Hey guys! So I probably should have just deleted this video and moved on lol It has been a pain from start to finish! The quality, color, sound, and everything about it is pretty bad and Im so sorry about that! Im going to go back to using my old camera until I can figure this thing out! Oh also I am currently surfing from extreme fatigue for some unknown reason and this video was edited while I was half asleep so Im so sorry if there are any mistakes! Anywho, let me know what you think of this calendar! Love ya💖

Ok for $300 dollars this is actually a good calendar. You get full size products and cute little bags.

I'm impressed! With all the lame Advent calendars out there it looks like Harrods hit a home run. They definitely put Chanel to shame, not a sticker or cheap plastic bracelet in sight.

The value is definitely there. $300 for this means each door is $12. I didn’t see a single item that would be less than $12 and most were significantly higher.

Skullcap is a plant, named so because the flowers supposedly look like little caps. It's supposed to help with sun damage. It definitely is NOT some freaky, weird, head bone extract, I promise!😂😂😂

'Non-Sterile' means it is not for use in a medical/surgical situation (as opposed to home use). For example, you might buy scalpel blades in a pack that are individually wrapped designed for use in crafts etc, which will be marked non-sterile. If they are for use in surgery then they will be sterilised (often by radiation) and specially packed in a tamper proof sterile wrapping. Hope that makes sense. 🖤

Okay I had to know the prices so I looked them all up. Prices pulled from Harrods whenever possible. I used the current price, several products were on sale. I also included the brand price when I could (easily) find it and it was different from the harrod listing. Enjoy! Day 1- $65 Day 2- $175 Day 3- $95 at harrods, $155 from 111 skin Day 4- $10, $40 for a 4 pack of samples Day 5- $44 at harrods, $65 from NIOD Day 6- $180- $240 depending on where you buy it (assuming I got the size right) Day 7- $38 Day 8- $89 Day 9- $17 for five treatments (if I counted correctly) Day 10- Full size 50ml is $207, no idea how big the sample size is Day 11- $48 Day 12- $58 ($29 from walmart) Day 13- $70 Day 14- $16 for a single pack Day 15- $26 Day 16- $22 Day 17- $40 Day 18- $22 or $39 (not sure which pack they are) Day 19- $63 Day 20- $92 Day 21- $37 Day 22- $61 Day 23- $130 (or $900 if you buy it from Saks 5th ave??) Day 24- $53 Day 25- $19? Tough to find an exact match for the pack Total, taking only the lower numbers and without day 10 (because I don’t know the price) is: $1470. Not bad!

Idea for the harrods bags: keep your christmas ornaments in them when you pack them away for the season.

That has got to be the most reusable Advent Calendar you’ve reviewed so far! You could refill the drawers with anything, you could even used it and the little dust bags to store ornaments. I’m a bit relieved it’s sold out so that I can’t talk myself into it. 💸

I always find it funny when YT’r apologize for the lighting, saturations, mic …..and so on. 🙃 Honey, most of us aren’t tech geeks. We don’t notice and have NO idea what you mean 🤣🤍🥰 You look beautiful!

I'm glad you didn't delete this video. It's not as bad as you think. I probably wouldn't have notice, if you hadn't said. This was a great calendar! Have a great week, and a Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all🥰💖🎄🎉🎆

I sat here and Googled everything you pulled out of the box and they did not lie about the value. I'm super impressed.

The glass skin trend is actually the trend of a very hydrated and glowy look to the point of your skin having an almost wet looking shine, not necessarily the smooth no texture look :)

Alexandria- don't worry if the creams you use from this box end up being expensive. If you like them and they work for you, figure out their active ingredients and use cheap, reputable products with those same active ingredients. Unlike makeup, the price for skincare does not correlate to efficacy. The active ingredients are cheap and the rest of the price is marketing and "prestige". I highly recommend Eucerin, CeraVe, and Cetaphil for drug store brands that work. I personally use CeraVe.

The video quality and sound quality isn’t bad. You’re good! You could read the dictionary in a bathroom where it’s super echoy, with it being lit by a single flashlight, and I’d still enjoy the video

My dad passed away last Christmas Eve, and today has been hard. I was hoping for an advent calendar video. Thank you for making me smile tonight.

