Today we are unboxing the Glossybox 2021 advent calendar and its...actually good?? This calendar has a huge $550 value! But let see if the products are actually worth it! Let me know what you think! Love ya💖
Am I the only one who watches these videos as a means to stop myself from buying the calendars? Seriously you're saving me a whole ton of money here I satisfy my curiosity so that I don't drop a fortune.
These videos hit a very specific itch I have where I don't wear makeup or do any skincare stuff but I absolutely love weird little bottles of potions and serums and stuff, and also love tearing through advent calendars. Plus she's just so adorable I can't handle it!
The Viktor & Rolf perfumes are mentioned in lists of things to avoid putting in your hold baggage for flights because they resemble grenades on X-Rays. The version they sell in airport Duty Free shops has different packaging for that reason.
@@mooltz I literally read it on the airport security information page of the London City Airport site a few years ago that they recommend against packing that cologne. If you see the cologne for sale in Duty Free shops it’s in a different bottle.
Not sure if too late, but maybe next year- yes style has an awesome advent box- between $180-$200 for full size Korean skin care. Have not been disappointed 😍
I think subscription boxes and Advent calendars generally contain red and/or berry toned lip products because they're usually suitable for use with the most skin tones, whereas most "nudes" are only nude for a certain subset of people.
Lapland is the northern most part of finland where “santa lives”, beautiful spot to see northern lights. it’s a popular tourist spot but also the native land of Saami people. If you’re interested i recommend searching up organizations that help support saami folk.
@@theresamnsota3925 Yeah! I cringed the moment I heard it, especially from what should be a 'luxury' brand. Using a slur and the coloniser name isn't Cool. Especially with how much we - the Norwegians, Swedes, and Finns - have encroached on their ground. The area is preferred to be called Sápmi - at least from what I've heard - and it chafes that a brand uses such a word. Yes, it may have been the 'official' name of the area for a WHILE, but that does NOT excuse the fact the l-word is a slur to Saami people, and have been used in their oppression. Just Norway alone is responsible for such reprehensible actions, where we can never repay for what we've done. Especially with how we keep trying to take their lands or their livestock. Basically, I hate the fact they used a slur for a product. If they wanted the same vibe, use any other area in Scandi! The Northern Circle - Polarsirkelen - is a very popular tourist spot in Norway, as an example, for its beauty and history. There are so many things you could call that product, without continuing to silence Saami voices. Idk, it just chafes that this product got used in the calendar. I can kind of understand why an American company may not have noticed, but like, STILL. Quality checks should've happened. I know Scandi stuff never really reaches West, but still. Such a thing shouldn't have happened. And YES, like the OP said! If you're interested in Saami culture and/or products, look into Saami organisations! I know around Christmas times there pops up a lot of Saami-led shops and products sold. Oslo, for example, has tents where Saami people sell genuine products that will support them and their culture. The reindeer products especially, as that side of their livelihood is often threatened by the State and its limits. I just genuinely recommend looking into Saami organisations, especially as a lot of their culture is appropriated. Especially as the Christmas season is approaching
@@irisbaggins I looked up the brand, and it looks like that particular product was made in France, so perhaps that explains some of the cultural ignorance. Doesn’t excuse it though. I may have taken a bit more offense as I believe I may have some Sami heritage in the family woodpile. Hopefully 23 and Me and AncestryDNA will eventually be able to detect Sami DNA. In my results I got a hit for Finland, which has never been part of my family story and I got a strong hit for Norwegian ancestry in county Finnmark. My direct Norwegian peeps came from the Sognfjord, not that far north. But yeah, they should never have used a product with a slur in its name.
@@theresamnsota3925 Yeahhh, that really does irk me. Taking and appropriating a culture so far removed from theirs is...really not cool. That is very understandable! For me, it's just my general enragement about how Saami folk are treated, especially how we Norwegian folk can brush our atrocities under the rug. It sucks. But that's cool! And Sognfjord is a really stunning place. I do hope your look into your ancestry goes well! A lot of Saami heritage has been hidden due to the oppression they were under, so hopefully your own investigation can find what was forced to hide! It's a real annoyance and frustration, and really, really bad. It should not have happenes
@@irisbaggins yeah I totally get the poor treatment angle of indigenous peoples. We here in the States get called out for it all the time by people around the world (and rightfully so). The company Polaar, which is based in France probably thinks they’ve done nothing wrong.
