👀👀 ❤PATTI HERE....I WAS NOT ABLE TO MONITOR THIS VIDEO WHEN IT WENT LIVE ON SUNDAY. I'VE BEEN HAVING COMPUTER ISSUES AND DID NOT REALIZE THE ENTIRE VIDEO DID NOT RENDER AND UPLOAD TO RUclips. I NOTICED MANY OF YOU MENTIONED IT IN THE COMMENTS. IT STOPPED WHERE I LEFT OFF TALKING ABOUT THE FAIRY LIGHTS. I HAVE A FAVORITES VIDEO NEXT AND WILL TALK ABOUT WHAT I THINK ABOUT THEM VS THE ONES I PURCHASED FROM HSN. xo patti
I bought these lights from a Facebook ad for my garden. I do want more, so good to know HSN has them. Anxious to hear what you say about the ones you bought. Mine work great at night, and look good. They are cheap looking during the day but I have nothing to compare them to.
Thank you, beautiful Patti, for your video. I love those fairy lights. I’m anxious to hear any further comments you have about Temu. So far, I feel as you do.
OK thanks for info - I hadn’t seen the other comments. As far as Temu goes they seem like copies of products where the originators have put money, design and time into producing quality products. To just rip off others designs with cheaply sourced materials and poorly paid workers just seems wrong on so many levels. I often wonder if it isn’t a way to launder money and sell credit card info to other nefarious entities.
I hope everyone recognizes 90% of amazon store merchandise is made through factories in CHINA, lately i have realized 90% of online stores are made in underpaid factor❤
Just about all your discount stores&Amazon are buying from the same places&charges different prices All product TJs marsh&even walmart must lable made in-Pakistan very familiar also
The difference in products from China sold in stores is that many imported items require that a tariff is paid on the import. It doesn’t change the forced labor situation, but it does help give US manufacturers some equality.
Pattie you are the most beautiful and most interesting 79 year old I’ve ever seen! You just have that charm and charisma that make your videos a joy to watch! Keep ‘em coming 🌹🌹🌹
You spoke my thoughts about TEMU about Labor conditions I try to go to thrift stores ,garage sales and estate sales to cut back on my buying new from China. I can find too many lovely items at these locations that keep me from needing to go to box and chain stores. Advertising make us “want” so much more that we really don’t “need” I think about our garbage disposal sites! Seriously a major problem. BTY… I love shopping too but…my conscience 🤷♀️
I agree. Anyone who's ever walked into a consignment or thrift store knows the wonderful items you can find there. Some even new with tags! Our planet doesn't need more fast fashion ending up in landfills. Just my humble opinion.
I love thrift store and much rather shop them also but ordering online is so convenient for young mothers or people that are home bound for some reason or another. I’ve seen the exact same thing on Temu as Amazon for far less. Maybe if we keep shopping at places like Temu, the US will quit charging us an arm and a leg for everything!
I love the thrift stores. Have found so many items good brand names. Just bring them home and clean them thoroughly. That is where you save your money.
As a senior citizen , things in the USA costs have gone out of sight. Even Goodwill, Thrift stores are getting why out of sight. Need to cut cost somewhere. Sorry that’s the way it is today.
I echo Michelle's concern about our environment and purchasing gently used items from consignment stores, thrift shops, etc. In fact, most of us probably have a lot in our own closets or drawers that we need to revisit and re-style.
Love thrifting and consignments..recycle products u can see and hold and buy..not anything from China will help us now except quit giving them more than they already get from us while the make their armies stronger to destroy us ..wake up
I am angry because someone got hold of my debit card and used it on Temu. I have no idea how, but they charged $135. It's been a month and Temu still won't give it back. I had to get a new card, of course. I had it in my possession all the time and have never even been on their website. You make a good point about China. What makes me mad is because we even get most of our drugs for prescriptions from there. We need to make our own here in the USA so we won't have to depend on China!!!
The USA owes China so much darn money, it is unreal. We will never be able to ''break up'' with them. I'm sorry you were taken advantage of, and were the victim of thievery.
I would talk to my bank for sure...this has happened to me with other websites. Recently my daughter's identity was stolen and it's been a nightmare! patti
FYI...I did what you suggested ...I ordered a few things to see. Their products are not great quality from my experience. A top I bought the sewing was just bad and the fabric was cheap. Unless you are buying little things...hair clips were pretty but otherwise I don't think I will buy again.
I have purchased many 925. Sterling silver earrings that I would have never found in a Brick and mortar store they are made very well and quite unusual and exactly what I was looking for at an unbelievable low price.
Patti - Happy Mother's Day! Much respect for the way you explain your decision making process. I believe that is one of the many reasons you appeal to so many people - you are genuine, approachable, kind, non-judgmental, gorgeous ... and so much more. You could easily wear the last set of jewelry you wore in the video to dinner on a cruise and be fabulous! I never take my best jewelry on cruises, it's just too risky. (The safes in the cabins and hotels are easily hacked and of course Maintenance staff have a bypass code.) In a previous video you discussed your toothbrush and included a link. I ordered it and it is everything you said and more, my teeth feel like I had a professional cleaning. Your stamp-of-approval was well-deserved. I also ordered earrings you wore from JTV. They are not diamonds but they are gorgeous! Thank you for your honesty, integrity and for sharing your journey.
