As a pre-med student who studied dermatology and spent 3 years regrowing my hair after a bad bleaching experience (and no personal bias toward Tati) the ingredients are exactly what I took to regrow my hair. From 18 inches to 42 inches HEALTHILY. With no split ends. (No heat or harsh chemicals too) The ingredients seem legit.
I worked in nutraceuticul manufacturing and packing company as a QA inspector for almost 8 yrs. I now work in Pharmaceuticals for a major well known brand.... 16 yrs experience working in FDA ,cGMP, cGLP regulated enviroments. From what she is saying about the processes, testing, and packaging is 100 percent correct. I also have a degree in business administration so what she is saying about wholesaling is also correct. To me I'd say she sounds credible. Just my thoughts based on my own knowledge and experience.
I just wish when Tati did the reveal video she had brought one of the experts she’s working with on with her to discuss all of the concerns ppl were inevitably going to have. A dr, pharmacist, nutritionist, someone that she’s been working with. I think it would have been more profession and eased a lot of fears.
Daniela I don’t think she had bad intentions, I really don’t, and I believe that she believes in this product. I agree that she isn’t about ppl asking so many questions though. But as consumers, it’s our right.
Tati, I watched the whole video. And I really didn’t think I would watch a 52 minute video and listen to every single word, but I did. First of all, your composure throughout your video has really impressed me. With all the negative feedback, name-calling, and hate, it is extremely difficult to not respond with the same. But you showed your audience how to be professional. You calmly responded to all the controversy with details of your journey on Halo Beauty. It truly shows your level of maturity and why you are a successful person. The fact that you don’t replicate negativity and that you use times like these to grow and learn sets you apart from other RUclipsrs and truly defines your success. Now, with Halo Beauty, I can see why there was so much controversy. People were taken a back by such an unexpected launch. This type of video with all the details of Halo Beauty’s journey should have been made before the launch, so that the audience would have known in depth of what they were going to spend their money on. With that said, I believe in your passion behind making and selling the Halo Beauty vitamins. The careful sourcing of your ingredients, decisions to make it vegan and gluten, sugar, and soy free, the fair pricing of it, and so much more that we cannot see prove your honest intentions to make effective supplements for your subscribers. I want you to know that I am a supporter of you and your brand. I feel bad that you are going through undeserved hatred and criticism, but I believe that time will only tell how great your brand is. For all the hard work you put into not only creating the vitamins, but also uploading 5 times a week and maintaining honesty and integrity in your channel, you deserve all the success and more. Lots of love from a fan.
Jenny Pysh I agree! Also, something that really bothered me is a comment that said she got really unprofessional after 9 minutes and it took me aback! Especially with the comments about her family, I thought she handled everything really professionally!
Julia Aho With all the false rumors intending to hurt Tati, she definitely responded appropriately, in my opinion. Her emotions on that subject conveyed how intrusive and inappropriate the rumors were, not how she’s unprofessional. If it were me, I’m not sure if I would even have the guts to do as Tati did!
My husband has been highly active in supplements for the last 20 years and we actually have almost all the ingredients of this supplement in our pantry (which I thought was funny). I showed him the ingredients and he said that these are all good/great ingredients. His only thought was the price was high and some of the ingredient amounts were very little and this video explains the reason for that throughly. I’m sure the bottle design costs more as well. I will be giving this a try, I’m excited to see if I see any results.
Can you please post a close up picture of your face, around your eyes, etc., when you first started taking the vitamin versus today? A picture of your hair before would be very helpful, too.
Well, seeing that hair takes 1/2 in to grow a month and the vitamins will show results in the new growth only, we'd need a closeup of her roots. (I say this because the vitamins won't affect hair already grown since it only absorbs from outside sources, not from the root. Like something with veins would.) Same with nails, being that they grow the same and are made of the same thing as hair. The only true results with something like this would be the skin. Skin can be tricky because skin can absorb vitamins as well, so it wouldn't be a true test. It'd be really hard and take at least a year to see results.
Taking a hot moment to appreciate a RUclipsr that addresses questions and concerns from her subscribers instead of waiting for the storm to blow over. Classy and mature, just like how Tati has always been.
Solilaquee exactly instead of ignoring her subscribers or ignoring stuff but yet she’s still getting dragged and being named called and saying she has no sales etc. people are so selfish and sad
I may not have interest in this product, but I've been watching you for years and I will continue to. You are a ray of sunshine, and your marriage is just precious. If people don't like the vitamin, don't buy it. Big whoop 🤦♀️ You go Tati, you go! 😘
I finally gave in and purchased your Halo vitamins, supplements, skin quenchers... I have to admit, I did not want to like them simply because they are kind of pricey. But, Tati, I have had issues with dry skin for as long as I can remember, I live in the desert, and I thought there was never going to be anything that would correct it for longer than an hour or so… In one week I have seen dramatic differences in the hydration of my skin, in the elasticity of my skin, and I cannot wait to see other improvements as I continue using them. Thank you so much! Your product is fantastic!!!💋💋💋🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇
@@angelica534 I've been using Halo for 6 months & was so mad that I liked them as much as I did. My skin has never looked so good. I'm 47 & some of my firmness has returned. Don't even get me started on my hair & nails. 🤚
You guys are just too much. 😂 You feel like you’re getting yelled at? That she’s being condescending? She’s sticking up for herself. Of course she’s mad, people are attacking her MOTHER for God’s sake. People are making false accusations for stuff they read online. Yeah, maybe it was her mistake for not giving the complete information when she posted the video about her vitamins but she’s HUMAN. Cut her some slack. She’s in her right to be angry and hurt. I can understand her and although she didn’t talk as calm as she always does, I didn’t feel “yelled at” because I know it wasn’t directed to me. So don’t criticize the fact that she spoke her mind to defend herself. Tati has always been a classy lady and she always will be, so chill tf out.
I wish you'd done a behind-the-scenes/the-making-of documentry type video. And I wish you had before and after photos of people taking your vitamin. I love you Tati but you're the one responsible for that, it's your company. We shouldn't be the ones shelling out our hard earned money and then posting our results. I'll wait for the skincare and colour makeup.
Although I have no intention on buying the product I have to say I think the way people have come for you in completely unacceptable, I think it's utterly ridiculous and I stand by you 100%
Sugar Bear Hair didn’t have before and after pics either but bc every famous person under the sun endorsed it no one cared!!! Tati is one of the most genuine youtubers, why is everyone making such a big deal out of this!? Stand strong Tati! Love you!!!💕💞
But sugar bear hair is not very affective at all... They are popular because of their marketing strategy and their use of celebrities and influencers to promote their product. Popularity does not equate to quality.
Dolly Oliver this is a really good point. I have seen so many pictures of people with those gummy bears in their mouth saying “this did wonders for my hair” but you never see a picture of their hair before. Do people honesty believe the Kardashians use $20 gummy bears? Please.
You have the right idea; Nutrition, Skin Care and Make Up!!! That's the smart approach to beauty. Don't let ignorant, jealous people upset you. Classy of you to offer this full explanation, but please Waste no more time on negative people, the rest of us are looking forward to the next products. Negative Nancys move along,👣👣👣 no one is forcing you to be here. Hugs be happy Tati!!!💄😇💄
When people have finished your bottle of the vitamins, it's normally gets thrown away. I would like to see what you can do with all the plastic container. Maybe ask people to return them to reuse them.
I think a little bit of market research could have really helped Tati here. I'm a huge fan of her.. I think a series of videos before the launch showing behind the scenes and interviews with scientists/doctors... Or even a series now could possibly help the backlash
Weweh Journey I actually do a lot of research for any products that cost a lot of money. For something as simple as a cleanser I'll watch RUclipsrs, read reviews online, research the ingredients and in depth blog reviews. If all of those reviews/information aren't adding up I won't purchase a product. I'm hoping this line will just take a note from this launch and do some market research in the future.
Weweh Journey even if I'm buying a twenty dollar phone case I look up the reviews. If you don't you are throwing money out! I guess some of us are just more mature with our spending habits than others!
This could have been a very professional and elegant comeback video if you had simply included 1) before and after pics 2) sit down and q&a with a physician 3) shown a video of lab and how your product goes from start to finish. Short, straightforward and a respectful way to deal with negativity and backlash from your own subscribers.
No one owes you that. If you dont have confidence in her product dont buy it. You have never required that much from any company for buying vitamins stop being such a hater. Christ.
Tati proves to us what works and what doesn’t, what’s worth it and what’s not. So yes, I think she owes it to us, to prove to us that it works. ƪ(˘ 。˘)ʃ
Most of their photo graphs are bulshit anyway. Most girls transformation pics that are advertised along side weight loss supplements are actually from hard work, not the supplement.
While I'm not supportive of the hate I can understand people being skeptical. I think the reason that a lot of people are up in arms about this product is because it's really not what we would expect from Tati. Yes she might have briefly mentioned vitamins in videos before but that is not the main focus of her channel. When she said she was launching a line we all expected color cosmetics because that is what she tests and what we trust her to talk about, so these vitamins are coming completely out of nowhere and she hasn't built our trust in her to review things like that. I would also like to see the complete published clinical trial because it looks like the only thing on the website are results from a single person and an N of 1 isn't particularly convincing.
Pia KUNŠTEK cosmetics that have a range of colors in them? Like pigmented eye shadows, foundations with a wide range or even perhaps a line of lip stick?
As someone with a background in lab research and medicine I feel like I have to clarify the whole no studies thing. When you set out to create a new drug or supplement you formulate what you think will work based on science and previous clinical trials of ingredients. This is why Tati can say her ingredients are clinically proven to do certain things. Once a medical drug is created to treat something, the FDA requires that it go through efficacy testing as a whole because unfortunately what logically should work doesn't always actually work well in the body. Supplements and vitamins don't go through a clinical trial to prove efficacy after creation because they aren't approved by the FDA. Yes, this means there's a higher chance Halo Beauty won't work the way it logically should than, say, a cholesterol medication. But it also doesn't mean it's automatically a scam. Now I totally understand where some of you are coming from, assuming Tati would have just done studies on her own to prove efficacy. But if she were to run her own clinical trial for these the price per month would skyrocket. With a medication, you have a population that is forced to consume your creation (because they have a specific disease) and you have giant insurance corporations forced to pay way more than $40 a month for said people to take the medication you've created. This means there's a return on investment even if you charge an extremely high price to cover the cost of bringing your creation to market. With supplements, you have to convince a population to purchase from you, so the cost has to be reasonable. One last point, anticipating some of y'all thinking Tati is wealthy enough to do these studies anyway...no. The average cost to bring a medication to market is over 2.5 BILLION, including formulating a product and then paying for safety and efficacy testing (the company pays for this, the FDA just makes sure it was done well). A clinical trial alone costs upwards of $35,000 PER PARTICIPANT. So I'm sure even Tati agrees a clinical trial would be nice, but financially it just isn't feasible to have efficacy studies on the complete supplement.
Lupita Gonzalez how do you know they don’t question it? Where’s your proof? Have you been involved in every conversation they’ve had, every thought they’ve had, every single RUclips comment they’ve left, everything they’ve written down? Nope. Didn’t think so!
Miss Mollie's world honestly that’s a little harsh? Especially when she wasn’t looking for you comments. Lol if you don’t like what ppl say or comment on just move on there’s no point of pissing everyone off bc you think you are right . Girl let us have an opinion, you have opinion too but you don’t see anyone attacking you on THE SMALLEST COMMENT . She doesn’t have to give you proof idiot. It was just an opinion. Girl pls.
