I despise Lily Silk and the total reason is that I am absolutely sick of seeing influencers hype this brand and it is always at the same time and almost all of the same pieces … the pieces might be nice but I’m so sick of seeing this brand hyped that I fast forward through
@@kateleeder7191 yeah. They are pushing it too much. I’m surprised their marketing team don’t see it. But to be honest, i did scroll through their pages couple of times. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t see it everywhere. Haven’t bought anything yet tho.
I fast forward through Lili Silk, Goellia, Skin & Me, even Idyl now, It's all the same . Every time there's a jewellery collection video it's just an advert for Idyl
I always appreciate when influencers note that certain pieces or content are collabs or have been gifted. I am definitely the kind of person who does my own research and investigation into products and companies before making purchases, so i’m not easily “influenced” to impulsively buy something. I tend to takeaway the concepts or ideas shared and then thrift my way to similar pieces that spark joy for me!
Excellent video and you're totally correct...people have different motivations for doing different things. Like you, I ignore most offers and only promote products I believe in. Farfetch, get it together and work with Dayle again!
Thanks for this, I always forward ads for lily silk and idyl. I just can’t trust them. But I still watch the rest of the RUclipsr’s content and don’t hate their game for earning money.
Dayle, I am so glad someone has made a video about this. The collabs I see from RUclipsrs are all the same, Goelia, idyll, Lilysilk etc and to be honest as soon as I see this I close the video. I am just sick of these brands. I'll be honest, I do question whether the people making these videos love the product as much as they say they do. I may be wrong but that's just how I feel now. I think along the lines of, if these companies & their products are so great why is it that the only place I hear about them is RUclips.
I'm a saleswoman, and I also like to buy high-end imitations. I'm happier than getting paid when I buy something that can't be seen with the naked eyethan getting paid.. *gtdupe*
One thing I love about your channel is how honest you are. Too many people (and companies) will sell out for an extra dollar, and it harms us as consumers. Thank you for being authentically you.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I thought it was just me not convinced about Lilysilk and Goelia. I bought from Lilysilk at least 3 times in different years but I always ended up returning the clothing as not sure if they would wear well over time. As for Goelia, I was so interested in buying from them that I flew to Sydney and visited all their Sydney stores thinking I am ready to spend my money, but when I checked their clothing, i was turned off by the kind of materials in most of their clothing. Just not for me unfortunately. Glad I personally tried them though before purchasing them.
Hello, I saw your title pop up and it gave me a laugh. Probably for other reasons…. I wasn’t sure if you were referring to collaborating with companies or other RUclips creators. My personal opinion and what I’ve seen first hand is many creators will pretend for financial kickbacks. I appreciate your honesty. It’s refreshing 😊
Thanks for this honest conversation. I’ve just recently started getting into luxury products so a lot of my videos are luxury unboxing channels and many of them cycle through the same collabs. I’m also just starting content creating. I’ll make sure to always remember your motto of staying authentic to myself. Cheers!
Great video. I don’t mind collabs at all. I have found so many products I would have not known about if not for influencers showing them. Sometimes I am looking for something and it’s much better than googling what‘s on the market and not knowing if I can believe Google reviews. I still use some of the products I saw on the INfluencers’ channels. If I’m not a target audience or in the market for it…I just skip it.
Great video, Dayle ! Auditors loves your honesty ! It's sad that the biggest youtubers can't resist those colabs, which ulitmately are making them less credible !
Hi Dayle this video was interesting and informative as usual. I bought the Sky Rat T shirt for my husband as I saw it on your channel. The discount they offered meant the postage was free(24 USD). It's a great one. Thank you. Much love xxx
I love how honest this video is. This is why I don’t understand why one would have a closet full of Zimmerman or Hermes’ but the then spruik Lily Silk and Goeila. I skip all collab parts of video so I’m not wasting my time. Have I checked both websites before, yes. Did I buy, no because nothing appeals to me and i look at fabric composition in everything I buy. I have Zimmerman dresses but that is because I like linen. I have many 100% woollen jumpers, cardigans and tops and they range from brands like AJE, Viktoria and Woods, Country Road and Uniqlo. There is no discrimination as long as it is 100% wool as they just wash so much better and last longer. Some of the collabs look cheaply made and the fabric composition is all synthetic. I would never buy a pair of tailored shorts or pants with elastic. It’s cheating in terms of finish and just looks terrible even if you cover it with a belt. I did buy a beautiful pair of earrings from Idyll as I was influenced because of the modular design. Extremely fun creating your own stack. Do I love them, yes absolutely love the designs and the concept but is it worth it? NO! Why? They are overpriced lab grown diamonds with no resale value. I get it is sustainable but worthless in the end. I should have spent my money going to a private jeweller and had a custom pair of earrings made with diamonds. The Idyll earrings r perfect for everyday but I treat all my other designer jewellery and custom jewellery as everyday as well. I definitely got influenced by an influencer who had a nice fat coupon code 🤣. I am up-cycling some very old gold jewellery from my 20s which I have taken to my jeweller. They weigh and credit the gold in my new piece. I had an entire diamond bracelet remade into a bangle and it is stunning. Not sure what is next but I think I will have a pair of huggies made. It’s a great way to curate a jewellery collection if you own old non designer jewellery you no longer wear. No more Idyll even tho I love love their concept … a lot! 😊
Thanks so much for sharing, you’re right it just doesn’t sit with everything else discussed - it’s a departure from the channel and it stands out like….. well it stands out!
