Reposted as price is substantially lower than original post
CamelCamelCamel.
I saw the removed greyed out post. Why nuke it?
Mods don't want OzBargainers to look beautiful
Is it a sample collection? I don't think it is worth for 670 dollars.
not even worth $50, just sample sized products
Every time you get a free cookbook or some item they always say something insane like $50 value, probably for tax write off too, massively inflated.
The FOREO LUNA brush is $100 anyways so essentially everything else is free!
"worth"
Name checks out.
Paid $109 a few days ago.
It seems pretty good TBH
Same, at or around this price with the Foreo accessory as others have mentioned, it’s not bad value
Bought this for the missus and I think she'll like it
Starts off with a bang with the brush with an RRP > purchase price
However some of the later items aren't overly thrilling - Deep cleansing strips #22 and foot peel #24
I think they could have left something pretty nice for #24 to end on a bang
I’m bummed it’s dipped in price AFTER I bought it. I bought one last year and loved it, got one this year early because I was worried it would sell out.
A lot of advent calendars are outrageously priced or all samples. I can’t speak for all of this years yet but I found last year to be a nice mix of makeup, skincare, hair, beauty tools, etc.
The box itself is super cute and can be repurposed easily.
Thanks OP
I've heard alot of people mention this years isn't as good as previous years so it hasn't sold out on the first day of release. for $99 maybe a bit better, but definitely wasn't worth the price hike to $149.
Bought for the misso when it was 150$. She was pretty happy with it and added some products to her daily facial routine. Bought another one last night. My Mrs seemed to the like the Avene serum, the Waleda facial cream and the grown alchemist night cream the forea face exfoliating thing and the natio hand cream. Those alone are fairly expensive individually on Amazon.
Purchased, Thanks OP. Have been interested in trying the Foreo, the extras are a bonus!
Thanks OP, was disappointed when this was listed for $150 after buying last year for much less.
This should be valid for the $5 bonus Amazon cash back from shopback?
A lot of these are drugstore items which are regularly half price at almost every store, so their real value is less (IMO anyway)
Spewing I locked in early at full price… Does Amazon do a goodwill credit or something similar by any chance?
Unfortunately not. I have been in contact with them this morning. I bought mine beginning of October, thought I'm being smart this year and get things sorted early😅.
Anyways they won't honour the new price and refund the difference. I told them I will return the calendar and immediately buy the new one. They said ok and even created the return label for me.
That doesn't make any sense to me, they had to pay 3x express shipping and I get my money back anyways.
Try complaining that this is bad for the environment and ask to escalate to a supervisor. These large tech companies love to be progressive and if you escalate enough surely you will reach someone that understands needlessly shipping items back and forth is not what they should be doing.
I thought about that to but than I would be wasting my time for their stupidity.
Could not get them to budge on price match, even just as Amazon credit. However return and repurchase was no issue. Daft.
Edit. Return cost was $7.
If you don't value the foreo thing, which has a fair number of bad reviews as well, there still isn't really any value here. So it comes down to if you like the brush, this is a decent bargain. But if the brush isn't something you value at that price, probably not worth it.
There are 23 other items excluding the brush - most are worth well over $5 each. Some as much as $20 each. So if you like half of the remaining items its still pretty good.
Ours arrived today and the missus wants to crack box 1 now but I told her to wait till tomorrow (1 Dec)
I do agree that it aint worth the advertised $670
I posted this a few days ago then removed it :P
