i must say, in my opinion this is a huge rip off. I was looking to get this for a friend who loves Wicked, yes the artwork is lovely but thank you for showing the content because now I wont buy it.
I'm not a Wicked fan but will say the art style is very appealing. I think them making it with removable clue said a lot for the manufacturers considering it would be purchased by collectors. Most arguments are destroyed by the time you've opened the doors. I would just keep everything inside like a window box and mount it opened flat on the wall :-)
Yes I think it was a very thoughtful choice for the removeable glue. It would have just wrecked me if all the pretty envelopes had gotten torn when opening them!
I’m someone who got the scam calendar. But I’m so glad you posted this because every morning I would open mine and watch yours to see what I should have gotten. It made it a fun laugh!
I have got this calendar and I think it is excellent only negative is the emerald city booklet it's only got 8 pages it won't last long so I'm going to keep it as a display and maybe do some small wicked drawings in it
I really like that all the items in the calendar are useable for pretty much everyday use. Like sticky notes, pencil, Coasters book marks and other stuff. Unlike Alot of Advent calendar items.
I agree! They are mostly practical items which I appreciate. I know some people have expressed their disappointment with how average and ordinary the items are, which I can understand. But it is a relatively inexpensive advent calendar and my expectations weren't too high for the set. In the end, I'm happy with it as a Wicked fan
Mine was terrible and different. For example my post it notes were absolutely plain-no Glinda, elphaba, wicked artwork at all. And my day 18 was a very small plastic Oz logo way down at the bottom of that LOOONG pocket.
For $20-25 this is good. If you want more, pay for it!! P. S. Lauren, this is my first time seeing one of your videos and I was not disappointed. Your voice and the video editing rocks. Like the Glinda pink outfit!
Aww thanks for your sweet comment! I agree, for the price, I wasn't disappointed. I think some people's expectations are a little high for the price point, but to each their own...
Why, won't you still have to pay it to have the product? I don't think you can avoid paying taxes. Maybe the shipping if it a product you can buy in stores, but taxes should be always included.
@@fernandagoncalvesoliveirab2083 Because taxes and shipping vary depending on where you are but more importantly it is not money that is going towards the cost of producing the advent calendar.
I got this and it was a tomatal scam I got nothing she did and it was all just cheap stickers nd random peices of paper and I even got just plain white sticky notes I mean wtf
❤ your videos. Started with just the flowerknows vids and have started branching out to wicked.😊 Btw have u received the order from the new FK collection yet?
Just an FYI. Some of you may have the fake one. I bought one off of eBay. It was a Christmas present for myself and it’s fake. So you may have a fake one if you don’t think it’s worth the $25. I think it is. The fake one is horrible so this real one looks so much better!! They said it sold out everywhere so I’m not sure if I ever will be able to get one but please don’t buy it off of eBay because you may possibly get a fake one. I just don’t want people to waste their money like I did.
We ordered one for our Granddaughter it come and was a knock off version,will all the wrong presents ,just cheap tat nothing like on this video,she was really disappointed,£16 it was as well so be careful out there
I am so sad, all I wanted, for Christmas was this advert calendar and I was thrilled when I got it. However, I started to notice the quality was poor but I really didn't understand what a rip off version I had until I got to the long envelope for day 18 and nothing was in there but a small plastic Oz about the size of a quarter. I started to look online and found that everything I had was poor quality or missing from the version you have. For tape, there were 2 tiny rolls of thin yellow tape, there were 2 green paper clips and 3 post-it-notes, instead of a notebook. I just wanted to cry seeing how nice others got and my was so poor, but I wasn't alone. A lot of people with the same vendor on Amazon reported that it looked like someone look all the items out and replaced with anything they could find that was pink or green. It is so bad and so sad, I am trying to get a refund from Amazon but this was my one Christmas gift. My husband says to try another vendor but I am afraid I'll get taken again, I hear Walmar was selling a lot of the knock offs.
Oh no, I'm so sorry that happened! ☹️ I'm glad you got in touch with Amazon, hopefully, they can help and get you refunded. I hate hearing all the stories from people that got knock off versions. I got mine super early and I think the original creators underestimated the demand for this item and so many sellers out there tried to recreate it with scammy items.
Well, it was $24.61 before tax, so from a business perspective, that just really doesn't seem like it would work. But Kohl's online did have a Wicked themed advent calendar with makeup products. I'm not sure if it's still available but it's worth looking into.
This advent is awful😖 it screams dollar store, cheap, childish, and so underwhelming for something thats themed for a story NOT geared towards the children. Children that this type of gumball machine items would appeal too. You look super cute as Glinda tho!!😊
This is like if Wicked owned a dollar store lol
Its $20
Although the box was disappointing, I just want to say I appreciate your Glinda inspired makeup & fit!!!
You look absolutely beautiful! 😍
Aww thank you! 😊
i must say, in my opinion this is a huge rip off. I was looking to get this for a friend who loves Wicked, yes the artwork is lovely but thank you for showing the content because now I wont buy it.
Do you think wicked is a kids movie? I haven’t watched it yet so-
@@Nami..Queen. it 10 million percent isn't. Especially the book. Both are not really for kids
@@gamergirlgametheorist3078 what’s it about??
I feel way ripped off. I paid about $60 for this in NZ. I’m an OG book fan, but this is not it for me
for $25 I think it’s worth it
When my husband and I got married in 2006 we went to see Wicked on Broadway. It was amazing, we got to see Kirsten Chenoweth and Idina Manzel.
OMG what a dream!!! I would die if I could have seen the original Broadway cast! 😍😍 I was too busy being in 2nd grade when Wicked debuted 😞
Thanks for the honest review, and staying positive during the less exciting items :)
Of course! I foresee a lot of dark days ahead so I try to find the good in every little thing I can :) Thanks for watching!
She was obviously paid or influenced to share it. The quality of the rubbish wouldn't be sold in shops, this is shocking.
is it me or are there very few *elphaba* items in the calendar? plenty of green, but theyre oz or emerald city or elphaba-and-glinda themed...
Yeah I totally agree with this point! I would have loved a few more Elphaba exclusive items
Your nails are SO CUTE!! Love your commitment to the theme! ❤
Thank you for noticing!! 🥰
“A green powdered sugar and you dusted it over a hot chocolate” oh you could also do a matcha drink too! 🍵