Yuhan Hu a lot of ppl just got mad bc it’s something random she chose to build and that’s fine! But it’s unique and everyone’s trying to find out ways to make her mad and no one ever gets mad when Kylie does the sugarbear thing lol it’s a mess
Many people here doesn't understand why tati is mad . She isn't angry bcs people are asking question . She is angry bcs some dumb people are making negative comment without real facts and some are spreading false rumors , attacking her mother for no reason
Just saying.. but I dont ask for clinical studies when buying super fancy acne creams or anything. Or make up. Or food. Or anything. I bought a random vitamin last week at walmart because I wanted to try it out. Everyone is just so mean because there is a face to the product, and someone they can complain to. Nobody complains to Nature Made or anything.
Hi Tati, I do still have some questions. On your HaloBeauty website, you site clinically proven and give examples where 90% of people saw X and 95% saw Y changes. Can you please give us these studies? And when you say that 90% of people saw fine lines reduced, is this a study on just the ingredient that is intended to reduce fine lines? Or is this with the entire formula? If you have these results, then why are there not before and afters? Has this product been tested, in its full formulation, with a group of testers? Or are you just testing key ingredients and blending them together, hoping the result will be the same? It doesn't make sense to me why you wouldn't have before and afters if you did clinical trials...
Emily Severeid-Geiss this comment needs to be pinned and top comment as it's the same questions a lot of people are asking but still don't have the answers.
Did you even watch this in its entirety! She didn’t want to pay a model to produce before and afters. She wants them to be honest before and afters. She could’ve easily gotten a model, snapped a pic without makeup on her and then put her in hair and makeup for the after.
Or even a better pre-market strategy, like contacting 100 subscribers, give them 3 free bottles and ask them to be the image of the before and after... You win the trust by using your own people, not wait for them to show the results after all this crazy backlash...
Yes please. I appreciate the depth you took here but the actual clinical studies were a big question from the very beginning and I don't feel it was addressed here either. It is one thing to say it is clinically tested but we need to read and see it so we can make our own decisions. Thanks
Sydney McWhorter ikr me too! I guarantee u that half the ppl posting all these comments & doing all the research have absolutely no intentions to purchace the product.... Just internet trolls that needs something to do!!!!!
Inclusivity not just skin color!!! Exactly what I shouted out when I saw some videos critiquing every single word and putting everything she said under the microscope!!!oh my god!! her brand so far has been the most professional/transparent launch here on RUclips
Ida Mol I order mine and I was excited but it’s been 8 days I’ve messaged customer service 3 times over the passed 4 days and have had no response. When did you receive yours?
Hey Tati, just wanted to let you know the the problem wasn't actually you coming out with vitamins it was the launch itself. The launch was poorly executed in my opinion, you should have done a 25 min video with an expert explaining the process of coming up with it and the ingredients. I don't trust vitamins but congratulations on your launch. I wished your team did a better job with the marketing. I'll be interested in trying out your skincare and makeup in the future.
prmcleod77 i havent 😂. But knowing how the internet is, I knew she would receive backlash.i love tati so I was kinda dissapointed but I'm happy she did something new
What a silly comment. I guess you had no way to counteract her point, so came up with this gobbledy-goop instead. Tati is a beauty guru who talks about nothing about makeup and has never talked about vitamins or even proven she has any knowledge in creating them or gone much into detail. Then she talks about a massive beauty lauch she is doing, and obviously everybody would think it would be makeup or perhaps skincare if not makeup, but she comes out with hella expensive vitamins that she merely claims that they work with no evidence. It was in every way a poor way to make your first lauch.
This is why it's so important to know your audience when you launch a product. If Tati had launched makeup, we would have all jumped on board because we trust her opinion on makeup. Heck, even skincare. We know that she knows her stuff on those topics. Both would have been crazy successful. But Tati launched a vitamin instead. I had no idea she was passionate about vitamins! Where are the dedicated videos about how important it is to take vitamins? Casually mentioning vitamins in a few videos is not enough. In Tati's case, It would have been smarter from a business standpoint to launch makeup/skincare and then launch the vitamin, not the other way around. I understand Tati's frustration, esp all the stuff with her mom(WTF?!) and that person posting the address, but I just can't buy a vitamin from someone who has only mentioned vitamins a few times on their channel in a very casual manner. I had no idea she was so passionate about vitamins. That's the issue here, for me at least.
Heather Ewan EXACTLY !! I totally agree . I would’ve bought her palette in a heart beat . But a vitamin ?? Weird ... it seems like the vitamin was the smartest thing money wise to do on her part since she’s charging 40$+shipping a month .
I think it would have been the same thing. If she put the same effort into the make-up or skincare, it will not be cheap and the negativity would begin. "Where is your proof on the efficacy of the ingredients, etc." I am more likely to try the supplements than spend on yet another palette of eye shadow. I love that she is going her own way, starting from the inside out. It was definitely a surprise, that is for sure!
Heather Ewan I don't think it's the vitamin she is passionate about, I think it is what the vitamin DOES that she is passionate about. Help hair growth, healthier skin etc...
So u ONLY buy vitamins from people who have a youtube channel & have made a career & have many videos about them? I have watched her long enough to know that I MYSELF trust her opinion... That's me. If u don't, ok. If u need vitamins from someone who talks about them 24/7, find them! RUclips is a big platform! Of course make up would've been a better launch product! So what's that say that she launched a vitamin instead? Don't wanna try it, fine. I cant afford to so I wont. But I wont judge her or her launch or her marketing regardless. SHE knows herself & passions. Not we.
Its as simple as this... if u arent interested in this product dont BUY it! As she already mentioned her brand will expand. there will be something out there for everyone. P.s. when it rains you grow ❤
Tati has created a reputation for herself based on honest reviews and this launch contradicts that. If people do not trust her brand because of this product, they won't trust or care about her future products.
Even if she were to come out with a cosmetic line, there would be people to drag that down too. She cant please everyone and people need to back off. Let those who actually bought the product review and show their results.
TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO JOINED TATIS POST SISTER BREAK-UP. Just a welcome from another fan. I've loved her for years, so glad more and more people are seeing her dedication.
One thing I learned from watching Shark tank, if youre launching a new product claiming something, you need to run your own trials. Still not clear on if that was done or not ?
Not just run the trials, but publish them on the website and talk about them when questioned about it. AND show before and after photos. The collagen powder that I take from a local store even does that; you can see the before and after of one woman right on the container, and the clinical trials on their website. (Two different trials, double-blind studies even!)
+Tyler Pistachio - The collagen powder that I take is an internal one. And I saw a 20% reduction in fine lines just as they said I would (up to 20%) - and just as the clinical trials showed women had reductions up to. Had it not worked, I would have gotten my money back. Edited to add that I didn't have as much of a hood reduction on my hooded eyes as the image on their packaging, but it does look like I had a bit of an eye lift there without having resorted to surgery.
I don't know how some of you can't see how passionate she is about what she does. Whether you like the product or not you can't say she hasn't put her full heart into making this and into her entire channel. I have so much respect for you Tati, I'm so proud to have called you my favourite beauty guru for the past few years. Can't wait to see what else you'll come out with
Damn Tati. You're what's up. I've slept on ya for years not gonna lie. I know this is a crazy time for you but I've never seen someone so real online. You got a new subscriber and I'll be definetly doing a six month trial for your vitamins. Good luck and have a great day! Edit: also just wanna say. Even if people are upset with you not releasing make up first I really feel like this IS the way to go about it. Releasing make up first would make your vitamin seem second rate. Having the vitamin release first shows where your focus has been so you're not just doing a whole beauty line and releasing some random vitamin. I truly wouldn't be as inclined to try the vitamins if I saw a bunch of make up along with it.
Hey just wanna say if you're going to start taking her vitamins it's best to just take HSN or just the Kiwi. She recommends targeting which one you choose to use based on what best meets your goals and needs
I can’t believe this has all blown up so much. I trust Tati wholeheartedly as a reviewer, so I completely understand people asking questions. All they’ve ever known Tati as is a reviewer so when they see her going outside of the box they panic. But I’ve learned a lot in this 50 minute video so imagine how much she has learned over the years she’s been working on it. You tell her not to get defensive but she’s put everything she has into this so why would she not defend it?
I like the idea of the vitamin but it would’ve been nice to see you try this for 30 days and post a before and after of your hair, face, and nails. I feel like nobody knows if this actually works because there’s no photo evidence of the effects. While the ingredients do promote health, the vitamins are very similar to a lot of items out there. Overall, i won’t be buying this (shipping to NY was $18 plus it’s way more expensive then what you can find at CVS) but I wish you luck on this brand and I’m excited to see more. Xxx
Thank you for making this video. It was super helpful to see the true side of Halo Beauty. This seemed so genuine and I really appreciate that you take care of us and your subscribers relationships with you. Love and peace-💞
The one thing I don't get is why Tati is upset about people looking into her company (address, people working there etc.). In European countries at least a lot of this info is kept in public registers exactly so that people can find them and make informed decisions about buying a company's products. If that info is public in the US too, why get upset by people doing due diligence? That's the kind of thing that gets me uneasy here (not to mention in the EU you HAVE to list ingredients so to us it's funny that that is supposed to be a big selling point).
BZJoQu as someone from Europe... that it not entirely true... companies list ingredients but do not list ALL ingredients specifically and often find ways to get around the fact that they’ve put an ingredient in, in which may be controversial... ❤️❤️ from the uk
BZJoQu Yes, I completley agree! It’s a bit insane that such info about a brand, especially a health brand, should be as well kept as Area 51-A Romanian here✋🏻
I am still confused by the saw palmetto. I don't want to be blocked for asking this because I do love your reviews. Anyway, my husband takes saw palmetto for his prostate. The bottle is 320mg tablets. On the warnings, it says "this product is intended for use by men and is not intended for use by women." It is not a blend of men's vitamins. It is a stand alone bottle of saw palmetto. I'm still just confused. I looked at several brands this weekend at the drug store and every bottle of saw palmetto did say that it was not intended for use by women. I didn't see any that were above the 320mg doses like my husbands. Are there any studies showing that in your dosage it is safe women? I'm sincerely asking:)
Koula Knox I take saw palmetto every day. Twice a day. It helps for people who have trouble emptying their bladder. I take it because I have to urinate all the time especially while sleeping. I asked a doctor about me taking it and they said there isn't an issue with women taking it. I don't know any other use for it for anyone I just know it works for that specific thing for me
Koula Knox she did address this in the video. You should rewind and watch again. The amount of saw palmetto in her blend is not high enough to cause any adverse effects and actually helps to quell the side effects of biotin
I think regardless of what you read about dosages I would strongly consider asking your physician instead of getting more confused reading comments and online articles.
Gigi Johnson I did understand what she said. What I'm saying is that our bottle is only 320mg and says not suitable for women. She said a 2000mg dose. However the bottle my husband has is only 320mg and is not suitable for women. 320mg is what you would get from taking two of Tati's vitamins a day.
I genuinely am so sorry that your product had so much backlash. I do think that a lot of the negativity was unwarranted, but I think a lot of this could have been avoided with a more clearer launch. We really didn’t even have a clue about the product or your knowledge on the product. I trust you and love your beauty advice, but that trust only extends to makeup. It doesn’t extend to my health, without having these types of conversations like in this video. I appreciate you coming out with this video, and really hope that the negativity doesn’t outshine the positivity. You have cleared up a ton of the questions I had. I’m so excited to follow the rest of your journey with Halo Beauty!
