Hey guys! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! So today we have a first I believe, a PR advent calendar! Jouer very kindly sent me this advent calendar but no matter what I have to give my truthful and honest opinion! Let me know what you guy thought of this calendar! Love ya💖
I think they are referring to the lip balm as not sticky which I do know some people have issues with, that's the only thing I can think of as to why you would want a matte balm
You can always wear the matte balm over a lip stain if you want more color. Or maybe the lip oil over the matte balm. I wouldn't want to wear a sticky lip gloss to bed so I would definitely take the matte balm over that. Would I pay $150 for this calendar? No. There just weren't enough full size products to justify that price. Were the items cute and wearable for my skin tone? Yes. Would I actually use all of them? Definitely. But I can see how it wouldn't work for a lot of people. I just happen to be incredibly pale and prefer pink tones over peachy orange shades.
@@cadycastle9957 Well, it also allows the product to be a bit more unisex as well. Guys might want to have lips that aren't dry/chapped without looking like they're wearing a gloss. That said, there are plenty of skincare brands that cater to them specifically already so they're probably not looking for this at Jouer. 🤷🏻♀️ But some women might not want something that high-shine either. And it might also be better for putting underneath of a lip product also. If it's not glossy, a matte or cream lip product might stay better than over a standard balm.
I love these lacquered metal looking hardshell compacts, as too many pricey cosmetics still use cheap plastic or cardboard for theirs. I also like the decently sized pretty compact mirror. Most travel mirrors are TINY. I don't mind mattifying balms under my lipstick, especially if they're super moisturising. If I wanted to try a balanced amount of popular products from this brand, I possibly would buy it, but know what is popular isn't always going to be my cuppa. I may be in the minority here, but I like travel sized lipstick, as most go bad before I use them up. I do wish they'd put travel sized lip kits as a day, like a mini lip pencil and lipstick, or a mini lipstick and gloss set. This way you get a bit more bang for your buck. Also, if brands watch your channel and read the comments, how about a mirrored holder for lipsticks and Lipglosses? Oh, while I am dreaming, how about bringing back train cases and purse sized hardshell cases to hold your essential touchup items? I wouldn't mind showing off a branded case or two if it was elegant and kept my purse clutter free. But yeah, on a whole, this box wouldn't be my first pick. How's Tater doing? Hope he's feeling better.
Honestly i could actually use a "yay you kept yourself alive through one more month" advent calendar... Make it weekly cuz dang.... grief is being rough
Great idea, each month could have a different theme. Kind of like a subscription box but there are thirty items that are opened each day, separately rather than just having been thrown loose in a box or stuffed in a make up bag lol. If I was in business I'd totally jump on that idea.
My grandma would have loved that cream stick blush. She used to use her old lipsticks as a blush and they took that shape so when she found one that was already intended to be a blush she was so excited. (Keep in mind this was like 30 to 40 years ago for context) She has since passed, so this made me miss her so much. 🫶🏼🙏🏻❤️
Let's be real, I watch old advent calendar unboxings all year long. Plus during advent calendar season to have even more advent calendars on top of the current ones.
Have you ever considered going into pr or advertisement? You have the absolute best way of describing a product that just isnt great for the majority of folks in a way that makes it seem desirable without pulling any fleece over our eyes. You are so gentle about the products and even more so anyone who might prefer a dry matte lip
I agree. I’ve bought some items from the different calendars because Alex has done them and is always honest. Hasn’t steered me wrong, I’m loving my new products!
Honestly loving advent calendars! 💕 I have a request for next year, a Lush advent calendar unboxing? I've always wanted to get one but they are so expensive and I think it would be fun to watch you unbox it.
You have been a troupe. I am allergic to almost all makeup, lotions and potions but watch all of your advent calendar openings. You humor makes me laugh.
Have you tried colourpop? I have found that most makeup burns me but colourpop has been good so far. There are just a couple colors of eyeshadow that don’t agree with me instead of full palettes.
@@Lauren_P_ I mostly use the eyeshadow/lip products, but they have been good for the couple years since I’ve started. I’ve gotten multiple palettes with lots of colors and I have only had an issue with one red eyeshadow. When I tried the primer, it burned my eyes, but I don’t think i had a lasting reaction.
