Hey guys! The screen goes black for a few seconds during the video but it comes back pretty quickly! There must have been an exporting error I wasn’t aware of. So sorry! Value Breakdown (SPOILERS!) Eye Pencil - $45 Lipstick Case - $55 Lipstick Refil - $45 Lipstick Refil - $45 Mascara - $23 Lipstick - $50 Lipstick - $50 Eyeshadow $50 Charms - $20 each = $60 Chain - $10 Mini bottle perfumes - $208 for 5 bottles at $41.75 each (Value based on set of 7 minis sold on their website for $320) Perfume vials - $60 for 7 vials (Value based on set of 7 vials sold on their website for $60) Total Value = $701 Hey guys! I was so frustrated with this calendar I forgot to do the vale breakdown! Let me know what you think of this one! Love ya💖 P.S. I missed editing out a portion of the video so there is awakes few second of me just slowly putting a box back into the calendar😂 sorry about that!

[@droomprinsesje1234]

The slowly and quietly putting a box back while getting the courage of opening up yet another perfume is my favourite 😂, it illustrated the calendar perfectly.

[@beckinevison-smith1025]

It was also my favourite bit... so much was said with so few words! 😂😂

[@Maddym365]

I actually thought that was fitting. The disappointment 😂

[@danlong3050]

Oh, the slow put back in the box was perfect! It felt right. You're right, this is a crap product. How many broken/defective items were there? Are you contacting customer service? Cause you should. Also, what were the ratings from other customers?

[@sherriechampion7979]

I honestly have no words for this one, your frustration can be felt through the video! I'm torn between being disgusted at the company and honestly a little tickled at your frustration! Personally...Mother of pearl? 😂😂😂 you did better than me, I would have had to spent hours editing out my less than Southern Belle language from this one! 😂😂It would have uhhh....burned my bacon to open that literal can of worms! ❤😂😂❤❤ I'm not even sure my comment makes a lick of sense! 😊

[@Uniquelyneek]

At that price point at least the train set boxes could be made out of tin or something to reuse at least more than once

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

That’s a good idea! I wish they would have done that!

[@nicholeflanagan5539]

Yes that would have been really cute

[@StephMacDonald1031]

At list tin! Decoration and storage!

[@missstarstealer]

At that price the train should puff smoke and go around on a little track. lol

[@ang33123]

It could have also had lights maybe...like P. Louise...that would have been cool 🤷‍♀️

[@purpleivy9174]

Hi, just wanted to let you know, they give those charms away for free with a purchase. 😂. Same with those weird perfume tubes, they are free samples.

[@Sorchia56]

Another fun fact; you can take your shoes to a cobbler and get the red soles put on the bottom for less than 20USD!

[@chandrasunny]

Why am I not surprised...

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

I shouldn't be surprised by anything these "high end" brands put in their advent calendars when it comes to "samples", but they still find ways to get me everytime. I just kept thinking "well, it's not stickers"...💀😭

[@isirlasplace91]

What??? Nooooo!!! She paid $600 for free samples???🤦🏻‍♀️ Louboutin!!! Shaaaaame!!!

[@edithhuelskamp1649]

Yes, I watched another youtuber (I can't remember her name) who also opened this calender. She is a fan of the brand and was familiar with shopping in the stores. She was disgusted with the collection too, especially since about half of it was actually free samples in store. It was also very rude to not even give the lipstick fill the day after the case. If they insisted on being so cheap to separate it into two days, they could have at least been on consecutive days. I feel it really speaks to how low class and cheap this "luxury" brand actually is.

[@bmichellew2010]

Chanel:worst advent calendar ever Louboutin:hold my $10,000 designer bag

[@user-ll6ms4gh6t]

That is funny!! You nailed that :)

[@pinkheart315]

Chanel still is the worst 😅 Atleast you gonna use the perfumes and lipstick. Empty pouch and stickers + stamp print jewellery. Oh hell no 😂

[@Maddym365]

I know from Tati their makeup is EXPENSIVE. So this should be good 😅 Edit after watching: CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE. The amount of broken things is unacceptable!

[@Nikibaby74]

Yes. I agree. She should definitely contact customer service!

[@elizabethconley4996]

I agree as well omg. I'd be mad as hell, even if I had the money to just throw away.

