This really gives the vibe that, I don't know - Dior hired someone to conduct a wee bit of industrial espionage over at Chanel, because they were worried that Chanel was releasing a luxury calendar as well. But then the spy came back, like; "Nah, nah... we cool. We can do whatever. As long as we don't put empty gift bags in there, or a plastic bracelet, people are gonna be JAZZED." And then Dior's team had a laugh, left work early, and went to play golf for the rest of the year.

There needs to be an advent calendar committee because these expensive sampler calendars are ridiculous.

The most expensive brush that would be used to apply Airflash spray foundation, simply couldn’t be washed. That’s right, you couldn’t wash the brush because the dark blue paint would chip from its handle. A $60 brush and it’s gross forever and ever lol.

I am a regular customer of Dior and I can tell all the products from this AC are all sample products. They give away those tiny sample products when the sales asked you to top up what you have purchased (say you have bought US$30 for a lipstick and they say they are having a promotion now and each purchase of US$35 or 40, you will receive a sample perfume or a serum) >< >

[@erinxox8828]

Sometimes I forget that people actually buy these advent calendars to use as an advent calendar and not for KZbin videos😂

[@Blankphotograph5799]

And could you imagine how disappointed youd be after opening each of these doors (or the chanel one for that matter)

[@erinxox8828]

@@Blankphotograph5799 I’d be so mad. I genuinely don’t know how these companies get away with it. Like who thinks that putting multiple keychains in a couple hundred dollar advent calendar is a good idea? It’s ridiculous…

[@chellann]

@@erinxox8828 I wonder if that is done, especially in the higher end calendars like Chanel, to create a limited run item only available by purchasing the calendar. Since the item doesn't have a base price like the samples and minis to calculate a value it becomes a "collector's item and therefore they cl I'm it is worth whatever someone will pay for it. A good PR department can spin anything, even why a $3 key chain has enough value to be included in $300 to $500 advent calendar. This is my first year watching this series and I have to say that I am thankful to have so many little ones to buy for that only one of these calendars actually has tempted me.

[@Waywardwindfall]

But do they? Not being a smart ass. I don't know anyone who buys these for anything other than making fun of them. Do you know IRL people who buy them?

[@erinxox8828]

@@Waywardwindfall Tbf no, the price of the more expensive calendars is probably more than what gets spent on me for presents for Christmas in total. I know people who get the cheaper ones, like the revolution or elf ones, but mega expensive calendars like the Chanel one seem a bit pointless tbh😂

[@deevah2450]

If you have more calendars, I'll watch the unboxing!

[@Hannah-rq8bf]

You opening these advent calendars is the gift that just keeps giving

[@erinsheline8398]

Bless your heart Allie...you think that just because Dior can afford it they're actually going to do it lol, I just love you. My mom collects tiny perfume bottles also and Dior is her absolute favorite brand of scents. Btw, your nails look REALLY pretty 😍! P.S. Ren and his Caterpillar! I just love him

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Yay! Our first post-advent calendar! Bring on the disappointment!😭

[@thelinnyrebelleshow1080]

Use what you get as wedding gifts to wedding parties or have it as displayed for wedding party can before wedding or during reception to touch up make up , to smell good, and if hot and sweaty.

[@karenmcdonald3696]

Just to let you know that I love your unavailing of the OVER PRICED ADVENT Calenders and of course all of your other fabulous videos. I’ve watched the people that do all the high end stuff and myself I feel like that they talk down to us everyday people. I have so much FUN watching you. I be come Close to peeing myself sorry TMI. You are a true person nothing fake about you. Thanks for making me smile when I watch you. If I’m feeling down I just watch you, thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@linesmakeshapes]

I'm legit loving these videos, obviously your videos are chaotic and hilarious but in some way you seem so relaxed and open, it feels so wholesome to watch!!💞

[@parula26]

“Homme” means “man” in French and it’s pronounced like “Uummm”! Love these unboxings! They’ve been the highlight of this holiday season!

[@writergurrl1]

Wren in the background of these videos now is life. I, too, have an office buddy who sleeps in the corner while I work. I love him getting his caterpillar today! XD

[@emazey5044]

Ren napping in the background is everything lol! 😍🐕 Yay for bonus advent calendar unboxings!

[@ellef2468]

I love your lipstick and gloss(?)! What colors are they??

[@chayafaith710]

I would love to see a video where you try to buy the full size item of each thing in the advent calendar and see how much it totals compared to the calendar. Or even ounce price compared to retail. Cause for 550 bucks I feel like you could probably get a decent haul from Dior and not a bunch of samples.

[@1akinor]

noooo, don't stop the advent saga! keep going!

[@elizabethtyler8634]

Honestly if they had charged $250 for 24 samples with 1 full-size perfume I would have bought it in a heartbeat!

[@nl663]

I looooove your shirt/sweater!! I am always looking for that style and can never find something like it! Also, thank you for endlessly supplying my brain with content. I often want to shop or am curious about an item and I can always count on you opening something so I don't have to!

[@traceysolley7134]

Some nice perfumes but no way is it worth $550! Hope you had a great Christmas and wishing you all the best for 2022 x

[@boogiebear3095]

Same, love me some eye cream. You must love getting so much rose scented stuff. It’s like they have it out for you.

[@minagica]

I love the Miss Dior minis, I have all of the current ones, including Rose n' Roses. I'm not a rose fan either but I do collect these and I agree that it doesn't smell bad for a rose scent

[@riomadre]

I want someone to go through these expensive advent calendars and look up each product and calculate how much $ per ounce it costs, then calculate the value of each door/drawer, and then calculate the actual value of the whole calendar. I've watched enough of these unboxings to suspect that they're rarely worth what you pay for the calendar, much less what they claim the value to be. Bless her, because I would NEVER buy an advent calendar that doesn't have Reeses peanut butter cups in it ever again.

[@kelqueen9998]

I did it for the Chanel one. (You have to kind of guess at some of the mini sizes, but I was pretty generous with that.) They were basically valuing all of the non-products at about $250 for stickers, keychains and crap jewelry. Ridiculous. 😡

[@conifercrow]

I would buy year-round advent calendars if they had peanut butter cups. I'm just saying.

[@lseh]

I wanted to do this last year… then said I’d do it this year… I ended up being too busy but maybe next year 🤷‍♀️

[@lseh]

@@kelqueen9998 I would rate all the items they don’t personally sell as a $0 value.

LuMi Levelup did a video showing how many items were freebies, or comparable to freebies she had previously gotten.
