      I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad suddenly 11 years ago. Christmas was one of his favorite times a year and he loved to spoil my siblings and I. We knew we were lucky and appreciated everything we got. I remember the magic I used to feel when I was a kid and even through college. He is very much missed by me. My mom lives 5 minutes down the street and doesn't care if she ever talks to me or sees me. I hope you have Happy Holidays!

      It’s wrong to use the word ‘she’ when you use pronouns such as he and she during the conversation or comment which that person is present in, it makes them feel that the conversation is about them, not with them. It really makes an uncomfortable situation for them. Basically it’s rude! I’ve not seen anyone comment this way before but it’s insulting.

      its def a thing here in the UK, and the luxury ones are a v competitive market. Our Sephora generally tho is so far pretty poor! Not all the brands we were expecting, no VIB etc sales, no decent samples and any discount codes exclude most of the good/popular brands (sigh)!!

      idk about other european countries but here in germany advent calenders are a looong tradition.
      except when i was a tiny little child i got a chocolate one and now its a little more fancy with makeup brands and all kinds of companies wanting in on it (This year i got one from a local beekeeper with all different flavours of honey!).
      Some children did get handmade ones with different toys and treats and stationary everyday but my parents both worked full time so it wasnt their priority which i understand. but yeah lots of people make and fill them with 24 surprises for their child, partner, friend etc.

    Every other year I get the advent calendar from either Liberty or Cult and they're always worth it - I spend a LOT of time comparing contents and looking at what I have and making decisions and that's part of the whole thing (alternate years I get a chocolate one). Opening a drawer with a little present to myself every day is so much fun, especially since December here (NL) is so dark and gloomy.
    Edited to add: this year I went for Cult and have no regrets except that it's so long until December 1.

    I'd probably put the Liberty one last, as perfume preferences are so personal. Body chemistry differs so greatly from individual to individual. Being perfume heavy can drastically drop value if you only like one or two of the perfumes. Skin, hair care and makeup can stretch across more skin tones and types. Not that I can afford any of these though 😆

Not bad really if you live perfumes like you do (i do too so i get it - and incidentally, halfeti, in the Selfridge's box, is one of my all time favourites) but it means some of the other days a bit disappointing. But the Selfridge's one was just hit after hit. This was really fun to watch you open these!

    Hair oils are great to use as a mask! Just soak your hair with it, put it up in a gentle pony or bun, waste some time (clean your house, do some laundry, take a walk, whatever), then take a shower & wash it out.

    i love living vicariously through others as i just get 1 advent calendar every year and its for chocolate or tiny figurines or lego.
    ngl though that house one was gorgeous and i would say keep that and refill it with things next year for yourself like candy or chocolate for the advent. :) as that packaging was amazing.

    I never believed that suggested value of $1300.😂 I've had several small samples of Dr. Sturm products, but I have no idea if they are any good. Also, I hear that the Harrods Advent calendar is really nice. Keep that Luna oil and use it. I think your thoughts on face oil will change. ❤

      I use nothing but Dr. Sturm. One, my super sensitive skin can tolerate her products with no trouble, and her calming serum is better and works faster than the steroids the dermatologist prescribed for an allergic reaction. So, there is that. Number two, wow, her products are super effective! The buffered Vit. C and her other acid serums are very gentle and yet work very effectively against fine lines and dark spots, etc. Yes, the brand is super expensive. But I have used La Mer, Guerlain's Orchidee Imperiale, and Sisley and all have worked a little for a while, then blew my face up. So I think Dr. Sturm is well worth the money.

    I live for my Bader skincare. I use The Cream as moisturizer and The Rich Cream as eye/dry area cream and I look like an actual child. Like ppl tell my husband (we are 44/45) that his wife is much too young for him..and he looks great himself! 🙌🏼

    I’m having the most fun WATCHING you open the boxes. Great idea for a series or even one video seeing as you’ve got a grand in advent calendars in this video alone. I’ve always wanted to get an advent calendar & I have to agree the higher ticket ones are the way to go IF you’re gonna do it. Reminds me of all the years I got ipsy cuz that’s the same reason I got the full sized ipsy. I was always using super high end skincare I’d never have bought otherwise. It’s been a year since I got glam bag+ & im STILL finishing up some dr Brandt stuff.

    I don’t think you can compare liberty to the the other two really without either being from the uk or having visited the liberty London store. Cult is more mainstream online beauty and self ridges although being a high end department store is still a lot more commercial and “trendy”. Liberty London is like quintessentially British. The store gives you the same feel stepping into it as the advent calendar box design. Its old and wooden and is feels a bit more luxurious rather than just expensive if that makes any sense at all. It stocks quite quite a few obscure brands and that’s reflected in the calendar.
    Realistically I’d probably use the contents of the others two more. But liberty is more boujee 😂
