![[UNCUT] ย้อนฟัง 2 บิ๊กตำรวจปะทะกัน "บิ๊กโจ๊ก VS รองแต้ม" ฟ้องเรียก 10 ล้าน!! I คนดังนั่งเคลียร์](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vNpTtVjdcBo/mqdefault.jpg)
Hey guys! So here it is! I have never had more requests to unbox something in my LIFE! This is without a doubt the WORST calendar that has ever existed. SO sorry about the length of the intro and the content before the firs day but I think I was just nervous to get started lol I added chapters to help! Let me know what you guys think of this calendar! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Wonderful new year! Love ya💖
I'm going to watch the ads. I'm so sorry for your wallet but so happy I get to see this disaster
I think they started on 5 bc it's #5 so an attempt on a play on numbers and words
@@annasunn8900 yes, I just came here to say that.
It starts with 5 as an homage to the No. 5 perfume.
Too many comments to read them all and check if anyone pointed this out. "The advent calendar was launched in honour of the 100th anniversary of the brand's iconic Chanel No. 5 fragrance. Packaged in the shape of the perfume bottle, the box also begins with day 5 and ends with day 31 to commemorate the occasion." Yes this is the worst advent calendar by far just because they charged so much for the tat inside it.
This is the gift that the billionaire “working father” gives to his 9 year old daughter as an apology for missing her nutcracker recital.
This is the winning description for this calendar.
This is so ridiculously on point damn
and she kicks him in the shin and tells Mommy where he actually was, during said nutcracker.
LOLOL thanks for the good laugh.
This is equivalent to the time my father gave me an unwrapped candle and some change... He took the change and burned the candle when I wasnt there
This advent calendar is the embodiment of that one person at the Christmas Party who believes that just their presence is the gift
haha so well said!
Oh man 😂
I am laughing so hard!
OmGod! That’s exactly what it is 😂
Very well said.
Chanel, Dior, these used to be names I associated with luxury and quality. To see the disrespect they show to their customers is shocking.
😂 they don't care about middle class at all
@@rina.2832 I don't believe the middle class is their target customer.
That was then, this is now. But when it's the end of the show shit happens.
Girl, for $1.5k you could’ve bought about 30 real makeup items from the CHANEL counter😅😅😅
Sephora: we have a terrible advent calendar.
Chanel: hold my champagne.
Hold my empty dust bag
😂😂😂
🤣🤣
Best comment ever 😂
Oh my goodness best comment ever lol yep
My mom just bought Chanel no5 and some of the items in this calendar were actually given to her as a freebie 😂 Chanel what are u doing? I think they’re just cleaning their inventory
EXACTLY what they were doing! 😒😂
Exactly 😢
Inventory?! "We NEED to finally unload these stickers, but how?"
Chanel:💡
Wow !
That's why advent calendars were created for
THE EMPTY BAG!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The empty bag with Chanel no.5 written on it! That is a rip off to the highest level.
This calendar cost them max $15 to produce. Imagine the profit they are making.
Most of the items are just garbage which they normally put in your bag for free with purchase.
Who needs stickers? Are they targeting 10 year olds with this calendar?
IMAGINE the product launch boxes they srnd to influencer FOR FREE in wooden boxes, full size entire collections - FREE. Their DEDICATED, LOYAL, UBER DIE HARD CUSTOMERS paid between $890-$1025 for this and THIS is what they got.
The bad part is, todays ten year olds want drunk elephant and retinol. not Chanel stickers.
This is an advent calendar for very wealthy little girl. My daughter was like “ at least she got a couple of bottles of perfume for her Barbie”. She also liked the stickers 😆
Haha they would be perfect Barbie perfume!
I'm just imagining all the Kardashian kids getting these lol
Yes! I just said to my husband that it would be something a wealthy parent gives to their kid because they know their mom uses Chanel products. Chanel has lost touch with reality 🙄
It’s actually meant for the middle class who can’t afford the typical merchandise from Chanel. It’s an insult, really. The child of wealthy family gets an actual bag they’ll never use.