This might've been one of those calendars that was meant to countdown from day 12 to day number 1? That way the full size setting powder would've been the last, most exciting thing. Idk if companies actually think that way but it would've made more sense
Seriously, try that cream blush. I actually paid full price for a Jouer cream blush several years ago because it was almost an exact match to a Mary Kay blush (I know. It was my best friend at the time, and it turned out to be a really great shade for my olive skin). Anyway, the Jouer blush was really great, a little on the dryer side, which was actually a bonus because it didn't immediately slide off my face. I really got my money's worth for that blush. (It was at the beginning of my let's change up everything, and the most expensive makeup I had ever bought came from Avon 🙄) . Long story short (Ha! As if... 😒), try that cream blush. You might actually like it.
Does anyone else want to to be besties with Alexandria ? Honestly love watching her videos it’s like chatting with the bestie on FaceTime . She’s just the sweetest person ❤
As much as I would love 5 advent calendar’s in one video I would and will watch you unbox them year round! Love it AND I might actually remember which ones I like if they are closer to Christmas 😅
i’m sitting in the middle of a power outage after just getting home from work I have 40% left on my phone and I have chosen to sacrifice some of it on this one and only video. I know this is the only one I can watch tonight and I’m more than happy to do it. Thank you for being awesome and with the night I had tonight I needed it.
I have zero problem with you continuing to do calendars if it means you can deduct them on your taxes hon. Keep em coming! As for this calendar, I think maybe they possibly meant the 12 days as a countdown (12, 11, 10..) in which case your final two days would be the full sized items. Not my choice in items either, I'm with you there, but they at least put some work into the design and quality of their packaging! Lovely!
i would actually LOVE videos from you about the last of us - its hands down one of the best shows i have seen in a long long time and feel like your commentary would be wonderful, and maybe a fun switch up for you personally in terms of content :)
the breakdown at the end with everything laid out is so helpful to see the true value bc a flashy box with little drawers is just a flashy box with little drawers lol wish we had that for all the rest of the calendars! (except seophra of course it'd just be really sad.)
I absolutely love the advent calendar series. You should save at least one for Christmas in July. You're going to have to break out the wheel to catch up on your monthly subs though.
tips for the crusty under eyes: prime them! with like a primer oil or something of the kind, and then use a hydrating concealer with minimal powder. i had the exact same problem a while ago and ever since i started that they’re been perfect!
I’ve found while being subscribed to Ipsy and other like services, the smaller sizes (not sample but not full size either) are just fine. Most of the time I’m throwing unfinished makeup’s away because it’s expired. But with the smaller sizes I actually am able to use them up. I feel less wasteful. I think the only part that’s frustrating is did I get my money’s worth. With advent calendars it’s a gamble because you cannot customize. Which is always the complaint.
I agree with this. The small size doesn’t worry me because most of the time I’m throwing out makeup because it’s expired. I don’t think I’ve ever finished a product. But the price has to reflect that the items aren’t full size. And it never seems like it does.
I understand the thought of having something in the calendar that is an actual makeup or skincare product, that being said, the Advent calendars that do include a mirror are NOWHERE near the quality and beauty of that compact mirror. Usually they look like a button that the pin was broken off. So theres that. And it's a nice weighty silver I'm guessing metal compact, so you'll not lose it as soon as you put it in your makeup case.
blue light therapy actually is meant to help acne, which is pretty neat i personally mainly use red light therapy and infrared, for pain reduction, but a lot of devices do both colors so yeah idk how i feel about blue light being bad - bad for eyes, sure, especially at night (because it keeps you awake), but idk about skin because it actually helps with acne
I too would happily watch advent calendars all year long. Must recommend the YesStyle advent calendar for next year. K- and J-beauty. All full size products, mostly skin care but usually some make up too and a wide range of brands, which is pretty fun.
I mean it's gotta almost be time to start prepping for this coming advent season no? And yes if honest I would watch them year-round....I like mystery boxes ....
That mirror compact IS legit very cute and pretty and I wouldn't mind receiving it if the other items in the box has been full size. But when paired with 80% sample sized stuff it sticks out as being a 'filler' item.
I’m enjoying all the Advent calendars like the spirit of Christmas is living on keep on coming we can do this all year and you should make your own advent calendars to sell to us with all the products you have I would truly buy one
I will watch however many calendars you want to open! ☺ I think the matte lip balm looked good on you, BUT I am so very glad to see that people have been moving away from the matte lip and full coverage matte foundation. I am old enough that when I started wearing makeup as a teenager, lip products were satin or glossy, foundation was natural or dewy and eye products were matte or slightly frosted. I am old, but that just seems like the natural order of things.
