MERCH SALE🎄Up to 25% Off LIMITED EDITION Holiday Merch + All other Merch in my store! crowdmade.com/collections/alexandriaryan Hey guys! So this is a strange one and I don’t really know what to think because while I was filming I didn’t think this was a bad calendar, and it still isn’t horrible, but as I was editing I started feeling a little let down by it. Especially after thinking back to last years calendar where we got two palettes one of which was a large one and what I remember being more makeup. Plus that calendar I think was advertised as a 45% savings so the value went down but the price remained the same. Let me know what you think! Love ya💖
Yeah I think the advent calendars should all start off small and get better as the days go by....that really was a let down for the last day and I actually wasn't very impressed with the items in this Huda one!
I completely agree about the last day being the best of all. That day 12 is a complete let down. And since HUDA is known for great shadows, I really think day 12 should be a full sized palette. I think you should try the primer because it's also skincare,you know, good stuff for your skin. Start now while you're young. Thank me later when you're old like me. No wait. You might not be able to thank me. Never mind. Start now. Hooray! (didn't want to end on a down note) 😁
fun fact, pineapples contain an enzyme called bromelian, it breaks down proteins and is a great meat tenderizer which is why your mouth sometimes tingle, burn, and/or bleed cus it’s eating at the proteins in your mouth, so in other words the pineapple is eating you back
Someone most definitely misunderstood the instructions when they were told, "Design the box in the shape of lips". This has to be intentional. It's hilarious and I love it.
I know! All I could think was “please don’t accidentally turn that box the other direction”........that would be one image that would be hard to erase from memory! 😂🤣😂
I read your comment before the video was there and thought: how much can it look like that? The video showed the box and I yelled: OMG, it DOES look like that!
Oh, that sounds delightful. A friend gifted me a wine Advent calendar last year. 12 days of wine (mini bottles). It was such a nice treat. The ones Alex reviews make me sad.
the branding of this calander cant be an acciddent surely? no way did it get through an entire design and approval process without anyone saying "doesnt that look like.....?". and to include a bottle of a clear jelly and something called "thirst trap juice"?
Last years Huda advent calendar was amazing! It had a full size and a 9 pan palette, and possibly a small perfume. This is not it, not for $175. I got some of these is my Ipsy and boxy 😂 Also Huda is having a huge Black Friday sale where you can pick out your OWN products!
I think the last box/day should be the biggest or like most expensive of them. Or a new product that hasn't released yet. So far every Last Day has been a huge let down. I would prefer a coupon over a single sheet mask
It should...but we don't live in Shouldland. Ah, Shouldland! Where clean-cut kids cruise Shouldland Boulevard, and the Shouldland High football team gets their optimistic assed kicked by their crosstown rival, Reality Check Tech.
The alleged value of this calendar is $269.23 if the $175 price tag is actually 35% off the value of the contents in case anyone else was wondering, I was curious to figure it out!
@@deannagaldo6753 A 35% saving means saving 35% of the ORIGINAL price. 35% of $269.23 is $94.23. $269.23 - $94.23= $175. Your calculation would be correct for an additional 35% free.
If you have a matte lipstick, but don’t like matte to much 1- put on a rich lip balm/moisturizer 2- put the lipstick on 3- put a clear gloss over top immediately before the lipstick can dry down. This should make it a bit more creamy
Alexandria's Annual Advent Adventure is my favorite time of year. The only thing that would be funnier is if you opened every day on the same day from every calendar. LOL It's not do-able but it would be funny.
There’s a Swedish youtuber that opens 100 advent calendars every autumn. It’s great fun, especially when the calendars are bad. Her channel is in Swedish, though…
I feel like the phrase that encapsulates your entire annual Advent Calendar series is “I had the lowest possible expectations and I was still disappointed.” We all know the calendars are going to suck, and yet we’re all addicted to watching you show off how bad they are 😂
If I've done my sums right the total value would have been $270.17 (which when taking off 35% = $175.61). If you were to buy all the same items in the current sale it would be $161.72 (I took into account dividing up the two that were part of a multipack). From what I could tell, the mini lipstick is usually part of a duo and as you pointed out it looks like the eye patches come in sets of 3. It also does seem like most were full size. Most expensive item was the Wishful thirst trap juice, which does appear to be the 30 ml full size bottle (usually $47, reduced to $32.90). So, the value was there...until the sale. Because the problem is that I notice the calendar isn't in the sale right now which means it is definitely no longer value for money (though some of the items are currently out of stock too). That mascara was so expensive for what it was, honestly, I would rather they'd put in a mini version of the mascara instead and used that value to put in another decent item instead of the eye patches (they couldn't even give you the full 3 pairs). Another issue I saw, is that If you didn't read the items that were in the calendar where it does say it includes 1 of the 3 pallette, then the picture at a glance would mislead you into thinking you were geting all 3 of the pallettes. As for that pair of eye patches (I guess it's still not as bad as one vitamin pill)...there are enough things in a relatively decent price range on their store that they didn't have to resort to them; although I'm still trying to figure out if the furry headband would have been better (at least it's reusable?!) Lol. I'm conflicted on this one, and I agree with you, the last item is what leaves the final impression, heck, they could have still kept the eye masks in there in day 1 or 2 and it would have been fine so long as they put one of the higher value items in 12, either the pallette or thirst trap juice, but they also had enough value I the calendar to not have to put something better in their place. It also would have been great to see something from their newer items, like the Rose quartz stuff seems to be newer but I'm just going from what their site says lol.
