Hey guys! I actually need your help on this one! I can not for the life of me figure out what the value of this calendar is supposed to be🤣 It appears to be better than I originally thought which is great! Unfortunately it seems that we are missing a little bit of the promised product. But let me what you guys think and if you can figure out what the value is!! Love ya💖
But when you add up the value of the actual products it’s well over $90+ which is great but I am wracking my brain trying to figure out the 20% value they advertised! Like how did they come to that number??😂
I have been waiting my whole life for Alex to start measuring out what companies stay they are providing in their squeezy tubes. Especially when she says 'this feels empty'. Yes! Here comes the start to calling out companies even more for not providing what they say! I am 👏 LIVING👏 for this!
I actually think the spatula as the final day makes sense for this calendar because some of those products were so small that after using them for a few days you'll need the spatula to scrape the rest out.
It should have come with a hammer and a set of pliers, too, since they're not designed to be opened like that. Its a massive design flaw, scraping out the leftovers would have been a perfect use for the spatula.
The puppies on the heating blanket has me smiling. I have a husky mix and she doesn't believe she's a snow dog. She cuddles on those heating blankets like she's never been warm in her life.
Alexandria, I love the calendars. These videos are getting me through chemo! Please consider doing a big video where you open a couple in one video. Love after advent season, it's the best thing on TH-cam. 😊Thank you!
I love glow recipe. It's expensive, and there's so much to try, so for me, this calendar has value. The tiny bottles are called glow babies, and they sell them in build-your-own kits and a full set of all the babies. It's their first year doing a calendar! Apparently it sold out so fast that there's a waiting list for another run of them...they're sending them out in March 😂
I really want Alex to get those Sterilite containers and organize what she’s gotten from subscriptions+ advents so we can truly know how many of these products are serial subscription products 😭😭
@@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780 hey let's cool it a little bit. This is a media channel, she didn't text Alexandria directly. It was clearly a light hearted statement, no need for the snark.
I'm down for reviewing advent calendars throughout whole year! I cannot emphasise enough how much I enjoy your videos. You're so enthusiastic and entertaining - my favourite time of the day! Yay! 😉 Love from Croatia💙
I love Glow Recipe. Dont necessarily know if some of their products actually do anything (like the vitamic C brightening serum or avocado retinol mask) but the scent of the watermelon products are nice & the moisturizers/serums feel nice (if not slightly sticky) on the skin. They do keep upping their prices, which I can understand on one hand but on the other, we dont get a lot of product for the money (imo) so for ME, it is a luxury brand that I only get if I have the extra money. If I actually saw improvement in my skin, Id def justify buying their products more. The toner is my favorite, for sure. Edit: incredibly disappointing that you dont even get to use all the product in those tiny spray tubes, assuming they arent lying about how much is in each tube. For a company that took away the plastic spoons in the clay mask boxes, that are actually useful for spreading product without using your hands, they sure use a lot of plastic packaging, that you have to basically destroy if you want to open & use every bit of product...this wasnt as good as it's made out to be, I think...
Seriously?! Taking away applicators and then using a c-ton of plastic for 5ml samples. 🤦 Greenwashing who and virtuesignalling much, eh? I didn't have an opinion on GR before this video but this one thing made me put them on my naughty list for sure.
Thank you for bringing up the comparison of their fancy package to the value of the product! In the end, we can only use the product one or two times and then have to throw away the fancy packaging. I would rather have more product & less fancy packaging!
Don't feel bad lol I have masters degrees in biochemistry and biochemical engineering, very sciency and maths based degrees.......im mathematically dyslexic (dyscalculia) 😂 somehow I managed to pass with flying colours at the top of my classes and I still don't know my times table and I HATE numbers
You should do one giant video of various advent calendars, if you have filming, editing time for that. 😂 I would definitely sit down and watch an hour long + video of you unboxing a bunch of calendars. Otherwise I'll continue watching them until you're done with them lol. I love your videos, and never miss one. 😊
I think I prefer them spread out. Though I'm sure Alex now has a giant pile of subscription boxes waiting for a big opening party vid soon. I love to see those lol
The size of that spoon and the hole so you can wear it takes me back to my youth. When coke spoons were like that. Just the spoons were quite a bit smaller back then.
Growing up (which was the only time I ever had advent calendars) we always did them as a countdown to Christmas. (Inverse numerical order.) Not that it mattered much because every day was the same piece of chocolate, lol!
