WOAH! I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS! $55 Pretty Little Thing Advent (25 Calendars of Christmas #4)

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Hey guys! So I have heard of Pretty Little Thing in passing but I didn’t/don’t know much about the brand which makes this calendar even more surprising! I just came across this in my calendar search and for $55 (Just $10 more than Sephora) I think this was a pretty good calendar! What did you think? Let me know! Love ya!

[@nic3525]

Pretty little thing are a uk based fast fashion brand and don't get great press over here x

[@poietes7337]

Woah! I wasn't expecting this (that is, you, wearing that gorgeous wedding band, here...on your channel...instead of the streets and pubs of Aberdeen or Inverness or Edinburgh, even). And while it's always wonderful to see you, I have to say, from the bottom of my heart, "Get off here now! Go do honeymoon stuff. Or if you're back home in Kentucky, bask in the afterglow of your nuptials, but more importantly, bask in the pseudo glow thar the chilly winds left on your cheeks and nose 🤭😚😏‼️Welcome back wishes to you both once you've touched down on US soil. Super big hugs negates I can feel your joy emanating from every fiber of your being. 🤩😚💝💋❣️💜✌️. _Please disregard most of what I said before... This is what happens when i write my comment before watching the video_ 🤐🙄😝........ .

[@kaylacrowther1005]

*pretty little thing. i love you btw!! been waiting patiently for a new video. merry christmas!! ❤️🎄

[@victoriafox8364]

If you’re still in the uk you have to try and get the Sephora advent calendar. The uk one looks amazing!

[@usagimc]

In response to your crispy dry skin issue, I would say that the Tatcha dewy moisturizer actually worked really well for me and didn't cause any breakouts. Dunno if you have tried it before, but I am totally sold on the product. My face has been moisturized all day long and skin is looking great. I used to always have flakes/ashy look to my skin as the day went on. Good luck in prep for your wedding!!! You look beautiful and amazing already.

[@ObsidianNebula00]

I imagine the reason this calendar felt like it went quickly is because you didn't have to stop and yell at every day for how cheap and bad it was lol

[@Momofdom]

Facts😂 It felt so strange to have a smooth unboxing

[@heatherrembe2854]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ghoulamvs4887]

This is probably the biggest bang for your buck advent calendar you've ever done... and most of it was stuff people would actively use while ALSO not being repetitive! Take notes sephora!

[@Thiccbao]

Fun fact: a podcast called Endless Thread did an investigation and found out that the largest consumer of glitter is the boat paint industry! I think that they wanted to keep it under wraps so as not to damage the fragile boater masculinity

[@itscjhey]

I thought it was because glitter is a microplastic, so it'd be scrutinized as a pretty obvious massive pollutant of the ocean from flaking off the hulls of boats.

[@sebeckley]

And because the glitter is made of plastic and therefore a primary and massive source of the micro-plastic found in fish, and us.

[@Thiccbao]

@@sebeckley yes much better point lol

[@KG9551]

I didn’t know that! The idea that they’d throw massive amounts of tiny plastic particles into BOATS that sail in the OCEAN is unbelievable! It’s not as if it’s necessary to make the boat safe or anything, just a massive, toxic, polluting waste.

[@calinbrown517]

Lmao you only need to look at your granddaddy's bass boat to understand glitter has been HUGE for DECADES in the boat painting industry and men are proud of it and don't give a rip about what anyone thinks! SoOoOoOoO trust me😏 they're not ashamed or embarrassed by SQUAT!!! Please don't think I'm trying to be snarky or anything because I'm not lol it's just most young people hearing that and the latest bullbutter about men's fragility 😏 so they genuinely believe that men care when they don't because glitter is FAB-U-LOUS and they love it too ❤️🤗

[@grimmgoosegoose216]

For a $55 calender, this was pretty solid! Lots of makeup for its price and it seems like they had alot of fun making it :) not a stunner by any means but an okay all rounder for sure!

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Yes! I think so too! Especially since I didn’t know much about the brand going in I was really surprised in a good way!

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

@@Alexandria-Ryan Pretty little thing actually has some pretty cute clothes. I still don't know what happened to the shirt I ordered from them though. It disappeared...I'm guessing my daughter stole it. Lol 😂

[@shannonrickard8605]

This is really nice for a $55 calender. Lots of relatively cheap but still good quality items, and pretty much every day has something you can actually use and get a "well that's neat" rather than disappointment 😄 Congrats on your wedding! I hope your big day was amazing and you're loving Scotland ❤

[@richiethev4623]

I work at a doggy daycare (it’s a hard job. Super physical, not a lot of down time to pet and love on the dogs unless it’s a slower day, or you’re with the small dogs) and I can just FEEL those nails as Wren is digging at you for the treat 😂 we have a few Bostons that come in, and I always think of you and the boys when I see them

[@itscjhey]

I used to work at a dog daycare as well and I felt this, it's hard work! 😅 The only thing worse than the claws are those super sharp puppy shark teeth, lol

[@AbstractlyMe83]

@@itscjhey thankfully we don’t have to many puppy puppys like that. We do have a golden right now who’s around 4-6 months, and she doesn’t really nibble on the hands. It’s more the small small dogs who have teeny tiny murder mittens 🤣

If the wax melt smells like bubble gum it's likely a dupe of lush's snow fairy which is their Iconic Christmas scent

[@veemiller2217]

What is this wax for?

