  • Today, I'm unboxing the Chanel No. 5 Holiday Advent Calendar! I already knew what was inside since I shared a preview of the contents but there were still a few surprises both good and bad! Overall, I am very happy I decided to forgo other holiday launches to purchase this calendar instead. Most of the other holiday makeup (Dior, Pat McGrath Labs etc.) will go on sale in a few months but the Chanel calendar's value has already increased since it sold out so quickly. It's a collector's piece that I will cherish for years! Let me know your thoughts and if you would like to see other advent calendar 'unboxings'! xx

I think I had a real reckoning "come to Jesus" moment during my last makeup organization/declutter video when I found all of the holiday makeup I had purchased from the previous year and completely forgotten about. At some point, once you have enough makeup (most beauty UA-camrs/product reviewers do) anything you buy is pretty wasteful unfortunately. It's all relative, I would much rather invest in the calendar this year since it won't be available again versus spending probably the same amount of money on holiday makeup that I won't ever touch after I post my review. That's just my perspective! xx

    Good Morning Babes! Mark your calendars for October 28th, that will be the launch of the holiday makeup collection! 😍I hope you enjoy seeing the calendar unboxed, it's truly a special collector's item. Only 890 of them sold in the US which is why it sold out so fast. I don't think it's possible to justify the outrageous price tag but in an attempt to play devil's advocate, I must point out that the extremely limited quantity has helped to increase the value of the calendar. It's already selling second hand for over twice the price which is usually the case for Chanel items. While most of the other holiday makeup launches will go on sale in the next few months, the calendar will increase in value in the eyes of a collector. I think the advent calendar should be seen as more of a novelty item, like a Dior puzzle or Hermes pop-up book. It's not the contents inside that give it value, it's the calendar itself since they don't make them every year. I'm happy I went ahead with my order but I completely understand the criticism as well. What do you think?! xx

    I didn’t think Chanel would be a good value calendar of course, they are expensive so that’s to be expected but I’m in complete and utter shock. When you started to take the tissue off, I gasped because of how beautiful it looked. Stickers and paper ornaments? It just seems to be aimed at children. Chanel really missed on this occasion. It didn’t need to be all mini products which would have been nice but ornaments that are of really good quality that will last and are exclusives. I can’t believe they get away with this, its as though they are taking the high paying customers for fools. Disappointing and I’m so glad nobody I know bought this. I did love the review though, you were able to stay enthusiastic and positive when I’d have been livid but that’s why I watch you ❤️

    My god, this advent calendar contains as many stickers, childish bracelets and paper stuff as some advent calendars targeting teenage girls, but 10-20 times more expensive!!! Erin is so sweet to try to make the best out of the situation...but I can tell this calendar does not bring her joy...

Have they no shame?

    Thank you for taking one for the team, Erin 😉❤. Your sentiments are spot on, if they had included more items of value I think more people would be excited about it!!

    Wow, thank you for biting the bullet for us to see Erin! I will say I’m very disappointed with the quality of the products inside, Chanel is known for luxury and this isn’t it.

    I really enjoyed watching this! The more I think about the items inside the calendar, though, the less sense this makes to me. I get that with an advent calendar (as opposed to a value or gift set) we’ve been essentially conned into thinking we’re paying for the ✨experience✨ of it all but I’d be so upset if I splurged on this calendar and opened up pack after pack of stickers. It all screams throwaway quality to me. The snow globe and little perfume bottle keychain were cute but not $825 cute, to me anyway. Thank you for posting this!

  • @keisha_renee

    You did a fabulous job keeping your composure and staying positive. I kind of feel like Chanel is seeing just how idiotic we can be, rushing out and buying their products without using any of our brain cells at all. I mean, this is disgusting in my opinion. There are fun calendars, silly calendars, but this one is a slap in the face. Next year they’re going to give us their used tissues… and people will line up to buy it.

    It actually makes me angry that Chanel is so full of themselves that they are making a joke of this. The price vs what they chose to put in this is a joke, they know it. I don't fault anyone for choosing to spend their money anyway they want no issue with that at all, but it leaves me angry at the brand. And I agree, Dior, Guerlain etc they are all doing it. There are advent calendars that are actually great value ( or at least good value - Charlotte Tilbury is a good example), and a fun way to test and try out many of a brands best items (in smaller sizes)...I definitely enjoy this unboxing and your very thorough review.

If not, just get others if having these cute goodie boxes brings you happiness, because they're expensive! I loved seeing the contents of this one, though. It put me in a festive mood. It's like living vicariously through you!

It makes a beautiful display for your office/filming room.

    This is definitely a collectors item and I think most of these luxury calendars are. I feel like some like the cult beauty one are way more interesting and actually meant for people to discover new products and use them, they aren’t cheap at 200/300 either. Honestly, this kind of feels like a rip off and I can’t imagine the profit margin they are getting on these.
