Last year one was much better. Not going to buy one this year. I have the SpaceNK one and for me it is still a winner this year.

[@misssjw]

I went for the space nk one too! Great taste 😊

[@vanessaclaerbout]

Space nk to Belgium is 285 euro cult beauty with the code for 15% off is only 225 euro. For the price difference i choose CB.

[@littleshebear6413]

Not for me, i prefer the Space NK and the Harrods ones which i nay pick up if discounted.

[@Bronaghmariaquinn]

I'm so glad you said that it was slightly disappointing because I was struggling to be enthused by them too. It's a really pretty calendar but space nk wins hands down

[@tingeling5663]

I get this every year, a lot of hair products this year, but I like that it has more products and not just two really expencive ones and the rest are fillers. Sorry your lid was missing from your AB cream. I would e-mail them about that. Such an expencive product, really should have gotten the lid!!! And...really wish the pillow case was in silk and not polyester. :( The purpose of sleeping on silk kind of disappeares when it's not even silk.

[@starfire2414]

I think there was just too many hair products for me this year. Last year had more skincare which is what I’m after.

[@rebeccaz1992]

Never having heard of this brand, I decided to order this calendar after watching this video as a Christmas present to myself from my husband 😂😂 I wanted the Space NK one but it is sold out 😔 I have the ASOS one coming as well and am super excited for the arrival of both! Despite what others have said about the contents this year, I am new to Cult Beauty and thought this was still an amazing calendar, plus they had a goody bag worth almost $500AUD for free with purchase!! I'm in Australia and whilst we do have some decent options for calendars here, I have found the British ones to be the best and will definitely be keeping my eye out next year ❤

[@na3211]

You doing it great, not so hysterical as other influencers

[@na3211]

By the way the cube of the augustinus bader is really missing

[@gerdauskaitee]

At first, i really wanted this, joined the waitlist and cant wait to buy it. But after seeing sneak peaks, i immediately bought space nk 😅i also have asos and lookfantastic, space nk is arriving today. I am very happy for my choices. Anyway, beautiful review, thank you❤

[@katiroos]

Same

[@aamyko]

I wonder how many calendars put in items that are “not for resale” or “free samples” That really is shady of Cult Beauty putting that mascara in.. 🥴🥴

[@lisaaustin4561]

They do that to stop a certain cross section of society that would try to “return” it.

[@anicac4424]

Seems odd that someone in the marketing department didn’t determine that putting two of the same type products in consecutive days wasn’t a good idea.

[@lol_ikblog601]

Есть продукты ради которых мы и покупаем адвент календари, например крем от Августинуса)) поэтому я думаю это хорошая выгода

[@robbbranche]

I'm on Advent Calendar purchasing restriction..🥲! I love this calendar and gift it to my wife every year, but, I wanted to switch it up a little this time after watching your Space NK review, so this one is a pass! Another great edit from the Cult Beauty team, but, No "Samples", No "Not for Resale" items, Please Cult Beauty! It's still definitely worth the buy! Thank you MissBoux, great presentation!

[@missesAnnCooper]

You are a very good husband who cares alot about your wife's skin care and beauty, I rate you for that. I've seen some of your comments on others advent calendar unboxing videos from other social media influences and you are are absolutely right SpaceNK advent Calendar its much better. I actually purchased the SpaceNK and the Lookfantastic advent calendar I was considering getting the Cult beauty calendar within the first few minutes of watching this video and it had the code %15 off and plus a free gift worth £95, so the calendar was gonna cost me £191 instead of £220 and I was about to purchased and I've changed my mind. Then I thought maybe I could try and get it. but the code doesn't work anymore, there is not free gifts nor 15% off and I am definitely not planning on getting the cult calendar.

[@ghizlane3167]

Its fab calendar, i love your unboxing. I got one 😊 yay

[@mochowdhury9620]

Love the way you do advent calendars, you’re defo one of the best out there! The cult beauty advent calendar is so disappointing this year, it’s like they just shoved all their left over stock into a box this year

[@Travel_sightseer]

Nice collection of products, i didnt buy the cult of last year so im thinking either to buy this one or the SpaceNK one, ordered the Jo Malone calendar yesterday and it’s arriving today, cant wait 🥰

[@shannonosullivan8271]

After the Dr Levy mask, when you said Pricey I died, I rewound it so many times 😂😂😂😂 Karen, I'm waiting for the 'In the Style' advent calendar, it launches 1st October, I can hardly wait!! ❤🎉

[@traceysolley7134]

I don’t know how to feel about this one, last years was so much better overall but I’m loving the makeup in this years. Time to digest and review in a few days . ❤

[@susannegyllengard9250]

Seem to be a great advent calendar

[@aliciachristensen4418]

i use the conserving beauty instamelt face masks. there's so much serum that i covers the face, neck, and even the arms/hands, and hair. just leave it in overnight. fabulous!

