Redeem your Starter Set for just $5 when you go to harrys.com/alexandriaryan Hi guys! So today I think we have a calendar that wont send me into a fit of rage! Or at least I hope not! Let me know what you guys think of this calendar! Love ya💖
Please Alexandria you have to plant that biodegradable piece of plastic, I'm sorry I don't know how to spell it and let us know what happens. Honestly I'm very interested. I'm a huge advocate for the reduction of the amount of plastics that are ending up in our landfills. It feels like we have taken an enormous step backwards and the biggest culprit is the over Packaging of children's toys not to mention the toys themselves. Sorry I got a little hippy dippy on you there. LOL how wonderful would it be if hemp was able to contribute to yet another healthy alternative to the planet.
Girl, I love your content. I ain't a fancy big city cinematographer but you might need to white balance. Then apply filters as needed but it can also be your lights. Hope this helps you on your "show the true colors" quest.
1- I absolutely LOVE this series 2- please, stop stressing yourself over these videos. You JUST got married, and JUST got home from your honeymoon. If you don’t get all 25 advent calendars done before Christmas, who cares!? Surely none of us. You are a person, and deserve to be happy, and have fun. If you are constantly stressing over getting these videos out, you’ll burn out, and hate doing these videos. Please, take care of yourself first, and we’ll all be here when you post 💜 Congratulations again on getting married, I wish you both peace, love, happiness, and good health
YES! I thought she'd been curling it for wedding hair tests or something, or this was left over from after the wedding do, and thought it was super pretty and flattering! Alexandria, you should absolutely leave it natural more often, it's gorgeous!
Yes it looks so much better than the frizzy straight hair she normally has . I know she does that because of her super thin hair and hair loss, but this way looks WAY HEALTHIER.
Well, I mean, I guess it makes sense. She always said she liked her hair frizzy because it made it look thicker, and if you brush curly hair, it does get frizzy. So now that she's conditioning it more (and hopefully combing instead of brushing), we get to see her beautiful healthy, natural curls.
It took me until I was 30 to embrace having curly hair. Now I almost always keep it natural. I hope Alex does the same. She looks so nice with wavy hair.
In regards to the Triple Threat Mascara: “It doesn’t tell me what the three threats are. I’m going to assume they are like lengthening, volume, and…blackmail.” 😂😂😂
I have autoimmune disorder hair loss, and I recenty tried a sample of the Christophe Robin scalp scrub. I was also afraid it might cause even more clumps to fall out in the shower than usual, but it wasn't a problem, and the scrub did a nice job of relieving dry scalp itch.
Yes - I do too - psoriasis that crept into my scalp. The day I washed my hair and found pretty much every strand from a certain area of my head in my hands honestly traumatized me. That was about 2.5 years ago, and since then, I've learned the value of scalp scrubs. They clear out excess skin cells (which, obviously, I have far too many of) to make room for new hair to grow. Amazing!!!
@@lauriefaber6627 Really? I'm scared that I'll lose more hair. I bought a wig a couple of months ago and....it just looks so odd on me that I've never worn it out. I have an autoimmune they can't identify.
@@BlackWidow00741 buy yourself a good wig if you must go to a black owned beauty shop and they will greatly help you in finding a good wig that won’t look weird. I personally use wigs once in a blue moon which I go for the kind that you can lace up to tighten up around your head, wear a wig cap to hold all your hair after you put in small braids* of course and I also go for human hair.. Otherwise if you don’t follow these steps and go for a cheap wig of course it’s going to look bad no matter what you do…
No matter what a calendar is like (and this one was actually okay), the video ends on a lovely note because we get to see your dogs enjoying their own advent calendar. I think that’s a win. 💖
I got the Rituals advent calendar last year & it was 100% worth it! The box itself was a decoration, almost all of the products were decently sized & we even got to give the things we didn't think we'd use away as gifts that same holiday season! I would definitely get another one, but I'll probably wait until I've gone thru the products from last year's haha but I remember really liking the Ayurveda scent too 🤭
Don't stress yourself out finishing these advent calendars before Christmas. Enjoy your new married life. We will still watch you unbox them months after Christmas. Your beautiful personality is what keeps us watching. Btw your hair looks incredible this way! It looks so healthy and thicker, which I know is something you stress about. Love your videos. Thank you for keeping us entertained ❤️
The facial vibrating cleansers really do make a huge difference for me! I had adult acne for years until I switched to using a foreo Luna 2 and soroci skincare
I have a PMD one. It really makes a difference in my psoriasis patches on my face. I don’t use it everyday, only a couple times a week. But it does help.