I live in UK Pattie and I try my upmost not to buy anything made in China on principle. Sometimes it is not possible but I always look to see where it is made.

I always said “you get what u pay for” and sometimes u help support bad things with that savings. Stuff way be cheaper but I’d just rather not support Temu and others like it. Thx for making this video. Some stuff just needs to be said ❤
Thank you for brining the unaccaptable conditions under which people in other areas have to work into your dialogue. And ,as you point out, this is a fact not only for TEMU but many stores (online and other) also. Money, power, greed are the downfall for any society - and we are asked to live our lives loving our neighbor. So, unless we can demand (through the pocket book) changes in working conditions for ALL, we need to change our habits.
I am very careful about where I use my debit card and I certainly wouldn’t feel safe using it with Temu. I don’t need anything they have to offer that’s worth taking a chance with my identity or money. Thanks for the heads-up. This is the first I’ve heard of this business.
I buy heaps of Temu I mean heaps such amazing value and NEVER had a problem - I do not work for Temu or anywhere else just letting you know they're safe !
True for me with a number of things. Designers and high end stores buy their stuff, unlabeled, from factories in China and put their labels in them. They do it all the time.
You have the best videos. So glad you shared your thoughts with us about Temu. So many RUclipsrs have jumped on the Temu train. I have some of the same questions and concerns you’ve expressed today. Time will tell if Temu can sustain its popularity.
I am so glad you posted this video! SHEIN is another one that exploits their labor force for the benefit of western societies! Women in Central and South America plantations are similarly exploited (allowed only two bathroom breaks a day) so we may enjoy flowers, fruits and vegetables off season, all year long.
Exactly! I would never help Shein do to this citizens the same thing I’ve come to know about Temu. These places are counting on our desire for low prices. In these cases there is a ‘ high price’ to pay for their strangely low prices. 👍
@@Sunny-be1wg - it's just plain sinful what these countries are doing to their people with working them long hours for such low wages. I will not support those countries.
I don't think folks really understand the issue fully. Just because a retailer is charging you a higher price for something does not mean that their suppliers have any better labor conditions. The price you pay for something is no indication of how the labor force making that product was treated. It's actually worse that most retailers in America are sourcing their items from the SAME factories in China and charging a ridiculous markup. At least Shein and Temu are not charging that crazy mark-up. Please don't be fooled because Nordstrom charges more! 😉
@@pcakes122 I think most people understand the issues of quality products and inferior products. Additionally it’s not difficult to research the working/ living conditions of a country etc. My friends first order from Temu came yesterday. She described it as “ junk”. I believe the majority of shoppers in this country know the level of quality, lifecycle etc of an item. We love a bargain but not at the cost of good material, construction etc.
@@pcakes122 I check the source of the product and won’t buy thins from China. I sometimes don’t get what I want or need; however, my moral compass is more important to me that a shirt or pair of shoes. I wish more people thought like this.
I’m older and recently moved into a cottage and I did not have a lot of the silly little odds and ends. I needed to fix and repair things. Temu has been a wonderful resource especially for things. I would only use a couple times. I’ve also ordered a lot of things for gardening that cost 10 times as much here like Velcro ties for my tomatoes. My son is going to cut down a sumac tree and couple of other 3 inch stumps for me and we didn’t have a saw. I was able to get a fabulous one for seven dollars from Temu and after that will probably never use it. I have not had the problems with ordering that I hear people talk about and I order such cheap things that I don’t even waste my time sending them back, not that I’ve had to. Only once something didn’t come and I notified them and they credited me so I’ve been very happy with Temu for my needs . I certainly wouldn’t order jewelry or clothes but for a little odds and ends around the house they’ve been wonderful. I don’t mind ordering from China because I think I’m ordering from the little man who is struggling to make it and my not ordering is not going to help them at all. Everything we buy practically is from China now. We have made them wealthy and it’s our fault. Hurting the little man is going to have no effect on that.
Can you please tell us the brand & color of your lipstick. You wear it in many of your videos, but I have never been able to catch one where you say what color of lipstick you are wearing. It is such a pretty dark pink with a shine. I just love it!
Hi Patty, I want to tell you that you truly light up my day. I just love you to pieces and you always make me feel so much better than I did before I watched you. Many Blessings to you. By the way, I haven't purchased anything from TEMU.
We all want cheap cheap cheap!I just have to wonder at what cost ?I guess I would like to see things made well by people that are paid well. I don’t think that exists anymore.
Thank you for this video. You look wonderful. Temu sends a lot of advertising. So I am glad that you are doing this. My adult children tell me that it's like Wish and their items. I have seen videos with ladies who order clothing and shoes etc. and like the items. Good to see you. You look very good.😊❤
I love TEMU, I have had some failures, but my money was refunded without having to send it back, Their clothes are awesome, very well made and the fit is perfect
I personally love Temu. I have been very impressed with what I have gotten. Granted some things are cheaply made but the bulk of my purchases have been really good. I purchased a brush straightener for less then 6 or 7 dollars and another influencer I followed purchased the same thing but at a much higher price. Temu may not be for everyone but I have been very happy with this company.
Do you have any idea what chemicals are in the products you are buying and whether or not they are even safe to use? For all you know they could be full of toxic chemicals. But as long as you save a few bucks, all is good, right?
