As someone who used to work for Benefit…most of the products in their advent calendar aren’t even mini’s they are sample size!! Honestly very disappointing to see :(
I actually love your content. You’ve helped me so much to save my money. It’s just refreshing to hear your opinions over all the TikTok crazy consumerism
Third! Never doubt yourself, your videos make me smile everytime I get a new notification thst you posted ❤Can't wait to watch this video! Love you Elle ❤
I've recently really been loving and literally binging your content and you have helped me a lot with finding products that could work on my oily skin. So thank you for doing this❤
What a waste to "fill" the TirTir calender with useless ornaments. I do agree it's a better deal than most of the others. Happy Holidays Elle! Thank you for your sincere content 😊
I think there’s a novelty in buying an advent calendar, and they’re fine as gifts, but I wouldn’t recommend buying it for personal use. It’s more cost effective to just specifically buy what you want.
I stumbled upon your channel going back home from a Thanksgiving drive of 4hrs and have binged your content! You might be a "small" creator but you're definitely amazing, sis ❤🎉
I have recently subscribed and started watching your videos and as someone who has just started getting into makeup in her 20s with adult money to spend you helped me to think before buying everything i see on social media 😅
I typically don’t recommend brand specific advent calendar (Laneige did have a good one). I think many from the US suck. The ones from the UK are worth it. It’s not filled with samples. They are full sizes and worth the value even if there are a few things I don’t like/won’t be able to use.
I got the Trader Joe’s 12 days of beauty and I really liked it!! The only thing I don’t see myself using is the glitter sunscreen because it is a little orange and I’m so pale and cool toned so didn’t work but other than that I loved it!!
This is completely unrelated to the video but I've always struggled to create a (to me) smokey eye look, it always looked out of place on me. I figured it was partly my technique and part a difficult eye shape. Your eye looks always look so great so I recently tried to recreate how you wear it and something CLICKED for me. I'm becoming an eyeshadow fan, so thanks for the unintentional confidence boost!
Yay!! I'm so happy you can feel confident in it now. 🥹 And in case it helps, my trick is to build up pigment outward like a cat eye rather than the traditional blown out crease. I find it flatters my smaller eye shape more, and is less overpowering!
I love your videos you make, a few months ago your video were recommended and i was obsessed and still am love love watching your content theey are my favourite i simply agree with you so much love Elle❤❤
I got the Stylevana advent calendar last year and the year before. I was generally happy with it, but I didn't bother getting one this year. There was always products I couldn't or wouldn't use. And it was at least 50% serums, so I'm still a year later working through them. I don't regret buying them but it didn't make sense to get another one. As you said, it makes more sense to just buy what I want. I've realised I like the idea or the dream of an advent calendar but the reality is always disappointing, even when it's a good calendar. It'll never be as amazing as the one you imagine when you are buying it.
Righhtttt, I think the idea is fun. That’s why I think if you’re buying it just for the experience (not the products) it’s fine! But for the products… meh. Thanks for sharing your experience. 😊
I got my first advent calendar this year, I am from Brazil so they are still kind of new here, but I got it because it is a collaboration of 4 Asian Brazilians independent artists, and I love art! I prefer to buy one from indie business instead of buying 2 advent calendars from big brands!
From what I know from social media, the UK calendars actually have great value, but not the US ones. Also the high-end / luxury calendars are usually the worst... Maybe you could roast the $800 Chanel one from 2021 or so :D
In terms of pure value, i find that kbeauty and UK advent calendars are the absolute best! You might pay more for the calendar upfront but they give you actual full sizes/usable minis. I've heard even the UK (or maybe european in general) sephora calendars are better than the US ones and have actual makeup in them 😂
At this point, just go to the instores for the minis and samples caz it's getting ridiculous with all these calendars But I will say the best one ive ever got was the Yesstyle one last year!
I never buy advent calendars because at least half the things in them are things I never use or don't like, so it isn't worth it for me personally as I am on the fussy side. Even the Korean ones from Yesstyle and stylevana, despite loving Korean skincare, half the calendar was makeup and I actually hate korean makeup for its lack of diversity to non white/pale folks. If Lisa Eldridge did a calendar, I would so buy that as I love all her stuff, but I don't think she has enough product range for it. Btw, it's great that you engage in the comments, as most influencers don't at all which makes leaving comments pointless
A Lisa Eldridge advent calendar would be awesome!!! But pricey 😭 I love engaging with you! Especially before all the mean comments from random viewers come in lol
Did I miss something? But with 16 doors it’s not an advents calendar for me! 😅 Also, why do brands think people want to decorate their home with makeup packaging, especially with their name on it? What’s going on
@ellerchu I think Robert Welsh mentioned you? Saying you were like the old school creators? I hope I'm not wrong here but I think you're who he was talking about
@ it was the sephora favorites advent calendar! That one had amazing products inside actually even tho the price tag was also hefty but imo worth it if one does not already own those products :)
I have been binging your content recently and really really enjoy the content you put out! I’m subscribed, love what you do, keep doing it! 🖤🖤🖤
omg, Robert! It means a lot coming from you. Thank you for the love. 🥹🫶
@@ellerchuthis is such a win girly❤️❤️❤️

No!!! 😭
so happy how even though tir tir has previously sponsored you, you were completely honest about your opinions and there was no bs given.
I actually love your content. You’ve helped me so much to save my money. It’s just refreshing to hear your opinions over all the TikTok crazy consumerism
Thank you so much for sticking around!!

Happy Holidays Elle! Thank you for your sincere content 😊
I put them on my tree to make them useful - very influencer thing to do. 😂 Happy holidays!
Glad you're keeping with your content style! That last video you mentioned was the first of yours I watched and I haven't stopped since 🙂

Redeemable gift cards in advent calendars and making your own are so genius!!
You could even have someone put all the products in boxes for you, so it’ll still be a surprise every day!
Just started watching yesterday, your advice has been great and I absolutely loveee your eye looks.
omg, welcome!! And thank you so much. ♥️
I really love your videos! I think you're so smart and thoughtful. You strike a great balance enjoying and challenging beauty 😊
You get it!! Thank you for the support. 🫶

I’ll have to look up the UK advent calendars then!
Dang, that would have been a good idea for this video. Wish I thought of it. 😭

I'm a new sub. I like counter consumption videos. Plus very pretty
Did I miss something? But with 16 doors it’s not an advents calendar for me! 😅 Also, why do brands think people want to decorate their home with makeup packaging, especially with their name on it? What’s going on
I didn’t even notice 🤣
Is this the creator Robert was recommending???? I think she might be...
Wait did I miss something? 👀
@ellerchu I think Robert Welsh mentioned you? Saying you were like the old school creators? I hope I'm not wrong here but I think you're who he was talking about
It was someone else I think 🤭
Sephora actually had another calendar, even tho I actually think the other one was worth the money , it sold out so fast 😣
Wait what did I miss? 👀
@ it was the sephora favorites advent calendar! That one had amazing products inside actually even tho the price tag was also hefty but imo worth it if one does not already own those products :)
Also please look at the actually sizes of the benefit products 😭 it’s bad
I know!!! Like why 😭
"Fun" size? Fun for whom?
Apparently that might code for normal sample size lol
FIRSTTTT!
Thank you 🥹
@@ellerchu THANK YOU!!!
dont be so harsh sephora advent calender is good
If that was harsh, then I’m glad products don’t have feelings 😅