The reason companies use influencers is because it’s the cheapest way to market their products based on the trust of subscribers in these influencers. When RUclipsrs with closets full of Zimmerman, Hermes and Cartier sing praise to, for example, Goelia”s almost entirely polyester products, bags and jewelry they won’t ever wear it’s a violation of subscribers trust, unless they preface it by saying that they won’t ever spend their own money on these products, and are promoting these products to earn income.
Loved this video Dayle!!! Thanks for going thru the few that are constantly mentioned. I too don’t like most all of them that you mentioned with the exception of zoomoni. I too love the liners not the organizers. I have the silky ones now in most all my bags. I didn’t know you had a code for them if I could I’d like to use it if possible. I think they gave me one with my last purchase I just did with them. I’ll have to check the box again because I bought five of the liners this time. Take care 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Hi Dayle!! I really like how up front you are with us. Hope your Father is doing better. Also, I truly adore your Oscar Dela Renta purple flowers earrings, one of my favorite jewelry pieces from your collection!!💕☺️🇨🇦
These ads have an opposite reaction on me. The more I see, the less I want and trust them AND the influencer. Feels like it's all about money reviews not genuine at all. So fake
This is exactly how I’ve always felt. I’m watching jewellery reviews/collection videos and here comes Idyl yet again on every second video. I’m tired of it. I have no trust in those that promote them.
As someone who specialises in the governance and integrity space I find the mere mention of ‘trust’ in a conversation about influencers kind of funny. It’s like asking whether an aspiring politician who has revived inducement can be ‘trusted’. The influencer is influenced. It would be naive to engage with their content with through the lens of ‘trust’. It’s a marketplace. Trust at your own risk😂
Love your honesty and appreciate your integrity! I don’t think there is anything wrong with collaborations as long as they are transparent, but it can be a slippery slope. If every video that a content creator makes is mostly collaboration oriented, I tend to drift away. No one wants to watch long form commercials masquerading as reviews, etc.
Great video. Yes, you can't really trust infuencers. I'm far from being an influencer, but I did take a free bag from Naomi Crafted to show on my channel, but under the condition I could be honest. She agreed and said she stood by her product. I've bought a couple things since.
Is Naomi Crafted the one that makes items from sourced Hermes dust bags? If yes, I am quite skeptical. Where does this amount of new Hermes dust bags come from? You can’t just contact Hermes and purchase 100 dust bags… that is what has put me off from the brand.
I never watch the sponsored videos/segments. Boring! They are just like watching commercials. I have never heard of a content creator actually buying from those brands with their own money, probably because they wouldn’t! That’s not to say I am immune to influence and marketing. In general, I can be more easily convinced it’s a well-known and established brand that I know of, already am a client from and know the quality of their products. Love your honesty, your channel is a breath of fresh air x
Great video! I'm conflicted about collabs. I have a hard time believing my favorite RUclipsrs actually like a cardboard box of dead roses. That being said I know it takes a lot of time and energy to produce frequent videos so I don't begrudge trying to earn money doing it. I fast forward through the bad jewelry, bad clothes and dead roses.
Another wonderful video Dayle please stay you and be very choosy, a lot of RUclipsrs take on pretty much one per video……. I’ll be honest I just scroll past I cannot be doing with it 🤭🤣
I turn down collaboration daily. If the collaboration doesn’t work for my style, if the product isn’t something I’d buy myself, then I won’t collaborate with the company. Collaboration & Sponsored videos are a lot of work. Most companies just want to send us products for free and expect TOO MUCH. Most of the time the products are not worth the amount of effort and work that goes into the video. Great perspective Dayle. I love your hair in today’s video.
I don’t mind collabs too much but when EVERY SINGLE video features a paid promotion it is a big turn off. I know for some RUclipsrs it’s their job, but every video? That being said, I’ve found some great products- like Missoma jewelry 💎 and Vivaia shoes 👠 through RUclips. Great video ❤
Very interesting and you are commended to staying true to yourself. Yes certain "brands" definitely show up on multiple peoples' vlogs which these days leads me to fast forward. Not good for their analytics if so. . .