@@TheMelncholyglamour oof 😓
What makes this even more ridiculous is that this advent calendar was Chanel celebrating 100 years 😂 looks like they were like "we've been around 100 years, time to clean out that old sample drawer"
🤣👏Omg yes, that's exactly what they did🤣👏
hilarious :)))
100%
I think you nailed it on the head xD
This is like Chanel is saying to its clients: "You are so stupid, you will buy a box full of samples for nearly a monthly income...You are losers..."
For me they are making a fool of their fans and clients...! 🤬🤬
Monthly income? True Chanel fans have more than that for their monthly income
This calendar is for rich absent parents to give to their tween daughters. That bracelet and planner bookmark magnet are probably the hottest accessory in bougie private middle schools 🤣
You’re so right
Bougie means candle 😂 candle school? What does that mean?
Wait, are you serious? You don’t know what bougie means?
In very simple terms it means fancy (for the middle class, expensive), if you want the full definition I suggest you Google it, but it’s something like that. 😅
I pray you make over $1500 on adsense/merch sales on this video because GIRL. You need to get your money back somehow!
I second that xx
Me, letting all the ads play to get her that revenue 😂
I'm sure she writes them off
I’m definitely watching the ads all the way through to help her out.
But she only paid $800 for it.
I bought each of my daughters a $15 Gudetama sock advent calendar with twelve days. Each day has an entire pair of socks. I feel like they could teach Chanel something.
Uuuuh I love socks, a sock calender is so fun. Definitely better than all this chanel crap.
I'd love to get a sock calender! I had no idea there was such a thing!
I would never lol
Please tell me they were fussy socks it would be a nice gifts
@@NatashaDawn82 target usually has nice ones :)
So, the House of Chanel issued a statement regarding the backlash over the calendar.
“We are aware of the comments that are currently visible under our publications and are sorry that this calendar may have disappointed some people.
Directly inspired by the mythical silhouette of the No.5 bottle, this calendar, only available for a short period, has a unique design and an original content, which makes it a true collector’s item whose value cannot be summed up by the products it contains alone,” Chanel said.
Pavlovsky said a special effort had been made to use more sustainable materials. “I think it is one of the most beautiful ever made, both in terms of design and the materials used,” he said of the calendar, which even Harmon praised for its sophisticated packaging.
"Certainly, next time, we will think of another way to do this type of thing. I think that certain categories of products may be more suitable, in particular beauty - that could be a great idea. In any case, the objective is to promote our products and not to trigger any controversy, and even less to create frustrations or to send the wrong signals,” he said."
I don't think they actually get what the problem is.
I don't know much about French high fashion brands, but this statement fit perfectly with my perception of them. They probably think the stickers are worth $70 a piece just because they have a Chanel logo on them.
@@ellenkarlsson9490 probably
That was such a tone deaf statement, Chanel didn't listen to ANYBODY! 😒💯
Why are they making it about the design, when the issue is more the contents
You know what this is gonna sound funny lol but that statement reminds me of the movie reel steel in that part where Zeus gets beat by Adam and Farah makes a statement on how Zeus is still the winner.... Most won't get my reference but my ADHD kind just took me there and now I'm cackling
Someone probably bought this Advent calendar for the regular price of $830 and once they seen the contents inside they immediately said nope. Shut the box, taped it back and then sold it for double on eBay to Alexandria Ryan 😂
The person probably kept the lotion that was missing 😂
Completely agree, they were the smart one
The IKEA advent calendar gives you chocolate, a $5 coupon and a coupon for free meatballs! So much better than Chanel’s! 😂
🤣😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Chanel advent calendar is the ultimate emperor's new clothes mess.
Why don‘t we get the meatballs coupon in German Ikea? 😢still better value though
if i had even 1% of the confidence that chanel has in their brand i could have achieved world domination by now.
If Chanel came out with a brand of "luxury" toilet paper, it would be basic two ply, over scented, and $80 a roll.
@@jenerin905 dont give them any ideas 🤣
hi sorry for replying to a 2 year comment but if you see this, could you tell me where the artwork of your icon is from or the artist specifically? it's so pretty 😭❤️
@@malka1762 oh i'm the artist actually...
