2023 Beauty Advent Calendars ARE SCAMMING YOU! 🤬

[@miui2548]

Saks had me rolling my eyes at each day because those are samples that you can get for FREE

[@elina8240]

True

[@antonisdedakis8639]

Literally i have a theory that they get the samples for free from the brands and after they sell them to you

[@Lil_princess962]

TRUE!

[@miui2548]

@@antonisdedakis8639 they do 😭 some of those samples I’ve received for free purely because I was nice to the sales person or because I bought an item

You need to see the P Louise adventure calendar - they KILLED it. Full sized products, shades for every skin tone, honestly 11/10

[@disneygirl5193]

Soooo trueee

[@its_lzz]

Honestly tho, finally a advent calendar that actually includes a shade picker 😅

[@iamnotkweenie2302]

frrr

Pallets and everything! It seems sooo good

That was the best Advent Calendar for this year 🤩 I got the mini one

[@Rent.Free1]

the elf was by far the best bang for your buck… stan an affordable brand 🤩

the saks one made me so mad. every door you opened was literally ONE pump of product. you can just go to the store and pump way more out of the free samples than you even got in each product. definitely overpriced. (for me at least) 😭

Wtf is sak

[@shiaannee]

the last one was kinda smart too😂 they give you samples basically so that you buy the real thing after... Which gives them more 💸💸💸

[@tiffany2179]

I definitely think the ELF was the best in my opinion. I would be most pleased with that one

[@tiamarrow6366]

For brands like M.A.C that aren’t as popular as they used to be, idk why they don’t just make an advent calendar filled with ONLY their most popular products so like Whirl, Cork, and Teddy for the lip liners….those are the most popular ones, and then the matching lip sticks and maybe a Prep&Prime setting spray. As for e.l.f, they should’ve put in their most popular products from this year so like their lip oils, and blush and contour wands.

[@mayashan]

@sassy_cathythey support g3noc1de btw

[@mollysmedley]

Elf put their most popular ones in the 24 day one

[@MeredithLawrance]

the thing that annoys me about so many beauty advent calendars is that they have the BIGGEST boxs/ compartments yet the products are absolutely tiny and they’re all SO EXPENSIVE

[@Smithpolly]

If people keep on buying them like that , they're going to keep on selling them like that. And people are going to keep on buying them because of the "I have to buy this person a present. I've no real idea what to get them that they'd want but I know they wear makeup and this presentation box looks impressive. That's one job ticked off a long list".

[@fatbunny606]

They should do advent calendars for different skin tone, so you just pick the skin tone you are that way you get like better shades for you

[@Dylanmtchll]

You could use the paint pot as a color corrector under the eyes maybe 🤷🏼‍♂️ it’s a peachy color that might cancel blue tones and brighten the under eye 😇

[@JamesCharles]

Thank god 🙄 hahahaha

I would much rather just buy a couple full sized products that I know I like than spend this kinda money on a bunch of mini/sample/least selling products that I either won't use or get only a couple uses out of 🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂 But I loveeeee James 💗💗💗

i hate getting unwanted colors too, but it is nice to try the formula to see if i would like to buy them in a shade i would wear (the affordable brands like elf and nyx)

I’m sorry but I can’t be the only one who noticed the lipstick on his teeth. James ur gorgeous u don’t need to worry abt it ❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘

[@elizabethdimmerman5607]

I just thought of a great video idea: For March Madness what if you and your friends did a "makeup product" bracket. Elf Primer vs Nyx Primer, then if Nyx wins it's Nyx vs Fenty ect ect? That would be fun to watch! Then we'd get to see the best-of-the best products

[@MishaUnfiltered]

omg when james got upset and screamed 'FUCK!!', I choked on my monster.

[@smilelikethes]

I have the M.A.C advent calendar this year. And love the full size products, but find my self hoping that it is not gonna be another lipstick since I don’t use them often enough. What would be absolutely amazing with M.A.C or other brands with a store, gave you the a wishlist of products you could choose from maybe 50 different products including foundations and other “skin tone” products. And you would have to wish for 35 diffent produkts so the element of surprice is stille there. A employee from the store can then put your advent calender togethers for you in a advent calender box. 😍

[@veradeichman-kq2kb]

honestly i like the makeup look. the white eyebrows are just throwing me off a little bit but it’s still so cute!

To be honest, if it was me opening those advent calendars, I would be more than grateful what was in them. Especially for someone who doesn’t really dabble in color. I obviously don’t have as much experience in make up as you, but I would be pretty excited especially the one with the samples I love tiny samples.
