[@kevincarberry5100]

Hey! Can’t help but laugh along when you laugh, can I ask a quick question do you think this would be suitable for a 16year old? She loved make up and I wanted to get something special for her 16, and she has fenty products. Do you think this would be suitable and is there any age limit on the vouchers? Ta.

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Hi there aw thank you 😊 my 17yr old daughter had a look at the products and loved the lipsticks and perfumes but overall she wasn’t that keen due to the skincare aimed at older women but… there’s a really good mix of things here and I’d say around 7 of what I can see in the pic wouldn’t really be suited to her are group (skincare) but there’s 45 items in total. It depends on what your daughter likes really xx

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

I’ll check the vouchers in a mo and get back to you…

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Hi the vouchers don’t have an age limit just a use by date of the end of June next year xx

[@nicolelitwicki6600]

Your giggles are cuter then the days sunshine 😊 love the perfume “grass” description 😂 that’s exactly how I explain all earthy scents bahaha

Thank you 😊 xx

[@lorrainebarbieri3445]

Wow I wish I could buy this. I love this box. All those beautiful perfumes. Thank you Claire for making these calendars so much fun. X

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Aw you’re very welcome ☺️ thank you for watching xx

[@duchesshenderson4482]

I’ve purchased the Space NK one as there’s sooooo many full sized products. I think there’s too many small sized ones in this one, and was hoping for something really great on day 25. I also don’t like coupons either, but that’s just me.

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Yeah vouchers can be hit or miss in calendars but as these were with other products, it didn’t bother me besides receiving two of the same! Xx

[@Anthi771]

Oh my gosh!! I cannot buy this! But I am so here for the unboxing!! It is lovely ❤ Thank you, Claire!!!

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Aw thank you lovely 🥰

[@TinaBacon-er5ef]

Now that was a great calendar I love all the perfumes a bit pricey but some very expensive products as well my favorite calendar so far!

[@pamelaatkinsonscats2873]

Gorgeous calendar, but way beyond what I can afford. I’m not generally a fan of vouchers in advent calendars as I don’t live near a Harvey Nichols store, but at least the vouchers are in with other products.

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Yes totally agree, if they were on their own that wouldn’t be great xx

[@nitalou]

How nice was number 25! I love hourglass and I’m lucky enough to own a few pallets from this brand. You’re right in saying that it suits more mature skin, it definitely sits nicer than some of the heavier powders. ❤

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

💯 agree! I absolutely love it on my skin - a splurge but definitely worth it! I hope it comes to Lookfantastic one day so I can use my code ! 😂xx

[@nitalou]

@@Diaryofabeautygeek omg can you imagine if it did!! I’d be constantly broke 😂 the veil powder is a dream also, I picked up a mini to try it out and I’m impressed

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

You’re welcome ☺️ xx

[@jennyjones1417]

An amazing advent calendar box, I personally can’t afford if but so worth it if you can. Great video. Please can you do a video about the hourglass ambient powder? I have one and not sure if I’m doing right, everyone loves it but I can’t see a change.

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Thank you 😊 if you have the one that’s in this calendar, you use it as a face powder but not setting powder , it’s more a finishing powder really - I use a big fluffy brush and apply it all over my face. It gives a beautiful diffused glow without shimmer and skin looks amazing! If you’re not noticing a difference maybe the shade is too pale for you. I also have a 3 powder palette and I sweep a big brush over all three shades and apply over my face. Honestly it looks amazing especially at night. Xx

Aw thank you 😊 I’ll see if I can do a mini video showing you what I use..