Love your honesty and that you stick to what appeals to you. I've learnt to take youtube collab/sponsorships with a grain of salt after the Cosette situation. If I'm interested in an item or first time buying from a company, I try to watch as many youtube videos and comments from viewers who've bought the item. There's also Trustpilot and reddit and other review sites. Even with sites like Trustpilot, a company can put up fake good reviews, so I mainly read the negative reviews. If I see a youtuber unbox/feature something and then never see them wearing it, I think that's pretty obvious they did it just for the money. I've always wondered if youtubers would buy some of these products if they had to pay with their own money and you've answered that about Idyl. With Zoomoni and Samorga, once you add shipping to Australia, I find they become expensive. I use KD Australia, and they do the job, wouldn't say its super high quality and they don't offer the thinner felt version. There's an oversaturation of certain brands that I just fast forward through now. I can understand though that it takes time and effort to create these videos and that some youtubers rely on collabs/sponsorships for funds. As long as they are upfront about it being a sponsored video or gifted item.
Sooo many thoughts….. I detest *most* sponsored videos, the over sponsored ones in particular…. those stupid roses in a box, lily silk which either has a nominal amount of silk in the items and/or is over priced, items sponsored that you never see the influencer using or wearing again, mid range brands like quince or polene promoted by luxury youtubers, that again you never see again…. Bah… the scam of it…. Plated jewelry sold at ridiculous prices…. The list goes on and on… the worst scam for me, well the two worst scams both “diamond” related… chocolate diamonds which are just inclusions given a name huge marketing scam, but number one is….. “lab-grown diamonds! Uggg makes me crazy! I don’t eat fake meat, I don’t wear fake diamonds…. The are mass produced with a molecule of a diamond aka carbon, and priced in the THOUSANDS!! Insanity!!! A cz is worth just as much. These poor ladies are being scammed into buying them in engagement rings. Once the truth is released they will be so sad, and it is most womens forever ring! It breaks my heart and angers me at the same time. Total con…. Eek, I didn’t know I had all of that in me…. Sorry
I like Vivaia flats and have 2 pair but I wouldn’t buy their winter boots because I prefer leather. I used an Ateliers Auguste code from an influencer to buy a bag, and a Sarah Flint code for boots. Other than that, I keep an eye on Lily Silk because I’ve been on the hunt for a navy cashmere sweater for the past two years. I looked at trench coats from Goelia this season because Lux Purse Love looked great in her collab, but balked at the price (because I’m saving for a more expensive coat).
I have so much respect for you now!! Thanks for the video! Ive never clicked on a single link when I see RUclipsrs promoting these brands ! I find it in poor taste especially when it's half of the video and the influencers are trying their very best to say good things about the brand for 10mins just so they get a check.... really annoying
Appreciate the video and agree that people have different reasons for doing collaborations. My extremely small channel has gotten emails and I have yet to do a collaboration because the right one has not come along. Mostly companies reach out to me that haven’t watched a video. I did receive an email from a handbag company. However , I turned it down because I didn’t like their products. I won’t talk about a company for the same reasons you mentioned. I recently had a company throw around the word ambassador but only wanted to give me a 40% discount code to try their products. I thought that was the craziest offer I have gotten so far! You want me to pay you for your products and you get free advertising for all my hard work 🤔!!!!??? That’s a hard pass.
Liked this topic as it is a challenging one to unpack. Besides creating videos when I can, I mainly watch or listen in. From that, I feel like some collabs are overdone. I’ve checked some sites out but I don’t really give in or find something I like. I think I tend to buy when the creator works with the company to design something rather than a product that isn’t limited or special edition, (everyday for the brand).
Can you do a video on your visit to Paris? Your views on safety as a tourist, shopping luxury and whether it was safe taking your luxury bags walking Paris streets, views on pick pocketing, tourist scams etc. we heard it is getting worse compared with UK, US, Australia or northern Asia, especially luxury shopping and roaming the Parisian streets and restaurants. Your views and experience PLS?
I think as long as youtubers are honest about the whole deal and it's fits with their channel, personal style it's totally fine, it's when it something so left field from their normal style or topics that it's just feels like pushing products for the sake of it which is what I don't like.
I just love how you stay true to yourself and honest with us your subscribers. This is just one of your many endearing qualities lovely Dayle. Thank you again for the Idyl pieces, it was so kind of you but then that is the sort of person you are. I must say after trying them I would not spend my money on them. It was good to be able to see them in the flesh so to speak as I have seen so many RUclipsrs endorse them. Diamond is my birthstone and let's face it you can't beat the real deal.😁 Much love to you and your dad. Jenni. XX 💜💜
Loved this topic - I’m very cynical when it comes to collabs … however, when they aren’t one and done and feature regularly I become far more trusting of the RUclipsrs opinion ! I also must admit I get very bored of influenced items … cue the coach Carryall, Idyl jewellery and the Neverfull reversible … yawn !!