[@elizabethtangora4353]

I’m getting strong “this was returned and then marked as sale” vibes already (5:19) from how the edges of the cars are damaged and the missing tissue paper for the lipstick case.

[@elizabethconley4996]

@@elizabethtangora4353 wait you're totally right!!! I didn't even think of that! I was getting 'returned products' vibes too but I thought they had a ton& put them in the calendars, but this makes more sense! It gets worse 💀

[@pamelajackson6954]

I so wholeheartedly agree this was returned. Even those vials of perfume should have been wrapped in tissue paper.

[@sarahcarroll8206]

Broken, mangled product isn't cool regardless of price point. I'd exchange a lipstick in that condition even if it came from Target. Of course accidents happen, but with so many broken products in one calendar, they're definitely cheaping out at the manufacturing and packaging levels.

[@Happytravellerkimmy]

Agreed. Harrods managed to make sure their advent calendar didn't have a bunch of mangled crap in it and it came all the way from England. This calendar felt like a brand that actively loathes its customers.

[@nothingtoit142]

It's possible it was repackaged. :X

[@Lmg149]

​@@HappytravellerkimmyOMG that is so crazy and unbelievable too

[@keawarren]

The lipstick case with charm bracelet accessories reminds me of an SNL kit from 2017 (?) on Pandora jewelry. Clueless husbands purchasing the base bracelet as a holiday gift and the wife sadly realizing all future gifts will be charms for the stupid bracelet. 😂😂😂

[@shinycardboard]

Thank you for that recommendation. I watched it as soon as I saw this comment. I also sent it over to my friend who did fall into the Pandora trap 😂

[@DevHazy]

I think I saw that!!!

[@hasu4399]

I actually insisted on getting a charm from Pandora from my Husband xD

[@angelamaryquitecontrary4609]

"I bought HIM a motorbike."

[@marciasmith4]

I really hope you reach out to customer service. There is video proof of you opening it. Your crying at smelling like the 80th perfume had me laughing at work. Been watching your videos from almost the start and you are my fav. Please dont stop making videos. ❤

[@LarryLeila]

I love how there's a moment you've been defeated by the calendar and you, unedited, put back one of the trains with a sigh of defeat, grab the next, and keep going as normal 🤣 that little editing choice was everything to me, thank you for keeping it real 🤣

[@nickolbrown4807]

I would definitely be curious what their customer service would say about the quality you received of their items and lack of luxury.

[@Brokn.Dreams]

I agree that at $600 they ABSOLUTELY SHOULD be way better quality! You ABSOLUTELY SHOULD reach out to customer service and complain. It's OK to be that person right now! 🤬😂

[@pamelajackson6954]

This box almost looks like they sent you a returned box? I saw another unboxing of this and I think everything was wrapped in red tissue paper. That is so aggravating especially if it had been a gift for someone. I would try to return it.

[@myliza700]

Yeah especially with how many bottles are broken and the damaged lipstick

[@Leslie-wb8cb]

And the fact that the boxes were bent up... like someone opened them and put them back.

[@LushQueenPersonal]

That plastic comparison at the end with the tree ornament was iconic. And your critiques were very kind, they deserve much worse!

[@sillyskittle341]

You’re paying for the name and not the product. Love listening to you call them out on their bull 😂

[@cathyberry9793]

Gotta get me some Lubi-squirrel! 🐿️ with notes of acorn and peanut.

[@HeathenDivine]

I already watched someone open this one and kept thinking how much you would hate it lmao. I didn't even buy it and I feel ripped off.

[@m.service5584]

That's the feeling I have as well!! Thanks for stating it so well!❤️

[@NatiSaednejad]

The way i heard 'crapbag' instead of 'craft bag' 😂😂

[@JenneeB927]

[@missmae198208]

That was a hint of what was to come. 🤣

[@donnaeilerman7458]

[@riakendall8610]

Rich people do money wrong... Imagine opening that on christmas morning, this is the sort of thing my husband would splurge on expecting the most amazing gift... I would have been so excited, follwed by feeling sick, trying to remain looking happy so i didnt upset my husband! The bit you didn't edit out was an honest reflection of the 'wtf' going through your mind. ❤

[@vn8033]

They should be absolutely ashamed to have sold that! I was getting frustrated right alongside you. P.S. You don't have to apologize to us. You always seem grateful and like you're trying to find a bright side.