I appreciate that they included the conditioner with the shampoo on the same day rather than two separate days and including a few brushes with the eyeshadow,unlike sephora where they put the eyelash glue on a separate day from the lashes and the glitter glue separate from the glitter 😂
This calendar is sitting on our dresser in our bedroom. I’m so excited can’t wait till December 1 st I did not watch whole video but loved your summation! I also love I can use empty calendar afterwards! Stay safe girl. I’m going to watch the elf videos.
FYI for glitter polish. Paint it on a makeup sponge first (those cheap white ones) then dab your nail. You'll get better coverage more like what it looks like in the bottle.
Fyi that watermelon sleeping mask is my *holy grail* product. Like SO GOOD. I have the most sensitive/reactive skin and I breakout easily from most products, but this not only doesn't break me out, it actually made my skin the best it's ever been! Like clearer than I thought possible. Edit: just use a little dab of your finger every night before bed. The mini size lasts like six months!
I'm in the UK and I have to say, I think the Glossybox advent calendar over here is much better this year! There were definitely some good products in your one, but I feel a bit underwhelmed after seeing everything - especially as day 25 in our one is the Huda Mercury Retrograde palette! I think they could have given you something better than Wander Beauty for the final day 💜
Please consider donating all the things you don’t want from these Advent Calendars to a Woman’s Shelter for Christmas! Just getting makeup or skincare products can mean so much to a woman who has been displaced or is underprivileged. People never consider donating things like this to shelters because they think it’s frivolous but especially at Christmas it can really be a big mood lifter for someone going through a rough time. The shelters would be so grateful for any donation people can make. 💕
I love this time of year. Advent calendars my favorite are always the one with piece of chocolate. I just buy it to have an excuse to eat chocolate in the morning.
I love your dedication to unboxing advent calendars as 1) I’m broke and 2) whenever I get an advent calendar I either forget to open them OR I open the doors all at once (thanks ADHD)
You can use the pillowcase to help dry your hair! I like to wrap my hair up while I’m getting ready and doing my makeup! The silk helps it not dry frizzy!!
#TeamSEAS I gift the Glossybox to my daughter every year as her "mixed" calendar, and have never been disappointed with them! Still don't understand why they replaced the items for door 18 and the pallets for the US market, but whatever I suppose, she'll love it regardless. 15:25 GORGEOUS ENGAGEMENT RING!!!!
Love the viktor&rolf perfume as well, I recommend buying the Sephora perfume sample set from this year as it includes the V&R , you get samples from different perfume brands and a voucher that you can exchange for a full size perfume.
@@ananasbanana jasmin,cotton flower and musk. For some reason those 3 scents just work together and smell great! But all of their scents have been winners so far and I'm really picky!
So, i feel like this advent calendar had a lot of sample sizes and the only reason it is 500$ value is the 111 skin, and maybe one other skin products. Also skin care seems to be running more expensive now days even with the sizes going down a lot too... but this is just my opinion. this calendar wasn't bad so yea...
You had me cracking up the entire video. I can’t figure out the funniest .. is it 6? Or when you dropped the stuff in the box and had no idea what came out of it? 🤣🤣 I ❤️ your videos. They always put a much needed smoke on my face 😊
I look forward to the advent calandar unboxes all year. I originally subbed because of the spite of building the Sephora calendar from Dollar Tree items. It is nice to see ones that at least feel worth the price, though.
The value for this advent calendar is definitely better than ELF! I completely agree with you that there were hardly any makeup products, but it was nice that there were some different products like a candle & a pillowcase so it wasn't just skincare.
I lover the chaos of you opening the boxes and making your comments. However it would be nice at the end of the video to see all the products lined up so that we can see everything at once.
Can you please check out the Lacquer is in the Air advent calendar they did with Zombie Claw Polish? They're both amazing Indie Nail Polish brands and include a bunch of other goodies with the polish. This year's theme is A Court of Thorns and Roses!
You are just so awesome... I totally get you when things fall off the boxes or things fly off ...because I do the same... Take care and watch out for those flying objects. I once got a bruise from opening my umbrella...yup...
I'm so excited that I'm here watching along this year! I hadn't found your channel last year for advent calendars and I ended up binge watching all your videos after the holidays, regardless. I LOVE your content! I'd never known beauty advent calendars were a thing until I started watching your videos. now I'm obsessed even tho I'm just recently getting back into makeup and such.
