Today we take another look at the worst beauty videos over on TikTok! I know a lot of you don't have TikTok so... I've bought the awfulness to you!
Including the dangerous world of illegal 'black henna', a nail appointment that ended in disaster, influencers being asked to lie about their sponsorships and one of the main reasons I HATE ice rollers!
I misread "illegal Shein enema" instead of henna, and the most concerning thing is that I wasn't even excessively surprised.
😂😂😂
Omg 😂😂
That would be a nightmare
@@kodamaspirit9298 this made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
As someone who's grown up in a culture that uses henna for hair and skin SHEIN henna sounds absolutely crazy to me. Although I rarely use it my mom always told me how important it is to make sure that the henna isn't "fake", and make sure to read the ingredients. She only bought henna from specific shops to avoid the fake stuff because of the dangers that come along with it.
Cool mum.
If you're going to take a risk like that at LEAST do a spot test in an inconspicuous area. I can't say I would ever put a product from one of these sites on my skin let alone my face but if I REALLY wanted to, I would test it and give it at least an hour to see if there's a reaction... Before putting it on my *face* 😭 not victim blaming, it's just an awful way to learn.
Also if you're ordering from Shein at least get their branded products. They DO sell their own stuff (Sheglam is actually really popular, a lot of people like it, couldn't tell you myself.) But I guarantee this is not one of their products. The top right corner will say "Marketplace" when it's from one of these sellers that has the same stuff that is on Temu, Amazon, etc etc. Shein at least has a reputation to protect with their own products, because their worst nightmare as a brand would be a TikTok of THAT going viral. On the other hand these random marketplace sellers just have dropshipped/private labeled stuff that they bear zero responsibility for.
It's like how Amazon has their own brand of stuff. A safer bet, the best bet being a reputable seller who deserves your money. Though I doubt either company has henna.
Also sure
@@LunarEleven I honestly think people need to just stop buying anything make up or skin related products from Shein all together. Like it is not worth the risk of damaging your skin and the stress, potential pain and cost that comes with that. The girls in the video looked like they wanted fake freckles and you can just use eyeliner, an eyebrow pencil or an actual freckle pen.
Oh my God same! Now we have a plant at home from where we take henna. It's progressively getting difficult to get the real henna
Girl made DIY nail polish remover with Pink Stuff, hydrogen peroxide, and rubbing alcohol mixed together?!??!! NOOO!!! Don’t mix chemicals together like that…EVER. Girl was a few steps away from making chemical warfare agent.
I think she actually did make a chemical agent that's banned she just didn't make chlorine gas or anything else
I was just watching the anxiety in James’s face as she was describing that concoction 😂
*mustard gas has entered the chat*
There's the dollar stores and 5 below for a reason 😔
you ever feel silly goofy and accidentally break the Geneva convention
Past nail tech here. I can tell you exactly what happened with her. Those are plastic tips that are white that are used to extend the tip. They are usually clear but you can buy colored or white ones. The reason they look awful is I'm willing to bet that she has VERY short nail beds. So when they apply the tips with glue they have to be on the nail, which if the nail bed is short ends up looking like that. French tips for nails that are very short and bitten should either be done with white acrylic or with gel polish after the extensions are done. AND they should not be that long either for short beds. You can see through them because on top of everything else they didn't build the apex up properly. It was probably a brand new nail tech that was only taught one way to do french tips.
I was thinking the same thing she had short beds and they used white tips instead of clear and painting them on I'm sure whoever did them was newer if they took as long as she said cuz a pro would have a French Panted and acrylic layered in half the time.
She did say she chewed her cuticles and her nails, so it makes sense.
May I say, I SO appreciate how every video of yours has PROPER SUBTITLES. So many videos either have no subtitles at all, have the auto-generated crappy ones or have written ones that are out of sync??? But I love how on this channel I don't need to worry about subtitles at all.
They don't disclouse because they want to seem genuine when they are actually being underhanded and greedy.
100%. It’s such a bizarre approach to me. Appear genuine by not being genuine?!
You just know that a person who genuenly loves a product wouldn't be so scared to disclose working with the brand that makes it.