Amen!🙌 I couldn’t agree more with your sentiments. I had been saving all my collab request emails to do a similar type video one day as I’ve had many you’ve already mentioned reach out to me as well. Nothing wrong with collabs or sponsorships at all but it really is up to us as viewers to decide if it’s just an ad or authentic. I don’t need more “stuff” that I wouldn’t want to pay for myself. I’m saving my “collab virginity” for something special 😂
Oh Dayle! 😂 I loved getting Idyl but they won’t send me anymore free jewelry. 😢I love all my current sponsors but on the occasion I work with one that I don’t like, I won’t do it a second time. I’ve even deleted the mentions before from my posted videos😂😂😂😂😂. You’ll never catch me doing the silk stuff, can you see me wearing anything silk??? ❤❤❤❤
I do occasionally by things from collabs and I am usually happy, particularly with Monica Vinader. I like the designs of Ana Louisa jewellery however the plating does dull after a few months. I love lab grown Diamonds as they are beautiful quality for half the price of real diamonds, however I go to my local jeweller who can source them from his regular stone company and can make them into a necklace or earrings just like regular diamonds at a lower price point less than Idyl. I don't understand why the high end influencers collab with Goellia, their clothes are overpriced and boring and I'm so sick of Lily Silk, I look terrible in silk shirts and when you actually watch these influencers they all just wear the same couple of Cashmere jumpers all the time but you can get cashmere jumpers from H&M and Marks and Spencer's or Boden for what looks like the same quality for a more affordable price. 😄
All the RUclipsrs got sponsored for Ana Luisa, now no one talks about them. Now everyone talks about idyl; soon no one will talk about them and there will be a different one
This is such an important topic, for me the biggest sponsor turn offs are Idyl and Lily Silk, i stop watching the videos when they are involved. 😅 There is this one luxury RUclipsr who seems to do her vids around the sponsors, I cant watch her vids, it feels kinda insulting, she masks the vids being "helpful" and "informative". It pisses me off so much, she must think we cant see through it 😅
What about RUclips merch? Would you purchase anything from a well-known RUclipsr? I only have purchased 2 shirts from 2 well known RUclipsrs. I wear them to lounge around in. For basic fashion it was a bit pricey. Here's a video idea, "buying/reviewing products from companies who want to collab with me" *not sponsored*
Interesting video Dayle I follow an Australian woman on insta and utube she did a review about the dyson air wrap years ago said she hated it wouldn’t recommend it , a while ago she was obsessed with it , also she hides her lux purchases now and promotes other brands that obviously pay her , she used to say she preferred more expensive clothing and wouldn’t purchase anything else , she now has links ect to purchase what she is paid it sorry long comment but this has turned me completely off , I believe what u stated if it’s not your style ect why promote it clearly it’s just to make money which yes I also understand but that’s totally fake and a big put off
If it legitimately pertains to the subject matter that’s one thing. So someone may have a dodgy bag and they get it authenticated and during that process they discuss Legit Grails, hmm ok. Then there are some videos that are just a bit too obvious - ie we are talking about my favourite things and I will spend the first 10 mins on idyll even though I have cupboards of luxury items. Does not quite gel. There are also some examples that are maybe creators trying to come up with new brands to talk about. I’m never sure if they actually do like these brands? - Sen Reve springs to mind.
Honestly, in a sea of collab videos, this is so refreshing! Not knocking anyone who accepts brand offers on a regular basis but I’m 100% with you, if a product doesn’t align with my style or shopping preferences, I’d much rather decline the offer than play pretend in a sponsored video. Do I sometimes second guess the amount of collab offers I turn down? Absolutely! So thank you for sharing your take in this and making me feel less alone☺️
12:26 I kinda understand now... They're doing questionable collaborations like, To a content creator #CharismaMonaee who does "STORYTIMES " . Now I need to question about Charisma😅.
If i watch a video on handbags & they spend 10 mins talking about jewellery or skincare, I'll fastforward through it. I'm not interested. Most sponsored pieces take up way too much of the video & if it's not related to video content, I'm not interested.
@DaylesAddiction yeah most go on for 10 or more minutes. I don't care about their jewellery or American ready meals (some of the knitting channels I watch are sponsored by ready meals 🤷🏼♀️). 😁
I think it is great that you don't do collabs featuring items that appropriate for the northern hemisphere season. I always cringe when Aussie RUclipsrs do this and are not about to travel to the northern hemisphere--it doesn't feel genuine at all.