I swear! If this isn’t a great box we need to wrap it up and try again in 2023!! 😂😂 This one wasn’t bad!! At least there was value. It almost reminded me of a subscription box with lots of items in it, which….I guess that’s what we want! I’d just like to see a beauty box do a Christmas calendar properly!
It has become a tradition to watch all your videos with my 3 month old daughter. The way she focuses on the screen when she hears you talking makes me smile.
Could I please request that you do a final shot of all the items together at the end? It would give everyone a better idea of everything you received overall. Plus that's my favorite thing to do when I go shopping 😂😭..just seeing my bounty at the end.
I recently purchased an advent calendar from “The Body Shop” in Australia. They have 3 different coloured calendars. One with sample sizes, one with a mix of full size and sample size and one with only full size. Value for money is fantastic! It’s all bath/body/shower/skincare products. Highly recommend for next year if you can buy them in the USA :)
The hair scrub is hands down the best!! I had gotten one from FabFitFun for the winter box this year same brand as the one you just got and I use it at least once a week to strip my hair of all the products I use because I have intense natural curly hair. From pricing that product alone I know the retail value is pretty up there but totally worth trying it’s not to hard on your hair in terms of making it fall out! And the feeling on the scalp is worth it 110%
I have super thin hair and have used Christophe Robin products in the past and I loved them!! I had their volume boosting shampoo scrub thing and I would’ve kept repurchasing if it wasn’t so gosh darn expensive. Just thought I would share since you voiced your concerns about it!! Love your videos 💕💕
Same here! I have thin/very fine hair, that scrub is lovely but pricey. Awesome that they do the big size in this advent calendar. I got a daily hair cream of theirs in an allure box, it smelled beyond incredible! Sandalwood was mentioned on the bottle, I wish they sold it in an oil diffuser. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
my timing recently has been impeccable, I was literally just watching the look fantastic advent unboxing from last year when I got the notification for this vid!
Whenever I get on here and see that you’ve uploaded one of these advent calendars videos I feel like it’s Christmas morning! Makes my workout so much less miserable😂😂😂 you’re a hero!
I think the layout of that box was nice and the value was great. I think it would be a fabulous gift for someone that doesn’t get subscription boxes…and maybe even if you do. I loved that candle. It was cute.
I’m 48 yrs old and I just learned that I have KP from watching your channel. My whole life, I had no idea what was wrong with my skin… despite the dermatologists I’ve been to (they never told me!) so I really want to thank you for that. I honestly thought I was the only one, well, my mom and I were the only ones who had this. Thank u for letting me know I’m not some weird freak like I always thought! ❤❤❤
Alexandria, i have tried that scrub, if it's the salt one, and it's amazing. It's so gentle and your hair is so clean afterwards. Also the innocence on the box of the 25th. That's why I love watching you. The PMD is 100€.
Hey everyone it's 1.49 am here in Britain yet I still clicked sooo fast when the notification came up lol who needs sleep right? Lol hey Ally can't wait to see what you have for us today 😁
Omg, girl, THAT is your natural hair!??? 😍😍😍 And here I thought you have it all extra done up for the video as practice for your wedding!!! Girl you have gorgeous hair!!!