@@joyfurnish8412 You should. On a product label, cosmetic ingredients must be listed with their International Nomenclature of Cosmetics Ingredient names. I would be very interested to know what these knock off brands have listed.....
Have ya'll heard.. some news outlets have mentioned / warning shopping with Temu. Some of the people are now having serious bank accounts issues along & with their personal information being stolen & misused. Its a scary situation now days.
I love the rose and pearl earl earrings. They look lovely on you. I order from Temu all the time. I'm not always happy but oftentimes I am. I buy gifts from them often...love your videos! 17:00
Hi Patti, I love your videos and your style! I have just learned from a friend that Temu is not a trustworthy company. I can’t put everything I learned on here because I don’t want your Chanel taken down. You are on the right track to be skeptical. Trust your gut!
I’ve been following a few RUclipsrs and I’ve been buying from Temu before I noticed they were doing Temu hauls BUT finally I found someone who’s closer in age to me!!! You’re the first “older” woman I’ve found on RUclips!! I think you’ve got a new subscriber!!! I enjoyed listening to you. I’m going to look for the wig video-I’ve had super thick hair my whole life but now I’m getting bald on top in front-I wear a little piece-I may need a full wig soon. Nice to see someone older on here! By the way I’m 67!
I would wear the large multicolored earring as a brooch! I, too, have reservations about Temu. I have ordered one time. I love making junk journals and all I ordered were for journal making. Everything was decent quality. However, some of the scrapbooking papers Temu is selling are copies from other name brand paper companies. That bothers me.
Patti, I just have to say that you are just a beautiful, lady-like, charming woman. I enjoy just watching you and listening to you talk and it feels like you are sitting in my living room just having a girl talk. I will be 75 in November so can completely appreciate all of these things about you. You are definitely my "cup of tea" so to speak. This morning, I watched your bareMinerals video. I had used barMinerals years ago but, when the wrinkles on my face began to collect my Ready Foundation, I went to some sort of liquid foundation I can't even remember. You showed the new things bareMinerals brand has and I bought quite a bit of what you showed in your video - online at Ulta. Am really looking forward to receiving and trying it all on. Thank you!!! ♥Kathleen
Hi Patti 🌷 I try my best to not buy from China . I will not buy from Temu or Shen & try to look where products are made ...yes, sometimes things do slip through that are made in China ...but I'm not happy about it 😢😢.. However, I make a conscious effort . Happy Mother's Day ❤
I’m very fed up with China and it’s tentacles reaching into everything. Putting that aside, the one thing I didn’t like was the sunflower earrings and necklace. The rest weren’t too bad. I liked the broach a lot! You look beautiful by the way but you always do💕👼🏻
I am a retired 68 year old. I need to stretch my money out. Yes, I ordered from Temu. I ordered a gorgeous necklace, a gorgeous skirt, a pair of shoes, mascara and pantyhose. I never had to leave my house. I’m so happy with my things.
I would love to find more American companies. I feel like everything is made in China. Amazon, SHEIN, Zulily, a lot of the stuff on eBay. Almost all of our appliances. Our phones. It’s disturbing. I wish it was easier to find items actually made in America :-(
You are an absolute doll! I wish I could talk to you everyday!It makes my day everytime I watch your channel! You are beautiful inside and out!! God Bless! Love & Light❤
I seen a documentary about the shein factories in China and I will never buy from them again. The staff work horrendous hours 6 days week and the conditions are sad!!! It opened my eyes and never again.
I hate to say this Pattie but I like all the jewelry you’ve shown. As much as we like to change our outfits it’s nice to change our accessories also. You go girl!
Well, I have been using Temu for at least 8 mos. The quality of what I have ordered has 90% of the time been great. I don't have much mo ey, so this has been wonderful. Customer service has also been terrific.
Maybe buy items Made in America. Quality vs Quantity and no child slave labor involved. Buy American and vote for a return to pride and patriotism in 2024. We only get one more chance or our country will be owned by China.
We spend the winters in Naples and it’s so happens that two ladies that I follow on RUclips live in Naples and I met both of them for lunch on separate occasions. one of them two times and the other one once. It was a lot of fun.
Thoroughly enjoying your vlog Pattie. Thank you. I’ve bought only twice from Temu arrived within a week and okay but I was warned by several members of my family about people stealing card details etc so no more Temu for me closed down my account. ❤
You are just a breath of fresh air! You had me laughing and giggling just listening to you. You are hilarious. I love how you talk to us like we are lifetime friends.
I've seen many RUclips videos comparing products with Temu items. Hands down, the overwhelming constant was that buying quality is the smartest way to go. while many of the products looked just like the original but the quality was questionable.
I've only ordered from TEMU once with no problems. Not sure I'll order again. The pin does look vintage. My mom passed away over 50 years ago and I have her pins which I love and wear and your green pin would fit right in with my mom's pins.
Hi Patti, thank you for doing this review, your honest opinion is much appreciated. You are one of the few that is not all this company, nearly all the reviews are very much in the vane of being super duper and worth the money, as you said I am very dubious about how it can be so inexpensive and free shipping. It really does seem too good to be true. Please take care and stay safe.