matcha powder is green and could work for that foam topper stencil
Great idea! I will definitely have to try it out soon!
My mum and dad got me it. The one i got was such a rip off! Wish we could have got our money back after the usless items we got
Oh no! Did your's have the same items or different?
@LaurenLex some of the items were the same like the badges,coasters and stickers but there was stuff in there that were nothing to do with Wicked
Aww that is so lame! I hate that there seems to problems with consistency with this item... :(
@@LaurenLex thank you I'm not alone with the problem of it. Since they did a pencil you think they would do a sharpener or a ruler
We got a scam version too, from Amazon.
I’m someone who got the scam calendar. But I’m so glad you posted this because every morning I would open mine and watch yours to see what I should have gotten. It made it a fun laugh!
Love your styling! So perfect for this
Thank you! 💕💚
For basically a $1 a day this is actually a really decent calendar 💚💖
I thought so too! :)
I like your Glinda dress 👗.
Thank you! 😊
I have got this calendar and I think it is excellent only negative is the emerald city booklet it's only got 8 pages it won't last long so I'm going to keep it as a display and maybe do some small wicked drawings in it
Yeah I agree, 8 pages is pretty small. I decided to keep mine as a display thing too lol. It's too small to be functional
8:18 I would turn the OZ band bookmark into a necklace ❤
Omg that's a really good idea! I love it!
What is so cute, is you look like Glenda today! ❤. So beautiful.
Thank you for noticing! :)
Use the stencil for sugar cookies. Dust pink or green sugar on them.
Omg great idea! I'm totally going to do some Wicked themed Christmas cookies!
The cutest unpacking I've ever seen. You are charming.
Aww thank you 😊 I hope you enjoyed the video!

off topic but..
YOUR SO PRETTYYY! ❤❤
Ohhh! Lol thank you 😊
Tweezers is helpful when opening calendars
So true! I'll remember that for next time lol
Such a helpful video! I'm excited to get the patches! 😊
Mine was terrible and different. For example my post it notes were absolutely plain-no Glinda, elphaba, wicked artwork at all. And my day 18 was a very small plastic Oz logo way down at the bottom of that LOOONG pocket.

To be fair, I wouldn't include taxes or shipping as part of the cost per item. I'd just base it on the actual cost of the advent calendar. js :)
but in most other countries tax is included so it won't translate well for the rest of us!
I like inclusion of the taxes and shipping. Because that is the actual cost to obtain the calendar.
Why, won't you still have to pay it to have the product? I don't think you can avoid paying taxes. Maybe the shipping if it a product you can buy in stores, but taxes should be always included.
@@fernandagoncalvesoliveirab2083 Because taxes and shipping vary depending on where you are but more importantly it is not money that is going towards the cost of producing the advent calendar.
They should do it as 12 days of Christmas and just include the better items and not like paper gift tags and a pencil…
They made one with all lip balms 😭
Is that the one they were selling at Kohl's? If so, I saw that one online and read the contents and I was like nope!
Thank you for the spoilers 😉😉… now I know when to buy it
Hope you enjoy it!
Nice editing!
Thanks!
Great video 💙💛❤💚💜
Thanks!
The only thing I liked was the Oz elasticated bookmark in day 18.
Yeah, it's probably not worth it to you for just that item :(
Slay queen
I got this and it was a tomatal scam I got nothing she did and it was all just cheap stickers nd random peices of paper and I even got just plain white sticky notes I mean wtf
REALLY?? omg that is such a bummer. Did you get it from Amazon too?
Where do you get that?
I bought mine on Amazon
That is deff for a kid or pre teen or teen
Or a non-money hungry adult. Just enjoy.
Thanks a lot babe!!
Very welcome!
❤ your videos. Started with just the flowerknows vids and have started branching out to wicked.😊 Btw have u received the order from the new FK collection yet?
You are in for a treat! My video is going live tomorrow! :)
@LaurenLex Yay! What time???

Oh no! That's such a shame! Where did you purchase it from?
🧙🏼♀️👸🏼
Where is your lovely blouse from?
I believe I got it from Shein a couple months ago. It's actually a dress :)

Trust me for 20 something dollars this is fine designed for children
Feel like this was sold by Temu
For someone who loves wicked I feel this is a rip off. I won't be buying it
I like it and I love Wicked
Was hoping it had make up or Starbucks merchandise

I honestly think even children would be disappointed to get gift tags lol
Sorry but this calendar is a pure trash. 31$ on amazon (it is showing me this price now) for one sticker per door and cheap bracelet?
Bracelet? There was no bracelet in my set
Wow that is a rip off
What a bunch of crap! Better stuff at dollar store!
Rip off