I actually love those warming eye masks, although I don't know that specific brand. Generally, though, they work very well to relax all the tiny muscles around m6 eyes and into my forehead - I spend too much time on my computer, and end up with tension headaches and eyestrain. These have made a difference, and I would recommend giving it a shot! (I will say, if you're prone to dry eyes or have medical concerns, possibly give it a pass.)
Oh sweet! Maybe they would help with my migraines then! I sometimes use Vicks on my temples for a warming and then cooling effect, but it doesn't cover as much area as I would like, and sometimes makes my eyes burn.
I personally really like cleansing oils over balms, but it has to be the right one. My favorite is the Innistree Hydrating cleansing oil, I have super dry skin and I love that one. I use duochromes and stuff that's hard to get off, and that one always gets everything off for me🙌
I don't know if anyone has said this but mascara originally came in a cake and you were supposed to use a stiff brush or spooling to apply it. It also could be used as eyeliner and for brows. It eventually came in a tube sometime in the 20th century so now we have more options!
I personally enjoyed this one. It didn't repeat itself from last year and the value definitely was there especially since I had a coupon code. I do wish there was more makeup but skincare is where the high priced items come from and I weirdly enjoy skincare roulette XD At least there were no stickers, hair bobbles, charms, coupons or packets containing a single vitamin in this one. Would I get it again? If next year's spoilers are as good as this or better? Definitely.
There were repeats from the 2022 sub boxes in here but also some items that weren't. In 2017 they were all repeats from that years sub boxes. I havent bought an advent from them since but I have so much stuff to use first. But maybe thats the same with most of us.
@Lola Ensley-Blankenship I don't get their sub box (I'd had Ipsy & Boxy up til Feb & none of these were in those subs) but I love treating myself to one of these calendars. This one seemed like the best bang for my buck as my mum say - and out of all I've seen so far I think the only other good one this year is Glossybox.
Just an FYI if you didn't know but Look Fantastic and Glossybox are owned by the same company called the Hut Group. This occurred a couple years ago. So sometimes I see overlap. I didn't care for GB and all their bs of bait and switch so I stopped it after a year. I love LF even on their ok boxes. If you only get their advent calendar you should be fine. Enjoy the rest of the holiday season.
My daughter and I watch your advent calenders every year. To the point this year she wanted one. Thankfully she is 6 and is happy with not expensive ones.
You know I have nothing better to do when I get to actually see your vids the minute they’re posted. Was waiting on this calendar. Also I saw the sephora advent calendar that they got in the UK and it was amazing compared to the US one. Perfect video to end the night when I’m not feeling well. These are my fav vids of yours. Hope you’re doing great 💜
Oh wow I wonder if she'd ever be interested in buying both and comparing 🤔 I'd love to see that!!! I never thought about them having different types of advent calendars for different places
Before I even watch, I'm so relieved that therw is an unboxing video waiting for me. I cannot explain the service you provide, other than to say that my day is complete if I get to see your video at the end of my day. You are such a bright light! Thank you for being here!
The Ordinary serum is a HA that is amazing at improving skins clarity and will help with correcting your skins texture. I use alot of products from this brand and they all actually work and I can see a huge difference. Especially if I run out and use another brand.
I really enjoy how she remembers how BAD the calendar’s value is but can’t even remember how much she paid for them. Like, that’s when you know a calendar is BAD.
Yesss that’s my floral scented struggle!! I immigrated to the us and here, jasmine, rose all sorts of flowers smell different! Turns out there are different strains and species with different scents but it really messed me up when I first discovered it
Same! I have a lavendar pillow spray that doesn't smell like any other lavendar I can find. It's like....lighter? And less chemically? I wish I knew what strain it was 😭
I don't think this was a $600 value, but still definitely a good value for the price. Better than most of the other boxes. I also haven't seen a Chanel advent calendar pop up for this year. Must be they were too ashamed to put out another one?
