calender last year. This one was really similar. I love Sephora lip balms and masks,so those were nice but I wouldn't buy this for myself or an adult. A teenager yeah. The body company has an awesome advent calender. The largest one is the best and has a great value. The ornery lower priced ones were nice but not a big value. The largest one was basically as full size products too. I can't remember the exact price but it wad easily over a hundred bucks. But if your liking for an awesome advent calender that's the best one I've seen so far this year.
The only thing I really liked was the nail polish. I really don't understand the hair bobble things. What do those cost them wholesale, a penny each? Same with the nail file? Way to make me feel special, Sephora.
2018 looks more luxury and beauty packaging although things look so similar. And I had a very bad experience as I waited for over 2 months it stuck in their storehouse. Luckily it looks suck this year I can save money and time
Wow that was underwhelming! Good video, bad calendar! Would rather get myself a nice palette for that price... or get the Look Fantastic or GlossyBox one. Such a shame as Sephora could really use this to showcase their stuff!
I'm sorry but personally I really didn't like this one. It just seemed like they were getting rid of last year's stuff from that advent calendar. Also I just wanted to point out that Huda is pronounced like (Hoo-dah and not the way you're saying it Huu-dah) and I'm not picking on you or trying to disrespect you in any way at all. I am just pointing it out to you...thats all! So with that said..I just want to say that I love your videos and I'm a new subscriber now. Thank you for the great honest but informative video. 😘❤🌹💋💄
Imagine someone's mom on a budget... wanting to spend a little extra to spoil her little beauty guru daughter and only being able to afford this at sephora and after opening it... realizing she could've done better at Walmart in a gift pack For a quarter of this price.
Ikr
there’s a lot more u can buy at sephora for less than $50 lmao
Looks like Sephora didn’t learn their lesson last year 😬
Darkhottopic wdym?
@@asiasdenis last year was pretty terrible to the point they gave disposable wands lol
@@asiasdenis look up their advent calendar for last year. It was ridiculous and a complete joke. There was quite a bit of backlash.
No thanks. I’ll spend my 50 on stuff I actually want. They should make these things way worth it!!
That is a terrible calendar, The worst packaging and even worse contents, a hair bubble, nail file are you kidding Sephora.
TWO hair bubbles instead of one though, like getting one hair bubble inside the advent calendar isn't disappointing enough
Thanks for saving me from wasting $45 I'll keep watching to find one that's worth the money
I’ve found that the amazon calendars are pretty good. A little pricy but you get more than your money’s worth (this years for Australia is worth about 3.5 times the price). Also keep in mind they vary from country to country
Look fantastic and glossy box are good
I have to agree with you on that. I wasn’t very impressed by this one. But you stayed positive the hole way and that’s pretty awesome. I’m going to go watch another one... I literally love youu
I like how you tried to stay positive but it was like... nahhhh 😂
For what they be charging, you’d think they’d give better stuff ya
I can't even cope with this advent. My sighs were bigger than the products... 😂😂😭😭
"Its not terrible, but it's not the best"
Me: I'd rather have a 12 day advent calendar containing solely masks... for a fraction of the price
Why did more than half of these things look like free samples with the most expensive things being like $6 🤦♀️
The only good thing about this advent colander is the adorable penguin packaging. Although, I would wear the penguin pin.
Exactly the packaging is so cute. Also yes the penguin pin is adorable
I feel like this would be good for like a teenager/kid but def not an adult or for the price.
My teenagers wouldn’t be impressed at all, maybe my 10yr old. Then again I wouldn’t spend that much for samples for her.
this whole calendar looks like the toys you get out of the 99p magazines as a kid
Amy j I agree
ikr 💀🙄
This reminds me that I started following you last year because of your unboxings 😍
Ale Sotelo no wayyy that makes me so happy to hear!! 💕💕 🥰
Oh and I started watching you because of the other Sephora Advent Calendar! I remember I was looking for reviews of calendars that were sold in Mexico and found yours...decided to not buy that one and now I decided to not buy this one either, thank you for helping save some money ❤️
I starting watching on the advent calendar too.
I feel like these Advent Calendar videos are just “Ok! Let’s see: How am I gonna be disappointed again on day 14?”
Almost everything is just for one time use :O
I just wanted to say, the first video I ever watched of yours was last years Sephora advent calendar, I cant believe that was a whole year ago! I'm so glad I discovered you, it's been awesome watching your channel and skills grow❤😊
At Sephora, I prefer buying the "Sephora Favorites" packages because like advent calendars you get nice products for a cheaper price.

