I think Raw Beauty Kristy said it best in her video. Being lied to is not okay because it does not stop there….diet products, medication, teeth whitening, literally giving them permission to lie about everything with no consequences. This is how consumers get hurt and if you have accepted it as normal, there is no way you can expect to hold them accountable some times for lying, but not all the time. Lying is not okay and should never be accepted. People work hard for their money, I watch reviews to help decode if the product is really worth it. So if your being paid, I expect you to put that up front, speak it in your review and put it in the title.
Also, I know it's touchy for me to speak on black women's hair but, I am a hairdresser and have done relaxers, hot comb styling, wig styling etc. And I am just absolutely THRILLED to see such a push from the black community to take back their hair. Curly hair is beautiful and the things they felt pressured to do to conform to societal expectations are so very destructive to the hair. I preach alot of flaunt it don't fight it with my clients, trying to get them to embrace the things that take just alot of effort and money to change and work with what they have. It always works out better in the long run, both for the hair and the wallet.
I've learned from a Hollywood PR professional who works with celebrities that, 99% of the time, the best thing to do for long-term career survival is to lay low completely until things blow over, then appear again and act like nothing happened, and just continue to do whatever made them famous/popular originally. I assume Mikayla got professional help and was advised to do exactly that.
Jen . Jen.. Jen. I passed my state boards. 🤪 I'm a licensed esthetician all because of YOU! I have my first spa interview Monday. Wish me luck! Also as a current ulta employee I can say ...rem sells maybe one product a day if that . Compared to, we average 2000 dollars in benefit per day.
Mikayla is a problematic person, and I was watching Paige Christie live last night. She brought up a situation from November 2022 involving Mikayla claiming the owner of a black owned brand used vaseline to make her swatches longer. This is a girl who'll throw shade, and do problematic things much like Jaclyn Hill and others. In the end where does it truly get you ? No place good, because you lose full credibility, integrity and respect from people who've supported you, your lifestyle and lined your pockets with their hard earned money. Keep being real Jen, I know you've always been 100 % authentic from the start !
Nothing lasts forever, what goes up inevitably goes back down, social media gets boring real quick so it won't be too long before we see her in our rear view mirror
@@angelafahlenkamp9311 Absolutely ! She and Jaclyn Hill can share fond memories of how they we're the IT girls of beauty lol and how they're just sellouts. I find it amusing that Mikayla thinks she's some hot take, when there is millions more where she came from.
I think Target will be a much better fit for Hyram’s brand. It wasn’t a luxury brand, and it just didn’t land with Sephora customers. But the simple packaging, eco friendly ideals and affordable pricing should work with Target shoppers.
I’ve never been able to get past the fact he calls himself “ expert” or “ specialist”. I worked my socks off for 30 years, continual study, master degree to be an expert in my field so his self proclamation did not sit right with me. I too am a skin enthusiast too, with some professional skin care knowledge but would never claim to be an expert. When I read his linkin I just shook my head. So would not give him my money. But props to him for making some money .
@@SleepinBee I've never voluntarily watched any of his content but it sometimes gets thrown up on my Facebook feed and his smug face annoys the heck out of me 🤣 I worked in skincare retail for a few years which apparently made us "specialists" but in reality we just knew how to recite ingredient names and benefits.
I was never a fan of Mikayla, every time I would stumble across her videos I would always get bad vibes from her. 🤷🏻♀️ idk if it is just me but I think this scandal just validates those feelings further. As a makeup lover I am tired of being influenced and tricked into buying something that I don’t need just to make someone an extra penny. Buying another mascara that is just going to expire in 5 months seems really unethical to me, especially during times like this with inflation and the rising cost of rent. I really think over consumption is dead and people are starting to make smarter decisions with their purchases. Having an influencer as big as Mikayla lie and manipulate her followers for the extra buck is extremely irritating and gross.
I wish I'd picked up on it like you did. I actually thought she seemed quite sweet, so it's really jarring to find out how many things she's been dodgy about. This doesn't seem to be a one-off, it's a pattern of behaviour for her.
Jen, I work at Ulta and made the testers for the KVD foundation yesterday. The colors don't match (i.e, the bottle may look light but it isnt) so, the shades are pretty comparable to what they say, not necessarily what it looks like in the bottle. Just thought I'd share!
I saw so many people shitting on the shade range but…. 10 shades each for light, medium, tan and deep is pretty good! The swatches on their website shows a big range. Fenty did pretty much the same thing and had almost the same amount when they first started and everyone was losing their minds about the inclusivity 🤣🤣 I guess you can’t please everyone
I agree with that statement about the quality of Ariana’s products. I was interested in her perfumes when I heard she had a line. I went to Ulta to smell them and they smell cheap and no bueno. In contrast, I’ve bought some of Rihanna’s skincare and Mariah’s perfumes and both are high quality products. That’s why their stuff is doing so well.
her perfumes are far from smelling “cheap” cloud has literally won best perfume of the year back in 2019. i own several of the perfumes and i find them to have a long lasting scent and they’re definitely not “cheap” smelling. however, i agree the packaging for some isn’t the best looking which would make them seem a bit cheap.
Hey there Jen, have you considered joining a journalist's union/guild and registering as an independent/self-employed? You do such hard-hitting work in our space, I think you could use the protection and resources!
She won’t loose subscribers because people stick around to see the apology video and then they leave but you pointing that out made me realize that I was doing the same thing. I’m going to go unsubscribe from her right now. You are 100000% right she has no incentive to tell the truth now that she realized no one cared she lied
She faced no consequences from L'Oreal from this. You only feel bad if you get in trouble. I think she got a huge pay day and lots of flowers/ support from L'Oreal because she seemed happy and downright chipper. If I saw a huge bonus / commissions from the sale in my account then I would hop online and do my makeup. They didn't condemn her and I think that's why.
I feel the same way about Hyrum that you feel about Mikayla..can’t trust his reviews. Didn’t buy his products at Sephora, and won’t be buying them at Target (not having Target in Canada helps 😂)
I never got good vibes from Mikayla (and her voice kind of annoys me, but I don't love bringing that up cause it isn't cool to bully someone, y'know? But now that her true personality has been exposed, I'm a little less hesitant to mention it). And I also got bad vibes from Hyrum as well. Maybe it's the way he speaks like he's a dermatologist or atleast an aesthetician, but he's actually neither. He's just a skincare enthusiast but we could argue that Jen is a skincare ingredient enthusiast, too, and I don't get the same "know it all" impression from her.
I used to be a Hyram subscriber, but when he started raving about Mario Badescu products after roasting them before (rightfully so), it seemed like he was someone who sells his recommendations. I just can't trust him anymore after that and unsubscribed.
About the “male form” lipstick… have you ever seen Johnny Ross’ video shorts about working at Sephora? The parts where he has to read off sexual shade names to customers is HILARIOUS… But really, stuff like that should be relegated to bachelorette parties.
