Click here helixsleep.com/alexandria for up to $200 off your Helix Sleep mattress plus two free pillows! Sleep as cozy as me and Wren! Hey guys! Its day 2 of our calendar countdown! Today we have an Ipsy Advent Calendar! I was really excited about this but unfortunately I feel like Ipsy put very little effort into this calendar. They could have offered and exclusive Item or two or done something to make the calendar feel special and not just a way to get rid of old glam bag stock! Its not the worst but it could for sure be better! Let me know what you think! Love ya💖

I learned something today, and I thought I would share it with you all in light of Alex's frustration with repeats. With Boxycharm, they apparently keep track of all the items they've ever sent you, and if you receive a duplicate within a rolling 12 month period, they will automatically give you a $6 credit (which makes sense.. 5 items for $30 is $6 each) So you basically get a freebie with every duplicate! Ipsy should take a page from Boxy.

Pro tip for the small alien you feel might erupt from your face on your wedding day! The serum acts as a decongestant, which is great - keep using it. However, if a lump is forming under the skin, start using spot patches at night. If nothing else, it will flatten it and it will be much easier to disguise with concealer/foundation on the day 🙂

This calendar actually surprised me! So much better than the Sephora calendar. I don't know if was worth $115 but I'm sure it's not a $462 value!! You are going to be a beautiful bride! Good luck with everything! Your skin is glowing, your hair looks shiny and full!! You will be perfect! Please don't work on your honeymoon!! ❤ Congratulations to you both!!

Also, oh my gosh, your wedding day this week? I remember when I was here when you first announced everything. So happy for you! Wishing you the best wedding day! Remember to breathe and drink water on your important day!

Get the pimple patches with micro needles in them!! They’re made for under the skin face goblins. There are also post pimple creams so you’ll be good to go before your wedding! Hope it’s the best day ever 😍😍

You can use lipsticks that are too saturated by dabbing it on your lips and then covering with lip balm to sheer it out 😊 Also it’s easy to sanitize lipstick so you could still give it away 😄

Totally agree! I blot my lip colour. Does no-one remember blotting? 😂 I often put a thick even coat of lip product on, leave it for a little while (a lot of them will stain the lips slightly, or maybe the colour just has a chance to sink into the top layer of skin) and then I gently blot until there is very little residue. My lips look defined and pretty, but like I don't have lipstick on.

Feeling bad for Alexandria because I know for a fact that brush is going to be in her boxycharm this month 😂😂 Love advent calendar season!

I don’t even wear makeup but I love the advent calendar content. You make it so entertaining to watch 😊

You should let your bridesmaids go through all of your extra subscription backstock 😂

I think they could have reduced their packaging by almost half, considering the sizes of the products! So excited about your wedding!!! Best wishes and lots of love to you both! Praying for safe travels, too!❤️

Ipsy is really wildin out expecting people to pay $150 bucks for the free samples sephora hands out all year 🤣 your advent calendar unboxings are fave...but I hope you didn't give Chanel a second chance after last year 🤣

For lip products that are too pigmented, I take a clear chapstick and use it as a base under the pigmented product. This helps to sheer things out and prevents my lips from drying out (which some formulas of lipstick tend to do for me) 😊❤️

Ipsy never fails to disappoint lol

the periodic breaks to prevent Tater Crimes make me so happy :)

Happy almost wedding day! I actually think this is a pretty good calendar if you don't already get ipsy. The heat brush at the end is a pretty cool "out with a bang" gift.

I thought I was having a glitch in my very recent memory like about a hour ago I could of swore I watched your video of a Ipsy advent calendar last year...then you said that you havent unboxed any ipsy calendars....but after the thousands of un-boxings anyone would forget a few especially if they are so underwhelming....but you did in fact un box this 11 months back...I knew I wasn't tripping.... But thanks for doing this... Because it helps us know what to get and what to run far far away from

Your furry boys are adorable. Hope you have the perfect wedding day and that your honeymoon is everything you've wished for in Edinburgh. xx

Best wishes on your upcoming wedding day. Advent calender season with you never fails to entertain and seeing Ren and Tater get their own advent treats just makes it that much better.

