Holly ST good thing I don’t own any of those no fav at the moment Thanks for sharing babe The CL really didn’t know where they can put their free samples They don’t know how to treat their clients
Because of your Giorgio Armani Advent calendar video I bought the Armani advent calendar. I’ve never bought anything from Armani before so I’m quite happy to try something new. I think some of these brands should give you commission lol. Thank you for your in-depth videos I really appreciate them.💖
@@AHeatedMess marketing sat in a boardroom coming up with this to not only make money but get rid of items that aren't that great with a few awesome products so as to not totally piss off their customers to dupe them again next year.
this is especially agregious IMO because most of the time these advent calendars are purchased by people who cannot afford to indulge in the more "high end" brands they love after saving up on the side all year. If I were to save up for something like this and I received just a bunch of samples id be heartbroken.
The reason why I have not purchased the fragrance I want directly from them is because they don’t offer free samples. You would think for over $300 some free fragrance samples would be included
This gives major “let’s take advantage of customers who can’t afford a pair of shoes” vibes. Like I appreciate a ritual/self care moment but I can’t imagine 9 out of 10 cosmetics customers want to carry around an oversized lipstick charm bracelet around on a chain lol. It just seems like such a waste. I feel the same way about the Valentino powder purse thing they put out. So dumb
I think the high end designers decided to have a, who can make the CRAPPIEST advent calendar and get people to pay for it, contest because between the Chanel advent calendar from last year and this one they clearly are scrapping the bottom of the barrel to find things to put in these and do not want to invest any money in them yet are turning right around and selling them for ridiculous prices.
Thanks for showing us all your suggestions! I completely agree with your criticism. The one time use lipsticks are hilarious. I love the design of the mini perfumes with the gold. Looks very pretty.
I love how honest you are! Thank you for always looking out for our wallets :). Quick question, are the 4ml travel sizes spray bottles, roll ons, or the ever fun dabber versions? Thank you!
I love the Louboutin Advent Calendar packaging but the price point is way to high for what’s included. I ordered the lipstick case and lipstick refill along with the nail Polish separately. Thanks for the honest review!
I got this one only because I really wanted to smell the different scents because I want to buy A full size one and this can help me pick. Quite expensive but, I personally loved it. I love that I got a little bit of everything and the packaging was really cute. I don’t regret buying it. It was a lot nicer than a lot of other advent calendars I got this year. Sidenote, when they gave you the lipsticks they were three different shades and a brush. Not just one. Still thought it was lame but it was a little bit more than you’re showing. They should have definitely given another lipstick case! Louboutin heel charm was actually bigger and it was on a circular coin. Can’t wait to see your thoughts on it.
Yess I have a few of those lip shaped blister cards w mini brush but couldn’t find them for the video - it’s very similar to the Dior lip sample cards that are also free 🙃
@@AHeatedMess direct from their website. I have gotten better things from gifts with purchase from them for sure. I returned it with a note of that same price breakdown and that I didn’t see the value of you it if you are already a collector of the brand at all…even if you don’t have any of the brand it was bad. The lip stick samples is what really set me off for sure.
@@AHeatedMess I absolutely love giving and getting Advent calendars but I don’t think I will ever just order this one again without researching what comes in it.
@@AHeatedMess I thought you would :) I thought about getting a second. What candles are you going to get? I'm thinking it will be the Replica By the Fireplace for me. The value of that candle alone is worth more than the price of the set, plus I get some great votives to try!
Surprisingly the advent calendar wasn't available for purchase for me anywhere. Apparently they wouldn't sell these in Austria or online. One question though, as someone who spent quite a lot on Louboutin products and shoes in the past and still does, how does one get these purchase gifts? Haven't seen or heard of them either, lovely idea though!
