I received this as a gift from my mom who was so excited to give me an advent calendar from sephora “because they sell makeup!” While she could’ve looked further to see the products that come with this - which is clearly advertised - i’m sure she would’ve considered this a waste of money as much as I did. Majority of this advent calendar looks like someone shopped through the travel section at target. The skincare products are the equivalent of a free sample size you’d receive with a regular purchase from a makeup store. The package was also made really poorly. About 5 days worth of items appeared to be missing before I realized they fell out of their box and to the bottom. I had to rip apart the box just to find some because they’d wedged between pieces of cardboard. Sure it’s “only” $50, but I think everyone can agree that $50 is a lot of money in this economy right now. I wouldn’t really recommend buying this for anyone unless they specifically ask for it. Minus the few makeup items, you may as well go to a dollar general and buy the same items.

Each year I purchase an Advent Calendar. This years was the best one so far. Every item is something that I will use. The nail polishes are full size, I have already used them. I like the top coat too. The face masks are great, those alone would be the price of the whole calendar . The tweezers are very good quality and I was surprised to get such a great item. The under eye de-puffer is amazing I’m happy I received it. The silver hair scrunchy is super cute and the lip gloss is a nice soft shade of red. I love this calendar this year!!! Thank you Sephora you never disappoint. too.

I received this as a gift from my parents and I really enjoyed this calendar. on the first day I got the mascara which i have been wanting for so long, it is so good, there are a variety of face masks and nail stuff which i was really happy with and there was some skincare and body care stuff. I would say the nly things I did not like would be the hair scrunci, eye roller and lip marker. The tweezers did fall through so I had to look hard for those. I have already used the nail polish multiple times and they are really good. I am really bad at painting my nails and find that it just gets all over and looks streaky but this stuff looks really nice on my nails. I wish sephora sold nail polish still.

I got this advent calendar for my daughter who’s away at college, and she absolutely loved it! She had so much fun opening each day and even brought it home to finish the countdown during break. Some of her favorites were the nail polish, hair clips, and brown eyeliner—things she actually uses and likes.

I was hesitant to order after seeing some negative reviews, but I’m so glad I went for it. The product arrived perfectly intact, wrapped nicely in a big Sephora bag, and packed securely in a shipping box. It made a great gift and added a little extra excitement to the holiday season!