[@feesha724]

“it’s a makeup!” had me wheezing…and not just from my current bronchitis

[@carlyrayne]

'Mother of Pearl!' Had me dying. Sorry but that was funny. I completely 100% agree with you on all points.

[@AngelaSicilian]

February advent season is my favorite

[@HadridarMatramen]

I was having an awful day. Went to the dentist, who fixed a tooth and took all my money. Got home, collapsed on the sofa for literal HOURS, and did not have the spoons necessary to go to choir - which is my ONE weekly scheduled free time activity that I really love to do. Then you uploaded this. I had already watched Lauren May Beauty unbox this calendar, so when I saw that YOU were doing it, I literally gasped and clicked on it immediately. Thanks to your suffering through this, I finally got up from the sofa, got myself some food and a cup of coffee (caffeine free), and sat upright and smiled and ate and watched. Finally. After HOURS of ADHD mental/emotional fatigue induced paralysis, I was re-animated. Brought back to life. Thanks to you, Alexandria. Thank you, most sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, for your sacrifice. PS: You should 100% reach out to customer service about all the literally damaged perfume bottles and the lipstick!!!!

[@VondaInWonderland]

I'm right there with you. I couldn't even get ready for Bible study. Watching this somehow made me feel not so alone ❤

[@makaylacerda8402]

Glad you smiled ❤

[@carynedwards1743]

I can't tell you HOW MUCH this comment made me smile. Thank you!! 🥰

[@HadridarMatramen]

@@carynedwards1743 awww...!!! Thank you for saying that!!!

[@annasmith_94]

Hey, I hope your day was better today! You made it through that awful, terrible, no good, very bad day, and now you never have to go through that day again! 🙂

[@rahnesong]

That 'reusable' lipstick container, with the chain and charms, looks like something you would buy at Claire's (and it would come without any actual lipstick too). They'd probably charge less but still more than it's actually worth.

[@66262ggfdetuj]

I would use that paper bag as a purse for the rest of my life lol

[@MissMTurner]

I've seen a company that sells precut plastic "sleeves" almost that you can put expensive bags in to convert them into purses. 😅

[@ShellyS2060]

I was thinking the same thing. Or perhaps the fanciest lunch bag ever!

[@mrssully8078]

😂

[@m.service5584]

I hope folks absolutely REFUSE to give this company any kind of free advertisement; no "support" of ANY kind. EACH of us is worth WAY more than any "brand name" product!❤️

[@amandaambrose4251]

Best response ever!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Nicolesid1]

When you put 20 away and pulled out 21 I felt that in my soul😅. Also, 21 is what legos turn into in the dark

A few years ago, I was considering buying a subscription box for my teenage granddaughter, then somehow found Alexandria! I'm SO thankful because her videos have shown what an awful scam these subscriptions and calendars are -- regardless of the price! She does a great job; love ya' Alex!!!❤️

[@kelseywillow8110]

I think it’s great you decided to work more like a make up artist and swatch without contaminating the product. I stan a Queen who doesn’t waste and understand each product may have value for someone. I am so tired of KZbinrs decluttering products for views aka throwing it in the trash while there are people who can’t even afford makeup. I appreciate that you are thinking about a way to show us products in a more grateful/caring way.

[@shannonmurphy654]

I was waiting for a sticker. 😂

[@kelseywillow8110]

Should have added Loubi-glue to fix the caps

[@TheTemptress13]

PLEASE reach out to customer service ESPECIALLY since you have the whole unboxing recorded to prove what you are saying, and see what they offer you to fix things. I would REALLY like to know what their customer service is like and if they will replace what is broken and messed up etc etc I think it would truly be valuable for all of us to know what they say and how the return/replacement process goes. If they are willing to fix the things that are broken, while still being a hassle at least they stand behind their brand and we will kjowif we do purchase from them in the future at least they will fix it. Cherry Wallis bought the really expensive Disney swarovski crystal calendar this year and she had some issues with some stuff being printed incorrectly and she reached out to them and it took so long for them to get back to her that she just wanted the refund at that point instead of replacements. They took so long to get back to her though that she was almost out of the refund window... I would be really interested to see if louboutin does the same thing or if they actually will fix their mistakes

[@just4craftsngiggles454]

Me too, I had sec hand frustration watching this

[@lindaguthrie2318]

Who would put a charm on a lipstick anyway. I was so confused 😂😅

[@Cascadeis]

Fenty did the same thing this holiday season!