@@JamesWelsh because people will literally skip the whole "ad" if there is wording that it is an AD. So I think they just do that so people will watch their videos, so more brands will see their "reach". Also, so the effort they put on the vid will not go to waste because people skip the video. 🤔
@@JamesWelsh I wonder if they get buried in the algorithm too
Hey i just wanted you to know that as someone who is hard of hearing you having accurate captions on your vids is so appreciated
I'm not hard of hearing, but sometimes I prefer to have the sound off for a VARIETY of reasons! Just goes to show how accessibility makes benefits *everyone*. I think adding accurate captions or transcripts should be the norm in av content.
@@keeahrahr3311 YES!
Her DIY nail polish remover???? Girl what, that made my jaw DROPPPP
fr like just use nail polish remover, cotton buds and foils like a normal person 😭
Nail polish remover is a dollar at most department stores. It’s not worth making you own 😵💫
Right? Just go to the store!
Im still so sad that Tati was the "i never take sponsorships because people wont trust me" girl for a decade, then she switched up and is now doing undisclosed affiliate links.
It makes me sad too because I thought she was genuine. It’s one thing if she takes sponsorships and discloses them (if she really likes something) but it’s another to lie. After seeing her tik tok lives I unfollowed after years of supporting her. She clearly doesn’t care about what she’s promoting, she just wants a paycheck and I don’t want to support someone like that. If I wanted the shopping channel I’d follow Mikayla.
Even back then she was doing undisclosed ads and deals behind closed doors. It's part of the reason she got in so deep with the wrong crowd lol
Have you seen her shilling on tiktok live? It felt so weird to me, like a totally different person. It was giving QVC instead of recs.
Ice roller burn looks like what happens when you lick a metal pole in the winter
I think that’s what happened to her 😭
I got Dumb And Dumber vibes straight away too!
Yeah her face had to have been wet
That's basically what it is 💀😭
yeah pretty much reminded me of that one video that a guy had his tongue stuck to the pole
Henna - legit stuff - will be either brown (pretty dark but not black), Red, or "blonde" (it's some of the parts of the plant that make a good conditioner but doesn't carry color). There is a pretty interesting mixing the prep.
That girl actually answered like a pro to an email asking her to scam and lie to her viewers?
I think my answer would've been
"Hello, this is bad practice and not allowed by most laws, so no. Kind regards"
Haha yeah mine would’ve been more like…hi IM GOING TO EXPOSE YOU
@@JamesWelsh yeah that would have been a pretty quick "bestie i'm forwarding this to the ftc good luck"
"No thankyou! That's hella unprofessional and illegal and I'll be forwarding this to the FTC with a list of everyone I've seen promoting your product without saying it's an add!"
@@Steampunkfox143 You aren't wrong, but the phrase "Hella unprofessional" is hilarious

So, here's the thing many people don't understand about sunblock is even spray on is supposed to be rubbed in and spready evenly onto your skin. The micro droplets aren't a full, even coating unless you're spraying so much it's noticeably wet, and even then, you want to make sure you aren't missing ANY WHERE. I've seen so many burns from people just spraying and not rubbing it in, including my own before I knew better. I have dry skin on my body, so I didn't want to rub it in and have it get all icky, so I thought just a heavy spray would be effective. I used the same brand in a cream on my face. ...my face was fine, my whole upper body was covered in 2nd degree burns and I had to have the blisters drained surgically because they would get 2 inches high and then burst open otherwise. It was terrible. My dermatologist said they see lots of people getting burns on their backs and stomachs because their aerosol sunblock sprayed unevenly and left swaths unprotected. People know you're supposed to glob on liquid sunblock but then they think aerosol is magic and applies perfectly and evenly in a few quick swipes. You still have to rub it around!
That must have been awful for you, I'm so sorry you had to go through that! Also, thank you for your post, I did not know this about sun protection in spray-form and you just saved me from a similar experience. //a stranger on the Internet.
Truly appreciate how you and Robert disclose ads, anything gifted, etc. You are transparent and it makes your audience trust your opinions and product reviews.
Your expression as you watched that girl try to 'fix' her nails is GOLD
I was so triggered the whole time. Like was she even serious? Infuriating that someone would be that way
I'd never imagined I'd see James visibility pale as he watches something
Right? 😂
Like how did she get so much polish on the table. Then DIY polish remover, ma'am stop please!
I love that James says "because perfection doesn't exist" in a perfect way😂❤
Except my 13 year old dog. 🐶 he is perfection 😇
😍
@@Sunshine-un5wwI will agree with this about any dog
I love how he says aluminum like an absolute polyglot.
