Me encanta ver tus vídeos de calendarios , que pena que no se hablar inglés y tengo que usar el traductor , explicas cada producto super bien . El año pasado me aconsejaste el de look fantástic y fue todo un acierto , este año espero a ver cual me recomiendas de los que se puedan comprar en España , un saludo
The fact that you just told me you are 3 years younger then me I'm all the sudden very sad 😂 now you need to do "how i stay looking so young" video. I'm not kidding i thought you were 30 max 😊❤
I liked this calendar and as I say every time I wish I good get it in the US. You have the best calendars in the UK. Claire, thanks for sharing all these calendars with us. I love that you show us the product and swatch - hope the lip tint eventually came off! Have a great day! 💙🧡💙
I agree with you completely. It’s very underwhelming and I think there are better value ones. For me, if I’m paying £100 I want 25 days and a lot less minis than that. I know the prices separately would be more but people buy these with one or two items they love in it and the rest are a chance to try and maybe find some new faves. If you only get minis you don’t get a chance to really experience the products. There are others I would pick above this one and the lack of conditioner is a real negative too
I agree. There are many alternate, but better value, Boots' products that I would prefer in the full size. For £100, the 12 tiny trial/travel sizes are just ridiculous - should be given away, or at least doubled up into 6 of the 25 boxes.
I’ve been saving my Advantage points all year for this based on last years being so good. I wasn’t overly impressed with it at first glance, but ordered it as I was getting it for free (effectively) However I didn’t know about the other two. I have actually returned this and when my points recredit I’ll order the skin care instead. That has a load of bronzers which I never use but the rest is all pretty decent. This one has a couple of stand outs - the new Sol de Janeiro spray, the Bubble serum (despite the box talking about it in the first person 🙄) the Hello Sunday eye cream, the Drunk Elephant stuff, the Grown Alchemist hand cream all look good. But some real stinkers too. How many blushers? Including that dark red no 7 one that would make me look like a cadaver. A huge shampoo doesn’t excite me without a conditioner. Philip Kingsley 😴 Urban Decay 😴 Soap and Glory foot cream, how noughties? 🙄 And some of the sizes, you’d need binoculars to see.
I did the same. I was torn between this one and the 12 day one but I decided that while the sizes are smaller, there is probably more I’d use in this one. The makeup in the 12 day one just didn’t wow me-I’m more a skincare girl. But the 24 days of skincare didn’t grab me either coz I’ve tried most of them before and prefer a smaller more luxury then a full size cheaper product. But I am disappointed when I compare it to last years one.
The skincare calendar seems like they sent 2 people to their warehouse and said you pick 12 random products each but don't tell the other what you have picked. We have 2 micellar waters and a least 2 tanning products, 2 face oils, 2 acid products, etc. I wish they would have done 1 really good calendar (like last year) or maybe 1 normal and 1 premium. Or just put a bit more focus on the selection of products for the skincare calendar without the doubling up of product categories (maybe another 12 day calendar would have been better?)
So many to choose from. I've just has the Elemis calendar delivered. 😀 Really loving your hair colour Claire. I'm a natural red hair and just gone back to red from blonde. Which colour do you use?
Ooh lovely 😍 Thank you I used Wunderbar 7.4 from Sally Beauty and I mix it with 20vol - it’s the first time I ever used it so not sure how it’ll wash yet xx
The positive with this calendar is that there are no wristbands, hair ties, scrunchies, or clips. Defo a bit overpriced for the contents, but tbh I think this year's advent calendars are quite underwhelming with tons of haircare, fillers and samples. I initially thought harrods was underwhelming, but it's actually all usable. I purchased the holland & barretts calendar because most things will be used apart from the wristbands, lol. There's certain products and types that seem to be in almost every calendar. Maybe I've been getting calendars and beauty boxes for too long, which is why I'm not being wowed!