The most disappointing one I have seen this year was the $1,200 Swarovski Disney calendar. It was appalling. I watched an unboxing on Cherry's channel and it was so bad, she sent it back to get a refundm
I mean at least that one was all Swarovski pieces (even if they had misprints and repetitive), this is half of just crappy stickers, just wow
I thought the dior one was the most disappointing one but chanel just set a bar so low that even mariana trench is ashamed of itself :))
The pandemic must've hit Chanel harder than anyone could have guessed... why else would they have had to source their advent calendar items from Wish/AliExpress?
LEGIT was thinking that I could get that whole calendar on aliexpress 💀💀
Wish has better quality items than this junk!
greedy
I am CRYING over this. This is why I just don’t support huge expensive brands like this because they do things like THIS. Even for a “collector”, these are horrible items and horrible is an understatement???? Omg
I wouldn’t want to be given this pile of crap!
It should have been free or maybe $50 bucks with purchase and even that is being generous as we know channel probably doesn’t do free
@@Rubester-cl6op The worst is, they do. I watched Chanel's ex-employee reviews of this and she said that 80% of items is either what she got as an employee or free gifts for the customers.
@@artmaks9363 Where can I find that review?
Exactly.
I respect you doing these calendar videos. I worked for $6.25 an hour as a teen and always dreamt of buying them. I almost did many times. You're helping us not get ripped off, and you're making good videos.
Sometimes when I’m having a rough day, I come here and remind myself it could be worse 😂😂
The fact that Chanel gets away with selling a $800 calendar of crap. Next year I’m selling a 12 day calendar where each day is a copy of my student loan bill for a month.
At least that money would be going to a good cause 😂
🤣🤣🤣
LOL 😂
This is the best idea ever!
😂😂😂😂😂
The fact a WHOLE team of people at the Chanel headquarters sat down to came up with it and APPROVED it blows my mind
Doesn't surprise me at all, tbh. Extremely wealthy companies like to scam people and sell cheap products for a horrendous price
They were laughing the whole time knowing that there are Chanel fans who would fall for it. Let’s face it …they sold out of those “exclusive “ advent calendar’s.
@@greatsmiles yeah but it's weird... I study marketing/PR so I know theres a whole different team of people behind every single small decision a company makes, so if tens of people were like "haha okay this is acceptable", that speaks volumes on what they think about their costumers.. sad
Leena Nair made a final decision. She is CEO. This sh!!!t was approved by her.
That bottle of Chanel #5 looked like a dollhouse miniature. I could set it up in my Barbie's hands and it would be to scale. That's truly incredible 😂
That “advent calendar” is a real insult. I DO NOT miss these so called “luxury” crap at all.
Thank you for doing this video! You earned yourself a new subscriber!
Chanel snatched that crown for worst advent calendar EVER from Sephora/QVC and told them to swerve out the way. Laughing so hard- this is mostly stickers, dollar store ornaments/trinkets, and tween friendship bracelets for $800+
Would you prefer a single fake wax seal or a single multivitamin 🤔
@@friendlyneighborhoodcrypti9294 At least the single multivitamin is good for health lol 😂 I guess
Sephora may be bad but at least it's like 45$
please don't insult dollar store ornaments/trinkets, they didn't do nothing to you!
But it's a collector's item! I lolololol'ed so hard when I first saw this unboxed a few weeks ago. I can't believe someone at Chanel actually thought this would be a good idea.
To the people who say Alexandria should review as a collector, WE the people do not want a fake Alexandria. We want raw and uncut. She is saving us ALOT of money and tears on these calendars. Keep doing you Alex! 🥰🥰
Even collectors hated it.
Agree we wouldn’t enjoy fake
Not that Alexandria should have actally done this review differently at all, and I liked her comment that even as a collector's item this is a scam, but I really needed to say that viewing something from a different perspective isn't being fake and it's really wrong to say that it is. Being able to view things from different perspectives is valuable and important, and an intrinsic part of kindness, empathy and fairmindedness. It is not being fake.
@@_moonfall_ it's one thing to understand and maybe briefly voice an opposing opinion to your own. It's totally different to imply she should have done the video from a perspective that wasn't her own, as if it was. That absolutely would be being fake.
