[@RollwithAmber]

The box proportions are cracking me up! 😂

[@taraedwards1892]

I really wanted this one to be better, the colors are stunning, but STICKERS, SPONGES, AND PUFFS oh my 💙💙

[@MarlettMcKinney]

This was a let down. Thanks for taking the hit. I always love your makeup.😊

[@nygalflheart333]

I laughed out loud when you pulled out the sponge lmao! That's crazy they def wasted a lot of box space for several of them! Def need to redesign 100 percent! Loved the shades tho!

[@_JanetLouise]

Syd bought it so we don't have to ... thanks Syd

[@shawnashook1635]

The pink highlighter was my favorite

[@alikc25]

This Calendar should be in the last spot.

[@lbednaz]

I know here in USA, we have "Community Workshops", typically within a day program for disabled adults. They either get a few cents per item or below minimum wage to do piecework, like wrapping individual items or putting together a set of manicure tools for example. They then earn typically less than $50. a week which doesn’t effect their Social Security. They are extremely proud to be getting paid for real work and having some extra fun money! I used to be a Case Manager for disabled adults who lived independently with support services as needed.

[@SubscriptionSisters]

Ohhhhhh! That makes sense! Thank you so much for sharing this. I had no idea. Learned something new!

[@RollwithAmber]

As a physically disabled adult and with all due respect, this is an egregious take on that situation. I advocate AGAINST sheltered workshops. They boil my blood because they exploit disabled employees by paying them an insultingly low wage. There are subminimum wage laws that allow this in some states. It should be illegal because it shows major partiality. If they were paying a non-disabled person to do the exact same thing, the employer would be legally required to pay them fairly for their labor. It would be like Sydney being forced to sell her lip balm bundle boxes for $0.25. Such low wages communicate that the disabled person's labor isn't valued or respected. If they were compensated fairly, they wouldn't need SSI/SSDI/DAC benefits. In 2024, the federal SSI rate is $943 per month. Another $50 isn't going to bring them out of poverty to the point where they can put "fun money" as a line item in their budget. I'm thankful my husband provides for me because I'd be lost without him. If any disabled person is "proud" of making $50 for hours and hours of work, then they don't understand that they are being manipulated. It is another form of slave labor. I have never met a physically disabled adult that understands the situation who is "proud" of making an insultingly low wage. I have no idea if this advent calendar had anything to do with sheltered workshops or not. I would boycott if it was confirmed it did.

[@SubscriptionSisters]

Well to be honest I have no clue if this brand has anything to do with these workshops or no. Actually I didn't even know these were a thing here in the states! Wouldn't there be labor laws to protect everyone from bad wages?? Because that example does sound very unfair. :/ But I don't know anything about this either.

[@lbednaz]

@@RollwithAmber I am referring to intellectually and neurological disabled. This populace would never be able to maintain a full-time above minimum wage job that might be able to get them off SSDI. This group of adults attend a day program because it isn't really safe for them to be alone 24/7. Most worked an hour at a time up to most of 3 hours during their 8 hour day program doing it in 15 - 30 minute spurts. If they earn over a certain amount they lose some benefits, so this is just extra money. A company would never employ a person at minimum wage to tissue wrap a lipstick. In a perfect world, schools and jobs would work with individuals strengths to aid them to be functionally independent....but let's be real, there will always be a community of people who could never be able to earn enough to live independently. In my experience, adults who have support services to maintain their independence, are thrilled to EARN their own money. They are proud of working and getting a paycheck. I don't feel they are being exploited by the businesses using their services. Most of them are small independent businesses who have a relative who is disabled, so they accept slow not perfect work in order to help the workers self-esteem. Again I am not discussing physical disabilities, that is an entirely different group. My clients were developmentally delayed, severe autistic, on heavy anti-psychotic meds, Down's Syndrome, etc.

[@RollwithAmber]

@@SubscriptionSisters A very old law from 1938 lets businesses apply to obtain a "14(c)certificate". When approved, it allows them to employ disabled workers for less than minimum wage. Basically it exempts the employer from laws that would otherwise grant every employees minimum wage, regardless of disability status. I didn't know it existed until I was struggling to find a competitive job and started researching it. 18 states have abolished 14(c) certificates so far and there is federal effort to get rid of it. ❤

[@dianamcmaster1093]

Save your money and go out and buy the full sizes you like.

[@SparklingDivineD42]

It's cute, shades are gorgeous, a little messy when opening up, as you were pointing out, I'm certainly glad it's not more than $60 lol

[@kellywolfe5930]

I would like to see a breakdown of the value of everything that is actually in the boxes compared to the prices say it equals to and then of course the reality of the price that's actually in there .... Thank you for your videos 💙💛❤💚💜

[@faithruntz2969]

The reason the boxes seem disproportionate to the items inside is the same reason why some calendars have the numbers listed in a random order. It’s to keep you guessing about what the advent has to offer and I guess I’m the only one fine with that lol

[@taraedwards1892]

Same Sydney, I feel the same 💙💙

[@anhonestreview5220]

No way would I pay $60 for that. $30 mayybbeee but then I’d give it to my 7 yo niece! She’d appreciate it. Sorry Sydney. I agree with someone above who said don’t waste your money next year!

[@laramauss1948]

Shipping is not the problem, Your US Customs takes mostly one week to finish its work.