Been bummed out all day yesterday and today but your videos always cheer me up. Was so excited when I saw your vid pop up in my subscriptions again today
So I read reviews but haven't seen the products, but apparently asos has a great calendar, I would love to see u review that one! Also because I won't watch anyone else unbox calenders or really any subscription boxes because it's just not the same, ur the freaking best! I'm a faithful subscriber 😂 lol 😆
I kept staring at your engagement ring this entire time!!! Congrats again on the engagement!! Love the video! I love your advent calendar adventures! I do miss you trying on makeup like you did with ipsy boxes. Maybe with some of the adventure calendars you could try to make a makeup look? They usually have enough to make a full face lol... usually
I am actively avoiding other creators who are doing Advent Calendar Unboxing, yours are the best. I think you missed a sheet mask in the Watermelon Glow Sleeping Treatment Box #5
This one and the yes style one are always the only ones that seem consistently worth it to me, always products that are from good brands with good ingredients with the skincare too
Sea lavender is a flowering plant that isn't related to lavender at all. It likes warmer places, full sun, and sandy soils and it has purple flowers so maybe that's why it's called sea lavender. I just learned about it in my Herbaceous Plants class and had never heard of it being used for anything other than for it's pretty flowers so I thought it would be fun to share! 😁
@@solesuna Lol I just saw that comment. It's funny because if you google sea lavender the first thing that comes up says it's not related to lavender. 😂
Alex, if you ever see the Aldi Lacura pink clay mask, grab it! It's a dupe of the expensive Sand and Sky one, and it's fantastic! It only comes in as a special offer a few times a year, but I highly recommend it. I've run out, and just waiting to pounce when it comes back out lol. It's like gold dust, if you can get your hands on it. The Ebay scalpers always grab them. Their Lacura Caviar skincare range is bomb too. Day, night and eye cream, and their peeling/resurfacing mask in the range (it only needs to stay on for 2 mins). I'm hoping you guys get them in Aldi the US. 💖🏴
@@lisalep Not sure where you are located, but I feel like (and I could be way off base!) Aldi elsewhere is a better store, but our Aldi are like the “cheap” or generic stores…but they’ve come a loooooooong way from when they first opened in the States. When they truly were “generic” and ultra cheap. But, they’ve always been a favorite of mine.
I always chuckle when people say that serum in those glass dropper bottles look so fancy. They remind me of the hydrochloric acid droppers we use to test rocks in geology. 😂 🖤
Would love to see you unbox Jeffrey Stars new mystery boxs. Just to see if its worth peoples money! I love any videos you do, miss cooking with Alexander:(
I enjoy watching your Advent Calendar Unboxing. I really like some of the products in them and my all-time favorite one was the makeup brush and the eyeshadow palette at the end. Your reaction was so priceless at the end when you took out the eyeshadow palette and saw it.
@Alexandria Ryan Lapland is in Finland, It is the most northern point. It is know for their vast subarctic wilderness, midnight sun and northern lights.
I watched this after your Chanel advent video and it’s night & day! 😂 I ordered this last year and loved it, as did a friend I sent the 2019 one to by accident (didn’t realize the Black Friday special was the previous year’s box). I was able to use a lot of it, except some of the make up and hair products (I’m biracial). They made great gifts. I ordered 3 this year for 2 friends and myself. One came around December 10, I cancelled the other 2 on Christmas Eve. 🤦🏽♀️ I don’t need it, anyway, Glossy kept sending me boxes to make up for late boxes, so I have too much product. Helped me give a lot of gift baskets. I think I got as much pleasure watching you enjoy it as I would have opening it myself. BTW, other than regifting the pillowcase, you can use it for travel. I always take one with me and also keep one in my camper van. Great for skin and hair!
“Glamorously healthy… that is not me” Solidarity 😂 Loving these advent calendar unboxings, but I don’t think I’d love them half as much if it weren’t for your personality! You make them so much fun ❤️
Lapland is the northernmost region of Finland, home to the indigenous Sami people, also sometimes called Laplanders. So I bet that's a good hand cream, cuz if anybody knows how to deal with dry winter skin, I would imagine it's the people who live in the literal Arctic!😅
She often lets her stereotypical, privileged out the ass, entitled, clueless, white girl self come out and it came out In FULL FORCE when Lapland came up.
