THE BEST HARVEY NICHOLS BEAUTY ADVENT CALENDAR YET? UNBOXING & REVIEW 2024💗 MISS BOUX

[@MissBoux]

Sorry! There's less chance of getting a voucher this year - thanks to those who pointed it out! I've had a super busy few weeks and was v tired when filming this so my maths failed me - I mean I even forgot to put on mascara 😂😂

[@Jan-lo7kl]

Thank you for sharing. I heard that some companies that have their products in advent calendars or subscription boxes put ‘not for resale’ on their products because a large number of people were returning them when they shouldn’t have, so this would eliminate this problem.

[@MsLoma1212]

Oh, this makes perfect sense! Thank you for sharing

[@ruthiea729]

Yep this is a common thing with gift sets too as they had a lot of ££ paid out to people taking stuff back without a receipt - in the days when you used to be able to 😂- so all stores do this as much as they can now

[@TerriT250]

I think too many of these expensive advent calendars are pushing up the value of the boxes by putting extremely expensive products in but only giving us 5 or 10ml samples which if it's skin care, we won't see the benefit at all. So we're actually getting for example a £40 sample which is of no use thereby making it sound like we're getting a bargain in a £1,000 plus value box. The 5ml or 10ml perfume samples are ok but how many of us would actually go and buy the £400 full size bottle, even if we enjoyed the sample. The full size products that are in the boxes generally do the rounds in monthly subscription boxes. I'd rather have a Christmas box of 8 to 10 full size products of luxury I could never afford and at least get the benefit, especially when it comes to skin cares costing £100 and up, rather than a 24/25 day advent calendar with so many useless teaspoon fills of products. Thanks for sharing though Karen. X

[@Tempestaires]

But I don't understand, you need a receipt for the product to be able to return it to a store. Is it different in the US? Because here in Europe, if you take a full size product from a box or calendar and try to bring it back to a store, no one will accept it, and there's no point in throwing a tantrum, no receipt, no return, that's the policy.

[@Jan-lo7kl]

@ I’m from 🇨🇦 & someone might say it was gifted to them & they don’t have a receipt. Also some companies do sell travel sizes which would be more likely to be the ones marked ‘not for resale’ in the calendar or subscription box.

[@lizlupeliz8296]

I wish we could get this in the USA, thanks great video!

[@robbbranche]

I really like how the calendar looks and its sturdy build! The edit team has done an interesting content mix on this one, there's a very wide price range covered, I like it!! Thank you Karen, we appreciate your efforts! 💖

[@helenheggadon6324]

I feel like I love all the advents. . How much does it cost to get the main big ones? Must be a few grand in total. But what a fabulous collection to try throughout the year.

[@ra.j7210]

It’s a very popular niche brand and erba pura is their best seller it’s pronounced like xerjoff (zer-joff)

[@whitneyellison]

I’d want that box for the fragrances alone.

[@Lunarangst]

Hard same

[@christinalaska]

Karen you do such a fabulous job of explaining all the products all the time ❤❤ TFS

[@Gloomy_Goober]

For the voucher chances- 1 in 100 is half the chance of 1 in 50. So last year you had a 2% chance and this year you have a 1% chance.

[@Mojito369]

I think last year’s was miles better!

[@AbbyShue]

I thought you weren't going to buy it. Just in time before zzz time. Thanks for the unboxing. 👍❤

[@shiny_olenka]

Wow erba pura is very popular in perfume world, it's so great to see it here!!

[@seashell831]

I've noticed through your videos that perfumes are very hit & miss for you so im super intrigued to know what you wear/what are your faves x😊

[@MissBoux]

I'll share an updated fragrance video soon 🥰

[@Alena-v2x]

I like this one a lot! generally I like a lot of fragrance mini, it gives you options and you can use up before the smell changed over the time

[@Tempestaires]

You're reminding me that I haven't seen my Fenty lip stain in a while, I need to look for it, I really enjoy it 😊 For the calendar, I guess they finished with the fragrance because it's written "happy holidays" on it? But like you, many people might not like the scent and be a bit sad to finish on that note.