I think the problem that generated the whole controversy is that there was not an explanatory and extensive video about the product and everything that has formula and others. on the page it's all out but many wanted was the video this video would have been perfect before the launch including a video with the questions on the page would have been perfect
Alyssa maxwell Of course not if they had only read the questions on the page there would have been no problems .. but it is the internet there are crazy people and they are never satisfied with anything, but at least in the launch video or one followed by this before the release would have avoided some crazy things that are said ... what they say about their mother is another level no one should be judged by their religion, sexuality, race or preferences, each person has the right to do as they please. the family is not touched
She seems quite upset about the feedback she received, which is justified. But honestly, the lack of information and the fantastical claims of the launch video kind of shot her in the foot. I’ve been a long time follower and it has certainly lowered my trust in her word.
TheSparkleina I think she was expecting questions and stuff and was ready to answer but i don’t think she was expecting all the hate and all of the lies. i know i would be upset. but i do see where you’re coming from.
Madi Lira like, it’s honestly just conflicting. I can see that she’s put the work in, but tbh the nature of the product and the way it was launched has completely lost me. It has so little to do with her brand, the trust she talks about in this video which she has built up was for beauty stuff. Absolutely not vitamins which is something quite serious. It just seems like a wholly business move and not something genuine which is what I used to associate with Tati.
You're so strong. To work so hard, to really believe something, and to really push and actually talk to your subscribers and customers. Then to watch so many people accuse you so quickly and hurt you and you come out with a smile and very professional video. It's amazing, inspirational
Over something so simple. She's being different and herself. Not following the same same. And if you're worried then consult YOUR phycisian, not everyone's.
The Ale she'll be fine. The storm shall pass and anything she does now and in the future will be a success. She built her channel on people trusting her opinion. They need to remember that. I just don't feel she needed to address anything except information people have requested about the actual vitamins and shipping (which she answered in this video.) People are off their rocker, thinking she owes them more than that.
It makes me soooooo mad when specially women can NOT see successful women succeed. Instead of posting hating comments get your life together, study, get a job. Do something. You guys are the reason the world is the way it is. Live her alone if you don't want to buy it. Don't buy it but let her be stop being freaking haters and do something with your life. CONGRATULATIONS TATI THE BEST OF LUCK!
While i wont be purchasing the vitamines because I do not have the extra money for them, I am so excited as to where this brand will go with skin care and other items
I have a chronic medical condition and I talk to my doctor about everything from hot chocolate to Tylenol to vitamins. Anyone with a health issue knows this. Vitamins and makeup (and most other products) cater to the MAJORITY of people. Love you Tati!
I feel like all of the criticism came from the lack of information we was given before her launch. If this video came out before her launch I feel as if it would’ve been a lot smoother. I’ve learned so much more about her product just watching this video.We are not just gonna go out and buy something and take it because a person whom you probably never met told you to buy it. Of course you should talk w a doctor or pharmacist before taking anything. I will support Tati in her future products but not w the vitamin bc of personal reasons.
I think the marketing strategy chosen to launch this product was not the correct one. It would have helped to have on your site, interviews with doctors backing up your product, or as other brands have, cases showing as you say that your product really work As much as people may trust you, you got to consider that you are selling a health product. And how a health product is marketed it is not the same how a beauty or cosmetic product is marketed.
Coming out with a vitamin isn't a bad idea, but the introductory video should have been better & more inclusive of all the information you now spill because of the backlash. Maybe a longer trial with different ages of your niche market, surveys, before & afters on yourself & others. People are rightfully going to ask about these important points before they spend their hard-earned cash on something not proved to them on video. That's all what was needed. More detailed information!
Tati, I’m not a person who usually comments or active on social media. This is a rare occasion I do want to say something. I am on my third bottle of halo and it has done wonders for me. The work you did is amazing. It is an honor to be able to try your product. Your dedication, the quality and how much thought you put to this product and the results are so so amazing. Keep up the good work. Love you!
I don’t know anyone who goes into the pharmacy and checks published medical articles before buying a SUPPLEMENT... people need to calm down... and get off webMD 😂 Tati, congratulations. You work hard and deserve your success.
Maria Cecilia Mateo well the big difference is that the brands in pharmacies are established. They are being sold at major retailers across the country and there is so much information and reviews about these products online. Halo beauty just came up out of nowhere with no reviews or proof that it works or is even safe
This Should have been your launch video. I believe it would have been a much better. outcome. A lot of viewers are upset because the initial launch video was so vague in the details of the product. You needed to provided this information before the release. Picture yourself as the consumers, would you have trusted a 5 min launch video on something that you would ingested. Probably not.
Grunda Edwards because hair gummie ads are so thorough with their ingredients and process. People are so worried about injesting bad things that's why the keep buying it regardless....
Who cares? She's not trying to stick someone for their money 1 time.... she wants to slowly earn trust and doesn't plan to just be a one hit wonder obviously. It's only been a few days and we need to keep in mind to pick one another up as women and not try to push them down for doing something different. Appreciate a RUclipsr who does things very differently and I liked the no pressure feel of the environment on the day that she did talk about it. It was a really funny and good video
Grunda Edwards people usually buy vitamins at the grocery store without knowing a single thing about them, those aren’t FDA approved and they don’t even have to list all the ingredients or the real percentages. She posted the full ingredient list complete with the same warning that’s on every single vitamin bottle in existence, “ASK YOUR DOCTOR”
Lol do items at the store have an hour long launch video, let alone a five minute one?? What do you put in your body that has a launch video, and do you honestly take the time to do this amount of "research" on. Why would she need to go into this amount of detail normally. I really don't need to hear about the process of how the ingredients get to the facility, but she has to do this because everyone is freaking out over faulty internet research.
I was surprised the product was supplement. I'm not interested, but never say never. Having said that I am shocked at how quickly it went downhill, it seemed like an all out assault. I'll likely wait for the cosmetics. And I wish Tati all the best.
This is the type of video that should have been released pre sale. While it's late to the game, I appreciate that you've addressed it. It's like you said, we didnt have that trust pre launch.
I agree - this lengthy video definitely should have been released pre-launch as the announcement video seemed so brief and lacked explanation. All I really got from that was the name of the product and the launch date...and that’s about it. Not to mention the initial “shock” that it was in fact a vitamin when so many of us were expecting some sort of makeup or skincare product.
OMG GUYS ITS A VITAMIN, if you don’t like it don’t buy it and MOVE ON. Why are so many people so bothered, like this ruined their lives. There are so many beauty products out on the market, if she didn’t produce what it is you wanted then look somewhere else. It makes me so upset to see someone I trust being attacked over something she obviously worked hard on. It’s horrible that so many people in this world assume everyone does things with malicious intent. Most people who see this in others are that way themselves.
Delia Valdez i agree with everything except your last sentence. Some people may have experienced things in their lives that made them lose trust in others. Mistrusting people or seeing the worst doesn't mean they aren't trustworthy themselves or bad. Actively trying to bring down another person based on false information, that is truely malicious.
This says it all--- "Supplements are the Wild West,” says Dendy Engelman, M.D., a dermatologist in NYC. “They are not well regulated, so you can pretty much claim a lot of things that aren’t substantiated in science or in proof.”
I just want to see the inserts of the results of the trails, etc she's speaking about; I believe she has permission to say this information but as a public health major (any other major as well), we are not able to write papers, etc without evidence and citing such evidence. As a college student, it is important to see where the evidence comes from so we can be convinced that the source (Tati) is credible. If she put in these inserts of the trails, etc it would have helped strengthened her video completely; I wish Tati the best on her brand journey.
It astounds me that you have to clarify so much to people!! The ignorance is ridiculous and out right nastiness to you and you family and business is totally uncalled for. I relate to you on so many levels and I can sit and watch your videos all day (I actually have once or twice 😬😁). Keep doing what your doing, we love you for it!!❤️
This video honestly made me look up that Buzzfeed review she mentioned about finding lead in a supplement and guys....GUYS..... THAT'S THE SUGAR BEAR HAIR PILL. The one the Karshians and every Instagram model posts! I've been taking that crap for 8 months with barely any amazing results, and now I'm so embarressed I fell for that marketing scheme. Oh my god.
As long as you weren’t taking more than the recommendation dosage you’ll be okay. It’s never too late to stop, tati is right, the gummies are no good for you, its just extra sugar you don’t need.
I'm not all that impressed by the launch, but honestly I think the accusations mentioned are RIDICULOUS. Coming for a registered employee? Questioning James' involvement? Coming for her MOM? That crap is crazy.
When you talk about clinically tested are you talking about the individual ingredients or the pill as a whole have been clinically tested. Because from what you have been saying and the verbiage from your web site it sounds like the individual ingredients have been clinically tested, but not the pill in itself.
A biochemist is not a dietitian. It is recommended... NOT to take vitamins unless you have been tested to be deficient. Even still, vitamins could claim to have 40mg of a particular vitamin but could in reality have none or even toxic levels because they are not regulated.
I completely understand that a ton of this backlash went too far and was uncalled for. But I think a lot of people just wanted this information in the first video. It’s not that we don’t trust you, but the launch video just wasn’t as thorough as you always are, and the website wasn’t open yet when you made that video so it invited a lot of questions. You told us what it was and that it worked for you, but not why it worked or what was in it. That’s not enough information for me to buy a product (but also it’s not like I was angry either!). Now that you have explained, I’m intrigued! Maybe I’ll buy this. But we don’t just like you for your word, we trust you because you are thorough and thoughtful and transparent when discussing products. This is your first launch! There’s a lot to learn, and in the end this is really more of a marketing/PR issue. Maybe in the future give us the same amount of information as you would any other product at the start. I can understand that you’re upset that something you’ve worked so hard on and you were so excited about didn’t get the response you hoped for. But some of us just had some pretty normal questions about the launch, and it doesn’t feel good to be kinda yelled at for being the thoughtful consumers you always encourage us to be. No one’s word alone, not even yours, should ever be enough to make someone buy a product with little other information. Again, I understand how you feel, and a lot of what you’ve experienced has been uncalled for. But those crazy angry people aren’t buying from you no matter what you say, so try to sift that out from the normal concerns of normal people.
Ditto!! If she had gone over everything before this wouldn't have been an issue. Heck a short video about why she's passionate about vitamins would have helped!
Yea Catherine, and I completely understand how you feel. You are absolutely right about how Tati is normally very thorough when talking about products, and that she definitely should have included more information about her brand when she did her launch video, but about her "yelling" at those who are just curious about her products (as I'm sure you are), she wasn't intentionally trying to make you feel bad, she was simply addressing the fact that people are harassing and attacking her with false accusations, and that some of the things that those people are doing are crossing the line. She was targeting those specific issues and telling her viewers that it really hurt her. Also, the tone she used was kind of accusatory, but again, she has a solid point. If a customer is genuinely curious about something and they would like to learn more about it, then they as the consumer should look for factual information that is actually true. I'm not saying that all people do this, but many are "researching" her product and reading false information that simply isn't true, and maybe if they were truly interested then they should dig deeper and make sure that what they are reading is real information that can be backed up with factual evidence.
If you would come out with a typical highlighter like everyone else, people would have no issue. You are trying to be unique and they all went for you. Keep doing you and keep coming out with amazing products.
who does that? I understand the concerns and the critics but that's just not realistic, do you ask every brand to show you clinical trials? everytime you go to the drugstore? come one, that is ridiculous!
