That's a perfect Advent for my granddaughter she just turned 10 but it's not worth anything more than maybe 10 dollars if that . The containers are somewhat kinda cute .
That the last one was transparent is a bad joke. A lipstick should have color, a lip balm or even lip gloss can arguably be expected to be transparent with a hint of color and glitter. And it's an insult to compare it to children's toy makeup - it had screaming colors.
Yeah this calendar I wouldn’t ever buy for a kid 😅 they would be very disappointed on flavors alone lol. Children’s makeup does tend to be more vibrant and fun colors. This advent calendar is good for no one 😅
I’m more curious is Disney approved this product to have their branding 😅(kidding of course, it just was really bad lol) Disney licensing does tend to lead to higher prices though
@@ButtonEyedSmile You don't know much about brand licensing so I'll give you a short version Disney will of cause have a bunch of rules connected to the licensing of their brand but they'll be like: The end product shall not be toxic and Disney will get X% (at least 50%) of the net price lets call it D The end product of cause cost something to make lets call it P The company that makes the product needs to make a profit lets call it C D + P + C = the net price (the price Hot Topic pays) lets call it N Hot Topic needs to make a profit (at least 50% of the net price) lets call it H Tax (you can't escape it) lets call it T N + H + T = the gross price you should have pay if you got it at it's original price $45!
Your channel just popped up under unboxings. My lucky day. Such a pleasure to meet you. You are my kinda Gal. Friendly, genuine and honest about your reviews. If something sucks you say so. LMBO
Ah thanks a bunch! That means a lot 🤗❣️ I always try to be genuine (no paid for positive reviews here ever!) lol I have fun opening up these advent calendars, whether good or bad it’s always a surprise 😅 I’m glad you came across my channel! 🫶
Leave it to hot topic to be over priced. The lip bombs also don’t work well from there.. I got a rehydrating lipgloss and a lip balm for my friend that were adventure time themed. Her lips got super chapped after using them for a week which really sucked! They aren’t cheap either!
Ah jeez I’m sorry to hear that! Lesson learned, no more lip products from hot topic 🙅🏼♀️ I’ll stick to Walmart or Target for my lip products lol. (love adventure time btw!)
That’s so true I didn’t even think about the age of it. For something sealed though I’d hope even a year old it’s still be somewhat okay though 😅 it’s a lesson learned for me, not all clearance is good clearance lol
Right?! It’s insane how this passed final approval lol, I really hope no one paid full price for this.. or at least I hope they successfully got a refund back 🙈😭. That’s fun you used to work for hot topic though! It seems like a cool spot to work at (and the discounts are a nice perk I’m sure) 🤗
@@steimbergkarla-elena1983 😅❣️ I’m a huge nightmare before Christmas fan, hot topic did an awful job at this advent calendar. The quality is not worth $45 🤷🏼♀️🫶
Just because something has a character on it does not mean it’s worth that much money 💀💀 you can find so much better night before Christmas stuff for cheaper
Her pricing isn't fair, but it's not worth $45, more like $20. They did have to design and produce each moulded product specifically for this, so there would've been costs associated with that. If it was 25 doors, maybe it'd be worth more like the $45, but they didn't even plan the doors well. It would've been nice to put the collection box first, then evenly spread out the lip balms and shadows, so you got a bit of a break from the lip stuff.
This would be the perfect calendar for my two year-old because none of it really works!!
😂😂😂 now that is a hysterical comment! And so true, your 2 year old could open this over the carpet and you’d never know anything was used 😅
It's like Tinkerbell cosmetics is trick or treating as Nightmare before Christmas.
That’s a great reference! Ah that made me laugh 😂 I haven’t thought of tinkerbell cosmetics in years!
The frown for the first one girl your silly in a goodwayyyy lololol
I remember the grape kit, mainly the nail polish ! Had totally forgotten until you showed that bottle and brought it up😂 what a nostalgia hit
Yessss! 😅👏🏼👏🏼 I’m glad you remember the grape scented kit! Those were the good old days lol.
That's a perfect Advent for my granddaughter she just turned 10 but it's not worth anything more than maybe 10 dollars if that . The containers are somewhat kinda cute .
Agreed, the containers were probably the best of the lot. But honestly even $10 is gracious 😅
The upper corner literally says lip balms
“Lip balms shadows and more” 😉❣️
Most of them are lip products, and I think over 40$ it doesn't worth the money as well.
Agreed , way overpriced 😰😰
Nothing's more suspicious than Frog's Breath
😂❣️ “until you taste it”!
Wow, that was appalling, and blatantly a scam.😅
I just have to laugh at how bad it was at this point lol, I never had a lip balm smell and taste like a crayon before 😅😭

The containers are cute... that's about it lol
Definitely not worth the money, but you could empty the none tube containers and put in your own stuff.
I completely agree lol or somehow make the containers each into their own keychain or necklace and still get to put your own stuff into 🤩
The product may be cheap but your paying for the branding of the name and its license
Even with the branding it ain't worth it
I’m more curious is Disney approved this product to have their branding 😅(kidding of course, it just was really bad lol) Disney licensing does tend to lead to higher prices though
If the makeup was better, Disney would have made this product worth buying, but I believe they aimed this towards kids and not adults
@@ButtonEyedSmile You don't know much about brand licensing so I'll give you a short version
Disney will of cause have a bunch of rules connected to the licensing of their brand but they'll be like: The end product shall not be toxic and Disney will get X% (at least 50%) of the net price lets call it D
The end product of cause cost something to make lets call it P
The company that makes the product needs to make a profit lets call it C
D + P + C = the net price (the price Hot Topic pays) lets call it N
Hot Topic needs to make a profit (at least 50% of the net price) lets call it H
Tax (you can't escape it) lets call it T
N + H + T = the gross price you should have pay if you got it at it's original price $45!
ifitwas cheaper then thisi would get it highest id pay is 15 dollars
When makeup starts smelling like a crayon, that means the formula went bad or it's already expired 😅😢😊
Ooof I didn’t know that! Makes complete sense though. Any idea why it changes to a crayon smell? It’s so strange! lol

@ yeah learned the hard way it was for a birthday gift :’). Very cute packaging though, she was excited while it lasted :’) adventure time is awesome
Awww so sorry. 😞
It’s so bad I can’t help but laugh at this point lol
The bad taste might be age given you got it in clearance. I sometimes find a really old lip balm goes funky if not used in a long time
That’s so true I didn’t even think about the age of it. For something sealed though I’d hope even a year old it’s still be somewhat okay though 😅 it’s a lesson learned for me, not all clearance is good clearance lol
As someone that used to work at Hot topic, even by their own individual pricing standards (if you bought them individually) it is not worth $45 smh HT
Right?! It’s insane how this passed final approval lol, I really hope no one paid full price for this.. or at least I hope they successfully got a refund back 🙈😭. That’s fun you used to work for hot topic though! It seems like a cool spot to work at (and the discounts are a nice perk I’m sure) 🤗
@@ButtonEyedSmile oh yeah. The discount was great and it's a very welcoming and accepting place to work for
Its for the kids its ok not for adults its quite good
I gave all the contents to my niece (11 years old), she thought the quality was poor also lol the flavors were not good I promise
Yeah, the make up you get it. Hot Topic is like that fake toy stuff.
It’s crazy how any of these items are approved for sale at any price other than the Five Below store lol
Back in the day the makeup was so good from hot topic now it’s just cheap
💀💄👄💄
Terrible! 😂😭
Yes It IS WORTH $45 it's Nightmare before Christmas for crying out loud!!!Stop BIleaTCHING!