@@JamesWelshas Gods my cats accept their dog ‘sisters’ can be called perfection ❤
I got awful nails once, paid, drove to the next nail salon I could find and asked for a take off service lol. It was like 10 bucks and way faster than me doing it myself at home.
That Henna one is wild. Where I live Henna is a common thing and you always have to be careful where you buy your Henna from and which Henna artists you use
Lab muffin recently did quite a fun video on the usefullness of spray-on-sunscreens ☺️ Conclusion was that it doesn’t give even coverage at all and that indeed most of the sunscreen gets lost in the air and never reaches your skin. It also gets on your clothes and basically everywhere else other than where you actually need it 😂
People don't understand this and don't understand that even with a hand held personal bottle of sunscreen you're still supposed to use your hands to wipe it around on the skin. The droplets don't cover 100% of the sk8n surface, if you don't spread it out, it is leaving areas uncovered. No spray applies that evenly and no one sprays a whole wet layer. I used an spf +100 spray and didn't rub it in on my body and used a cream of the same brand and spf on my face. My face never even got pink but my arms and shoulders burned so badly I had to get medical treatment because the blisters were so severe.
That's what I was thinking. You need a pretty thick layer to get the protection. Like if the bottle says SPF 50 and you spray lightly, you're probably not even getting 20. You need to bathe in that stuff.
😂 I figured that out today when I got burnt!
If you spray it really close to the skin and allow it to pile up and then manually rub it in it's fine
@RetroMonkey1999 I'm a red head so burn easily and I never rub mine in and have never gotten burnt with spray sunscreen. I also put it on my two little kids who have fair skin just since they are young still and they haven't burned either.
I love the sunscreen booth idea. They really need to have it enclosed. It looked like probably 95% of the sunscreen flew away in the wind, with the way it was open to the air.
OMG. That touchless sunscreen booth is so cool! There's room for improvement but I would definitely use it for reapplication. Also, I know people who I have to try to convince to use sunscreen and I feel like they would be more willing to use this - some protection is better than nothing.
Yeah exactly! Deffo room for improvement but like…if it gets people using sunscreen!
I am concerned that the storage for the sunscreen just couldn't hold up to the constant sunny weather - we aren't supposed to leave sunscreen in our cars, so how hot does that unit get when it's in the sun 🧐 I'm also super curious what countries these booths are in, and what country's regulations for sunscreen they follow.
So many questions. 😅
@@Kaeracter That's a good point about the heat. Maybe the product is stored in some kind of insulated container that keeps it cool?
@@Kaeracter the outside doesn't get as hot as the inside of your car which gets over 200f that's the equivalent of an oven on it's lowest setting. Putting your sunscreen in an oven would be the same effect. It's common sense things outside wouldn't get as hot
I would be concerned about the sunscreen staining my clothes.
I will not choose an item to review if the brand info says anything like “don’t include the word gift or gifted In review.” Ughhh like seriously??
Honestly like…is it worth breaking the law?!
@@JamesWelsh right!? I’m not about to tarnish my credibility for a brand *ahem* clarins. Love some of their products but I did not think that was trustworthy.
Ohh yes, girl’s naming names! They deserve to be called out.
You did a great job with explaining black henna and its hazardous effects! As a Natural Henna Artist, I applaud you, thanks for doing the research and sharing this info, a lot of people don't know the dangers of mass-produced "henna".
Oh the poor manicure girl, she's riding the strugglebus all the way to the DEPOT!
You made me choke on my breakfast 😂
I love this expression! 😂
It's James's and Robert's transparency around ads that have resulted in me making purchases based on their recommendations - including those in the adverts. I just feel it speaks to overall honesty and I've never gotten a bad product based on either of their reviews or ads yet! I don't buy a lot from influencer recommendations over all, I also feel like how both James and Robert give details and descriptions is really clear and helpful for what I want to know when I am shopping. 💜🖤
Love the sunscreen sprayer idea, but all I could think about was, "take off your sunglasses!!" Lol that would drive me nuts, you'd need an alcohol wipe to get them clean after all that spray.
The ice burn thing....All I can picture is that poor kid from A Christmas Story getting his tongue stuck to the pole. And all his friends ditched him and left him alone while his screams went from "sthuuuck! sthuuuuuuuuck!" to just straight high pitched banshee wailing.🤣🤣
SHEIN banned my country. And nowadays I think that`s for good. Thanks to them
Unfortunately for us in the UK, it sounds like they’re opening a shop in London!