Even if everyone has the results...it would take a statistician and other clinical experts to analyze the results in order to make a decision on safety and efficacy.
no importa actually no because vitamins like these are made by actual "medical companies" or whatever and they have already created a trust for their consumers. She on the other hand is a makeup artist and this is completely different than what she does so yeah it would help if some clinical results could be shown
no importa I just think it would help her with all the skepticism. It’s unfortunate that this has turned into such a catastrophe, but if she wants to truly debunk the rumors, visual proof is going to go much further than her word. I hope her brand continues to be successful and the criticism falls away, but I feel she may need to go deeper to earn the trust back if many of her fans
I am absolutely disgusted by the topics in this video. It infuriates me that a knowledgeable, creative, & talented woman has to go on her RUclips platform to justify/explain herself to such ignorance. If she was a man would this be happening? Some of the topics Tati spoke about really hit a nerve with me. One of them being “I wouldn’t trust a woman that wears two foundations” can we take a moment and look how misogynistic that statement is? I think it’s great people want to get involved and be empowered. So I can understand that there can be some skepticism with a new supplement being put on the market. However, solely basing your skepticism on a person’s appearance or preferences is completely asinine. Tati I haven’t tried your product but I would like to. But I am going to do the smart and responsible thing FIRST and simply talk with my doctor. I’m intrigued by the formula but I have to make sure it’s okay for me to take. Common sense, right? I personally take many supplements to support my general & mental health. So it’s a bit of a ‘duh’ statement to just check with your doc. I think it is amazing how much you have invested into your product and how thorough you were with your video. Keep doing what you’re doing, because dear you are doing it well.
why are you bringing gender into this? we weren't criticizing her because she is a woman. we were criticizing the fact that she is a beauty guru and she decided to make a line of vitamins. Furthermore, she had no real clinical proof to back up the validity of her vitamin range. there were no before and after pictures or experts explaining the product. we didn't know how reliable her product was because she couldn't back her statements up.
Tiffany Liao your right it’s not about gender. it’s about the fact that you are so heavily reliant on a before and after lie to get a product than actually looking at what’s in the product.
Just a question?? If this wasn't your brand,how would you view it from all the information that was given?? If you were to review this,how would you review it?? I'm just curious if this wasnt your brand just looking at it from a different point of view.
I think you need to accept that some people just won’t get behind this, and that’s okay. Your channel didn’t get successful being a health channel, so people feeling confused by the first launch is inevitable. Still love you, your reviews, your videos.
Im far from hating I'll support tati no matter what, but I would like to have seen more factual information especially before and after pics... Just a little more
So you plan on giving us a tour or the lab...(which I doubt is a major concern to us) instead of showing the clinical studies results?? Which is what everyone wants to see just so we know if works?
A lot of clinical studies will have confidential results. Tati may well want to show these results, but can’t. Clinical testing means these products have been tested on humans. Human being that have consented to this data being produced from their experience...and the chances are there is a clause in the contract they signed stating all results will be confidential, or only available to those who need it....and as consumers you don’t actually need those results. I fully believe all products Tati brings out will have been tested appropriately...and she’s using these products on her own skin I assume, she wouldn’t do that if she wasn’t sure they were safe!
those results are still allowed to be published without names and information of participants. I doubt that all the participants in the clinical study refused to have their results published in the end, that is unreasonable. And if that turns out to be the case, Tati should not claim this is a clinically tested products if she is unwilling or cannot publish the results, findings and the methodology of the product.
Supplements don't have to be FDA approved. I think it is generally a good idea to stay away from them. I'm sure Tati has the best intentions, but let's face it, she isn't a chemist or a doctor.
Since you have been taking the vitamins yourself it would have been cool to see how nice your skin looks, like visual comparison. but the only images you have on your site is of you with make up on. Granted your make up looks flawless but you can't see your skin which I think is the main selling point. Two pictures of you in make up doesn't show me anything other than you slaying a look.
InsanePandes all the procedures she’s gotten done have a huge impact on how her skin looks too. You will not get her skin simply from ingesting some over priced vitamins
You need to pay attention to the beginning of most of her videos, abd you can see how gorgeous her skin looks. Maybe you've noticed some of the comments, too, where people remark that her skin looks flawless. Some even have asked her if she's pregnant because she's "glowing from within" which is what her product provides
She uses very expensive skin care and hair products on top of these vitamins so how do we know that it's just not these expensive treatments over the vitamins or vice versa?
As a health care professional I can say after trying the Kiwi formulation that it is very well developed and I personally love the product and would recommend it to patients.
Plain and simple Tati...I bought mine and can't wait to start taking the product, I trust you and if I don't see improvement I stop taking them just like anything else including makeup, creams etc..I'm so sorry that this happened to you but your handling this very professionally and with some humor...much success
Asking Tati to clarify information about the vitamins is okay, asking her for clinical trial photos is okay. But attacking her MOTHER is so not okay, y'all. Play nice, keep it professional and business related.
As a pre-med student who studied dermatology and spent 3 years regrowing my hair after a bad bleaching experience (and no personal bias toward Tati) the ingredients are exactly what I took to regrow my hair. From 18 inches to 42 inches HEALTHILY. With no split ends. (No heat or harsh chemicals too) The ingredients seem legit.
Katilyn Boyer I know! People are nuts, Tati is such a positive creator but has such a vicious viewer base
Katilyn Boyer girl what did you take? My hair is messed up from bleaching it too many times and I am looking for good hair and skin vitamins
Um please tell me what you tooo because girl I need new hair 😂
Omg please tell what you used Im in desperate need. My hair is so damaged and won’t grow. I trimmed it thinking it would grow but it’s stuck lol
I think she used Tati's vitamins
Will I personally buy this? No. Does that mean I should bash Tati because I don't want it? No. People who are just attacking her need to just stop.
But that would mean getting a life and being a decent person.
I worked in nutraceuticul manufacturing and packing company as a QA inspector for almost 8 yrs. I now work in Pharmaceuticals for a major well known brand.... 16 yrs experience working in FDA ,cGMP, cGLP regulated enviroments. From what she is saying about the processes, testing, and packaging is 100 percent correct. I also have a degree in business administration so what she is saying about wholesaling is also correct. To me I'd say she sounds credible. Just my thoughts based on my own knowledge and experience.
Amina Dockery commenting purely so that it will trend higher, cause people NEED to see this
Bump 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
agree!!
What is wholeing?
!!!!
“I don’t work with dumb people” that’s some life goals right there
I miss you Tati..you where always very motivational to my life ❤
I just wish when Tati did the reveal video she had brought one of the experts she’s working with on with her to discuss all of the concerns ppl were inevitably going to have. A dr, pharmacist, nutritionist, someone that she’s been working with. I think it would have been more profession and eased a lot of fears.
She thought everyone was going to blindly trust her but that's really not the case and now she's being defensive
Allison Brigandi She said IN THE VIDEO why she didn‘t...
Mercedes Scheffler ok, I get that-I still think she should have 🤷🏼♀️
Daniela I don’t think she had bad intentions, I really don’t, and I believe that she believes in this product. I agree that she isn’t about ppl asking so many questions though. But as consumers, it’s our right.
Allison Brigandi I don't think she has either but I think she definitely wasn't expecting people to question her (as they should).
Tati,
I watched the whole video. And I really didn’t think I would watch a 52 minute video and listen to every single word, but I did.
First of all, your composure throughout your video has really impressed me. With all the negative feedback, name-calling, and hate, it is extremely difficult to not respond with the same. But you showed your audience how to be professional. You calmly responded to all the controversy with details of your journey on Halo Beauty. It truly shows your level of maturity and why you are a successful person. The fact that you don’t replicate negativity and that you use times like these to grow and learn sets you apart from other RUclipsrs and truly defines your success.
Now, with Halo Beauty, I can see why there was so much controversy. People were taken a back by such an unexpected launch. This type of video with all the details of Halo Beauty’s journey should have been made before the launch, so that the audience would have known in depth of what they were going to spend their money on. With that said, I believe in your passion behind making and selling the Halo Beauty vitamins. The careful sourcing of your ingredients, decisions to make it vegan and gluten, sugar, and soy free, the fair pricing of it, and so much more that we cannot see prove your honest intentions to make effective supplements for your subscribers.
I want you to know that I am a supporter of you and your brand. I feel bad that you are going through undeserved hatred and criticism, but I believe that time will only tell how great your brand is. For all the hard work you put into not only creating the vitamins, but also uploading 5 times a week and maintaining honesty and integrity in your channel, you deserve all the success and more.
Lots of love from a fan.
Jenny Pysh
I agree! Also, something that really bothered me is a comment that said she got really unprofessional after 9 minutes and it took me aback! Especially with the comments about her family, I thought she handled everything really professionally!
Julia Aho With all the false rumors intending to hurt Tati, she definitely responded appropriately, in my opinion. Her emotions on that subject conveyed how intrusive and inappropriate the rumors were, not how she’s unprofessional.
If it were me, I’m not sure if I would even have the guts to do as Tati did!
Jenny Pysh YES! 💕
Well said.. I agree
This. Even though I felt like I was in trouble. I completely get where she is coming from and think she handled it as well as anyone could.
My husband has been highly active in supplements for the last 20 years and we actually have almost all the ingredients of this supplement in our pantry (which I thought was funny). I showed him the ingredients and he said that these are all good/great ingredients. His only thought was the price was high and some of the ingredient amounts were very little and this video explains the reason for that throughly. I’m sure the bottle design costs more as well. I will be giving this a try, I’m excited to see if I see any results.
Grace Majeed hey love did you ever give it a try?
Who is here after the iconic bye sister
Yash Sharma 🖐🏼
Same..
Yash Sharma James obviously didn’t watch this video before he did the Gummybear hair promo.
Bought a couple bottles to try out this summer 😊 Thanks JC/Sugarbearhair debacle!
Meeeee!!!!😄 And then I got stuck here and got sold on her personality and how positive she is even when she is roasting someone 😱
I like her 💕
Can you please post a close up picture of your face, around your eyes, etc., when you first started taking the vitamin versus today? A picture of your hair before would be very helpful, too.
Theresa Loicano literally any proof at all let’s be honest she has none
I agree tati take before and after pictures if people that have taken it for 6 months
No because it doesnt work its a gimmick
Well, seeing that hair takes 1/2 in to grow a month and the vitamins will show results in the new growth only, we'd need a closeup of her roots. (I say this because the vitamins won't affect hair already grown since it only absorbs from outside sources, not from the root. Like something with veins would.) Same with nails, being that they grow the same and are made of the same thing as hair. The only true results with something like this would be the skin. Skin can be tricky because skin can absorb vitamins as well, so it wouldn't be a true test. It'd be really hard and take at least a year to see results.
she releases it too fast she should have waited to untill she has real before and after
Taking a hot moment to appreciate a RUclipsr that addresses questions and concerns from her subscribers instead of waiting for the storm to blow over. Classy and mature, just like how Tati has always been.
Solilaquee exactly instead of ignoring her subscribers or ignoring stuff but yet she’s still getting dragged and being named called and saying she has no sales etc. people are so selfish and sad
I may not have interest in this product, but I've been watching you for years and I will continue to. You are a ray of sunshine, and your marriage is just precious. If people don't like the vitamin, don't buy it. Big whoop 🤦♀️ You go Tati, you go! 😘
Emmy95 yes! I agree with everything you just said
Me too!
Totally agree!