As a 34 year old I hated that bullshit satin glossy lipsticks they were and still are horrible along with that dewy crap. Give me full coverage best all day every day and that is the way I have worn my make up since 21 year's(2010) and I have gone almost natural for the last six year's for personal reasoning.. But my God I don't feel like me I feel like dog shit so here am going back to full coverage because that is what I love so no more with just mascara, little blush & lip color that is too natural for me and not me at all so only full coverage😍💚🥳
advent calenders should have a way of customizing their advents so you an choose light or dark eye things or what your blush colour is your fav or lipstick colour etc
I think this is a very fair review, and I totally agree with it. Specially cause we all know makeup costs companies very little money, the other day I saw that Jaclyn hill´s hairy lipsticks 😂😂 the cost was less than $1, so for none hairy ones (😂I can’t help myself) we can estimate how it wouldn’t be a lot more. And it’s obvious there are some other costs to selling products but I feel these companies don’t take their advent calendars seriously when it could be something super nice for their customers, that could lead to them finding good products and end up repurchasing them
I actually like this calendar a lot! I mean I don’t have $150 to spend LOL but I don’t mind mini lip products usually cause they’re good to throw on your purse and I usually don’t end up finishing my full sized ones anyway hahahaha and I just think that mirror with the floral engravings is sooo cute!
exclusive items: P.Louise kinda did that, if I understand correctly, they will make everything available at some point in 2023, but when the calendar came out for sale (September 2022) it was all unreleased stuff!🤩
I check your channel often to make sure I didn't miss a new video (I don't always trust the notifications!) I tell my husband how happy they make me since I can't justify spending any money as a stay at home mom! These videos give me a chance to sit down and relax and I swear my 4 month old knows your voice like a friend :):). Please keep them coming!!! Also, do you enjoy The Last of US? My husband and I have been watching and have enjoyed this new series the most in all our relationship! Episode 3 and 5 had me in tearssssss!
one year you could film opening a day of an advent calendar every day and make each month like a compilation video! i know you would forget some because i would too but you can just film a few days or a week at once too!
Miss Allie. This video came at the perfect time. We had another death in the family yesterday. Your video has lifted my spirits a bit today. Thank you.
I found a use for those milky shades...sometimes a lip product is a bit too bold for my taste or a bit brown or warm...a milky gloss really acts as a great color corrector.
Just something I have learned as a person with rosacea is that makeup brushes can cause flare ups for me, so I have to use a super light touch with a brush and mostly use makeup sponges. That might be what is happening with you. I hope that is helpful.
You did a great job reviewing this calendar! It’s hard to balance grace with honesty something but you did it well. I do not personally think I would use even one of these items in this calendar because of the shades and the fact that I have older skin which powder doesn’t agree with usually.
My optometrist has said that the blue light is a sham and that it's only a thing so companies have something else to sell unnecessary items at jacked up prices.
Thanks again for yet another fun advent calendar upboxing! I listen to your videos using earbuds and my husband knows when I'm watching you because of all the lols! Looking forward to the next one!
I, personally, love all these advent calendar videos because I LOVE surprises and I live vicariously through these videos,lol..since I don't have a wallet big enough for all these calendars,lol..and the pop up brush reminds me of avon...years..YEARS ago when, they came out with one and I thought it was cool(it had powder in the bottom)
Me personally I love watching all of your videos. The advent calendars, the subscription boxes, all of them! You're videos are always wonderful and brighten my day!
I know you think we're just being nice, but I'm really enjoying this. I put this on while I clean. I seriously could do this until it's time to open up next Christmases advent calendars

We are not just being sweet - we LOVE the advent calendar unboxings and would be happy to watch them all year long!
Very true!!!
Thirding this thought.
Yup
EXACTLY!! I was thinking yes we want to keep seeing them because we LOVE Alexandria’s Advent calendar unboxings 😁
Can confirm, I'm never sweet. Gimme the advent calendars!
Don’t worry, most of us knew exactly what you meant by describing a colour as having “a milky base” 😆
Anyone else wondering how many subscription boxes are piling up while we’re in the extended advent calendar season? 😂 TFS! 💜
Bring on the wheel of wonder for the build up of subscription boxes
Advent calendars are fun no matter what month of the year. 🤗🤗🤗
Haha Im glad you think so!
Every month needs an advent calendar. "I made it to the end of February.Yay me calendar" 😂
Haha I love this
Honestly i could actually use a "yay you kept yourself alive through one more month" advent calendar... Make it weekly cuz dang.... grief is being rough

I think the mirror is beautiful.