What annoyed me with brands is that an indie brand Adept cosmetics put out a $135 mystery box and it ended being 8 eyeliners and a palette. I was told if I want a refund I have to pay to send it back and it was my fault for being a new customer and buying it.
She did say if you’re new not to buy it but didn’t understand why. I love adept but glad I didn’t get it because I would have been disappointed with 8 eyeliners too.
They are different shades. She is also deleting comments from people who are upset and keeping ones that are glowing. Mine is still up but it's getting traction.
@@amyed3415 I totally understand what she said but I have people replying saying the aren't new and still disappointed. Also how do you expect to get repeat costumers if you tell people not to buy your items.
@@khills🤷🏽♀️ I even asked the influencer that I used her code and she doubled down. Saying well it is all new products. The eyeliners are new but seems deceptive saying new products when it was just 1 product in different shades.
Super rough week for me my dad had a small stroke so been in and out of the hospital but counting on WUIM and Live Chat to keep a little of my “normal routine” has helped immensely. Actually grateful live chat is at 5 because I’m here at bedside with my dad. And it will a great distraction ❤
I agree. What’s the point of creating a 24 hour foundation if you have to reapply it every 2 hours to maintain the SPF benefits? Makes no sense. Plus I am allergic to chemical SPF. It gives me a rash. It’s really hard to find a foundation without it or one that uses natural SPF. They are out there but not as prevalent.
I kept the wand from the original Loreal telescopic mascara because I liked how much volume/lift it gave my lashes. I'll dip it in a tube of a mascara and use it if I don't like the wand of the original product. It's an annoying extra step but the original wand does give my lashes a false Lash effect and I dig it.
I just have to make a comment about the spf in foundation thing. I'm the really the only one of my friends who is very in to beauty, makeup, skincare etc. I have had to explain to multiple of my friends that not only do they need to reapply their sunscreen but that their foundation likely isn't giving them enough protection because they'd have to put a lot on. Most of them just assumed that the spf in their foundation would last them the whole day. I think sometimes we forget that the average consumer truly doesn't know this information
Heheh, Makayla’s the unbothered queen until her fans have gone into debt buying things that she promoted while she becomes wealthy and they decide that she’s “a toxic sell out shilling product”.😅 Idk-I’m not familiar with her or her fan base. I’d imagine they’re relatively young. At the end of the day, she has to live with herself. Sure, money’s nice, but genuine love/respect/trust is hard to cultivate/maintain and knowing that you don’t have that around you is crippling after a while.
I’ve watched a few of her things that interested me but between her horrible fake accent and the amazingly thick filters she uses that keep you from actually seeing anything…
Part of the reason for the subscriber drop wit apologies is that they almost never seem genuine. Even ones that seem somewhat genuine are often released too late and after all the drama has started to settle down. It almost feels like an individual is being more honest by not addressing the drama or refusing to apologize. There seems to be this mentality that if someone says "I'm sorry," then all of the consequences will just go away. That's not reality. People want a genuine remorse or they see it for what it is, attempting to get out of taking responsibility for bad actions. I've had this argument with so many parents and educators only to have them insist that I'm wrong. I'm going to start using the influencer world on them to attempt to get my point across.
I’m a little surprised that I’m not hearing more about Madison Lewis’ video saying it’s ok to lie bc everyone does it. Won’t be trusting anything she says!
I just bought the Sephora size up mascara during the holiday sale at 30% off. This was the 1st time I purchased it. I love it too Jen! I am on a new mascara journey after having found my top 5 holy grails. I have suddenly and abruptly and rudely become severely sensitive and/or allergic to most mascaras now! I'm happy to report that with 3 uses so far I have had no issues. I've had no itching I've had no red eyes I've had no gumminess later in the day yeah I know it looks it's not a good look. It looks like pink eye after about 3 hours of wearing problematic mascaras and I even have to have a prescription on hand of eye drops. It takes 3 days after wearing a problematic mascara to recover from that event. Anyhow Another fantastic video and thank you so much for your hard work I so look forward to you on Sundays.
Do you also have rosacea? There is a category called Rosacea, Ocular affect. For me, it means no waterproof eyeliner, mascara or other products around the eyes; no waterlining, tightlining or little shimmer smudge on the tear duct corners; no fragranced makeup items around the eyes; no false eyelashes, whether glued or magnetic, and no lash extensions; no lash growth serums or other topical treatments; very careful use of concealers in the eye area; no chemical or hybrid sunscreens near the eyes; no fragranced eye makeup removers, skin cleansers or moisturizers near the eyes... And anytime I use eyedrops for occasional dry eyes, I must use the kind that come in individual, single-user vials. Ask your opthamologist for answers your dermatologist probably can't give. Good luck!
@@MyCleverHandle Holy Crap Cathy! First of all, I had no idea that type of rosacea was even a thing. But no I don't have rosacea at all. But thank you for the information. Disturbingly however, a lot of the things you tell me that you can't do with such a condition, I also cannot do. Not only do I seem to react in an allergic manner to many mascaras all of the sudden, but also I am reacting to eyeliners and to simple smudging of eye shadow under my eye or putting a pop of highlight in the tear duct area of my eye. I honestly thought I had contaminated eyeliners and have been tossing them out. I was suddenly discounting my makeup abilities in being able to put eyeshadow under my eyes after having been doing my own make up for at least I don't know.... perhaps 40 some years now at least, lol. I was beginning to think that I was legit fluffing eyeshadow powder directly into my eye and irritating it every time I do my eye shadow now. And don't get me started with false eyelash glue Lord have mercy! I am on a hunt for a non reactive eyelash glue I thought oh my goodness I must be allergic to latex and then I thought... girlfriend you're not allergic to latex you use latex gloves all the time what are you thinking. But I thought well maybe my eyes are just sensitive to latex. The one by Juvia's Place is supposed to be super good for sensitive eyes so it's on my shopping list. I sure do love a false lash every now and then for the right occasion.
I am so tired of inappropriate names of products. I purposely won't buy items for that reason. I don't care how pretty it is. Don't even get me started on that ridiculous lipstick.
I think apologies aren’t well received because they’re never genuine. people only apologize when they get caught for doing something bad, not because they actually feel bad about the thing they did. if people gave heartfelt apologies I think people would be more open to accepting them. but people just see right through these influencers.
Except her followers who don’t believe she lied. She can lie over and over to all of them. If she apologized they’d be like see, she’s not a big fat liar
2a to 4c curls? That's SUPER inclusive! I have 3B hair, and it's so awkward to find products sometimes! The products are for the extremes, and I'm sitting here practically in the middle. I'll have to look up Tia's line, I'm really curious about it. And yes, women with curls get crap for their curls and it's really stupid.
I still run into folks who think using SPF in their makeup is enough 😵 Like no, not only that, but the SPF in make up is even less than it says, probably by half cos you're not using enough of the product! So yeah, keep mentioning it for sure 'cos there's still plenty of misconceptions out there.
Hello. We live in a world where politicians lie everyday and it’s no big deal to their fellow representatives. It’s all the same when you lie to customers or to friends. it’s a fraud on others.