There is a math learning disability called Dyscalculia. I have it and couldn't have been more relieved to finally have an explanation for my inability to do math. This is something I struggled with my entire life... I even had a tutor in first grade, to no avail.
I was coming to mention dyscalculia. It’s definitely a possibility, especially as she has ADHD, cause if you have one form of neurodivergence, you’re likely to have more (I say this as an AuDHD’er with dyspraxia, it’s like Pokémon, gotta catch ‘em all 😂) I’m glad you got it figured out, it really is such a relief!
Finding out in college why I couldn't do the math but knew all the formulas was a relief. My 6th attempt at basic algebra went so much better. I almost dropped out of college because I couldn't graduate without a math credit.
Reading your comment may have changed my life. I may have struggled with this my entire life and had no idea… I’ve always known it wasn’t that I was stupid, I’m always above average with Reading and writing? But math? Forget it.
I think you were very gracious over the hair clips and spatula! I would've been hopping mad 😅 I love your videos because it's like a giant girl party with thousands of your besties! 🎉
I love that you just called out a company on shorting their customers on product, i never thought about doing that kind of amount check before. Thank you for shining a light on this subject
Love that you went through and validated (read: disproved) the amount of product in the package. Very enlightening and confirming something we had a hunch about anyway!
Growing up we always used them as a count down (I still do it this way honestly). It was not until I was well into adulthood that I learned you count up.
Everything I've tried has been meh, and I prefer my ordinary & inkey list versions more. Love the fun scents & cute jars but not getting the obsession. Am enjoying lots of harmless knockoff watermelon humectant jelly products tho, lol, but I prefer my actual actives to be unscented and to minimize irritation.
I love some of their products but some I’m not a fan of, but they are overpriced for sure. I didn’t like their watermelon sleeping mask but I fcking couldn’t get enough of the avocado melt retinol sleeping mask. It’s just great if you have dry skin. It’s strong but I never woke up dry and crusty in the am. I also really like the dew drops. But I’m 100% enjoying the dewy feel & plumping look, bc I would never spend that kind of money for just niaminicide. Like evry k beauty serum or essmce I buy has niaminicide in it. But even though I enjoy especially the avocado melt, I can’t justify $60 when I’m already buying tretinoin. (Tho I did buy like 4-5 jars bc I had some discounts.) I think GR’a has some really solid products and they have products that work better for some skin types and some that work better for others. Like for me and my dry skin avocado melt is amazing but if you’ve got oily skin you may hate it. Just like I don’t love the newish BHA serum primer stuff. But except for the avocado melt I can get similar results and effect from other products. Like I get that dewy plump look but with added human stem cell extract for $26 from a J beauty brand. I really wish I could find a dupe for the avocado melt bc I love using it on the nights I’m taking a break from tree. If it was even $40 it would be holy grail.
I double loved the banana soufflé cream this line had first. When they discontinued it I decided ok I’ll try the plum plump. I have combo skin that goes more oily and it was a nightmare. It sat on top of my skin and looked like an oil slick. Other people swear by it. Just like any other product, different skin types get different results. But it’s made me hesitant to try anything else from them.
OMG!! Pls do get this advent calendar it’s literally soooooo worth it, cause I did the math and the value is around $146 and the advent calendar only coast $75 so your making up to $71 profit and with that money you can buy another glow recipe Callander. This advent calendar is so worth it. the value/profit is crazyyyyy! Hope this comment helps .❤❤
I love that you actually took it out to see how much you get. It really puts it in perspective. If you wanted to do this going forward getting a scale could help. Could gestimate package weight and product. Either way I enjoyed seeing it :)
Wooo finally early to a new video! I would watch a 10 hour live stream of you unboxing whatever and just chatting about life honestly. You and this channel are such a gem!
