Great unboxing as always 😊 However, Nail varnish, playing cards, ugly scarf, socks and sleeping mask on a £355 calendar, it’s a big NO, thank you 😄 And It doesn’t beat Harrods as Harrods was only £250 for £1,600 worth of value.
Thank you so much for the unboxing; you did an excellent job capturing the details. However, it’s clear that larger companies like Vogue need to put more effort into quality control and be genuinely thoughtful in curating these experiences. After receiving such unwavering support from their audience throughout the year(s), it's essential for these brands to give back in a way that feels meaningful and deserving of that loyalty. If they truly focused on delivering quality, value, and appreciation, these calendars could be transformed into unforgettable, cherished gifts-worthy of the investment for those who are willing to spend if the experience matches the price.
Ordered Sept. 5th. when you shared your link....for your US followers; $465 + $40 shipping. Patiently waiting...received the shipping notice last night ☺ I want to know which lip shade they selected for this red box, total Glam! Typical for me though, my favorites are drawer 16, 111Skin, you just can't beat a good mask, or, drawer 21, MZ Skin eye masks, and my wife will love the playing cards!! 🤣🤣 This isn't as exciting as last years, but, it's absolutely "Vogue" impressive...I think anyone lucky enough to receive it will love it! Thank you Karen, this is a beautiful calendar and you gave us a great presentation! 🥰
I'm definitely unsure about a few of the items in here. Socks, a scarf (although it is quite nice - just not for me), and playing cards?? Not my cup of tea, especially for the price point. Personally I wouldn't use the devices either. I can still appreciate the aesthetic of the calendar itself though and some nice products inside. Not knocking out of the park for me this year. Not sure if they did this last year, but I spotted they're shipping to the US and EU this year. No shipping for "Rest of World" though. Thanks very much for getting this one unboxed and edited LIGHTNING fast! 🙌
Where this falls short for me vs. last year is the switch to all full-size products. There were a lot of great minis last year (Hourglass blush and setting powder, two Sisley deluxe samples, four Clé de Peau deluxe samples, etc.), and they've replaced them with some full-size filler. The rest is very similar... and perhaps a bit too similar. Another silk sleeping mask (Olivia von Halle instead of Yolke). More cashmere socks (Loop instead of The White Company). Another Foreo (Luna Play Smart 2 instead of UFO 3 Mini). Another candle (Apotheke instead of Neom). Another token Charlotte tilbury product (Lip Blur instead of Push Up Mascara). Gold vermeil earrings (Completed Works) instead of a gold plated necklace (Lily & Roo). Etc.
Love it for most part but would liked to put silk eye mask should be with eye sheets and playing cards in a double door would be better. It was fun to open
After talking to my eye specialist I will never use an eyelash serum again. Which is sad, because 2 lots of cancer and two lots of menopause (pre and post surgery) Jas left my lashes extremely short and sparse. My eyes are more important of course.
Very beautiful calendar! Love all the skincare. Multiple masks which you don't see in other calendars. I did think last year had more of a variety of luxury items. I would still purchase it if I could afford it but $500 for the US is just too much for me. I already purchased the Space NK one which I love. I was thinking as you were opening it if it was better than last year I would save up for it. I only get one Advent a year. I still thing that Vogue is the best high-end Advent. The packaging alone is stunning. Karen, thanks for purchasing so many expensive calendars to share with us! Enjoy! ❤❤
For me a scarf and sleep mask, even if they are silk. Are still a filler item. And don't get me started on the cards. In such an expensive calendar, there shouldn't be any fillers. And socks - seriously!😢
Bought it last year and loved it, was so looking forward to this year’s reveal but very disappointed unfortunately. Too many repetitions like the Foreo, cashmere socks and silk eye mask. Great video though, thank you for sharing, my bank manager says ‘thank you’😂xx
I was so so excited for this one and honestly really don't know how to feel about it!! I have 6 foreo products love them..there is some really good things in there but yeah I don't know it's 50 50 for me..appreciate u showing it though 👍
an £85 scarf and it comes in a plastic bag! jeez! At least if it came in a lovely gift box people could re-gift it if they didn't like it for themselves! Given the cost of this I was hoping I wouldn't like it - and I don't! Phew! 😂
There are some beautiful products in there, but also some very embarrassing inclusions given the price point for this one!! I think unless someone is specifically interested in the devices included in here, they will be better off with one of the calendars being sold for 100 £ less!!
Hi - I remember the rainbow moving into nail colour - I wasn’t able to get Hardy Candy at the time but loved the rainbow on my toes - I think I used Miss Selfridges collection xx