I blew my mind to hear Laura Lee and Manny talk about Mikayla on Fool Coverage. Laura just ripped her apart!! Like who are you??! Everyone remembers what you did 🤣🤣🤣
So your makeup esthetic is very different then mine. But I really enjoy watching your “what’s new in makeup” videos. I can tell you are such a smart woman and I appreciate how deep you dive into your research of a topic and the eloquence in which you speak about it. I appreciate your videos. Thank you!
Sidebar from an old lady. I can’t help but wonder if the tolerance from misleading marketing has come about due to the tolerance for misinformation in the news media. Back in the day, news reporters had to relay facts that were substantiated, not rumors or opinions.
The new telescopic mascara is interesting because of the flat side of the Wand.. Last year I had gotten the Charlotte Tillberry Pillow Talk mascara which was a free gift with purchase. I actually read the instructions how to apply on the box. I honestly don’t think I have ever read the instructions on a mascara… What was interesting is that the wand is the same as this new telescopic. Charlotte Tillberry description states to brush on a thin coat then use the flat side of the one to press and hold your lashes up for a few seconds before continuing.🤔 I then followed the instructions on one eye and just applied as normal on the other. Definitely a difference when you use the flat side of the wind and push those lashes up and hold to let the mascara dry up a little bit… Who knew that was a thing?
Same. I've been wondering why and I think it's because when I first (sneakily because I wasn't allowed) wore mascara I was 11. When I was actually allowed to wear make-up I was 14, so makeup feels like a teens and adult thing, not an exclusively adult thing. Sexualised make-up is very creepy when you think that someone in their early teens might be using it. Also as an adult it just seems really tacky.
So excited to see some good news for a change - congratulations Tia! Good luck on your haircare line! The fact that a person's natural hair would keep them from getting roles is sad. Also, congrats to Risa on her lash line! The martini set sounds lovely
Mikayla, "no falsies all mascara", Nogueira! She is a whole mess!!!!! Of course it was falsies! And for her to come back all smug and arrogant...I just can't with her. Never liked her anyway!
Mikayla is definitely doing the old 'never complain, never explain' PR tourniquet. Honestly, what I'm so over and done with are all these "brand trips"... Pre-pandemic it was annoying to see all over social media but whatever... post pandemic the last thing I want to see are a bunch of influencer's getting lavish all expense paid trips to fancy locations so they can all hock the same crap on their social media outlets... acting like they genuinely love the products and we're all supposed to pretend like we don't know they've been on this expensive sponsored getaway. It's so disingenuous and yuck to me.
Regarding the Dior lawsuit, I used to work in cosmetics retail and In healthcare, and the amount of things that we assume people would know that they don’t is staggering.
What Mikayla did was actually make a lot of people go out and buy the mascara to see what the hype is about! I’m sure L’Oréal broke a record with how many sold and probably congratulating her. 🤦🏻♀️
And that makes me happy I don't use anything by Loreal or Mikayla, I'm a person who enjoys integrity in a person....I unfollowed her LONG time ago after it seemed the fame went to her head, maybe it was the plumped lips or her ALWAYS posting the food she was eating and then complaining about her weight, some people just do NOT have ANY self awareness....who in this world has an eating disorder and creates a vlog about eating....she did that a while back and red flags went up everywhere for me and I watched how it slowly blew up on her and in her face....
I think what’s important to note about this is that most sponsored videos from influencers (ESPECIALLY with big deals like this) will go through a review from the brand, so I’d put all my money on the fact that L’Oreal reviewed her video, realized how much press it would get, and then gave it the thumbs up. Mikayla is a pretty disingenuous person, and L’Oreal DEFINITELY threw her under the bus for sales. Shitty behavior all around
Imo the telescopic was a lot better in your demo. I tried telescopic before all the controversy. And I do have to say I was more than impressed. I have thin, long lashes, and I got more volume than I ever get with most mascaras along with length.
Personally, with the apology bit; I believe people see it as an omission of guilt instead of someone taking accountability. So the world turns and points the finger as “see they did this bad thing and they are admitting to it.” Instead of “oh, look they are taking accountability and learning a lesson from their wrong doing.” I also believe that we need to go offer the brand, yes she did it but what is even worse is that L’Oréal approved it and why are we just upset with the influencer about it, because we all know she wouldn’t have been able to post it under a paid partnership if they didn’t say it was acceptable. Yes, I do not believe her reviews, but tbh I haven’t ever seen her as someone who is a reliable source. Thanks for the video, and those are just my two cents on the situation. ❤
Jen! Off topic but something to look into, Boxycharm was deleting comments on instagram and even stopped a live video mid stream because they’re getting complaints! No one’s receiving their choice item for the rare beauty foundation! They’re only giving their customers a 6 or 12 dollar coupon! I haven’t received my choice items so I’m one of the many!
Idk if she did but frankly i felt like fenty really set the stage for non makeup specific celebrities when it comes to what people expect in quality. We know they can afford it. We dont want any more cash grabs, try harder, basically, i continue to love her products and i literally never listened to her music or anything related to her. I genuinely love her makeup because the quality is there and care was considered
Traci Ellis Ross launched Pattern Beauty a few years back with the same intention of creating a product that benefits textured hair. Glad to see there will be more choices
She didn’t apologize bc she didn’t need to. Millions aren’t holding her accountable. That look of smugness like go ahead and hate; I’m still making bank. Disgusting to look at and hear. Her personality makes her ugly in so many ways
It seems like the Tiktok community and her most hardcore fans are more loyal to Mikayla the person over the salesperson. It reminds me of the time I read that Beyoncé’s Bee Hive would accept anything she does and the example was “Beyoncé could throw Ivy from a balcony and they’d be like “Yass queen! Throw that bitch!” - of course a gross exaggeration but it made me laugh! I think it’s the same situation here…
Me being a 90s kid, I love the Tia and Tamara, even tho this is not a product I can use, but yesss girl. I’m so excited for her and others who this will help ! 🖤
Finally someone compares the mascara side to a different mascara on the other side! I think it’s STUPID when people put mascara on and rave about it comparing it to their other “naked” eye. Like, duh, it looks better bc you put mascara on. I’ve always wanted someone to put a different, maybe their favorite go-to mascara, on the other eye. THAT is a comparison!
The time, thought and effort you put into your videos is amazing. You do a great job at mimicking tv news geared towards a beauty-centric audience! I love it.
You are such a safe space in the weird wacky internet Jen! You always keep it light and honest and I appreciate you so much!!! I don't get to watch CZcams as much but whenever I do I'm always happy to hear from you! 😊 Keep on keeping on girl!!! 🥰
hi jen! ive been watching beauty youtube for almost a decade now and ive really disconnected and stopped watching so many influencers as i found them uninteresting or not very trustworthy. I must say your channel is a breath of fresh air and im so glad i found it! especially after becoming so disillusioned with tiktok influencers . This series s so unqiue and entertaining, ever since the beauty news channel stopped posting a few years ago ive really missed content in this niche in the community,
Who said we needed phallus lipstick again… I wonder in what situation I won’t be embarrased by using it in public or how stupid I would look if my purse spilled and THAT ended up on a floor. Nars looks like PG brand with their big O collections at least compared to Isamaya. Bye bye xx
I have a friend who's getting married this year, and I'm thinking about getting one for her for her Bachelorette party. I think that might be the only time it would be appropriate. Lol.