[@LeastQualifiedInHistory]

Molecule 1 is my favourite perfume. People have stopped me in the streets and asked me what perfume I'm wearing. It smells fresh and not overpowering.

[@hummus6150]

1 in 50 is the same as 2 in 100. So you stand half as much chance of winning a voucher as last year, though if you do actually win the voucher is worth more.

[@izzydavidson8323]

Great video. And I love your makeup. If I understand correctly 1 in 100 is this years voucher chance? If last years was 1 in 50 that was a 2% chance to win the 2023 £100 voucher… this year being £250 1 in 100 (if I heard right) is a 1% chance of finding said voucher. Which is less likely?! 🤷🏻‍♀️ but cool they made the value much higher. Thanks for another fab calendar review

[@shortcake66]

Yes, I just replayed that to make sure I’d heard right. But if it’s a higher value it makes sense that there are fewer.

[@angeladenys2155]

Hi 👋🏼, loving watching all your unboxings. In this video you mention at the end that other calendars are your favourite. Could you share which are your faves so far??? I'm still on the fence. Thank you x

[@nanaa_rrr]

Merci pour le déballage. 🙏🏼😍Une période chargée et fatigante pour vous . Calendrier parmi les bons cette année , j’adore les parfums. Mais impossible de l’avoir en France 😞 J’ai essayé d’avoir celui de Harrod parfums je le veux de tout mon cœur , je l’es acheté 2 fois chez une plate forme de revente le prix fort. Et à chaque fois la vente est annulée quand elle arrive au centre d’envoi international, je suis vraiment 😢😢😢 Merci pour cette vidéo 😘😘

[@Sabrinajaine]

Too much perfume for me which is a shame as I really wanted the Augustinus Bader Rich Cream again in my calendar, because I really like it but no way am I spending £74 on it 😂

[@aldonshulland52]

Thank you for the review I still qanr this advent calendar but waiting for discount

[@lucyelamihatravels]

Woke up to the best notification from our Advent Calnedar Queen❤️thank you❤❤❤🎉🎉

[@stace8614]

Genuinely didn't even notice that you didn't have mascara on! 😄Another pretty nice calendar. I think there might be some better ones out there, but I'm glad they've taken the vouchers out of it. It brings the overall value down of course, but if you didn't live near a Harvey Nics (or weren't inclined to visit) the value's lost anyways, soooo..... Those Jo Loves Christmas candles are STUNNING! I've had a few of them in advents from previous years and they're all totally beautiful. The cold and hot throw from even just the tiny votive - it fills our whole house with the most glorious scent! I've treated myself to a full size Christmas Trees scent this year. Couldn't resist!

[@heatherleutscherwarren9459]

😊a lovely calendar- thank you for sharing!

[@SamPops-r5o]

Great calendar ❤❤ you definitely have a vanilla based perfume preference 😂😂 I'm glad they've added a couple you can use. Think the extra 'value' in previous years were down to the treatments that would have been the petrol nowadays 😂😂 xx

[@tanyajohnson7714]

Top 5 for me last year but unfortunately I missed out! Hopefully this year 👍

[@alikc25]

Awesome calendar.

[@fionacheek3020]

It's a nice one

[@marissamacphee4645]

Nice calendar but to fragrance heavy for me, I am so so fussy when it comes to fragrance x

[@deeluther3108]

Lovely Video As Always Good thumbnail tho You Looking Hella Beautiful Makeup Always Look Good Those Breathtaking Eyes Love Em Enjoy the rest of your Good Week Happy Fabulous Weekend Ahead Stay Bless N Be safe Always

[@Katherine.11.11]

Great video ❤

[@tingeling5663]

It’s so strange how people can hate a smell so much, and others love it just as much😊Both me and my hubby LOVE the Eve Lom cleanser😅. He can’t stop smelling my face every time I use it. He says it smells like gingerbread cookie dough😅

[@marionreinders9362]

You will probably like the lelabo Thé Noir, nr. 29. Santalmis the most popular. I don’t like it either.