Whenever I see your videos pop up I go put the kettle on to make a cup of tea as I love watching your Unboxings. I know what you mean about trying to close the Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum cream.😄 I’m the same with it. I agree that there are better Beauty Advent Calendars for similar price. Especially the LookFantastic one and NEXT Beauty one I recently unboxed. I haven’t tried the Sol De Janeiro blackcurrant scent 76 in this calendar and will need look out for it.💕
Great review as always my darling , I kinda think i like this one but not 100% its not the best one ive seen , but thankyou for sharing beautiful xoxo 🥰😘
Hi Claire! I actually liked this one and could see myself using these products (they are “basic” enough to be appealing to me) but it does seem a bit pricey for the content. Look forward to your unboxing of the Anthropologie one!
I got this last year for my daughters partner and she thought it was fantastic, this year the glossybox took my eye for her, I subscribe so only paid £70, I was soo impressed by the price and products I ordered a 2nd one for my daughter so this year she will have the glossybox and the Harrods 25day calendar
I was waiting for this one but I think they did nit keep up with last years one... or on another hand Lookfantastic calendar set bar high ? 🤔 hope you will do full lookfantastic unboxing soon❤
Which wouldn't be so much an issue if it wasn't all the same cream. While the fragrance mist is their brand new release, I wish they sent a 90ml of that instead of 30ml + bumbum cream. Sol de Janeiro has FOUR different creams, it shouldn't be that difficult to send a tub that isn't yellow 😂
Its Great watching you u box these calanders just such a shame most we can buy nor ship to Europe Due to certain products inside . Have a Good weekend 🥰
Thank you so much for this video which has helped me make a decision on whether I should buy or not. On this occasion I think this isn’t that appropriate for my young daughters xxx
I would pay £80 for it , very good content and variety of products but 8 ml serum is a joke as an eye cream is min 8 ml and usually 15 ml.... and for the reason of the size of some products a bit overpriced
I like the variety and no candles, hair ties etc but am hoping they’ll drop the price. My daughter wants one with a decent amount of makeup & this seems better than most.
No Claire it's not just you with the sole de Janeiro bum bum creams! In every single Advent calendar that I got last year ( and the year before ) from the UK I still have them sitting on my dresser because I have not been able to open any of them none of them that bombed the a bright the boom boom you name it they're all still stuck it's like they were sealed shut and not willing to open whatsoever I even had my husband try and it didn't work that's why they're sitting as a display on my dresser. If I want to open them I would have to crack them that's literally how they're just stuck I don't know if they're sealed they just didn't come out of the mold right I don't know what happened so it's not just you darling! 😊
They reduced the value this year for this one last years was worth £465 ish from memory, good they didn't increase the prices like other have this year. I'm honestly torn on this one. There's some I would like to try. initially the 12 day one grabbed me more but I can't choose do I get one both or neither. I'm thinking I'll sit on it until the look fantastic arrives and see if they get reduced at all.
Ah I wish I could remember these things!! I remember the prices but not always the values but yes I think you’re right! There’s some great products inside this one but yes I think your wise to wait and see - if you keep being pulled back to this one you know it’s the one for you xx
Are you from wales?found you this week im hooked 😂❤ i love this calendar tho id prob use most of it! I wonder after you open all your calendars up to the last one and then say your favorite 😍 im curious id love to know or your favourite 5-10 lol uv got so many i dont think you can choose 1 favourite! Huge new fan ❤ love your channel xxxx
I bought the last years but this one is a pass, I love only the Fenty product so it is better to just buy it instead of the whole calendar. I think will take look fantastic this year
How lovely with a cool toned lip product for once! They are so rare in boxes and calendars which leaves us with a cool undertone with heaps of nasty warm toned products we can't use which I am really sick of as it is just a waste of money.
I don’t think Boots AC is worth it for the price. Quite a lot of sample size products, which we have already seen in their boxes throughout the year. And I don’t understand why all the Advent calendars seem to include only the original Bum Bum cream, when there are others in the range. I find this years Boots AC to be disappointing.