I ordered the Glossy Box Advent Calendar for my daughter. It came a week or so ago. I wanted her to open them all when the box came-but nope. She’s waiting and going to do it like a proper advent calendar! She has way more will power then myself. I felt this was a great bargain with all the items and the beautiful display that they come in. Well done for the price. Thanks for sharing! Now I get to see what’s inside early! 😉
Could I ask you what you use on your hair ? I’m having a problem with rapidly thinning hair and would love to know what you are using. Thanks. I’m loving this series! ❤️
You should get a digital stich counter. They have ones that strap to your finger and you press a button to go up. That way you dont forget which one your on. Love your vids btw. It always makes me smile to see when youve uploaded
How hard can it be? Just look at the numbers and you can see which one you’re on. It worries me watching these videos and now I remember why I unsubscribed. No one can be this dumb. It’s seriously irritating.
I looked up sea lavender cause I wanted to know what it was and it's a just sub genus of Lavender that grow by the sea it seems lol it does look different in how the flowers bloom and grow too though also I always find you relatable and personable but today I just felt like I could really relate to you in this video I like that you leave in the realization you were wrong and feel like a person and not an 'influencer'.
Not trying to nitpick or anything but sea lavender isn't related to lavender. It's apart of the Limonium genus. Whoever gave it it's common name really wanted to mess with people I guess lol.
Oh, this one was awesome!!! I am by far an expert but when I use cream blush, which I have fallen in love with, I use a damp beauty blender and lightly tap it where I want it. It's so much better than powder (for me)!! ❤
Just watched the video- the Pink pillowcase will be great for when you travel. I always bring my own colorful pillowcase when I travel so I don’t forget it when I check out!
I almost got the huda beauty advent calendar for my bday which was the 15th but just ordered stuff I needed more off ulta. So I'm excited to see you open that one.
This is my second video of yours that I’ve watched, and you are so entertaining. I didn’t expect to find you so funny and I loved that you kept in all products you dropped. You just got yourself a new subscriber.
I bought this one for my daughter so I’m so happy you unboxed this early! When you sprayed the hairspray I laughed out loud! You are adorable! Also I just noticed that I have been watching you for over a year and wasn’t subscribed! I fixed that today!
Today we are unboxing the Glossybox 2021 advent calendar and its...actually good?? This calendar has a huge $550 value! But let see if the products are actually worth it! Let me know what you think! Love ya💖
I think this was an amazing calendar. Are you gonna give us a ranking from worst to best when you finish opening them all?
Target has an advent calendar
This one looks great, especially if wanting/needing skincare. And YES, please do a ranking video after the last one!
I would actually buy this!!!
This advent calendar is amazing! One of the ones that is actually worth the money 💰
Am I the only one who watches these videos as a means to stop myself from buying the calendars? Seriously you're saving me a whole ton of money here I satisfy my curiosity so that I don't drop a fortune.
Not at all!! she spends the money so I don’t have to, the least I can do is watch the ads in exchange for her buying the calendars for me
Same here!!!
These videos hit a very specific itch I have where I don't wear makeup or do any skincare stuff but I absolutely love weird little bottles of potions and serums and stuff, and also love tearing through advent calendars. Plus she's just so adorable I can't handle it!
I'm here for the second hand disappointment 🤣
Oh I'm with you here. I always want to try a few of these boxes. My brain wants to ask if they are really that bad and then i watch the videos. XD
I absolutely love this time of year just for the sole purpose of your advent calendar unboxings 😍
Aww thank you!
I absolutely agree!!
SAME
I've attempted to watch other People unbox advent calendars/do similar boxes as Alexandria, turn off so quick from boredom! Not her❤️
Same! These videos is exactly how I found her channel!
The Viktor & Rolf perfumes are mentioned in lists of things to avoid putting in your hold baggage for flights because they resemble grenades on X-Rays. The version they sell in airport Duty Free shops has different packaging for that reason.

Thats... Not true at all.

I actually traveled with mine 2 months ago without problems
Wow I never realized that lol thanks
Not sure if too late, but maybe next year- yes style has an awesome advent box- between $180-$200 for full size Korean skin care. Have not been disappointed 😍
I'd love to be able to get that one, I love Yes Style! But for some reason they don't ship the advent calendar to Canada 😭
I think subscription boxes and Advent calendars generally contain red and/or berry toned lip products because they're usually suitable for use with the most skin tones, whereas most "nudes" are only nude for a certain subset of people.