@@ruminationstation4200 I think you're misunderstanding the concept of viewing from a different perspective. If I was to rate a well-made steak as how good a steak it is, I might be very impressed and give it 10/10. If I was to rate it as a vegetarian meal I'd give it negative points and be horrified. It's the same steak, and neither evaluation is me not being me, or lying, or being fake.
@@_moonfall_ I'm still not sure if we're all on the same page here. It'd be fake if you were trying to pretend to be a Steak Critic or someone who travels around to sample the steaks of the world. That's the closest I can conceive of a "steak collector". So to try and see it from a collector's perspective when you don't really know what that'd look like, it might come off as fake. Does that make sense at all? It's kinda hard to aptly describe.
7 months later, this video is still gold 😂
Worst advent calendar ever? Yes. Best advent calendar review ever? Also yes.
This advent calendar is the physical representation of when you tell your aunt or grandma that you like frogs, like, just in passing, and not really all that much, and then receive frog-themed presents EVERY YEAR after that.
I would be 1000 times more okay with that than this calendar
I love frogs, I would be okay with that 😭
That happened with my Granma and I, she would always still get me random butterflies and unicorns. I’m 30 and still am obsessed with both. But I wouldn’t pay $800 for it 😆
Oohhh...that happened to me🤣😭
bwahahaha
The stuff in this calendar should have gone into a calendar that was offered as a freebie for your kids with the purchase of their $800 calendar.
After you and so many people mentioned this in the comments of your Kylie advent unboxing, I just had to find this video and watch. Wow, that box is ridiculous all around! Also, I’m guessing it started at 5 because of Chanel No 5. I’m assuming it was their cutesy/gimmicky way of staying on theme.
The white perfume bottle "l'eau" is actually not a perfume but a much lower concentration of the actual perfume, like the one you find in mists.
I do really want to know how many people used the wax seal to write a strongly worded letter to Chanel. They should issue a formal apology.
The way they lazily stacked the boxes on top of each other knowing it would all fall out. So many companies don't give a fuck anymore about customers and they are going to feel it soon. Make-up and care were amazing for a couple of years. Like between 2007 and 2018, make-up was amazing. But it's getting really boring now with all their weird products and ripoffs, smelly shit and weird colors. I can't even find a regular pink lipstick anymore. The cosmetics sector is probably shrinking. The only reason why the big brands like Dior and Estee Lauder have still increasing market value is because they buy all the other brands.
Instead they ran and hide and deleted their Instagram xD
They have it back up now but there is nothing about the advent calendar on it.
I would write a letter to them and then use real sealing wax and a seal stamp thing on the letter. Just to show them how its done.
(I actually do own both of those things and no I don't know what the metal stamper is actually called.)
They should issue refunds. What a complete rip-off.
😂😂😂💯
I did some quick research & math (btw, Chanel's website is shite) and came up with about $222 worth of actual product. Chanel should be absolutely ashamed of themselves and we should all boycott them.
Idk if my boycotting would count since I don’t buy their stuff to begin with, but sounds fair to me!
I am absolutely boycotting them. My mom loves their fragrances, and I always get her a bottle for her birthday and Christmas, but after this garbage of an advent calendar, I will never spend another dollar on them again. As a collector of designer handbags, I will avoid Chanel like the plague. They should be ashamed of themselves.
I've been boycotting them my whole life. Glad my mum told my sister there's no way in hell she's getting a Chanel bag for Christmas
Never getting a dime from me again
Oh, NOW you boycott them. Ya'll were willing to overlook 'Nazi Collaborator', but an overpriced advent calendar is too far?
You know that second-hand embarrassment you feel when you see someone doing something incredibly embarrassing? I'm feeling SUPER embarrassed for Chanel rn... 👀
“they’re giving me enough linguine to feed all of italy” I DIED 😂
Y’all I looked everything up and did the math.
I had to know!
Nail polish- $28
Lipstick- $40
Lipstick- $45
1.2oz Parfum- $82
Hand cream- $55
Bar of soap (which looks bigger online)- $26
Body cream (which is considerably bigger online)- $40 cutting the price in half
For a grand total of $316….
Soooooo $509 in stickers, “jewelry”, book crap and other crap.
