There is a difference between hyping up a palette and getting excited about it and straight up liying about a product to make it look better than it is.. Especially if your followers are young and impressionable which are most of tiktok users.. We as beauty lover adults can tell that there are false lashes and we can detect undisclosed soponserships but 15 years olds who consume tiktok may not be able to and that is my biggest issue in this situation
I didn’t follow Makayla “religiously” but when I did see her reviews now and again I did like her opinion, cause she seemed like a genuine person. I think she made a bad choice in that review, and it has made my opinion of her lower as far as trusting what she’s saying. But I don’t rely on any single influencer for a purchase. I usually watch a lot of reviews to determine if I want to buy something. Someone who I do trust as far as complexion products is Morgan Turner. She is very honest from everything I’ve seen on her channel and she’s a makeup artist. But for eyeshadow and mascara or lip products I usually get multiple opinions. Like you, Katy, you’re honest about your experience and I appreciate that when deciding what to buy. I hope that helps ☺️
The look is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous.. I don't allow reviews to influence me, only to give me ideas of how the formula is. Mikayla lied to 14 million people, that's not okay. She's done a few things I dislike, she's too much for my taste.
She lies all the time. She just got caught this time. She just said in a video how she didn't even look for where to buy her wedding dress, she just picked a place randomly. Next dress video she said she researched them because they had nice dress styles. Lmao. It's constant with her. And she is notorious for hiding when she is paid to promote items, she hides the disclosures or makes them hardly noticeable. And don't get me started on her filters. Ugh. 🤣🤣
Yeah I think she was wrong for what she did but I'm sure she's not the first influencer to do it. She just got caught lol. I don't think there's anything wrong with your reaction to eyeshadow palettes. You genuinely love eyeshadow and it makes you happy. It makes your videos so relatable to fellow makeup lovers.
Personal taste on eyeshadow formulas and other makeup products does effect the reviews. I follow someone who really enjoys the pinky rose formula, but I think it’s lack luster, so a lot of the time it’s personal preferences. I always trust your reviews too even if we may have different tastes in eyeshadows at times. ❤
I'm not on TikTok, nor do I want to be. So I don't follow Mikayla. I'd like to hear more about this drama situation. In a review situation, I want the truth.....good or bad! I just bought this palette, but haven't used it yet.....😊 I plan to try to recreate this look. It was so beautiful! 💚 I loved seeing Sophia! She can make all the noise she wants. I loved her reaction to seeing herself in the monitor! 🤗 I always love seeing all your babies! 💚
There's a difference between you and her being excited and hyping something up. You're truly excited about it, you show you doing the looks , and most importantly you're honest and trustworthy.
I don't watch TicToc and had no idea of this mascara drama!! If she did use lash stuff, then she was very naughty. You can't deceive people. Sadly, her credibility will niw probably plummet. I must say, I love full length YT vids, shorts don't interesr me at all. Why do the bigwigs at YT think we want this type of content? YT and TicToc are very different platforms, which is great, and they need to be kept different. Sophia has such a happy, smiley manner. She's just adorable 😍 💕 (beach umbrella 🌂) 🤣🤣🤣 Love ya, 🦋🤍🦋🤍🦋🤍🦋🤍🦋
Honestly, with how LOreal had to approve the video she made, I get the feeling it was all for publicity. Because everybody is talking about it and other influencers are buying the mascara to give their honest review now and if she hadn't done that then I wouldn't have known that LOreal even made another telescopic mascara. No publicity is bad publicity if it gets people to talk about the product more.
I don’t have tik tok so I don’t follow Mikayla but I never trusted or cared for her because of a bad feeling I got when I first saw her. Then she also did some things that rubbed me the wrong way with time so this situation with the lashes confirms me not wanting to support her. I didn’t buy her collabs with Glamlite or used any of her codes because I wasn’t comfortable doing so. I think it’s good to have a healthy skepticism towards any and all reviews whether they are from small influencers, mid size channels or even large influencers because it’s possible for anyone to lie. Also a lot of the time people aren’t even intentionally deceptive but they are very biased towards a brand or collab because their friend is the owner or collab person. Or it’s an indie brand and they don’t want to say anything negative about their formula just because they are a small business. Also affiliate codes do create some level of bias because they are sources of income. Some people even stretch the truth because they don’t want to get kicked off PR lists. There’s people like you who are always fair, balances and respectful but not everyone is like that. At least all the people I watch disclose sponsorships clearly and don’t lie immensely. I watch multiple reviews, both PR and non PR, sponsored and not before making my purchasing decision. I try not to go off of just one review.
Depends! If the original palette still works well for you, no need - just being in shimmers that are similar to the revamp whenever you want to create a look. Or! You could just get a few single shimmers from any indie brand that you love and enjoy their formula that are the same color and switch it out yourself. Depending on the price of the singles and shipping, might be cheaper than buying a whole new palette
