The "BEST ADVENT CALENDAR EVER" or NOT?! Over $600 Value! | P.louise Advent Calendar 2023 Unboxing 

Hey guys! So I have heard that this is the BEST advent calendar EVER and I have been so excited to unbox it! This is FOR SURE my favorite advent calendar this year so far and I think it definitely has a chance or taking that title! But what do you guys think about this being the BEST EVER?? Let me know what you think! Love ya💖

The fact that there was NOT ONE sample size or mini 0.1 oz squeeze tube already is a step up. The fact it is ALL *full sized* items.... Well done.

OMG!! Not a sticker, hair tie, or face sheet mask in sight!!! I think that P. Louise just won Advent Season!!

Full size items!?….MULTIPLE in one box?!? Almost a FULL FACE?!?! This is what a makeup advent calendar should be! And shocker it didn’t have to cost $500-$1000 to be that good. They killed it! 👏👏👏😌💕

This is an advent calendar that a working makeup artist could buy for themself and not feel guilty. Great for using on a range of skintones for a range of looks.

Not even 7 min in and its 100% better than any of the other makeup calendars! P. Louise just winning the advent calendar game!

My guess for their thinking about putting most of the makeup products early in the calendar is that if you're opening this throughout December it gives you a lot of time to actually get maximum use of it over the holiday party season.

If I were ever going to blow $300 on an advent calendar, this would be the brand I purchase from! The details are so adorable and the ahades are actually wearable!!

They did what no one else can do…. They gave us 25 FULL SIZE items!!! Way to go P Louise!!

I think we need to do a full face using this advent calendar! I'm loving this one

In the roughly 5-6 years I've been watching Advent calendar unboxings, this is by far the best makeup Advent calendar I've seen from any brand. If I were one to wear makeup on a daily or even a several days a week basis I would so buy this calendar for myself.

The PACKAGING alone would make this the best calendar ever. The continual full sizes were amazing. 😍

Their lip pencils are $22 each on their site. They included 5 in one day!

Whoa - Safe to say the bar has been raised! My main thoughts throughout this whole video was that this calendar so accurately exposes the crazy mark ups in the cosmetic industry. Even with the higher price point, the sheer amount of quality items, coupled with high production value really highlights how shamelessly other brands rip off the consumer.

P Louise started as a makeup academy, and still is. The products are geared towards professional makeup kits and versatility for a range of looks and tones without needing a bunch of different products. That’s why you tend to see bigger palettes offered. Which is always a treat for individual consumers!

Wow, just WOW! P. Louise has topped the advent calendar game! Not a sample size or mini squeezy tube in sight and the packaging?! OMG! The fact that you got that whole SET of brushes and PALETTES of eyeshadows, blushes and bronzers, WITH tools and product to go with it, not to mention 6 lip liners and so much more is just unheard of with these advent calendars. Kylie, Sephora or Ulta could NEVER!!! Bravo... Bravo!❤👏🎄

P. Louise is setting a very high bar for all the other beauty advent calendars. This is the best advent calendar ive seen so far. The whole thing is adorable and great products.

I LOVE how inclusive their colors are, especially for people of color. This really is a great advent calendar for a huge variety of skin tones. I'm so impressed that they gave so many different colors in so many palettes.

Dobbelt tap over the heart with the PL inside and over the 3th window at the other side, where it says EMPIRE. The windows on both sides should light up - I just learned that today myself 😄

You could pay Sephora $5000 and there still wouldn't be as much make-up.

I don't like super "girly" pink stuff but I *love* P. Louise's packaging! It's really cute and fun but also well made and a little bit elevated with the layering and the lights and everything. Plus the products are *actually* good?! This is how brands should do advent calendars!

So what I’m hearing you say, is if I save up $37.33 a month from now until August, then I’ll have just enough by the time the preorder rolls around for 2024! 😂😅❤️ This really is one of the best and most unique advent boxes. I also love the packaging! It’s the cutest!

UK standard shipping for PLouise is £2 (USD $2.54). Costs a fortune to send parcels abroad!