@@deannagaldo6753 No, they're not wrong. If $175 is 35% off, that means that $175 = 65% of the original price. So to get the result, you don't add 35% of $175 because it's not the full price in the first place.
Try roasting or grilling the pineapple (add a brown sugar glaze for an extra treat). Many people react to raw pineapple. Cooking the fresh pineapple gives you the best flavor and it lessens or eliminates the reaction.
I am late to this party but I watch your videos when I cook and now my husband is hooked to these videos too! We are rooting for you to find something you love in one of these advent calendars for a change 😁🤪
i totally agree with you the last day should always be the best one. its like you said the days leading to the last should be a slow build up of excitement so that the last day is the best day. some of these calenders have been major letdowns but i love your commentary and feed back is honestly the best thing ever. i never get sick of your videos
I have had the legit lashes for a few months now and paired with an eyelash curler, it does not disappoint! it really does work well with the fibers in the formula almost pushing the fibers to the tips extending your actual lash. 10/10 would recommend!
Out of all the people that this packaging had to pass through, prior to being released, and not 1 of them stopped and said "wait, this looks like lady parts"? 🤦🏽♀️. The packaging is terrible.
The end of that calendar was redonkulous! There were some good products, but I 100% agree with you that the final product should be the best. Appreciate the review and love this advent calendar series so very much!
I'm not going to question it, but I laughed a lot at "Samantha... Which is almost my name!" I don't understand it, but I also completely understand it at the same time.
I just can’t believe I looked through all the comments and nobody but us picked up on it!!! maybe it is her middle name! I will say Alexandria Samantha with the right last name is so cute!! I would love if she replied to this to clear it up for us!
I swear Alexandria knows when my chronic illness is kicking my butt and I need a pick-me-up. I was sat feeling very annoyed at my lack of productiveness today and now I have a distraction, thanks! Oh and for the next calendar, go for Dior, please don't leave it until last, thinking it will be the best...
Next year try Yesstyle advert calendar. They always come out either september or october for ordering before sold out. It's a really good calendar that you might enjoy and everything is full size product. Even if there's a sheet mask sometimes they would add more than 1.
Yes the last day should be the "BEST!". Back when i was a kid and we had chocolate advent calendars, the 24th was always double size piece of chocolate compared to all the rest of the days! Ive been watching your advent calendar opening videos, and it seems like big companys dont get this! Last door is always a gift coupon for 10% off, a face mask, a sticker, a key chain or something GRAND like that. Anyways, have a great holiday times and hopefully next calendar is better!
the timing of this video could not have been more perfect, I have literally just sat down w my burger n fries and was looking for something to watch and hoping for a new advent calendar review 💕💕
I've watched every single Avent unboxing!! After work I love to sit down with a cup of coffee and watch !! You make my day so much better after a full day of teaching toddlers all day!! Lol thanks A.!!!
Same with the pineapple thing. Try taking a benedryl before you eat it, I’ve had drs tell me it’s the acid levels in the fruit that irritate my mouth ☺️
What i find really helpful for lashes is a lash adhesive eyeliner pen at target. It is super easy. The brand is not coming to me but when you use it you don't have to worry about lash glue. All you have to do is apply it like regular eyeliner. And it comes in clear and black. I think you would find it really useful
For pineapple, I will dip mine into lightly salted water and sometimes will rinse it off. It helps keep the pineapple from burning my mouth (I also love eating it daily) and it doesn’t change the flavor of it or make it taste salty.
