How many products are repeated?
There are 7 repeated products in the advent calendar this year. Of course, with makeup advent calendars, you may find repeat product lines in different colours.
What is different to last year?
MAC has kept the metallic shine in its advent calendar but taken an opposite direction in design and colour scheme—swapping silver for gold and shifting from snowflakes to a more ornate pattern. The biggest transformation is the new tiered structure. While it’s not my favourite design for an advent calendar, it does feel festive with its Christmas tree-like appearance
My Thoughts
Increasing by £10.00 to £180.00, this year’s advent calendar from MAC has a value of £439.00. I was quite surprised to see this, as last year’s value was £485.00. With 7 repeated products, it wasn’t surprising to see so many lip products again—a theme MAC has followed in their advent calendars since 2021. Value-wise, it’s worth the price, but I personally feel underwhelmed.
