Belarusians are outraged: Luxvisage has released an advent calendar, but it's not available for purchase in Belarus—it can only be ordered from Russia.
The advent calendar from a domestic manufacturer is not sold in Belarusian stores. On "Wildberries" it costs about 560 rubles - in Russia it is twice as cheap.
For the second year in a row, the Belarusian cosmetics brand Luxvisage has been caught in a scandal with its advent calendar. Last year, Belarusian women were outraged by the non-standard number of windows (there were only 12, not 24-25 as is customary), as well as the fact that individually all the "gifts" of the advent cost half as much as the advent itself. By the way, it was not sold in Belarus - you had to order through "Wildberries."
This year, Luxvisage released a beautiful gift set of cosmetics in the form of a carousel. But their number is limited - some were given to Belarusian bloggers, some (50 pieces) are being raffled among subscribers. But you can't buy it.
Belarusian women found another calendar of the brand for sale - however, in the "Golden Apple" stores in Russia. The price for it ranges from 215 to 240 Belarusian rubles. The "Golden Apple" chain of stores is also in Belarus, but the calendar is not sold there.
But it was found on "Wildberries" - for as much as 560 rubles.
We decided to calculate the cost of those 12 cosmetic products that are hidden in the Luxvisage advent calendar (the one that is sold in Russia). It turned out to be only about 135 rubles.
The manufacturer commented on the situation to Onliner: they say that a beautiful advent calendar in the form of a carousel was developed specifically for a raffle in Belarus. And another one was made for the Russian "Golden Apple" on order. Whether this advent calendar will be sold in Belarusian stores of this chain, the Luxvisage representative could not answer.
Whether the company will release advent calendars for the domestic market in the future is also unknown:
"They were sold in the past and the year before last, there was no hype in sales. Maybe we will think about selling it next year," the brand explained.
Last year, advents from Luxvisage were sold only on "Wildberries."
Since the work on advent calendars starts already in the spring, it can be said for sure: Belarusians will not receive such calendars this year.
