I recently used UCANBE's water activated face paint for a musical I was in this summer and loved them! So when these advent calendars I decided to go ahead and give it a try. With this advent calendar, you're receiving full size products which is really nice, especially for the price. Presentation-wise, the packaging is really lovely, and the boxes could actually be reused again if you open them carefully, they are that nice. Everything within the calendar can be used to create some fun wintery looks, and this would be a great gift for a teenager or someone who loves to play with makeup. I will caveat two things: 1) some of the ingredients may be problematic for some folks who are looking for clean products. Several products contain talc, mica, and glycerin, along with some others that could cause irritation or breakouts, so be sure to review them before purchasing (ETA - the Amazon listing does not contain the ingredients so you'd have to order this and review the back of the package before opening to decide if they're ok for you). 2) the entire set is not inclusive of all skin tones IMO. It's definitely designed for fairer skin tones, although some of the products may work for any skin tone. Overall, it's a fun set and would be a great gift, but check the ingredients and color palette first to make sure it's right for you! Read more

One of our granddaughters is quite enamoured with cosmetics; she likes to experiment with different products and, though she enjoys visiting stores like Sephora, she’s hesitant to spend her hard earned allowance money on items that she’s not sure she’ll like. An Advent Calendar like this gives her the opportunity to experiment with different products and colours without worrying about whether she’s “getting her money’s worth”. I’m sure she’ll have great fun playing with it over the Christmas holidays. Given her love for experimentation, I’m sure our granddaughter will be impressed with the wide assortment of items included in this set; there’s blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, highlighter, mascara, lipstick, lip scrub, and even a few simple makeup tools, some sequins, and facial stickers. I anticipate that she’ll get limited use out of the false eyelashes and eyelash curler; she’s not quite ready for that yet. With a large Christmas tree on the front cover, the calendar itself is suitably festive; it opens easily and closes securely to keep everything in place (although I wouldn’t want to drop it). Inside you will find twenty-four clearly numbered boxes each decorated with with simple, yet tasteful, seasonal objects and characters. The boxes are not in numerical order but, given the size of the numbers printed on the boxes, it’s easy to find each day’s offerings. The products included in this set are those that would likely appeal to teens and younger women, there’s a nice mix of colours and an assortment of items such as sequins, decals, and false eyelashes that they may not have previously tried. It’s nice to see that, on the back of the box, there is a comprehensive listing of the ingredients for each item. Both a “date manufactured” and “best before date” appear on the box, confirming the freshness of the contents. The set we received is good until July, 2028, however once opened the product should used within twelve months or tossed (as stated) on the package. While the make-up included in this set won’t rival the items our granddaughter pines over at Sephora, I know that she’ll enjoy experimenting with the various products included in the set; I look forward to seeing the “new look” each day brings over the holidays.

Ucanbe's 24 item/day advent Calendar is a super gift idea for any young lady. I can't wait for the season to start to see the delight on her face when she opens each day! Teens are so hard to impress. Last year's chocolate calander sparked no excitment from our teenaged GD. This year I'm excited so see her get excited. This set has so many items, eyeshadows in many colours, lip gloss, liners brushes..Glitter!! Face stickers that I know she loves!!! I'm not 100% on the false eyelashes but I know she's been wanting to try them, now will be her opportunity. The package is well presented and has some heft to it. With this being full sized items, it is a great giftable christmas item. My daughter in law thinks this is perfect for her 14yr old hard to please, Diva! Read more

I decided to open it all up just to make sure that I can give this review prior to Christmas. I am seeing it like I took one for the team, but honestly, it was pretty nice being able to open up a bunch of little gifts like it was my birthday. I will say that it did come with a lot of tubes make ups like primers and a liquid eyeshadows. But it also has a couple pallet forms of eyeshadows and blushes as well. In all it’s a great mixture and if you were thinking of getting this for like a teenage girl or just a young woman who is in need of make up in general, but doesn’t care about brand names then this is great. The makeup itself is great quality and doesn’t just fall apart or make your skin break out. The mascara actually has some great length to it and it doesn’t clump easily. The eyebrow pen is by far my absolute favorite and might actually be something that I want to seek to buy separately as a grown woman. The primer works really well for your eyeshadows or even specific concealer spots, and I loved the metallic tube eyeshadow. This would definitely make a great advent calendar for younger girls and teenagers because they wouldn’t really care about name brands or can’t complain that it isn’t namebrand when they get a free make up thing every day basically Read more