I've just subscribed to your channel! Even tho I will never be able to afford this, it's very interesting to see you open and review it. Would be great if you could also review affordable Advent calendars from essence, nyx or loreal. :) I've also seen a Swarovski Kalender that cost around 700 euros and is filled with ornaments. Greetings from Vienna! 🇦🇹
What a bunch of bs. You pay 550 for some charms? I wonder how much soap they had to eat to come up with such a horrible idea. I really cant imagine their employees getting this crар as a gift for themselves. Like who the hell needs those lipstick samples? I purchased a Cult Beauty Advent calendar for 280 euros. It has 1100 euros inside. Anything you need for the entire year. Shame on you, Louboutin
True Idyl Jewelry sounds great❣ The Loubi World Perfume collection is a total ove affair❣I totally agree about the multiple keychains & charms; 4ml vs 9ml perfume minis; & a dot of lipstick is too scanty for this Advent Calendar (AC). If you reach out to Louboutin, they should be happy to gift you additional items as Service Recovery. They may even appreciate the feedback to promote successful AC in future. Thanks for another great review!
I think advent calendars are a cash grab putting mini and deluxe samples in a box and say "has a retail value of" and just make up a number to make it seem like you are getting a deal. I think it's a lot of retail employees not giving out the samples be it mini or deluxe even with purchase. Over the years going to Macy's for perfume I would ask if they had free samples and they would flat out say no. Now, I have been signed up for a couple years to get free perfume samples 4-5 samples at a time through mail and free shipping. Funny enough they come from Macy's but through a third party. That sneaker charm looks like a Michael Jordan "bread" Jordan shoe 😆.
I think the only solution to these big brands thinking women are so stupid they will just buy anything is to stop buying this rubbish. They think we are stupid.
You can return it?! It is always shocking to me how Americans are able to return stuff that was unwrapped. In Europe they specifically say the condition of the items must be "intact"meaning not damaged/unsealed and/or tested.
Minus the blister samplers I wouldn’t mind some of the other items if it wasn’t for the price. I agree that they should have done one of each item they owned.
but really, what can a shoe company put in an advent calender??? you are right it is loaded with the side junk they sell. Their main business is the shoe business, now, if they put 25 pairs of shoes in an advent calender............ NOW we're TALKING!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I laughed out loud at that keyring... I make purse charms, and you can purchase a pack of three of those same keyrings from Hobby Lobby for $3-$6 depending on if they have the gold link on one side. The one you showed didn't, so this is like a $1 item. 😆 Agreed this calendar is stingy stingy... hahaha
I know it might be a hassle but could you please consiider displaying the prices on screen when you say them or present a product? As a foreigner sometimes I have a hard time picking them up. Hope it's ok to ask! You don't have to of course! Love your channel!
I didn't like this calendar very much and I really wanted to buy it. Well, I saw your review. I'm going to have to pass. I think I'd better buy the Armani
I see now where you are coming from…funny as you were mentioning the small trial packets…i was thinking…where’s the cosmetics? Blush….tiny eyeshadow…i even said give a sample and add the brush! Yes….it looks like someone rushed to get this out and never put a lot of thought to it…
I was first going to write that all that stuff looks like something from the pound shop but then a realise it was an insult to pound shops everywhere, they can produce products for better than that crap
I was so waiting for you to unbox this calendar. Sorry that you are stuck with it. I hope that you recoup your losses through this video. I am even going to watch the advertisements to help you.
Thank you so much for watching 🥹 But don’t worry, I’ve accumulated enough Louboutin beauty purchases and free samples over the years that I was able to review the advent calendar without having to purchase it 🤗
Almost as disappointed as the Chanel advent calendar. I would assume that they will not do one next year after all the bad reviews or they will have to completely revamp it to include better items. Completely disappointed, thanks for sharing.
Seriously this AC really sucked, I don't understand if they call themselves luxury brands they give disappointing products...at least give cute and original things you don't need a lot of money to be creative
The fact that they have an entire range of beauty products and could have included deluxe minis of eyeshadow, blush, highlighter, eyeliner, lip liner, mascara, nail polish etc yet chose to include a sample blister card on three separate days is so insulting 🥹
Thanks so much for watching! Def a better option to try out what you like for *free* with samples from dept stores, then pick out what your really want to buy 🤗
Can you spot the four reasons 🫠 What is your favorite Louboutin beauty product?
Holly ST good thing I don’t own any of those no fav at the moment

Touché with the “I recommend spending the $ on Idyl jewelry” 😅❤ Louis Vuitton really did a number on their costumers with that calendar😂
we can only hope for a Vuitton calendar, I wish!!!
LV has only done complimentary advent calendars full of paper ornaments that were gifted to VICs, not for sale 🥹