Kind of sad that a brand would use Lapp/Lappland in their branding.
The Sami people also live in the northern portions of Sweden and Norway.

Same 😂😂
I said the same thing lol.
This calendar is sitting on our dresser in our bedroom. I’m so excited can’t wait till December 1 st I did not watch whole video but loved your summation! I also love I can use empty calendar afterwards! Stay safe girl. I’m going to watch the elf videos.
Just ordered after her video skipped to the summation for the surprise factor 😭
FYI for glitter polish. Paint it on a makeup sponge first (those cheap white ones) then dab your nail. You'll get better coverage more like what it looks like in the bottle.
Your advent calendar unboxings are one of my favorite things about the holidays!
Aw im so glad you enjoy them!
I agree!
Meanwhile I'm just watching them all in July lol
I always come for the box and stay for Alexandria's personality
Fyi that watermelon sleeping mask is my *holy grail* product. Like SO GOOD. I have the most sensitive/reactive skin and I breakout easily from most products, but this not only doesn't break me out, it actually made my skin the best it's ever been! Like clearer than I thought possible.

There were definitely some good products in your one, but I feel a bit underwhelmed after seeing everything - especially as day 25 in our one is the Huda Mercury Retrograde palette! I think they could have given you something better than Wander Beauty for the final day 💜
I was actually thinking the same... The UK one seems much better tbh x
I'm really disappointed with the UK calender this year, it's alot of items I already got from previous boxes or last years calender!
Please consider donating all the things you don’t want from these Advent Calendars to a Woman’s Shelter for Christmas!

Love the viktor&rolf perfume as well, I recommend buying the Sephora perfume sample set from this year as it includes the V&R , you get samples from different perfume brands and a voucher that you can exchange for a full size perfume.
The best perfume is any Juliette has a Gun! Vanilla Vibes and Musc Invisible smell so delicious!!
@@kathyjones5327 What does the musc smell like?
What is the set called
@@ananasbanana Its the Juliette has a Gun " Discovery Set"
@@ananasbanana jasmin,cotton flower and musk. For some reason those 3 scents just work together and smell great! But all of their scents have been winners so far and I'm really picky!

I look forward to the advent calandar unboxes all year. I originally subbed because of the spite of building the Sephora calendar from Dollar Tree items. It is nice to see ones that at least feel worth the price, though.
You blinded me with your diamond. Itsssss so beautiful 😭💕😭😭
Not gonna lie, nothing brings me as much joy as watching your advent calendar videos!
It's that time of the year again, I love watching this.
Love this, but I’m ready for the annual Sephora video. I re-watch her other ones and they never fail to make me laugh.
I love that you are alternating good and bad boxes!! I'm excited to see a strong box!
The value for this advent calendar is definitely better than ELF!
I completely agree with you that there were hardly any makeup products, but it was nice that there were some different products like a candle & a pillowcase so it wasn't just skincare.
10:53 OMG I think that’s the most I’ve laughed on your channel!! 😂😂😂
I lover the chaos of you opening the boxes and making your comments. However it would be nice at the end of the video to see all the products lined up so that we can see everything at once.
11:39 yup what came out of the box was the shampoo and conditioner
My freaking favorite series on you tube is your advent unboxing ❤️❤️
I love counting down the days till Christmas with you Alexandria! 😊🎄
Aww im so glad you are enjoying it!
Your hair looks amazing! So smooth and pretty 🤩
I just love how real and honest you are, about the products and yourself. So thank you for that!
Alex!! I'm trying to watch this while everyone else is sleeping 😴 the chaos in the beginning made me jump out of my skin 😅🤣
Can you please check out the Lacquer is in the Air advent calendar they did with Zombie Claw Polish? They're both amazing Indie Nail Polish brands and include a bunch of other goodies with the polish. This year's theme is A Court of Thorns and Roses!
I knew it!! I knew the brand of that last item just from your reaction 🤣🤣🤣
I cannot tell you how many times I rewatched the first few seconds. 😂 This content is exactly what I needed today - thank you, Alexandria! 💕
You are just so awesome... I totally get you when things fall off the boxes or things fly off ...because I do the same... Take care and watch out for those flying objects. I once got a bruise from opening my umbrella...yup...