The packaging is SO cute, and the number of products is outstanding. The level of excitement you showed while opening each day is what other companies should aspire to deliver. Also, P Louise has one of the few advent calendars with 25 days, so you actually have something to open on Christmas Day.

This one gives the old ‘Eloise at the Plaza’ vibes to me lol. It’s adorable & I love how much they put into it

P. Louise is really carrying the entire make up industry right now. Making people as excited and inspired as we were in 2016!

I like to think the “Advent Calendar Department” of P.Louis saw your videos last year and said “Challenge accepted!! There will be NO stickers!” And the packaging makes the product just feel more luxurious and special, more of a “treat” than “just” lipstick, ya know? So I’d actually buy this one!!! Keep the goodies then give the “house” to my daughter; she would LOVE it!!!! I’m SO sorry you hurt yourself!!!! At least it was for a good reason? Pizza is a good reason.

I don’t buy advent calendars because they always disappoint. I would buy this one next year and I don’t even wear that much makeup! This is just so much fun, and exciting how could you not love it!

I don't see how this can be topped. P. Louise hand down won Advent season. Everything was so cute and usable. Thanks for sharing! I hope your tongue feels better soon. You look beautiful as always.

I know you said others think the packaging is too much, but I LOVE it! Like you, I am a sucker for packaging and I love how absolutely cute everything is. There is sparkle and crowns...wow! A company that actually puts a lot of effort into their advent calendar instead of just throwing a bunch of crap in a box and ta-da! I totally loved this box and wish I could afford it. Thank you so much for getting it so we could live vicariously through you!

Hallelujah! 🎉 it’s finally happened. A calendar thats actually worth it. Thank you for sharing and restoring faith in the 2023 season. 🎉

This advent calendar is what ALL advent calendars should aspire to be like! P. Louise just killed it with this one 🎉 they definitely won the advent calendar game! Fun video to watch 😊 enjoy!

Yes, the things inside were exclusive to this advent calendar and not sold seperately. And now the advent calendar is gone from the website and I wish I had grabbed it 😢

My cousin walked out the door to for opening day of buck season in her most stylish camo and yep, "hunting vest orange" eyeshadow with full eyelashes. She always gets made fun of by our hillbilly family, and she always gets the first deer. 😂

This is how you do it! I would appreciate a more affordable version (maybe a $100 12 day?) but this was worth the price, unlike most advents these days.

Unbelievable how much value in this Calendar. Definitely worth the $300 And a little girl would love to play Barbies with the House.❤

Wow I am blown away by the P. Louise advent calendar! A genuinely great value AND beautifully packaged. The fact that they matched the packaging of their products to the calendar is just so extra and I am living for it. This is a company that wanted to impress the recipients of the calendar.

Honestly I think it's going to be hard to beat this calendar. So beautiful!!!

I don't think I have ever seen you so happy after an advent unboxing LOL

That was an awesome calendar. As a kid, I would have been begging for the box for a Barbie house! LOL

Now THAT is what an Advent calendar is supposed to be! Excitement, anticipation, enjoyment and the feeling that you are getting value! With the last day the star of the show (and 25 days too)! And it really was a great variety of the company’s products too (but you didn’t feel you were getting the left overs or products that they couldn’t sell, you felt you were getting wonderful items curated especially for you!). I have never heard of this company but if I got that Advent calendar, I would be a customer for life! Other companies should take notes!

This is absolutely how advent calendars should be done!!! Sooo many products and so much of it is usable and adorable!

Now THAT'S how you do an advent calendar! Great design on the calendar, full sized products (love the multiple items for 1 day, like the brushes & lip liners), good variety & you can definitely see the value. I'm impressed with P. Louise!

P Louise’s calendar is A+++. So much better than so many of our US calendars. P Louise’s packaging is always top notch too..they always go above and beyond your expectations. Love their brand!

I lost my Mom in July and I wasn’t looking forward to the holidays but these advent calendar videos help make it better. Thank you Alexandria! ♥️

I ordered this advent calendar too. It's supposed to be full of exclusive & unreleased items that are in the advent calendar. This video gets me really excited because my calendar hasn't got here yet & i can't wait to open it. Hopefully it arrives soon 😀

Imagine that - a whole calendar full of really nice full-size items. It is beautiful.

