CULT BEAUTY 2024 ADVENT CALENDAR UNBOXING

[@sophiedurrant385]

Loving the hair up!! I meant to say that before, the lipstick , nails, and earrings look class. xx

[@dianabanana9474]

I'm new here and from the US. Crystal you are always so put together looking lovely and very classy. I noticed you sit close to the screen and low in the chair. I'm not being critical - I'm just used to seeing others up a little higher and away from the screen. I love how you put the products on especially the lip and cheek products. I liked this calendar but I'm glad I got the Space NK which was expensive coming to the US but I thought it was worth it. I look forward to watching your other Advents and will go back and check out your other videos. Thanks for sharing the Advents with us. 💗💗

I’ve heard multiple skin care experts rave about the Great Barrier Relieve Cream. It’s supposed to be great for sensitive skin and for someone who has been using actives and either has irritated their skin or wants a cream that will restore their barrier on the days between using strong actives.

[@barbaraschmitt85]

I love this product (apart from the smell maybe. Nothing bad, just a bit oaty / porridge like 😂). I also love their matcha cleanser

[@angatherton5236]

It is a good calendar, just got too many products I wouldn’t use, waiting for Space NK

[@DaryaKurt]

Crystal you look amazing as usual!

[@AmberRoo]

Grabbed a coffee and sat watching this in my lunch break. I'm so glad you explain some of the products so I know what they are supposed to do, because it saves me looking them up online! I think this is good advent calender, but I do think it was better last year? 😊

[@emilyjames7029]

Thanks for showing the CT wand. It never appealed to me before but it's much brighter than I thought. I'm pale so I think it would suit me 😊

[@paulaallen3845]

Its a nice calendar but im going to get the spacenk calender this year as it has more products and brands i want to use.

[@joannebooth5375]

Im interested afyer watching your vidro! 😂 But looks like the £20 gift card offer has ended so not buying until an offer is on. If it sells out, it seels out. Ill live! 😂

[@IamAnnety]

Me too 😂😂😂 I've got the calendar last year amazing but this year only got it if I have an offer.

[@baeonthemovesa]

Gorgeous colour nail polish you're wearing Crystal 💗

[@rds3151]

Being in Australia I’m so grateful they have done a non-perfume version that can be shipped here. I don’t think we will be able to get spacenk’s calendar this year as reveals show it has fragrances in it.

[@alisonriley6837]

Isamaya?? I think the only word you could use is Phalic. Deffo not my vibe but this liner looks fab x

[@janasedlak1106]

Hi Crystal. I have enjoyed very much your unboxing videos. Thanks. You have mentioned you have been using a prescription retinol. Could you please give any recommendations on how to start it or any other tips. Thank you very much😊😊

[@WFeather-ng9vq]

Glad you got this, I wanted to buy thiscand im not really sure if I want to or not...tho I prefer this better than curated with love and I love fragrances in AC Xx

[@missemd22]

Thank you for the review Crystal. Perhaps the value of the ‘Curated with Love’ is a bit less £-wise to factor in for how much the calendar will cost to actually ship overseas? These calendars weigh a lot and you get them shipped for free, so personally I think that’s an ok compromise and I don’t feel cheated. I’m so happy that there is a non-perfume version so I can receive it in Australia! I’m still smarting over the Harrods debacle where they let us order their luxury advent calendar this year and then cancelled and refunded us a week or so later. It’s was such a bitter disappointment.

[@PlanningwithCrystal]

That's a very good point which I hadn't considered.

[@Disneygek74]

The scent with love will ship to countries in europe. I live in the netherlands and I got this one.

[@missemd22]

@@Disneygek74 You’re very lucky then! It definitely won’t ship to Australia. Hope you love it!

[@SimplySteph]

Crystal can you elaborate on the e-code? I am attempting to purchase the calendar I have not yet finished the transaction but I don't see any mention of it in the checkout section and I was wondering how do you go about obtaining that code that they can send you for the $20 e code. Was there anything special you had to do in order to receive it? Thanks 🙏😊❤️

[@PlanningwithCrystal]

Hi Steph, It was listed on the calendar when I purchased it (possibly a special offer as I ordered it the day it went on sale). I didn't have to do anything to get the e-code. It doesn't mention it now so it may have only been an early offer.

[@kerrygreen5342]

I brought the calender and wasn't sure on the difference at the time as didn't say, I got curated with love, disappointed at the fact we don't get the same worth in cost and I'm in UK, would of liked to get the perfumes xx

[@anicac4424]

Maybe CB is trying to recoup some of the shipping cost by charging the same but reducing the value 🤔.