I always wondered when a bad product is last if they think it counts down.... when I was little I always opened mine counting down like 24 first to 1 to measure "days til Christmas " I always wondered if some companies think that way too lol
I love this series!! Next year it might be fun to open day 1 of every calendar that you bought. Then the next day you open every day number 2 and so on and so on. Love you!!
This is for my ‘90s babies. The micro brow pencil, the first side you showed, reminds me so much of the clickable crayon/colored pencils I used to have as a kid. The colored part that came out of the pencil looked exactly like that. It was tiny. Especially considering how thick the actual pencil part was.
That double ended mascara is GOOD. You can use each side individually or use them together. I treated myself to one last year and I absolutely loved it. Only downside is it is very messy when you remove it. I plan on buying another one sometime.
I just got my husband a cheese advent calendar!! Can't wait to see him dig into the calendar and enjoy a new cheese each day up to Christmas!! I bought ours at Sam's Club but I know that Aldi also has one, each one is $14.99!!
I always love how specific you get about scents/smells (like a dentists gloves), I am the same way. 😂 I have an oversensitive nose and can usually pick out any smell, because I often get headaches that are triggered by smells.
I would venture to say the shape of the mascara wand is intended to be bigger on the outside of your lashes, longer lashes are a whole lot easier to coat with product, then, smaller on the inside for the short little stubby lashes at the inner corner, so you can really get in there. I can not stand when a wand is fat at both ends, due to me having hooded eyelids, it can get messy very quickly!! 😆
If the calendar's price was a 35% saving then the original cost was the "100% amount" and the calendar is 65% of the original, so $175/65×100=$269.23 original value, which is a lot more than if you added 35% of $175 to $175, which is 175×1.35=$236.25
They easily could have fit 4 to 6 eyemask packets into that day! Giving just one is so cheap and lazy. And I totally agree with you that an advent calendar needs to grow as you go. The whole point of the season of Advent is counting up (or down, whichever way you want to look at it) to Christmas and the celebration of the birth of Jesus. So an advent calendar, even a secular one with no religious connections or connotations, should be just as exciting and anticipatory. In general, in life, you always Save The Best For Last. Too many companies are just lazy and trying to make a quick buck by getting in on a trend while dumping their trash on customers.
Capt’n Crunch needs to be listed as a class 1 narcotic. It’s so delicious and I’m lactose intolerant (but even enough lactaid gets to me) but it hurts so good!
If you're not allergic, the Silk vanilla almond milk is pretty good. (And if you need a good dairy free cheese, Violife is pretty good. It's also nut free, gluten free, and soy free. It's made with mainly coconut oil. Melts really well too)
omg, 7 minutes ago! this is the best thing I could've asked for after just getting home from work! I love your videos! I hope you and your family have an amazing thanksgiving tomorrow!
Why do I get the feeling that Advent calendar was filled with production over-runs? Really Alexandria you were much more polite than I would have been. 😊
Honestly think a brand needs to collab with you on an advent calendar for next year. I just know it would be perfect, with a proper final day. I would definitely buy it.
They only have to get ONE door right lol. All the other days they can put whatever in the boxes .. but on the last day it should be the very best.. most exciting thing youre getting. I think the people that make advert calendars forgot the excitement of what the advent calendar is suppose to be. BOOOOOOOOO lol
This years was such a disappointment, especially compared to last years. Last year you got two 10ml KayAli fragrances, one being the always sold out Vanilla 28 and you got two palettes! It was really good. This year felt a little cheap. The packaging is prettier but that’s the only plus.
Thats why I was disappointed with it! When I was unboxing it I felt like it was pretty good but watching it back while editing and remembering last years I started to feel a little disappointed.
Hey Alex! 1- I absolutely love these advent calendars, and these are some of my favorite videos of yours, and your videos always make me smile 💜 2- when will you have more pink colored sweatshirts and shirts back in stock? I have the one pink shirt, and I’m obsessed, and I’d love a pink hoodie with the giant skull that says “have a lovely, wonderful, fantastic day”
I can’t imagine I’m the first person to suggest this, but next year you should make a giant advent calendar made out of all the other advent calendars.

Last years calendar was so much better! I’m glad I bought it last year. Will definitely skip this year though.
The Glossybox was better than this and it was only £30
I took full advantage of that Black Friday sale. It was amazing
I actually just watched the one from last year and it was so good that if she’d done a similar box this year I would’ve bought it for my sister

Alexandria's Annual Advent Adventure is my favorite time of year. The only thing that would be funnier is if you opened every day on the same day from every calendar. LOL It's not do-able but it would be funny.
