Big W shoppers have been eager to get their hands on MCoBeauty's advent calendar, but many have been left annoyed to see what you get for $59. The calendar is a 12-day calendar, meaning the products work out to be around $5 each, however, many shoppers are annoyed that every product included is a mini version of the brand's popular products, with no full-size options at all.

Jarnah McMillan, who goes by @jarnahmcmillan on TikTok, reviewed the advent calendar, which she purchased from Big W, and shared her frustrations while filming herself opening each window, saying, "I think pretty much all of these products are mini, so you aren't getting any full-sizes, which kind of sucks. But I'm still excited to see what's in here."

The items included in the advent calendar are: Mini lip oil, mini beauty blender, mini lip liner, mini black eye pencil, mini mega balm, mini scrunchie, mini hot lip plump, mini powder puff, mini glow lip balm, mini dream lip tint, mini hair and brow magic wand, mini bronzing drops.

As she opened up the powder puff, she said, "I'm kind of annoyed that this is mini, because this is an advent calendar – powder puffs, that are full size are really cheap, you could have included a full-size!"

"I don't think I would repurchase this, due to how many mini sizes there are... there could have been at least one full-size, like the lip balm or the powder puff. I just don't think it's worth $60, maybe at a slightly lower price point, McoBeauty products are good, but I don't think this is actually that good value for money."

She also pointed out that it wasn't "too bad" seeing as it worked out to be $5 per product, but her followers didn't agree.

Jarnah's followers were quick to share their thoughts on the advent calendar, with one user saying, "I love McoBeauty but this is not worth it."

"You just saved me $59," another said.

"$60 for all minis I feel isn’t worth it," a third agreed. "Like come on MCo change up the products so they aren’t all lip ones."

"I know right 😅 was maybe hoping for a mini primer or setting spray or something or even mascara," Jarnah replied.

"Definitely saved me money on this," someone else added.

"I feel like I wouldn't use half of them, and it's pretty expensive," another said.

"I have ordered one and I'm feeling a bit disappointed now," one said TikTok user said.