[@prettynsleepy1073]

Personally would’ve been very upset if I received that calendar after spending $600 to only get that. You’re a trooper. Thank you for always showing us both the good and the real bad.

[@robbbranche]

"Offensively bad" is being kind Alex, you're such a pushover...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for sharing with us!

[@crystalrapose6405]

I was having a pretty awful day and this video made me laugh and absolutely put me in a better mood. Seeing your genuine outrage at the overwhelming amount of charms and perfume vials was exactly what I needed today. This calendar is ridiculous, the rich version of the Sephora shenanigans.

[@melissadecamp3535]

I was born and raised in KY, and couldn't help but laugh when you were talking about the horse stables. I would love to have a quarter of what they spend on those beautiful creatures

[@lisaflesher]

We lived in NKY for 6 years and our daughter rode and did horse shows. Even the training barns were beautiful. Lexington is the horse capital. Gorgeous!

[@monicajanello]

Paying $600 I would contact customer service for the issues with products. You PAID for your stuff, in good faith

[@Waterflame]

22:16-22:24 There's a bit of a visual glitch, where the screen goes black. Did that happen for anyone else?

[@m.service5584]

I wasn't sure at first, but I think she's right, since it twists up.🤷

[@xxdeviousv2]

My husband thought it was something you really wouldn't expect to see on youtube.

We use paper bags to put fried chicken in after they come out of the oil. It absorbs the grease and keeps your chicken warm until the rest is done. You have quite the fried chicken bag there ma’am 🤩

Alexandria can I say thank you so much for doing these My son who became a single day last summer was looking for stuff for his 16 year old daughter and of course his lady friends were telling him to get her one of these . I told him not this year let me watch "my girl" lol and will let him know . He was thinking this one just to make Christmas extra special I'm so glad I talked him out of it .....next year him and I will go through all these videos and he will be able to pick her the perfect one Much love Ontario, Canada🇨🇦🍁

What a good mama! Glad he listened

[@MrsMcGwire]

You’re a great mom!❤

[@m.service5584]

I'm so sorry for the loss of your DIL, Darlene. SO smart to verify what Alexandria shows before having your son purchase this ($600.00!?). I LOVE watching the videos, but just CANNOT bring myself to actually buy a single one of the calendars they sell. Ultimately it would be better for your son to make his own daily surprise boxes for his daughter, in my opinion.

[@StLsalsagirl]

@@m.service5584 That is an awesome idea! I should totally do that for my mama!

And, if you are a LV regular, you get those little vials AS SAMPLES WITH A PURCHASE. Learned that on a KZbin channel that is a LV collector. They were even furious with this calender.

[@meganweber3125]

You know that moment in How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the jim carey one) where he is being forced to try all that pudding or fudge or whatever, and he is making that face and saying no while they shove more pudding or fudge in his mouth? You at 29:44 just brought me to that movie only you are begging them to stop with the perfume. lolol (not laughing at you at all, just the circumstance) I love your channel I am very sorry this box was as bad as it was. It really is a shame that these luxury companies are so out of touch that they think these advent calendars were their gifts to human kind.

The lipstick cap to Christmas tree footage is actually WIIIILLLLLLDDD they really do look so similar

[@radlee974]

