Hey guys! I am back from Scotland! Now it is time to post an INSANE amount of advent calendar videos! Today we have the Benefit Advent Calendar for 2022 and unfortunately I think this is going to be the last year I purchase this calendar. I think if you compare last years unboxing to this one you will see why! Lets just say Sephoras repeats dont hold a candle to this one! I understand that these are some of their best sellers but having at least one or two different products to mix it up a bit would have been nice!

I have worked for Benefit Cosmetics off and on for about 15 years, and I can tell you why they don’t make eyeshadows. They didn’t sell well. They used to have them, and also a full lipstick line, but they didn’t sell well enough to keep them. They tried multiple formulations, but none did well. They even got rid of their foundations because they never sold. So, they decided to stick with what did well for them, and just expanded the color ranges.

I have a benefit eyeshadow palette and it's probably older than dirt and needs to be thrown away because I got it from my mombut I still use it from time to time. It's just kinda mid. In fact the only reason why I even still use it is because it has Galifornia in it and that's the last one I have. I'm kinda sad they discontinued that blush, the "dupe" isn't the same.

@@lmao2703 haha! I still have my benefit Dr. Feelgood balm (basically primer before primer was a thing) from 2003 😆 I'm definitely a bit of a makeup hoarder and I love the packaging. I also remember having the original Bad Gal chubby eyeliner and the boi-ing concealer in the pot you had to unscrew to open, lol.

I have the cutest little box set I got in 2004 (I think) - it's a little black hand mirror, with a pressed powder compact on the back, and a lipstick in the handle. It's meant for your evening bag, and it's one of my favorite things, in the cutest box ever, and that's the kind of thing I miss from benefit. They had that old fashioned vibe. But the thing I miss most of all is Maybe Baby. I loved it so much. You know they're charging $90 or $100 for half a bottle on Mercari. 😭

About magnets and mascara....I guess most people don't know that the main pigment used in black cosmetics is actually iron oxide. Because it contains a lot of iron, it is attracted to magnets. The theory of a magnet in the mascara wand is that as you brush on the mascara in an upward direction, the pigments are attracted to the wand and it encourages your lashes to curl.

I feel like Benefit should do small batch advent calendars sorted by brow color, since their best-selling products are for brows. I realize it’s not as cost-effective as having one calendar, but I would probably buy one if I knew I was getting my shade in a lot of the products. Plus I have dyed red hair so use auburn so my brows match, so the “neutral” shade doesn’t really work for me

@zoepeters3826 Жыл бұрын

They sell these in Boots in the UK, usually a box or a cardboard cracker. Just pick your shade and all items in the cracker are that shade.

So, aside from the advent calendar... I must say that your story about the ski lift made me smile. Not because I thought it funny, but because it brought forth a memory of my mother who passed 6 years ago. I was the person who caused her to get stuck on the ski lift. And NO, I don't know why, but you are NOT allowed to just ride around and back down. The lift we were on was really high in the air, with my poor mom stuck waaay up there. The made her pop off her ski's and then turn around and slide off the seat ..... onto a trampoline type of thing. She never went skiing again.... and was mad at me for it for a long time. But the memory made me smile. Thank you for inspiring it. Be blessed and I am hopeful that you will encounter an amazing advent calendar this year!

I bought this calendar last year and thought I might just share a perspective of someone who really enjoy it (and would repurchase, even though it's the same). You should realistically change your mascara every 3-6 months and I prefer travel sized ones because then I'm not throwing half of it away (so this is like a year supply for me)! And since I do my makeup on the go a lot, this just makes sense for me.