Emmy95 I agree
Exactly! I don’t get the hate... it seriously does not make sense to me...
I finally gave in and purchased your Halo vitamins, supplements, skin quenchers... I have to admit, I did not want to like them simply because they are kind of pricey. But, Tati, I have had issues with dry skin for as long as I can remember, I live in the desert, and I thought there was never going to be anything that would correct it for longer than an hour or so… In one week I have seen dramatic differences in the hydration of my skin, in the elasticity of my skin, and I cannot wait to see other improvements as I continue using them. Thank you so much! Your product is fantastic!!!💋💋💋🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇
How did it go?
stahp, you're about to make me buy this
@@angelica534 I've been using Halo for 6 months & was so mad that I liked them as much as I did. My skin has never looked so good. I'm 47 & some of my firmness has returned. Don't even get me started on my hair & nails. 🤚
@@PixieDusted72 i bought them and for once i have decent natural lashes 😁💕
@@angelica534 That's awesome! ❤️
You guys are just too much. 😂 You feel like you’re getting yelled at? That she’s being condescending? She’s sticking up for herself. Of course she’s mad, people are attacking her MOTHER for God’s sake. People are making false accusations for stuff they read online. Yeah, maybe it was her mistake for not giving the complete information when she posted the video about her vitamins but she’s HUMAN. Cut her some slack. She’s in her right to be angry and hurt. I can understand her and although she didn’t talk as calm as she always does, I didn’t feel “yelled at” because I know it wasn’t directed to me. So don’t criticize the fact that she spoke her mind to defend herself. Tati has always been a classy lady and she always will be, so chill tf out.
YEEESSS THANKKKK YOUUU!!!!
Tay Valdés I would be doing the same!
Hit the nail on the head!
Tay Valdés you couldn’t have said it better
Agreed 👌🏼
I wish you'd done a behind-the-scenes/the-making-of documentry type video.
And I wish you had before and after photos of people taking your vitamin. I love you Tati but you're the one responsible for that, it's your company. We shouldn't be the ones shelling out our hard earned money and then posting our results.
I'll wait for the skincare and colour makeup.
There are before and after pics on her website
Although I have no intention on buying the product I have to say I think the way people have come for you in completely unacceptable, I think it's utterly ridiculous and I stand by you 100%
Livy Woodward then why don’t you buy it
R Ree because there could be a medical problem or they can’t afford it. I stand by her but I have a medical barrier that means I can’t get it.
TATI didn't know then that this would be much easier than "Bye Sister "
Word!!! 🙌 Nothing could have prepared her for that sh*tstorm...
Or “breaking my silence”
I personally wouldn’t buy this vitamin because I’m not interested in it but I can’t believe all the negative feedback. It’s so crazy.
Mary Kirk Allen Right! Like people are really nit picking each ingredient? Who has the time for that lol
Sugar Bear Hair didn’t have before and after pics either but bc every famous person under the sun endorsed it no one cared!!! Tati is one of the most genuine youtubers, why is everyone making such a big deal out of this!? Stand strong Tati! Love you!!!💕💞
Dolly Oliver oh my gosh yes! Glad someone brought this up.
But sugar bear hair is not very affective at all... They are popular because of their marketing strategy and their use of celebrities and influencers to promote their product. Popularity does not equate to quality.
Dolly Oliver this is a really good point. I have seen so many pictures of people with those gummy bears in their mouth saying “this did wonders for my hair” but you never see a picture of their hair before. Do people honesty believe the Kardashians use $20 gummy bears? Please.
I 👏 said 👏 this 👏 1000000x 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I've been saying this.
You have the right idea; Nutrition, Skin Care and Make Up!!! That's the smart approach to beauty. Don't let ignorant, jealous people upset you. Classy of you to offer this full explanation, but please Waste no more time on negative people, the rest of us are looking forward to the next products. Negative Nancys move along,👣👣👣 no one is forcing you to be here. Hugs be happy Tati!!!💄😇💄
When people have finished your bottle of the vitamins, it's normally gets thrown away. I would like to see what you can do with all the plastic container. Maybe ask people to return them to reuse them.
I think shipping them back to her has a great carbon footprint. It is best to recycle them at home
Use them for spices lol
I recycle mine and the box is also recyclable.
Now you can reuse it and order refills to put inside for less money
Keep the bottle and purchase the refill pac.
I think a little bit of market research could have really helped Tati here. I'm a huge fan of her.. I think a series of videos before the launch showing behind the scenes and interviews with scientists/doctors... Or even a series now could possibly help the backlash
Galway Style why ? Unnecessary did you ask any other brand that you put in or on your body? Nope you didn’t so shut up
Weweh Journey I actually do a lot of research for any products that cost a lot of money. For something as simple as a cleanser I'll watch RUclipsrs, read reviews online, research the ingredients and in depth blog reviews. If all of those reviews/information aren't adding up I won't purchase a product. I'm hoping this line will just take a note from this launch and do some market research in the future.
Weweh Journey even if I'm buying a twenty dollar phone case I look up the reviews. If you don't you are throwing money out! I guess some of us are just more mature with our spending habits than others!
Galway Style so you’ve done your own market research that proves this was a bad idea? Right. The door swings both ways, you’re just speculating.
Shelby Martinez how is she speculating? and i don’t think asking for more information is out of the realm of reality.
This could have been a very professional and elegant comeback video if you had simply included 1) before and after pics 2) sit down and q&a with a physician 3) shown a video of lab and how your product goes from start to finish.
Short, straightforward and a respectful way to deal with negativity and backlash from your own subscribers.
No one owes you that. If you dont have confidence in her product dont buy it. You have never required that much from any company for buying vitamins stop being such a hater. Christ.
Exactly!!! Its not expected of every other company then why her?
Tati proves to us what works and what doesn’t, what’s worth it and what’s not. So yes, I think she owes it to us, to prove to us that it works. ƪ(˘ 。˘)ʃ
Most of their photo graphs are bulshit anyway. Most girls transformation pics that are advertised along side weight loss supplements are actually from hard work, not the supplement.
Thank you!! Yes, that is exactly what I was hoping for with this video.
While I'm not supportive of the hate I can understand people being skeptical. I think the reason that a lot of people are up in arms about this product is because it's really not what we would expect from Tati. Yes she might have briefly mentioned vitamins in videos before but that is not the main focus of her channel. When she said she was launching a line we all expected color cosmetics because that is what she tests and what we trust her to talk about, so these vitamins are coming completely out of nowhere and she hasn't built our trust in her to review things like that. I would also like to see the complete published clinical trial because it looks like the only thing on the website are results from a single person and an N of 1 isn't particularly convincing.
Kendall Tavares very much agree
Very well-stated.
Can someone explain to me what color cosmetics means?
Kendall Tavares I agree 100%
Pia KUNŠTEK cosmetics that have a range of colors in them? Like pigmented eye shadows, foundations with a wide range or even perhaps a line of lip stick?
When Tati said “shame on you” I felt that second hand shame
girl i felt as if my mom was scolding me 🤧🤧🤧
Lmao same 😂
As someone with a background in lab research and medicine I feel like I have to clarify the whole no studies thing. When you set out to create a new drug or supplement you formulate what you think will work based on science and previous clinical trials of ingredients. This is why Tati can say her ingredients are clinically proven to do certain things.
Once a medical drug is created to treat something, the FDA requires that it go through efficacy testing as a whole because unfortunately what logically should work doesn't always actually work well in the body. Supplements and vitamins don't go through a clinical trial to prove efficacy after creation because they aren't approved by the FDA. Yes, this means there's a higher chance Halo Beauty won't work the way it logically should than, say, a cholesterol medication. But it also doesn't mean it's automatically a scam.
Now I totally understand where some of you are coming from, assuming Tati would have just done studies on her own to prove efficacy. But if she were to run her own clinical trial for these the price per month would skyrocket. With a medication, you have a population that is forced to consume your creation (because they have a specific disease) and you have giant insurance corporations forced to pay way more than $40 a month for said people to take the medication you've created. This means there's a return on investment even if you charge an extremely high price to cover the cost of bringing your creation to market. With supplements, you have to convince a population to purchase from you, so the cost has to be reasonable.
One last point, anticipating some of y'all thinking Tati is wealthy enough to do these studies anyway...no. The average cost to bring a medication to market is over 2.5 BILLION, including formulating a product and then paying for safety and efficacy testing (the company pays for this, the FDA just makes sure it was done well). A clinical trial alone costs upwards of $35,000 PER PARTICIPANT. So I'm sure even Tati agrees a clinical trial would be nice, but financially it just isn't feasible to have efficacy studies on the complete supplement.
Michelle G wow. ily for this.
What a great statement to make. Very informative!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Michelle G thank you for clarifying!
Yes see this is logic
Y’all complaining about her vitamins but yet you have these influencers promote sugar bear and don’t question them
i was thinking the SAME EXACT THING!!!!
Lupita Gonzalez how do you know they don’t question it? Where’s your proof? Have you been involved in every conversation they’ve had, every thought they’ve had, every single RUclips comment they’ve left, everything they’ve written down? Nope. Didn’t think so!
Miss Mollie's world honestly that’s a little harsh? Especially when she wasn’t looking for you comments. Lol if you don’t like what ppl say or comment on just move on there’s no point of pissing everyone off bc you think you are right . Girl let us have an opinion, you have opinion too but you don’t see anyone attacking you on THE SMALLEST COMMENT . She doesn’t have to give you proof idiot. It was just an opinion. Girl pls.
Totally agree!!! No one ever say anything about sugar bear! I feel like the backlashing might be done by competitors lol
Yuhan Hu a lot of ppl just got mad bc it’s something random she chose to build and that’s fine! But it’s unique and everyone’s trying to find out ways to make her mad and no one ever gets mad when Kylie does the sugarbear thing lol it’s a mess
Even though I cannot afford 40$ vitamins right now but I generally hope your brand becomes an success.
Many people here doesn't understand why tati is mad .
She isn't angry bcs people are asking question . She is angry bcs some dumb people are making negative comment without real facts and some are spreading false rumors , attacking her mother for no reason
Just saying.. but I dont ask for clinical studies when buying super fancy acne creams or anything. Or make up. Or food. Or anything. I bought a random vitamin last week at walmart because I wanted to try it out. Everyone is just so mean because there is a face to the product, and someone they can complain to. Nobody complains to Nature Made or anything.
Katie Kat clinically proven is such an empty term
Katie Kat this is everything. Thank you.
Nobody complains to nature made 😂😂😂 you’re so right
Katie Kat they are being so ridiculous about this I just cannot believe it! It's a vitamin! How is this so controversial???? I'm just blown away
Katie Kat PREACH
Hi Tati, I do still have some questions. On your HaloBeauty website, you site clinically proven and give examples where 90% of people saw X and 95% saw Y changes. Can you please give us these studies? And when you say that 90% of people saw fine lines reduced, is this a study on just the ingredient that is intended to reduce fine lines? Or is this with the entire formula? If you have these results, then why are there not before and afters? Has this product been tested, in its full formulation, with a group of testers? Or are you just testing key ingredients and blending them together, hoping the result will be the same? It doesn't make sense to me why you wouldn't have before and afters if you did clinical trials...
Emily Severeid-Geiss this comment needs to be pinned and top comment as it's the same questions a lot of people are asking but still don't have the answers.
Did you even watch this in its entirety! She didn’t want to pay a model to produce before and afters. She wants them to be honest before and afters. She could’ve easily gotten a model, snapped a pic without makeup on her and then put her in hair and makeup for the after.