Thank you for the unboxing ! I love the design, just as beautiful as last year ! The contents, like you said are not as exciting as last year, but there's still some good stuff. I think that with a full size perfume, maybe they could add the sample, so peope can try the scent and then keep or gift the perfume. The sleeping mask... the colour is the worst colour to associate with sleep. Red, especially as bright and bold is not recommended in a bedroom, but I guess once it's on, you can't see the colour anymore.
I like some of the random products thrown in, like the scarf and socks. I'd love cashmere socks but wouldn't ever buy them for myself. That silk scarf would make a great sleep bonnet. The art on the cards is beautiful and I always need more sleep masks because I tend to push them off in the middle of the night and lose them in the blankets. I'm not crazy about the jewelry because it's really not my style and my ears aren't pierced. I like that they have a lot of products in here that are different from all the other calendars but the price is too high for me. In U.S. dollars, it ends up as $18.60 per day before any kind of tax or shipping. I'd have bought it at $300, but not $465. It's absolutely gorgeous, though, so I hope everyone who does get it is very happy with it!
Just did the math based on the shipping someone else posted in the comments and total for me would be about $542, $21.69 per day. I don't think I would pay that to have many of the items in the box, either because I have them already or have something very similar I already like.
This made my day❤❤❤❤I wanna order this but I just bought the Flannels one as well, and Flannels fragrance calendar as well😂I work from September to November just to pay these advent calendars❤I’m broke and happy thanks to you Karen❤❤❤love them all, thank you so much for doing these videos❤️
I guess I'm supposed to be like that. Okay something different. I mean the calendar is okay it's a lot of money though! I agree definitely the last one was better. But aren't they all like that when they first hit the scene they're going to make it super good you know I kind of expected it not to be as good maybe I don't know. Thank you as always for unboxing it with us 🙏❤️
I’m no longer sad I decided to not buy this Calander. They stuffed to many nothings into the box. I’d be really mad if I did buy this and did not have pierced ears. Thanks for buying this and opening it with us.
You can send me the scarf, it would look good with my auburn hair! It's very 80s which makes me think of high school, but it seems like the opposite of your aesthetic!
I think your reply actually was ment for someone else. Since i am here Talking to you. About the scarf in Scandinavian style ( where they hit that from) use the scarf as a belt. Make it a small string by folding.
I would be pissed for the expensive (and to me the prices are definitely made up) scarf, the massager ( useless imho), expensive eye mask (!?!?!?price is made up, cmon), socks (cashmere or not, socks at 69 pounds should be illegal) , cards ( wtf??) and foreo (foreo not rechargeable, is bad for environment!). Great video as always, just sad that u did not get other nice skin care or make up
Okay I was a little iffy when I saw the scarf and then the color of the sleeping mask but playing cards? I don't know this calendar is silly expensive and for that much money a deck of cards on a whole day I could see maybe if they just added that in as an extra but to take up a whole day's worth I'm not sure I guess it would be more of a collector's thing if you were a collector of Vogue maybe but yeah for me that's a little disappointing. 🤔
US price is $495 before shipping CA state tax, etc. I’ll take my $500 and buy stuff I actually want I wasn’t that impressed. If it was half the price I’d think about it
You are the first person I’ve “met” that is actually allergic to dairy, I am too, everyone says they are allergic and when I try to inquire how it affects them it always ends up they are lactose intolerant! Never allergic, I get so mad…not that I say anything to them 😠. Allergic is considerably more severe than lactose intolerance. 🤔
Definitely not for me....thought it was a bit blah and that scarf!!! Playing cards??? Not many people paint their own nails anymore either. A few nice bits but there are definitely better calendars out there. Thanks for another wonderful unboxing though Karen xx
not impressed with this one, too much expensive tat! Burberry Goddess is my fave perfume, been on the hunt for a new signature scent since I only wore Chanel 5 since for ever - Goddess stole my nasal heart! Give it a spray on you, you will smell it all day and will fall in love 🥰
If your ears aren't pierced those are useless or they're kinda useless cause there's too much op keep to them anyway but I guess that goes with luxury brand
The best thing about this is the box. The candle is awful and just smells of fire and the luxury items just look cheap. The earrings feel and look like something from Claire’s and the scarf on a plastic bag is a big disappointment. Gutted because I have been looking forward to this based on last years. You don’t get a full skin care routine and hardly any makeup just 2 lip products and an eyeshadow. Sephora is over £100 cheaper and is loads better
Great unboxing as always 😊 However, Nail varnish, playing cards, ugly scarf, socks and sleeping mask on a £355 calendar, it’s a big NO, thank you 😄
And It doesn’t beat Harrods as Harrods was only £250 for £1,600 worth of value.
harrods was the best!!!
Scarf £90 or so, £69 for the socks, another £90 for the eye mask, £29 playing cards, £18 a piece for the nail varnish … 💀
Its NAH for me