I love watching all your videos and if we are still doing advent calendars in January then I’m here for it lol Congratulations on your wedding and holiday. I hope we will get to see some pictures and hear about your adventures while on holiday. Also I love your natural curls. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out ❤
Can you please create the perfect advent calendar out of items you have from other calendars? I think these beauty companies need a how to, and a refresher on what is a good value!
Girl the fact that I'm watching this video almost a month after Christmas is the living proof that most of us here for your sense of humor rather than the unboxing itself.
Just started the video, but I am really liking how day 25 is one of the biggest doors! Like they are actually gonna give you something special at the end! Edit: OH the soap brow trend uses actual soap! I can't imagine just having soap on my face all day, that sounds super irritating. But brands sell like little tins of soap for brows now.
Alexandria, a box to open wthout using tools! I've seen unboxing of this calendar and I think you will love it. I got the same diffuser in the Ritual calendar and I didn't smell any rose. Enjoy! Have a. wonderful, fantastic holiday! Just had to say it. Love ya ❤🌲❤
That Christopher Robin scalp scrub is AMAZING! I have very fine, curly hair and it leaves my scalp feeling clean, but not stripped. I only use it maybe once a month, but I do highly recommend it! A nice, clean, hydrated scalp helps with hair volume, too!
Try dermalogica precleanse. It totally takes everything off... even eye makeup. You put the least amount of the cleansing oil into your dry skin and smear it everywhere to remove makeup. Including over and around the eyes. It'll make a big gross colored mess on your face but..... after you've thoroughly rubbed it all over then you dampen your hands and wet your face and scrub again. You'll notice it emulsify (turn whitish) and this is the oil lifting ask the makeup from the surface of the skin. Then after emulsifying, rinse off and do your second cleanse with your favorite facial cleanser.
I don't think I've ever clicked a link on a sponsored video but I totally did for Harry's and I'm pretty excited about it! But then... you demonstrated the settings on the face scrubber and I almost died laughing! That was a perfect way to describe what they are and you had me rolling🤣🤣🤣 The advent calender videos have to be some of my most favorite! You're totally right that so many companies just butcher the whole point of how they should work! This one was one of the best so far! Thank you as always!! ❤
I personally think this is a great calendar, its been one of the best that you have oppened this year. And the products are actually nice and full size not just "delux" products. The last two are great, I love the ordinary and the fact that its a full size. And girl, the vibrating thing, good, great... have fun hahaha
Be awesome to see you put together your favorite things for advent calendar, use one of those fancy boxes with the drawers lol. Love your videos👍😁 I look forward to these calendar boxes all year.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ALEXANDRIA FOR DAY #22!! My husband has had this skin condition on the back of his arms and shoulder blades for years now(he's always in the mirror trying to "pop" them). I told him it was sum sort of skin condition but it drove him crazy not knowing what it was. And when Alexandria opened day 22, it all just clicked! I Googled KP Bumps - Images and BAM! There it was! So thanks so much girl for helping us figure out wat kinda skin condition my hubby has! 👍😁🙏 Now ur gunna have ta share with me what you do to treat urs.. 🙂
I see a brown plum color for the eyeshadow. Try running the spritzer under very hot water. I love these every year! Take care of yourself! Happy Holidays!
1st congratulations on your marriage 2nd your hair looks beautiful 3rd love the advent calendars 4th it looks purple 5th but not least love your posts ❤
Your advent calendar openings are one of my favorite parts of the holiday season! Thank you for the amazing content! Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous💗
20:39 matcha is just a specific type of green tea (a very concentrated, powdered form), it’s unnecessary to add green tea after it but if someone is unfamiliar with what matcha is, it might be helpful to specify that it’s a type of green tea I suppose 🤔

Hi guys! So today I think we have a calendar that wont send me into a fit of rage! Or at least I hope not! Let me know what you guys think of this calendar! Love ya💖
Your naturally curly hair looks amazing!!! It looks fuller too.
