      Or what about a pretty branded hand mirror? Or maybe 3-4 face masks arrayed in a fan? Or hell, what about having the top be the 25th day and have it be a full-sized eyeshadow palette? So many of these boxes (not all, but most) seem to not only be stingy, but also lazily put together and lacking in imagination.

      I don’t think CT is overpriced if I’m honest. I’ve tried many different brands of drug store and high end makeup and hers is by FAR the best quality high end makeup there is. You get what you pay for and it’s definitely worth the price point in my opinion. A little goes a long way, especially where foundations are concerned and it lasts so so so much longer than any other so ends up overtime costing about the same per use as some drug store brands.
      In saying that, I do feel that in a calendar at that price point, the products should ALWAYS be full sized.
      I absolutely LOVE her mystery boxes though! If you’re wanting to try some things along with a free full sized gift with purchases(I got an airbrush foundation that is my all time fave at ÂŁ65 and a full sized lipstick the last time I ordered) then mystery boxes from CT are amazing for that(though they still aren’t a cheap, but they do offer afterpay which is amazing!) ♄♄

    In the past, I REALLY wanted to try that Magic Cream. I waited until Sephora had a sale and bought myself a jar. The smell-- oh nooooo --, it smelled like what one imagines an old shut in would smell like. I actually had to return it, because the smell didn't wear off, that odor just stayed put and wafted up my poor nose all darn day. I was so disappointed, having such excitement when I was finally able to purchase (afford) that Magic Cream; ruined because someone went crazy in the fragrance department. Yikes!

    You should compile the best finds from all the calendars and do a list of 12-25 products and why you like them. A lot of people won’t buy the calendars but really value your opinion when trying new products. Also, once you’re done with calendars this year, will you tell us which one you liked best? I know they get a lot of hate typically in reviews for all the reasons you mention here and in other videos, but I would love to know which one you like best! Love your videos!

    Oh yes girl this chest is exactly the same as last year EXCEPT for the handles..(my thought on that is they didn't sell all of last year's so they took the chests and switched the crystals to stars instead)
    I got last year's and this year's as well and was disappointed just like you.. I mean I love the items.. well... the full sized items, but yeah it's a pretty nice, but expensive, advent calendar. I am hoping they are going to be doing mystery boxes again soon.. I missed them last week đŸ˜„đŸ˜„ ughhh... all in all I really like the CT advent calendars. ❣❣❣