Emily Severeid-Geiss yes very well said. I would love the answers to these questions
If you are gonna ask her for proof of her studies. That s fine go ask all the companies in your home the same questions. BACK OFF
Or even a better pre-market strategy, like contacting 100 subscribers, give them 3 free bottles and ask them to be the image of the before and after... You win the trust by using your own people, not wait for them to show the results after all this crazy backlash...
Who else is scrolling through comments while listening to Tati! ✋🏻
Crystal Short 🙆
🙋♀️
🙋🏾♀️
Always!
Crystal Short me✋🏼✋🏼
One year later and look how successful your business has grown 💜 God is great! You are smart! I love you! 💜
Tati, would you please go over the clinical studies, including sample sizes? Thanks for addressing people’s concerns!
Elizabeth Larson vitamins and supplements and are not regulated by FDA so there will not be clinical trials.
Tati claimed that the vitamin was "clinically proven to work". It's a legitimate question in the case.
Abra Annes there can be clinical trials without there's involved lol
Abra Annes *the FDA smh autocorrect
Yes please. I appreciate the depth you took here but the actual clinical studies were a big question from the very beginning and I don't feel it was addressed here either. It is one thing to say it is clinically tested but we need to read and see it so we can make our own decisions. Thanks
Reading the comments really stresses me out. I can't imagine reading them about me and about something I worked hard for
Sydney McWhorter I feel really badly for her
Sydney McWhorter ikr me too! I guarantee u that half the ppl posting all these comments & doing all the research have absolutely no intentions to purchace the product.... Just internet trolls that needs something to do!!!!!
Me too! I really hope she gets the chance to see how many of us DO believe in her and her vision and just want her to succeed 😭
Cosmic Cosmetics ikrrrrrr f- ing weird sick ppl
Inclusivity not just skin color!!! Exactly what I shouted out when I saw some videos critiquing every single word and putting everything she said under the microscope!!!oh my god!! her brand so far has been the most professional/transparent launch here on RUclips
Agreed!
Just ordered two bottles of Halo beauty, gotta support an informed, fair, professional and caring Queen 👸 can’t wait!!
Ida Mol I order mine and I was excited but it’s been 8 days I’ve messaged customer service 3 times over the passed 4 days and have had no response. When did you receive yours?
HiitlEsque it has delay since they have a lot of orders at the moment
HiitlEsque Miroslava is right, it’s been delayed. We’ll get them sis! Don’t worry.
True that!
Hey Tati, just wanted to let you know the the problem wasn't actually you coming out with vitamins it was the launch itself. The launch was poorly executed in my opinion, you should have done a 25 min video with an expert explaining the process of coming up with it and the ingredients. I don't trust vitamins but congratulations on your launch. I wished your team did a better job with the marketing. I'll be interested in trying out your skincare and makeup in the future.
MyCrafts How many brands have you launched?
MyCrafts agree and can't wait for skincare or makeup or brush or whatever
I agree
prmcleod77 i havent 😂. But knowing how the internet is, I knew she would receive backlash.i love tati so I was kinda dissapointed but I'm happy she did something new
What a silly comment. I guess you had no way to counteract her point, so came up with this gobbledy-goop instead. Tati is a beauty guru who talks about nothing about makeup and has never talked about vitamins or even proven she has any knowledge in creating them or gone much into detail. Then she talks about a massive beauty lauch she is doing, and obviously everybody would think it would be makeup or perhaps skincare if not makeup, but she comes out with hella expensive vitamins that she merely claims that they work with no evidence. It was in every way a poor way to make your first lauch.
This is why it's so important to know your audience when you launch a product. If Tati had launched makeup, we would have all jumped on board because we trust her opinion on makeup. Heck, even skincare. We know that she knows her stuff on those topics. Both would have been crazy successful. But Tati launched a vitamin instead. I had no idea she was passionate about vitamins! Where are the dedicated videos about how important it is to take vitamins? Casually mentioning vitamins in a few videos is not enough. In Tati's case, It would have been smarter from a business standpoint to launch makeup/skincare and then launch the vitamin, not the other way around. I understand Tati's frustration, esp all the stuff with her mom(WTF?!) and that person posting the address, but I just can't buy a vitamin from someone who has only mentioned vitamins a few times on their channel in a very casual manner. I had no idea she was so passionate about vitamins. That's the issue here, for me at least.
Heather Ewan EXACTLY !! I totally agree . I would’ve bought her palette in a heart beat . But a vitamin ?? Weird ... it seems like the vitamin was the smartest thing money wise to do on her part since she’s charging 40$+shipping a month .
Heather Ewan After what I've learned, I think this was her husband, James, idea and baby.
I think it would have been the same thing. If she put the same effort into the make-up or skincare, it will not be cheap and the negativity would begin. "Where is your proof on the efficacy of the ingredients, etc." I am more likely to try the supplements than spend on yet another palette of eye shadow. I love that she is going her own way, starting from the inside out. It was definitely a surprise, that is for sure!
Heather Ewan I don't think it's the vitamin she is passionate about, I think it is what the vitamin DOES that she is passionate about. Help hair growth, healthier skin etc...
So u ONLY buy vitamins from people who have a youtube channel & have made a career & have many videos about them? I have watched her long enough to know that I MYSELF trust her opinion... That's me. If u don't, ok. If u need vitamins from someone who talks about them 24/7, find them! RUclips is a big platform! Of course make up would've been a better launch product! So what's that say that she launched a vitamin instead? Don't wanna try it, fine. I cant afford to so I wont. But I wont judge her or her launch or her marketing regardless. SHE knows herself & passions. Not we.
Its as simple as this... if u arent interested in this product dont BUY it! As she already mentioned her brand will expand. there will be something out there for everyone.
P.s. when it rains you grow ❤
Cynthia me she said more vitamins are coming out, not anything else or different...
Liseth Sira she said from skin care, to color cosmetics, to more supplements. We'll see what else she evolves with.
Tati has created a reputation for herself based on honest reviews and this launch contradicts that. If people do not trust her brand because of this product, they won't trust or care about her future products.
Really? I heard her clearly say she was gonna come out with makeup and skincare along with more vitamins.
Even if she were to come out with a cosmetic line, there would be people to drag that down too. She cant please everyone and people need to back off. Let those who actually bought the product review and show their results.
TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO JOINED TATIS POST SISTER BREAK-UP. Just a welcome from another fan. I've loved her for years, so glad more and more people are seeing her dedication.
No one should EVER attack your family. SO uncalled for! Thank you for explaining & I look forward to future launches
One thing I learned from watching Shark tank, if youre launching a new product claiming something, you need to run your own trials. Still not clear on if that was done or not ?
Not just run the trials, but publish them on the website and talk about them when questioned about it. AND show before and after photos. The collagen powder that I take from a local store even does that; you can see the before and after of one woman right on the container, and the clinical trials on their website. (Two different trials, double-blind studies even!)
+Tyler Pistachio - The collagen powder that I take is an internal one. And I saw a 20% reduction in fine lines just as they said I would (up to 20%) - and just as the clinical trials showed women had reductions up to. Had it not worked, I would have gotten my money back. Edited to add that I didn't have as much of a hood reduction on my hooded eyes as the image on their packaging, but it does look like I had a bit of an eye lift there without having resorted to surgery.
I don't know how some of you can't see how passionate she is about what she does. Whether you like the product or not you can't say she hasn't put her full heart into making this and into her entire channel. I have so much respect for you Tati, I'm so proud to have called you my favourite beauty guru for the past few years. Can't wait to see what else you'll come out with
Damn Tati. You're what's up. I've slept on ya for years not gonna lie. I know this is a crazy time for you but I've never seen someone so real online. You got a new subscriber and I'll be definetly doing a six month trial for your vitamins. Good luck and have a great day!
Edit: also just wanna say. Even if people are upset with you not releasing make up first I really feel like this IS the way to go about it. Releasing make up first would make your vitamin seem second rate. Having the vitamin release first shows where your focus has been so you're not just doing a whole beauty line and releasing some random vitamin. I truly wouldn't be as inclined to try the vitamins if I saw a bunch of make up along with it.
Hey just wanna say if you're going to start taking her vitamins it's best to just take HSN or just the Kiwi. She recommends targeting which one you choose to use based on what best meets your goals and needs
I can’t believe this has all blown up so much. I trust Tati wholeheartedly as a reviewer, so I completely understand people asking questions. All they’ve ever known Tati as is a reviewer so when they see her going outside of the box they panic. But I’ve learned a lot in this 50 minute video so imagine how much she has learned over the years she’s been working on it. You tell her not to get defensive but she’s put everything she has into this so why would she not defend it?
I like the idea of the vitamin but it would’ve been nice to see you try this for 30 days and post a before and after of your hair, face, and nails. I feel like nobody knows if this actually works because there’s no photo evidence of the effects. While the ingredients do promote health, the vitamins are very similar to a lot of items out there. Overall, i won’t be buying this (shipping to NY was $18 plus it’s way more expensive then what you can find at CVS) but I wish you luck on this brand and I’m excited to see more. Xxx
Nina Rose agreed
When Christine showed me the before and after of Ben's cuticles when she started using cuticle oil on him, I was sold.
that wouldve been such a good idea honestly
Nina Rose check out the videos of her husband from a while ago and then now! That could help
Did you watch the video? She addresses this.
LINK THE CLINICAL TRIALS. SHOW BEFORE & AFTER PICTURES. Don't treat us like we're stupid.
You are stupid.
Thank you for making this video. It was super helpful to see the true side of Halo Beauty. This seemed so genuine and I really appreciate that you take care of us and your subscribers relationships with you. Love and peace-💞
The one thing I don't get is why Tati is upset about people looking into her company (address, people working there etc.). In European countries at least a lot of this info is kept in public registers exactly so that people can find them and make informed decisions about buying a company's products. If that info is public in the US too, why get upset by people doing due diligence? That's the kind of thing that gets me uneasy here (not to mention in the EU you HAVE to list ingredients so to us it's funny that that is supposed to be a big selling point).
BZJoQu as someone from Europe... that it not entirely true... companies list ingredients but do not list ALL ingredients specifically and often find ways to get around the fact that they’ve put an ingredient in, in which may be controversial... ❤️❤️ from the uk
BZJoQu Yes, I completley agree! It’s a bit insane that such info about a brand, especially a health brand, should be as well kept as Area 51-A Romanian here✋🏻
Moni Dinosaurs The UK is no longer a part of EU.
celinathehottie yes it is. Brexit hasn’t been finalised.
celinathehottie not yet 😉
I am still confused by the saw palmetto. I don't want to be blocked for asking this because I do love your reviews. Anyway, my husband takes saw palmetto for his prostate. The bottle is 320mg tablets. On the warnings, it says "this product is intended for use by men and is not intended for use by women." It is not a blend of men's vitamins. It is a stand alone bottle of saw palmetto. I'm still just confused. I looked at several brands this weekend at the drug store and every bottle of saw palmetto did say that it was not intended for use by women. I didn't see any that were above the 320mg doses like my husbands. Are there any studies showing that in your dosage it is safe women? I'm sincerely asking:)
Koula Knox unfortunately she probably won’t answer you comment. But good for you for doing your own research!
Koula Knox I take saw palmetto every day. Twice a day. It helps for people who have trouble emptying their bladder. I take it because I have to urinate all the time especially while sleeping. I asked a doctor about me taking it and they said there isn't an issue with women taking it.