Please Alexandria you have to plant that biodegradable piece of plastic, I'm sorry I don't know how to spell it and let us know what happens. Honestly I'm very interested. I'm a huge advocate for the reduction of the amount of plastics that are ending up in our landfills. It feels like we have taken an enormous step backwards and the biggest culprit is the over Packaging of children's toys not to mention the toys themselves. Sorry I got a little hippy dippy on you there. LOL how wonderful would it be if hemp was able to contribute to yet another healthy alternative to the planet.
Girl, I love your content. I ain't a fancy big city cinematographer but you might need to white balance. Then apply filters as needed but it can also be your lights. Hope this helps you on your "show the true colors" quest.
Man I just spent $42 on a new razor called something, I can’t remember now and I don’t wanna get up lol.
Lady, your natural hair is incredible! Never straighten it again. It's gorgeous.
1- I absolutely LOVE this series
2- please, stop stressing yourself over these videos. You JUST got married, and JUST got home from your honeymoon. If you don’t get all 25 advent calendars done before Christmas, who cares!?

Congratulations again on getting married, I wish you both peace, love, happiness, and good health
Plus it’s fun having them after Christmas 😊
I would watch them all year around honestly.
Tbh if she makes these videos into June, imma still watch
@@Maddym365 ikr? It’s like playing with the gifts you get after Christmas. Also the fact that a lot of them are only 12 days anyway
Can we get a Xmas Pic of the dress ???
I can't believe you're hair is naturally wavy like that and you never told us. It looks amazing
IKR I love her hair like this.
YES! I thought she'd been curling it for wedding hair tests or something, or this was left over from after the wedding do, and thought it was super pretty and flattering!

😂😂😂
If I could get a mascara to handle all the blackmailing on my to-do list, that would really free some "me time." 😂
😂😂😂😂
Sounds like the real threat is getting it in your eye lol
I actually laughed out loud at the one!
I was thinking it was the mascara will lure you, trip you, then take your wallet?
YES please bury the hemp plastic and dig it up next season to see if it had degraded any. 🤔🎄❣️
YEAH! Good idea!
Yes please!!
Yeah!
I love how even after multiple awful calendars, you're still hopeful for one to not be awful. I need your positivity in my life 😂

Good to know- I’ll send some to my sister, her hair’s starting to grow back after chemo.
@BlackWidow take the wig and get it cut to you while wearing it. That will help make it look more natural.
Are we absolutely certain day 25 is a facial scrubber? I can’t be the only person who’s mind went to the gutter😂
when she first put it on the table, with the look she had I thought she had put it somewhere else.
@@ninirossau2304 Same 😂I came to the comments section to make sure it wasn't just me that thought that, so thank you!
Girl! Those curls are 🔥! They make your hair look so much fuller and are darling on you!
That Christophe Robin sea salt shampoo is one of my grails. It really cleans the grease off my hair. That jug was like almost $100 too!
I got this calendar and I’m just in love with that shampoo. My hair has never felt better, I’d genuinely consider buying it once I run out
When Christmas is over wren and tater are gonna be like “where those nightly treats from that box?”🐶🐶
Bark box or some other pet subscription box will be fun for them.
@@DinkyInky2 that would be cool and then extra wren and tater footage occasionally would be so cute!
I love how Tater tries to dig open the calendar and Wren just sits there in his old man sweater, like "Not cool, bro." They're so adorable!
Your advent calendar reviews are what I look forward to 👏 EVERY 👏 DANG 👏 YEAR!
Same
The PMD... on the table... was the highlight of my day! Love you sweet girl
I think this is the first calendar of the year on your channel that isn't automatically a disappointment
No matter what a calendar is like (and this one was actually okay), the video ends on a lovely note because we get to see your dogs enjoying their own advent calendar. I think that’s a win. 💖
If she compiled the puppy calendar bits into one video at the end of the season, I'd have it on repeat. They're adorable.💞😻

I've been overly worried about not feeling in the "Holiday Spirit" lately as I grow older, but these videos... they put me in the holiday spirit.