[@tanyajohnson7714]

I had this one last year and it wad absolutely amazing I got a free gift with it aswell which was worth a fortune..3 products are the same as last year and and bit more makeup and considering I don't wear make up I don't no weather it would be a waste...I gave my Charlotte Tilbury pallet away because it was no use to me still an amazing advent calander but I think I'll keep looking this year 👍

[@sarahpie3147]

I’m a bit surprised by this because before it launched, people were making KZbin of what’s inside and there seems to be a lot of samples but it didn’t like it to me, now you have made this video I’m torn of getting this now, with my budget for AC arghh! 😅 great video as always

[@fionacheek3020]

Yeah I know what you mean, it was always the must get calender. Good but seen better this year.

[@user-be6tg4er7h]

Thank you for your work, video is amazing! Though this calendar is really disappointing for me.

[@UsernamesForDummies]

I’m still missing body products. A great moisturiser, body oil, maybe a foot creme? Last years’ was mainly serums and face creams. That’s why I decided to buy the Harrods one this year. Who knows, I might get disappointed…

[@Sabrinajaine]

I'm a bit more excited about this now but I'd only get it if it's reduced a lot

[@Sabrinajaine]

Diaryofabeautygeek did an unboxing as well and also had products with missing lids! Very strange

[@jessticles1]

It’s weird your Rich Cream didn’t have a lid. I watched another video where they had different products missing lids…. (One was the shower gel!)

[@diane2015]

I have purchased mine on pre sale whithot thinking too much. It was on a Sunday and I have tried to cancel my order two hours later after I have acttually seen what is inside. Of course they did not allow me, because apparently they have taken the money and the order is in processing (yeah taking money with a credit card takes 2 seconds, so basically is never possible to cancel order). Then two days later they add the Hair GWP automatically to the calender... which a customer like me who buys a LOT from them and got pre access and therefore will not recieve the GWP. This is absurd...and they have told me that I have to wait for it to come to me and then return it (if they do not come up with some reason that I will not be allowed again, which will not surprise me). So they have pissed me off so much, that I will deffinately go through the whole process and return it. Hopefully it will not get lost in mail or something, because it will not surprise me if they wont return my money in that case....BE CAREFULL when purchasing from them.

[@leannepaxton5012]

I love Cult Beauty, but their Customer service team is an absolute joke, in my personal experience. I have had so many issues with them when I have contacted them with an issue. If you have a problem that is a little bit out of the norm, forget it! The Customer service team are not going to have a clue and for some reason, they don't seem to be able to go and ask someone who might know the answer to your question! They are all friendly enough and seem really nice in their messages, but I find their knowledge lacking sometimes. I get that I have some different issues than most of their customers as I live in Australia, but if you don't know the answer to something, go and ask someone who might! And keep asking different people until you get an answer! Also, I received an eyeshadow palette that I had bought, and one of the shades/pans was completely smashed. I chatted with the online live chat, who asked me to send a message with photos, which I did. After she saw my photos, she immediately offered me a full refund or a replacement palette, I wanted a replacement as it was such a beautiful palette and the most beautiful shade was the one that smashed. Plus, it was supposed to be a gift for someone else. She told me that was no problem, it was probably the best interaction I had had with someone from their Customer services! The following day I woke up to see a new email from The Cult Beauty Customer Service team. They wanted to apologise about my broken palette and to tell me that they would be issuing me a 10% refund to make up for it!!!!!!! 10%!!!! When I had been offered a replacement or a FULL refund the day before!!! So, of course I emailed them once more, to ask what had changed as only the previous day they had offered me a 100% refund or a replacement! Why only 10% now?! I got a reply apologising and telling me that they would be issuing me with a full refund!!! I really wanted the palette! But at this point I was over it and didn't want to take the chance that the next CS agent would mess everything up! A full refund was better than possibly receiving another broken palette and having to deal with this again!!

[@crystaldragon19]

I dont think they shop to the US this year right?

[@droneandpix]

Doesn’t really matter what’s in each day you can just move them around?? It’s not like they’re sealed, mine came today, that’s what I’m doing plus adding some more bits in and extra on Xmas day as well as wrapping everything that’s in each day so they’re not tempted to open all in one day :)

[@londongirl891]

This will be a miss from me. Not so good. Plus I already bought 2, Lookfantastic and Selfridges 😂 I’m done! I will get the Cult Beauty skincare edit box though. Those are always amazing.

