I was thinking of getting this one as love Elemis too but think I’ll just leave it as not as good as I had hoped. Plus I agree with you about the drawer with the facecloth and headband. A bit disappointing. Thank you for sharing it. I got a full size Elemis Marine Cream in the LookFantastic Advent Calendar 2024 and it was only £88.💕
I agree I was going to get this one until I saw what was included thought last years looked better. Look out on QVC though they always do nice Christmas offers on Elemis sets😊
Dear Karen, your reactions are so on point and genuine. Love that. The calendar is a bit disappointing. You’re so right about the cloth and headband. Felt like fillers to me, just like the mini sizes. I expected more deluxe sizes with maybe 1 or 2 full sizes. But regrettably it was not. So it’s a no for me for this calendar. Really lacks the wow affect.
I love Elemis thanks to your calendar last year. I'm so excited to see what they have for 2024. I need to have a snack watching this. I'll be back. So happy! 💙💙💙💙 Last years' box was so unique I put my tiny Christmas ornaments in it. The cloth alone was a bit disappointing. I just got a small size of the Lavender toner in the older packaging I'm in the US so that might make a difference. So glad I got this last year. I'm so hooked on Elemis that anytime they have an offer with free gift(s) with purchase that I like l'm on it. I'm 68 divorced and never thought I'd be this excited over skincare! Please no judging. lol I'll continue the video and end my comment here. Thanks for getting this calendar Karen and all the others. Love ya ! 💗💙💗
I love Elemis but I don’t think this calendar is really worth it. I can’t believe they just put a single cloth in a draw 😮 I think I’ll hold out for the QVC Elemis Christmas TSV.
Thank you, Karen! Loved the video, love Elemis, but the Cleansing cloth by its own and your reaction is so on point!! I bought from QVC the 200ml supersize and came without a cloth, was so sad and contacted them, and yes, no Cleansing cloth :(
Elemis always do amazing branding with their Advent Calendar's, I agree with you, what has happened this year! Felt disappointed with that then felt your added disappointment with only a cleansing cloth in a draw! It's a lot of money to pay for a lot of mini's as well! Good range of products, would have liked to see a few more full sized products, it is for Christmas after all. Thanks for reviewing this, been an eye opener for me and I adore Elemis as well. 😢
Thanks for sharing Karen ... I think this year's calendar is a complete anti climax and one that I will definitely be giving a miss ... disappointing to say the least but thank you as always xx
I was waiting for this as I love Elemis too but I think it’s a lot of money for what it is I think I’ll wait for the red body shop one instead I ordered the Elemis set instead x
Thank you Karen! Lovely products but a bit on the expensive side/would have been nice to include some more full size products (cloth by itself does not help...)
Thank you for your vids, and for saving my money on this one. I had to laugh at the cleansing cloth description from them = 'cloth maintains its heat efficiency when used in warm water', lol like every cloth then. Also disappointed its not at all Christmassy in it's design.
I counted and I've received 11 of these products in this size or larger as free gifts with other purchases this year. It feels like straight robbery to charge this much for free samples and a headband.
I’ve been lucky enough to try lots of Elemis products in subscription boxes so I would have duplicates with this calendar. The two filler products are annoying as well. There are some nice products in here I would like to try but I think I’ll purchase them separately. Thank you for sharing the unboxing.
QVC have the night cream on in full size x 2 tubs for. Only £85 at the moment 😊 More than half price! They have stopped doing the sos cream though so I’m stuffed when I have an allergic reaction and my skin goes all dry and irritated too 😢 I bought this last week but they cocked up my order so I’m still waiting on a refund as they have my money but haven’t got the order going through 🤷♀️😩