The EviDens mask retails for $194. Definitely an amazing calendar considering 1 door alone is more than half of the cost of the entire thing.

I can see the valve in this calendar, especially if you’re into skincare. The Charlotte Tilbury quad is really nice. That’s an expensive item. I think the calendar is beautiful and well made. It’s definitely one of the better calendars.

As someone with oily, hooded eyelids, that Nara eyeshadow primer is a must. It’s one of the few eyeshadow primers that has actually helped my creasing/disappearing eyeshadow issues.

This is how an advent calendar should be! Macys, take notes!

I think in the Macy’s one they split the shampoo and conditioner into two doors as well, at least this one gives them to you together in one instead of taking up another spot 😅

Imo Harold'a has now become the leader in the advent calendars war! I would actually use most (if not all) of these products... 1st time for that so far!

I'm so glad it's sold out online otherwise I 100% would've spent money I don't have to get this calendar lmao. Definitely great for skincare lovers! Loving the series, and I wouldn't have noticed anything weird about the video if you hadn't mentioned it so don't worry too much!! Just glad you posted this still. :)

Just me. Counting down the days to Christmas Eve because I feel like that’s when we will see the Sephora calendar.

I was in Harrods last week but fyi for next year try the liberty’s London Calendar, the place is so much nicer than harrods and supports small brands! It’s how harrods use to be xx

This Harrods calendar brings back so many memories for me, going to Harrods at Christmas... I think this is a wonderful calendar, but I'm a skincare junkie. Just the full size Sunday Riley and Elemis would do it for me. I think that for once, you actually got a calendar that lives up to the value promise. By the way, vetiver is used in making colognes, so that's a very pricey hand cleaner.

Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) is a medicinal plant that is used for healing purposes, particularly in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It got its name due to its shape resembling that of a medieval helmet The plant is of the mint family, Lamiaceae, and ranges from blue to pink in color. This herb has been used as an alternative medicine to help reduce inflammation, provide relief from spasms, stimulate blood flow in the pelvic region, help eliminate headaches, reduce fever and induce relaxation.

I just came from the $800 Chanel Collector Advent Calendar video, and this $300 one is already better. I’m still not over the Chanel curators putting stickers for five days, which didn’t really have good variety.💀 But this calendar does put a smile on my face.

I'm always excited when she opens a box with a CT item! I live for the fancy way she says "Charlotte TilBuryyy" 😂

Finally, an advent calendar that makes some sense! I get that the general idea behind advent calendars is to have something to open each day just for fun. But these days when it's practically it's own industry, I think most consumers who are in the market for a high-end calendar would rather pay more and get incredible products than pay less and be severely disappointed (or worse, pay a lot and still be disappointed). Edit: P.S., I was SO HOPING for an epic day 25. I'll always wonder why they don't put the most costly item there! It doesn't have to be a pony. Just take the most expensive item you were already going to include and put it at the end!

Hylauronic acid can be used as an injectable agent, commonly used as lip filler. It indicates it's non-sterile because it's intended for topical use only (anything injected needs to be sterile). It's a bit silly because it's labelled as a serum, but that would be my best guess

Baobab is a tree that grows in Africa. It looks like it's upside down with 'roots' for branches, quite unique. It has edible fruits too if I remember correctly. 🖤

NO apologies needed beautiful Alexandria! Half of us don’t necessarily know what “it should look like” anyway! Lol! You always do a fabulous job & look stunning as ever! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm always happy when there is some Charlotte Tilbury in a calendar because I know we are going to get the accent! The nice thing about having a decent number of full-size products is that you can sell the ones you don't want and recoup some of your money.

I would absolutely buy this for $300. Totally worth it!

We love your addiction to advent calendars. Thank you for getting all the nice ones I cannot afford, and letting me live vicariously thru you.

Not something I'd ever buy, but the packaging and bags are already so nice. It's reusable for so many things, cute, and I'd use it for storage w no issue. And those bags and seam rip the logo and use for gift bags for kids.

I would full on keep that beauty as decoration and just refill it with advent gifts every year, that packaging is beautiful

I'm glad you didn't delete this - it was really fun to watch! Plus, this calendar was actually really good. It's expensive, but actually seemed worth it, at least for people who spend lots of $$ on skincare.

