Hey guys! Its so close to the end of Advent Season! I was able to get this one on sale and it came with so many free gifts which was a lot of fun! Let me know what you guys think about this one! Love ya💖
How perfect that Advent is wrapping up during (Western) Easter Week, which means you got us through Christmas, Epiphany, & Lent... Now it's time to party, since technically Easter is the #1 Christian holiday, from a theological perspective. A very happy Easter indeed! (Is my mind full of jokes that might be blasphemous? Yes, but I'm being good!)
@@mskellycarelessit's definitely a racket...plus the labor for that kind of packaging drives up the price but doesn't give the recipient anything extra... The cheap chocolate ones are still dramatically overpriced for the value of the chocolate.
At this point, you could open a calendar with loose sheets of paper in the spaces, and I'll still watch it and be fully enthralled and love every second of it.
I don't normally comment, but I can say the lip balm got my mom through chemo as it can dry out your skin. It was her little luxury. I use one Sisley serum for oily skin and it does really help my the oil control.
Hello Alexandra, FYI keep a small jar with a tight lid of ground coffee on your desk. That way when the perfumes and different fragrances start to bother you. Take a couple of deep calming breaths and inhale the smell of coffee.. Yes it does work. I've done it several times myself.
Yes 🙌 I’m a Scentsy consultant and when I’m selling my products at an event I always bring along a container with coffee grounds for people who are smelling all of my smell goods it 100% works!!! Great suggestion!
This was my grandmother's favorite brand for... everything, apparently. When she died and we cleaned out both bathrooms, we found enough unused "free with purchase" samples to fill a couple big black trash bags! We tried to use as many as possible.
I spent $220 on Glossier last night...getting it shipped from America to New Zealand. This morning, I thought I had lost my mind....you have made me feel so much better, lol
I would never collect perfumes or anything like that, but I’m honestly tempted by some of the tiny bottles. Because tiny things are always adorable and when the brand goes to the effort to make adorable little bottles, I’m kind of into it.
I love Sisley so much! Their skin care is amazing. For me it has amazing results. My friend complimented me on my skin a couple of weeks after I started. I promise I’m not a snobby sea cow!
If you think I'm skipping any part of your video then we need to talk! I would watch you talk about paint drying and be thoroughly entertained! Hope you, your husband and the boys are having a wonderful day!
I love when you do the super fancy calendar because you have the absolute best reactions!! I could never purchase a calendar like this because I suffer from daily migraines but I get to live vicariously through you. I love you, the pups, and your channel. Thank you for the fun videos
My niece cut gluten from her diet for 6 months (she cheated only once in the beginning) and she got rid of her migraines (except the one cheat early on). There are many other things that can be done these days for migraines, so see your doctor. ALSO NOTE: I am not a doctor. Please consult with your regular doctor before starting a new diet.
I have chronic daily migraines too. With that much fragrance I would end up in the ER! But I absolutely love Advent calendar season for the same reason!
I also suffer with migraines 😢 they are pure hell!!! I could feel the perfume pain when she said she just can’t do all the smelling! Ugh we feel ur pain sis
Please never apologize for videos being longer! You are delightful to watch, especially during advent calendar season when you get the wildly expensive products.
Well, the packaging is lovely!😂😂 Seriously, Ally, there's no reason for ANY beauty products to be priced so high. I'm glad you got some freebies along with your purchase !!! It was fun to watch this unboxing, as always! Love you!!❤
I have literally hundreds of small perfume bottles from my days of working in cosmetics when I was young.( I’m 68) now and 99% of them are still full. I have them displayed on an antique shelve with a mirror behind them. We used to get them for free. Now they cost some serious money! My granddaughters can’t wait to own them! 😂 I just love your videos.
One plus to “after advent season” is that it might be warm enough to open the windows to chase out the strong perfume. Also, I LOVE after advent season!
Trigeminal neuralgia ( or TN ) will cause headaches. It's your T1 branch that reaches from your eye up. Unfortunately there can be many triggers to set it of including smells. If you can, try to keep track of what sets your headaches off. It may be your TN and not just a headache. Hope you get relief from the pain. OH, and GREAT video! The box is just beautiful!
My Dentist damaged my V2 trying to deaden my back molar for a bridge. She kept injecting and after like 6 shots it was finally numb. It's been 4 years and ever since my outer bottom lip, lower jaw line to my ear & the entire corner of my mouth is STILL completely numb. I drink and it feels like water is running down my face 😢
I have RSD/CRPS and I thought she may have hit a facial nerve and caused my neuropathy to spread. The pain you are talking about I have in my main Sciatica nerve and it has spread to mid back. I have been on medication since I was 9 & I am 44. I knew people with CRPS in their face but now I think it has been given its own name! I had no idea. Thank you for sharing. I have a spinal cord stimulator, I am getting it removed due to recall this Thursday. Wonder if people with this see any improvement?
