like retailers like space nk and cult beauty and all that stuff they are also being forced to step up their game because people are like we want better bigger and better and they are doing it that's cool their price tags are going up though um but we are still seeing some PROFANITY_TOKEN ones as well oh and i do also want to mention the mac one this year has taken a big step up from when they first started doing them yeah there's no empty sample pods oh that was ridiculous yeah i know i know this year it actually looks not too bad i still wouldn't buy it but if someone was like i really want that i'd be like i understand why but also if you're new to mac whereas we've tried a lot of mac in our time so yeah for us it's not that exciting but if you're new and you want to try different things it's like if i had a daughter and she was like mac advent calendar i'd be like this since a year i'll buy it or her because it's not it's not trash yeah um you won't find any PROFANITY_TOKEN weird stickers or PROFANITY_TOKEN in there which is really good yeah you mentioned charlotte tilbury yes um that is actually where i think advent calendars are brands are starting to feel the pressure with advent calendars because they are so expensive uh consumers are very willing to complain if it's not up to standard and what i noticed with the charlotte tilbury advent calendar this year compared to last year is there exactly the PROFANITY_TOKEN same thing some slight color changes in the products and i feel like that's where people are gonna look at it and go no sorry i'm not good enough and you darling no darling no you just won't get the people buying them or you won't get like the repeat purchases or you will have people complaining yeah so all of the above yeah yeah and i think like with advent calendars because i keep an eye on them every year and i'm seeing them sort of evolve i think they're coming a long way i do think that there is a danger of it becoming out of control though in a couple of years so it'll be like the NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN advent calendar the NUMBER_TOKEN million advent calendar day NUMBER_TOKEN is a new house like a new tesla yeah yeah so i i see it getting out of control but um in the beauty sphere this year i do feel like a lot of brands really picked up the game with them so that's good i'm happy about that that's good all right guys so that is it for our little holiday wine tea time um a little bit different to previous years but feel free to touch on uh any of the categories that we discussed yeah in this video let us know your thoughts if you've got you know particular collections that you're excited about or what you bought yeah what you bought or you recommend to people if you're surprised that something isn't out there yet or you're waiting for something let us know because i'm sure you know we're sitting here going where are the hourglass lipsticks i'm sure there are so many people watching this that are like oh yeah where's the blah from blah brand where's the limited edition lime crime glitter hair yeah where is