You've stated this so well, Thank you Ms.! 👏👏👏
Definitely think last year's was better, don't like the scalf or mask, nor the playing cards, but still a very pretty box x
I think it was much nicer last year.
Last year's definitely seemed nicer overall.

Probably the first advent calendar in the west that includes more than 1 mask sheets and hydrogel under eye masks.
Where this falls short for me vs. last year is the switch to all full-size products. There were a lot of great minis last year (Hourglass blush and setting powder, two Sisley deluxe samples, four Clé de Peau deluxe samples, etc.), and they've replaced them with some full-size filler.

Gold vermeil earrings (Completed Works) instead of a gold plated necklace (Lily & Roo). Etc.
You did a great job presenting this calendar!
I’m now nearly tempted to buy it😅😂
A little bit expensive? 😂😂😂 yeah. My two months food spend - ONLY!
Love it for most part but would liked to put silk eye mask should be with eye sheets and playing cards in a double door would be better. It was fun to open
Wohooo!! Finally!! I've been waiting for this unboxing. ❤
Hi Karen 😊
I'm so excited for you to unbox this one❤
Stunning! Thanks Karen!
After talking to my eye specialist I will never use an eyelash serum again. Which is sad, because 2 lots of cancer and two lots of menopause (pre and post surgery) Jas left my lashes extremely short and sparse. My eyes are more important of course.
I can attest to the UK Lash serum. Its fantastic and does work. It usually takes a few weeks
Very beautiful calendar! Love all the skincare. Multiple masks which you don't see in other calendars. I did think last year had more of a variety of luxury items.

The scarf is gorgeous! Wrap it around a black handbag handle, it’s a bit lux
Bought it last year and loved it, was so looking forward to this year’s reveal but very disappointed unfortunately. Too many repetitions like the Foreo, cashmere socks and silk eye mask. Great video though, thank you for sharing, my bank manager says ‘thank you’😂xx

I would have loved if they included a necklace, earrings and either a bracelet or an adjustable ring distributed in different doors
an £85 scarf and it comes in a plastic bag! jeez! At least if it came in a lovely gift box people could re-gift it if they didn't like it for themselves! Given the cost of this I was hoping I wouldn't like it - and I don't! Phew! 😂

I had to wait until after work to give this my full attention.

I wish this was in my budget. Great review :)
That lip oil looks gorgeous!!! 🤩🤩🤩
This made my day❤❤❤❤I wanna order this but I just bought the Flannels one as well, and Flannels fragrance calendar as well😂I work from September to November just to pay these advent calendars❤I’m broke and happy thanks to you Karen❤❤❤love them all, thank you so much for doing these videos❤️
Glad I didn’t get this one. Not exciting enough 😢 great video as always Karen ❤ xx
Oooh Yey! Been waiting to see this one!
enjoyed the video, amazing lip colour ❤
I agree. Last years was way better.
Great box calendar.
I think last years was a lot better this one felt lacklustre after last years
Been waiting on this
Definitely better last year--did anyone ever figure out what the free bonus gift was last year that most people couldn't figure out?
Very nice calendar.. But at that price surely they could have thrown in a battery 😅
They aren’t allowed to djup batteries anymore. That i have noticed
@@krooks6367 ah OK. Thanks for clearing that up 😊
I'm trying to look really hard at those earrings on day 25 are they like not even? Or is it just the way the camera's seeing it?
I guess I'm supposed to be like that. Okay something different. I mean the calendar is okay it's a lot of money though! I agree definitely the last one was better. But aren't they all like that when they first hit the scene they're going to make it super good you know I kind of expected it not to be as good maybe I don't know. Thank you as always for unboxing it with us 🙏❤️
I’m no longer sad I decided to not buy this Calander. They stuffed to many nothings into the box. I’d be really mad if I did buy this and did not have pierced ears. Thanks for buying this and opening it with us.
Not enough things I would use. I actually prefer the liberty advent calendar.
The scarf, the socks and the eye mask and the deck of cards definitely felt overpriced fillers in the calendar.
Design of playing cards on the back are always the same or you'll be able to cheat. 😉 (but not something for an advent calendar)
I'm not sure who goes to cocktail parties at Christmas 😂
An eyemask and cards🙈 overall a bit underwhelming
Vogue was great last year
You can send me the scarf, it would look good with my auburn hair! It's very 80s which makes me think of high school, but it seems like the opposite of your aesthetic!
I saw this last year I put it at the top of my list for this year and did not buy it because of the socks and scarf lol
Are u reviewing any american advent calendars as most of the European ones you cant get in the US?
Why are advent calendars getting so much skincare like I don’t gaf about that give me the make up😭
Didn’t we get the charlotte tilbury lip blur in the house of Fraser beauty box for Christmas?
i m glad i waited. this year is a hard no for me,
A silk turban or hair band would be better than eye mask ?
I think your reply actually was ment for someone else.
Since i am here Talking to you. About the scarf in Scandinavian style ( where they hit that from) use the scarf as a belt. Make it a small string by folding.
My ears aren't pierced so the last day is no good to me 😆 not that I was going to buy a £355 calendar anyway!
I would be pissed for the expensive (and to me the prices are definitely made up) scarf, the massager ( useless imho), expensive eye mask (!?!?!?price is made up, cmon), socks (cashmere or not, socks at 69 pounds should be illegal) , cards ( wtf??) and foreo (foreo not rechargeable, is bad for environment!).
Great video as always, just sad that u did not get other nice skin care or make up
Oh shut up!!!! 😮😮 this is y I should not look at my phone while I'm work already too excited for this one eeeeeeek!!!! 😁
Gorgeous and definitely luxurious. I'm glad I ordered this one.
A milk allergy is very common I'm surprised I put something with that in it
Karen: £95.
Me: Nooooo.
Okay I was a little iffy when I saw the scarf and then the color of the sleeping mask but playing cards? I don't know this calendar is silly expensive and for that much money a deck of cards on a whole day I could see maybe if they just added that in as an extra but to take up a whole day's worth I'm not sure I guess it would be more of a collector's thing if you were a collector of Vogue maybe but yeah for me that's a little disappointing. 🤔