@@JamesWelshwow!
@@JamesWelsh They have opened a shop in my city in Spain! It's not an official store but all the clothes they sell are from SHEIN and they advertise it like it.
The way you phrased that makes it sound like shein banned a country instead of a country banning shein and if that ain't a dystopian capitalist future then idk what is
We have a "thrift" shop in our city in north Poland that straight up buys a shitload of clothes from shein, and hangs them with normal used clothes 🙄 It used to be such a nice store, now 90% of their stock is this awful poliester crap
I have a severe PPD allergy and I can't use black or brown hair dyes because my head blows up like a pumpkin. My scalp cracks and weeps. It's next level gnarly. It's also one of those allergies that gets worse with each exposure.
Holy moly! 😮❤ I have found out recently how bad dyes are. I had no idea they could be that bad!! Poor thing ❤
The horror on your face with the nail video 😂😂 I totally felt it
lol I felt so bad for her 😭😭
@@JamesWelsh I feel it is fake, what do you think James?
Whenever I see ice roller type thingies I remember in one video John mclean said "just get a riverstone and put it in the fridge". 😂
Plus, river stones show seamlessness.
Iconic
That DIY nail polish remover, omg. I mean, I always make my own DIY nail polish remover, but I use Sprite, Britney Spears Curious, and a packet of Lipton`s Chicken Noodle soup.
My DIY nail polish remover consisted of buying 1L of ethyl acetate as nail polish thinner and putting 30 mL of that in a dropper bottle at a time (for thinning polishes, removing polish from stamping plates, and remove nail polish spills on anything that acetone would melt but ethyl acetate wouldn't). That's harmless DIY. Mixing random chemicals like what she did sounds like school massively failed to impress on her that you can literally accidentally kill yourself and your whole neighborhood if you mix the wrong things together in sufficient quantities...
Honestly i watch and trust ur ads because u are honest and disclose that its an ad
Thank you 🥹🙏🏼
Same!
How can someone do nail polish so badly… She’s literally dripping polish all over the table. Just pay 15 more dollars to walk into another salon for them to just slap some polish on top 🤦♀️
she seems to have some sort of tremor. as she said she shakes. not her fault really
Ur literally disgusting🤦🏽♂️
She needs to stabilize her working hand on the table
I don’t really post on it much! I just do it for fun 😅 oh have you ever used builder gel?! Loads of people use it to help grow out their nails!
Hey James! 🖤 quick question: when you said 100% alcohol to remove gel, did you mean acetone? 19:00
I imagine that's what he was referring to
I'm so glad you explained how that sunscreen machine is basically spraying sunscreen into the air lol. I recently watched LabMuffinBeauty 's video on the topic of spray sunscreen and the results were not great. But agreed, I think the idea is really great. I too would be in that machine all day lol.
Nail polish girl gave me major anxiety bc ma’am wtf are you doinnnnnnng how is it all over your table WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?! I’d pay $10 for a polish change somewhere else cause this would drive me insane
She literally started with the words “I can’t do nail polish, I’ve never been able to do nail polish.” Then what are you doing?? You know you can’t fix it, why are you trying???
If it’s rage bait, it was very successful 😅
@@heatherduke7703oh I was enraged 😂 like she’s on the internet look up a video my god 😂😂
I'm fairly good when it comes to doing my own nails so it would be unfair to be too harsh - BUT when I was a teen I once let a guy in my class paint my nails (he never tried it before) and he did such a good job. Even if your painting for the very first time (and it sounded like she tried it before) I couldn't image someone would do such a horrible job :O I'm soooo sure it was Rage Bait! (But I can relate to the shaking lol, my hands shake so bad when I'm painting, I have to steady them)
@@ChocolateShaddixX i have a really bad tremor and some days it's so bad i struggle to hold utensils and i rarely can move my own pieces in board games and the like. not saying that's what's going on here, but i definitely think this scenario is very plausible
@@stellarae8257 I didn't think of this, you're absolutely right, that this could be a possibility
Im poor so I use stainless steel spoons to depuff my eyes in the morning. I cannot be be bothered to remember to store a beauty item in a fridge/freezer.