As a migraine sufferer I feel you on the perfume thing. When I wear mine I spritz it on the nape of my neck, and it makes my hair smell nice too. I think it’s also why I adore Viva La Juicy so much, it’s not overly strong. I am a fan of the top you’re wearing in this video. Good luck this summer (I hate the heat too 😭)
Personally, I struggle before and on the holiday since my Dad passed. I still very much LOVE these unboxings, and after advent calenders are things I look forward to every year. Dude. I remember all the way back to the ebay mystery boxed, the earring subscription, and back when you received morphe brushes prior to the change to just morphe. What a ride. I've been here forever, and I'm not going anywhere ❤
I've tried some of the Sisley skincare products and it's not the results you're paying for, it's the experience. I won't knock the products, many of them are very nice and high quality, but prescription ingredients or a strong retinal product will have more of an impact on your skin than most of the products in the calendar that focus on natural ingredients. That said, these products are typically much more aesthetically pleasing (scent, texture, compatibility with makeup, potentially even blurring effects) than the more skin transforming alternatives. The brand is also very good with scents and makeup, with the makeup being some of the best you can purchase, though there is only a product or two I will personally ever repurchase given the price points.
Yes Alexandria, you indeed got an $80 mascara and a $100 lip balm. I am shaking my head right along with you on this one. I will stick to my elf skincare and cosmetics thank you very much. Honestly I think they make this stuff stupid expensive because people with tons of money wouldn’t use the $7 elf mascara just because it’s $7. It’s like oh she has gobs and gobs of money but buys her makeup in target! The rich sneer at anything the rest of us buy.
Thanks, Alexandria. It is so much fun to watch you open a high end Advent calendar. I love seeing your astonishment at the extreme prices. Your curiosity as you open and sniff things is so heartwarming and wholesome.
You are the best! I get so excited when I see there’s another video from you❣️ This was a doozy for sure. Great freebies but the prices for those squeezie tubes are outrageous 😮 I’m with you in thinking there ain’t no way skincare needs to be that expensive. Please don’t stop the Advent Calendars. We love them so much and your reactions are priceless 😊 You make my day Alexandria ❤
You could do an after advent roundup grwm with the boujiest makeup from these calendars! 100 lip balm & 80 mascara, lets see what you got for the between steps!! Could be fun!?!
I watch your videos not for what ur opening but for your reaction to the items!!! “Is this an $80 mascara I’m holding in my phalanges!!!” Ur reaction is PRICELESS!!!!
It’s always great to see you & the boys, I enjoy y’all so much! I hope things are going better for you. I can’t believe it’s Spring already, time sure flies! Stay safe! Sending prayers, love & hugs!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🐾🐾❤️
I love this! Trying these products will be so fun! Pour a glass of wine and have a self care night! 😊 Let us know how they work! You’re my favorite, and when you post a video it makes my day!
Sisley products are soooooo amazing. The rose mask cleared my face problems within half a month. The anti aging line is amazing as well. That lip bomb is top tier
I have literally just started watching so can't comment on what it's like but I actually think that this is the perfect time to do advent reviews! So long as it's ones that are still available as if we like them, we could get them but then forget exactly what's in it by December! 😊
How about a "count down to summer" calendar, and then ones leading up to fall, and spooky season.... I got a Supernatural themed one from Notoriously Morbid!
That Tom Ford Ombre Leather is an amazing cologne! I get samples of it whenever I can for my husband. It smells so nice and not at all obnoxious like some cologne can be. You definitely have to get your husband to try it.
I could never and would never buy these things for myself so I absolutely love watching you open calendars and boxes! Because you react in much the same way I would, including the pure shock at the cost of these ridiculous high end brands! 😂
I wouldn't buy the calendar because if I found things that I really liked there is no way I could justify buying skin care items for $300.00 to$500.00 dollars. I love watching you unbox them😊
This was definitely a very interesting advent calendar. I’ve never even thought about using any of those products. I’m too cheap to even know any of those product until your video. Thank you so much for showing us this. Yay after advent calendar season. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Girl! You are almost at 500,000 subscribers!! I've been with you since the beginning! You're one of my favorite creators! Congratulations!! So proud of you! 🎉🖤 🎉
This was so fun for me to watch! I did an unboxing for this on my channel! I wasn't familiar with the Sisley Paris brand and have been really enjoying all of the products. The lip balm is literally the best one I've ever tried! Love your channel!
Maybe you could make some videos about testing out some of the luxury items in the few months before advent calendar season starts up again. I would love to see that!
Hey guys! Its so close to the end of Advent Season! I was able to get this one on sale and it came with so many free gifts which was a lot of fun! Let me know what you guys think about this one! Love ya💖
I can't believe how expensive advent calendars are!!! I haven't seen one that I would part money for, this one especially.
We would watch these all year if we could.😊

