    UPDATE! The Calendar is on sale now for $146...just my luck haha but I do think that is a more appropriate price for the calendar :) Also! The Eyeshadows are full size but the lipsticks are minis!
    Hi guys! The actual unboxing starts at 2:21 if you want to skip my buyers remorse filled rambling! So let me know what you guys think of this calendar! Do you think its worth it or not?! And what do you think about day 24??? I would love to know! I hope you all have a wonderful day! Love ya! 💖

    The eye shadows are full size and when you are finished using the Mac containers you can return them empty to the Mac store and for every 5 you get a free eye shadow or lip stick of your choice. so when you are done with all of these products you can get more!

      Also, in my experience, it's worthwhile asking a MAC store person to show you how to use the 'weird' shades. I've been using MAC makeup almost exclusively for 20+ years now and I'm still impressed by how the clerks there can take some seemingly random combo of weird colours and give you a look that you'd never have thought of, but is totally perfect for you.

      Although I will say she had more full size products than most advent calendars. The eyeshadows and pigments are all full sizes. I believe the lip glasses are also all full size the only "samples" not including the minis were like 4 items. The minis are roughly the cost of the 8.62 is cause I think those are a 9 dollar purchase.

      Kristen no the lipglass was mini sized, the only full sized items were the eye shadows and MAYBE the pigments but I could have sworn even the pigments came in much larger sizes.
      The whole point of surprise type boxes (mystery boxes, advent calendars, etc) is to get a great value. Basically you get way more bang for your buck since your agreeing to go in blind and trust the company to give you good stuff, and for that trust they reward you with a good value. Apparently Mac never got the message because the value here looks terrible. I wouldn’t pay $8.61 for a single one of those items, even if the item is technically worth that much if you wouldn’t pay that much for that item then to you it isn’t a good value you know?

    So pros - there's a lot of cult shades and products in there.
    Cons - if you're going to spend $195 dollars you're likely already a fan of Mac and own a lot of their products so you probs have all of these cult shades and products.
    Conclusion - don't bother.
