@@Balletified they say $105 value… that’s $4+/day.

[@omaimaf9963]

@@Balletified in actuality it’s leftover stock and samples that’s not expected to generate profit so it doesn’t cost them anything (except for the boxes) so it’s almost a 100% profit for sephora, that’s why the expected value for these advent calendars is more than it’s cost.

[@dixierae3442]

For OG viewers it's so funny to remember when she opened the first Sephora calendar she was rather cautious with what she said and is every year has passed he has completely tossed out any idea of cutting them a break and I couldn't be happier to see that because they haven't done anything to cut their customers one. Year after year not only filling it full of garbage but the same garbage it's shocking to the mind. We don't have Sephora in Canada but this would be easily enough to make me never set foot in their store again. All by my makeup at London Drugs their return policy is amazing and they have a great selection.

In Australia, they're selling a "gift set" containing 13 of just the shower cream capsules (7.9ml). It's retailing for $24 AUD, meaning each pod is $1.85 AUD. A 260mL bottle of the equivalent shower gel (they don't have the cream in full size but scents are the same) is $15 AUD, if you break it down to the size of the pods, it's 45 CENTS PER 7.9ML. They're literally charging you 4 times more because it's Christmas, not to mention the wasteful packaging. WTH SEPHORA?!

The best advent calendar I had was a 14-15 € one from like a small store, I still use some of the stuff to this day, the brow gel we got in there worked amazing as a clear mascara & the packaging alone was worth it (every single item was in a small box that could be pulled out, amazing since we could use the boxes afterwards for storage)

Nah Sephora isn’t that thoughtful, would be nice though!

Maybe they couldn't fit "No Place like Home for the Holidays" on the label & it didn't occur to them that the shorter version was going to remind people of the Wizard of Oz. Or maybe they don't actually care.

And genuinely, your advent videos were so soothing and brought me a little bit of Christmas joy everyday, they really helped keep me going for that rough anxious period :)

[@medicatedmastermind1879]

I actually like both shades of Lippies, but, that's only $30 worth of value to me. Everything else was literally garbage.

[@mildredflemyng-middleton4795]

I love the good (and exasperated) humor you have with these calendars, and the effort you put into finding clips from previous years of the same product to include. For that 'no place like home shade', Dorothy's shoes were silver in the book....but I can't in good conscious attribute that level of thought to Sephora, so really I don't know what they were thinking. On the tape, there is maekeup tape made to use when doing a smokey eye to give you a really sharp edge...it's still shite. I do think those two shiny silvery eyeshadows may have sliiiiightly different undertones. maybe.

(I don't know if anyone else has commented this already and if so- I apologize for the repeat!) In regard to the name of that 1st single pan eyeshadow in silver: in the original book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's Slippers were silver. They changed them to ruby slippers for the movie. So maybe that's why it's named that? I mean who knows why Sephora does anything that they do but that would be my best guess. 😁