My grandson coerced me to try Temu. I was very my disappointed. The items had a horrible chemical smell. I ordered drawer organizers and I had to take them outside for a week before I could bring them in the house. Patti, I love your eyeshadow. You didn’t mention that in your comments.
loved meeting you on your video. i have brought a lot of items from TUBE not happy with a lot of the stuff i got,the cloths i would not buy again as they are not what you see on there site.the material is very poor quilety. and i got diffrent colours to what i ordered. ilve in australia so we wont meet at any stores but you are just the kind of a lady i would loved to have met.
I've gotten a few things from temu. All was ok. Returned once and free shipping even on return. But quality was crummy on the shoes I ordered. Other stuff was ok. I tend to order odd stuff cuz of prices so I'm not looking at their stuff anymore. I know viewers enjoy the hauls. But I do get tired of people sponsoring companies. I tend to skip over thise videos. Love you Patti
I live in south Florida and our local news put out a warning to be careful about downloading their app onto your cell phone or your pc for that matter because it is a Chinese company and they suspect they can download your personal information and they said especially do not charge your phone on your work computer if you have that app is on your cell phone if you work for a company that might information on their computer they may be interested in. I have not purchased anything from them and don't intend to, but I have purchased similar products from Amazon that perform the same function from another company which comes from China anyway
I feel the same way about TEMU and don’t even watch the videos of favorite RUclipsrs but I knew you would give your honest opinion Patti. To me it looks like a bunch of really cheap junk and I’m not interested. I try to purchase from USA but will also buy from Vietnam and India. Anywhere but China and it’s really hard to do that but it does influence my decision.
Patty, to be honest, the “Gold” set reminds me of vintage Foil jewelry and this version is very attractive on you. Given the right outfit, it would look great on you. I would say it looks more like a reflective shiny yellow color, which to me, looks more acceptable than an attempt at being gold. I liked in on you. I could see it presenting on black, navy blue or royal blue, very well. The silver version, I see presenting very well on pure white.
Hello Patti, I just found your Chanel and enjoyed watching a couple of your videos. I started ordering from Tenu about 6 months ago. Ice had a good experience with them and can't complain. I work in a major department store, and I can tell you that some of the items sold on Temu are in my store. For the price that I pay, I can't complain, I've ordered from Amazon for years, and it's mostly the same. I also use to buy on Etsy, and I can say people are selling the same items that are on Temu. For people who can afford to pay the high markups retailers put on these items, it's a great alternative. Please remember the price you're paying for these items. Temu has good customer service and return policy.
I like them! I bought my summer wardrobe from them! Cute outfits, some two piece, dresses, etc. Amazon has a lot of the same items for more money! I bought a few jewelry items and I have to admit I was pleased. So far a couple of things came broken but they were so cheap wasn't worth returning! I bought kitchen gadgets that I use often and love them. I have no complaints with them! I'm glad they are giving Amazon some competition, Amazon caused a lot of stores to close!
Great video on Temu Patti! The very last part was cut off when you started talking about the fairy lights. Oh well, we got the main idea. Anyway, I’m a bit afraid of TEMU for many reasons. I’ve heard it said that it’s just another way for the Chinese to track our information and infiltrate our bank accounts, etc. I ordered from them and received some fairly decent stuff, but then I deleted it. These websites from China, like TikTok and Temu are scary to me. Idk, maybe I’m too paranoid, but like you said I’d hate to think child laborers are working got nothing making trinkets for Americans to buy, then throw to the side. I kind of liked the necklace and earrings though. On camera, they looked great with your top! Keep up the interesting work and see you soon!❤
Temu will pay for return shipping per order.. that mean if you want to return 4 item from one order you must do it the same time to get the free return on all four items...
I don't get why she keeps saying returns,you pay shipping. I have ordered several times and had to send several things back and I have never paid for shipping. And some returns i was told to keep or donate and got my money back. Where do people think the stuff from Walmart ,target, and dollar stores come from.
I’ve just started ordering from Temu, I’m waiting for my second delivery. I was happy with the first order. These days with everything costing so much in the US, it’s no wonder that people have to look to sites like Temu. By the way your makeup looks beautiful. You didn’t mention what foundation you’re wearing?
I Love Temu!!! I've got plenty of orders from them. I've done MOST of my Christmas presents there last year... We had a house fire and we lost everything!!! I replaced all my clothes through them...I can't afford our store prices!!! Yes, I like buying local but, the price, is my bottom line.. I haven't had to return ANYTHING!!! I got presents for ALOT of people...

The same goes for 1 dollar stores, Walmart,etc etc ..TEMU is a online dollar store, Walmart,target etc etc

Or donate. There are so many people in this country too that are doing without bare essentials..
This is how I avoid buying from China. I shop second hand…
Love thrifting and consignments..recycle products u can see and hold and buy..not anything from China will help us now except quit giving them more than they already get from us while the make their armies stronger to destroy us ..wake up
Temu and Shien. Do NOT pay entrance taxes to our country. They are exempt!
I am angry because someone got hold of my debit card and used it on Temu. I have no idea how, but they charged $135. It's been a month and Temu still won't give it back. I had to get a new card, of course. I had it in my possession all the time and have never even been on their website. You make a good point about China.

Your credit card company should refund that fraud amount.