If the containers lids come off and they could be refilled, they would make a good travel size to toss in an overnight bad or something. That could be some hidden value if you then go back and buy the full size. You can refill it from that I use the watermelon skin care stuff. I am in love with the face mist and how it smells. I use it all the time
I just saw a Valentine's "Advent" calendar a couple of days ago...I think it was in Temu & it immediately brought to mind the Advent unboxing vids you make. ❤
Hi sweet girl, the boys look so snug! I’m sorry but I think what you got is not worth much! I’m lousy at math too so I can’t help you there! I’m very proud of you for how educated you are because I know that took a lot of hard work & dedication!! Stay safe! Love & hugs!❤️🐾🐾
I always keep Christmas decorations and our little tree until my Birthday in February, so I'm more than grateful for advent calendar unboxings to keep up the festive spirit!
the body cream is so good though. i received a sample in an ipsy box and it is probably one of my favorite lotions. a little goes a long way and it does hydrate very well. I'm a nurse and my hands are so dry from washing them all the time and this body cream brings them back to life lol
Investigative journalism, I love how far we have watched the channel change in the years we have been fans! Your videos are my fave that pop up! I’m an fan forever
Who counts DOWN on an advent calendar? They're supposed to match up to the day of the month, which means counting UP - at least for 24/25 day ones, 12 day ones is different because that would be from Dec 26th thru Jan 6th which is the traditional '12 days of Christmas' (Jan 6th is Epiphany, the day the 3 wise men were said to have arrived at the manger with their gifts)
I’ve grown to love Glow Recipe, but they’re NOT a brand that usually offers any real discounts or sales. They’re a bit pricey. My finicky skin really likes their products, so I just buck up & pay the $$$, but I’m not surprised this calendar was just so-so, value-wise. I’m on my 2nd rebuy of the avocado serum & plum moisturizer, and I love both! I’ve got dry, sensitive skin, that’s prone to redness, and both work really well for me.
Honestly if you have that many serums putting the 5ml guys the calendar makes sense but just put like 3 in a day and make it a “try out our serums kit” - you can figure out which one works best for you it’s a good deal.
I was really curious about this one. I have a full size of the Plum Plump and it cleared up my forehead texture. It actually is refillable so you just buy the plastic pots and don't need to rebuy the glass container. They literally pop in the pot and peel the lid off. Also I don't want to press about medical things but have you had a blood panel done (ANA specifically). I just thought I'd mention it because it was overlooked and I was basically gaslit by doctors for ages. I have Lupus and it didn't go over my nose like a butterfly like you were saying and I had a massive flare at 19. I was a little worried because your dogs having medical issues would literally throw me into a flare. (I'm in a full remission now 10+ years after a dx.). I noticed someone else with Lupus also caught that in your comments too.
I have to say, the spray does seem to have made your skin look really glowy. I love the plum plump stuff, myself. I'm cheap though and buy the refills and just refill a little jar.
I enjoy seeing all of these products that come in the advent calendars, but girl, I’m here for your reaction. You have me laughing so hard. Thank you for that 😂🥰 Great video as always!
Love post-advent Advent Season on your channel! I think if you like Glow Recipe products this is a great way to try some more of the range and add to / build your skincare regime, so that offers good value - apart from the hair clips! For me, I prefer the mix of brands and products with a bit more monetary value
I adore Advent calendar season, we could do this all year long. I will say that for a 12 day calendar to get hair clips is a little disappointing. and getting the spatula is also disappointing. And getting it on day number 12 is definitely topsy-turvy.
Maybe you are supposed to count down to 1. Old advent calendars when we were kids were a count-down to Christmas. LIke day 5 meant 5 days left until Christmas.
HEY GIRL!!! Been binging you for awhile now but just getting to commenting 😊 hometown was HUNTINGTON, WV so I’ve been LOVING your videos & seeing you thrive!!! Makes me so happy & such great content 🩵🩵🩵
I really like the idea that their calculated value excludes the trial sizes and merch. It's like those are a gift, on top of the 20% off the larger products.
BESIDES the fact that I had actually expected something to do with COOKING, ("Recipe" is in the name😂) and was subsequently disappointed, this was fun to watch (as always)!!!❤ I love that you showed just how SMALL the amount of product was in those containers!!! Love you, Alexandria!!!
Hey guys! I actually need your help on this one! I can not for the life of me figure out what the value of this calendar is supposed to be🤣 It appears to be better than I originally thought which is great! Unfortunately it seems that we are missing a little bit of the promised product. But let me what you guys think and if you can figure out what the value is!! Love ya💖
Now I'm confused because it kind of sounds like it's 20 % off the MSRP of the items, which is kind of a bonkers way to do an advent calendar?
@@thekawaiislartibartfast42yeah I thought the same... Hmm very odd.