I'm glad someone commented about the stainless steel spoon tip. Works well and free.❤
The sunscreen machine as a top up would be cool if they worked on the idea a bit. I wonder how much it gets on everyone's clothes though
I wonder if the perfume brand is the one that does the "phermone reactive" perfumes. Every single ad i see for them, its SO CLEAR its an undisclosed ad, they literally all say the same exact thing, despite the men in the videos supposedly not knowing theyre being filmed😂 ill just never buy from that brand because of the ads i see.
I refuse to buy lumi because of how much their ads piss me off
@@ayajade6683 i hate to say this, but I was like that until ppl I liked started using it, and when I saw it at my Walmart, I grabbed one of the minis.....and its the best antiperspirant I've ever used🫣 i HATE the way they market it, especially since odor is one of the ways the body tells us something is wrong, so if someone has odor problems, they need to be speaking to their dr, and not buying bandaids for a situation that could be serious. But the product is good, and I hate that I think that
I’ve seen what happens when “black henna” is used and when you have a reaction it’s NOT good, especially as once that reaction happens, you can develop sensitivities to so many other products. I once worked as a holiday rep and I had to warn customers to avoid. They wouldn’t and then nasty reactions
Those nails, I’m sorry but she had to be lying .. they just look like plastic nail tips .. with no gel or anything put on top of them? That could not have taken 3 hours?!
The sunscreen machine looks so wasteful with uneven coverage, not to mention the possibility of inhaling it.
I wouldn’t even do real henna on my face, idk maybe im just paranoid
I was watching this like why the hell would you ever put henna on your face, why would you think it would wash off in the first place??!!
@@tifinitythat's what I thought, even really good henna is meant to stain
That sunscreen thing is so cool if they can work out the kinks
I was a henna artist at an amusement park and I learned all about real vs black henna. You csn find real henna at most beauty supply stores if you really want it.
i always watch your AD content but if it's a brand i know I'm not interested in or out of my budget, I'll put it on as background while I'm doing something else. we appreciate you being transparent in all your AD content!
The ice-roller girl must have never touched an icepop or icecube straight out of the freezer...
😩
Right??? And I’m sure ice rollers may be relaxing to use but why spend money on that when you can just put a spoon in the fridge and use that. 😭
Part of the reason why I love this channel, and James, is because of the honesty. I trust him, and his opinions, and that trust is built and earned. I don't see James ever letting me down! 😆I don't like underhanded tactics from influencers, and I think people value authenticity, transparency and integrity more than ever now in the social media/online space. You want the influencer to be like a mate - and you don't want dishonest mates!
BTW - have been completely de-motivated to do my skincare for MONTHS now 🤫 and these videos have inspired me to start it up again - my skin is very grateful and I'm enjoying skincare again, yay 🥰
100%. James also sets an example for other creators so I know what to look for when I’m deciding whether to trust another creator’s opinions. 😅
Absolutely!
Love how you talk about the ads and paid promotion and how influencers need to be following the laws around this!
This is why I love yourself and Robert so much! I feel like I can trust your opinions and that you have made it clear when you are being paid to talk about a certain product or company. I feel like you folks are giving me the facts and your opinions based on years of experience and I can then take that and make an educated decision for myself.
Even through many so called legitimate henna suppliers, you can get really bad reactions to contaminated products. I've been using henna in my hair for over a decade. But it's always from the same brand that I trust.
What brand do you use?
@@__mN3O light mountain natural. It comes in a powder form so you can just mix the amount that you need.
@@aniE1869 thank u 💓
Complete coverage. Riiiiiggghhhttt..
Completely covered the boardwalk
As it blows away on camera 😂😂😂
It is all about transparency.
Influencers who are loving 60 zillion products - absolutely not truthful. You like stuff. You love stuff. Your brain is not wired to love and use 25 different cleansers in the same month. Just sayin’.
If I trust someone, I’ll watch the “ad” because I know that their integrity extends into the video.
That’s the thing. If they spent time building a community and peoples trust, then they woukdnt feel bad about posting sponsorships / feel like they have to hide them!
The sunscreen thing needs to be perfected and it would be AMAZING. Agree fully with you- what a perfect idea.
I love Welsh brother Friday💜 But the anxiety of watching all videos in time is real 😂. AluminUM James? Really? REALLY??? Texas made you say it, didnt it....
