@@yulianagonzalez2428 I know 😭 Their customer service is amazing though - I already called and they’re sending me a new makeup remover to replace the broken one 🥰
$300 for a bunch of samples I usually get for free with a purchase seems crazy! I’d rather put the $300 towards a ysl leather card holder/wallet and have a little luxury piece!
@@yulianagonzalez2428 it depends Lancôme and estee lauder are very very generous with any purchase. It could be a $50 foundation and they will include a travel size mascara eyeshadow and lipstick usually some perfume samples but not a dabber bottle usually a small vile
I feel that none of these advent boxes are "worth it" ever. It's just a way for them to make more money off of stuff they want to get rid of. Especially skincare products
I thought the inside was so plain and disappointing. The stickers looked random and cheap to me. Personally, I liked the Dior so much better. It is so gorgeous! Thanks for the review!
I’m so irritated by these advent calendars ..ooo yay a bunch of one time use samples that look like theyve been sitting in a storage unit for five years
I’m actually considering buying this advent calendar. I use a lot of the items included in the advent calendar already, and it would be great to have a small size of them, for traveling or just to throw in the purse. Thanks for doing this video, you really gave me an idea of what to buy for this advent❤️
Loved the asthetic of the box, its really pretty. However the price for sample sizes, definitely not worth the money. None of those lipsticks would suite my shade so kinda glad i dodnt get sucked in. Only the perfumes seem like a good addition. I love how quickly you go through it, hate when youtubers ramble and shout.
Love your videos, Cindy! This is on another level of advent calendars. I was excited when it was chocolate and small toys but this works too lol. Looking forward to the next video ♥️
Hello, Cindy! I love the YSL Advent Calendar.☺️ The red print is awesome and you have so many beauty items and mini fragrances by days.😊 Oh no one bottle was cracked, so disappointing. So many lippies, the shades are bright, that's a good idea if you don't like some you can gift them, especially so many holidays are ahead.👍 Thanks for the share.
I definitely loved this more than the Dior calendar although the Dior was pretty! I too love the drawers and I love their Christmas color. Thank you for this share and I can’t wait to see your other calendars!!!
I have wanted to treat myself to a lux brand advent calendar for a few years but I just can’t get over the fact that they include so many very bright shades of lipstick...there is no way these are their best sellers....why not include shades that are more wearable. This one is definitely one of the better ones , but the shades of lippies is just not doing it for me :( I’m so happy I found your channel however , through these advent calendar unboxings :)
Thanks so much for watching! I agree about the brighter lip colors - it would have been great if they also included single eyeshadows or mini blush 🥰 Thank you so much for watching 🤗
Oh! If you're looking out for an advent calendar that would be 100% worth it, check out Yesstyle 2020 advent calendar ("Jet, set, glow"). It has mostly skincare Korean products, but all of them are good (like actually good brands and actually good products), and ALL of them are full-sized. I think this is the first calendar with totally worth value without a bunch of crap that wouldn't sell out in stores. I've just watched a review of the box and now wanna try it myself.
This one was a bit better than the Dior Advent..but it’s still a box full of mini lipsticks..and I like watching the Advent unboxings..but consumers are being had...
Just watched your video, I adore YSL and I've never seen the advent calendar before... I just ordered the last one on site. I got a 30% discount which was great.. So looking forward to getting this... Thanks so much 😍😍😍
@@yulianagonzalez2428 Yes! Such a great deal! I posted it to my IG stories and YT community page as soon as I saw it listed for $160 but now it’s sold out again 😭
Yass, I'm really loving this! Also, you've mentioned fragrances here and with the Dior advent calendar, do you think you'll do a fragrance collection video anytime soon? I'm always looking for new ones. 😊
Great video, it would be nice to hear you talk about each product a little more and test them out for us to see. Like do swatches with the lipsticks, try on the perfumes and tell us what it smells like, things like that. Would give us a better idea on what we'd be spending our money on
Great job!! I love you videos! You are one of the only here in YT who does expensive advent calendars unboxing and that so cool!! But i would never buy a expensive advent calendar is to much money for the products they put in there and even most of them you can get for free.
Love your videos ❤💙 I think for the price they should include atleast a few full size products. It's pretty much just the samples you get free in store or at checkout.
Cindy because of you I was at the mall yesterday and kinda browsing Nordstrom and Macy’s and I didn’t find the Advent Calendar I have to order it in the website, however I found this awesome Holiday collection for Dior and has a White makeup bag included and it’s really pretty and the full size DreamSkin is the one that definitely sold me and it’s 15% off I was ecstatic😅🥰 So I wanted to let you know just in case😀 Love the YSL tho I think the individual box is looking more substantial but Dior is more fun print👍🏽
I think they are selling the gift boxes for people that may want to regift items from the advent calendar so that it looks like a intentional gift for someone instead of something you don’t like. They really should have been specific about the box size and intentions.