Omg day 25 killed me because that cleanser thingy seems like it's marketed as the wrong thing. 😂😂😂
I was thinking the same especially with those different modes 😂💀
When she started testing it in the table I seriously died lol😂😂
"Ooh ENDOWED!" At the candle had me chuckling so hard 😂
The facial vibrating cleansers really do make a huge difference for me! I had adult acne for years until I switched to using a foreo Luna 2 and soroci skincare

That scalp shampoo is incredible! My stylist used it on me a few months ago and I've been hooked ever since!

It looked like a very dark rosy color, so dark brick totally tracks.
Never have I ever clicked so fast
Yay! I calendar that wasn’t full of complete rubbish!!! I adore the end of these with the puppers going for the goodies! ❤
I’ll happily watch these advent calendar video’s regardless how close we are to Christmas! Don’t worry girl your personality draws us in !!
Girl your hair’s looking amazing!!! Finally a better calendar 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
my timing recently has been impeccable, I was literally just watching the look fantastic advent unboxing from last year when I got the notification for this vid!
The puppy babies always seem to like their calendar so precious
It's been a hard day, so having this bright spot makes it a bit better. Thanks for putting yourself through this.
Seeing Ren in his little sweater just made my day.
Ren is just so stinkin adorable in his sweater

I don’t know what you’ve done differently to your hair but I’m LOVING and living for it!! It really flatters you so well! 😍😍
I really like your natural texture, the curls are really pretty Ontop of that the slightly wet look suits you, or maybe it's just super shiny!

Love the hair! You should wear it like that more often! So pretty! And you videos bring me a ton of joy every time I watch them!
I actually love those warming eye masks, although I don't know that specific brand. Generally, though, they work very well to relax all the tiny muscles around m6 eyes and into my forehead - I spend too much time on my computer, and end up with tension headaches and eyestrain. These have made a difference, and I would recommend giving it a shot! (I will say, if you're prone to dry eyes or have medical concerns, possibly give it a pass.)
Oh sweet! Maybe they would help with my migraines then! I sometimes use Vicks on my temples for a warming and then cooling effect, but it doesn't cover as much area as I would like, and sometimes makes my eyes burn.
I personally really like cleansing oils over balms, but it has to be the right one. My favorite is the Innistree Hydrating cleansing oil, I have super dry skin and I love that one. I use duochromes and stuff that's hard to get off, and that one always gets everything off for me🙌
I don't know if anyone has said this but mascara originally came in a cake and you were supposed to use a stiff brush or spooling to apply it. It also could be used as eyeliner and for brows. It eventually came in a tube sometime in the 20th century so now we have more options!
I personally enjoyed this one. It didn't repeat itself from last year and the value definitely was there especially since I had a coupon code.
I do wish there was more makeup but skincare is where the high priced items come from and I weirdly enjoy skincare roulette XD
At least there were no stickers, hair bobbles, charms, coupons or packets containing a single vitamin in this one. Would I get it again? If next year's spoilers are as good as this or better? Definitely.
There were repeats from the 2022 sub boxes in here but also some items that weren't. In 2017 they were all repeats from that years sub boxes. I havent bought an advent from them since but I have so much stuff to use first. But maybe thats the same with most of us.
@Lola Ensley-Blankenship I don't get their sub box (I'd had Ipsy & Boxy up til Feb & none of these were in those subs) but I love treating myself to one of these calendars. This one seemed like the best bang for my buck as my mum say - and out of all I've seen so far I think the only other good one this year is Glossybox.