Or maybe just pick a random advent to open one door everyday and film shorts for or film it with the daily advent unboxing
Kinda love that. So like Day 1 and open every day 1... maybe you should! :)

All you have to do is apply it like regular eyeliner. And it comes in clear and black. I think you would find it really useful
Eyelure and Kiss have them!
“Lipsticular shaped” I love Alexandriaisms!
Do i wear makeup? No. Have i been watching your advent calendar videos for over 2 years? yes.
The huda primer you can mix with eyeshadow and make bolder pigments! Just an FYI
I’ve never clicked on a post notification so fast! These are my favorite videos!
Im so glad I you like them!
For pineapple, I will dip mine into lightly salted water and sometimes will rinse it off. It helps keep the pineapple from burning my mouth (I also love eating it daily) and it doesn’t change the flavor of it or make it taste salty.
That eye pallet 'Nude' will look stunning on you. You should definitely use that over the holiday and winter season.
Before the camera focused I thought day 9's lipstick was just a hunk of product, like a solid stick of colored beeswax and was v confused
When you said each day should get better and better🙌🏼🙌🏼 literally on point! Been watching you for a few years now and still can’t miss a video tho!
I always wondered when a bad product is last if they think it counts down.... when I was little I always opened mine counting down like 24 first to 1 to measure "days til Christmas " I always wondered if some companies think that way too lol
I guess u would have loved it if it was Nude medium palette ! It has the browns n stuff that u wud want . Even the nude light is very pretty 😍
I love this series!! Next year it might be fun to open day 1 of every calendar that you bought. Then the next day you open every day number 2 and so on and so on. Love you!!
That kind of defeats the purpose of trying to help people not waste their money…
This is for my ‘90s babies. The micro brow pencil, the first side you showed, reminds me so much of the clickable crayon/colored pencils I used to have as a kid. The colored part that came out of the pencil looked exactly like that. It was tiny. Especially considering how thick the actual pencil part was.
saw the notification and immediately came over! your advent calendars unboxings are my favourite time of year on youtube!!
Happy Thanksgiving!! We would never skip a rant and I totally agree with you about how advent calendars should be laid out.
I think you should make your own advent calendar! I think it would be amazing. 😁
@Alexandria Ryan Maybe some advent calendars are suppose to be opened backwards cause you are counting down the days. ??
That double ended mascara is GOOD. You can use each side individually or use them together. I treated myself to one last year and I absolutely loved it. Only downside is it is very messy when you remove it. I plan on buying another one sometime.
I fully agree the last day SHOULD be the biggest & best goody.
FYI y'all hudas advent calendar went on sale after Christmas last year! So if you want a deal I'd wait 😉
I love the palette! I like using the pink shades! You are so much fun to watch, Alexandria Ryan!
I just got my husband a cheese advent calendar!! Can't wait to see him dig into the calendar and enjoy a new cheese each day up to Christmas!! I bought ours at Sam's Club but I know that Aldi also has one, each one is $14.99!!
Loving having you pop up so often, thanks for buying all the stuff so we can go "ooh, ahh" at everything - much appreciated!☺️😘😸
I always love how specific you get about scents/smells (like a dentists gloves), I am the same way. 😂 I have an oversensitive nose and can usually pick out any smell, because I often get headaches that are triggered by smells.
Same. I can't be around freshly made coffee for that very reason.
@@fierlanfire1806 oh so sad, coffee is one of my favorite smells, even better than the taste
Same!
I don't know about you guys, but I'm here for the tangents. Especially the girthy ones 🤣
I would venture to say the shape of the mascara wand is intended to be bigger on the outside of your lashes, longer lashes are a whole lot easier to coat with product, then, smaller on the inside for the short little stubby lashes at the inner corner, so you can really get in there. I can not stand when a wand is fat at both ends, due to me having hooded eyelids, it can get messy very quickly!! 😆
If the calendar's price was a 35% saving then the original cost was the "100% amount" and the calendar is 65% of the original, so $175/65×100=$269.23 original value, which is a lot more than if you added 35% of $175 to $175, which is 175×1.35=$236.25
They easily could have fit 4 to 6 eyemask packets into that day! Giving just one is so cheap and lazy. And I totally agree with you that an advent calendar needs to grow as you go. The whole point of the season of Advent is counting up (or down, whichever way you want to look at it) to Christmas and the celebration of the birth of Jesus. So an advent calendar, even a secular one with no religious connections or connotations, should be just as exciting and anticipatory. In general, in life, you always Save The Best For Last. Too many companies are just lazy and trying to make a quick buck by getting in on a trend while dumping their trash on customers.