0.8x=75
X=93.75
But when you add up the value of the actual products it’s well over $90+ which is great but I am wracking my brain trying to figure out the 20% value they advertised! Like how did they come to that number??😂
@@Alexandria-Ryan yeah, exactly! It's so weird!
I have been waiting my whole life for Alex to start measuring out what companies stay they are providing in their squeezy tubes. Especially when she says 'this feels empty'. Yes! Here comes the start to calling out companies even more for not providing what they say! I am 👏 LIVING👏 for this!
Same! My mind is blown that some of the measurements were so far off!
Absolutely!! This was the best moment.
I told my husband we won’t take the Christmas tree down until advent calendar season finishes
That means it'll be up till March 😂
Oh goodness! That might be a while😂
New excuse for me, was going to do that today. You saved my day! Thank You ❤
I'm on board with this. Mine is still up.
I too still have my tree up 😂😂😂 I will stick by you on this!
I actually think the spatula as the final day makes sense for this calendar because some of those products were so small that after using them for a few days you'll need the spatula to scrape the rest out.
It should have come with a hammer and a set of pliers, too, since they're not designed to be opened like that. Its a massive design flaw, scraping out the leftovers would have been a perfect use for the spatula.
Bring on the advent calendars! I don't mind watching them until Spring has sprung!
Same! :D
I could watch them year round! 😅 TBH I’ll take any Alex videos!
The puppies on the heating blanket has me smiling. I have a husky mix and she doesn't believe she's a snow dog. She cuddles on those heating blankets like she's never been warm in her life.
advent calendars till march!? you’re spoiling us 😍
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I would be more than happy watching Advent Season all year long
Year-round advent calendars are the only way to appease us now 😏 We truly would watch all year. Believe me 🙌❤️
Alexandria,
I love the calendars. These videos are getting me through chemo! Please consider doing a big video where you open a couple in one video. Love after advent season, it's the best thing on TH-cam. 😊Thank you!

Good thing it's not about you.
Heehee you just want to watch the most engaging "boxing" ever!

me too!
me too
The size of that spoon and the hole so you can wear it takes me back to my youth. When coke spoons were like that. Just the spoons were quite a bit smaller back then.
Omg and the coke pinky nail? Lee press on for the poseurs! I was in over my head socially in the 90s, I was perpetually shocked lol...
Lmao that's the first thing I saw when I saw the spoon
This was nice but the sizes are so small! Day 12 was a joke!
ngl, I love the spatula. immediately went to the website to get one for myself lol
Tbh they should have included a voucher for a full size product from the calendar. That would have upped the value significantly.
Growing up (which was the only time I ever had advent calendars) we always did them as a countdown to Christmas. (Inverse numerical order.) Not that it mattered much because every day was the same piece of chocolate, lol!
Their mini sets average around $38 at Sephora. They last a while with regular use too. The value is over $100. Good deal, imo.
I really like the breakdowns and Final shot you have started adding. ♥♥
Love your channel. Total value is $90. Multiply 75x1.20.
93.75 dollars minus 20% is 75 dollars.
That’s how I’m mathing.
It's $75x1.25 if you want the price to be 20% off the value
There is a math learning disability called Dyscalculia. I have it and couldn't have been more relieved to finally have an explanation for my inability to do math. This is something I struggled with my entire life... I even had a tutor in first grade, to no avail.

I’m dyslexic and I can’t stop reading this as ‘Dracula’….I’m also horrendous at math so I’m guessing I have dyscalculia too 😅

So happy to see you back; Those sample size products were a total rip off UNLESS they were items that they included at no value like bonus products!
Whoohoo, a new package opener for Alex and it has a hole so she can rope it to the desk, so she can't lose it.😂
I can't math...so I married an engineer lol
Lol good move!
Me toooo😂😂😂
Me three!
Smart move! On my way right now to find myself an engineer😂
Ha very funny
I didn’t even know they did one till I saw it on tiktok and it wasn’t online anywhere. I love their stuff it is kinda expensive for me though

All year round advent calenders! I love watching these before bed ❤❤❤
I always keep Christmas decorations and our little tree until my Birthday in February, so I'm more than grateful for advent calendar unboxings to keep up the festive spirit!
your hair and makeup are so stunning here
I use the Glow Recipe Plum hyaluronic cream, and I love it. It's brought my skin back from the grave.
