The basket is cute, but I had one of those mini size mascaras for free on my birthday with boots advantage card. Think they might be free samples the give out!!
Thank you for unboxing this, I was so tempting to buy this calendar but after the unbox I´m not so into it. The products are so small and they have used the money on the shopping basket.. You just saved my money, so thank you dear ❤❤❤
Nice to see them doing something a bit different for a change. It is all still quite small, but certainly a step up from years prior. Their Roller Lash mascara has become a recent favourite of mine too. Stays put, great lift and volume effect with only a couple of strokes and comes off super easy with a bit of micellar water. Super easy to use! I'm currently using their Fan Fest mascara and I'd much prefer the Roller Lash one, personally.
There seems to be a lot of minis in this one. The basket is actually the best part. You should definitely use it to shop your stash! Great video though.
Hi Karen OMG never seen anything so cute 🥰 thank u so much for sharing I think this is a lovely cutest advent calendar I have ever seen enjoy all the lovely benefit goodies❤❤
For your US followers, this is $177.00 on the US site. Love what the design team did for this one, nice, functional keepsake, or a great re-gift item for a little lady! We complain about mini's but they've included some good choices, it's still a decent buy, and would make a great teen gift. Thank you Karen, we're all in for your 2024 Advent presentations....the best is always expected, and you always deliver for us! 🥰
Advent season has officially started 🎉 Yayyyy thanks Karen ❤ Not one I’d ever consider getting, due to the poor value. I can’t believe they made the deluxe sizes of some of the products even smaller! It looks super cute though with the basket.
I actually quite like this! Definitely agree that there is a lot of minis, however I don’t own many benefit products at all and I really want to try them. I totalled how much the products that I’d want to buy, that appear in the calendar and it comes to £120, so I might as well get the calendar :)
I think you should have a 'Fab' counter. Surely there are other words you could use! Lol. Im just about to watch this now, but I've been binging this years advent videos from you and I firmly believe that im in the hundreds from my tally! ha ha
I dont think it's too bad if you like benefit. I have a teenage daughter who would love this, I'd probably wrap it as an extra Christmas gift rather than let her have it as an advent calendar.
I am so excited that advent seizoen has begun! It’s so exciting. This one looks so nice but so many minis does not justify the price. So big no for me. Thanks for unboxing though it was fun to watch. ❤
Karen, try to build up a blush "Claudia". Recently I've got a very pale blush "Sex appeal" by Nars in some box. And I thought to use it as a face powder. But to my surprise it happens to be so buildable and gives such a perfect peach colour. It's my fav now. I thought to share my experience on a pale blush with you. Oh, and pale blushes are a trend in Korea now:)
I never bother with benefit cos it's usually a bit overpriced for the same items and they're always a bit stingy with the sizes. Love the basket tho!! 😍best bit 😆 x
I’ve actually had the tiny brow ones as samples before - I’ve 3 that were samples from Sephora 🤷♀️ bit of a swiz imo when for example look fantastic charge £99 and you get £700 of products 🤷♀️
Well well, i might will never be able to buy any advent calendar i guess, as I'm in SE Asia. Even if i can buy it online, the shipping cost would be more expensive than the package itself, so I'll just be happy to see you unboxing it, as always😊
I like the variety of the products but and it’s a big but U don’t like the 1. Itsy bitsy sizes. They aren’t deluxe, they are mini samples 2. I wouldn’t be able to use the shade 4 brow products. Thankfully only 2 items but I love Benefit brow products 3. The huge boxes to pack tiny 1 use items 4. I’ve tried the plush tints in Ipsy glam bags, they’re not great. I don’t think they’ll be around for long I liked that they offered 4 different shade blushes in decent sizes. Liked that they included full sized mascaras. My 2 favourites are the FanFest ( current favourite mascara) and Big bad bang which was my previous favourite. Benefit just do the best brow & mascara products. Everything else, I test before purchase. Overall, it’s not a calendar I would purchase. The value is not there for me personally as there are too many products, I couldn’t use because of shade & they tend to be the larger products. 😐
The packaging is so cute but I think it seems too expensive for what you get. If it was more around the £100 mark then maybe! Like some of the products are so teeny they'd be more like sample sizes you could get for free if you ask nicely at a counter, or that are occasionally given away in magazines
Love your videos karen amd im so excited gor advent season but this one isnt a hit for me, far ro many minis, not so good value as say glossy or look fantastic, looking forward to seeing them
A bit odd that they claim the silicone primer could be used for touch ups I feel like it would just slip and slide on the skin. The mini blushes are so cute ! But overall I think I’d pass on this. Thank you for sharing and putting the work into this video for us though, always appreciated 💕 ps the minis are mining 😂
For that price I would want more full sized products, Im also not a fan of a red lip so they won't be for me need other shades of lip products, too many brow products, it's just not for me. 😞 Was really looking forward to this one too x
Benefit is a pricey brand. The content of most of there products is with low content. Size of regular products is also small. But you don’t need much for usage. I love there brow products. The mini sizes are ideal for in your bag.
I love the basket. BUT, these companies really need to stop with all the mini sizes. I thought it was just the US that used these teeny tiny sizes. They can afford to do full sizes. Thanks for the first advent calendar (for me) of the season.
The sizes of benefit products is shocking! Their 'mini" sizes are basically 3 uses and gone yet they charge over £12 for the mini primers! This calendar doesn't impress me, and I'm not sure if you could even get more than one use out of the mini clay mask one.
The basket is cute but disappointed sooo many minis here I’m sure they can afford to spoil there supporters at Christmas thanks for sharing not for me sadly xx
Love the basket more than the product selection 😂 use it for your empties!!!
Same 😂😂😂 can I just get the basket
weirdly expensive for this amount of mini😅 however I’m so glad to see new season of unpacking from you! exited ❤❤
It's now officially advent season!!! ❤
Yeah 👍👍👍
It's not for another 3 months.
Oh my gosh! The amount of sample sizes in this calendar is shocking!
Wow very small bits as usual, love the bad girl bang mascara. The basket is really cute
I love the basket… not prepared to pay RRP for the sheer number of minis in this calendar, but if the basket landed on my doorstep I’d not say no! Xxx
So basically mainly free sample sizes. Thank goodness for the lovely basket. At least it's got that going for it.
My favourite is the Advent calendar openings ❤
What beautiful packaging! So cute. Thanks for the unboxing Karen, it has begun!!! So excited for advent season x
The basket is soooo cute 💗💗💗💗💗💗
The basket is cute, but I had one of those mini size mascaras for free on my birthday with boots advantage card. Think they might be free samples the give out!!
How fun! First advent calendar of the season I've seen!!
Thank you for unboxing this, I was so tempting to buy this calendar but after the unbox I´m not so into it. The products are so small and they have used the money on the shopping basket.. You just saved my money, so thank you dear ❤❤❤
So many minis and similar products. I think the basket was my favorite part!