Sea lavender is a flowering plant that isn't related to lavender at all. It likes warmer places, full sun, and sandy soils and it has purple flowers so maybe that's why it's called sea lavender. I just learned about it in my Herbaceous Plants class and had never heard of it being used for anything other than for it's pretty flowers so I thought it would be fun to share! 😁
Someone else said it was related to lavender 😅
@@solesuna Lol I just saw that comment. It's funny because if you google sea lavender the first thing that comes up says it's not related to lavender. 😂
If you put the nail lacquer on a makeup wedge sponge then sponge it on your nails you get great coverage without having to put on a load of layers.
I love the editing on these videos and that you show all of your randomness
The pillow case you should save it for your upcoming vacation or honeymoon. All hotels/resorts uses standard pillows. Just a thought in this noggin.
The packaging on this is beautiful!!
Just recently found you, and binged watched all the other advent calendars. I'm excited to be a part of it this year!
The Flower Bomb Nectar one is amazing!
I forgot it was advent calendar season on your channel! So now I’m bingeing them all and it’s the most wonderful time of the year truly
Alex, if you ever see the Aldi Lacura pink clay mask, grab it! It's a dupe of the expensive Sand and Sky one, and it's fantastic!
It only comes in as a special offer a few times a year, but I highly recommend it. I've run out, and just waiting to pounce when it comes back out lol. It's like gold dust, if you can get your hands on it. The Ebay scalpers always grab them.
Their Lacura Caviar skincare range is bomb too. Day, night and eye cream, and their peeling/resurfacing mask in the range (it only needs to stay on for 2 mins).
I'm hoping you guys get them in Aldi the US. 💖🏴
Ty for the tip! I'll have to check out the Aldis near me, see if I find this at all.
Does Aldi have stores in the USA . Xx 🏴
@@lisalep Yep! Love our Aldis.
@@simplelittle wow I never knew that😁 lol I love Aldi too. Xx
@@lisalep Not sure where you are located, but I feel like (and I could be way off base!) Aldi elsewhere is a better store, but our Aldi are like the “cheap” or generic stores…but they’ve come a loooooooong way from when they first opened in the States. When they truly were “generic” and ultra cheap. But, they’ve always been a favorite of mine.
Your advent calendar series is always my favourite part of the year :D
2 seconds into the video and she dropped something lol. Classic Alexandria ❤
As a fellow klutz, I really appreciate that she includes when she does that.
Thats my life all day every day lol
I always chuckle when people say that serum in those glass dropper bottles look so fancy. They remind me of the hydrochloric acid droppers we use to test rocks in geology. 😂 🖤
🤣🤣
I honestly can’t wait to see the Dior calendar! I’m so curious!
Would love to see you unbox Jeffrey Stars new mystery boxs. Just to see if its worth peoples money! I love any videos you do, miss cooking with Alexander:(
I enjoy watching your Advent Calendar Unboxing. I really like some of the products in them and my all-time favorite one was the makeup brush and the eyeshadow palette at the end. Your reaction was so priceless at the end when you took out the eyeshadow palette and saw it.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year !!! When Alexandria reviews advent calendars! 😅
@Alexandria Ryan Lapland is in Finland, It is the most northern point. It is know for their vast subarctic wilderness, midnight sun and northern lights.
I watched this after your Chanel advent video and it’s night & day! 😂
I ordered this last year and loved it, as did a friend I sent the 2019 one to by accident (didn’t realize the Black Friday special was the previous year’s box). I was able to use a lot of it, except some of the make up and hair products (I’m biracial). They made great gifts. I ordered 3 this year for 2 friends and myself. One came around December 10, I cancelled the other 2 on Christmas Eve. 🤦🏽♀️
I don’t need it, anyway, Glossy kept sending me boxes to make up for late boxes, so I have too much product. Helped me give a lot of gift baskets. I think I got as much pleasure watching you enjoy it as I would have opening it myself.
BTW, other than regifting the pillowcase, you can use it for travel. I always take one with me and also keep one in my camper van. Great for skin and hair!