Crazy expensive! Have fun with it!!

I came here to say Saaaame😂
I absolutely feel the same!!!!
You guys saw the Channel advent didn't ya? 😂
Absolutely 😂❤
@@ShellyS2060 Burn! 😂
“This smells like…prosperity” 😂😂 seems accurate
I long to smell like prosperity lol 😆
I love how they made the boxes reversible without out the number on the other side. Makes it way more reusable.
I was thinking the same thing! You could use it for a lot of things, and it would look really cute.
Those prices are wild. On the other hand - those free gift samples were basically the entire contents of several other seasonal offerings we’ve seen!
I don't normally comment, but I can say the lip balm got my mom through chemo as it can dry out your skin. It was her little luxury. I use one Sisley serum for oily skin and it does really help my the oil control.

You absolutely made my day with, "Is this an $80 mascara I'm holding in my phalanges?". ( not sure of the spell). 😂😂😂😂😂
This was my grandmother's favorite brand for... everything, apparently. When she died and we cleaned out both bathrooms, we found enough unused "free with purchase" samples to fill a couple big black trash bags! We tried to use as many as possible.
Alexandria could be the richest woman in the world and she would still freak out at this expensive stuff. I love her!
I spent $220 on Glossier last night...getting it shipped from America to New Zealand. This morning, I thought I had lost my mind....you have made me feel so much better, lol
You should get a little cabinet to display all them cute little perfume samples you get! Or like a tray and display them.
One of those things that hold shot glasses would probably work nicely to display the tiny perfume samples
That would for sure work as well!@@StLsalsagirl
I would never collect perfumes or anything like that, but I’m honestly tempted by some of the tiny bottles. Because tiny things are always adorable and when the brand goes to the effort to make adorable little bottles, I’m kind of into it.
When the free gift is better than most actual advent calendars.
I vote for all year round advent calendars lol
I kinda felt sad when she said there's only a couple left! 😢😂
Idk.. I like her other videos too. She needs a break from these for awhile.
Oh I didn't mean only advent calendars maybe like once a month or something I love her others also
Hell yes 🙌 me too!!!!
@@kittykat8110 both though!
Pretty sure I can speak for all of us we didn’t mind seeing you open the freebies too 😊
I agree! I couldn't imagine paying $80 for mascara!!! I don't even like paying $15-20 for mascara 🙄🤦 make sure you update us on that after you open it
I'm still trying to get over the $10.00 heart attack.🤣
I love Sisley so much! Their skin care is amazing. For me it has amazing results. My friend complimented me on my skin a couple of weeks after I started. I promise I’m not a snobby sea cow!
😂😂😂😂😂
Do you have to take out a second mortgage with every order? 😂
Three or four maybe and the college fund but it’s lovely!
😂👏👌
What do you use???
If you think I'm skipping any part of your video then we need to talk! I would watch you talk about paint drying and be thoroughly entertained! Hope you, your husband and the boys are having a wonderful day!

@@jmarshal Same to you!

🤩"Substantial Golden Crinkles, NICE " 🎉 😂

It was fun to watch this unboxing, as always!
Love you!!❤
You will love their lipstick. Very moisturizing and sheer.
We all want to be Judith some day😂😂
I think this is the only calendar where we can’t get mad at the small size items, especially when they cost 50 to 100 dollars.
LVs half assed attempt to make things right really summarizes their care for their customers well
Is there LV drama? I have enough to last me but I am down for the drama!
I have literally hundreds of small perfume bottles from my days of working in cosmetics when I was young.( I’m 68) now and 99% of them are still full.