[@kerrygreen5342]

@@anicac4424 that's a good point xx

[@tanyablakelock9361]

Hi Do you know if Debenhams are bringing out an advent calendar this year?

[@kellyconnor8244]

It was reduced last year so you might want to wait on Debenhams one.

[@ashwalksharp]

I rushed over to see the Isamaya packaging…wow 😂

[@rds3151]

Same. It’s um yeah wow.

[@millsy1236]

I am giving this one a miss. I have ordered the Sephora one as I had some gift vouchers to use up. And will be ordering the space NK one this year

[@paulawilkinson6341]

Crystal u got the space NK one yet ? When u unboxing it ? Came across some girl unboxing it last night but switched off she was just so bland . Love watching u unboxing or Claire

[@emilyjames7029]

Does anyone know if EU get the international or UK version? I think Cult have an EU base because I've ordered fragrance before ( I'm in Ireland) and I can't order any fragrance from Space

[@rosecrystal5991]

Bought the scent with love. Unboxed to find 2 empty drawers. Absolutely gutted :(

[@nikkidegraaff8090]

That’s terrible did you contact them?

[@angelrose5188]

​@@nikkidegraaff8090Tried live chat not working will try again today

[@sphantomwitch]

I bought the curated with love edt. There were too many small fragrances on the other one

[@ruthiea729]

Wow products destroyed my hair - the shampoo etc after using it my husband and I spent 3.5 hours trying to brush out the matted result and my hair was soo dry and frizzled! So weirdly the money mask worked amazingly 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ when all the other products were awful I don’t know why?!?! The mask was so good I have bought the huge pot 😂

[@droomprinsesje1234]

I'm not wowed about this one, but with Space NK and Harrods not shipping it to the Netherlands, it might be the one I go for.

[@marjoleinvalk1903]

Vorig jaar wel besteld en gekregen. Waarom verzenden ze dit jaar niet naar NL?

[@baeonthemovesa]

This calendar is on my wish list, but too pricey for me as I have to pay int'l shipping and customs😕 I hope it doesn't sell out and price drops🤞

[@Euodia746]

I bought the scented one and I don’t pay any customs when I order from cult beauty. I order all the time.

[@rds3151]

Customs depends on where you live but international shipping should be free, especially on a high value item such as this.

[@julez6721]

Nice but too many hair products for me, 😊😊

[@minttusuklaa3549]

It seems better than Space Nk...

[@aldonshulland52]

I thought the same. For some reason, I can't get excited about Space Nk

[@kierenbalkwill7683]

Hair products for Xmas day are 😴 John Lewis dud this last year! It’s not a bad calendar but awaiting JL and Boots

[@SimplySteph]

I'm definitely disappointed in the value for the calendar available in the United States versus the one that ships in the UK and other surrounding territories! With that being said, cult Beauty is the 1 of the only ones this year that has made an alternate version to ship to the United states. Yes there are a few others however I'm not interested in those really! I usually get super excited about space NK but not my favorite this year. And the price is just a little bit too much! I have been running into problems EV-ER-RY-WHERE! There are a ton, and I mean a ton of Advent calendars that normally ship to the USA, which will not be shipping here this year. I find that quite disappointing to say the least. As a small content creator Advent calendar season is a very important series, at least on my channel. It's been super difficult to even get two calendars over here, due to the normal calendars I usually pick up every year having the shipping restrictions. The culprit in the Advent calendars that seems to be the one making it restricted is the sole de Janeiro sprays, whichever sent it may happen to be. Calendars containing that will not be shipping to the usa. That seems to be the common denominator.🥺 I personally am not happy with that. In the past, companies have been making alternate calendars that will ship to the USA. The one that shocked me was lookfantastic. They're not shipping they're 2024 calendar to the US this year. I feel these restrictions are going to be a huge mistake as they're probably going to lose a ton of money which only leads me to believe one of two things, next year they'll make an alternate calendar when they see what a hit they're taking AND/OR they'll make sure they include products that can be shipped everywhere next year. Either way it looks like 2024 season is going to be extremely limited and a little bit sad over here in the states! Thanks for sharing Crystal I appreciate the unboxing and you going over the differences in the products🙏 This will be 1 of only 2 that I'll be picking up this year! 🥺😭 Aside from the normal affordable ones that are produced here in the states.

[@rds3151]

I hear you. Every time I see a Sol de Janeiro spray in a calendar reveal I’m like damn. What’s the other calendar you can get this year? Look Fantastic have a version that I can buy that has swapped the SDJ spray for the cream but the price they charge is much higher than just the UK pound converted to my local currency (Australia) and I feel ripped off by that so won’t order it.

[@paulawilkinson6341]

Omg I would buy purfumes an candles 😂 if I won that 1,000