I love Elemis so much and i wish i could afford to buy their products and i would have loved this calender but its to much money for me sadly 😔 But i love to watch ❤
Hi Karen love your vlogs each year thank you just wanted to ask you where did you get your hoodie from it looks soo soft please if you don’t mind can you tell me thanks lots of love from London
I laughed out loud at 'is this another CLOTH' looks great otherwise for discovering new products. I'm going to look at is as part of my non-food advent options this year!
I love Elemis products however for such small sizes it's very pricey this year,,,,I've got lots of Elemis products with other calendars like from Harrods, Look Fantastic and Glossy box....and it doesn't look like 🎄 Christmas at all😢
haha it's very funny to hear you say that shower gel is your favorite from them, because I could barely finish mine with how overpowering and unpleasant I found the scent 😅 different strokes
Just did the math and every item in this box would have to average £21.50 (including the cloth and the headband) to equal what Elemis claims the value is. That is laughable.
@@mrsllamahead that's for the purchase price. I was calculating what Elemis is claiming the actual value of the calendar is, which is £535. So we're both right!
Indeed the design is a bit disappointed compared to how good it was last year ! They really should have given the cloth duo or the cloth and the headband together, because those 2 days are a bit sad, especially since the boxes are bigger so people would be excited to open those days.
The headband and wash cloth should just not be in there, omit and put a full size product 😅 it’s embarrassing because they are deff a luxury brand. Step. It. Up. Thank you for the awesome video ❤
Elemis is gorgeous. I'm not impressed with some products though. When you pay a fortune, you expect to get full sizes and decent travel sizes, but not a cloth in such giant drawer.
Thanks for sharing Karen. They could have been a little more generous with the sizes, the face cloth and headband is a huge let down. Not very well curated with filler items 😢
I love Elemis but goodness me, this is disappointing with all the small travel sizes and 2 boxes with a hair band and a single cloth! I wont be picking this on up, especially javing got the cream in Look Fantastic.
Looks like they needed to raise the price point on this calendar but they decided not to and just make some cheap switches sad to see poor decision elemis
On my humble opinion this was a very disappointing calendar! First and foremost the 2 drawers with the face cloth and the head band were a huge miss! How is it even possible that a high end skincare brand like Elemis decided to put one tiny little item in two draws, which are basically fillers and they don't have a value at all on their own? So this brings down the number of drawers to 23 instead of 25 and reduces the supposed cost that they claim for this calendar. Secondly, I cannot remember seeing a full sized item throughout the whole calendar, except fro the last day which was indeed a full size face cream. The rest of the items in this calendar were either sample sizes(5 ml) or deluxe travel sizes which makes it even worse. If you purchase from website or counters Elemis products they give all those fillers that they had put in 24 drawers for free with your purchases. Obviously, this is where brands like this or any other make the money nice and easy, by counting ml of samples against the full size value. I would like to thank you for the unboxing and it is always a pleasure to see you unboxing the advents . But in all honesty, i am ever so disappointed from this calendar for which i had so much high expectations. Let us hope that next years will be a better one !Thank you for the unboxing !
YOU GOT EVERYTHING FOR FREE ( PR PR PR ) ofc,totally unfair against other people,we need all pay....... Maybe you spended for 1-2 advent calendar,deffinitely others are part of PR.... go away with your stupid discount codes,if I use it you gain €€ I rather buy without your code.
I really wanted this but now I've seen the sizes i feel it's a complete let down, thank you for saving me some money

