@@Littlebit_Batwitchyeah because you’re only meant to twist it a little bit for a small amount of product and it’s a gloss, they can add a slight tint and the odd colours like blue and green especially can be really good for neutralising reddish tones :)
Sweetheart there is no difference between the CC’s buckle on the *gtdupe* and real one. You’re seeing things that aren’t there. If a professional came in and told you the CC was a real, you’d probably agree.
I actually think for the price you get a lot of full size products. Mac products aren’t cheap and if you added up the individual cost of all the items together the value would come to way more than you paid .
They used to include classics like velvet teddy and an iconic red of some kind, I feel like if they added those in place of a few of the lustre glass lipsticks and that eyemask it would be grand.
oh my goshhhh Sophie!! I used to watch you back in 2013 or earlier even! I'm an OG and just came across your videos!! Miss you and I love how your personality and vibe hasn't changed! I literally grew up watching you and sophdoesnails!! Icons and legends, you girls taught me so much about makeup!!
I just adore how genuine and authebtic your reactions are! And the adorable face you make when you're confused is the same face my 15 year old daughter makes when she's confused, also! Love your videos. They always brighten my day!
Ahhh so excited for the series to be back! Looking forward to November 😁 love this annual series 🩵 you’re so genuine and seem so friendly. Don’t stop being you, keep on radiating sunshine ☀️ x
Have you ever had an advent calendar with everything for a full face? I can't remember. It would be great if there was one with everything from skin care to finishing spray, foundation, powder, brow, all of it. Love you Sophie.
i’m going through one of the worst times of my life right now but i’m halfway through this video and i realised i’ve had a moment of peace where i’ve been distracted from my sadness momentarily as i love your videos. thank you 🤍
I am so sorry you are having a hard time Anna, I too have had a horrible two years due to family illnesses etc but think positive and know you are never alone. Take care my friend.
I love watching these videos, I could never afford a beauty calendar (can’t work due to health) but seeing what’s in them is so fun. I always love when you question what things are 😂. This was a good one but the colours were too samey to justify the price imo 🥰
I'm late watching today lol, pizza n film 1st. Love this series, can't wait until November when the rest arrive🎉. This was ok as ling as you need lots of lipsticks lol. Love your vids xx💄🖤💜
Hi Soph! did you pre-order Cult Beauty calendar this year? I've heard it's freaking amazing, and products in it are definitely worth its price. Have an amazing day 🩷
I think the lipstick shades are warm vs cold shades; they lack variety, but it is the 'everyone can find something for them' strategy. The huge matte ones are quite obvious, especially when you put them side by side. One is more coral-orange pink, while the other is pinkpink - both more on the nude side, to be technically the same, just for different undertones. I wasn't sure about the 3, but yeah, it's the same situation. The tiny red one is just different. It looks more neutral tone, but these tend to look very pink on the lips ... And the 2 'glossy' (I don't remember their name, sorry), the deeper pink-red is cold, and the lighter is neutral-warm pinkish. :) Basically, you got just 3 lipsticks if you're strictly cold or warm undertone (and if you care), all six for mix if you're ok with it.
For real tho, why does it feel like you've just started this series? I remember the first one like yesterday but it was what? Back in 2017 or something like that? Just shows how long I've been around ❤❤
I have yet to see one Advent Calendar unboxing that didn't seem like a rip off. I always have hope. You would think they would become extra creative one year. The mascara looks great. They should have swapped a lipstick for a blush.
I don't think I've ever noticed before but Sophie, your lips looked like they already had some colour on them before you put everything on. You have a very pretty natural lip colour. 🤗
Hoping you'll do the PLouise one it looks interesting and from what I've seen from last year one of the few that was worth the money? Just my opinion. Love you advent series thank you ❤