Thoroughly enjoyed your unboxing, but not one for me ❤️
Definitely not for me....thought it was a bit blah and that scarf!!! Playing cards??? Not many people paint their own nails anymore either. A few nice bits but there are definitely better calendars out there. Thanks for another wonderful unboxing though Karen xx
It is odd also that most of the pictures are all named "Christmas Gift."
Loved your unboxing but it’s not for me. I don’t like the filler products cards, socks, scarf. Last years was better
Not loving this! I prefer my SpaceNK one or the flannels cracker!
People that can pay 70 for socks, are not hand washing them. Lol They're either habing someone else wash them or toss and buy more. 😂
not impressed with this one, too much expensive tat! Burberry Goddess is my fave perfume, been on the hunt for a new signature scent since I only wore Chanel 5 since for ever - Goddess stole my nasal heart! Give it a spray on you, you will smell it all day and will fall in love 🥰
It’s so pretty, but last years felt more special….
By Draw 6 I was like what’s next ? A dress and a pair of shoes !😂
Great unboxing as always but I’m afraid this isn’t for me. Really disappointing 😕
I am disappointed. I was so excited because last year was great.
the scarf could do with been bigger...i think for the price nothing special stands out cheaper better calnders out there 🙄
If you get less products then the price has gone up
Play cards and a sleep mask, are they taking the piss
Vermeil is gold-plated silver, NOT brass. That’s just gold-plated. Nope.
If your ears aren't pierced those are useless or they're kinda useless cause there's too much op keep to them anyway but I guess that goes with luxury brand
Ooooh this calendar is such a let down, not for me unfortunately 😬
Not for me, I think for the money it costs it should have been very extra. I'll pass.
Harrods is much better
Silly price no thanks
Sleeping mask. Playing cards. Socks and a scarf!!!! Definitely a NO
Not great for the price
I think earrings are really disappointing. I don’t wear earrings, not everybody does. A necklace or a bracelet is more usable for everybody I think…
It's really pretty again ,but hmm not sure.
What a disappointment. I literally don’t want any of this stuff! Thanks for sparring me the £355!
Such a shame, last year's was so much better with the three days of jewellery, full of weird fillers this time
The best thing about this is the box. The candle is awful and just smells of fire and the luxury items just look cheap. The earrings feel and look like something from Claire’s and the scarf on a plastic bag is a big disappointment. Gutted because I have been looking forward to this based on last years. You don’t get a full skin care routine and hardly any makeup just 2 lip products and an eyeshadow. Sephora is over £100 cheaper and is loads better
Packaging is gorgeous but the contents…👎
Not one I would buy, for the money I would expect not to get a pack of cards, a not so nice scarf, or sleep eye mask, needs more thought.