I think these collaborations, which often involve low-quality products (and I don’t understand why they call them affordable luxury!), often reveal the RUclipsr’s true personal style and fashion sense. You don’t know if you should believe the Chanel cardigan they wear or the Goelia cardigan they say is Chanel inspired!
I don't know why, but Lily Silk is an immediate eye roll for me. They might be great, but it's not luxurious when I feel like it's pushed.
The process of how it’s presented turns you off? That’s a really good point!
I despise Lily Silk and the total reason is that I am absolutely sick of seeing influencers hype this brand and it is always at the same time and almost all of the same pieces … the pieces might be nice but I’m so sick of seeing this brand hyped that I fast forward through

I nearly swore off socials when everyone and their brother was doing the Billy razor Collabs. Thanks for the honesty!👏🏼👏🏼
Just from the title, I am going to love this!
I hope you did!
Your hair looks beautiful x
Hi Dayle!! I really like how up front you are with us. Hope your Father is doing better. Also, I truly adore your Oscar Dela Renta purple flowers earrings, one of my favorite jewelry pieces from your collection!!💕☺️🇨🇦
Hey Jan - it’s a slow journey but he’s improving each day and getting more positive with the process! Those earrings are beautiful!
Have you put more blonde in your hair? Looks great on you!!!! Brings out those stunning eyes 👀
It’s gradually lightening up!
So interesting to hear you tease apart this topic blondie 💁🏼♀️
Teasey peasy
You’re just so fabulous! You’re spot on collaborations.
Thank you lovely!
These ads have an opposite reaction on me. The more I see, the less I want and trust them AND the influencer. Feels like it's all about money reviews not genuine at all. So fake
This is exactly how I’ve always felt. I’m watching jewellery reviews/collection videos and here comes Idyl yet again on every second video. I’m tired of it. I have no trust in those that promote them.
This was soooo cool to hear. I love that you stick to your guns to protect your integrity and you also don't mind sharing your experiences with us
LOVE your honesty, that's what most YT creators lock of. THANK YOU!!!!🙏🙏💕
It’s probably due to the fact that I don’t care about the business side of it as much as others.
Great video, I always wonder about collab videos. I just want to know if they would honestly buy the stuff with their own money ❤
Loving your hair! 💙
Thanks babe
Love your transparency ❤
Just how I roll 💁🏻♀️💕
As someone who specialises in the governance and integrity space I find the mere mention of ‘trust’ in a conversation about influencers kind of funny. It’s like asking whether an aspiring politician who has revived inducement can be ‘trusted’. The influencer is influenced. It would be naive to engage with their content with through the lens of ‘trust’. It’s a marketplace. Trust at your own risk😂
Word….s 🙏🏼
Agree I think remembering that it’s basically a RUclips add by the influencer is the way to go
Love your honesty and appreciate your integrity! I don’t think there is anything wrong with collaborations as long as they are transparent, but it can be a slippery slope. If every video that a content creator makes is mostly collaboration oriented, I tend to drift away. No one wants to watch long form commercials masquerading as reviews, etc.
Yeah I think lifestyle bloggers do it way better than sit down ‘content creators’
Always can count on Dayle to be honest and unfiltered 😊💜
💁🏻♀️
Great video. Yes, you can't really trust infuencers. I'm far from being an influencer, but I did take a free bag from Naomi Crafted to show on my channel, but under the condition I could be honest. She agreed and said she stood by her product. I've bought a couple things since.
She’s such a lovely woman, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed working with her!
Is Naomi Crafted the one that makes items from sourced Hermes dust bags? If yes, I am quite skeptical. Where does this amount of new Hermes dust bags come from? You can’t just contact Hermes and purchase 100 dust bags… that is what has put me off from the brand.
@@jbbb7418eBay probably sells dust bags
I never watch the sponsored videos/segments. Boring! They are just like watching commercials. I have never heard of a content creator actually buying from those brands with their own money, probably because they wouldn’t! That’s not to say I am immune to influence and marketing. In general, I can be more easily convinced it’s a well-known and established brand that I know of, already am a client from and know the quality of their products. Love your honesty, your channel is a breath of fresh air x
😊😊😊
Dayle such a great topic!
It’s been sitting in my notes. While waiting for the right time!
Great video! I'm conflicted about collabs. I have a hard time believing my favorite RUclipsrs actually like a cardboard box of dead roses. That being said I know it takes a lot of time and energy to produce frequent videos so I don't begrudge trying to earn money doing it. I fast forward through the bad jewelry, bad clothes and dead roses.