@@angelafahlenkamp9311 that’s the problem I want to love that brand. If only they would have put only IDK veins? on normaly shaped component. Their first launch was perfect mix of explicit and useful but this looks like it was made for gigle only.
So...if the mascara "review" was sponsored by l'Oreal, isn't it routine that they would review the content before it is allowed to be posted? Why is there no backlash against l'Oreal for allowing the deceptive review? Does this create a legal truth-in-advertising issue for the company?
Btw Jen, I contacted L’Oreal Australia and asked them when the telescopic lift was going to be available in Australia. They replied that it hadn’t yet been approved for sale in Australia!
Oh! I didn't know the big hair chop movement was started by black women on instagram. I remember being in college back then and I too had very damaged curly hair. I'm asian and curly hair isn't the norm from where I'm from so I ended up frying my hair from having it chemically straightened since I was a teenager. So When I heard this "trend" from another curly friend, we did it to and got a big hair chop. Brings back so many memories.
All Mikayla has to do in order to "clear" her name is : Release a vid of her applying the mascara (exactly as you did) - no cuts allowed. Then we would see the true, unequivocal results. Makeup has become so expensive purely because of supply and demand. Simple economics - our buying power meant the demand grew and grew. Therefore, (almost) all cosmetic brands responded to our demands by creating more makeup at a grossly inflated price. THAT lip*ick is disgusting. I'd love to get your take on the Vieve products, please 🙏🏻 Much love 🌟🌸🌟🌸🌟
Tbh I never trusted reviews from Michaela but I did enjoy her and follow her anyway. When all of this happened I still followed her because I didn’t watch her for legitimate reviews. However, her reaction grossed me out to the point that I absolutely went out of my way to Unfollow her on all platforms. It was obnoxious and I find it super gross that that is considered aspirational by so many! 🤦🏼♀️
She is and was panicking behind the scenes, she has to learn to tow the line because that 2 million dollar home she bought depends on her brand continuing to succeed, I guarantee 💯 percent she was having a melt down those first few days, I also bet we won't hear about ANY rude interactions either....she won't do a mascara video maybe EVER again
I just mad love you Jen! I laughed all through this video! Thank you!!! so with you on all this! I have mobility issues, I have to use mascara with a bent handle, I am so glad they made that kind and people like me can use it by ourselves, I don't have to ask my daughter to put it on.
I am surprised to hear Isamaya Beauty wasn't on your radar! She's a unique brand, with a different approach to make up, seriously, beyond the penis- her Industrial palette was a lot of peoples number one palette of 2022
Also about the lies being supposedly told & the corrupt ways some YT, instagram etc individuals are conducting themselves is shameful, not everyone who has money to spend of makeup is fooled & willing to put up with this crap. Lying is wrong & ignoring falsehood is more wrong. My money & views are elsewhere. The US society has put up with too much corruption & lies imho. Done with this crap, Jen thank you for keeping it real!
Jen, I've already said 2023 is going to be my year of only buying makeup that is $15 and under. Makeup prices have gotten soooo incredibly expensive..nope not doing that this year. I've put a hard stop boundary on my makeup purchases.
It is sad how society has changed. If someone is humble enough to apologize, we need to show grace instead of kicking them when they are down. Unearthing missteps to cancel people shows how unforgiving the mob is.
That's awesome that they are in a way teaching and influencing our youth that it's ok to lie and they will not get in trouble, this world has gone to crap
I think Raw Beauty Kristy said it best in her video. Being lied to is not okay because it does not stop there….diet products, medication, teeth whitening, literally giving them permission to lie about everything with no consequences. This is how consumers get hurt and if you have accepted it as normal, there is no way you can expect to hold them accountable some times for lying, but not all the time. Lying is not okay and should never be accepted. People work hard for their money, I watch reviews to help decode if the product is really worth it. So if your being paid, I expect you to put that up front, speak it in your review and put it in the title.
Deception in advertising must have stricter punishment or this will continue

Also, I know it's touchy for me to speak on black women's hair but, I am a hairdresser and have done relaxers, hot comb styling, wig styling etc. And I am just absolutely THRILLED to see such a push from the black community to take back their hair. Curly hair is beautiful and the things they felt pressured to do to conform to societal expectations are so very destructive to the hair.

It always works out better in the long run, both for the hair and the wallet.

I've learned from a Hollywood PR professional who works with celebrities that, 99% of the time, the best thing to do for long-term career survival is to lay low completely until things blow over, then appear again and act like nothing happened, and just continue to do whatever made them famous/popular originally.

Mikayla is a problematic person, and I was watching Paige Christie live last night. She brought up a situation from November 2022 involving Mikayla claiming the owner of a black owned brand used vaseline to make her swatches longer. This is a girl who'll throw shade, and do problematic things much like Jaclyn Hill and others. In the end where does it truly get you ? No place good, because you lose full credibility, integrity and respect from people who've supported you, your lifestyle and lined your pockets with their hard earned money. Keep being real Jen, I know you've always been 100 % authentic from the start !
Nothing lasts forever, what goes up inevitably goes back down, social media gets boring real quick so it won't be too long before we see her in our rear view mirror
@@angelafahlenkamp9311 Absolutely ! She and Jaclyn Hill can share fond memories of how they we're the IT girls of beauty lol and how they're just sellouts. I find it amusing that Mikayla thinks she's some hot take, when there is millions more where she came from.
Yeah Not a fan of Mikayla's anymore. She's rubbed me the wrong way for the last time.
My thought: she didn’t apologize bc she had the Glow Recipe trip coming up so she had to start posting again contractually.
Nailed it
She has plenty of time to apologize BEFORE coming back to sell sell sell
@@all4beauty744 agreed. I personally think she’d still be silent if she was contractually obligated to post for the brand trip.
I will NOT be buying anything with Mikayla name on it, makes me wonder how well it sells after this drama....
I think Target will be a much better fit for Hyram’s brand. It wasn’t a luxury brand, and it just didn’t land with Sephora customers. But the simple packaging, eco friendly ideals and affordable pricing should work with Target shoppers.
@@Balletified $13-$25 is a lower price point for Sephora, and fits in with a lot of other drugstore brands.
I’ve never been able to get past the fact he calls himself “ expert” or “ specialist”. I worked my socks off for 30 years, continual study, master degree to be an expert in my field so his self proclamation did not sit right with me. I too am a skin enthusiast too, with some professional skin care knowledge but would never claim to be an expert. When I read his linkin I just shook my head. So would not give him my money. But props to him for making some money .