oh! im fairly new here! the mac AC, seems alright, but for 180 pounds, (180 Pound sterling equals 323.45 Canadian Dollar)) O M G, OHMYGAWD, holy! thats crazzy! --- nope, not worth it. --- SIDENOTE, loved your shirt! is the flower parts velvet?
Ah the annual Mac box of disappointment. They must be getting good reviews SOMEWHERE to keep this up.. Also love your sarcasm 😂 "what did we do to deserve such size"
This did look better than calenders from the past. It would have benefitted from a better variety of shades. Nuetrals and maybe more christmassy colours mixed. Like a good red lipstick then may a pink based nuetral and a brown based red or neutral. A pop of colour with the eyeshadow with christmas colours red, green cold and fo on. For rhis price you expect it to try appeal to everyone. This didnt. The mascara was good and looked good on you. Sometime the more pricey the calender the less you get for you money. But this was better.
The creators of the calendar were too carefull in choosin the products which fit to everyone, so it comes our boring. I think, in advent calendars there must be some unusual products, which one will not just normally buy. But there is a chance to try and evaluate finding it in the calendar.
It’s a shame that the products were way too similar, they should’ve thrown in like a red or like nice festive colours for people who wanna do Christmas looks, also those small skin care stuff like wtf I feel that’s smaller than any mini or sample I’ve ever tried
Honestly dont mind the products and it's a cute box. It's probably a deal for the lot but for $225 USD I'd rather just go buy a few specific products I really want 😅
I don’t think people realize that most Mac products are between 20 and 50 dollars. I look at this lineup and the shade range for the lip products suck but I’d say they’re probably losing money. They have to make a margin so to me they’ve giving way more than they should for how much their products cost individually.
The green lip thing was all over tiktok and influencers kept breaking them while trying to use it. Lol😂
oh haha! i didn't know that ❤
The texture is very soft nor can you twist product back down into tube.
@@Littlebit_Batwitchyeah because you’re only meant to twist it a little bit for a small amount of product and it’s a gloss, they can add a slight tint and the odd colours like blue and green especially can be really good for neutralising reddish tones :)
@@valleyofghouls 🙄Yes, I know how a gloss works....I was just letting Sophie know since she didn't know product.
I just love your advent calendar videos 🫶 There’s something about these videos of yours that’s especially cosy and comfy. They never fail to relax me
aww im so glad, thank you ❤
Sweetheart there is no difference between the CC’s buckle on the *gtdupe* and real one. You’re seeing things that aren’t there. If a professional came in and told you the CC was a real, you’d probably agree.
I don't know why, but I really enjoy advent calendars, unboxing, and reviews
glad you enjoy them! ❤
Same! I get excited every year
I actually think for the price you get a lot of full size products. Mac products aren’t cheap and if you added up the individual cost of all the items together the value would come to way more than you paid .
true! they've definitely improved since their older calendars ❤
I really love your Chanel. You seem like a very kind and genuine person. ♥️♥️🩷🩷🩷♥️♥️♥️🩷🩷🩷♥️♥️♥️♥️
Still not worth it tho imo
Yes, but they should put other stuff rather than Velvet teddy lipsticks, the lipsticks in the calendars never look good on me
Why do they always put warm toned brownish stuff, literally no one looks good with it 😢
They used to include classics like velvet teddy and an iconic red of some kind, I feel like if they added those in place of a few of the lustre glass lipsticks and that eyemask it would be grand.
yeah I agree! ❤
Last year I got Velvet Teddy and Ruby Woo in set together so it could be that?🥰
oh my goshhhh Sophie!! I used to watch you back in 2013 or earlier even! I'm an OG and just came across your videos!! Miss you and I love how your personality and vibe hasn't changed! I literally grew up watching you and sophdoesnails!! Icons and legends, you girls taught me so much about makeup!!