😂😂😂😂
Another wonderful video Dayle please stay you and be very choosy, a lot of RUclipsrs take on pretty much one per video……. I’ll be honest I just scroll past I cannot be doing with it 🤭🤣
Yeah I can understand that, I tire of it easily!
I turn down collaboration daily. If the collaboration doesn’t work for my style, if the product isn’t something I’d buy myself, then I won’t collaborate with the company.
Collaboration & Sponsored videos are a lot of work. Most companies just want to send us products for free and expect TOO MUCH. Most of the time the products are not worth the amount of effort and work that goes into the video.
Great perspective Dayle. I love your hair in today’s video.
You are so right?! It’s a lot of work especially if it doesn’t fit straight into content you were already making!
I don’t mind collabs too much but when EVERY SINGLE video features a paid promotion it is a big turn off. I know for some RUclipsrs it’s their job, but every video? That being said, I’ve found some great products- like Missoma jewelry 💎 and Vivaia shoes 👠 through RUclips. Great video ❤
Loving the straight hair! Look how long it is!!
I’ve just cut it!
@@DaylesAddictionyour hair looks so beautiful and healthy. Do you do anything in particular to keep it looking so good? ❤
@@mariasieders9439 thank you lovely
Just go to salon every 6 weeks and use a mask every third wash!
Omg I tried to order 3 things off the Lily silk website.
Sent them right back I was sooooo disappointed with the fit and quality.
Sent them right back !
Same! I returned everything, the fitting was awful.
The sizing is horrible I agree!
Very interesting and you are commended to staying true to yourself. Yes certain "brands" definitely show up on multiple peoples' vlogs which these days leads me to fast forward. Not good for their analytics if so. . .
I fast forward too if it’s not properly integrated!
Yes love this!!
Love your honesty and that you stick to what appeals to you.
I've learnt to take youtube collab/sponsorships with a grain of salt after the Cosette situation.
If I'm interested in an item or first time buying from a company, I try to watch as many youtube videos and comments from viewers who've bought the item. There's also Trustpilot and reddit and other review sites. Even with sites like Trustpilot, a company can put up fake good reviews, so I mainly read the negative reviews.
If I see a youtuber unbox/feature something and then never see them wearing it, I think that's pretty obvious they did it just for the money.
I've always wondered if youtubers would buy some of these products if they had to pay with their own money and you've answered that about Idyl.
With Zoomoni and Samorga, once you add shipping to Australia, I find they become expensive. I use KD Australia, and they do the job, wouldn't say its super high quality and they don't offer the thinner felt version.
There's an oversaturation of certain brands that I just fast forward through now. I can understand though that it takes time and effort to create these videos and that some youtubers rely on collabs/sponsorships for funds. As long as they are upfront about it being a sponsored video or gifted item.
Yes the shipping is pretty crazy but they do a great job, I don’t know if I’d buy as many as I’m now gifted that’s for sure!
Sooo many thoughts….. I detest *most* sponsored videos, the over sponsored ones in particular…. those stupid roses in a box, lily silk which either has a nominal amount of silk in the items and/or is over priced, items sponsored that you never see the influencer using or wearing again, mid range brands like quince or polene promoted by luxury youtubers, that again you never see again…. Bah… the scam of it…. Plated jewelry sold at ridiculous prices…. The list goes on and on… the worst scam for me, well the two worst scams both “diamond” related… chocolate diamonds which are just inclusions given a name huge marketing scam, but number one is….. “lab-grown diamonds! Uggg makes me crazy! I don’t eat fake meat, I don’t wear fake diamonds…. The are mass produced with a molecule of a diamond aka carbon, and priced in the THOUSANDS!! Insanity!!! A cz is worth just as much. These poor ladies are being scammed into buying them in engagement rings. Once the truth is released they will be so sad, and it is most womens forever ring! It breaks my heart and angers me at the same time. Total con…. Eek, I didn’t know I had all of that in me…. Sorry
You needed to let it out and I am nodding furiously!!! Hope you feel better now!
True, though I think Je Suis Lou is good in continuing to show and talk about Polene
I like Vivaia flats and have 2 pair but I wouldn’t buy their winter boots because I prefer leather. I used an Ateliers Auguste code from an influencer to buy a bag, and a Sarah Flint code for boots. Other than that, I keep an eye on Lily Silk because I’ve been on the hunt for a navy cashmere sweater for the past two years. I looked at trench coats from Goelia this season because Lux Purse Love looked great in her collab, but balked at the price (because I’m saving for a more expensive coat).
Great to hear your experience, thanks for sharing!
I have so much respect for you now!! Thanks for the video! Ive never clicked on a single link when I see RUclipsrs promoting these brands ! I find it in poor taste especially when it's half of the video and the influencers are trying their very best to say good things about the brand for 10mins just so they get a check.... really annoying
It’s definitely a challenging and divisive topic!