I’m very skeptical of Temu. I feel we need to support our own countries NOT China 🤷♀️
Supporting our country by buying US made is wishful thinking. Everything we buy comes from China
Good luck with that, I can't name a single product in stores that is made in the USA!
Agree with you
Where do you think just about everything you buy in the stores come from??!
I read labels and product information like crazy to try and buy from the States. Sometimes it’s impossible but I try my best. It’s disheartening.
Patti, You are such a inspiration to me!! Thank you so much for all your work and love!!
I must also say, Patti, that I think you are a very lovely woman! You give us 60 somethings a goal to strive for!
I have purchased many 925. Sterling silver earrings that I would have never found in a Brick and mortar store they are made very well and quite unusual and exactly what I was looking for at an unbelievable low price.

I live in UK Pattie and I try my upmost not to buy anything made in China on principle. Sometimes it is not possible but I always look to see where it is made. The rest of the world are making China rich. They have nuclear weapons and one day they will not think twice about using them. I believe in trying to buy home made produce if possible. I know it is much more expensive but I try to give our own people jobs.
Hi Jean, how's your day going with you?
USA loves making 🇨🇳 rich it seems
We were cut off from the end of your video as you were talking about the fairy lights. Happy Mother Day !!
I know.
Happy Mother's Day 🌷
I saw $1 50 earrings on Temu then on Australian store for $25 even background of pic identical in both complained to Aussie store
I always said “you get what u pay for” and sometimes u help support bad things with that savings. Stuff way be cheaper but I’d just rather not support Temu and others like it. Thx for making this video. Some stuff just needs to be said ❤
Thank you for brining the unaccaptable conditions under which people in other areas have to work into your dialogue. And ,as you point out, this is a fact not only for TEMU but many stores (online and other) also. Money, power, greed are the downfall for any society - and we are asked to live our lives loving our neighbor. So, unless we can demand (through the pocket book) changes in working conditions for ALL, we need to change our habits.
I am very careful about where I use my debit card and I certainly wouldn’t feel safe using it with Temu. I don’t need anything they have to offer that’s worth taking a chance with my identity or money. Thanks for the heads-up. This is the first I’ve heard of this business.
I use PayPal, so not a problem.
I purchase prepaid gift cards to use with TEMU, and other sites. It's safe and also gives me a spending limit. Never use a Debit card online.
I buy heaps of Temu I mean heaps such amazing value and NEVER had a problem - I do not work for Temu or anywhere else just letting you know they're safe !
Someone said you are 79!! Your skin is just glowing like mine NEVER has!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!
I Have and I have ordered and I was delighted with the products.
In a major dept store yesterday, saw a blouse that was $69.99, identical to the $5.00 one I was wearing from Temu.
True for me with a number of things. Designers and high end stores buy their stuff, unlabeled, from factories in China and put their labels in them. They do it all the time.
Patti, you look lovely in that jewelery, matches your top.
You have the best videos. So glad you shared your thoughts with us about Temu. So many RUclipsrs have jumped on the Temu train. I have some of the same questions and concerns you’ve expressed today. Time will tell if Temu can sustain its popularity.
I have ordered several things & several tops. I have been happy with my purchases.
I decided to try them. Got what I ordered in one week. I was so pleased I ordered from them again!
Your makeup looks so good today ,enjoyed your show and tell. Happy Mother’s Day
I am so glad you posted this video! SHEIN is another one that exploits their labor force for the benefit of western societies! Women in Central and South America plantations are similarly exploited (allowed only two bathroom breaks a day) so we may enjoy flowers, fruits and vegetables off season, all year long.
Exactly! I would never help Shein do to this citizens the same thing I’ve come to know about Temu. These places are counting on our desire for low prices. In these cases there is a ‘ high price’ to pay for their strangely low prices. 👍
@@Sunny-be1wg - it's just plain sinful what these countries are doing to their people with working them long hours for such low wages. I will not support those countries.
I don't think folks really understand the issue fully. Just because a retailer is charging you a higher price for something does not mean that their suppliers have any better labor conditions. The price you pay for something is no indication of how the labor force making that product was treated. It's actually worse that most retailers in America are sourcing their items from the SAME factories in China and charging a ridiculous markup. At least Shein and Temu are not charging that crazy mark-up. Please don't be fooled because Nordstrom charges more! 😉
@@pcakes122 I think most people understand the issues of quality products and inferior products. Additionally it’s not difficult to research the working/ living conditions of a country etc.
My friends first order from Temu came yesterday. She described it as “ junk”.
I believe the majority of shoppers in this country know the level of quality, lifecycle etc of an item. We love a bargain but not at the cost of good material, construction etc.
@@pcakes122 I check the source of the product and won’t buy thins from China. I sometimes don’t get what I want or need; however, my moral compass is more important to me that a shirt or pair of shoes. I wish more people thought like this.
So amusing and fun to watch you. Yes, almost anything can be flattering 100 feet away in the dark. Thanks, Patty!
"Talk amongst yourselves"......you had me laughing so hard!
Could have said talk to yourself.... lol.