I had to know 😂 I hope someone was as curious as me 😂
Literally could’ve bought all the products in here for full size and spend the exact same amount that the calendar was sold for
Wow (directed to Chanel alone) :-(
The only thing Chanel can do to redeem them selves is to give everyone a refund, apologise and fire everyone who approved this abomination.
Better off having a $5 chocolate advent calendar, less disappointment.
They already said they didn't care. Chanel doesn't care
💯💯💯
They listed the contents on the page so they are untouchable by the courts. If you go look it up the contents are listed right there
@@lauraromdeussen864 yup! And they KNOW 100% people WILL buy this anyways… hahahahaa
The chocolate one from Trader Joe's was only $1 and my son has been very happy with it!
This makes the Sephora advent calendar seem fantastic.
This has become one of my go-to funny videos to watch. I love your unscripted comedy roast of Chanel! Keep it up! 😂😂
I assume the creative geniuses at Chanel were going for "our brand is so prestige, we'll make some unique items that only come in this calendar and it'll be so collectible and cool", and instead ended up creating an elaborate middle finger to their actual clientele. Let's say you spent $10,000 on a Chanel purse. You know those have been arbitrarily going up in price every year way beyond inflation, thereby fuelling the "this bag is an investment" mentality. Now you see they have no problem telling you that a bunch of low quality junk and product minis are worth $800. This is just the magnum opus of "we're charging this much because we can, you stupid customer"
Yep. Which infuriates me to the point where I want to boycott them forever!
@@susanmenn5016 Sane here. Im mad for Alexandria. I didnt waste my money and im ready to email them.
That's exactly what they said to the backlash. Chanel doesn't care
If I were to have purchased this, I would be going all Karen on their butts!!!😂
Precisely. They're so disconnected from reality that this honestly seemed like good value for $800. They're used to a disturbingly inflated markup, so they probably think the stickers are worth over $20 each 🙄
I know what Chanel put into that 'empty' bag: THEIR AUDACITY! What in the universe possessed them to do this to their loyal customers?
You’re absolutely right! It was packed full of AUDACITY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Imma just getting stickers with my name on it, just so I can stick it on bad gifts and make them feel so guilty that they say thank you 😆
Their audacity could not fit in that tiny bag
Has anyone thought that maybe by purchasing this on eBay, it was likely for “something” to come empty??!! This calendar is a terrible from any point of view. Even to make this video it seems a bad idea 😂
Nah, the empty bag is for the stickers.
I just added the actual products to my cart at Chanel and the total was $616. And that’s for full-size and travel size too
What about that huge white "Chanel bottle" it came in, and all the little boxes...
the prison mirror has me rolling lolllll followed by the tension headache and a puffy sticker omg
I've said it before about this calendar, and I'll say it again. This is a physical representation of the dystopia we now live in, where people work hard and spend a stupid amount of money expecting just a tiny bit of something nice.... and our corporate overlords laugh in our face, then lick their thumbs and go back to counting their billions of dollars.
Exactly!!! This calendar is not meant for their typical buyer-it’s for the middle class and lower who think they’re paying for something nice. But it’s just a slap in the face. We the majority need to stop giving these companies our money and invest in quality companies and merchandise.
Mim Claire, I couldn’t have said it better myself!
@@TheMelncholyglamour for half the price you could just buy a jimmy choo advent calendar and have it be worth your money💯🌈💃 -Mercy(sorry for the name confusion I am on my dad's phone at the moment)
@@TheMelncholyglamour I'm not sure I can agree. I would never spend my money on something like this or an advent calendar in general, because it is a cat in a bag - I don't know what I am getting. When I do spend my money for the "luxury" brand items, it is for a perfume because I have found them to be worth the price unlike literally anything else (bags, clothes, shoes etc.). Maybe I am really set in my ways, but I find it hard to believe someone would spend money on these advent calendars for the items (not for TH-cam videos and so on, but actually because they wanted the calendar).
@@eggnukes There is people out there who do believe that they have the high end luxury stuff to feel like they fit in or get somewhere…it’s bad because it could represent their small self esteem of themselves. We all here understand and know that the prices are just for the name and at-least you spend it on something that will be used.