Appreciate the video and agree that people have different reasons for doing collaborations. My extremely small channel has gotten emails and I have yet to do a collaboration because the right one has not come along. Mostly companies reach out to me that haven’t watched a video. I did receive an email from a handbag company. However , I turned it down because I didn’t like their products. I won’t talk about a company for the same reasons you mentioned. I recently had a company throw around the word ambassador but only wanted to give me a 40% discount code to try their products. I thought that was the craziest offer I have gotten so far! You want me to pay you for your products and you get free advertising for all my hard work 🤔!!!!??? That’s a hard pass.
Crazy right?!
Aaah, a QLDslander did a zenplus collab and I felt she didn’t disclose it was a collab now I look back….
💁🏻♀️
Liked this topic as it is a challenging one to unpack. Besides creating videos when I can, I mainly watch or listen in. From that, I feel like some collabs are overdone. I’ve checked some sites out but I don’t really give in or find something I like. I think I tend to buy when the creator works with the company to design something rather than a product that isn’t limited or special edition, (everyday for the brand).
That’s a good point! Thanks for sharing
Yeah people doing designs with LilySilk or Ana Luisa at least has them somewhat involved with the brand than just talking about a random product
Most collaborations I just fast forward now … although your birkin charm was pretty nice, and I’m not usually one for charms
More to come 🤭😂
Can you do a video on your visit to Paris? Your views on safety as a tourist, shopping luxury and whether it was safe taking your luxury bags walking Paris streets, views on pick pocketing, tourist scams etc. we heard it is getting worse compared with UK, US, Australia or northern Asia, especially luxury shopping and roaming the Parisian streets and restaurants. Your views and experience PLS?
Sure I'll talk about it! I was there last year and found it to be perfectly safe!
@@DaylesAddiction thank you😃
Thank you ❤
I think as long as youtubers are honest about the whole deal and it's fits with their channel, personal style it's totally fine, it's when it something so left field from their normal style or topics that it's just feels like pushing products for the sake of it which is what I don't like.
Yes, it’s gotta align
I just love how you stay true to yourself and honest with us your subscribers. This is just one of your many endearing qualities lovely Dayle. Thank you again for the Idyl pieces, it was so kind of you but then that is the sort of person you are. I must say after trying them I would not spend my money on them. It was good to be able to see them in the flesh so to speak as I have seen so many RUclipsrs endorse them. Diamond is my birthstone and let's face it you can't beat the real deal.😁 Much love to you and your dad. Jenni. XX 💜💜
That’s great to know Jenni! They really are no big deal!
Loved this topic - I’m very cynical when it comes to collabs … however, when they aren’t one and done and feature regularly I become far more trusting of the RUclipsrs opinion ! I also must admit I get very bored of influenced items … cue the coach Carryall, Idyl jewellery and the Neverfull reversible … yawn !!
Mix it up people!!!
Amen!🙌 I couldn’t agree more with your sentiments. I had been saving all my collab request emails to do a similar type video one day as I’ve had many you’ve already mentioned reach out to me as well. Nothing wrong with collabs or sponsorships at all but it really is up to us as viewers to decide if it’s just an ad or authentic. I don’t need more “stuff” that I wouldn’t want to pay for myself. I’m saving my “collab virginity” for something special 😂
Oh that’s darling! I love that! Definitely save it for something special babe!
Keep that chastity belt on tight S 😂
Looking Pretty 💕
🥰
Oh Dayle! 😂 I loved getting Idyl but they won’t send me anymore free jewelry. 😢I love all my current sponsors but on the occasion I work with one that I don’t like, I won’t do it a second time. I’ve even deleted the mentions before from my posted videos😂😂😂😂😂. You’ll never catch me doing the silk stuff, can you see me wearing anything silk??? ❤❤❤❤
Oh Winnie I think you’d love some silky goods!!
I do occasionally by things from collabs and I am usually happy, particularly with Monica Vinader. I like the designs of Ana Louisa jewellery however the plating does dull after a few months. I love lab grown Diamonds as they are beautiful quality for half the price of real diamonds, however I go to my local jeweller who can source them from his regular stone company and can make them into a necklace or earrings just like regular diamonds at a lower price point less than Idyl. I don't understand why the high end influencers collab with Goellia, their clothes are overpriced and boring and I'm so sick of Lily Silk, I look terrible in silk shirts and when you actually watch these influencers they all just wear the same couple of Cashmere jumpers all the time but you can get cashmere jumpers from H&M and Marks and Spencer's or Boden for what looks like the same quality for a more affordable price. 😄
All the RUclipsrs got sponsored for Ana Luisa, now no one talks about them. Now everyone talks about idyl; soon no one will talk about them and there will be a different one
When some brand is doing so much collab there is some glitch I feel.. a good product do not need too much of a propaganda..
