Ойын-сауық
I bought all of the most VIRAL makeup advent calendars this year and SPOILER ALERT... they're a MASSIVE SCAM. Watch as I unbox MAC, NYX, ELF, and Saks Fifth Ave and see for yourself...

Saks had me rolling my eyes at each day because those are samples that you can get for FREE

the elf was by far the best bang for your buck… stan an affordable brand 🤩
For charging that much for advent calendars they should be the best selling products.

That was the best Advent Calendar for this year 🤩 I got the mini one
the saks one made me so mad. every door you opened was literally ONE pump of product. you can just go to the store and pump way more out of the free samples than you even got in each product. definitely overpriced. (for me at least) 😭

For brands like M.A.C that aren’t as popular as they used to be, idk why they don’t just make an advent calendar filled with ONLY their most popular products so like Whirl, Cork, and Teddy for the lip liners….those are the most popular ones, and then the matching lip sticks and maybe a Prep&Prime setting spray. As for e.l.f, they should’ve put in their most popular products from this year so like their lip oils, and blush and contour wands.

I definitely think the ELF was the best in my opinion. I would be most pleased with that one
the thing that annoys me about so many beauty advent calendars is that they have the BIGGEST boxs/ compartments yet the products are absolutely tiny and they’re all SO EXPENSIVE

If people keep on buying them like that , they're going to keep on selling them like that. And people are going to keep on buying them because of the "I have to buy this person a present. I've no real idea what to get them that they'd want but I know they wear makeup and this presentation box looks impressive. That's one job ticked off a long list".
They should do advent calendars for different skin tone, so you just pick the skin tone you are that way you get like better shades for you
HIII JAMES, I got my pallet yesterday and I LOVE IT🥰🥰 the glitter shades are absolutely BEAUTIFUL

You could use the paint pot as a color corrector under the eyes maybe 🤷🏼♂️ it’s a peachy color that might cancel blue tones and brighten the under eye 😇

I would much rather just buy a couple full sized products that I know I like than spend this kinda money on a bunch of mini/sample/least selling products that I either won't use or get only a couple uses out of 🤷🏻♀️😂😂 But I loveeeee James 💗💗💗
Do a challenge to USE all the makeup advent calendar products and make a look! Hehe
Okay James I dont know how often you hear it and at this point i dont really care. Thank you SO MUCH for being consistent with your content. Its so f*cking appreciated. Your videos make me feel better 🌹
I absolutely love watching beauty advent calendar unboxing. Honestly the highlight I'm gonna be looking forward to each year 🥰🥰
I bought a beauty advent calendar last year..and never bought one again🤣I’ll stick to chocolate lol🎅🏻
I look forward to your videos so much every week!! Absolutely love your content. 🤍
I just thought of a great video idea: For March Madness what if you and your friends did a "makeup product" bracket. Elf Primer vs Nyx Primer, then if Nyx wins it's Nyx vs Fenty ect ect? That would be fun to watch! Then we'd get to see the best-of-the best products
You should try the ‘Style Korean’ advent calendar, it’s skincare and some makeup 😊. Full sized products with free shipping. James Welsh did a video on it but never finished opening them all 😢 btw huge fan of your videos! Love your humor and mua skills! 💕

You are correct, he ate it and left no crumbs
you should do a full face of make up from only the Avent calendars
Does anyone else think James should make his own advent calendar? And does anyone else know it would be amazing
I love the first one’s design 😊 I’m 25 and I’ve never had any kind of advent calendar so I like watching these videos
i hate getting unwanted colors too, but it is nice to try the formula to see if i would like to buy them in a shade i would wear (the affordable brands like elf and nyx)
Love you James I’ve been watching you since for ever💓💓 HAPPY HOLIDAY❤️🎄🎄
James every time he opens a product "oooo"😂😂😂
omg when james got upset and screamed 'FUCK!!', I choked on my monster.
The lipstick on the teeth appearing then disappearing every second frame has me cackling
Maybe YOU should make an advent calendar for your brand!!!😍😍😍
I Know james has a big makeup collection but id be so gratefull for these stuff