I dont know who I'm more mad at ? Chanel for making it or the person on ebay who re sold it for 1,500. They made 700 dollars off of you girl. This whole thing was insane.
The person who got it first actually wanted to resell it for THOSE 700$! EXTRA .....DUH!...VERY SMART !
I mean she probably made 180,000’off this video sooooooooooo
@@Blahblahblah769 your pressed about something that was 8 months ago which I find funny lol 😂
@@michaelasstartingover4932 yes I’m so “pressed”. Seriously? Not everyone has all day everyday to watch videos the day they come out 😂😂😂
@@Blahblahblah769 you clearly don't know how monetization works
If I ever got this advent calendar for free, I don’t even want it 😂
i have been watching isnce you only had a few thousand peeps..... im so glad you are still here and going strong
I think Chanel was trying to keep with the "5" theme by starting off the calendar on day 5, but it just doesn't work and I think that back-fired on them because it makes the calendar so confusing at first.
I was waiting for someone to comment on this because I couldn’t understand why they’d do that. At least that makes some sense
Yes, I kept waiting for her to figure it out every time she said “number 5” with the first box.
Apparently the number 5 was Coco Chanel’s favorite and lucky number. Hence the Number •5 perfume and general…theme.
@@average13 Yeah I was hoping she would figure it out but she never did.
Ohhhhhhh I get it now!!
I just found this supposed response from Chanel about the calendar-
“This controversy is a bit of a shame because it was not what Chanel intended. Chanel thought it would please some of its customers by offering this type of product. Evidently, we see that you have to be careful and therefore, in future, we will certainly be much more cautious,” Pavlovsky told WWD on Monday.
This is 100% saying "UGH, I didn't know we actually had to put effort, we're Chanel??? like duh we're good at everything-"
“Directly inspired by the mythical silhouette of the No.5 bottle, this calendar, only available for a short period, has a unique design and an original content, which makes it a true collector’s item whose value cannot be summed up by the products it contains alone,” Chanel said.
BRUH, they really said buy our limited edition garbage
Omg! For real? They’ve got ⚽️s the size of Texas with that response too! They oughta be ashamed of themselves, and send anyone who bought this piece of crap something nice!
"Not what they intended"? Did they mean all the boxes to be empty? They made this!! Sheesh, when Ulta did it better. Hell, Friskies did it better.
@@bcgrote not friskies 😂😭
“Oh we thought you liked advent calendars. I guess you don’t.”
Omg i really love how you talk and gesticulate, love your energy 🔥🔥🔥
The only thing I buy from Chanel is their red lipstick. Well, not anymore.
Everytime I'd find myself in front of a Chanel product, I will be remember their advent calendar.
Same, also accepting recomendations for blue red sold by literally anyone else
@@artmaks9363 - Juvia’s Place makes the most beautiful blue-red lipstick. Their formula is also amazing and truly affordable. It’s a black, female owned business as well 🙂
L'Oreal did a blue red called Blake's Red, from their signature collection. A stunning affordable cool deep red.
@@artmaks9363 I really like Armani in #400. It's pricey but I think the price reflects the quality.
Me too!!! It really shows how cheap they are, and what their products probably cost to make. I'm actually angry and I didn't even buy it. 😡
I had heard this was was bad, but I was not prepared at all! They could have put half those items behind one door, and it still would have been a disappointment. It was strange that Chanel wants to be associated with something so cheap. Usually the "you're paying for the name" quip is a tad tongue in cheek. Like, luxury brands do charge a premium just for that label, but the label is supposed to have an association with quality. Putting the name on cheap nonsense doesn't elevate the nonsense, it just cheapens the name
Not only they be fired but thier kids and grandkids should be banned at birth for ever working at Chanel. lol. This was horrible
Brilliant commentary. 👏🏻🙌🏻
If a dollar store made a advent calendar with a variety of random dollar items it would probably be way better than this
@@Rubester-cl6op it would
@@melindamartinez6463 all should be banned, cause it was that bad
YOU are adorable! I really enjoyed watching this! Thank you. Great meeting you Alexandria!