It seems P Louise wanted to make an inclusive calendar that covered as many skin tones as possible so gave a bounty of items and options ❤

A makeup Advent calendar that actually has makeup in it! Scary did hell freeze over?

If you want a break from the advents you should do a full face with some of the things you got in this calendar! I want to see that first highlighter in action ☺️

The tones and shades that this calendar added really showed their efforts to cover all skin tones. I appreciate that. It’s not an easy process but it is something that takes care and effort and this company did it!!!

I'm already in love with this advent calendar just by the light-up castle box alone... and with all the wonderfully packaged and designed FULL-SIZE items?! It's honestly worth the $300+, especially given the price of P. Louise products. 💖

This is by far my fave cLendar you've ever opened. The attention to detail, the size of the products, the double products in one day, and can we talk about that brush set?! Amazing! Just wish I could afford it lmao

Anyone else crying at "12 full size blushes"? That's definitely 8 🤣🤣🤣

This might be the best one of this year. Items made specifically for the calender, all full size, almost all makeup. Impressive. Nice large items. Big item for the last day. They made an effort of sending different shades to be inclusive (a huge difficulty for advent calendars)

I am 53 years old and I appreciate a pallet of eyeshadow that two years later I can still smell chocolate, I don’t know why but it brings me so much delight it’s ridiculous and frankly it makes me want to use that palette more even if it’s not my favorite. Could you imagine giving a 13 year old girl that’s starting out their make up collection something like this. If I was a grandmother of a teen this would be a top present for me to give.

I just got mine on yesterday and I'm in loveeeeeeee!!! My mom bought this for me for my birthday and I told her this was a birthday and Christmas gift wrapped in one. She was able to get it with Klarna because it was a hefty $363 total but with everything that comes with it....soooo worth it!!! Considering all full size products. Enjoy!!!

I've decided I'm calling you Advent Alex. You have the best, and most well-informed videos on YT when it comes to calendars. Joy at Christmas is really hard for me to find, and I so appreciate what you do. It' brings back a bit of a smile. Thank you for that:)

I feel like she is my spirit animal. I sprained my ankle washing dishes.

Despite it being too expensive for me, it does seem to have value and be the best advent calendar so far. It's really, really cute. There were also multiple items on some of the days. A whole SET of brushes. Lip duos. A bunch of lip liners... on top of full sized products. $13 per day, but not $13 per item.

Aww Ali your tree is beautiful!! The pups are probably thinking what a great Mom you are to give them their own tree 🌲

All the products are exclusive to the calendar. I ordered this in the uk and paid £1 shipping. Loving the series and I just love watching you all year round. You keep it real and you're so funny XOXO

Six days in and there's more actual value than every other calendar you've opened so far! Go P. Louise!

After watching you open so many disappointing or average calendars...I was excited for you opening all of this! Gorgeous high value calendar!

So for a hot minute I was thinking of getting this for my niece who's getting into makeup and would love the packaging. But it was just too expensive and finances are not great right now. But it was great to see all the products and the thought they put into it. As for the body glow stuff, they're probably thinking it can be used if you're going out for New Years and you want some sparkle.

There was someone on TikTok that received this Advent calendar as a gift from P Louise and they absolutely trashed it, they had nothing nice to say about it. The owner saw the video and was actually really nice but requested that he give the Advent calendar to someone else if he wasn't going to enjoy it. I was confused then and even more confused now, it's a great Advent calendar, even if you have a ton of P Louise makeup already.

Most of this makeup is EXTREMELY warm toned and reminds me of 2015 instagram makeup

This calendar sets you up to be a pro MUA! A little something for everyone! Such a great calendar! ❤

Ordered this the day it released for my daughter...it finally arrived yesterday (Nov. 27). This seems clearly an edit built for MUA's, but who cares!! It's sooo fun! Thank you for sharing with us!