😂😂😂😂 sorry 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
11:38 I think people would need clear/clearer guidelines on how to stand as well. Everyone I’ve seen showing it off has been standing in a way that would mean their inner arms and legs would be missed, the model on the website is standing like she’s getting a spray tan, starfish. Definitely needs some more signage.
So like 15 years ago it was already known black henna is bad news, but I was always told that if you had contact with black henna you shouldnt use any box hair dyes, that the previous contact to black henna made you more prone to reaction from box dyes. Was this ever an actual thing, misunderstood info or fear mongering? anyone remember anything like this?
18:38 oh my god. I think they put the acrylic base on and then *didnt blend it into the nail with more acrylic*. There's like a shadow on her pinkie under the white. Yeah I think they just slapped the acrylic base on there, shaped it, and MAYBE painted it
12:50 the city should pay for the sunscreen imo
Those poor girls with the fake henna!
Love their humor about it though
First, LOVE the shirt! Second, don't love the sunscreen applicator. I feel like the ratio of product used to coverage is super unsustainable. Plus whatever you have on you or near the machine is gonna get all greasy. Also I feel like just staying where you are and applying your own spray on sunscreen would be more convenient than having to walk over to this thing and potentially pay if they start charging
Black hairdye put me into anaphylaxis and left me with weeping sores for months. I'm now prone to litany of skin sensitivities. This was 18 years ago and I'll have issues from it for life - always patch test!
I had got a tattoo and dyed my hair after, I had been dying my hair for years beforehand. You just can't be too careful!
When she said “I can’t do nails” … you are correct ma’am.
as a pale girl i don’t trust that sunscreen machine im doing lots of layers and getting sunscreen a bit under the suit in case it shifts in the water
10:04 that all went into the wind..😭
Wanted to mention that jagua tattoos are safe.
Jagua appear blue/black and often people wrongly refer to it as black henna.
So if you see a henna booth/place offering "black henna" check/ask about the ingredients. It might just be jagua.
Edit: they also might have added indigo in to the henna mix to make different nuances/colours.
Thanks for the Beautiful Video ❤ the subtitles are so amazing! I have sick toddlers and nights are hard so I still can enjoy a little RUclips time for myself while lying in bed with my sick babies ❤ also thanks for always being honest about your channel ❤
I never ever trust ads from anyone except from you and your brother. You guys have never ever let me down when it comes to ads or recommendations
@@A-db4tz I can promise he is because our management would not allow any ads to go up without proper disclosure for legal reasons
Thank you so much 🥹💜💜
The girl’s nails look like they used the kiss white nail tips from their dip powder kit 😂😂 that’s where I started with doing any form of nail extensions lol
That's what I was thinking, it looks like they just stuck on white tips and went, "This is good." But, then, what took three hours?!
@@demondairyfarmyessss they look so thing and stuck on! When she said acrylic I was like…where 🧐
16:34 That happened to me. Went to another nail salon, and they tried to salvage it. What she described, I feel like I went to the same place 🤣🤣.
3:53 YES THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU IT PAINS ME SO MUCH NO ONE FOLLOWS THE RULES ABOUT ADS
I keep my face roller in the butter penthouse in the fridge. My skin is very sensitive to cold, so frozen hurts, but refrigerated is just right. Now I feel much better about putting it in there instead of the freezer to spare my sensitive baby skin
The butter penthouse !! Lmfaooo I love that, so bougie for the butter 😂
18:08 I died at your reaction because I looked up from doing my makeup to make that same face at you 🤣
I wonder if the spray tan booth sprayers would work well with the sunscreen booth. Make it more direct
I am glad to be living in the EU.
But also: for bought henna, if you don't have experience with something like this then read reviews and don't buy something without reviews or with enough bad ones. I guess people really didn't exspect the danger of putting product on your skin, since we kind of do that daily. The skin is an organ, and kind of fragile!
The skin can be effected by so much, and once it decides it doesn't like a product or ingredient, it has trouble tolerating it again. Take care of your skin, so it takes care of you!
Those henna tattoos were everywhere when I was a kid (you couldn't get to the beach without passing by a few henna tattoos booths). Now that I think about it, it was crazy that some random people were painting children with this.
i truly like the fact that you look at the camera and not how look in it. i know, it might be a small thing, but to me, counts greatly.
I will never forget a blurb about black henna in Seventeen or another teen magazine years ago about several girls who got awful burns and scars.