In my opinion I wish there was less skincare I feel like these years beauty advent calenders have like three make up products and the rest is just skincare.
Such a disappointment - I was excitedly waiting because this was excellent last year. They clearly skimmed here because now want us to pay twice, via the 12 day one.
If definitely consider it if it gets reduced, but not at that price
It sold out last year - but that was far better admittedly
Please do the luxury one !
When i become rich il ne buying so many calendars 😂❤❤ love so many xxx
the ritual recovery balms are amazing! Loved the aryveda scent!
This is one of my four advent calendars this year. Love boots!!
Very much enjoying your channel at the moment ❤ lovely content x

The 12 days luxury boots one looks amazing claire ... days of the trifids with u atm 😂❤ love u though 🎉
Yes, please! More advent calendars! 😃
Great review Claire - thank you! I bought it last year and loved it! Bit disappointed with the number of samples this time, think I’ll give it a miss

I love those huda stains they last all day I’ve got 3 all different 👌
I put a gloss on top
I was happy with my Boots box this year 😊
Before you opened the calendar i could see Bum Bum cream behind you then you got a mini one in it too
The sol de Janeiro fragrance is a brand new release. It only came out a bout a week or 2 ago. I have it and its smell so good
Oh the blusher/lipsticks 😊❤xxxxx
Please do he skin care one
I would Love you to open the other boots advent calenders & looking forward to see the athapolagy ❤
Needs a really nice perfume and a decent mascara. The fenty lipstick was my only 'I want that'. LF was so much better (thank goodness I got that!)
So many to choose from. I've just has the Elemis calendar delivered. 😀 Really loving your hair colour Claire. I'm a natural red hair and just gone back to red from blonde. Which colour do you use?
Ooh lovely 😍
Thank you I used Wunderbar 7.4 from Sally Beauty and I mix it with 20vol - it’s the first time I ever used it so not sure how it’ll wash yet xx
Oh I'd love to see what's in your Elemis calendar ❤
Thank you for unboxing this calendar ❤ Last years calendar was much better 😅
That fenty liquid lippy 😍😍😍

Yeah first x love your unboxings beest Claire xx
Awwww thank you : ) xxx
Really good for the price i think ❤xxxx
22% discount just now for Black Friday 😊
I got this last year for my daughters partner and she thought it was fantastic, this year the glossybox took my eye for her, I subscribe so only paid £70, I was soo impressed by the price and products I ordered a 2nd one for my daughter so this year she will have the glossybox and the Harrods 25day calendar
Aw that’s a lovely gift to give and yes for £70 it’s a great calendar! Xx
Harrods is amazing 🥰
I was waiting for this one but I think they did nit keep up with last years one... or on another hand Lookfantastic calendar set bar high ? 🤔 hope you will do full lookfantastic unboxing soon❤
Sol de Janeiro is in every calendar

Oh and I can never get the lid back on straight with the mini bum bum tubs. 😂
Ahhh 😂so I’m not the only one!!
i am considering this one, bc i like most of the products, but will wait for a discount, maybe they'll do one later...
Its Great watching you u box these calanders just such a shame most we can buy nor ship to Europe
Due to certain products inside . Have a Good weekend 🥰
Thank you so much for this video which has helped me make a decision on whether I should buy or not. On this occasion I think this isn’t that appropriate for my young daughters xxx
I looked at this the other day but have decided to give it a pass this year. They do really great beauty boxes ❤
I would pay £80 for it , very good content and variety of products but 8 ml serum is a joke as an eye cream is min 8 ml and usually 15 ml.... and for the reason of the size of some products a bit overpriced
But it’s drunk elephant so it’s expensive and barley has any product
There is a code SAVE20 which brings it down to £79.20 today if you were keen at that price point.