I love watching your excitement with this calendar. This is the JOY of the advent calendar. You have spent so much time and energy on these calendars over the years. I wish that more of them had given you the joy you had in this video. You deserve it. Thanks for wading through all the swamps of terrible advent calendars and sharing the joy of the good ones. Merry Christmas Alexandria.

This is the kind of review people deserve, you're honest and direct without being a garbage person! Love it!

I would love to see a video where you review the products you actually use over time. Which products have you really loved and what products have you really not liked that you’ve kept after first impressions? Maybe even an empties video of the products you used up!

I love that there are more full sized items. I do feel the giant palette makes the mini ones a bit redundant and wish it would have been more of a mix to cool and warm options, since winter is my a cool tone season

The HEFT! 😂 Finally a quality advent unboxing

It’s so nice to see an Advent Calendar that isn’t just out to make a buck at Christmas! P Louise never disappoints❤❤

I’m so happy you’ve finally gotten the advent calendar you deserve!

Wow! Now that's an ADVENT CALENDAR! So happy to watch your joy opening this calendar! Now all we need is a cool look from you! I also love your Christmas tree and "snow bank" beds for the pups!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It’s a Christmas miracle you got this video done quick sis!! We love these videos. Keep ‘em coming 😊

I’ve never wanted an advent calendar as much as this one. Now that’s value!

Love the detail they put into everything!

So happy to see this advent calendar again. You get so excited as you open all these PLouise boxes. Love watching you open this

What an amazing advent calendar! So good to see you so happy too!

This was awesome watching you so excited to open these for a change . ❤😂

The excitement from Alexandria brings me so much joy!

I guess I’m feeling feisty (or cranky from just waking up from a nap), because when you opened the shimmer cream and then didn’t try it I said (out loud) “Well at least swatch it if you’re going to open it!” LOL Absolutely love watching you open everything and it’s so nice to see you so excited about one for once! I bought the Anthropologie calendar and have been anxiously awaiting December 1st!

This was an awesome advent calendar! If it applies anything like the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow blush that kicked off the bubble gum pink blush trend that duo from Day 24 will be gorgeous on you. The color looks super intense in the pan, but when you apply it it just gives the most beautiful winter cheek like appearance.

So much itens per day!! Awesome!! And your excitement is amazing! 😅

The pure JOY this calendar brings you. Best day ever!

So you paid about $300 and the calendar has a value of over $600, therefore you got it for free, girl math!!

Yay! I'm so excited for this one! And being from East TN, I feel like a kindred spirit when you talk about Gatlinburg! The Smokeys are my favorite place to go! It's gotten so much more busy, over the years! It's crazy! But I still love it! 💜 Now you don't have to put that purple on your eyes! 😉

Absolutely love your videos. They always make my day so much better! Thank you!

I loved the big palette so pretty. And I love how excited you were about the calendar. I’ve been rewatching your advent calendar and you are so funny and make my day .

I also bought this advent calendar (in August) and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! TOTALLY WORTH IT!

This advent calendar is way out of my price range, but it’s absolutely adorable, and way more worth it than any of the others so far. I actually don’t expect any other calendar will top this. I’ve never seen one that included so many palettes, so much makeup, and not even a single day that seemed to only be filler. There were no cheap baubles or stickers or anything! Lol. I love it. They outdid themselves, imo.

Yes! Happy to see you looking festive and really looking forward to the advent calendar! Yay PLouise! This was so much fun to watch these products show up. Cute, festive and fun!

I absolutely love this calendar. I love your excitement as you opened each door. By far the best this season

This Advent calendar from P. Louise definitely seems like a way nicer & better Advent calendar than the Sephora one...and than a lot of other ones too. This one is definitely my favorite of the Advent calendars.

What an advent calendar! I wish I had someone on my Christmas list who was just getting into makeup. This is everything they need (and more) to start their make-up stash! ❤

P. Louise killed it🔥 as far as preferences go, I would've preferred the last palette to have more reds, greens, icy blues, crystal whites etc, more christmassy colors but honestly the best calendar I've seen this year! I can see why they completely sold out.

I was so happy you got this one after watching someone else open. Lovedd ❤ your reactions!