I'll freely admit it, when you said the price I screamed it out loud, so loud that my room mate shouted from the living room "What the fudge did you purchase for that?!".
Now we are both watching the video with horrified curiosity.
(You are great, of course, no judgment towards you, all judgment for Chanel)
Chanel: Look we gave a cheap ornament, bottle, bracelet, magnet AND STICKERS TADA
Sephora: We're a 4 out of 10 now.
The ULTA beauty calendar was better and Neiman Marcus one was better.
you forgot the empty bag 😛
I literally choked on my coffee at $800
.....but $1500?!? Oh sweetie, you were so badly ripped off. I'm pretty sure we cried for you.
I think the doors start at 5, because of it being Chanel number 5.
I was guessing the same logic!
I'm still stunned at what she PAID, as well as Chanel's price!!! 😱
😂😂😂😂😂😂 is that why? Ha
It’s worth it for her- (1) It’s a business expense in terms of taxes and (2) She makes up the money with the views it brings in. Not at all judging her- I LOVE this channel, just explaining why it makes sense for her.
I think she should have said "5" like the Count from Sesame Street because at least then there'd be some joy in this! 😭😭
Girl your makeup is everything 😮
omg i’m so glad you’re back on my feed i used to watch your videos all the time !! hope you’re well and i’m excited to see calendars for this year ^_^
I feel like this is equivalent to when Gwyneth Paltrow went shopping with food stamps to try and live like “the less fortunate” and was complaining about how little they can get because she spent her entire budget on limes and avocados. 😂🤣 They’re just THAT out of touch with reality that they really didn’t think about it at all.
Never knew that happened but that is damn hilarious 😂
I'm dead 🤣 ugh Gwyneth
For that price, they should have definitely put in a full size Chanel No. 5 perfume since it’s their signature. Unbelievable. By the way, that’s why they started with Day 5.
I’m so disgusted that they absolutely ripped off their customers. I feel like getting a torch and a pitchfork.
Edit: finally made it to day 25. I’m still mad though. Doesn’t make up for the rest! 😅😡
Ahh, the reason for day 5.. I see.
Lame... But, I get it now
Thank you for explaining the date thing!! I was so confused
OOOOHHHHHHH I never would have figured that out
25:39 They did put a full bottle in. Didn’t you watch the video?
How the hell does this add up to $800? Even with the full size perfume that’s not even close! I’m baffled!
I watched a collocter unbox this and she was so excited. It blew my mind!!!
Every time I see this video, I laugh until I cry. Thank you for spending the money!
This really made me think they took all the "free with purchase" items that were made for 2020 (and no one was shopping in stores) and shoved them into an advent calendar to do something with them.
THIS! You're absolutely correct. Chanel isn't the only one to do this, too. It's awful.
A lot of the products remind of the junk that companies put on tables at like, advertising conventions. Like pens and coasters and stickers with their logo on it for people to pick up as they walk past. Some of these things seem like the Chanel version of that.
Yes!!!!
It really has those vibes doesn't it? If the calender had been less money - around the retail value of the actual beauty items inside - and all the other shit was just 'filler', it would be 'meh', but we're talking what, $300 at best? If they'd charged 300 for that calender it would be a whole order of magnitude less offensive. And to really make matters worse, they're doubling down and basically blocking or ignoring anyone who criticises the thing. I mean the level of entitlement here is astonishing! If someone isn't fired for this fiasco I'll be surprised.
This calendar was basically a “let’s make something awful and see if people buy it for clout” product.
And people literally bought right into it.
I bet their sales go down next year...maybe
They were like, oh here’s something for the poors. They will be thankful. 🙄
This was my immediate thought when I very first heard of it. Perfect example of fake disaster marketing
The person who inflated the price & sold it to you on eBay should be sued… 😵😠🤣
But seriously
@@aprilsilvers381 sales will go up because streamers with money will be the ones buying it to review and laugh at it
A year later and this advent calendar still gets me
I’m cryinggg 😂😂😂 love watching your unboxings ❤
"If the disappointments of 2021 were an Advent Calendar". Nailed it.
Best comment yet
The only thing this calendar has is an infinite amount of audacity. They stole all the audacity from Sephora and QVC and multiplied it.