I enjoy the designs, the theme is fun, even it's not very christmassy indeed !

OMG! I'm so excited to see you unboxing the very first calendar of this season❤❤❤
Yeah! Love the the advent season !
The baskets ree amazingly awesome 🌸💗
Love it.
Ok, but how cute the design is💕💕
I love all of those brow and lash products 🤩🤩🤩
I think it’s worth it, because these products are amazing

Yay!!! And so it begins!!!

That’s a fun-looking advent calendar! By the way, you are gorgeous.
Yeees!! I love advent season!♥️
Thank you for the unboxing.
I'm really quite disappointed with the calendar so many minis and what I would call samples. I think I'll pass on this one. Love advent season.
Use the basket to put your Empties in! 😄
Je préfère les calendriers de multi marque , mais je suis contente que la saison commence 🎉🥰
Merci pour le déballage 🙏🏼
My hubby helps me open stuff too. XD
The packaging is cute but so many tiny products!!
as an ex benefit consultant, none of these minis are full size minis. all sample sizes! for the price, absolute rip off
I don't mind mini bronzers and blushes but the rest of the minis looks like sample
I think advent calendars are a joke but this year has started with a comedy festival 😂
Whoop whoop 🎉🎉 It’s advent season! Far too many minis for me, won’t be purchasing but a fab watch ❤
Benefit dropped early last year too- not tempted! Holding out!
wanna wanna wanna❤❤❤
Poor value ☹️
It’s like this every year!!! 😢😢😢
I dont think it's too bad if you like benefit. I have a teenage daughter who would love this, I'd probably wrap it as an extra Christmas gift rather than let her have it as an advent calendar.
@@acs6785a teenger will like the space nk one
WOWWWWWW❤❤❤
1 word: mini!!!!! 🧐
Great video. I still think lots of these products are too small, disappointing as I liked the design.
I am so excited that advent seizoen has begun! It’s so exciting. This one looks so nice but so many minis does not justify the price. So big no for me. Thanks for unboxing though it was fun to watch. ❤
I think ill wait for the sales. 😂