@@SleepinBee I've never voluntarily watched any of his content but it sometimes gets thrown up on my Facebook feed and his smug face annoys the heck out of me 🤣 I worked in skincare retail for a few years which apparently made us "specialists" but in reality we just knew how to recite ingredient names and benefits.
I was never a fan of Mikayla, every time I would stumble across her videos I would always get bad vibes from her. 🤷🏻♀️ idk if it is just me but I think this scandal just validates those feelings further.
As a makeup lover I am tired of being influenced and tricked into buying something that I don’t need just to make someone an extra penny. Buying another mascara that is just going to expire in 5 months seems really unethical to me, especially during times like this with inflation and the rising cost of rent. I really think over consumption is dead and people are starting to make smarter decisions with their purchases. Having an influencer as big as Mikayla lie and manipulate her followers for the extra buck is extremely irritating and gross.
Same. She always struck me as crass and insincere. Also for some reason her overall comportment reminds me of a chicken. Not sure why.
I wish I'd picked up on it like you did. I actually thought she seemed quite sweet, so it's really jarring to find out how many things she's been dodgy about. This doesn't seem to be a one-off, it's a pattern of behaviour for her.
Same and I found her very annoying 😂
I didn’t get a good vibe from her either 🥴😵💫
Every video of hers that I would see she always had on the beauty filter! I never trusted her either.
Jen, I work at Ulta and made the testers for the KVD foundation yesterday. The colors don't match (i.e, the bottle may look light but it isnt) so, the shades are pretty comparable to what they say, not necessarily what it looks like in the bottle.
Just thought I'd share!
I saw so many people shitting on the shade range but…. 10 shades each for light, medium, tan and deep is pretty good! The swatches on their website shows a big range. Fenty did pretty much the same thing and had almost the same amount when they first started and everyone was losing their minds about the inclusivity 🤣🤣 I guess you can’t please everyone
Thank you for letting us know. Seems crazy that they’d release them with what appears to be a defect. Oh well, it’s their choice.
Thank you Kellie!
Great info thanks! 😊
I agree with that statement about the quality of Ariana’s products. I was interested in her perfumes when I heard she had a line. I went to Ulta to smell them and they smell cheap and no bueno. In contrast, I’ve bought some of Rihanna’s skincare and Mariah’s perfumes and both are high quality products. That’s why their stuff is doing so well.
her perfumes are far from smelling “cheap” cloud has literally won best perfume of the year back in 2019. i own several of the perfumes and i find them to have a long lasting scent and they’re definitely not “cheap” smelling. however, i agree the packaging for some isn’t the best looking which would make them seem a bit cheap.
@@naomi-7 Well in my opinion they smell cheap. Like cotton candy little kids' perfume. I'm glad you like them though. God bless.
Hey there Jen, have you considered joining a journalist's union/guild and registering as an independent/self-employed? You do such hard-hitting work in our space, I think you could use the protection and resources!
She won’t loose subscribers because people stick around to see the apology video and then they leave but you pointing that out made me realize that I was doing the same thing. I’m going to go unsubscribe from her right now. You are 100000% right she has no incentive to tell the truth now that she realized no one cared she lied
When Jen called out the lack of seasoning on the chicken 😂.
She faced no consequences from L'Oreal from this. You only feel bad if you get in trouble. I think she got a huge pay day and lots of flowers/ support from L'Oreal because she seemed happy and downright chipper. If I saw a huge bonus / commissions from the sale in my account then I would hop online and do my makeup. They didn't condemn her and I think that's why.
L'Oreal approved the ad.....
Integrity is everything and Mikalya has none.
Unfortunately, I think that this situation shows us that integrity has been greatly devalued 😔
She lost what little she had left…
💯%!!
I feel the same way about Hyrum that you feel about Mikayla..can’t trust his reviews. Didn’t buy his products at Sephora, and won’t be buying them at Target (not having Target in Canada helps 😂)
I never got good vibes from Mikayla (and her voice kind of annoys me, but I don't love bringing that up cause it isn't cool to bully someone, y'know? But now that her true personality has been exposed, I'm a little less hesitant to mention it). And I also got bad vibes from Hyrum as well. Maybe it's the way he speaks like he's a dermatologist or atleast an aesthetician, but he's actually neither. He's just a skincare enthusiast but we could argue that Jen is a skincare ingredient enthusiast, too, and I don't get the same "know it all" impression from her.
I used to be a Hyram subscriber, but when he started raving about Mario Badescu products after roasting them before (rightfully so), it seemed like he was someone who sells his recommendations. I just can't trust him anymore after that and unsubscribed.
About the “male form” lipstick… have you ever seen Johnny Ross’ video shorts about working at Sephora? The parts where he has to read off sexual shade names to customers is HILARIOUS…
But really, stuff like that should be relegated to bachelorette parties.
I lurrrrrrve those Sephora shorts. Johnny cracks me up!!!!!!! I never miss a video.
here for this tea....
Hey girl haaaay! I'm soooo here for it too!
😂😂 I will be waiting for your and Dustin’s notifications to pop up 💚💚💚
me too, while patiently waiting for your upload!! and Dustin's!! 💚💙💚💙
just a reminder that class action lawsuits are a great way for lawyers to make money and not a good way for consumers to get money
Every time I hear about another one those are my thoughts exactly!!!
What annoyed me with brands is that an indie brand Adept cosmetics put out a $135 mystery box and it ended being 8 eyeliners and a palette. I was told if I want a refund I have to pay to send it back and it was my fault for being a new customer and buying it.
She did say if you’re new not to buy it but didn’t understand why. I love adept but glad I didn’t get it because I would have been disappointed with 8 eyeliners too.
They are different shades. She is also deleting comments from people who are upset and keeping ones that are glowing. Mine is still up but it's getting traction.
I don’t understand… why would old customers be ok with that? Wouldn’t they be more likely to have some of the products?
@@amyed3415 I totally understand what she said but I have people replying saying the aren't new and still disappointed. Also how do you expect to get repeat costumers if you tell people not to buy your items.
@@khills🤷🏽♀️ I even asked the influencer that I used her code and she doubled down. Saying well it is all new products. The eyeliners are new but seems deceptive saying new products when it was just 1 product in different shades.
Thank you for being this committed and passionate for makeup and justice 😘😘🍭
IF the penis lipstick was $40 I would be buying for my friends as a fun gift when their birthday came up, but not at $95
Ikr! I have a friend who’s getting married and this would be a great goody bag gift but not for $95!!
Super rough week for me my dad had a small stroke so been in and out of the hospital but counting on WUIM and Live Chat to keep a little of my “normal routine” has helped immensely. Actually grateful live chat is at 5 because I’m here at bedside with my dad. And it will a great distraction ❤
Why would anyone reapply foundation every two hours? 🤣 These brands need to knock it off, like stop putting spf in foundation. 🤦🏾♀️
I agree. What’s the point of creating a 24 hour foundation if you have to reapply it every 2 hours to maintain the SPF benefits? Makes no sense. Plus I am allergic to chemical SPF. It gives me a rash. It’s really hard to find a foundation without it or one that uses natural SPF. They are out there but not as prevalent.