As soon as I saw that woman get sprayed in the sunscreen booth I was internally screaming "Close your damn mouth! The *influencer* smile ain't worth getting your teeth coated in sunscreen!".
SHEIN should stop selling all types of stuff that can be dangerous like that. I’m sooo so mad that my Lash Tech changed from quality PBT Korean made lashes to SHEIN lashes from that Nagaraku brand that don’t disclose what material they’re made out off. I’m soo so pissed she even dated to put those things near my eyes. I wanted to sue her, but I live in Spain and sadly lawsuits don’t even go anywhere 😭😭.
Note, it’s illegal to use products that are not approved by EU standards any type of cosmetic procedure.
Full offense, but that girl trying to fix her nails pissed me off lol. How incompetent are you that you can't just paint your nails over with one colour? And she was sitting in a car earlier, but didn't think to stop by the store to get nail polish remover on the way home? Instead mixed some random chemicals like an absolute maniac?
right? this could've been easily avoided by telling the nail artist that they're doing something wrong. I don't understand why she didn't say anything.
Omg that nail video at the end is an ever unfolding disaster.
As someone who works for a PR firm the real tea is that we are WELL aware of FTC guidelines and if the firm is more than 10 people there was definitely some kind of legal training involved. The tea of the situation is that it’s a if they don’t check situation - given those fines can be up to 500K EACH my firm would never risk it but hey for your engagement…
I got a black henna tattoo on vacation as a child and I had the same skin reaction with scarring (it did completely disappear eventually, so i hope the same for the guy who got it on his face). I also believe it gave me a permanent sensitivity to certain dyes because i've had similar reactions to certain types of hair dye and clothing dye. Please be super careful about any products that might have PPD!
Given Michelle of Lab Muffin just did a video about spray sunscreen I'd like more details about these machines and whether you are really getting the coverage you need.
I don't get how people can't paint a simple coat of nail varnish. Like, I have a bit of paper that medicalises my clumsiness, but I can paint a couple of coats and clean the edges with a cotton bud 😂 x
some people just have very shakey hands. and then mentally trick themselves into thinking they can never do good nails themselves. when really.. you just need to practice and just don't expect Salon quality looking nails.
"little freckles"? It looks like they fell face first in a bowl of poppy seeds
I used to have a Pakistani friend in high-school and we got legit henna. It's reddish brown and smells kinda weird. This is NOT henna!
Your face when she gave the list of her homemade nail polish remover was exactly like mine when I heard it 😂😂😂.
I cannot imagine buying henna from shein and thinking its a good idea, much less to then put it all over your face 😩
I buy my henna from my local indian market. You have to ask and they keep it behind the counter but its that real shit. Nothing beats real henna.
For the last twenty years I've been studying, experimenting with and making my own naturopathic cosmetics, body products, hair products, and medicines. I still do buy certain things like mascara, nail polish, coloful hair dye and eyeshadows. But, I do massive amounts of research into more "natural" brands so I don't mess myself up. And out of this research I have concluded that about 95% of cosmetics out there, even if they say they are more "natural" and "chemical free", are absolute garbage and should never be in or around anyone or anything. I also live in the US where they allow massive amounts of chemicals and treatments that other countries have banned and that have been shown to cause massive problems with one's health. Even if I go with Korean or Japanese brands, it's not the same formula that I would get if I was getting the product in those countries. Needless to say, I trust no one and nothing here and I will make my own sh*t for the rest of my life and shame on the industry for poisoning us all.
The nail girl…baby do not mix cleaning chemicals together!!!!! That’s safety 101!
Thank God i never used Shein.
The sunscreen booth sounds cool in theory but arent we supposed to be getting away from aerosols?
When i saw the sunscreen thing, all i can think is how fantastic for people who have sensory or texture issues, like i know some people on the spectrum that can't deal with getting lotion rubbed on them, and i think that would be perfect for them! If there were more of these, more widespread around the world, i would definitely be ready to pay a small price to be able to have access to it!
Use cold water on a ice burn. Treat it like a burn.
That sunscreen machine is so freakin cool. Could be a huge thing if they get it perfected 😊💜
Got a henna tattoo once on holiday. Swelled up like a balloon. Don't know if it was pure henna or not
The sunscreen booth should be made like a VersaSpa! The spray moves up and down, the spray is straight forward and directed intentionally. Even distribution!