For the advent calendar your bascally paying for the extra packaging lmao.
i love that she's honest
I’m not paying 50 dollars for just samples which I can get free
Sephora has to rise its game, that’s awful
You look especially beautiful and glowing today! Thx for the review! I like your hair too it’s a nice look 👀
Marian Wiederrich thank you so much!!!💕💕
20 said "the giant gift" on it. We see that mirror was such a giant gift
Looks like Sephora’s garbage advent calendar, definitely a waste of money
The first and last were the 2 best. The liquid lip (#24) looked awesome on you!
and that's why the body shop ultimate calendar is the best :D
Thanks for this review! Much appreciated! I was thinking of getting it but now I will not be. The Advent Calendar should include more makeup items. I think it needs more of variety of items. I get tired of same things. For the invisibobble hair ties you can always use a blow dryer instead of dropping it in hot water and it will go back to its normal size!
Watermelon Gal The ulta advent calendar is 10000000 times better than this
Your hair just looks so good!! Great refresh :)
Jen Hernandez thank you!!🥰
I'm so glad I went with the Body Shop Advent Calendar.
That was awful Sephora lol.
Thank you for the video 😊
You have the most darling laugh haha
w tf thank you!🥰
hell, you could go to the dollar store and get 24 custom picks for half the price
Well, that was disappointing. 🤷🏼♀️
It’s normally $80 australian. after Christmas they go on sale half price
I love how honest she is! Subscribing right now 😋 ❤️🎄
Geeeeeez they definitely learned NOTHING from last year. What a rip off 🙄🙄
You should try to review Ulta’s advent calendar, i really enjoyed the one from last year
JMichelle oh man I had no idea ulta had a calendar imma look into that one right now thank you!!💕
Vanessa Lopez I got theirs last year, is only 12 days but in my opinion is better that this one cause you actually get to try out different ulta makeup products. Im not sure if is out yet but definitely worth checking it out

Thank you so much for showing us before we actually buy it 💖😫
First video I've seen of yours and I'm an instant subscriber!
Michigan Mommy yayyy that makes me so happy to hear!!!🥰❤️❤️
there is another sephora advent calender this year. its only makeup, but of course its a lot more expensive. search it up
Thanks for the review!!! Very helpful :) got last years will skip this one. Have a great day!!!
It just got worse and worse as you kept opening things
Isabelle Baker hahahaa I know, right?
No way this was worth $45. The glossybox calander is way better
Hi Vanessa, after watching you presenting the wonderful Looking Fantastic Advent calendar, Sephora’s was a BIG disappointment.
Thank you for the great work showing us and saving us money! I enjoy your videos.

But I keep getting different subscription boxes, because I LOVE all the surprises and the great value, like the super expensive skin care, that I would never pay full price for.
Who else watched the whole video then realized it was a half an hour 😂
I had this 2 years ago and I just wanted to see if it is still as bad. Edit: definitely a lot better now
Oh yeah! Dang so early but thank you for sharing love. 🥰 It's good to know this ahead of time.
Invincible Beauty right super early lol and of course I love doing these videos for you guys!!!!❤️❤️🥰
Terrible, Sephora should be ashamed to charge 40$ for that...smh
Jeannie Kartis sorry to make the news even worse, but it’s actually $45... 😩
$50 with tax 😭😭
U would think they would have a little more value to these calendar box's especially it's a chance for them to let people try there products idk it's ok I guess it's cute lol
I was at sephora a few days ago i almost bought it but i am happy that i didn't. Instead i bought a pallet and a brush set
Oh, I'm so disappionted :( I really like shopping at Sephora (they're kinda new for us in Sweden) and I have been eyeing their advent calendar for a while because I really liked the style and I've had such good luck with beauty advent calendars from other brands before... but yeah, I'm so glad I saw this video before I decided to buy the advent calendar. Thank you Vanessa for sharing
Could you please try the body shop advent calendar?☺️
Donna J yes fingers crossed it’s arriving this week so I’ll try to get that up ASAP when it does! 😊
Is this geared for young teens? and maybe they could at least have had winter scents. Not worth the $$ especially when you can get most of it for a $1 a piece during the mix and match sales.
omg i wanted to get this but it was sold out..... blessing in disguise lol
thank you for this video !! just subbed, excited to see more advent calendar unboxings! 💕
catsnpizza definitely a blessing you didn’t get it, so not worth it lol
Yayyy I’m so glad thank you!!!!💕💕
What eyelashes are you wearing? So beautiful!
they released another one but its actually really good. its got stuff from too faced, huda beauty, fenty and even milk. they've got both full sized and minis.
Glad I didn't go and buy one. I'll stick with my Davids Tea advent calendar
Also I’d like to mention: just because the value of the calendar is more then what you paid doesn’t mean it’s a good-- or even decent deal! The reason: would you have bought those items anyways?