I love the advent calendars! Honestly and truly. If you enjoy them, keep doing them. If you're not having fun anymore, do what makes you happy. :)
We are not trying to be sweet, we actually want to see as many of these advent calendar videos as possible 😅😂
I absolutely love the advent calendar series. You should save at least one for Christmas in July. You're going to have to break out the wheel to catch up on your monthly subs though.
Blue light from staying up watching advent calendar's! One of my favorite nightly routines.
You are correct, blue light is not harmful to the skin or eyes. It's a great scam.

You can really stop feeling bad that you're still doing Advent calendars, they are fantastic regardless the month! So much fun
I love the advent calender unboxings are so much fun. I could really watch them the whole year. This box seems a little light on value.
advent calenders should have a way of customizing their advents so you an choose light or dark eye things or what your blush colour is your fav or lipstick colour etc
That would be agreed idea
Hiii Alexandria! 💕 ...Loving the calendars. And 5 at once? *Excited*
I always look forward to your advent calendar series. Soo ill be sad when its over not going to lie!

These advent calendar videos are the reason I can't wait for holiday season. Pinnacle of the year 😊
one year you could film opening a day of an advent calendar every day and make each month like a compilation video! i know you would forget some because i would too but you can just film a few days or a week at once too!
Miss Allie. This video came at the perfect time. We had another death in the family yesterday. Your video has lifted my spirits a bit today. Thank you.
So very sorry for your loss. Only time will help heal. Take care of yourself.
Sincere condolences ❤️
Love the idea of the grand finale of advent calendar video!!! 🎉
I personally love the advent calendar videos. The Last of Us is an amazing game and show.
I love your Advent Calendar unboxing….I ONLY watch yours so keep it going….❤️❤️❤️
I prefer 5 videos of one calendar at a time than 5 calendars in one video. 🙂
Please be grateful. Maybe it's better for her.
I can state my preference. Don't tell me to be grateful. You don't know if I am or not.
It started out so good. I get what you mean by milky color. Keep the calendars come. ❤️ them
Omg no not a finale! I want this to go on alot longer please
I found a use for those milky shades...sometimes a lip product is a bit too bold for my taste or a bit brown or warm...a milky gloss really acts as a great color corrector.
Just something I have learned as a person with rosacea is that makeup brushes can cause flare ups for me, so I have to use a super light touch with a brush and mostly use makeup sponges. That might be what is happening with you. I hope that is helpful.
You did a great job reviewing this calendar! It’s hard to balance grace with honesty something but you did it well. I do not personally think I would use even one of these items in this calendar because of the shades and the fact that I have older skin which powder doesn’t agree with usually.
My optometrist has said that the blue light is a sham and that it's only a thing so companies have something else to sell unnecessary items at jacked up prices.
Thanks again for yet another fun advent calendar upboxing! I listen to your videos using earbuds and my husband knows when I'm watching you because of all the lols! Looking forward to the next one!
We aren’t just being sweet no joke I’d watch advent calendar videos all year long.. never stop 🥲
I, personally, love all these advent calendar videos because I LOVE surprises and I live vicariously through these videos,lol..since I don't have a wallet big enough for all these calendars,lol..and the pop up brush reminds me of avon...years..YEARS ago when, they came out with one and I thought it was cool(it had powder in the bottom)
No! Thank you for continuing the Advent Calendars! 🥰 Love them! ❤️
Hey an advent calendar for Valentine's Day doesn't sound too bad. See we really do want them all year yo!!
Me personally I love watching all of your videos. The advent calendars, the subscription boxes, all of them! You're videos are always wonderful and brighten my day!
A matte balm is wonderful if you’re putting it under a drying lipstick. That’s what you would use a matte balm for.
YAY FEBRUARY LETS KEEP GOING WITH THE CALENDARS ❤❤❤❤❤
I love your content, and will gladly watch advent videos into June. They're fun, and I love watching you unbox them.
I do love the Essential High Coverage concealer. They actually make a shade light enough for me.
I’m kinda sad that advent calendars might be ending soon. These are my favorite videos of yours!
Omg yes. Another one. 😊😊😊. And a 5 advent calendar opening. Yessssss please.
I love your videos. I could watch the Advent Calendar unboxings all day
I know you think we're just being nice, but I'm really enjoying this. I put this on while I clean. I seriously could do this until it's time to open up next Christmases advent calendars