Same here! I totally forgot about the earrings unboxing! Just love her to pieces!
I love her tee! Also she makes the bun look so clean and effortless 😭🤌 love her
You are adorable! If I'm having an off day...watching you is just what I need to perk back up. Thanks for being you!
Sisley makes my favorite fragrance! Eau du campagne I love the tomato leaf smell.
I love the expensive ones just for when you tell us the prices, and it didn't seem like it was a longer video ❤
Girl even if Advent Season is year round I'd still watch every single one ❤

What are those products?
Nooooo, say it's not so, "1or 2 more advent calendars and then we're wrapping up the season"! You can't take the joy away from us!
I'm a simple girl, i see Alexandria gasping and I click
Totally laughed with your reaction to the adult party bags! 😂😂😂
Yes Alexandria, you indeed got an $80 mascara and a $100 lip balm. I am shaking my head right along with you on this one. I will stick to my elf skincare and cosmetics thank you very much.

TH-cam needs to make a laughing button because I would be hitting it a lot on these advent calendar unboxings lol
Your videos always put me in a better mood... it's like you knew we all needed your wonderful self today!! Thank you for being you, Allie
Thanks, Alexandria. It is so much fun to watch you open a high end Advent calendar. I love seeing your astonishment at the extreme prices. Your curiosity as you open and sniff things is so heartwarming and wholesome.
I love the long videos you make. They are the best kind!
You should do a best/worst calendars or best/worst items you received in calendars this year to wrap up the season!
Yes! I want to see a ranking chart! Best and Worst! Grand Supreme winning calendar and The Rotten Egg. Please, Ally!! 🙏🙏
So excited for another advent calendar unboxing!
I don't know what it is with you and these advent calendars but you have me hooked.
You make me happy. Lol love your reactions. And Dahling you look marvellous
Advent just last until Holy Week!!!! I love it!!!!
Thanks for the brief glimpse into how the 3% live. Wow! Crazy expensive!

I'm so excited about those samples 😍
I am truly enjoying this series! Thank you for keeping it going! 😀
Wow, just wow!! That's an expensive line! Enjoy every last drop and squeezie bottle!!!❤❤🎉
I want the 12 months of advent 😂
"Substantial golden crinkles!" 😂😂 wondering what the feel/quality/look was of the hair and wrist bands?
Hiii Alexandria 💖 Hope all is well you and the boys! ❤️
I had a bad day and your reactions and channel on this calendar was priceless
Take your time on the free gifts, I love seeing them!
Yay 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I get so excited seein your post notifications 😍😍🤭
This is the funniest you've ever been, you literally made me laugh out loud when you said you aspire to be Judith one day🤣🤣🤣
I love the dedication to the Christmas music lmao
That Tom Ford Ombre Leather is an amazing cologne! I get samples of it whenever I can for my husband. It smells so nice and not at all obnoxious like some cologne can be. You definitely have to get your husband to try it.
Fun calendar with a hefty price tag. The products I have tried in samples from the brand are really nice.
Love free gift 🎁 with purchase. This should be part of your purchase decision making. Love the extra
I could never and would never buy these things for myself so I absolutely love watching you open calendars and boxes! Because you react in much the same way I would, including the pure shock at the cost of these ridiculous high end brands! 😂
HUBERT IS STRONG!!, IM DYING😂
Girl whenever you mention using dial bar soap my soul dies a little bit 😂❤
I just like the squeaky clean feeling 😂😂
I love all your advent calendar videos. The longer the better!! 😂😂
I would love to have all those perfume samples!!
I wouldn't buy the calendar because if I found things that I really liked there is no way I could justify buying skin care items for $300.00 to$500.00 dollars. I love watching you unbox them😊

Girl! You are almost at 500,000 subscribers!! I've been with you since the beginning! You're one of my favorite creators! Congratulations!! So proud of you! 🎉🖤 🎉
It's more along the lines of "oo-BEAR" (Hubert). 🥰
This was so fun for me to watch! I did an unboxing for this on my channel! I wasn't familiar with the Sisley Paris brand and have been really enjoying all of the products. The lip balm is literally the best one I've ever tried! Love your channel!
Maybe you could make some videos about testing out some of the luxury items in the few months before advent calendar season starts up again. I would love to see that!
I can watch these all year long
This one was pretty great considering all the freebies too 😊
I am so sad to see advent calendar season end!! It is always my favorite ❤❤❤
Love advent season. Keep it going. This one was outrageously expensive.