Can I just say… these videos have been the absolute highlight of my month! You’re my favorite KZfaqr and this month has been so hard for my family, but every night when I have to clean the kitchen/do the dishes I just smile and laugh along, so thank you!

The only way I keep my skin care routine going is I do it right after I brush my teeth in the morning in the evening. I take a moment to put myself in the present (sort of like meditation) and it takes me about 5 minutes. In the past I could never be consistent with it until I combined the timing with a moment to reflect after brushing my teeth. I told my friend that kept insisting she didn't have the time to give herself a moment, now she keeps up with it as well. Worth a try so I figured I would share.

The Evidens de beauté (it's sort of a word play in French but it would be translated to Evidence of Beauty) full size special mask is 50 mL and €170 so given this is 30 mL, it would be worth €102!! I thought the video was great!

If someone loves trying skincare this is the calendar for them. Holy skincare heavy box.

I love how mad you get over the slip hair scrunchies and I have ABSOLUTELY paid for these out of my own pocket 😅

I use little bags like these for loose change in my purse or for jewelry and whatnot when I travel!

Boabab is a tree found in sub-saharan Africa. Fun fact, it's actually a giant succulent. It's called the "upside down tree" due to its appearance, with it looking like roots are growing out the top. The oil is very thick and moisturising. To be fair to Harrods the slip scrunchies are actual silk and not polyester satin, so they will be more expensive and better quality.

Girl... that Augustinus Bader lip balm is $38!! I knew they were a super luxury brand (I got TEENY TINY little samples of their moisturizers from Influenster a year or 2 ago), but $38 for lip balm? Dang.

Wow! This is the single advent calendar so far that I would actually buy and use! Alas, they are sold out for the season…

I've been binge watching these advent calendar videos by Alexandria and it's getting me in the mood for Christmas

I overall really liked seeing this box and am so glad that the value is actually there for you! Not to mention you could totally repurpose the box to make a calender for yourself or someone else next year. ✌

The value is 100% there. This is probably the best value you have unboxed so far this year.

Ooo this video makes me want to get this for myself next year lol- this is how I do all my Christmas shopping. “ you know who would like this? Me!”

Yessssssss I love living vicariously through you with this Harrods advent calendar. I live in London and pre panini I’d go to Harrods at Christmas every year since I was little.

I wish this was a year round series on your channel.

That box is a really nice way to pamper yourself! I would buy that one, if I could afford it! Luxury items.

Amazing how hard you are on yourself. It's not the quality of the video but of the presenter. As soon as I saw this video, my first thought was "yay".

I love seeing Ren in your video backgrounds now! ♡

The video quality looks good! If you’re not happy with the color try adding some red or gold or purple in the background. Small colored lights or pillows will give the camera something to work with on coloring. But it really looks good already.

Probably the most beautiful advent calendar yet! Beautiful, useful content and packaging. Even the smallest products were worthy of praise, gold tubed mascara, lovely, silk scrunchies. Thank you Harrods! Finally, yay!!. Alex you don't look gray just pretty and you sound fine in this video. Actually a perfect voice clear audio

Never delete a video.....they're too much fun! Don't mind what color you turn. Nice skin care items. Awfully pricey!

Yes! I so look forward to these!❤ Hope you're having a fantastic day yourself!

Wow I’m so early!! Alexandria you’re advent calendar unboxings have became a huge tradition for me every Christmas season✨ they genuinely put me in the festive mood at this point lol, thank you so much for you’re frequent uploads I always look forward to your videos💖

I bought cedar balls for my drawers and closets and use the little bags to hold them. I also use the bags and drawers for desiccant beads. So pretty no one notices.

YOU DID HARRODS! It makes me so happyyyyyyy!

I have been checking for your videos every day. I can't get enough of this series!

There’s nothing wrong with this video and this is a really nice calendar! Thanks for sharing this with us

I'm sure a million people have commented this by now but skullcap is a plant, a type of herb. Also don't delete videos even if they don't seem perfect to you, we all enjoy them anyway, you're just a bundle of joy and we love watching them!

Here’s a tip-The Harrod’s bags are nice for wrapping your fancy ornaments 👍🏻

Yes! I'm so ready for another calendar! Can't believe we're already up to number 22.