[@sabrinafaye]

Thanks for the video, glad I got to see how much love the brand puts into the box lol How they made a smoke show on the contents, instead of creating an illusion they could’ve just put the makeup in a small pouch 😂had they done that, I wouldn’t have been so pissy about it.

[@PatriciaNorton-j9u]

I’ll be skipping that one. Thanks u for opening it so I don’t have to. I totally agree with u . It’s almost like the Sephora one

[@jadeemclerran6760]

I feel like that extra lip product was an apology for what you were about to experience! lol

[@mirthroberts9035]

I love this makeup brand but not sure about this calendar. On another note, I got my box of lip glosses from you and they smell wonderful! I really like the Granny Smith apple one! I loved the extra goodies you included too!

[@SubscriptionSisters]

So happy to hear this!!!! I love the apple one too. It was my favorite in the box. And glad your gifts were good! I tried to mix everyone's up quite a bit and make them all fair too. So yay! Makes me happy that you loved it :D

[@christinalaska]

I think if they had only one side of the box they could fit everything. The box sizes are ridiculous!!! Wowsa. $29.99 value. Seriously

[@shirleysymon2160]

I get the feeling or inclination that they designed the box first then picked the products. And I feel like many of the products as they stated are not what they originally intended.

[@SubscriptionSisters]

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking!!!

[@CreeepinItReal]

Your nails look so nice!

[@SubscriptionSisters]

Thank you! I don't normally get them done, but I had an off day and just didn't feel great. So I thought eh lets go do something fun. And thats what I did. Haha She did a great job on them!

[@debbiestuckey2239]

I can’t believe there wasn’t a full size eyeshadow palette in there.

[@SubscriptionSisters]

I know! It needed one badly!

[@christinalaska]

Right?!? That’s kind of their flair isn’t it?

[@jackiefraser-easton571]

I was annoyed by the stickers, but down right angry at the mini sponge. The boxes are very deceiving. I think the products are probably worth the money, but not the packaging. I think they could do better for the price.

[@MellaYellow]

I super appreciate all of the cool tones!!!🎀 But wouldn't buy the calendar

[@nancyhetzke3885]

This calendar was so disappointing. I totally agree with you. What a waste of $60

[@CMH704]

I like some of the products you showed but I don’t think it’s worth the money. I hope their website has the items for sale individually

[@tonyahall8641]

I’m pretty sure it was bring your kid to workday when they packed those calendars. I stayed till the end just to see if you ever got a palette😊. Big letdown.

[@SubscriptionSisters]

Bahahahaa!

[@debbywear7625]

Theoretically the calendars should build up leaving best for last but I e been watching these for a few years and they don’t. As for the boxes they r trying fill the box up. No I don’t think you got 60 bucks worth. Maybe 30 or 40

[@Thetipsyworldtravelers]

Hey Sydney. Are you going to unbox the Fab Fit Fun advent calendar? I’m looking at it but wondering if it’s worth it.

[@SubscriptionSisters]

I have it ordered!

[@onevisionretirement]

Thanks for sharing. I personally think that calendar was a rip off. You have every right to be annoyed with this box

[@mbcunningham29]

That calendar was definitely not great for the price. Their makeup isn’t that expensive to begin with. They really could have put a bigger eyeshadow palette in it.

[@pirithecute3562]

Some troll in Revolution has put this calender together for sure.

[@nancyhetzke3885]

I thought that revolution was eyeshadow palette

[@ritafoster8625]

A couple of years ago I spent $66 for a glossy box advent calendar

[@fone9665]

Me, too, and a Look Fantastic one, I think 🤔 Maybe this year I'll open them 😂💖

[@eco6350]

I really enjoyed their last Advent Calendar.

[@eco6350]

I was living in the UK when this brand launched. They used to be called Makeup Revolution, and I have always been a fan. Their products are generally of good quality and always very affordable. Having said that, this box is so poorly designed! Door 2 was incredibly disappointing, not because it wasn't a good product, but because it built up an expectation and it didn't deliver.

[@gingerbullock8731]

Never have heard of this brand humm

[@SubscriptionSisters]

Its a UK brand :) I love love their concealer and use it every day. But this is the first time I have tried the advent and the other products.

[@shellbell1974]

XOXOXO

[@melissamccall1182]

I got this calendar last year...I enjoy their highlighters, but their lipsticks just aren't that good...they are sort of dry. There was a palette, but several of the pans were cracked and falling out. Not worth it for me.

[@SubscriptionSisters]

Oh interesting!! I love their concealer and actually use it all the time. Love the highlighters too. But never tried the lipsticks. So glad you gave a review on it.

[@YVRCasting]

#2 is terrible... I don't need to see the rest! :)

[@Cesbeswreathsanddecors]

Very sad when they put junk in it .

[@Toucan11]

What a rip off, sorry you wasted 60.00 on that. You deserve a lot better products. Don’t waste your money next year

[@rebecca3220]

Definitely won't be ordering this one

[@shawnashook1635]

I'm so sorry you spent $60 on this. There is a lot of pretty stuff but not worth it.

[@maureenbyrd4642]

Well, I won't be purchasing this. Even if it goes on sale.

[@margowhitlock7933]

It was not good

[@christinelinnea]

Definitely not worth $60 and it's too lip heavy.

[@hjordysgonzalez2877]

No, sorry no!

[@AZTECIANGIRL]

SORRY RIP OFF

[@cmgrad1624]

Junk!

[@AngelLybarger]

I'm sorry you got a crappy advent calendar.

[@juliecapone7]

NOT worth the money
