The Beauty Insider Advent Calender is only for members and can't be bought with money, only reward points. It was 2500 beauty points, so at least $500 spend at Sephora

and the stuff in it is all trash

Lauren points out that you can get a lot better Sephora sets with that amount of points

do you already have a Advent Calender ontd

Such a bummer when stuff like this is garbage - seems like it could be an easy way to get people on board with your products if it's done right.

Thought about buying myself this

Summer just got merrier! 🎁🎄 Unwrap 24 days of premium See's pieces plus a BRAND NEW exclusive treat only available in this calendar! #ChristmasinJuly

but it's super overpriced for what it is.

Oh that is so cute and I looove See's! But not sure about the price lol

i used to be a subscriber of lauren before she started doing the advent calendars, and i used to really like her. however, she buys these advent calendars knowing they're going to be shit. she has a major overconsumption problem.

I feel like Alexandria Ryan is probably the worst - she buys so many advent calendars and subscription boxes and then forgets for months that she has them and has to do speed unboxings to get through them all.

[wonheaux]

oh yeah, she's definitely another main offender. i just didn't like the shift in lauren's content and her attitude towards these advent calendars when she knows they're not that great. since she can afford more makeup, she had a more bougie attitude.

Maybe she donates the leftovers to women's shelters? Wishful thinking.

I like the Bonne Maman advent calendar - 25 days of jams and jellies!

That's what I got this year!

Picking mine up tonight! Its on sale at London Drugs for any Canadians :)

omg thanks for the tip!!

2500 points = $2500

and you can get a $100 sephora gift card with 2500 points

so $100 for THAT? no. and sephora's point system is a joke anyway. so all of this is just bad.

[accioanime]

sounds to me like it's Sephora's way for members to use up their points needlessly so they DONT have to give away actual money on gift cards

[she_can_rock]

sephoras point system will always and forever be a scam.
i don’t really do “high end” makeup anymore, but i wish the ones i do like would switch to ulta. or at least be available online even though their website sucks too.