Oh absolutely- particularly when they are on every channel it’s too much!
@@DaylesAddictionyeah that comes off a bit obvious, it would be better if they organised it with all their RUclipsrs to space out their adds
"Hat boxes" !!!!!😅
They are 🙈😂
Great video, hair looks gorgeous. I don't understand why they think people who wouldn't buy Coach would buy lab diamonds , crazy 😅
De Beers is using lab diamonds as well now to be fair
It’s not hard to spot the disingenuous product placements. 😂
Some just don’t fit!
This is such an important topic, for me the biggest sponsor turn offs are Idyl and Lily Silk, i stop watching the videos when they are involved. 😅 There is this one luxury RUclipsr who seems to do her vids around the sponsors, I cant watch her vids, it feels kinda insulting, she masks the vids being "helpful" and "informative". It pisses me off so much, she must think we cant see through it 😅
Yeah don’t fool me - just say I need to do an ad placement!
What about RUclips merch? Would you purchase anything from a well-known RUclipsr? I only have purchased 2 shirts from 2 well known RUclipsrs. I wear them to lounge around in. For basic fashion it was a bit pricey.
Here's a video idea, "buying/reviewing products from companies who want to collab with me"
*not sponsored*
Ha ha - but then I’d have to buy things I don’t want! I have handbag hooks for merch, but I also use them all too!
Interesting video Dayle I follow an Australian woman on insta and utube she did a review about the dyson air wrap years ago said she hated it wouldn’t recommend it , a while ago she was obsessed with it , also she hides her lux purchases now and promotes other brands that obviously pay her , she used to say she preferred more expensive clothing and wouldn’t purchase anything else , she now has links ect to purchase what she is paid it sorry long comment but this has turned me completely off , I believe what u stated if it’s not your style ect why promote it clearly it’s just to make money which yes I also understand but that’s totally fake and a big put off
I really struggle with the hustle - so not luxurious
If it legitimately pertains to the subject matter that’s one thing. So someone may have a dodgy bag and they get it authenticated and during that process they discuss Legit Grails, hmm ok.
Then there are some videos that are just a bit too obvious - ie we are talking about my favourite things and I will spend the first 10 mins on idyll even though I have cupboards of luxury items. Does not quite gel.
There are also some examples that are maybe creators trying to come up with new brands to talk about. I’m never sure if they actually do like these brands? - Sen Reve springs to mind.
Oh Sen Reve they were the days! 😂
Yeah I think Purseonfleek was the only one who liked Senreve, everyone else just did adds for their money ;)
Honestly, in a sea of collab videos, this is so refreshing! Not knocking anyone who accepts brand offers on a regular basis but I’m 100% with you, if a product doesn’t align with my style or shopping preferences, I’d much rather decline the offer than play pretend in a sponsored video. Do I sometimes second guess the amount of collab offers I turn down? Absolutely! So thank you for sharing your take in this and making me feel less alone☺️
Well there is at least two of us lovely!
I am loving the hair color!!!!!
Thank you! On the way to grey!
I rejected S Deer aswell, cause I didn’t like their designs - but I absolutely LOVE Goelia, it’s exactly what I like in clothing 🙈
It’s so good when you can get a collab that fits all criteria! Still waiting on Farfetch! 😂
12:26 I kinda understand now... They're doing questionable collaborations like, To a content creator #CharismaMonaee who does "STORYTIMES " . Now I need to question about Charisma😅.
💖
If i watch a video on handbags & they spend 10 mins talking about jewellery or skincare, I'll fastforward through it. I'm not interested. Most sponsored pieces take up way too much of the video & if it's not related to video content, I'm not interested.
The funny thing is they only ask for 3 mins but I think it’s almost impossible to do!
@DaylesAddiction yeah most go on for 10 or more minutes. I don't care about their jewellery or American ready meals (some of the knitting channels I watch are sponsored by ready meals 🤷🏼♀️). 😁
I think it is great that you don't do collabs featuring items that appropriate for the northern hemisphere season. I always cringe when Aussie RUclipsrs do this and are not about to travel to the northern hemisphere--it doesn't feel genuine at all.
No it’s definitely ‘free stuff’
I think these collaborations, which often involve low-quality products (and I don’t understand why they call them affordable luxury!), often reveal the RUclipsr’s true personal style and fashion sense. You don’t know if you should believe the Chanel cardigan they wear or the Goelia cardigan they say is Chanel inspired!
💯!!!
You, my dear, have integrity. There are certain people I watch on YT that I trust. You're one of them. 🩷
Thank you!