I kept the wand from the original Loreal telescopic mascara because I liked how much volume/lift it gave my lashes. I'll dip it in a tube of a mascara and use it if I don't like the wand of the original product. It's an annoying extra step but the original wand does give my lashes a false Lash effect and I dig it.
I love the original too and I’m not buying the new one for the principle (marketing scam) alone.
@@Ziguly samesies.
@@ZigulyI had bought it prior to her post😢
I did the same thing. I love that skinny wand. Pixi has a tiny brush for lower lashes. I haven't tried it yet but I'd prob like the tiny skinny brush.
I just have to make a comment about the spf in foundation thing. I'm the really the only one of my friends who is very in to beauty, makeup, skincare etc. I have had to explain to multiple of my friends that not only do they need to reapply their sunscreen but that their foundation likely isn't giving them enough protection because they'd have to put a lot on. Most of them just assumed that the spf in their foundation would last them the whole day. I think sometimes we forget that the average consumer truly doesn't know this information
Mad love for you Jen
I’m seeing you mentioned on a lot of other channels. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Heheh, Makayla’s the unbothered queen until her fans have gone into debt buying things that she promoted while she becomes wealthy and they decide that she’s “a toxic sell out shilling product”.😅 Idk-I’m not familiar with her or her fan base. I’d imagine they’re relatively young.
At the end of the day, she has to live with herself. Sure, money’s nice, but genuine love/respect/trust is hard to cultivate/maintain and knowing that you don’t have that around you is crippling after a while.
I’ve watched a few of her things that interested me but between her horrible fake accent and the amazingly thick filters she uses that keep you from actually seeing anything…
Part of the reason for the subscriber drop wit apologies is that they almost never seem genuine. Even ones that seem somewhat genuine are often released too late and after all the drama has started to settle down. It almost feels like an individual is being more honest by not addressing the drama or refusing to apologize. There seems to be this mentality that if someone says "I'm sorry," then all of the consequences will just go away. That's not reality. People want a genuine remorse or they see it for what it is, attempting to get out of taking responsibility for bad actions. I've had this argument with so many parents and educators only to have them insist that I'm wrong. I'm going to start using the influencer world on them to attempt to get my point across.
I’m a little surprised that I’m not hearing more about Madison Lewis’ video saying it’s ok to lie bc everyone does it. Won’t be trusting anything she says!
OMG her video made me so angry! Not everyone is a liar honey.
I just bought the Sephora size up mascara during the holiday sale at 30% off. This was the 1st time I purchased it. I love it too Jen! I am on a new mascara journey after having found my top 5 holy grails. I have suddenly and abruptly and rudely become severely sensitive and/or allergic to most mascaras now! I'm happy to report that with 3 uses so far I have had no issues. I've had no itching I've had no red eyes I've had no gumminess later in the day yeah I know it looks it's not a good look. It looks like pink eye after about 3 hours of wearing problematic mascaras and I even have to have a prescription on hand of eye drops. It takes 3 days after wearing a problematic mascara to recover from that event. Anyhow Another fantastic video and thank you so much for your hard work I so look forward to you on Sundays.
Do you also have rosacea? There is a category called Rosacea, Ocular affect. For me, it means no waterproof eyeliner, mascara or other products around the eyes; no waterlining, tightlining or little shimmer smudge on the tear duct corners; no fragranced makeup items around the eyes; no false eyelashes, whether glued or magnetic, and no lash extensions; no lash growth serums or other topical treatments; very careful use of concealers in the eye area; no chemical or hybrid sunscreens near the eyes; no fragranced eye makeup removers, skin cleansers or moisturizers near the eyes... And anytime I use eyedrops for occasional dry eyes, I must use the kind that come in individual, single-user vials. Ask your opthamologist for answers your dermatologist probably can't give. Good luck!
@@MyCleverHandle Holy Crap Cathy! First of all, I had no idea that type of rosacea was even a thing. But no I don't have rosacea at all. But thank you for the information. Disturbingly however, a lot of the things you tell me that you can't do with such a condition, I also cannot do. Not only do I seem to react in an allergic manner to many mascaras all of the sudden, but also I am reacting to eyeliners and to simple smudging of eye shadow under my eye or putting a pop of highlight in the tear duct area of my eye. I honestly thought I had contaminated eyeliners and have been tossing them out. I was suddenly discounting my makeup abilities in being able to put eyeshadow under my eyes after having been doing my own make up for at least I don't know.... perhaps 40 some years now at least, lol. I was beginning to think that I was legit fluffing eyeshadow powder directly into my eye and irritating it every time I do my eye shadow now. And don't get me started with false eyelash glue Lord have mercy! I am on a hunt for a non reactive eyelash glue I thought oh my goodness I must be allergic to latex and then I thought... girlfriend you're not allergic to latex you use latex gloves all the time what are you thinking. But I thought well maybe my eyes are just sensitive to latex. The one by Juvia's Place is supposed to be super good for sensitive eyes so it's on my shopping list. I sure do love a false lash every now and then for the right occasion.
The muting of he who shall not be named’s name had me cackling😂🤣😂🤣😂
I am so tired of inappropriate names of products. I purposely won't buy items for that reason. I don't care how pretty it is. Don't even get me started on that ridiculous lipstick.
I think apologies aren’t well received because they’re never genuine. people only apologize when they get caught for doing something bad, not because they actually feel bad about the thing they did. if people gave heartfelt apologies I think people would be more open to accepting them. but people just see right through these influencers.
Except her followers who don’t believe she lied. She can lie over and over to all of them. If she apologized they’d be like see, she’s not a big fat liar
@@all4beauty744 facts!!!!
Lmfao 2023 product report be like “now we have *mute* blush, the *mute* lipstick, a red velvet *mute mute mute*” 😂😂😂
2a to 4c curls? That's SUPER inclusive! I have 3B hair, and it's so awkward to find products sometimes! The products are for the extremes, and I'm sitting here practically in the middle. I'll have to look up Tia's line, I'm really curious about it. And yes, women with curls get crap for their curls and it's really stupid.
I still run into folks who think using SPF in their makeup is enough 😵 Like no, not only that, but the SPF in make up is even less than it says, probably by half cos you're not using enough of the product! So yeah, keep mentioning it for sure 'cos there's still plenty of misconceptions out there.
Here’s a shocker! All my local drug stores have set up tables with telescopic mascara right at the front door! Scary
Oh no. 😵💫
Cashing in…
I think they're probably cashing in not on people being fooled, but people wanting to try it for themselves to prove for certain she lied
There was a display in the middle of Ulta when I went this week ugh
To be fair the original one was a huge hit and I'm sure this could've ended up being a bestseller just like Skyhigh without the drama
Hello. We live in a world where politicians lie everyday and it’s no big deal to their fellow representatives. It’s all the same when you lie to customers or to friends. it’s a fraud on others.