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOU!! TY For Your Video! WOW CHANEL!!!
I’ve never bought an advent calendar and now I’m so happy about it after watching this. Thanks for the review.
Is it just me, or does it seem like they spent more on the "fettuccine" paper in each package than the whole entire package combined?! 🤬😡🤬
Sephora: going down as having the worst advent calendar ever!!
Chanel: hold my #5 extra mini bottle!!
First time watching your channel. I loved your energy; so much fun and managed to grin through literal manufactured garbage in the calendar. Good job
I looove teeny perfumes!❤ I get the Victorias Secret minis for Christmas every year!
Oh my god. They’re actually charging $800 for like 4 full-size products, an okay keychain, and a bunch of garbage.
I think we have a winner for this years worst advent calendar lol
I was a makeup artist for Chanel in Neiman Marcus in Las Vegas for a few years and this looks like a Christmas gift with purchase we would give customers
Las Vegas is a miserable place to live. Hopefully you got out of there..
@@patr70 I agree
Stickers?! Empty bag?! The few bits of make up and perfume are super mini?! I would be absolutely furious. They charged nearly $30 per day for the kind of crap companies hand out for free at convention booths.
Honey, this is one of those “saw you comin moments, bless your heart.
Chanel deleted their entire TikTok account because of the backlash from this infuriating box. They should be *ashamed*
NO WAY. They did. They need to refund anyone that has this calendar. They are abhorrent for this.
If you go to their website and order their $20 box of cotton squares, they send you 2 samples and that bag.... that would equate to $100+ of items from that calendar, for free in just samples.
Right, it makes no sense. It's really insulting to their clients. I really feel they should apologize and send all buyers gift cards. This is embarassing and makes me and I'm sure others never want to buy from them again. So Rude. 😔
Watching this video is my new Christmas tradition
Going on a dopamine binge amd watching calendar unboxings in July 😅 but I just realized it starts on day five because it's Chanel No "5"! Holy moly!
I can't believe there's an Advent Calendar WORSE than Sephora. I'm second-hand angry lol
LMAO THIS MADE ME COMPLETELY FORGET ABOUT THAT GARBAGE
Not only worse, 1455 dollars more expensive for Alexandria lmao
The loud sound you hear is Coco turning in her grave. She would be APPALLED at the quality of that box. These people seriously need to get a clue. I think you're right, it IS even worse than Sephora.
Turning? She is rotating the speed of light shooting out of this universe and chaning her name by poll deed...
And considering she wasn’t a great person anyways the fact that that is true is saying a LOT
@@floskywalker6220 It's not saying a lot considering that. Her not being a great person doesn't say anything about her dedication to quality and luxury for her brand. Her political beliefs aren't connected to this at all.
@@Maialeen defending someones shitty political beliefs says plenty about you
... her dedication to quality and her steadfast support of the NAZI party and hatred of Jewish and Romani people.... truly an icon... so glad my family died for her beliefes
Great video !! I really like her 👏👏 all her comments are right on 👍
Yes I love the yeeting of the numbers
Honestly, some of the most blistering reviews I’ve seen have been from Chanel super-fans and collectors. They’re the ones who know that most of these items are just little PR freebies.
That single multi-vitamin is starting to look real good right now. 😂 This calendar is an absolute joke. The value would be… like 1/3 of the $800 price tag? Nuts.
Less. The bottle of perfume isn’t even $140, and there is no way the rest of it is worth $60. What’s in the box is less than 1/4 of the price paid!
NOT THE SINGLE VITAMIN 🤣
I am so glad i clicked on this, i’m dying of laughter. Crying laughing. I know its from last year but oh my goood
This video has become my Christmas tradition.
I feel like Gabrielle Chanel herself would be turning in her grave for how much of an embarrassment this calendar is to her brand.
And a Nazi
I saw a former Chanel rep say that several of the items were literally gifts with purchase. Each of the doors works out to 30 dollars and only like four are worth anything close to that.
Wow!! Sounds ‘bout right smh 🤦🏾♀️
I collect mini items and how adorable are the mini perfume bottles.
'It's not even that sticky' is my favourite quote 💛