It’s been a rough week and these advent calendars of yours makes me very happy!! I don’t want them to end 😭😩😅 Also I’m very proud of you for being continuous on your advent videos lol

As an older woman, 63, this is my actual photo used in profile pic, all these products are fantastic! I'm going to to on-line to see if it's still available. Also, that box would be great in your wardrobe as a scarf box or accessory storage box. So keep it, you never know, if you don't want it, perhaps you have a niece.

I bought that Floral Street sampler looking for a new signature scent and I fell in love with Chypre Sublime. Although they are floral based, a lot of their scents are a lot more spicy and intense than traditional old lady florals. I enjoyed it.

Merry Christmas 🎄 everyone!!!

I've been to Harrod's and you can literally spend an entire day there. ALSO, Ren is not a good boy...he is the best boy! 💕

I want this advent calendar! It’s amazing! Wow! I need everything in there immediately!😂 I love skincare!

I watch these every year you bring so much fun an joy with it.Thank you so much for bringing a smile to my face.

I personally agree with you on most of these advent calendars. I like seeing more make up products in them. I cannot figure out how people can use so many skin care products at once without having some sort of skin problems or remembering to use them all before the dates run out. I would think they would have some equal medium between skin products and makeup in the calendars. However I think its all in opinion. Their are many people that love skin care. I just have very sensitive skin so its definitely not for me. But plenty of people I know would love it. Other than that, I loved the make up pallet you got in the calendar. Very pretty! Have loved watching your advent calendar videos this year! Has been very entertaining! Thank you! :)

Sisssss, I love these videos! Your content in general is 10/10! Happy holidays girl!

I always love your commentary on everything Alex 🤣 you brighten even the Monday-est Mondays.

This is probably the best calendar so far this year! It was really skin care heavy, but so far I feel like it's been the most bang for your buck. Merry Christmas Alexandria 🎄☃️

Alex the Dr Dennis Gross peel pads are my number one favorite skincare item. You'll love them. literally a game changer in my routine - I too was scared I was going to burn my face off but its so easy to use and it says you can cut the time in half if you're super sensitive skin. I personally really enjoyed this advent. Its 100% better than some of those * cough cough* sample size calendars. Can't wait to see what's next!

5:20 in and already… this advent calendar did it right. I want one 🥺

I get so excited every time Alexandria posts a video because it’s like hanging out with my friend ♥️♥️

I have been a little overwhelmed with all I have to do this holiday and the past few days your videos have been my saving grace 🥰 even my daughter has been watching them with me. Hope you have a very amazing Christmas 🎄

This is the only one so far that actually made me want to buy it next year😂😂

The glass skin trend originated in Korea and maybe that's why you're a little baffled over it. It's not an American trend and it's not necessarily just about your skin looking "perfect--" It has a lot to do with your skin health and overall hydration.

Legitimately loved this video- forgot about any quality issues in like a second. Can’t wait to see how many calendars you make it to this year!

Out of all the calendars you have unboxed so far, this one definitely gave you more bang for your buck

I thought this one was actually pretty good! It definitely seemed to have a good value for money, there was an ok assortment of products, and you get all those cute little bags!

That is such a pretty calender! Excited to see what you got!! ☺

I have so thoroughly enjoyed these advent calendar videos and I definitely am taking note of the good ones to order next year. Thank-you!

that sunday riley cream is AMAZING! it’s one of my favourite moisturizers, and a huge jar lasts forever! i hope you like it

I think the perfume sampler on day 25 is fantastic personally; last year j got something similar as a gift for Christmas and I still have and use the perfumes (they were slightly larger samples) of course it would help if you liked floral scents!

Yay! Love these! I need you to create a advent calendar lol

This was the one advert calender that I saw the unboxing a immediately went online to buy. Sold out. Best one of the season in my opinion.

Had a crazy stressful day at work, this video was the best way to wind down tonight. I'm so glad you didn't scrap it. This advent calendar, while way out of my budget, was definitely the best so far. Lots of high value items and it's absolutely beautiful.

I had a terrible.day and I was just thinking I could use an Alexandria Advent Unboxing right about now!!

yayyy another advent calanderrrrrrr i love these videos!

I can’t believe the stuff in each box! Best calendar I have seen!

I’m happy about this one- I love skincare and this seems right up my alley.