Advent season already oh my gosh it seems like it’s getting earlier in earlier and earlier every year
What lip colour are you wearing in the video please ❤
Well well, i might will never be able to buy any advent calendar i guess, as I'm in SE Asia. Even if i can buy it online, the shipping cost would be more expensive than the package itself, so I'll just be happy to see you unboxing it, as always😊

Too many minis for me. May tempted if I can get it at a discount. I fear other calendars might be "mini heavy" this year.
Enjoying your advent videos.
What is the width, length and depth of the box?
The basket is the best thing about the calendar! I can’t believe they made the sizes smaller than the deluxe minis, makes it really poor value :(
The packaging is so cute but I think it seems too expensive for what you get. If it was more around the £100 mark then maybe!

❤❤❤
A dont think I'll be picking that up way too many minis for the price xx
Quite disappointing but there’s a silver lining Karen , you can shop your stash with the basket !! 👏🏻
Benefit should be ashamed of them selves 😏
For that price I would want more full sized products, Im also not a fan of a red lip so they won't be for me need other shades of lip products, too many brow products, it's just not for me. 😞 Was really looking forward to this one too x
I love the design. It’s a shame about the sizes though!
Looks like they have spent more on packaging and concentrated on the packaging then the items x
I *love* the basket, but I think there too many minis of minis for me 😬
For the price I’m going to pass there are too many minis for me
The samples scare me. For this price it's a shame they give such small capacities. The basket is the best😁😅
The variety and size of the products is better than previous years, but still too many mini products
If the price drops I’d consider getting it, but I’d give it to my daughter as a Christmas present. Not that great as a callender x
The Benifit calendar is the same exact products every year.
Cute design idea but I will pass on this one as I prefer calendars from multiple brands
Yes, too many minis. Yes, not a great value. But ADVENT SEASON IS HERE!!
not doing it for me to many minis not good value
Enjoy your video I'd never pay for this advent box!! Way too small, almost all of the items!
Yay for advent season but I am a solid NO on this one, the value isn’t there compared to other calendars and the products were tiny.
No eyeshadow? Also, whoever named the blushes seems to be colorblind 😂
Benefit is a pricey brand. The content of most of there products is with low content. Size of regular products is also small. But you don’t need much for usage. I love there brow products. The mini sizes are ideal for in your bag.

That is a lot of money for free samples. 😮
Those microscopic products are a waste of packaging 😢
What a disappointment to have mainly minis, how they can charge over £150 for it is astounding
That seems like a bit of a rip off. I would have thought those minis were more like sample/freebies!
Love the basket, but quite predictable products
Why is everything so small ! 😂
Not cruelty free 😢
The sizes of benefit products is shocking! Their 'mini" sizes are basically 3 uses and gone yet they charge over £12 for the mini primers! This calendar doesn't impress me, and I'm not sure if you could even get more than one use out of the mini clay mask one.
I had to sit on my hands not to buy this 😂 can’t justify paying £160 for a pink basket though as that’s what I really wanted 😂
The basket is cute but disappointed sooo many minis here I’m sure they can afford to spoil there supporters at Christmas thanks for sharing not for me sadly xx
Too many small items for the price x
I love Benefit products but I would never by their advent calendar. It just seems to be such a rip-off with all the small sample sizes.
Its benefit and their products are small always. Why did anyone expect anything different 😂
In germany this Calender 300€, this is not good Deal.
I wouldn’t want to pay £50 for this. Very disappointing.