[@plainjane382]

Really like the look of this calendar and would definitely have bought it if I had the budget 😢

[@brittaleimkuhler7664]

The front design looks like the death star from Star Wars. 😂

[@aldi00024]

This is exactly what I thought 😂

[@lucyelamihatravels]

Which one would you choose between John Lewis and Harvey N? I tried to decide between these two as the John Lewis is back in stock❤I need some help😂I love them both❤

[@alixfree]

John Lewis 100%%%%% ❤

[@ZGreenGaming]

AB cream is in everything…. even in a can of tuna 😂

[@reemfarhat3909]

In love 🩷🩷🩷🩷❤️❤️❤️

[@clairegoldsworthy5085]

Isn’t there less chance of getting a voucher this year if one in 50 got one last year and only 1 in 100 will this year??

[@rachelrobinson5804]

The blush brush is about £10

[@roxannerobinson9173]

I bought the fenty perfume without trying it first, opened it a cpl wks ago and wasn't a fan ☹️ x

[@alicalavera]

After you said you don’t like orb of night perfume I’m not sure if I should believe you that a perfume smells nice 😂😂😂 jk. Perfumes are very personal but I always laugh cause you have never liked any of the perfumes I love 😂❤

[@zz4753]

Where do you store all these advent calendars lol

[@aggiaggi8306]

house extension lol

[@EmmaRiley-z4f]

Fab unboxing as always 💕 but this calendar isn’t for me. Dissapointed compared to previous years xxx

[@Truth1561]

That really expensive skincare really isn't worth the silly prices. I think brands like the ordinary and Beuuty pie hsve blown the lid off all of this and if you read Sali Hughe's column shr ecplauns hiw these brands are all owned by a few umbrella companies with the 'innovation' quickly cascading down to the cheaper ranges. The thing that most improves skin is retinaldehyde and sunscreen. vit c is a close follow up ( I usedvto work with a dermatologist). I don't understand the irritation over 'gift with purchase' items. You rarely get any of those without purchase.

[@purpleivy9174]

I’m sorry but I will never understand brown blush. I just don’t get it.

[@mrsllamahead]

Way too many fragrances for me but great review as always, thanks

[@rebeccarichardson6761]

Bit fragrance heavy for my liking

[@sharrongray1837]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@ginag2176]

Not the best box tbh! I wouldn't be very happy with this box, thanks for sharing xx

[@laurenmariemarie4923]

Wayyyy to much scents so risky with all the perfumes I know my favourite scents I try them all in store or on those little paper testers so we don’t need them in beauty advent calendars such a shame had hopes for this one since I missed out on the Cikt beauty one I usually get every year. That came out way to early while I was on Holliday in Lanzarote gutted I havnt managed to get one this year I like, since seen a lot of Cult beauty ones on EBay for £100s more I would never involve myself to profiteering when us mear mortals save for ourselfs to buy a calendar in the first place. Christmas is pricey when you have one but your sister has 5 kids lol.. keep checking your videos in hopes one comes out later on in the year, the best advent calendar opener on KZbin look forward to you this time every year. :)

[@michelles2299]

Zer joff

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

Seems fragrance heavy.

[@calvinliu6304]

1st

[@soniamartin3753]

Not for me. I'm too picky with fragrances and I rather buy my own so a lot of this calendar would go to waste. I can see the value and it's a good calendar. Not for me tho.

[@kristylou3348]

Too many fragrances for me

[@elainecoley-evans6393]

Heavy on the scent. Not much makeup that impressed. Thank you for the video

[@Bubble_squeeky]

You are pretty without all that heavy makeup. Please do a vid with more natural look 😊

[@kmdfs4433]

She can wear however much makeup she wants. She’s not wearing it for you.

[@Bubble_squeeky]

@ wind your neck in

[@Bubble_squeeky]

@ I am paying her a compliment. Some people don’t need lots of make up. You dont need to be jealous if you weren’t blessed with good skin

[@kmdfs4433]

@ 😂 jealousy is nothing to do with this. I don’t like it when people comment on a woman’s choice to wear makeup or not. Simple.

[@Bubble_squeeky]

@@kmdfs4433 im not telling her off, im simply suggesting that i would like to see a video of a natural look. Its called an opinion, you are allowed yours im allowed mine. I realise it was Halloween yesterday so no doubt you had a bit of everything on your face
