    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.

    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.

      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

    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.

    • @bridgettbenson6830
      @bridgettbenson6830 Месяц назад +71

      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.

    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 😂

    • @RetroMonkey1999
      @RetroMonkey1999 Месяц назад +28

      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.

    • @fil0sofia
      @fil0sofia Месяц назад +9

      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.

    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!

Some will grow a decent amount but then eventually the tip breaks, chips, or peels off. The nails that don't grow very well peel before i get any length. I feel like some of my nails aren't the same shape, maybe it's the nail bed? And no matter how hard i try to shape them I just end up filing them too much and they break. I wore acrylics back in the day (in my early 20s) & have thought about going to have them done but I'm so behind in the current styles & fashion that i wouldn't even know what to ask for. Cheap glue on nails don't stay on long enough & if they do they really do some damage on my natural nails. Maybe i just need to see a dermatologist to see what might be causing me so many issues. Definitely gonna check out the nail channel tho.

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.

When I woke up it took at least ten minutes for my eyes to 'unfog' so I could see clearly and I was genuinely worried I'd damaged them permanently.

    PPD is transdermal, it will get into your bloodstream through your skin. It is used not only in hair dye but also in textile and other industrial dyes and it is not for use on the skin.
    Here is the science:
    With real 100% natural henna, the lawsonia plant dye molecule is too big to pass through your epidermis to your living tissue and into your bloodstream. The lawsonia molecule bonds to the keratin proteins in the epidermis, or hair or nails, and that’s how the dye deposits. As your skin exfoliates the dyed skin cells are shed and the dye fades.
