What are your thoughts? How would you compare it to last year's?
I think that there's a perfect amount of skincare products provided, especially since the colder months are nearing and my dry skin will need that hydration boost. I've been exploring kbeauty products, so I'm excited to have something to start off with as a beginner with some popular brands and lesser-known brands listed! The neutral eyeshadows are suitable for an every day look along with the blushes and lipstick/lip tints, they're definitely my go-to shades. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with my purchase and I'm looking forward to next year's advent calendar!
You still have a chance to order! YesStyle is restocking every Wednesday at 12AM and hosting giveaways. I was fortunate enough to snatch mine on the first day of release and was on the site at exactly 12AM. The site was constantly crashing and my order wasn’t able to process until around 1:30AM. It went out of stock after I finished placing my order. Phew~