Patti, you make any product look appealing. You're adorable❣️
I’m older and recently moved into a cottage and I did not have a lot of the silly little odds and ends. I needed to fix and repair things. Temu has been a wonderful resource especially for things. I would only use a couple times. I’ve also ordered a lot of things for gardening that cost 10 times as much here like Velcro ties for my tomatoes. My son is going to cut down a sumac tree and couple of other 3 inch stumps for me and we didn’t have a saw. I was able to get a fabulous one for seven dollars from Temu and after that will probably never use it. I have not had the problems with ordering that I hear people talk about and I order such cheap things that I don’t even waste my time sending them back, not that I’ve had to. Only once something didn’t come and I notified them and they credited me so I’ve been very happy with Temu for my needs . I certainly wouldn’t order jewelry or clothes but for a little odds and ends around the house they’ve been wonderful. I don’t mind ordering from China because I think I’m ordering from the little man who is struggling to make it and my not ordering is not going to help them at all. Everything we buy practically is from China now. We have made them wealthy and it’s our fault. Hurting the little man is going to have no effect on that.
Can you please tell us the brand & color of your lipstick. You wear it in many of your videos, but I have never been able to catch one where you say what color of lipstick you are wearing. It is such a pretty dark pink with a shine. I just love it!
Hi Patty, I want to tell you that you truly light up my day. I just love you to pieces and you always make me feel so much better than I did before I watched you. Many Blessings to you.
By the way, I haven't purchased anything from TEMU.
Hi Kathy, how's your day going with you?
Thank you for taking a stand with who you spend your money with. If more consumers did this it would make a difference.
We all want cheap cheap cheap!I just have to wonder at what cost ?I guess I would like to see things made well by people that are paid well. I don’t think that exists anymore.
I so agree with you. I miss the days when items were made in the U SA and we’re not junk and rags. When are we going to wake up. 😢
True. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. You look wonderful. Temu sends a lot of advertising. So I am glad that you are doing this. My adult children tell me that it's like Wish and their items. I have seen videos with
ladies who order clothing and shoes etc. and like the items. Good to see you. You look very good.😊❤
I have never ordered from Temu and I’m skeptical to do so!
everything looks pretty you! You're so fun to watch!
I love Temu. Everything I have ordered has been excellent.
I love TEMU, I have had some failures, but my money was refunded without having to send it back, Their clothes are awesome, very well made and the fit is perfect
I personally love Temu. I have been very impressed with what I have gotten. Granted some things are cheaply made but the bulk of my purchases have been really good. I purchased a brush straightener for less then 6 or 7 dollars and another influencer I followed purchased the same thing but at a much higher price. Temu may not be for everyone but I have been very happy with this company.
I'm addicted and great products!!
I’m happy with Temu, you don’t have to pay for returns! And some stuff they give you credit and also tells you to keep it or give it away. 💯
Do you have any idea what chemicals are in the products you are buying and whether or not they are even safe to use? For all you know they could be full of toxic chemicals. But as long as you save a few bucks, all is good, right?
@@dianefrohwerk7494 Well, do we ever really know what are in the products we purchase?
@@joyfurnish8412 You should. On a product label, cosmetic ingredients must be listed with their International Nomenclature of Cosmetics Ingredient names. I would be very interested to know what these knock off brands have listed.....
Love the gold set on you!!!
Have ya'll heard.. some news outlets have mentioned / warning shopping with Temu. Some of the people are now having serious bank accounts issues along & with their personal information being stolen & misused. Its a scary situation now days.
I love the rose and pearl earl earrings. They look lovely on you. I order from Temu all the time. I'm not always happy but oftentimes I am. I buy gifts from them often...love your videos! 17:00
So glad you gave your honest opinion about Temu to many have not. The quality of most items just isn’t there☹️
Temu quality is the same as any other website as the price goes up so does the guality.. do not expect quality on cheap item..
The rosé earrings look great with what you are wearing.
Hi Patti, I love your videos and your style! I have just learned from a friend that Temu is not a trustworthy company. I can’t put everything I learned on here because I don’t want your Chanel taken down. You are on the right track to be skeptical. Trust your gut!
I’ve been following a few RUclipsrs and I’ve been buying from Temu before I noticed they were doing Temu hauls BUT finally I found someone who’s closer in age to me!!! You’re the first “older” woman I’ve found on RUclips!! I think you’ve got a new subscriber!!! I enjoyed listening to you. I’m going to look for the wig video-I’ve had super thick hair my whole life but now I’m getting bald on top in front-I wear a little piece-I may need a full wig soon. Nice to see someone older on here! By the way I’m 67!
It is free to return things. They send u a UPS label and u print it out. I have ordered a lot of things and it's all been good quality
I would wear the large multicolored earring as a brooch! I, too, have reservations about Temu. I have ordered one time. I love making junk journals and all I ordered were for journal making. Everything was decent quality. However, some of the scrapbooking papers Temu is selling are copies from other name brand paper companies. That bothers me.
Everything you put on looks classy! Honey the gold looks really good on you!!
Patti, I just have to say that you are just a beautiful, lady-like, charming woman. I enjoy just watching you and listening to you talk and it feels like you are sitting in my living room just having a girl talk. I will be 75 in November so can completely appreciate all of these things about you. You are definitely my "cup of tea" so to speak.
This morning, I watched your bareMinerals video. I had used barMinerals years ago but, when the wrinkles on my face began to collect my Ready Foundation, I went to some sort of liquid foundation I can't even remember. You showed the new things bareMinerals brand has and I bought quite a bit of what you showed in your video - online at Ulta. Am really looking forward to receiving and trying it all on. Thank you!!!