One thing that’ll put me off about an influencer more than anything is when they tell a white lie for no reason at all. It’s so ridiculous. p.s. Your baby’s freaking adorable. 😊
Sofia is so precious 🥹 My son Wyatt is going to be six months next week 😭 Time just flies by!! Also I totally agree about getting too deep about makeup, at the end of the day it’s just makeup 😆
Curious if you had any issues with the Oden's Eye new singles creasing & if so how quickly? I'm fascinated with the red one specifically but saw 2 IG post suggesting it might not hold up on my hooded eyes. I have the original Killer Purr and bet they will have the new duo chrome & shimmers as singles to upgrade🤞
I think duo-chrome is just 2 shades/shifts and multi is 3 or more. I stopped trusting influencers awhile ago. Especially when they use their community tab as a running commercial. If they really like something and link it or keep their affiliate links in their description boxes, I'm fine with that. But EVERY time ANYTHING is released and they put it in their community tab, it's obvious they are just wanting the link payout. It's annoying and I barely watch them. Or when they are applying the makeup and you can see they are struggling and then it's edited to the end result and they just love it so much. Like do they really think all of us are that stupid? So yeah, if they are posting different links all day in their community tab I stop watching. Which is sad because before they got paid for links they weren't like that. This is just my opinion and not how I feel on all links. But seriously, if someone's community tab is just a long daily commercial, I'm out. Love the look you did and the conversation!
Same. It's frustrating if community tabs turn into commercials especially when people act like they do us a favour by informing us. Often enough I saw products or brands linked that the person didn't even like or isn't interested in. And yes hyping products when you can see despite filters and all that they have issues and struggle but telling you the opposite. It's the same sometimes when products are bashed for some reason but they actually look good and seem easy enough to work with. Or compared with a supposed better product but both look exactly the same.... Sometimes I don't know what I'm even supposed to do with all that non information. Its definitely not helpful
If a mascara changes a person's life, that says way more about the person than the mascara. Nuff said. I think a person's values inform their channels and reviews. Nuff said again.
Loving the new intro look! That shimmer...yowza!! I do not follow her. I don't mesh with her personality. She is, I guess, too harsh, for my liking. I don't understand how she made it so big so early in life, but that's neither here nor there. I did see the video pop up on my news feed on google and I did watch it. Too much drama for me and I agree that her eyelashes do not look like her lashes. I don't do tik tok either. You do a great job Katie! 🏖🏖
I never watched Mikayla, but I only ever heard something about her when she's involved in drama. I'm surprised this blew up so much, because I've heard before that she isn't a good source for reviews. Maybe it's the first time she crossed over from exaggerating how good a product is to actual false advertising. I think you're doing a good job of communicating "this review is based on my preferences, but you might feel differently". For me the crucial part is a good description of the formula. Is it dry, putty, flaky? Based on those descriptions I can make up my own mind.
Being dishonest about a product really sucks! And it does make you look at that person differently. I havent been to big on her since she was having a breakdown over what people were saying about her so I messaged her about how people are hateful but she's better then that. My point if you can't respond to someone who generally showed care for you during a bad time then u don't need support from me... and I have to agree she hypes up everything I mean everything like its the best in the world and not everything u get is that great... so I see her as fake a lot... overall love the new shades and this look is so pretty and actually a you colorstory
I wish I had your eyes 👀 girl your crease line is so prominent that it looks so easy to put the eyeshadow on and it won’t be all above the crease because your able to see much better if that makes sense ❤
Imo her lying defeats the purpose of us watching beauty youtubers..I can watch those types of commercials on tv..I watch u guys for inspo and honesty..just saying..
Do you guys believe everything that is on the Internet? I don't get the outrage 🤷🏻♀️ You have been lied before in advertisements and you will be lied again. You can only trust yourself. Everyone is different. The way a product looks on an influencer is not necessarily will look the same on you.
There's just so much falsehood among top influencers these days that this issue doesn't even surprise me anymore

Love the discussions. I watch a ton of videos before deciding what I'm buying.
Your eyes came out gorgeously well 😍
Oh thank you!
Hey to Sophia. Happy 5 months to her 😍❤️
Gorgeous at the end. You always make such beauty 😍

It’s so pretty ☺️

Yeah, the way every new product is either the best thing since sliced bread or the worst product to ever be created turned me off very fast…
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m looking forward to seeing your video on her ☺️💚

⛱ Beautiful eye look!
Imo her lying defeats the purpose of us watching beauty youtubers..I can watch those types of commercials on tv..I watch u guys for inspo and honesty..just saying..

You have been lied before in advertisements and you will be lied again.
You can only trust yourself. Everyone is different. The way a product looks on an influencer is not necessarily will look the same on you.