It is only worth it if with the discounted price you would’ve bought that bundle.... and date I say that no one would’ve bought that bundle if they knew it came with sample body wash
Those stickers are for ur nails, yes there for ur nails 😂
How do you order one?? It doesn't say on sephora website
I love Advent calendars. I do agree this was "mediocre" with the contents. I saw Elemis has one but it's out of my price range at $250. I think for that kind of money I would get something like the Aldi's wine Advent calendar. 😂 I would be interested in seeing others. Great video. I hope you're having a good day.
Oh my god, this advent calendar is horrible! Thank for your video ❤. I will buy only the white eyeshadow. Kisses from Italy. ❤ You are so cute ❤

wouldnt you give at least a few full size products for £45
My $20 target beauty box was amazing last year, came with relatively great sized products and such a variety, I got a mix of makeup, hair, and skincare.. SOOOO much better than this.. try it out if you haven’t already!
review the jeffree x shane dawson palette
I think I'll pass on that one!
Can you do a advent calendars from home shopping network. Qvc or Hsn they both have beauty advent calendars. And thank you for your informative videos. I’m asking for one of these for one of my Christmas presents 🎁! Just hoping I will find better one than Sephora’s .
That was underwhelming! Worst advent calendar so far! But I absolutely love your honesty !!!!
Thanks for showing this. I will definitely pass

We got our puppies a advent calender!!
I am so glad you did this calendar,I was going to buy it for my Daughter,but she would not have been impressed!!!! It looks to me like a lot of sample sizes!! Not worth 45$ to me!! Hugs
Its better than last years at least.
girl if you read down it totally tells you what comes in those

Red lip liner that doesn't match the lipstick? Watermelon lip balm seems like a summer leftover. Bah Humbug greedy Sephora👎
I mean y’all are hating on Sephora but I counted and all the products together were $61.00
You can go into sephora and ask for just about every single one of this as a sample and it's the same size .
Back when I traveled for work, there were hotels that included a makeup wipe with the shampoo and conditioner soap basics. I think it's the Marriott that does that. But I'm not positive. Of course they also put a $4 bottle of Evian water in your room too, that if you drink it, they charge you for it at checkout. lol

Shouldn’t u open this in December
Firar ni amerikansk jul eller svensk jul... Eller kombination av dem två?
Johanna Levander svensk jul :)
Ulta’s 12 days of beauty is fabulous and only 20 bucks !!!!!!!

You should try YesStyle calendar pretty pastel please did one and that was amazing

Wouldn't waste my money on it. I'll stick to the Lindor advent calendar!
Wow that was underwhelming! Good video, bad calendar! Would rather get myself a nice palette for that price... or get the Look Fantastic or GlossyBox one. Such a shame as Sephora could really use this to showcase their stuff!
Wait, what happened last year!?
You're better off going to Sephora and buying something you actually want for $45. You'll get those crummy samples for free.
It’s all free samples...
woah! what a worst waste of money... but i do salute your tolerance level.
Sephora shows what is inside so don't buy...Save Money for Something worth my MONEY💛
I think those stickers are for your nails.........☺️
I work at Jcp and have seen so many older people purchase this for their kids/grandkids lol
I'm sorry but personally I really didn't like this one. It just seemed like they were getting rid of last year's stuff from that advent calendar.

5 mintues in and I already knew it wasn't going to be good. What a bummer for 50 bucks. 🤦♀️
Anyone else think that the grape mask on 20:32 was a grape puff bar for a second.. it looked like it for a second
I need nyx cosmetics advent calendar
If you think about it, each item is only really 2 dollars each, so not too much