I know it’s advent calendar season and I LOVE IT. But I’m dying for a video of your holy grails you got from subscription boxes. Favorite skin care, makeup, everything! I need it! ❤😂

Honestly tho, as a gift (which is what I was raised as advent calendars being-something someone gives you, not that you get yourself), I would be really happy to receive this. …which is not something I ever really associate with Ipsy, so I think that’s pretty good.

I have never bought an advent calendar that wasnt of the chocolate variety intended for small children......but I love watching you open them and I would watch a thousand hours of unboxing for that adorable little scene at the end with your puppers opening their advent calendars too.

I LIVE for the bonus advent calendar this year ! Please keep doing this! It makes my day to see those adorable little guys ! And of course I absolutely look forward to your advent calendar unboxing’s each year! It wouldn’t be the holiday’s for me without them! Love to watch them so very much! Brings a smile to my heart 💜

Oh boy, Ipsy doesn’t disappoint in their failure! I got my Chanel Advent Calendar, yep same as last year’s with a few good things (4). I’ve already divided the items for stockings and gifts! And my husband is still shaking his head at me! I don’t blame him, not one bit. I can’t wait to see if you get the same in your’s as I did!!! I love the puppers advent calendar! ❤

Get some pimple patches! Wishing you an abundance of blessings on your wedding and marriage!❤🙏 I adore the bonus calendar bit w the dogs❤❤❤

So far I feel like the theme for the year is, "Eh, it's alright." Which, honestly is better that previous years. But that says a lot about the quality of these types of calendars.

Yayyyyy!!! I am so exited for this series! Can't wait to see how horrible they are gonna be this year 😅😅 Just rewatched the Chanel one from last year, and I am SO ready for this year 😅😂😂

Your other videos made me want an advent calendar this year 😆. Can't wait to see all the unboxing this year and if Chanel got the hint from last year.

Sometimes I wonder about ipsy and the age of their products. I received that purple Jolii lipstick back in March 2019! And the number of items in the flash sales for sale still that I've received way back in 2015 even that I see pop up is crazy. You can't tell me they restock the same items that haven't sold out in years.....😟

Girl as a local Kentuckian (Louisville) my skin has been getting really dry lately too!! But I did just purchase the Tatcha moisturizer and it has honestly helped my skin be hydrated. I will say it feels a little wet / “dewy” on your skin and sometimes leaves a film even if I only use a small amount. Which i guess that’s what the dewy in the name references but it’s not a feeling I like it seems 😂

Ipsy is the only beauty subscription I have been getting for the past 2years and I watch a LOT of their products being unboxed. And yes, I’ve seen or received every single one of these products, except for the Lord Jones lip balm.

I'm so glad I decided to wait for you to review the Ipsy calendar before I bought it myself!

If you ever read the comments, please try the Tatcha. It’s my favorite!! And the dewy cream is PERFECT for dry skin!!! I think you will love it! I prefer the water (tatcha) cream but it’s because I have combo skin, the dewy cream I think will work really well with your skin. It will change your skin for the best 😊

I have never clicked on a video so fast! I love your videos! It’s like hanging out with a good friend. Wishing you lots of love and light

I loooove the Tatcha Dewy cream it's so nice. I haven't had it in so long cuz I just cant afford it, but holy cow I do love that moisturizer so much. You only need the tiniest amount, and it's just so creamy and makes your skin so soft and Dewy. If I could afford it, it would definitely be my favorite moisturizer

So excited for this year's advent calendar, and I am loving the bonus calendar!

I love that you got an advent calendar for the dogos!

First, I received the tatcha moisturizer with a mini face wash as a sephora birthday gift. Also, I love the "bonus claendar" lol

I love these videos and seeing what's in all the Advent Calendars.

Your advent calendar season is so much fun! Thank you for doing it. 😍 What’s the deal with no recognition of Christmas?! It needs to jolly darn it!

Last year you inspired me to get the Body Shop advent calendar for this year, and so far I'm in LOVE!!

I love the Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer I use it pretty much everyday. I would definitely recommend trying it, and it smells amazing.

For the lipstick that's too pigmented - apply clear lip gloss then dab it on over top. Rub your lips together to blend. Apply lipstick to desired pigment. Also works with colored glosses. Works like a charm.

The end is the best part! So cute! 😍