♥Kathleen
I see Temu everywhere online! Thanks for sharing this with us! Happy Mother’s Day 💖
Patti, You are terrific! Thank you.
I’d already decided no on Temu. Thx for review
I know this won’t be popular, but I’ve had good luck with TEMU. I need to stop going to the app. I’m out of control. Great video.
Hi Patti 🌷 I try my best to not buy from China . I will not buy from Temu or Shen & try to look where products are made ...yes, sometimes things do slip through that are made in China ...but I'm not happy about it 😢😢.. However, I make a conscious effort . Happy Mother's Day ❤
Temu was established in Pennsylvania.
Then don't buy off Amazon, Targets, Walmart n most other stores
@@summerrose4978 LoL
Patty! I am loving you! Gaudy and questionable etc. you are so much fun! I thought the sunflower set looked cute on you.
I’m very fed up with China and it’s tentacles reaching into everything. Putting that aside, the one thing I didn’t like was the sunflower earrings and necklace. The rest weren’t too bad. I liked the broach a lot! You look beautiful by the way but you always do💕👼🏻
I am a retired 68 year old. I need to stretch my money out. Yes, I ordered from Temu. I ordered a gorgeous necklace, a gorgeous skirt, a pair of shoes, mascara and pantyhose. I never had to leave my house. I’m so happy with my things.
I knew it was a company in China, so I knew then I would never order from them no matter how inexpensive these products are.
I would love to find more American companies. I feel like everything is made in China. Amazon, SHEIN, Zulily, a lot of the stuff on eBay. Almost all of our appliances. Our phones. It’s disturbing. I wish it was easier to find items actually made in America :-(
You are an absolute doll! I wish I could talk to you everyday!It makes my day everytime I watch your channel! You are beautiful inside and out!! God Bless! Love & Light❤
Happy Mother's Day, Patti! (And to all of the other mom's here, too!) 💐💕
Just stumbled upon your channel. I must say you are beautiful & your whole vibe is great. I aspire to be like you.
I seen a documentary about the shein factories in China and I will never buy from them again. The staff work horrendous hours 6 days week and the conditions are sad!!! It opened my eyes and never again.
I hate to say this Pattie but I like all the jewelry you’ve shown. As much as we like to change our outfits it’s nice to change our accessories also. You go girl!
Well, I have been using Temu for at least 8 mos. The quality of what I have ordered has 90% of the time been great. I don't have much mo ey, so this has been wonderful. Customer service has also been terrific.
Maybe buy items Made in America. Quality vs Quantity and no child slave labor involved. Buy American and vote for a return to pride and patriotism in 2024. We only get one more chance or our country will be owned by China.
Same
Same
Same here. Fast delivery and the products are great quality.
Same here
I’ve barely gotten into the Video and I’m already cracking up, LOLOLOL, you are Delightful my Friend, now back to your Video ❤️🐾 Jan & Duke
We spend the winters in Naples and it’s so happens that two ladies that I follow on RUclips live in Naples and I met both of them for lunch on separate occasions. one of them two times and the other one once. It was a lot of fun.
Hi Jill, how's your day going with you?
Thoroughly enjoying your vlog Pattie. Thank you. I’ve bought only twice from Temu arrived within a week and okay but I was warned by several members of my family about people stealing card details etc so no more Temu for me closed down my account. ❤
You are just a breath of fresh air! You had me laughing and giggling just listening to you. You are hilarious. I love how you talk to us like we are lifetime friends.
Yesss ma'am liked over the first question!
I've seen many RUclips videos comparing products with Temu items. Hands down, the overwhelming constant was that buying quality is the smartest way to go. while many of the products looked just like the original but the quality was questionable.
Greetings Patti! What happened to the rest of the video? I totally agree with you about the labor force. Love and blessings ♥️🙏
@@jeanjacobs9965 yes, I was shocked! I’ve never seen that happen before.
You look pretty in everything!
Very questionable when they can seriously hurt you.
You are a wonderful lady, I love your style. Warmest greetings from the German Black Forest ❣
I've only ordered from TEMU once with no problems. Not sure I'll order again.
The pin does look vintage. My mom passed away over 50 years ago and I have her pins which I love and wear and your green pin would fit right in with my mom's pins.
Hi Patti, thank you for doing this review, your honest opinion is much appreciated. You are one of the few that is not all this company, nearly all the reviews are very much in the vane of being super duper and worth the money, as you said I am very dubious about how it can be so inexpensive and free shipping. It really does seem too good to be true. Please take care and stay safe.
My grandson coerced me to try Temu. I was very my disappointed. The items had a horrible chemical smell. I ordered drawer organizers and I had to take them outside for a week before I could bring them in the house. Patti, I love your eyeshadow. You didn’t mention that in your comments.
Your grandson coerced you? This is a problem.
@@gracesuarez3154 maybe I should have said convinced me. He did not coerce me.
loved meeting you on your video.
i have brought a lot of items from TUBE not happy with a lot of the stuff i got,the cloths i would not buy again as they are not what you see on there site.the material is very poor quilety. and i got diffrent colours to what i ordered. ilve in australia so we wont meet at any stores but you are just the kind of a lady i would loved to have met.