[@CassieRawrr]

@@veemiller2217 wax melts are flameless candles basically. you tear off one of the hearts and you put it in a wax warmer that evenly melts the wax at a low temperature using electricity

[@snakewithapen5489]

@@veemiller2217 just to add on to the above commenter, when the wax melts (a lot of the ones I've seen use an incandescent light bulb) it releases an aroma like a candle. They're supposed to be better to leave on longer bc less of a threat of an unattended flame

[@xenamychan7780]

Hey;; For olaplex nr3, the best way is to use it on towel dry hair in between your shampoo and conditioner, it needs to be rinsed out! You can also use it as a hair mask before washing your hair, leaving it for 45min to 1h. It won’t leave your hair sticky and it does show results pretty much instantly!! But great vids, I love your advent calendars openings

[@ananasbanana]

What kind of results

[@Jessica-ov4dj]

It's also recommended after n0 for 10 minutes (saturate dry hair). Leaving n0 in, add n3. Wait another 10 mins. Then rinse, shampoo, and condition. Can be followed with n8.

[@CallistaRhian]

No 3 needs to be shampooed out, not just rinsed out

[@Duhfuk]

Doesn’t work for everyone as well, it actually made my hair brittle

on one hand, pretty solid. on the other hand, the palmers sample and literal dollar tree tube of carmex.. it's a mixed bag here.

[@CobaltDawn]

I don't know if this is a really good advent calendar or if we're just so jaded by Sephora and the other makeup/beauty brands that it makes this one good.

[@christiemcbaine2805]

Wow! This might be an advent calendar I purchase! Way better than all the others I’ve seen you unbox (and I think I’ve seen them all). The lashes actually look flattering instead of bushy. And the colors for the makeup are neutral but slightly edgy. *side bar: I feel as though you are a kindred spirit. I, too, drink a midnight coffee and I, too, have no problem falling asleep (so the bubble bath product is a waste for me)

[@ShirokumaRowyn]

I adore the tiny tangents and conspiracy theory moments in your videos! I had not heard of the glitter conspiracy but I know I'm gonna go down the rabbit hole now.

[@ayazenoria8781]

Congratulations on the wedding! I saw you asked about the Olaplex. Number 3 is a treatment. You leave it in for 10 minutes and rinse it out. It does get super sticky if you leave it in too long. I usually put it in my hair at the start of my shower then rinse it at the end. I hope that helps! Enjoy your special day and I hope you make many beautiful memories!

Ahh, good ol' Bondi Rescue. I think you need to watch Bondi Vet if you can find it! I might be jaded from living in suburbia by the ocean, but Bondi Beach is, just a beach? Bondi is famous, yes, but for us locals, it really just another place we avoid going unless we have to, lol.

I'm from Canada and we don't receive any of those free samples anymore. Used to be the time when we would find a tiny box of laundry soap, a little box of cereal, a tiny bottle of shampoo and conditioner hanging over our doorknob. We don't even get the little packages in our mail anymore. I absolutely loved receiving free samples in the mail it was so exciting. Do I ever miss that.

Great video! Regarding the coconut oil, I have 2 jars I got at the organic section of my supermarket. It’s 100% pure, no additives. One of them is in the kitchen, I use for baking. The other one it’s in the bathroom, I use it post bikini wax, due to its antibacterial, anti fungal, and calming properties. I’ve been using for 2 years, never had a problem!

[@jenhulslander9084]

I just recently found your channel and I've been catching up on multiple years worth of advent calendar unboxings. Every time you talk about the last day being the best (which it should be) it just makes me wonder, am I the only one that was taught to count down, not up with advent calendars? My mom always said it was a "count down to christmas" so we'd start by opening the "last day", and work our way down the numbers towards day one. Is that just me? It just seems like a lot of the day one items are better or potentially the best, so I wonder if this is what the calendar makers are assuming people do? Idk. Just my thoughts. Anyone else have an opinion on this? Lol.

I believe the difference in eating coconut oil and non-eating kinds is how they process it. Food grade versus non-food grade equipment and safety measures. Also I hope your wedding was amazing and congratulations! Glitter has a whole host of issues from child labor for mica based glitter to the plastic types ending up in the oceans. The world running out of glitter is highly unlikely to be one of the issues. Now increased prices due to demand, I would bet on that.
