Shopper Reviews and Packaging Notes
Shoppers have praised the value, with one writing: "A fantastic 12 day calendar! So many of my top K-beauty favourites at such a bargain. I doubt I’ll keep it to open it December! The value for money with this is bonkers." Another said: "Great value. Amazing value! So good to find a good quality 12 day advent calendar and products I will actually use. The boxes are numbered but subtley. I prefer a bag I can reuse rather than extra package that would be just end up in the bin!"
However, the packaging differs from traditional calendars, with items in numbered boxes inside a bag. One shopper noted: "Very disappointing packaging. Comes in a sheer bag, the boxes are all jumbled up and you have to really look to spot the numbers. A couple of boxes were partially opened."