Just an FYI if you didn't know but Look Fantastic and Glossybox are owned by the same company called the Hut Group. This occurred a couple years ago. So sometimes I see overlap. I didn't care for GB and all their bs of bait and switch so I stopped it after a year. I love LF even on their ok boxes. If you only get their advent calendar you should be fine. Enjoy the rest of the holiday season.
The browish purple is pretty. It's nice to see a happy box. Bury that hemp I'd love to see you dig it up next Christmas boxing season
That first aid beauty scrub is amazing. Totally eliminated the KP on my arms. Also, that pink thing is absolutely a sex toy 😂
I think this is one of the best Advent Calendars I have seen so far this year. Thanks for sharing!
A Buzz Buzz Toy for the final day is the greatest thing I've ever seen 😜
My daughter and I watch your advent calenders every year. To the point this year she wanted one. Thankfully she is 6 and is happy with not expensive ones.
You know I have nothing better to do when I get to actually see your vids the minute they’re posted. Was waiting on this calendar. Also I saw the sephora advent calendar that they got in the UK and it was amazing compared to the US one. Perfect video to end the night when I’m not feeling well. These are my fav vids of yours. Hope you’re doing great 💜
Oh wow I wonder if she'd ever be interested in buying both and comparing 🤔 I'd love to see that!!! I never thought about them having different types of advent calendars for different places
@@krystinaxxlea she wouldn't be able to get the one from the UK unfortunately. They don't sell that version in the US.
Look Fantastic is a British box so you might be able to get it. It would just take longer.
I don't think it's available online anymore. I called several Sephora stores they were also all out
@@sharonharris9782 she can't order it on their website? Just because she is in the US doesn't mean she can't order things from over seas
This one is my favorite so far this season. Loving the natural hair.
Before I even watch, I'm so relieved that therw is an unboxing video waiting for me. I cannot explain the service you provide, other than to say that my day is complete if I get to see your video at the end of my day. You are such a bright light! Thank you for being here!
I'm mad I missed the Ulta caboodle. It was 29.99 marked to 19.99 with 31 items. Looked better then the advent calendar
The Ordinary serum is a HA that is amazing at improving skins clarity and will help with correcting your skins texture. I use alot of products from this brand and they all actually work and I can see a huge difference. Especially if I run out and use another brand.
I really enjoy how she remembers how BAD the calendar’s value is but can’t even remember how much she paid for them. Like, that’s when you know a calendar is BAD.
Yesss that’s my floral scented struggle!! I immigrated to the us and here, jasmine, rose all sorts of flowers smell different! Turns out there are different strains and species with different scents but it really messed me up when I first discovered it
Same! I have a lavendar pillow spray that doesn't smell like any other lavendar I can find. It's like....lighter? And less chemically? I wish I knew what strain it was 😭
I don't think this was a $600 value, but still definitely a good value for the price. Better than most of the other boxes. I also haven't seen a Chanel advent calendar pop up for this year. Must be they were too ashamed to put out another one?
I love watching all your videos and if we are still doing advent calendars in January then I’m here for it lol Congratulations on your wedding and holiday. I hope we will get to see some pictures and hear about your adventures while on holiday. Also I love your natural curls. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out ❤
Can you please create the perfect advent calendar out of items you have from other calendars? I think these beauty companies need a how to, and a refresher on what is a good value!
Girl the fact that I'm watching this video almost a month after Christmas is the living proof that most of us here for your sense of humor rather than the unboxing itself.
Girl! They gave you a vibrator for xmas! 🤣🤣🤣 idc what anyone say, the face doesn't need all them settings!! 😅😅😅
The doggos were particularly precious today 🥰
Just started the video, but I am really liking how day 25 is one of the biggest doors! Like they are actually gonna give you something special at the end!
Edit: OH the soap brow trend uses actual soap! I can't imagine just having soap on my face all day, that sounds super irritating. But brands sell like little tins of soap for brows now.
WeI personally think this calendar is wayyyy better in value than others that you've opened this year. Def worth the buy. 😊😊
Ummmmmm...... That "face" vibrator. With the patterns? Yeah. They knew what they were doing there. That was their Christmas present to you.