Great Elemis calendar.
I love Elemis but I don’t think this calendar is really worth it. I can’t believe they just put a single cloth in a draw 😮 I think I’ll hold out for the QVC Elemis Christmas TSV.
I was thinking of buying this, but the cloth and head band on its own put me off ❤
The Design was much beter last year 😊 The sizes too small for such an expensive kalander 🤔
Thank you for unboxing 🥰
I thought the post box one was the best x
Wow, how disappointing after last year's amazing design! That phone box was the cutest calendar ever.
Thank you, Karen! Loved the video, love Elemis, but the Cleansing cloth by its own and your reaction is so on point!! I bought from QVC the 200ml supersize and came without a cloth, was so sad and contacted them, and yes, no Cleansing cloth :(
A small tip: Yves Rocher also has a line with Monoï scented body products 😊
A cleansing cloth? By itself? 😮 I've mentioned previously, this is a skincare dream 😊 Except for drawer 7 I really like it! Thank you Ms.! 🥲

Hi Karen. The Elemis face oils are put on under serum and moisturiser and not on top. They have been developed to go straight on to clean skin.
Thank you Karen! Lovely products but a bit on the expensive side/would have been nice to include some more full size products (cloth by itself does not help...)
Wait a bit girl! Last year in november it went with 25% discount. That's the moment I picked it up. I paid around 160 euro then.❤
Nice calender love how honest you are!
I have that essence I realised you can just give it a gentle squeeze and comes out better than tapping xxx
Thank you for your vids, and for saving my money on this one. I had to laugh at the cleansing cloth description from them = 'cloth maintains its heat efficiency when used in warm water', lol like every cloth then. Also disappointed its not at all Christmassy in it's design.
Your silence…your disappointed silence…makes ME feel guilty 🤣😂🤣😂 (the cloth) God help your kids LOL
I counted and I've received 11 of these products in this size or larger as free gifts with other purchases this year. It feels like straight robbery to charge this much for free samples and a headband.
Same here. Got a few in lookfantastic beauty / limited edition boxes.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the wella copper, how long it lasts etc, it's quite expensive isn't it? Done. Xxx

There are some nice products in here I would like to try but I think I’ll purchase them separately. Thank you for sharing the unboxing.
I'm looking for advent calendars for myself, but I won't be getting this one. How disappointing. I'll wait till they have the deals on QVC.
QVC have the night cream on in full size x 2 tubs for. Only £85 at the moment 😊 More than half price! They have stopped doing the sos cream though so I’m stuffed when I have an allergic reaction and my skin goes all dry and irritated too 😢
I bought this last week but they cocked up my order so I’m still waiting on a refund as they have my money but haven’t got the order going through 🤷♀️😩
@missboux when you going to do the sehpora one?
I'll wait for a QVC TSV. Great unboxing. They didn’t actually need such a big box....
I love Elemis so much and i wish i could afford to buy their products and i would have loved this calender but its to much money for me sadly 😔 But i love to watch ❤

I love Elemis products however for such small sizes it's very pricey this year,,,,I've got lots of Elemis products with other calendars like from Harrods, Look Fantastic and Glossy box....and it doesn't look like 🎄 Christmas at all😢
I’m also sad about sizes( at least couple more full size would make a whole different impression, even the cheapest ones
haha it's very funny to hear you say that shower gel is your favorite from them, because I could barely finish mine with how overpowering and unpleasant I found the scent 😅 different strokes
❤❤
Verrrry poor !! I definitely will not be purchasing! So disappointing Elemis! Thank you so much for sharing and letting us know!!!!! X
Hiii
Just did the math and every item in this box would have to average £21.50 (including the cloth and the headband) to equal what Elemis claims the value is. That is laughable.
I make it 7.96, 199 divided by 25?
@@mrsllamahead that's for the purchase price. I was calculating what Elemis is claiming the actual value of the calendar is, which is £535. So we're both right!
@@ashcraft555 Ah! That makes perfect sense, I was doubting my maths, you are right, that is laughable!
Indeed the design is a bit disappointed compared to how good it was last year ! They really should have given the cloth duo or the cloth and the headband together, because those 2 days are a bit sad, especially since the boxes are bigger so people would be excited to open those days.
HIde the pot from day 25, wrapped.. and see how long it takes him to notice it's not in the calendar - then how long until he finds it!
Bit disappointed, I have had a lot of those in boxes, I think I will pass 😢
It could have at least been the pack of cloths , bit cheeky elemis.
You speak to soon about the cleansing cloth.😅 i really wanted to like this calendar but I just can't. Too many mini sizes.
The headband and wash cloth should just not be in there, omit and put a full size product 😅 it’s embarrassing because they are deff a luxury brand. Step. It. Up.
Thank you for the awesome video ❤
Elemis is gorgeous. I'm not impressed with some products though. When you pay a fortune, you expect to get full sizes and decent travel sizes, but not a cloth in such giant drawer.
Elemes missed this year - Cleansing cloth in a separate box, lots of travel or sample size products. Absolutely, skipping it.
Ur favorite one right?? 😂😂😂
Love is blind 😂
Thanks for sharing Karen. They could have been a little more generous with the sizes, the face cloth and headband is a huge let down. Not very well curated with filler items 😢
Only 1 full size product, very disappointing. If it was £149 I would have gone for it but it's a no from me ☹️
It’s a pass for me

But wth.... Travel sizes!!!!
So disappointing
Very disappointed with this, the sizes are far too small
Contents are a bit of a let down. Too many fillers and not even Christmassy!
Disappointing. Too many small sizes, and a cloth and headband in their own drawers?!?!?! 😮