I don't know any other use for it for anyone I just know it works for that specific thing for me
Koula Knox she did address this in the video. You should rewind and watch again. The amount of saw palmetto in her blend is not high enough to cause any adverse effects and actually helps to quell the side effects of biotin
I think regardless of what you read about dosages I would strongly consider asking your physician instead of getting more confused reading comments and online articles.
Gigi Johnson I did understand what she said. What I'm saying is that our bottle is only 320mg and says not suitable for women. She said a 2000mg dose. However the bottle my husband has is only 320mg and is not suitable for women. 320mg is what you would get from taking two of Tati's vitamins a day.
I genuinely am so sorry that your product had so much backlash. I do think that a lot of the negativity was unwarranted, but I think a lot of this could have been avoided with a more clearer launch. We really didn’t even have a clue about the product or your knowledge on the product. I trust you and love your beauty advice, but that trust only extends to makeup. It doesn’t extend to my health, without having these types of conversations like in this video. I appreciate you coming out with this video, and really hope that the negativity doesn’t outshine the positivity. You have cleared up a ton of the questions I had. I’m so excited to follow the rest of your journey with Halo Beauty!
Elizabeth Gaston amen
I love that she gave a very honest and informative video to shut down all the false accusations/claims.
I think the problem that generated the whole controversy is that there was not an explanatory and extensive video about the product and everything that has formula and others. on the page it's all out but many wanted was the video this video would have been perfect before the launch including a video with the questions on the page would have been perfect
Yes!
Eliana Farias but why does that make it okay for people to act like horrible individuals
Alyssa maxwell Of course not if they had only read the questions on the page there would have been no problems .. but it is the internet there are crazy people and they are never satisfied with anything, but at least in the launch video or one followed by this before the release would have avoided some crazy things that are said ... what they say about their mother is another level no one should be judged by their religion, sexuality, race or preferences, each person has the right to do as they please. the family is not touched
She seems quite upset about the feedback she received, which is justified. But honestly, the lack of information and the fantastical claims of the launch video kind of shot her in the foot. I’ve been a long time follower and it has certainly lowered my trust in her word.
Heather Raworth bro i’ve seen u post on like 3+ posts. if u don’t like her and think she’s a snake why are you still here?
TheSparkleina I think she was expecting questions and stuff and was ready to answer but i don’t think she was expecting all the hate and all of the lies. i know i would be upset. but i do see where you’re coming from.
TheSparkleina 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Madi Lira like, it’s honestly just conflicting. I can see that she’s put the work in, but tbh the nature of the product and the way it was launched has completely lost me. It has so little to do with her brand, the trust she talks about in this video which she has built up was for beauty stuff. Absolutely not vitamins which is something quite serious. It just seems like a wholly business move and not something genuine which is what I used to associate with Tati.
wurd nurd I was confused by that too 🙄
You're so strong. To work so hard, to really believe something, and to really push and actually talk to your subscribers and customers. Then to watch so many people accuse you so quickly and hurt you and you come out with a smile and very professional video. It's amazing, inspirational
The Ale people have lost their damn minds. Seriously.
Over something so simple. She's being different and herself. Not following the same same. And if you're worried then consult YOUR phycisian, not everyone's.
The Ale she'll be fine. The storm shall pass and anything she does now and in the future will be a success. She built her channel on people trusting her opinion. They need to remember that. I just don't feel she needed to address anything except information people have requested about the actual vitamins and shipping (which she answered in this video.) People are off their rocker, thinking she owes them more than that.
I agree 100%
It makes me soooooo mad when specially women can NOT see successful women succeed. Instead of posting hating comments get your life together, study, get a job. Do something. You guys are the reason the world is the way it is. Live her alone if you don't want to buy it. Don't buy it but let her be stop being freaking haters and do something with your life.
CONGRATULATIONS TATI THE BEST OF LUCK!
If people don’t like it simply do not buy it. The hate and going after family is truly crossing the line.
Jeny D 💯✔
While i wont be purchasing the vitamines because I do not have the extra money for them, I am so excited as to where this brand will go with skin care and other items
Amber C same here!
I have a chronic medical condition and I talk to my doctor about everything from hot chocolate to Tylenol to vitamins. Anyone with a health issue knows this. Vitamins and makeup (and most other products) cater to the MAJORITY of people. Love you Tati!
I believe that this product works. I just wish I could afford it, but you go girl shake up the industry.
I feel like all of the criticism came from the lack of information we was given before her launch. If this video came out before her launch I feel as if it would’ve been a lot smoother. I’ve learned so much more about her product just watching this video.We are not just gonna go out and buy something and take it because a person whom you probably never met told you to buy it. Of course you should talk w a doctor or pharmacist before taking anything. I will support Tati in her future products but not w the vitamin bc of personal reasons.
Tracie Chaney “we was”
I think the marketing strategy chosen to launch this product was not the correct one. It would have helped to have on your site, interviews with doctors backing up your product, or as other brands have, cases showing as you say that your product really work As much as people may trust you, you got to consider that you are selling a health product. And how a health product is marketed it is not the same how a beauty or cosmetic product is marketed.
Coming out with a vitamin isn't a bad idea, but the introductory video should have been better & more inclusive of all the information you now spill because of the backlash. Maybe a longer trial with different ages of your niche market, surveys, before & afters on yourself & others. People are rightfully going to ask about these important points before they spend their hard-earned cash on something not proved to them on video. That's all what was needed. More detailed information!
Rachel Ciara PREACH 🙌🏼🙌🏼✨✨
Tati, I’m not a person who usually comments or active on social media. This is a rare occasion I do want to say something. I am on my third bottle of halo and it has done wonders for me. The work you did is amazing. It is an honor to be able to try your product. Your dedication, the quality and how much thought you put to this product and the results are so so amazing. Keep up the good work. Love you!
This is a video you should have made BEFORE the launch...
Grace Wilson this was the comment I was looking for. Her launch would have 100% different had she done a video explaining everything first!
She definitely should have provided more information before launch to give a better understanding on the product
Hindsight is 20/20 and she said she didn’t anticipate this... but that’s great advice 🙄
👏👏👏👏
PR handling simply
I don’t know anyone who goes into the pharmacy and checks published medical articles before buying a SUPPLEMENT... people need to calm down... and get off webMD 😂
Tati, congratulations. You work hard and deserve your success.
Maria Cecilia Mateo this is exactly what I think 😂 however I now want to go look at all my vitamins
Maria Cecilia Mateo well the big difference is that the brands in pharmacies are established. They are being sold at major retailers across the country and there is so much information and reviews about these products online. Halo beauty just came up out of nowhere with no reviews or proof that it works or is even safe
I think people tend to scrutinize products a little more when paying almost $50 for one months’ worth of vitamins.
Maria Cecilia Mateo it’s youtube culture. Tati does it on her channel with brands and it was done to hers.
Me 🙋♀️ and having a college education in pharmacology, this is super important.
This Should have been your launch video. I believe it would have been a much better. outcome. A lot of viewers are upset because the initial launch video was so vague in the details of the product. You needed to provided this information before the release. Picture yourself as the consumers, would you have trusted a 5 min launch video on something that you would ingested. Probably not.
Grunda Edwards because hair gummie ads are so thorough with their ingredients and process. People are so worried about injesting bad things that's why the keep buying it regardless....
Who cares? She's not trying to stick someone for their money 1 time.... she wants to slowly earn trust and doesn't plan to just be a one hit wonder obviously. It's only been a few days and we need to keep in mind to pick one another up as women and not try to push them down for doing something different. Appreciate a RUclipsr who does things very differently and I liked the no pressure feel of the environment on the day that she did talk about it. It was a really funny and good video
Grunda Edwards people usually buy vitamins at the grocery store without knowing a single thing about them, those aren’t FDA approved and they don’t even have to list all the ingredients or the real percentages. She posted the full ingredient list complete with the same warning that’s on every single vitamin bottle in existence, “ASK YOUR DOCTOR”
Lol do items at the store have an hour long launch video, let alone a five minute one?? What do you put in your body that has a launch video, and do you honestly take the time to do this amount of "research" on. Why would she need to go into this amount of detail normally. I really don't need to hear about the process of how the ingredients get to the facility, but she has to do this because everyone is freaking out over faulty internet research.
Emma Stephens Exactly!! All the sudden everyone thinks that they are all experts. Geez 😒
Oh my god Tati, you are such a breath of fresh air!
I love how positive and transparent you are.
Good luck and Thank you! xx
Chris Oswald how about now?
I was surprised the product was supplement. I'm not interested, but never say never. Having said that I am shocked at how quickly it went downhill, it seemed like an all out assault. I'll likely wait for the cosmetics. And I wish Tati all the best.
neweverymorning Mercy Exactly, can not wait for her makeup
neweverymorning Mercy Thank you🙏. Not interested in the product?? Simply step aside and move along. You DO get it.
?
This is the type of video that should have been released pre sale. While it's late to the game, I appreciate that you've addressed it. It's like you said, we didnt have that trust pre launch.
Sky Line she needs to make known hey sources. When I was an Herbalife distributor we knew who ALL of the Drs and other people were
I agree - this lengthy video definitely should have been released pre-launch as the announcement video seemed so brief and lacked explanation. All I really got from that was the name of the product and the launch date...and that’s about it. Not to mention the initial “shock” that it was in fact a vitamin when so many of us were expecting some sort of makeup or skincare product.
How can you pre-release a feedback video?
Jenifer Swanson I agree with you on that point.
Erika Loggins That's great you feel that way but many of us needed more info before putting a costly supplement into our body.
OMG GUYS ITS A VITAMIN, if you don’t like it don’t buy it and MOVE ON. Why are so many people so bothered, like this ruined their lives. There are so many beauty products out on the market, if she didn’t produce what it is you wanted then look somewhere else. It makes me so upset to see someone I trust being attacked over something she obviously worked hard on. It’s horrible that so many people in this world assume everyone does things with malicious intent. Most people who see this in others are that way themselves.
Delia Valdez i agree with everything except your last sentence. Some people may have experienced things in their lives that made them lose trust in others. Mistrusting people or seeing the worst doesn't mean they aren't trustworthy themselves or bad. Actively trying to bring down another person based on false information, that is truely malicious.
Still watching this video in 2019 and just purchased three month of supplements
Me too!! Just bought two months supply of Halo Kiwi. Cannot wait to see results.
Exactly my situation xdddd
This says it all--- "Supplements are the Wild West,” says Dendy Engelman, M.D., a dermatologist in NYC. “They are not well regulated, so you can pretty much claim a lot of things that aren’t substantiated in science or in proof.”
Nancy she’s my dermatologist and absolutely incredible. She is so knowledgeable and so right. Great point to bring up!
I just want to see the inserts of the results of the trails, etc she's speaking about; I believe she has permission to say this information but as a public health major (any other major as well), we are not able to write papers, etc without evidence and citing such evidence. As a college student, it is important to see where the evidence comes from so we can be convinced that the source (Tati) is credible. If she put in these inserts of the trails, etc it would have helped strengthened her video completely; I wish Tati the best on her brand journey.
Can you post the studies, please? I would love to see it on the halo beauty site.