I blew my mind to hear Laura Lee and Manny talk about Mikayla on Fool Coverage. Laura just ripped her apart!! Like who are you??! Everyone remembers what you did 🤣🤣🤣
So your makeup esthetic is very different then mine. But I really enjoy watching your “what’s new in makeup” videos. I can tell you are such a smart woman and I appreciate how deep you dive into your research of a topic and the eloquence in which you speak about it. I appreciate your videos. Thank you!
I feel like when you have to bleep out half of the makeup product report, something is terribly wrong. 😂
With how easily accessible information is nowadays, I'm surprised this new generation is so gullible.
🐑 🐑 🐑 😢
Sidebar from an old lady. I can’t help but wonder if the tolerance from misleading marketing has come about due to the tolerance for misinformation in the news media. Back in the day, news reporters had to relay facts that were substantiated, not rumors or opinions.
The new telescopic mascara is interesting because of the flat side of the Wand..
Last year I had gotten the Charlotte Tillberry Pillow Talk mascara which was a free gift with purchase.
I actually read the instructions how to apply on the box. I honestly don’t think I have ever read the instructions on a mascara…
What was interesting is that the wand is the same as this new telescopic. Charlotte Tillberry description states to brush on a thin coat then use the flat side of the one to press and hold your lashes up for a few seconds before continuing.🤔
I then followed the instructions on one eye and just applied as normal on the other. Definitely a difference when you use the flat side of the wind and push those lashes up and hold to let the mascara dry up a little bit… Who knew that was a thing?
So, I am not a 'prude' by any means, but I can't stand sexualizing makeup. I don't know what it is about, but it rubs me the wrong way.
Same. I've been wondering why and I think it's because when I first (sneakily because I wasn't allowed) wore mascara I was 11. When I was actually allowed to wear make-up I was 14, so makeup feels like a teens and adult thing, not an exclusively adult thing. Sexualised make-up is very creepy when you think that someone in their early teens might be using it. Also as an adult it just seems really tacky.
So excited to see some good news for a change - congratulations Tia! Good luck on your haircare line! The fact that a person's natural hair would keep them from getting roles is sad. Also, congrats to Risa on her lash line! The martini set sounds lovely
Mikayla, "no falsies all mascara", Nogueira! She is a whole mess!!!!! Of course it was falsies! And for her to come back all smug and arrogant...I just can't with her. Never liked her anyway!
Mikayla is definitely doing the old 'never complain, never explain' PR tourniquet.
Honestly, what I'm so over and done with are all these "brand trips"... Pre-pandemic it was annoying to see all over social media but whatever... post pandemic the last thing I want to see are a bunch of influencer's getting lavish all expense paid trips to fancy locations so they can all hock the same crap on their social media outlets... acting like they genuinely love the products and we're all supposed to pretend like we don't know they've been on this expensive sponsored getaway. It's so disingenuous and yuck to me.
Regarding the Dior lawsuit, I used to work in cosmetics retail and In healthcare, and the amount of things that we assume people would know that they don’t is staggering.
What Mikayla did was actually make a lot of people go out and buy the mascara to see what the hype is about! I’m sure L’Oréal broke a record with how many sold and probably congratulating her. 🤦🏻♀️
And that makes me happy I don't use anything by Loreal or Mikayla, I'm a person who enjoys integrity in a person....I unfollowed her LONG time ago after it seemed the fame went to her head, maybe it was the plumped lips or her ALWAYS posting the food she was eating and then complaining about her weight, some people just do NOT have ANY self awareness....who in this world has an eating disorder and creates a vlog about eating....she did that a while back and red flags went up everywhere for me and I watched how it slowly blew up on her and in her face....
I think what’s important to note about this is that most sponsored videos from influencers (ESPECIALLY with big deals like this) will go through a review from the brand, so I’d put all my money on the fact that L’Oreal reviewed her video, realized how much press it would get, and then gave it the thumbs up. Mikayla is a pretty disingenuous person, and L’Oreal DEFINITELY threw her under the bus for sales. Shitty behavior all around
Imo the telescopic was a lot better in your demo. I tried telescopic before all the controversy. And I do have to say I was more than impressed. I have thin, long lashes, and I got more volume than I ever get with most mascaras along with length.
This show is my absolute favorite thing to watch on Sunday mornings while I get ready for church ❤
I CANT believe its Sunday ALREADY! C'mon then Jen, give us the run down! 🙌
Personally, with the apology bit; I believe people see it as an omission of guilt instead of someone taking accountability. So the world turns and points the finger as “see they did this bad thing and they are admitting to it.” Instead of “oh, look they are taking accountability and learning a lesson from their wrong doing.”
I also believe that we need to go offer the brand, yes she did it but what is even worse is that L’Oréal approved it and why are we just upset with the influencer about it, because we all know she wouldn’t have been able to post it under a paid partnership if they didn’t say it was acceptable.
Yes, I do not believe her reviews, but tbh I haven’t ever seen her as someone who is a reliable source.
Thanks for the video, and those are just my two cents on the situation. ❤
My husband said "That's ballsy" of the the lipstick company that came out with that lipstick! 😭💀👏👏👏
Exactly! The results were not comparable to the in vitro trials. Likely, the balm makes no visible signs of plumping on a living sample.
Jen! Off topic but something to look into, Boxycharm was deleting comments on instagram and even stopped a live video mid stream because they’re getting complaints! No one’s receiving their choice item for the rare beauty foundation! They’re only giving their customers a 6 or 12 dollar coupon! I haven’t received my choice items so I’m one of the many!
Idk if she did but frankly i felt like fenty really set the stage for non makeup specific celebrities when it comes to what people expect in quality. We know they can afford it. We dont want any more cash grabs, try harder, basically, i continue to love her products and i literally never listened to her music or anything related to her. I genuinely love her makeup because the quality is there and care was considered
Traci Ellis Ross launched Pattern Beauty a few years back with the same intention of creating a product that benefits textured hair. Glad to see there will be more choices
I think Taraji P. Henson also launched TPH Products, didn't she?
@@MyCleverHandle yes she did. I don't mind celeb hair care as long as they did research and the products work. Shoot I'm on a natural hair journey
The ding a ling lipsticks have me rolling 😂
Thank you for the shout out Jen! I hope you’ll come visit Vegas again someday soon! 😘
She didn’t apologize bc she didn’t need to. Millions aren’t holding her accountable. That look of smugness like go ahead and hate; I’m still making bank. Disgusting to look at and hear. Her personality makes her ugly in so many ways
It seems like the Tiktok community and her most hardcore fans are more loyal to Mikayla the person over the salesperson. It reminds me of the time I read that Beyoncé’s Bee Hive would accept anything she does and the example was “Beyoncé could throw Ivy from a balcony and they’d be like “Yass queen! Throw that bitch!” - of course a gross exaggeration but it made me laugh! I think it’s the same situation here…
🤣🤣🤣🤣 throw that b* yasssss queen lmfao
Oh you just got me laughing so hard!!! Thank u so very much! I def needed that 😁😁
I need to say this, cause no one is talking about this, but she started off the video already wearing a false lash on her right eye.
