Now, should we trust an advent calendar that called bad colour for $30? This might actually be the cheapest one we review this year because I've seen some of the prices that have dropped on some of these advent calendars. Holy shit. The prices have gone up, the quality, the sizes have gone down. We'll say for $30, the size of these boxes are pretty substantial. Follow me. This is number one. Keep in mind, this box literally says makeup, advent calendar. If it's not exclusive makeup products, I'm gonna be mad. We are already starting off strong. And eyeshadow palette, like, the color palette is very wearable, very versatile. Doing the math correctly, $30 are actually 2999 for 24 windows. That means each window or box is $1 and 25 cents. See? $1.25 makeup. But it does not feel or look like a dollar 25 makeup. Cause do you see this eyeshadow today? Are these shimmers shimmering? Okay, what about. What about this one right here? Those are beautiful. Maybe I should go in with this guy. That is exceptional. $1.25, y'all. For brands that do advent calendars, you need to start off with No. 1 strong, because then it really will set the tone for the rest of the box. May not be that deep, but I really do believe first impressions make such a difference when it comes to advent calendar. There's a matte powder, and then you have a shimmer powder. Put this to the side. That's a smart thing to do when you start off this strong. At a $30 dollar advent calendar. Honestly, I think it's game over for everyone else. Like, honestly, what is the point. What is this? Pressed powder. A real woman here, you guys. A pressed powder. This means that brands can actually do it. Brands can actually put in quality makeup products in their oven counter. They just choose not to. By the way, these are all true size, true to scale makeup products. Okay, let's do number four. Nothing here is miniature pincher sizes. Okay, hopefully I don't say that too soon. Okay. Sometimes these things have a way of acting up. Actually included a highlighter crayon. I have not used a highlighter crayon in so long. I forgot what they look like. Okay, this chubby little monster. Okay, let's see. Okay, she's very subtle, but she's there. You see that? You'll see that. So far we've opened up four windows, and they're all makeup products and they're all wearable stuff. Get into number five. This is interesting. This is their lip gloss. Will I like this? Oh my gosh. That's for your lips. That's for your lips. Thank god it doesn't have a weird funky chemical smell. I'm not a huge pink lip kinda gal, but this color is absolutely insane. I have a suspicion No. 6 is some sort of pencil. With these long boxes is either a pencil. Sometimes they put pencil sharpeners. I swear these more affordable liners are actually more pigmented and work better than the higher end one. Might be September, but brands are dropping advent counters, I swear, at the end of August. Now, only thing I'm gonna say to brands is if you drop it early and it's not good, that's kinda shooting yourself in the foot. And another eyeshadow, I'm just not gonna know what to do with. I thought it was another eyeshadow palette, but this is actually a brow. A brow powder. Well, not that the shades would even work from my brows, cause I have really intense dark brows, but this to get a brow powder, that is some consideration. I actually like to go over with a brown powder sometimes just to lighten my brows because it is so intense. Do you guys see the difference? It's such a great hack for lightening your brows without lightening your brows. You know, contrary to lovelies, I have gotten base complexion last year. I wonder if this one is also gonna give me that. I don't know. So why I don't know what to do with my face. You suspicion that they'll include a face primer, but I can't be certain. What is this? Not gonna use this? Cause I have a thousand brushes already. Way I like to review advent calendars, I don't actually know what's on the inside. I try not to look at anything. I wanna be just as surprised and just as shocked as you guys? What is the point if I already know what's inside? Right? Okay, this is a. This is a sponge that I could actually use. Now. This is my third year opening advent calendars. Getting one of these just means one thing, one thing only. You're gonna get some sort of base complexion soon. Not always, but usually with these cheaper ones, these $30 ones, you're gonna get something. This one. The bigger boxes in here, those kind of empty. What in the hell is that? I don't care for this. I think these are nail stickers or nail decals. Why do they look. Wait, what are they? I think these are Santa's hats. And it comes with a nail file. I just truly don't care for these. I don't. Moving it to No. 11. It is way too early to go downhill from now. Okay? It is way too early. We're manifesting great prize from here on out. I should not have done my brows today because this is the brow pencil. I don't really care for this type of shape. But it's still really nice to get one of these. Especially if you don't have a brow pen. And then the other end is a spoolie. Okay, this is so. This is considerate for a thirty dollar advent calendar. No. 12. This is a pretty big boy too. Not touch my face until we get some sort of base. Whether that's a primer or foundation or concealer. I don't even care what the remaining boxes are. The fact that they gave us a contour. I thought this was a highlighter again. It's a very cool tone. It's a very fair contour shade. Like, I'm gonna have to rub that into my tan skin today. Your fair skin? This would pop off one thing and one thing only. There has to be a base complexion in here somewhere. Like for part two.