aw thank you so much ❤
You're so welcome! You deserve all the likes!
The video I've been anticipating since the Mac advent calendar unboxing last year🤣
haha enjoy! ❤
I live in a mid sized city and get asked about my *gtdupe* all the time. It’s not annoying, but I am always surprised when they ask.
Ahhh so excited for the series to be back! Looking forward to November 😁 love this annual series 🩵 you’re so genuine and seem so friendly. Don’t stop being you, keep on radiating sunshine ☀️ x
aw! thank you so much ❤❤
Love your advent unboxings and try ons! The best! 💙💙
Love the full sizes and love the colors!!
Got to say the things you come out with do make me laugh 😂
Especially the spray at the end haha
hehe ❤
Again a lovely video your Voice just made it soo Perfect🧡🧡🧡
thank you so much! ❤
I’ve actually been waiting and checking your page every few days to see if a new advent video was up.

over the taupe powder kiss is my FAVORITE
Have you ever had an advent calendar with everything for a full face? I can't remember. It would be great if there was one with everything from skin care to finishing spray, foundation, powder, brow, all of it. Love you Sophie.
I come back every year to see you unboxing. The smell of the air around this time is heavenly
❤❤❤
Love the eyeshadow on you! Love your adventure series would love you to mix it up with some food calendars as well as beauty ones ❤
thank you!! ❤
My fav series! I think MAC is giving the same amount of product in a larger component for those large lipsticks
Yaaaay it’s TTIIMMMEEEEEEEE✨✨
I love these videos so much. You make me want to buy them all honestly but I still love watching you open them🖤🖤🖤
aw thank you so much ❤
i’m going through one of the worst times of my life right now but i’m halfway through this video and i realised i’ve had a moment of peace where i’ve been distracted from my sadness momentarily as i love your videos. thank you 🤍
aw i'm sorry to hear that.. i'm glad my video helped for a bit! sending you lots of love ❤

Hi Sophie, can you do Sephora favorites advent calendar? It’s quite expensive but looks good I’d think? Xx
I love that eyeshadow color on you
thank you! ❤
Would you be allowed to do a ‘spicy’ advent calendar unboxing on RUclips? 🤔 just cause my work does one and it’s pretty cool 😂
That would be fun & I'm here for it 😂
I love watching the advent calendar reviews so much, never ever bought any myself though! 😂💓
glad you like watching them! ❤

❤❤❤
Yes been back and watched all your older videos ❤❤
❤❤❤
Great video Sophie!! Are you going to do advent calendars where you apply the products as they come out? Xx ❤️
thank you!! im not sure this year, i might do :) ❤
I love watching these videos, I could never afford a beauty calendar (can’t work due to health) but seeing what’s in them is so fun. I always love when you question what things are 😂. This was a good one but the colours were too samey to justify the price imo 🥰

Hi Soph! did you pre-order Cult Beauty calendar this year? I've heard it's freaking amazing, and products in it are definitely worth its price. Have an amazing day 🩷

Your make up turned out lovely. You're very beautiful ♡
aw thank you! ❤
hello Sophie the advent queen , looking beautiful . I hope you Ali and moon are all well .
thank you so much ❤
Well that's a interesting design to the packaging
Heyy, could you maybe do the essence and catrice advent calenders too?🥰
Yeah! I love your unboxing videos ❤
thank youuuu! ❤
Yayyyyy another video makes my day
❤❤❤
Please do the Marks and Spencer’s oneeeeee. ❤
Yes, you were right.
Pda stands for public displays of affection.
ahh thought so ❤
Yessss my favorite videos❤❤❤❤
thank youuuu ❤
Would you do a video on Charlotte Tilbury’s advent calendar as well?
hey!
Love this video!
Ill happily pay for the products you won't use!❤

Can you do the made by Mitchel advent and beauty crop please x
Ps still hate Mac for all their animal testing 😅😂 rubbish as always!!
you have to try the p louise one
Ive pre-ordered it :) ❤️

Lip liners again, just cold and warm shades.
ahh i see!! ❤
For real tho, why does it feel like you've just started this series? I remember the first one like yesterday but it was what? Back in 2017 or something like that? Just shows how long I've been around ❤❤
I know!! it's been so many years now ❤
You should get a mylee advent calendar its not soo much make up more nail type products
My favorite number 😂❤
❤❤
I have yet to see one Advent Calendar unboxing that didn't seem like a rip off. I always have hope. You would think they would become extra creative one year. The mascara looks great. They should have swapped a lipstick for a blush.
i agree!! not sure why they never add a blush ❤
I usually agree but the catrice and technic ones don't look too bad this year and aren't overpriced
I don't think I've ever noticed before but Sophie, your lips looked like they already had some colour on them before you put everything on. You have a very pretty natural lip colour. 🤗
aw thank you!! ❤
You have a very pleasant voice. You could record audiobooks, especially bedtime stories for children.
aw thank you! ❤
Is there a p Lois calendar
I've pre-ordered it! should arrive in November ❤
But Sophie, what's your favourite number? 😂😂 I'm kidding of course. Keep up the good work!!
haha thank you! ❤
Favvv
❤❤❤
Hoping you'll do the PLouise one it looks interesting and from what I've seen from last year one of the few that was worth the money? Just my opinion. Love you advent series thank you ❤
I pre-ordered it! should be arriving in November ❤
Lovely video
thank you! ❤
Prep and prime is abysmal.
😂
Also the max foundations are always not great for me, But I do love their lipsticks
Please could you do the Etsy ones again?
I will doooo ❤
I actually think this is a good deal if you like the lip stick colors.
oh! im fairly new here! the mac AC, seems alright, but for 180 pounds, (180 Pound sterling equals
323.45 Canadian Dollar)) O M G, OHMYGAWD, holy! thats crazzy! --- nope, not worth it. --- SIDENOTE, loved your shirt! is the flower parts velvet?
yeah its quite expensive!
& thank you, yesss its velvet ❤
As someone who doesn’t wear lip stick often, this calendar would definitely not be worth it to me😂… maybe for a lipstick fan it would
yeah same haha ❤
Influencers when brands include crazy colours: whos going to wear this!!!
Influencers when brands include wearables colors: thats so boring
lol there's no pleasing us
Ah the annual Mac box of disappointment. They must be getting good reviews SOMEWHERE to keep this up..
Also love your sarcasm 😂 "what did we do to deserve such size"
hahaha ❤
SWEET
❤❤