This!!! 🙌🏻
Yeah, the lash band was visible. It almost looked like it was underneath her natural lashes. Did anyone else get that impression?
When you said D*** Stick, I died laughing!
Me being a 90s kid, I love the Tia and Tamara, even tho this is not a product I can use, but yesss girl. I’m so excited for her and others who this will help ! 🖤
Finally someone compares the mascara side to a different mascara on the other side! I think it’s STUPID when people put mascara on and rave about it comparing it to their other “naked” eye. Like, duh, it looks better bc you put mascara on. I’ve always wanted someone to put a different, maybe their favorite go-to mascara, on the other eye. THAT is a comparison!
The time, thought and effort you put into your videos is amazing. You do a great job at mimicking tv news geared towards a beauty-centric audience! I love it.
You are such a safe space in the weird wacky internet Jen! You always keep it light and honest and I appreciate you so much!!! I don't get to watch CZcams as much but whenever I do I'm always happy to hear from you! 😊 Keep on keeping on girl!!! 🥰
hi jen! ive been watching beauty youtube for almost a decade now and ive really disconnected and stopped watching so many influencers as i found them uninteresting or not very trustworthy. I must say your channel is a breath of fresh air and im so glad i found it! especially after becoming so disillusioned with tiktok influencers . This series s so unqiue and entertaining, ever since the beauty news channel stopped posting a few years ago ive really missed content in this niche in the community,
Who said we needed phallus lipstick again… I wonder in what situation I won’t be embarrased by using it in public or how stupid I would look if my purse spilled and THAT ended up on a floor. Nars looks like PG brand with their big O collections at least compared to Isamaya. Bye bye xx
I have a friend who's getting married this year, and I'm thinking about getting one for her for her Bachelorette party. I think that might be the only time it would be appropriate. Lol.
Choice is the grandest thing in our world....to choose or not to
@@sunshinerose685 actually that makes sense. Edit: I personaly would have liked it better to chocolate or plastic alternative.
@@angelafahlenkamp9311 that’s the problem I want to love that brand. If only they would have put only IDK veins? on normaly shaped component. Their first launch was perfect mix of explicit and useful but this looks like it was made for gigle only.
I didn't expect you to talk about the lipsticks. I couldn't stop giggling. 🤣
Jen, I hear you girl! I understood the ✨jump on it reference✨🤣❤️🤣
I am living for your comparison to Dramagedon 1, I hadn't thought about the similarities at all but you make a very strong point! Love your insights!
So...if the mascara "review" was sponsored by l'Oreal, isn't it routine that they would review the content before it is allowed to be posted? Why is there no backlash against l'Oreal for allowing the deceptive review? Does this create a legal truth-in-advertising issue for the company?
There is, and it does, and consumers are definitely upset with L’Oreal’s ethical implications too (but less upset because the mascara is fire…i guess)
the white on white violation with that chicken LMAO
Btw Jen, I contacted L’Oreal Australia and asked them when the telescopic lift was going to be available in Australia. They replied that it hadn’t yet been approved for sale in Australia!
24:00 Because men don’t have enough representation in the patriarchy? Eyes rolling out of my head now…
Ikr! They celebrate their male form plenty. Lol.
Oh! I didn't know the big hair chop movement was started by black women on instagram. I remember being in college back then and I too had very damaged curly hair. I'm asian and curly hair isn't the norm from where I'm from so I ended up frying my hair from having it chemically straightened since I was a teenager. So When I heard this "trend" from another curly friend, we did it to and got a big hair chop. Brings back so many memories.
Lolololol I just got an ad for THE MASCARA at the ad break before the "apology"
All Mikayla has to do in order to "clear" her name is : Release a vid of her applying the mascara (exactly as you did) - no cuts allowed. Then we would see the true, unequivocal results.
Makeup has become so expensive purely because of supply and demand. Simple economics - our buying power meant the demand grew and grew. Therefore, (almost) all cosmetic brands responded to our demands by creating more makeup at a grossly inflated price.
THAT lip*ick is disgusting.
I'd love to get your take on the Vieve products, please 🙏🏻
Much love 🌟🌸🌟🌸🌟
Tbh I never trusted reviews from Michaela but I did enjoy her and follow her anyway. When all of this happened I still followed her because I didn’t watch her for legitimate reviews. However, her reaction grossed me out to the point that I absolutely went out of my way to Unfollow her on all platforms. It was obnoxious and I find it super gross that that is considered aspirational by so many! 🤦🏼♀️
I really think Mikayla does not see what she did was wrong.
Agreed. I don’t think she thinks it’s a big deal and I truly don’t think she cares
She is and was panicking behind the scenes, she has to learn to tow the line because that 2 million dollar home she bought depends on her brand continuing to succeed, I guarantee 💯 percent she was having a melt down those first few days, I also bet we won't hear about ANY rude interactions either....she won't do a mascara video maybe EVER again
Thank you for your clear summaries of the morphe situation.
Does that phallic lipstick vibrate? 😂
Thank you for always promoting integrity Jenn!!
I just mad love you Jen! I laughed all through this video! Thank you!!! so with you on all this! I have mobility issues, I have to use mascara with a bent handle, I am so glad they made that kind and people like me can use it by ourselves, I don't have to ask my daughter to put it on.
I am surprised to hear Isamaya Beauty wasn't on your radar! She's a unique brand, with a different approach to make up, seriously, beyond the penis- her Industrial palette was a lot of peoples number one palette of 2022
honestly, with the mascara girl thing, I at least know that the brands that sponser her are brands to avoid now
Also about the lies being supposedly told & the corrupt ways some YT, instagram etc individuals are conducting themselves is shameful, not everyone who has money to spend of makeup is fooled & willing to put up with this crap. Lying is wrong & ignoring falsehood is more wrong. My money & views are elsewhere. The US society has put up with too much corruption & lies imho. Done with this crap, Jen thank you for keeping it real!
Jen, I've already said 2023 is going to be my year of only buying makeup that is $15 and under. Makeup prices have gotten soooo incredibly expensive..nope not doing that this year. I've put a hard stop boundary on my makeup purchases.
It is sad how society has changed. If someone is humble enough to apologize, we need to show grace instead of kicking them when they are down. Unearthing missteps to cancel people shows how unforgiving the mob is.
I kept thinking my sound was cutting out as you were talking about the Orgasm products lmao ☠️
Thank you for clearly marking your video with products that are PR. I really wish this was the standard and not the exception.
That's awesome that they are in a way teaching and influencing our youth that it's ok to lie and they will not get in trouble, this world has gone to crap
Milani anti gravity seems to me that performs better than L’Oréal one.
I freaking love that Milani mascara!
Mikayla gained an extra 1 million subs through this drama she knows what she's doing got to give her that Drama sells
She did? wow
If people signed up AFTER she lied so they could see more lies then I'll be happy not to know ANY of them 🙂
Lol...I need a psychologists perspective on that. Thats insane to me!