Wet n wild has an advent calendar try that one
Capt’n Crunch needs to be listed as a class 1 narcotic. It’s so delicious and I’m lactose intolerant (but even enough lactaid gets to me) but it hurts so good!
I don't like cereal
@@Jezabella2002 good to know Jp
If you're not allergic, the Silk vanilla almond milk is pretty good. (And if you need a good dairy free cheese, Violife is pretty good. It's also nut free, gluten free, and soy free. It's made with mainly coconut oil. Melts really well too)
@@Antisocial_Cryptid13 that’s one issue, yes. The other issue is the cutting of the roof of my mouth.

Man, I should go to the store. I need a fix.
@@HamsterGuroGirl ok Kelley glad you think so 👍
I love the wishful scrub 🤩
So when is Alexandria making her own advent calendar for us to buy ? 🤔👀
I'm here for your tangents as much as nything else 😄 🤣 you make my day keep being you xx
omg, 7 minutes ago! this is the best thing I could've asked for after just getting home from work! I love your videos! I hope you and your family have an amazing thanksgiving tomorrow!
I LOVE LLAMAS!! 😍
Hell knowing me I would've eaten the giant Toblerone even without the tangent. 💗
Coool video happy thanksgiving!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I'm loving the advent calendar videos!!!❤️❤️❤️
Im so glad you like them!
Why do I get the feeling that Advent calendar was filled with production over-runs? Really Alexandria you were much more polite than I would have been. 😊
My favorite part of these videos is when she changes the number.
I have the same problem with pineapple! It's the bromelain. I avoid pineapple enzyme cleansers for this reason.
Honestly think a brand needs to collab with you on an advent calendar for next year. I just know it would be perfect, with a proper final day. I would definitely buy it.
I never have and never will buy a makeup advent calendar, but for some reason, I can't stop myself from watching all of your reviews of them.
They only have to get ONE door right lol. All the other days they can put whatever in the boxes .. but on the last day it should be the very best.. most exciting thing youre getting.
I think the people that make advert calendars forgot the excitement of what the advent calendar is suppose to be.
BOOOOOOOOO lol

Here's the people who didn't skip over the "girthy Toblerone" story.
“I went to theee.. Europe” 🤣
I will gladly watch more advent calendar videos. Keep buying them. I’ll keep watching!
This years was such a disappointment, especially compared to last years. Last year you got two 10ml KayAli fragrances, one being the always sold out Vanilla 28 and you got two palettes! It was really good. This year felt a little cheap. The packaging is prettier but that’s the only plus.
Thats why I was disappointed with it! When I was unboxing it I felt like it was pretty good but watching it back while editing and remembering last years I started to feel a little disappointed.
Yes I loved last year’s . I’m gonna pass this year
Prettier right ok 😐😑🤣
@@Jezabella2002 I think it looks like lady bits lol
@@tiffanynicole5920 I think we all think that 🤣
I’m in LOVE with that Huda Rich pallet😍🥵
Hey Alex! 1- I absolutely love these advent calendars, and these are some of my favorite videos of yours, and your videos always make me smile 💜 2- when will you have more pink colored sweatshirts and shirts back in stock? I have the one pink shirt, and I’m obsessed, and I’d love a pink hoodie with the giant skull that says “have a lovely, wonderful, fantastic day”
Toblerone makes the best fondue for fruit
im pretty sure the mailman is just fed up with all the deliveries and he purposely smashes ur boxes 😂
Manuka honey is very good for medical purposes. It’s a natural antibacterial and a lot of people use it to heal the skin.
I can’t imagine I’m the first person to suggest this, but next year you should make a giant advent calendar made out of all the other advent calendars.
I never want these videos to end! Christmas can come and go, but I’m not ready for the advent calendar videos to stop!!!
236$ box value!
Love 💕 the new merch! Omg 😳 too cute!!! Blessings and good health to you and yours during the holidays!
XOX Luna 💚❤️
This comment needs to be higher so we do not all need to get our calculators out!
It's $270. 35% off $236 is $153.
@@maria-aquariusunbound I just checked and you’re right. My bad
@@TheWholeEntireCake
That’s ok 👍🏻 🥰
Hudas lashes were the first ones I was able to successfully apply! Def a good easy pair for false eyelashes beginners🖤
Ok so if it's a 35% savings you are paying 65% of the original. So it's $175÷0.65 or $270 originally.