For rhis price you expect it to try appeal to everyone. This didnt. The mascara was good and looked good on you. Sometime the more pricey the calender the less you get for you money. But this was better.
You can get someone to restock it for you for next year :D
9:30 sophhh you set my 3 dogs off with the ring noise 😭😭 they’re all barking waiting for someone to come through the door 😅🫶🏻
oooop sorry haha ❤
Yay!!
❤❤
Is it a lipstick calendar? I dont want like 15 lip items 😅. It's a no.
Great vido Sophie.... But not worth that much money.... Looking forward to the next one
Hope you and alex and moon are doing good ❤❤
thank you!! ❤
I actually don't mind the MAC calendar this year, it has wearable nudes (a lot of them but its nice its not all bright reds)
yeah definitely very wearable shades! ❤
😊 ready for a new video
❤❤❤
sorry that's meant to be TAUPE?? that's orange! i want to fight the mac naming department
haha sometimes my camera does make things look a little warmer than real life.. but i still agree, its not a taupe ❤
The creators of the calendar were too carefull in choosin the products which fit to everyone, so it comes our boring. I think, in advent calendars there must be some unusual products, which one will not just normally buy. But there is a chance to try and evaluate finding it in the calendar.
This year wasn’t too bad… I think the price went up bc everything has went up🤷♀️
yeah thats what i'm thinking ❤
The eyeshadow fall out. Looks pretty and girl I really think you could put mud on your face, and you would still be very pretty.
aw thank you! ❤
They spent that 10 pounds on the mechanism to raise and lower that mascara 😂
I think I'd be disappointed with a pencil in a massive box. You can probably fit all items in one box. But it's really fun watching you open them
glad you enjoy them!! ❤
It’s a shame that the products were way too similar, they should’ve thrown in like a red or like nice festive colours for people who wanna do Christmas looks, also those small skin care stuff like wtf I feel that’s smaller than any mini or sample I’ve ever tried
yeah I agree! ❤
Honestly dont mind the products and it's a cute box. It's probably a deal for the lot but for $225 USD I'd rather just go buy a few specific products I really want 😅
yeah i agree! ❤
It's such a shame MAC tests on animals. I'll never buy anything from them (or L'Oréal and Maybelline for that matter)
So it just contained Lip products and repeats from previous years…
It’s a shame they didn’t include any blush or bronzers, who wants that many samey lip products!
yeah i wish they'd add a blush!! ❤
I don’t think people realize that most Mac products are between 20 and 50 dollars. I look at this lineup and the shade range for the lip products suck but I’d say they’re probably losing money. They have to make a margin so to me they’ve giving way more than they should for how much their products cost individually.
yeah this is true.. i forget they're high end sometimes ❤
they SELL them for 20-50 dollars... it doesn't cost that much to make them... they are always profiting
DUDE WHY ARE ALL THE LIP PRODUCTS SO BROWN??????? no one looks good in brown lipstick???
not sure anything you put on your face should be called "glide or die"
lol
Way too many lip products, without variation with colors. Love the video but yeah, terrible box.
Ridiculous that you received 6 red lipsticks…