Remember this disappointing experience when you come out with your own ADVENT calendars. U are off to a great start.❤💚❤💚❤Merry Christmas
honestly i like the makeup look. the white eyebrows are just throwing me off a little bit but it’s still so cute!
the last one was kinda smart too😂 they give you samples basically so that you buy the real thing after... Which gives them more 💸💸💸
i think brands should take advent calendars as an opportunity to have a lot of products that kinda reflect on the years makeup trends

You are so much fun to watch!! This was an excellent video! ☺️
MAC actually did really well with the products for our Indian skintone - love the reds, the browns everything!!!
You should do a full face of makeup using only the products you get from advent calanders in this video!!!
Hey James, I love your videos so much they give me so much joy. I love all your tips, but I would love it if you made a video of all of the make up brands you recommend altogether for foundation you pick a foundation that you recommend and for any other make up product Please , thank you for everything you have showed us. You are pretty much my idol. Please blow this up so he can see this!!! 👇
did anyone notice lipstick on his teeth at 13:39😂 love you james❤❤

Glad to see you’re bouncing back, happy holidays.
James I’m crying the amount of issues with these advent calendars
I love that yall left in the lipstick on the teeth shots lol the butter glosses always did that to my lipsticks
You clearly haven’t seen other beauty advent calendars bc MAC killed it compared to most. Also, people would’ve been irate if the single shadows were crazy colors they wouldn’t wear. This screams “I have all the makeup I need so I’m too picky. “

absolutely not. MAC had shit products don’t even lie to urself, I have the makeup revolution advent calendar and not only was it heaps cheaper, the products are actually good and useable 💀 MAC had not only like 20 lipsticks in the most horrific shades ever, but the single shadows were the ugliest shades to ever exist 🤣 so many beauty advent calendars this year had actual good products that people like unlike MAC with their ridiculously expensive advent calendar 💀💀😂

Yesstyle beauty advent calendar is so worth it for $165. Everything is full sized and the stuff isn't even small. You get korean skincare and makeup also. Their skincare is really good.
imagine a painted 2024 beauty advent calendar by James ❤
You should do a video using only the make up you received in the advent calendar!
Omg James next Christmas you have to make a avent calendar! Yourself that has all the cute create paints and new products your coming out with ! Love you❤❤
I have the M.A.C advent calendar this year. And love the full size products, but find my self hoping that it is not gonna be another lipstick since I don’t use them often enough. What would be absolutely amazing with M.A.C or other brands with a store, gave you the a wishlist of products you could choose from maybe 50 different products including foundations and other “skin tone” products. And you would have to wish for 35 diffent produkts so the element of surprice is stille there. A employee from the store can then put your advent calender togethers for you in a advent calender box. 😍
You should make you own Christmas advent calendar 😮

James…how do I tell you…..you had your red lipstick on your teeth throughout the video😭
Please James a full face using wet brushes ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤❤
James! I loveeeee your videos keep going queen 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
The thing for the Mac one is people that aren't makeup artists would really like it because it is something different for them unlike him that uses more crazier things.
That Saks one was a total bust!!!! Wow. But the snowflakes on your face, kinda adorable. ❤
You should do a make up look with the items you received out of each calendar to give people inspiration who paid for the calender and love your videos James you are so entertaining ❤
“Oh my God me missing a thumb nail.”😭😭me
James never fails to entertain us Keep up the Great work I hope you get to 25M Subs and pls heart this
To be honest, if it was me opening those advent calendars, I would be more than grateful what was in them. Especially for someone who doesn’t really dabble in color. I obviously don’t have as much experience in make up as you, but I would be pretty excited especially the one with the samples I love tiny samples.
The lipstick on his teeth @13:36 is sending me
i would’ve loved if james would have unboxed all of the products barefaced and then done his makeup with the products!!

James since you didnt try all the products out or many of them you should give us an early Christmas present and make a video trying the products out!!
The one you rated the highest was actually my least favourite. I hate sample/travel sizes. They tend to cost close to half the price of the full size with 1/5 the product. Companies use this to inflate the value of something but if you price out full sized items you’ll see those sizes are always absolute scams. I’d rather receive less overall and get real value out of what I receive