[@jirusakpere9508]

Pls can u give away the Augustine bader cream 😢 it’s really good for my skin got it last year and loved it, it’s too pricey so haven’t used it in a while. Pretty pls

[@Truth1561]

As is often the case, the discount code doesn't work on the advent calendar. The only one I've found where a discount code worked was look fantastic. I got £10 off that one.

[@melissaleonard3073]

I really want this but the coupon code isn’t working. Chatted customer service and they could not resolve for me.

[@MissBoux]

That's really annoying! I didn't realise there was a coupon code when I bought it so I paid full price but still worth it xo

[@user-fw6nd6qw6b]

The code wouldn’t work on my iPhone but did work on the iPod. Try using the code on a different device and see if it works. Good luck 😊

[@tracytaylor2247]

I’ve decided on Harvey Nichols and Avant this year but this one was definitely a contender. Xx💗💗🎄🎁🎅🏻

[@user-fw6nd6qw6b]

Someone said the code only works on the UK site , try that 😊

[@MissBoux]

What do you think of this year's calendar?

[@robbbranche]

Love it but decided on the Space NK to partner with Harrods....

[@Victoriacariad]

I went with Space NK too. I got Cult Beauty last year. This year CB has a sleeping eye mask, a mirror and a pillowcase - I'm not interested, I happen to be in need of a new compact mirror but I'd rather products than that rubbish! 😅

[@zanetabednarz5938]

Always Cult Beauty is the best but this year I'm soo disappointed 😢 I was getting this calendar last 3 years but this year I will pass 😢 nothing special plus too much hair care

[@leannepaxton5012]

Unfortunately the discount code no longer works! So disappointed!! But I mostly like the calendar! I'm not impressed with all the Cult Beauty items, like the compact mirror, or yet another sleep mask. I would have been happy about the pillow case if they had of included one that was actually real Silk! Not this cheap knock off version. I still like a lot of the items in the calendar, but definitely did not feel the excitement I expected to!! I bought Space NK, but still waiting for it to arrive, I'm in Australia, so it might take a little while!! But I am most excited about Liberty London!! I just hope I have the money for it when it finally comes out!! Thanks for the unboxings! It was because of your video on the Cult Calendar last year, that I went online and purchased it (Last year!), my first ever beauty advent calendar!!!! And thus started an obsession!! Lol I so badly want to get them all! But it's a lot of money, plus, because I live in Australia, a lot of companies won't ship their calendar here, especially if there are any aerosols or perfumes in their calendar! Which I get, I totally understand, but I wish these companies would come out with an "international-friendly" version, for those of us who live overseas, but still desperately want to be able to buy these amazing Calendars from home!! Instead, I have to have them sent to a UK-based relatives house and then get them to remove all of those lovely perfumes and any dry shampoo sprays etc, before having to pay ridiculous international shipping fees ($150!) To get the rest of the calendar shipped to me in Australia! The only reason I am willing to even consider paying such high shipping fees for each one, is because of the huge difference between what we pay for these, verses what they are worth!! Whereas, with the likes of Cult Beauty, at least they don't add any prohibited items for international shipping, AND they deliver to Australia for free!! Express shipping as well! That's enough reason in itself to get their calendar, that and the Rich Cream by Augustinus Bader!! I can't believe that people complain about receiving Augustinus Bader products!! They mustn't realise just how good their stuff really is!! 🤷🏼‍♀️😊🙏🏼🌸

[@perspectivamoderna]

I don't think we needed 33 products in it, to be honest. We could've just done with 24/25 much better ones, and definitely no to the silly mirror, mask and pillow case. Most of us have items like that (or even multiple of them), they're pretty much just clutter. As others have said, I wouldn't buy this even at a 25-30% discount. Maybe they just weren't able to get good brand partnerships this year? Or maybe they're tired of giving people an attractive deal? They should focus on making a good calendar at a lower price point and not overfill it with nonsense or minis and then ask nearly 300 euros for it.

[@sshomemaker168]

Hmmmm not for me

[@anetakowalczyk5]

Last year I bought CB calendar with a super cool goody bag, this year I am still thinking if I want it or not, if I like it or not that much. I have the same problem with Look Fantastic calendar, everyone says it's so good and I am not sure if it's good for me, maybe because I have LF box subscription and many products from the boxes repeats in the calendar. I bought Space NK calendar this year and I agree with you, it wins with CB. Btw.I love your unboxing :)

[@glchzh9118]

I'm super disappointed with the Cult Beauty calendar this year. It doesn't make sense to include small hair products. Additionally, the sleeping mask and pillowcase are not silk like last year; they're made of satin Polyester, which makes a huge difference. I don't understand why are they including shower gels, candles, and little mirrors in an expensive calendars. Overall, it seems like they added some random items without considering how a person would actually use them. I won't be buying it this year.

[@janeellis2034]

Not for me this year, far too many hair products for me, having short hair.
