      After watching a UK channel do an unboxing of the Space Nk (similar price I think) I certainly don't think this is worth the money. In the Space Nk, there were full size A.Badder - Rich Cream, Olaplex hair product and I think a Dr B. Sturm cleanser. I could be getting a bit muddled up but I'm sure there are better value ones out there with more full sizes (or at least small not sample sizes). I do realise there are very lux brands in the Saks calender but it's still over priced...I get excited for beauty calendar unboxing season every year, partly because I can't afford most of them (full time carer to disabled child). However, I love luxury beauty products. So thanks to you and Alexandra Ryan, I get the excitement of watching you lovely ladies open them. Thank you so much for posting up enjoyable content. You make a worn out Mummy smile ❤

    UK calendars are so much better you actually get full size products and a lot of the high end calenders have 30pkus products in them I think any calendar over $200/£200 should be band from putting sample sizes in there calendars and at least 50% or more should have to be full sizes

    Like other posters have said… don’t buy advent calendars from American dept stores. They’re absolute trash. Charging for sample sizes is ridiculous. I’m in San Diego but I only buy advent calendars from the UK dept stores where you actually get full size luxury products. Cindy, love your reviews and I know you’re tied to the various SA’s and brand deals you have with these stores so you gotta do what you gotta do to secure the bag but go do a Space NK, Harrods, Liberty, Selfridges or Cult Beauty review already and deliver us from this American evil 😂 You can get all these samples from your SA’s or use the copious amount of promo codes out there without having to pony up $225.

    I think the US beauty market is a few years behind the UK. Here, we've come a long way from companies trying to market so many samples as items we would pay exorbitant prices for! Last year was Cult Beauty for me, this year possibly Selfridges or Space NK- containing mostly full sized products.

    I follow Emmanuelle Alt; former editor in chief for Vogue Paris. She wore this blazer jacket that I loved and I found out it was a Balmain. I had to have one until I saw the price tag was $2695 at Neiman Marcus. I have bought Balmain’s advent calendar half off at Net-a-Porter; I love their hair mask. I love all their hair products so I am so happy that their sea salt spray is in the Saks Advent calendar. Who ever you gift that product to will be very happy you gave it to them.

    111Skin is a luxury brand, but the products you'll find in advent calendars and subscription boxes are produced in China, while their full-priced retail products are made in Europe. It's been suggested that the Made In China versions are cheaper and lower quality (similar to what high-end brands do with the products they put in outlet stores), but I've never seen a comparison.

    Pretty pricey, but still 1000xs better than the Chanel advent calendar 🗓️ ✅🗣️😂 I know, I know … but it was so bad that the effects take a while to wear off 😂
    Seriously though, I’d like to try some of those samples for brands I only see on CZcams. I agree with you that the 3ml is way too small. And as much as Sturn costs she should give potential customers plenty to sample before making the huge investment in her products (which I’d never do after seeing reviews from dermatologists). Anyway, great video as always! Hard to believe we’re in the advent calendar era already 🎉