Annie Camacho I believe that they already are on the site showing the placebo against the vitamin
It astounds me that you have to clarify so much to people!! The ignorance is ridiculous and out right nastiness to you and you family and business is totally uncalled for. I relate to you on so many levels and I can sit and watch your videos all day (I actually have once or twice 😬😁). Keep doing what your doing, we love you for it!!❤️
This video honestly made me look up that Buzzfeed review she mentioned about finding lead in a supplement and guys....GUYS..... THAT'S THE SUGAR BEAR HAIR PILL. The one the Karshians and every Instagram model posts! I've been taking that crap for 8 months with barely any amazing results, and now I'm so embarressed I fell for that marketing scheme. Oh my god.
Hopefully, you don't fall for this one.
Hopefully you read the bottle before you take anything :)))
Kardashian and sugar pill kind of should have gave it away
As long as you weren’t taking more than the recommendation dosage you’ll be okay. It’s never too late to stop, tati is right, the gummies are no good for you, its just extra sugar you don’t need.
Stop taking it if it is so bad
I'm not all that impressed by the launch, but honestly I think the accusations mentioned are RIDICULOUS. Coming for a registered employee? Questioning James' involvement? Coming for her MOM? That crap is crazy.
Alexis Emily Chin agree!
Agree
Totally agree
When you talk about clinically tested are you talking about the individual ingredients or the pill as a whole have been clinically tested.
Because from what you have been saying and the verbiage from your web site it sounds like the individual ingredients have been clinically tested, but not the pill in itself.
brenda solari great question I wondered the same
One sole ingredient that she mentioned I believe twice in the video..
This is a really great question.
She was referring to individual ingredients not the pill.
brenda solari this is an excellent question
Its Vitamins... why are all her subscribers coming for her .. so weird . She always is legit to herself .
A biochemist is not a dietitian. It is recommended... NOT to take vitamins unless you have been tested to be deficient. Even still, vitamins could claim to have 40mg of a particular vitamin but could in reality have none or even toxic levels because they are not regulated.
A dietitian is not a scientist
lol yes... they are...
That is why she told everyone to check with their doctor.
I completely understand that a ton of this backlash went too far and was uncalled for. But I think a lot of people just wanted this information in the first video. It’s not that we don’t trust you, but the launch video just wasn’t as thorough as you always are, and the website wasn’t open yet when you made that video so it invited a lot of questions. You told us what it was and that it worked for you, but not why it worked or what was in it. That’s not enough information for me to buy a product (but also it’s not like I was angry either!).
Now that you have explained, I’m intrigued! Maybe I’ll buy this. But we don’t just like you for your word, we trust you because you are thorough and thoughtful and transparent when discussing products. This is your first launch! There’s a lot to learn, and in the end this is really more of a marketing/PR issue. Maybe in the future give us the same amount of information as you would any other product at the start. I can understand that you’re upset that something you’ve worked so hard on and you were so excited about didn’t get the response you hoped for. But some of us just had some pretty normal questions about the launch, and it doesn’t feel good to be kinda yelled at for being the thoughtful consumers you always encourage us to be. No one’s word alone, not even yours, should ever be enough to make someone buy a product with little other information.
Again, I understand how you feel, and a lot of what you’ve experienced has been uncalled for. But those crazy angry people aren’t buying from you no matter what you say, so try to sift that out from the normal concerns of normal people.
Ditto!! If she had gone over everything before this wouldn't have been an issue. Heck a short video about why she's passionate about vitamins would have helped!
Yes. This.
Catherine - my thoughts exactly
❤️⭐️❤️
Yea Catherine, and I completely understand how you feel. You are absolutely right about how Tati is normally very thorough when talking about products, and that she definitely should have included more information about her brand when she did her launch video, but about her "yelling" at those who are just curious about her products (as I'm sure you are), she wasn't intentionally trying to make you feel bad, she was simply addressing the fact that people are harassing and attacking her with false accusations, and that some of the things that those people are doing are crossing the line. She was targeting those specific issues and telling her viewers that it really hurt her. Also, the tone she used was kind of accusatory, but again, she has a solid point. If a customer is genuinely curious about something and they would like to learn more about it, then they as the consumer should look for factual information that is actually true. I'm not saying that all people do this, but many are "researching" her product and reading false information that simply isn't true, and maybe if they were truly interested then they should dig deeper and make sure that what they are reading is real information that can be backed up with factual evidence.
Whoever found an article about your mom from like 18 years ago has WAY too much time on their hands.
Julie McLean Agreed! That's ridiculous.
Wait, what? They did what???
Voodoo Baby rewatch the beginning of this video. Someone is attacking her mom now.
Yeah, I mean, it takes like HOURS to do a google search.
If you would come out with a typical highlighter like everyone else, people would have no issue. You are trying to be unique and they all went for you. Keep doing you and keep coming out with amazing products.
I think it would be very helpful if you could show results of the clinical trials that have been done
Exactly.
who does that? I understand the concerns and the critics but that's just not realistic, do you ask every brand to show you clinical trials? everytime you go to the drugstore? come one, that is ridiculous!
Even if everyone has the results...it would take a statistician and other clinical experts to analyze the results in order to make a decision on safety and efficacy.
no importa actually no because vitamins like these are made by actual "medical companies" or whatever and they have already created a trust for their consumers.
She on the other hand is a makeup artist and this is completely different than what she does so yeah it would help if some clinical results could be shown
no importa I just think it would help her with all the skepticism. It’s unfortunate that this has turned into such a catastrophe, but if she wants to truly debunk the rumors, visual proof is going to go much further than her word. I hope her brand continues to be successful and the criticism falls away, but I feel she may need to go deeper to earn the trust back if many of her fans
Tati, I love you, but you have got to start citing/link your sources when you bring up other companies or studies
Sarah Pugh she can’t cite other companies or could be sued for slandering. Every company mentions their competitors but can’t call them out directly
Madelina Nuñez she's talkig about the studies and clinical trials. You can cite clinical trials no problem.
Sarah Pugh she said they are on the website.
I am absolutely disgusted by the topics in this video. It infuriates me that a knowledgeable, creative, & talented woman has to go on her RUclips platform to justify/explain herself to such ignorance. If she was a man would this be happening? Some of the topics Tati spoke about really hit a nerve with me. One of them being “I wouldn’t trust a woman that wears two foundations” can we take a moment and look how misogynistic that statement is? I think it’s great people want to get involved and be empowered. So I can understand that there can be some skepticism with a new supplement being put on the market. However, solely basing your skepticism on a person’s appearance or preferences is completely asinine. Tati I haven’t tried your product but I would like to. But I am going to do the smart and responsible thing FIRST and simply talk with my doctor. I’m intrigued by the formula but I have to make sure it’s okay for me to take. Common sense, right? I personally take many supplements to support my general & mental health. So it’s a bit of a ‘duh’ statement to just check with your doc. I think it is amazing how much you have invested into your product and how thorough you were with your video. Keep doing what you’re doing, because dear you are doing it well.
why are you bringing gender into this? we weren't criticizing her because she is a woman. we were criticizing the fact that she is a beauty guru and she decided to make a line of vitamins. Furthermore, she had no real clinical proof to back up the validity of her vitamin range. there were no before and after pictures or experts explaining the product. we didn't know how reliable her product was because she couldn't back her statements up.
I so agree. I almost forgot as women and starting a business we have to take it on the chin
Tiffany Liao your right it’s not about gender. it’s about the fact that you are so heavily reliant on a before and after lie to get a product than actually looking at what’s in the product.
Just a question?? If this wasn't your brand,how would you view it from all the information that was given?? If you were to review this,how would you review it?? I'm just curious if this wasnt your brand just looking at it from a different point of view.
michellenumbertwo19 it would absolutely be a WTF product 🧐
Im sure she would trash it
I think you need to accept that some people just won’t get behind this, and that’s okay. Your channel didn’t get successful being a health channel, so people feeling confused by the first launch is inevitable. Still love you, your reviews, your videos.
Im far from hating I'll support tati no matter what, but I would like to have seen more factual information especially before and after pics... Just a little more
sally skellington check out her website

Been taking this for two months and it really has shown a difference in my skin and nails, great job Tati!
Are you sfikk taking it?
So you plan on giving us a tour or the lab...(which I doubt is a major concern to us) instead of showing the clinical studies results?? Which is what everyone wants to see just so we know if works?
Mikayla Stevens gentle suggestion - dont buy it - wait for people to testify. really up to you.
Also- vitamins and supplements are NOT required to have clinical trial. So ya. You don't wanna risk it, just wait for others to try it first.
gimlet rose no it doesn’t but she’s just claiming it she has them but won’t show them is my only thing.
A lot of clinical studies will have confidential results. Tati may well want to show these results, but can’t. Clinical testing means these products have been tested on humans. Human being that have consented to this data being produced from their experience...and the chances are there is a clause in the contract they signed stating all results will be confidential, or only available to those who need it....and as consumers you don’t actually need those results. I fully believe all products Tati brings out will have been tested appropriately...and she’s using these products on her own skin I assume, she wouldn’t do that if she wasn’t sure they were safe!
those results are still allowed to be published without names and information of participants. I doubt that all the participants in the clinical study refused to have their results published in the end, that is unreasonable. And if that turns out to be the case, Tati should not claim this is a clinically tested products if she is unwilling or cannot publish the results, findings and the methodology of the product.
I see nothing wrong with the vitamins, I just wish you'd released a makeup line instead. 😊
Revina Que I wanted her to release skin care 😩
I'm sure she'll get there!!
Revina Que Same but, I still love her!
Supplements don't have to be FDA approved. I think it is generally a good idea to stay away from them. I'm sure Tati has the best intentions, but let's face it, she isn't a chemist or a doctor.
I wanted a clothing line LOl
Since you have been taking the vitamins yourself it would have been cool to see how nice your skin looks, like visual comparison. but the only images you have on your site is of you with make up on. Granted your make up looks flawless but you can't see your skin which I think is the main selling point. Two pictures of you in make up doesn't show me anything other than you slaying a look.
InsanePandes Just look at her videos from more than a year ago to the videos now. Her skin is public 5 days a week.
InsanePandes all the procedures she’s gotten done have a huge impact on how her skin looks too. You will not get her skin simply from ingesting some over priced vitamins
You need to pay attention to the beginning of most of her videos, abd you can see how gorgeous her skin looks. Maybe you've noticed some of the comments, too, where people remark that her skin looks flawless. Some even have asked her if she's pregnant because she's "glowing from within" which is what her product provides
She uses very expensive skin care and hair products on top of these vitamins so how do we know that it's just not these expensive treatments over the vitamins or vice versa?
Yes!!!! Show us your personal progress Tati
As a health care professional I can say after trying the Kiwi formulation that it is very well developed and I personally love the product and would recommend it to patients.
Plain and simple Tati...I bought mine and can't wait to start taking the product, I trust you and if I don't see improvement I stop taking them just like anything else including makeup, creams etc..I'm so sorry that this happened to you but your handling this very professionally and with some humor...much success
Asking Tati to clarify information about the vitamins is okay, asking her for clinical trial photos is okay. But attacking her MOTHER is so not okay, y'all. Play nice, keep it professional and business related.
I can understand the backlash about her not releasing makeup. But going after her parents and attacking people around her is completely unacceptable.
I am so sorry people were so intense and jumped to conclusions! Love you girl!! You are paving the way!! I will be praying for you!
It breaks my heart that people act like this. Tati has done nothing but bring joy to RUclips and we need more of her in the world.
Morgan Bradley just because she did good or was good doesn't mean we can't criticize when she does something bad
Marinela Sekic she hasn’t done nothing wrong! Wth! 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Exactly
Marinela Sekic please tell me what she did bad.