I have that wander palette, from an old ipsy. I only use the lightest shade as an inner corner highlight
I'm glad I got the uk one day 25 is the Huda Mercury retrograde palette so excited to open mine
THE GLOW RECIPE WATERMELON SLEEPING MASK IS EVERYTHING & it smells delicious🤤 😍
This video was so entertaining. I relate so hard to your sarcasm and sassy comments - to yourself and the box!! Can’t wait for the next 22+ boxes ☺️☺️
i ordered this calendar because of your review last year! im stoked to get it!
I saw Theresa is Dead open this calendar and when she got to the Wander Beauty I was like oh nooooooooo its coming for Alexandria😂
“Glamorously healthy… that is not me”
Solidarity 😂
Loving these advent calendar unboxings, but I don’t think I’d love them half as much if it weren’t for your personality! You make them so much fun ❤️
I already watched the first two Advent calendar unboxing but I'm gonna watch them again to have a mini Alex marathon.
Congratulations on your recent engagement!
Lapland is the northernmost region of Finland, home to the indigenous Sami people, also sometimes called Laplanders. So I bet that's a good hand cream, cuz if anybody knows how to deal with dry winter skin, I would imagine it's the people who live in the literal Arctic!😅
She often lets her stereotypical, privileged out the ass, entitled, clueless, white girl self come out and it came out In FULL FORCE when Lapland came up.
I ordered the Glossy Box Advent Calendar for my daughter. It came a week or so ago. I wanted her to open them all when the box came-but nope. She’s waiting and going to do it like a proper advent calendar! She has way more will power then myself.
I felt this was a great bargain with all the items and the beautiful display that they come in. Well done for the price.
Thanks for sharing! Now I get to see what’s inside early! 😉
Couldn't see your nails Alexandria...was blinded by DIAMONDS !!!! Lol. So happy for you guys.
Could I ask you what you use on your hair ? I’m having a problem with rapidly thinning hair and would love to know what you are using. Thanks.
I’m loving this series! ❤️
You should get a digital stich counter. They have ones that strap to your finger and you press a button to go up. That way you dont forget which one your on. Love your vids btw. It always makes me smile to see when youve uploaded
How hard can it be? Just look at the numbers and you can see which one you’re on. It worries me watching these videos and now I remember why I unsubscribed. No one can be this dumb. It’s seriously irritating.
@@alexandriav3956 honestly it reminds me of my own ADHD.... And I'm far from dumb
And why watch or comment?
I looked up sea lavender cause I wanted to know what it was and it's a just sub genus of Lavender that grow by the sea it seems lol it does look different in how the flowers bloom and grow too though also I always find you relatable and personable but today I just felt like I could really relate to you in this video I like that you leave in the realization you were wrong and feel like a person and not an 'influencer'.
Not trying to nitpick or anything but sea lavender isn't related to lavender. It's apart of the Limonium genus. Whoever gave it it's common name really wanted to mess with people I guess lol.
It’s so different from the UK one 😱.
I’m loving your videos 🤩
Oh, this one was awesome!!! I am by far an expert but when I use cream blush, which I have fallen in love with, I use a damp beauty blender and lightly tap it where I want it. It's so much better than powder (for me)!! ❤
The best calendar I've seen! BTW, I've tried so many makeup brands over the years and Wander has the best products I've ever used! Love ya❣️
Wander beauty stalking and finally finding you makes me think of the snail meme lol.
Happy calendar season!!!!! Thank you for these videos Alexandria!!!! Much love.
I love Flower Bomb! I just bought some and it's one of my absolute favorite perfumes, such a good item!!
Flower bomb is my favorite perfume as well.
Just watched the video- the Pink pillowcase will be great for when you travel. I always bring my own colorful pillowcase when I travel so I don’t forget it when I check out!
I was hoping you would do this one early, so I can see if it's actually worth buying, so thanks!!!
I almost got the huda beauty advent calendar for my bday which was the 15th but just ordered stuff I needed more off ulta. So I'm excited to see you open that one.
HAHAA I knew it was wander beauty!! Love your vids Alexandria!
This is my second video of yours that I’ve watched, and you are so entertaining. I didn’t expect to find you so funny and I loved that you kept in all products you dropped. You just got yourself a new subscriber.
I bought this one for my daughter so I’m so happy you unboxed this early! When you sprayed the hairspray I laughed out loud! You are adorable! Also I just noticed that I have been watching you for over a year and wasn’t subscribed! I fixed that today!