[@wendyrooney3681]

Love this calendar, Maison crivelli is my favourite perfume but pricey at £200 for 50ml xx

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Ooh wow I just knew they’d be pricey 😬❤️

[@stace8614]

They've really stepped up their game since last year's calendar. So much of the value was in those little vouchers that many people wouldn't be able to use as they're too far away from a HN store. I'm not sure if it's still there, but there was one in Bristol when I lived there a few years ago. Birmingham might be closer for you perhaps... saves taking a trip all the way to London! Would love to get a calendar loaded with different scents to try. I used to wear the same perfume every day and have recently started branching out and trying new ones. 😊

[@sadiemilton333]

Omg 😲 ❤what are you doing to me claire😂 this has the best range I've seen and not to skin care heavy, I'm so bored of skin care due to being obsessed with it over the last few years. My skin is as best it can be so you know the saying if it's not broken don't fix it" and my skin is annoyingly temperamental...maybe pre menopausal 😢 but wow what a box the range of products I've seen for these type of beauty calendars. I'm a huge hourglass fan makes my 43 Yr old skin look flawless...its magic for me. Have you seen their new limited edition palettes😮 I might have to add one to my collection. The price is amazing for a few of their minis for a full face in a pallet. My partner will end up having a massive meltdow soon 😂 even the purfumes I don't like I will give them with Xmas presents as extras and I'm doing table gifts for Xmas Dinner with my family so perfect! I really have to think about those one and weigh it up but I'm absolutely in love ❤😊xx

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Yes I know what you mean about skincare overload - I absolutely LOVE Hourglass powders they are my no 1 for sure, just so flattering! Yes I’ve seen the new palettes and I’m tempted lol xx

[@sadiemilton333]

@Diaryofabeautygeek someone who understands 🙏😂 which one are you thinking. I do too have you tried a lightest dusting of setting pouder by Terry over the top of it. Sets beautify for longevity I find xx

Hi lovely, this is a beautiful calendar the big negative for me is the useless gift vouchers ( i am sure a lot of people are in the same boat) my nearest Harvey nics is a good few hours away in London so I wouldn’t be able to use them at all like yourself plus I don’t know anyone to gift them too but the fragrances sound lovely though x

Hello lovely! That's a very nice counter. I bet you pricey for my blood this year. I am trying to get the boots calendar but I can't find the dimensions for the forwarding company. I was going to ask you if perhaps you could take a gander at yours maybe the shipping information it has it? It would so help me to get it here to the States. Then I could unbox it for my viewers as well! This one I always see it every year by the time I make my decision up my money's gone LOL so I'll have to live vicariously through you! 😄😉 So glad to you agian.❤️

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Awwww I’m so so sorry but I’ve now given it away, I’ve kept the products but given the box away to a friend so can’t weigh it sorry - your best bet is getting in touch with Boots and asking then. Good luck I hope you manage to sort something out xx

[@SimplySteph]

[@PrincessZooloo]

Long time subscriber, love your unboxings (expecially the advent ones as they're normally so informative and help me choose what to invest in)! I was really excited about this one when you mentioned it in your video the other day, so was a bit surprised about the lack of info you had on everything, I guess I assumed you normally do a bit of research before posting a review? Nonetheless, I have over time realised we probably have the same option on fragrances and will probably end up purchasing this calander as I was very hopeful after all of your reactions to the perfumes! I do have a question though, what is the expiry date on the vouchers, especially if there are two for the same service?? I'm obviously lucky to live just 20 minutes away from a Harvey Nics so if was to buy this, was just curious how long the vouchers would last for? Lots of love ❤

[@Diaryofabeautygeek]

Thank you 😊 with the advent calendars I don’t like to see the products in detail before an unboxing as I like the surprise of opening each day up but I can understand where you’re coming from. I’m not used to opening luxury calendars like this which have many brands I haven’t heard of before so it would have been good to research beforehand. This one alone took me around 6 hours to film, edit, upload and create description thumbnail etc so calendars take a long time to produce - I started at 4pm and finished around 10pm last night I think. But I totally know what you mean. I was supposed to have a Sisley voucher instead of another brow threading voucher - I need to contact them xx

You have tol March to use the vouchers but not all are redeemable at all Harvey Nichols stores, if you ask customer services they can tell you, I fortunately live near tge Leeds store which will redeem all the vouchers xx