That overnight mask is soooo good
So I have had my eye on the VS one behind you! I absolutely love VS perfumes and body Stuff and I can’t wait to see what you get🥰🥰
I love glo recipe but only get in my subbox. Sooo expensive. Love your hair today, really pretty.
the body cream is so good though. i received a sample in an ipsy box and it is probably one of my favorite lotions. a little goes a long way and it does hydrate very well. I'm a nurse and my hands are so dry from washing them all the time and this body cream brings them back to life lol

Totally agree - so much plastic for so little product.
I could watch advent calendars all year long honestly
I LOVE the advent calendar series! I never want it to stop ngl 😂❤
Wren looks so heckin' cozy
I love the watermelon treatment
I love the plum plump serum although I ran out because I didn’t realise it had a lot of thick glass at the bottom and thought I had more left 😢
I put the face mist in the fridge as it’s feels amazing when it’s cold.
FYI Dollar Store, with green logo, has a complete dupe line of the Glow Line with identical ingredients!
I’m good seeing these Advent calendar’s all the way through March 😅 It’s interesting and fun to say the least ❤
Another great vid! Really interesting to see how much product was actually in those bottles. There's a series in that❤
Keep ADVENTS coming…..we all LOVE it and you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I always look forward to your videos. Always love advent calendars.
I love that there are still a bunch of advent calendars in your background hahaha
Honestly if you have that many serums putting the 5ml guys the calendar makes sense but just put like 3 in a day and make it a “try out our serums kit” - you can figure out which one works best for you it’s a good deal.
At least the squeeze tubes you could cut into them and get more product out of them
Ive been waiting for this one. Never tried their products yet....
I love watching these… cuz then I want to buy one…I head over here, and then that feeling goes away…pretty quickly actually!!
I was really curious about this one. I have a full size of the Plum Plump and it cleared up my forehead texture. It actually is refillable so you just buy the plastic pots and don't need to rebuy the glass container. They literally pop in the pot and peel the lid off.
Also I don't want to press about medical things but have you had a blood panel done (ANA specifically). I just thought I'd mention it because it was overlooked and I was basically gaslit by doctors for ages. I have Lupus and it didn't go over my nose like a butterfly like you were saying and I had a massive flare at 19. I was a little worried because your dogs having medical issues would literally throw me into a flare. (I'm in a full remission now 10+ years after a dx.). I noticed someone else with Lupus also caught that in your comments too.
I have to say, the spray does seem to have made your skin look really glowy. I love the plum plump stuff, myself. I'm cheap though and buy the refills and just refill a little jar.
I enjoy seeing all of these products that come in the advent calendars, but girl, I’m here for your reaction. You have me laughing so hard. Thank you for that 😂🥰 Great video as always!
The tree staying up way way over Christmas is a tradition... to make my neighbor crazy. 😂
I love watching ur advent calendar openings.
I love watching you open these it’s so relaxing
Love post-advent Advent Season on your channel! I think if you like Glow Recipe products this is a great way to try some more of the range and add to / build your skincare regime, so that offers good value - apart from the hair clips! For me, I prefer the mix of brands and products with a bit more monetary value
So happy, keep the Advents coming!
Year round advent calendars!!!
I adore Advent calendar season, we could do this all year long. I will say that for a 12 day calendar to get hair clips is a little disappointing. and getting the spatula is also disappointing. And getting it on day number 12 is definitely topsy-turvy.
I love Glow Recipe and this looks like a great sampling of their best products.
Maybe you are supposed to count down to 1. Old advent calendars when we were kids were a count-down to Christmas. LIke day 5 meant 5 days left until Christmas.
HEY GIRL!!! Been binging you for awhile now but just getting to commenting 😊 hometown was HUNTINGTON, WV so I’ve been LOVING your videos & seeing you thrive!!! Makes me so happy & such great content 🩵🩵🩵
I really like the idea that their calculated value excludes the trial sizes and merch. It's like those are a gift, on top of the 20% off the larger products.
BESIDES the fact that I had actually expected something to do with COOKING, ("Recipe" is in the name😂) and was subsequently disappointed, this was fun to watch (as always)!!!❤ I love that you showed just how SMALL the amount of product was in those containers!!! Love you, Alexandria!!!
I’m so glad you squeezed the tubes out! I was wondering how much was in there!