So when you find a lipstick is too bright you can use a lipliner then just add the lipstick in the middle it looks nice . 👋🏼that’s what I do I am also tan and yes those colour don’t suit me
Your Advent color is stunning. So many goodies. Omg I can’t believe it cracked and leaked. Thank goodness it didn’t get into anything. So many goodies. So much eye candy 🍭 🍬 Tfs 💕
Disappointed that I've gotten most of these as delux samples with other purchases. With the exception of the brush, make up remover and the highlighter, everything else has been a delux sample on Macy's or Sephora.
@@yulianagonzalez2428 In Sephora it varies between $40-$75 and you get either one lipstick or sometimes a lipstick, mascara and a primer. If you're already purchasing something, then it makes sense to just add that in your cart as the deluxe sample. Those mini lipsticks are worth $12.50 each and are usually available as delux samples with a $40 purchase on other things. You can also buy them with points sometimes. So if you buy a perfume when it's 4 points each you might be able to get one delux sample and also purchase another one with points.
Omg I would be so shattered too paying for that tiny gift box and also having the eye makeup remover leak!! But all the goodies are super cute! You should definitely give the bright colours a go, particular the stains and becuase they’re small sample sizes, you can test it out. I used to hate bright lipsticks too but I find sheering it out to have that ombré look works well and lip stains are perfect for that! I can’t wait to see what else you get! I’m totally getting excited for Christmas already and it’s only October 😂😂🎄
Ugh i don’t need any of this but i love it LOL. there were too many lipsticks for me and too bright like you said, but i love it. I love YSL. And the primer is to die for, i had to purchase full size bottle after trying the sample one at Sephora 😫
Wow 240 dollars wd all that items?? It's already a good deal!! My aunt gave me an ysl opium and it cost around 150canadian dollars. I think that's already a good deal
Thanks for sharing this! I love this advent calendar! Looks so nice and luxurious too. I've never seen this available where I live. Perhaps I have to buy it online. I am a new can of your channel, I'm enjoying your videos you are so cute and sweet too! 😄 I look forward to more videos!
Thank you so much for watching! I have many more videos on the way so please stay tuned 🤗 I also post polls in my IG stories for feedback about what you want me to film next 🥰
I was worried because you made me buy the Dior advent calendar :) and i am easily influenced but thankfully i won't be buying the YSL. Thanks for your review! I'm not a lipstick wearing dude and i just loved the packaging of the Dior
You certainly get a lot for the money in this one (especially compared to the CT version) although it was rather heavy on the lipsticks! 😁💄 It's a shame about the make up remover, and the gift box episode was just ridiculous! I do like the design with the different sized drawers, great options for re-using next year. TFS Cindy! 💖
Is it worth it? I’ve seen also body shop advent calendar unboxing and for sure it’s cheaper than YSL. It’s just that still feeling of Christmas holidays where normally exchanging gifts that we can’t really do at the moment
Thank you for the review. I wish there were mini blushers or highlighters instead of so many lipsticks. Those lipstick colours won't suit my tanned skin, I think this would suit fairer tones. Ysl do nice smaller Christmas gift sets also. (Top Secrets is still my favourite primer)!
Wow love the ysl advent calendar wish I could get them in spore. Yeah agree tat this is better than the Dior ones in terms of items. I have a few samples of lip products and they are great!
Yes I will definitely reuse this next year and make my own advent calendar - probably putting candy inside the drawers instead of makeup 😂 I will post if this gets restocked especially with the promo code 🤗
By gift box they must mean a cosmetic gift box, like gift with purchase, except that you had to pay for it. Purchase with purchase. But you couldn't really tell from the fact that they asked what samples you'd like because free samples often come with cosmetic/fragrance/skin care purchases.
I agree they don’t fulfill the gift boxing request and their packaging is not up to standard as other high end luxury packaging. I ordered several lipsticks and nail polishes and I received the order shipped from their warehouse in Mississippi & it was not pretty . Nothing was damaged but it wasn’t exciting to open just a standard box with the regular packaging.
Thank you fir the video. I want to purchase a beauty advent calendar for my sister but have ni idaa what to go for. She likes MAC products, but there's mostly lippies in there. She likes high end beauty products so thus might be the one to go for. Will check out your other beauty advent unboxings for 2020 before I decide.
At first I thought the box had regular sized products then I realized you were comparing from your personal collection. I totally thought I missed out but I feel better by watching 😭 idk what YSL was thinking with the gift box 🙄 they should’ve just refunded you. TFS Cindy! 🤩