Yeah… for some reason I actually watched another channel open up this same Advent Calendar back in December. (I say “for some reason” because, generally speaking, 99.9% of my Advent Calendar unboxing video content is consumed on your channel. The other channel that I watched this through must’ve had an incredibly alluring thumbnail/title for me to have watched it there instead of waiting to see if Louboutin was a part of your Advent-Calendar-A-Thon. lol. 🤷🏼) _Anyway,_ as soon as I saw that it was the Louboutin Advent Calendar’s time to… eh… “shine” (For lack of a MUCH better word.), I knew that we were in for *quite* the ride! (Well, really just _you_ were the one in for a ride and we just get to watch! lol.) Now when it comes to the issues with this Advent Calendar, you absolutely *NAILED* Every. Single. Criticism. *FOR $600* not a damn thing should be broken. Let alone *multiple* items. *FOR $600* there shouldn’t even be *one* damn _vial_ of perfume, let alone… you got, what… like _8 to 10_ of them?! Jesus lover. How freaking ridiculous! *FOR $600,* every damn one of them should be one of those adorable, miniature bottles FOR SURE - FOR SURE! *FOR $600,* again you were 100% correct, that that first “lipstick case” should *absolutely* already come with some damn lipstick with/in it, followed by a couple of refills (For real this time!) later on in the Calendar. Oh, and last but CERTAINLY not least, *FOR $600,* if they _insist_ on putting a damn keychain in the Calendar, they sure as hell shouldn’t be splitting the charms up into 4 different boxes/days! That’s absolutely RIDICULOUS!! Now, while we’ve all _certainly_ seen worse Advent Calendars over the years, this Louboutin one is still pretty damn close to being straight up trash. And a HUGE reason for that being the case is because it’s *600 DAMN DOLLARS!!!* It is just SOOOO wild to me that pretty much EVERY DAMN “Luxury Advent Calendar” is shit! I guess rich people just _really_ love wasting their money! lol.

[@staceyjo6680]

The newest game.... lets watch to see if this is the Advent calendar that finally pushes Alex over the edge...... 😂 This one almost did it😂 Love youe videos ❤❤

[@tammyholt1798]

I was thinking the same thing.. she's going, she's about to snap!

[@dianabanana9474]

I totally agree with you. The only good thing I could think of was you didn't get "sample not for resale". That said, the quality was awful. That one lipstick looked liked it was chewed or clawed by something. I do enjoy watching Tater and Wren in the background all warm and cozy. Wren using Tater as a pillow was precious and everytime you got frustrated Wren's head popped up to make sure Mamma was okay. So precious! Thanks for doing these expensive calendars for us so we know what not to buy. Unfortunately, you had to pay an outrageous price for products that were far from luxury. Take care!

[@lisalantto2285]

Another comment said that the perfumes actually are free samples and that they give the charms as a free gift with your purchase 😩

[@dianabanana9474]

That makes it even worse! I feel so bad for Alexandria who puts in all this money for advent season .The Lancome calendar was the same price (I think) and had better products and a variety if I recall correctly.@@lisalantto2285

[@bethanylaube]

you should call & complain. i just emailed Walmart because my Wet & Wild blush was broke in my $7 beauty box 😂😂

[@KSRowsell]

I also was expecting some type of case for all those perfume vials. That could have been a better use of one of the charm days.

[@--s-0-]

there should be a bingo card made for these unboxings and one of the squares definitely should be Alexandria spilling a bunch of perfume because of the impractical sample bottles.

just started and the graciousness and benefit of the doubts being given... oh man I have my popcorn ready!

[@karaleecupcake]

How is half of the calendar mini perfume bottles with broken tops and tiny vials? It is in the running for one of the worst calendars due to the poor quality of items like the lipstick and holder along with all the low value items like the charms! It's definitely not worth $600!!

[@FolkFaninMA]

I do agree that the packaging on the lipstick looks cheap, but I also think at least one of those dents was intentional. It looked like the charm on that chain thing.

Your videos make my day! If there ever was a need for strong opinions...well this calendar deserved it. Thank you so much for what you do. ❤

[@khazbar]

Love your videos but this one is just brilliant!! Really needed a good laugh and your expressions and frustrations with this, "high-end, luxurious" advent calendar were priceless. Thank you for being you!!!

[@liznelson7344]

Couldn't click this fast enough! I love your channel, Alex! You are so awesome, and always bring a smile to my face with your videos!

[@liznelson7344]

[@MrsMcGwire]

*Alexandira talking about the perfume scent*: "Tonka bean" *Me, who is only patially listening*: "Wait, taco bean?!"

[@ocd_annaleigh]

[@chelsey8737]

I know these videos are the most emotionally painful ones to make but they're also the most entertaining and I love them so much. There's just something so good about watching Alexandria devolve into frustration and ranting. I live for it every advent calender season

Love your calendar reviews

[@PaulaAnna]

welcome my dear . Thank you very much for sacrificing yourself so much and thanks to your sacrifice, many people have avoided spending money. Watching this series with you, I also feel joy and disappointment with poor products.the lipstick packaging reminds me a lot of the JS product, best regards and sending warm hugs and kisses from Poland, for everyone