I've gotten a few things from temu. All was ok. Returned once and free shipping even on return. But quality was crummy on the shoes I ordered. Other stuff was ok. I tend to order odd stuff cuz of prices so I'm not looking at their stuff anymore. I know viewers enjoy the hauls. But I do get tired of people sponsoring companies. I tend to skip over thise videos. Love you Patti
I live in south Florida and our local news put out a warning to be careful about downloading their app onto your cell phone or your pc for that matter because it is a Chinese company and they suspect they can download your personal information and they said especially do not charge your phone on your work computer if you have that app is on your cell phone if you work for a company that might information on their computer they may be interested in. I have not purchased anything from them and don't intend to, but I have purchased similar products from Amazon that perform the same function from another company which comes from China anyway
Temu is making me think, do I continue watching RUclips? I'll watch your video now as I am interested and respect your opinion
Hi Elaine, how's your day going with you?
Thank you Pattie
I feel the same way about TEMU and don’t even watch the videos of favorite RUclipsrs but I knew you would give your honest opinion Patti. To me it looks like a bunch of really cheap junk and I’m not interested. I try to purchase from USA but will also buy from Vietnam and India. Anywhere but China and it’s really hard to do that but it does influence my decision.
They want info on you. Credit card, name address,etc
You have such beautiful skin that all the colorful earrings look so nice on you!
I love you... you remind me of my sister... she loves jewelry... and it doesn't matter how cheap it is... if it's pretty, she loves it..
Pattie your makeup is on point, you look so young and beautiful for your age.
Patty, to be honest, the “Gold” set reminds me of vintage Foil jewelry and this version is very attractive on you. Given the right outfit, it would look great on you. I would say it looks more like a reflective shiny yellow color, which to me, looks more acceptable than an attempt at being gold. I liked in on you. I could see it presenting on black, navy blue or royal blue, very well. The silver version, I see presenting very well on pure white.
Hello Patti, I just found your Chanel and enjoyed watching a couple of your videos. I started ordering from Tenu about 6 months ago. Ice had a good experience with them and can't complain. I work in a major department store, and I can tell you that some of the items sold on Temu are in my store. For the price that I pay, I can't complain, I've ordered from Amazon for years, and it's mostly the same. I also use to buy on Etsy, and I can say people are selling the same items that are on Temu.
For people who can afford to pay the high markups retailers put on these items, it's a great alternative.
Please remember the price you're paying for these items.
Temu has good customer service and return policy.
I love Temu. Been buying from them since they started.
I bought many things they were fine market price..
Great review - I have been hesitant to order from Temu. Thank you from WV😊
I like them! I bought my summer wardrobe from them! Cute outfits, some two piece, dresses, etc. Amazon has a lot of the same items for more money! I bought a few jewelry items and I have to admit I was pleased. So far a couple of things came broken but they were so cheap wasn't worth returning! I bought kitchen gadgets that I use often and love them. I have no complaints with them! I'm glad they are giving Amazon some competition, Amazon caused a lot of stores to close!
So proud of you Patti. Let's go America.
Hi Rhonda, how's your day going with you?
Thanks for the thumbs up, how are you spending your spare time?
You are so beautiful! This was fun to watch. ❤
Great video on Temu Patti! The very last part was cut off when you started talking about the fairy lights. Oh well, we got the main idea. Anyway, I’m a bit afraid of TEMU for many reasons. I’ve heard it said that it’s just another way for the Chinese to track our information and infiltrate our bank accounts, etc. I ordered from them and received some fairly decent stuff, but then I deleted it. These websites from China, like TikTok and Temu are scary to me. Idk, maybe I’m too paranoid, but like you said I’d hate to think child laborers are working got nothing making trinkets for Americans to buy, then throw to the side. I kind of liked the necklace and earrings though. On camera, they looked great with your top! Keep up the interesting work and see you soon!❤
Hi Mary, how's your day going with you?
No matter what you put on, it looks gorgeous! Beautiful lady!
TEMU pays for return shipping. Also, sometimes they will issue a refund and tell you to just keep the item. This has happened to me.
Temu will pay for return shipping per order.. that mean if you want to return 4 item from one order you must do it the same time to get the free return on all four items...
You are one gorgeous woman!! Classy lady
I've ordered around 150 items from Temu and returned, "free of charge", about 70 % of the items.
I don't get why she keeps saying returns,you pay shipping. I have ordered several times and had to send several things back and I have never paid for shipping. And some returns i was told to keep or donate and got my money back. Where do people think the stuff from Walmart ,target, and dollar stores come from.
@@teenataylor4546 Me too!
Please, please share with me the eyeshadow you are wearing! I love it!
I’ve just started ordering from Temu, I’m waiting for my second delivery. I was happy with the first order. These days with everything costing so much in the US, it’s no wonder that people have to look to sites like Temu. By the way your makeup looks beautiful. You didn’t mention what foundation you’re wearing?
I Love Temu!!! I've got plenty of orders from them. I've done MOST of my Christmas presents there last year... We had a house fire and we lost everything!!! I replaced all my clothes through them...I can't afford our store prices!!! Yes, I like buying local but, the price, is my bottom line.. I haven't had to return ANYTHING!!! I got presents for ALOT of people...
Timu have just started shipping to UK I have received 3 orders from them no problems as yet
