I will try to get this. I am not so much interested in makeup products, I own too much already and use little, so this is the most reasonable one for me. Space NK is somehow more beautiful, but Space NK's packaging seems cheap, I really appreciate a stable nice calender to use for organizing little things.
I thought about it but probably won't (my sense of what is a reasonable amount of money is changing as I look at price of London season tickets). I think your mum buys more expensive beauty than anyone I know I'm afraid, not heard of anyone who buys La Mer before.
This is good. OK, so there are a couple of duds for me. The bath stuff I won't use because I only shower. The quartz thing can go straight to the graveyard. I'm trying very hard not to be too caustic about Barbara Sturm. It's overpriced. The end. However,I love the deep cleansing mask. The VB lipstick is a much better colour. And like you, I'd really like to try the Sunday Riley pink stuff. Do I want this calender? Yes, there are elements of it that I really like, but I still think Space Nk is winning by a nose. Thanks Renu, always grateful to you. Xxx
Maybe my cat Sebastian will enjoy the gua sha 🤔
I think it might be the best so far for me. Really not wanting to spend that much though.
Love this!!! Why don’t they send makeup brushes instead of these face rollers. One shelf in my fridge is now nearly taken up with just rollers!
Also the rich cream! Why do they keep sending this elbow/knee cream in every calendar – send the oil!
Despite those 2 I love everything else so my list is now – cultbeauty, netaporter and Liberty if they all send to Ireland 🤞🏻
Thanks Renu for another great video. My husband is now watching them with me hoping for a roller rant! 😂
What's the release date
I will pick this up this year (just hedging my bets I case website fails for cult beauty again) 😁 thanks for the vid Renu
Been waiting for this! Thank you! I'll be getting this one along with Space and Cult hopefully as I did last year. I love trying the different products and brands this has but disappointed like you at the gua sha and pillow mist (I have this one already and it gives me a headache 😖)
Yes I want serums to make look younger 25 years too. Haven't found one yet though lol. I do like this one. I think I'll get that one as I haven't bought one before. Thank you Renu for doing this again and all the research.
Another gua sha stone 🙄 I’ve already got that exact one, as well as two others. I should pass them on. I’ve tried that 111Skin serum before and it did literally nothing, so I can’t personally add that to the total of things I would pay for. I haven’t tried that DBS serum, and maybe it’s nice, although I’ve been underwhelmed by everything else of her’s I’ve tried. Eh, I’m quite blasé about it all this year, although do appreciate that the top three advent calendar picks at least include decent sizes. There are usually curations coming out for Christmas, like the recent CB cult conscious box, which seem like better bets. I do like the whole advent calendar approach, but I’m not paying for the box!
👏👏👏 My thought exactly, 3rd on my list after CB and Space NK, I’m tempted to buy all 3 and have no buy until 2022 advent season, but I know that’s not gonna happen 😅 I’m not sure about some of the brands in the calendar, like the holi(oil), sure they can charge $200, but I can’t see in the ingredient list it’s worth it. Looking forward to your Liberty review, it’s disappointing to me 😥 I bought 2 Liberty beauty bags + the director ones on its way this year, all amazing, but what happened to the calendar???!!!
Renu talk me off the ledge, am between this one and the Space NK one, UGH
I'm with you, I want to go back to my toddler hood too!! lol
Wow, this one’s really good! Some over-priced products, but this is a great selection!
Hi Renu another excellent video which cracked me up with laughter! You can do stand-up comedy as a side gig! This calendar is very exciting 😀and got me rubbing my hands in confusion with space nk and also cultbeauty , at least this doesn't have two mascaras, the ordinary and the inkey list items and lets not forget those vitamins! Also VB lipstick is a nice shade in this one aarrgh! Decisions are so difficult 😫 I want all 3 of them!
But Alas my budget won't allow…
I remember cult beauty used to do a Gwp in September? Is that in the pipes? As I'm holding off buying hudabeauty wild obsession just bcz of gwp…
Looking forward to the rest of advent calendar videos!
the Omorovicza mask from the picture looks like its only 5 or 10ml, I doubt its 50ml?
The pink drink in the picture and underneath is 100% the 50ml not the 25ml?
I’ve decided not to get any advent calendars this year… I went a bit crazy buying them because of lockdown boredom that now I am literally swimming in samples and deluxes that I can have a skincare buffet for my body (instead of just that tiny real estate being my face)
This is truly a fantastic calendar! I will definitely be saving up and try to get one for next year.
Have you done a cult beauty reveal? I had thought so but can’t find it
Top so far but definitely holding out. I’m worried the red eyeliner might make me look like a zombie too.
This is going to be my advent calendar purchase this year. Looking forward to the omorovicza mask and a couple of others, good curation of products as you say!
Release date?
Any update on this one?👀 it was supposed to be released today…
Thanks for the review! You are the best at analyzing the value of boxes⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Do you know, when it releases? I am planning to get this one for my girlfriend 🙂 Did I miss the release date in your video? If so, I am sorry!
The calendar has just appeared on their website and – surprise surprise – it costs £255 not £225 😛 I can't stop thinking they did it on purpose… I know the value is there, but with that price increase out of the blue, I'm wondering if this is still something you'd fully recommend?
They finally launched Net-a-Porter, BUT remember, price is updated to £255: https://fave.co/3a5gS2Q
Recently in the sale for £128….The test is putting it aside for next year. Great video and extremely helpful, thank you.