Hahahah we posted nearly the same thing at the same time!!
The best part is the puppies at the end. They are adorable. Their advent calendar is the best of all.
Alexandria, a box to open wthout using tools! I've seen unboxing of this calendar and I think you will love it. I got the same diffuser in the Ritual calendar and I didn't smell any rose. Enjoy! Have a. wonderful, fantastic holiday! Just had to say it. Love ya ❤🌲❤
That Christopher Robin scalp scrub is AMAZING! I have very fine, curly hair and it leaves my scalp feeling clean, but not stripped. I only use it maybe once a month, but I do highly recommend it! A nice, clean, hydrated scalp helps with hair volume, too!
Your natural hair with those waves is absolutely gorgeous! You should wear your hair like that all the time.
Matcha uses different leaves from the usual green teas and it's ground down too. So it's a different way of growing, serving and preparing the tea
Try dermalogica precleanse. It totally takes everything off... even eye makeup.
You put the least amount of the cleansing oil into your dry skin and smear it everywhere to remove makeup. Including over and around the eyes. It'll make a big gross colored mess on your face but..... after you've thoroughly rubbed it all over then you dampen your hands and wet your face and scrub again. You'll notice it emulsify (turn whitish) and this is the oil lifting ask the makeup from the surface of the skin. Then after emulsifying, rinse off and do your second cleanse with your favorite facial cleanser.
I don't think I've ever clicked a link on a sponsored video but I totally did for Harry's and I'm pretty excited about it! But then... you demonstrated the settings on the face scrubber and I almost died laughing! That was a perfect way to describe what they are and you had me rolling🤣🤣🤣 The advent calender videos have to be some of my most favorite! You're totally right that so many companies just butcher the whole point of how they should work! This one was one of the best so far! Thank you as always!! ❤
Omg! That's your natural hair?!?! You have the most dreamy curls. They are so pretty.
This should be a great calendar. I love their monthly beauty subscription boxes. Quality items.
The highlight of my day is watching the babies open their advent calendar at the end of every video 😊❤
OK I completely LOST it when she started with face cleaning tool!😂🤣😂 I swear girl you are so funny sometimes! I just absolutely adore you!❤
I personally think this is a great calendar, its been one of the best that you have oppened this year. And the products are actually nice and full size not just "delux" products. The last two are great, I love the ordinary and the fact that its a full size. And girl, the vibrating thing, good, great... have fun hahaha
Be awesome to see you put together your favorite things for advent calendar, use one of those fancy boxes with the drawers lol. Love your videos👍😁 I look forward to these calendar boxes all year.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ALEXANDRIA FOR DAY #22!! My husband has had this skin condition on the back of his arms and shoulder blades for years now(he's always in the mirror trying to "pop" them). I told him it was sum sort of skin condition but it drove him crazy not knowing what it was. And when Alexandria opened day 22, it all just clicked! I Googled KP Bumps - Images and BAM! There it was! So thanks so much girl for helping us figure out wat kinda skin condition my hubby has! 👍😁🙏 Now ur gunna have ta share with me what you do to treat urs.. 🙂
I see a brown plum color for the eyeshadow. Try running the spritzer under very hot water. I love these every year! Take care of yourself! Happy Holidays!
1st congratulations on your marriage
2nd your hair looks beautiful
3rd love the advent calendars
4th it looks purple
5th but not least love your posts ❤
Your advent calendar openings are one of my favorite parts of the holiday season! Thank you for the amazing content! Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous💗
20:39 matcha is just a specific type of green tea (a very concentrated, powdered form), it’s unnecessary to add green tea after it but if someone is unfamiliar with what matcha is, it might be helpful to specify that it’s a type of green tea I suppose 🤔
For the scalp scrub - you can use that as a body scrub, too, if you don't want to use it on your scalp
