Great scam or golden gift, what does the long-awaited Sephora Advent calendar really contain?

We must admit, the race for the Advent calendar(s) is starting earlier and earlier. The brands did not hesitate to take their most loyal customers by surprise with the premature release of these well-filled boxes. From mid-September, it was already possible to obtain a calendar! No time to list your favorites, you have to choose between giving in or waiting.

We were looking forward to it, but it arrived a little early. Like every year, the Sephora Advent calendar is THE star of social networks. “Beauty addicts” are fans and the box set doesn’t last long. This year, the first editions of the legendary box sold out in just a few hours! On the Sephora calendar. €155 for €550, I think, in value. All the videos I see are 10/10, sorry, I hope it's still available. If unfortunately this one seems to be out of stock at the moment, keep your eyes peeled! The beauty giant offers you plenty of other equally interesting calendars. And you are not safe from restocking either…

Highly anticipated by makeup aficionados, the Sephora calendar is received in two different ways: the most impatient unbox it without missing a beat while the most reasonable open a box day after day from December 1st. With an announced value of €520, the latter is sold for the modest sum of €155. Not compatible with all budgets, it is however one of the best-selling calendars on the market. But how can we explain such success? And does it really keep all its promises?

There are many “unboxing” videos on social networks. Between pocket products and large formats, the influencers reveal all the secrets of this calendar to you. Made up of 26 boxes, this pretty box contains 14 standard-sized surprises. Every day, discover makeup from your favorite brand, treatment for your hair, but also a product to add to your skincare. However, for such a sale price, it is normal to wonder if the brand really lives up to its promises. For this, we carried out our investigation. Spoiler alert, for people who want to keep a little mystery, your reading stops here. On the other hand, for the most curious, discover without further delay the exhaustive list of surprises that await you as well as their sale price:
