I bought all of the most VIRAL makeup advent calendars this year and SPOILER ALERT... they're a MASSIVE SCAM. Watch as I unbox MAC, NYX, ELF, and Saks Fifth Ave and see for yourself...

  • For brands like M.A.C that aren’t as popular as they used to be, idk why they don’t just make an advent calendar filled with ONLY their most popular products so like Whirl, Cork, and Teddy for the lip liners….those are the most popular ones, and then the matching lip sticks and maybe a Prep&Prime setting spray. As for e.l.f, they should’ve put in their most popular products from this year so like their lip oils, and blush and contour wands.

    • If people keep on buying them like that , they're going to keep on selling them like that. And people are going to keep on buying them because of the "I have to buy this person a present. I've no real idea what to get them that they'd want but I know they wear makeup and this presentation box looks impressive. That's one job ticked off a long list".

  • I have the M.A.C advent calendar this year. And love the full size products, but find my self hoping that it is not gonna be another lipstick since I don’t use them often enough. What would be absolutely amazing with M.A.C or other brands with a store, gave you the a wishlist of products you could choose from maybe 50 different products including foundations and other “skin tone” products. And you would have to wish for 35 diffent produkts so the element of surprice is stille there. A employee from the store can then put your advent calender togethers for you in a advent calender box. 😍