Prefer the 12 day one, the skincare is pants, but I could use most of these but the new one last year was great. Xx😊❤
Ive just had a proper look and yeah i agree - i think they should have stuck with the one calendar and make it amazing!! Xx
Is this instead of the box they do at Christmas for £80?
I like the variety and no candles, hair ties etc but am hoping they’ll drop the price. My daughter wants one with a decent amount of makeup & this seems better than most.
Actually I’d love your views on the skincare one 😃 so please order that too 👍🏻
The 12 day one is much better
No Claire it's not just you with the sole de Janeiro bum bum creams! In every single Advent calendar that I got last year ( and the year before ) from the UK I still have them sitting on my dresser because I have not been able to open any of them none of them that bombed the a bright the boom boom you name it they're all still stuck it's like they were sealed shut and not willing to open whatsoever I even had my husband try and it didn't work that's why they're sitting as a display on my dresser. If I want to open them I would have to crack them that's literally how they're just stuck I don't know if they're sealed they just didn't come out of the mold right I don't know what happened so it's not just you darling! 😊
I've seen better advent boxes for around the same price. Don't think I would get this one!
They reduced the value this year for this one last years was worth £465 ish from memory, good they didn't increase the prices like other have this year. I'm honestly torn on this one. There's some I would like to try. initially the 12 day one grabbed me more but I can't choose do I get one both or neither.

Oooh
It’s not a wow at all, so not for me this year! But would love to see the other boots ones - yes please to unboxing those 😊 Thanks Claire x
Are you from wales?found you this week im hooked 😂❤ i love this calendar tho id prob use most of it! I wonder after you open all your calendars up to the last one and then say your favorite 😍 im curious id love to know or your favourite 5-10 lol uv got so many i dont think you can choose 1 favourite! Huge new fan ❤ love your channel xxxx
It's terrible. The 12 days is a bit better, but it's the same price. Thanks for sharing xx
When I asked my partner what age he thought you were, he said 32, I just wanted to let you know 😂 xx
I bought the last years but this one is a pass, I love only the Fenty product so it is better to just buy it instead of the whole calendar. I think will take look fantastic this year
I dont mind the look of this one but think it’s a bit too expensive for what it is. It’s a lot of smaller products.
Good unboxing, Claire, but I wasn’t excited by the calendar. Lots of small sizes and a bit of a boring design.
I have to agree with other commenters, last years calendar was so much better. I think this is just disappointing in comparison.
Oehhh 😍😍
Stopped buying them. Ending up with more bits l don't use, or not liking sample sizes.
i think im cursed, the calendars with contents i like usually have pathetic sizes
I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a conditioner to go with the shampoo. Products are ok but a bit boring. Bum bum cream as an example.
Too many tiny sizes for the price
How lovely with a cool toned lip product for once! They are so rare in boxes and calendars which leaves us with a cool undertone with heaps of nasty warm toned products we can't use which I am really sick of as it is just a waste of money.
I don’t think Boots AC is worth it for the price. Quite a lot of sample size products, which we have already seen in their boxes throughout the year. And I don’t understand why all the Advent calendars seem to include only the original Bum Bum cream, when there are others in the range. I find this years Boots AC to be disappointing.
I’m not impressed with this years calendar compared to last years 😢
This is no way near as good as last years unfortunately x
In my opinion I wish there was less skincare I feel like these years beauty advent calenders have like three make up products and the rest is just skincare.

Last year was great. This… I’m pass.
Such a disappointment - I was excitedly waiting because this was excellent last year.
They clearly skimmed here because now want us to pay twice, via the 12 day one.
Yes I know what you mean - there some lovely things inside but I think they should stick to doing one amazing calendar xx
I think the packaging is awful. Really dull. I want something nicer if it's going to be sitting out for 3 1/2 weeks.
Nahh, it's so boring this year! 😩 Disappointing.
A bit disappointing that for £99 you don't even get a day 25! Very overpriced 🫤
