    Hey guys! So exactly one year later and we are unboxing the Sephora advent calendar again for this year! I do think there is improvement from last year but I still do not think that it is worth the $45 price tag! It seems like Sephora didn’t either since the put in on sale for half price after a bunch of people had already bought it. It seems like small products that they are having a hard time moving or existed in sets at some points along with some sample foil packets and some random little extras. I dont know, I think its better but still not good! Let me know what you guys think! I hope you are having a great day! Love ya! 💖

      I watch this one opened already Alexandria and I was really shocked. I almost felt bad when I saw you were going to be opening it because it is so disappointing. I think it's a shame that Sephora does this because in my opinion it really shows how they feel about their customers. This is almost something that they could hand out as a free gift with a purchase of over $100. Very disappointing. As always though the video was very enjoyable. You make everything lots of fun.

      I don't know why they didn't market the products from one of those Sephora Favorites sets along with some of the utility items as the advent calendar. Even if they just used the 'only in Sephora' brands, they would have some amazing things to choose from, and would give a lot more value.

      With the money she paid for that advent calendar, she has every right to be and at least she was funny about it and she did appreciate most of what was in each slot. Over priced advent calendar with very little makeup products and most of that tiny stuff, you can buy the same thing but cheaper at Walgreens.

    The 24th is seen as the star of Christmas proper , instead of the 25th.
