i think the recs are fine as long as your phrasing it to show that there are cheaper alternatives that will give you the same result. if it can reduce spending habits and obsession with branding, then i don't see the harm. but that's just my opinion.

​@@nidhi2693If you're recommending another product, even if it's cheaper, that's still influencing

​@@nidhi2693totally agreed!!! If there are alternatives without me feeling that I'm depriving myself or missing out on trending skin care or things that are better then it's a win win

I disagree. Most of the time people actually do want to buy a product that they are going to use, the point is that they can get the same thing for a better price.

@@Kayla-eh5fb But would they have originally wanted the product at all if they weren’t exposed to it commercially anyways? All in all no matter how you package it it is just overload consumerism. All these things are things people don’t even need anyways, it’s just piles uopn piles of makeup and skincare and other useless stuff. The problem is not that someone wants a new lipstick and is looking for a cheaper dupe, the problem is that they probably would’t even have wanted this lipstick in the first place if influences on SO didn’t advertise for it. In the end you end up buying some product you originally did not need. No one NEEDS skincare or makeup, it’s just that we live in such a spoilt society were we have too much money on our hands to be tricked into thinking we need it. I wish people would stop and think about how privilieged they are, and how our consumerist priviliege affects the environment and where all that plastic and trash end up. Not to mention that the cheaper the product, the more likely the production costs are cheap, meaning the people that make them are getting poorly paid and probably have poor working conditions. It’s just disgusting.

For actually reasonably priced products

Litteraly like obviously read the bottle to see if it’ll work for youuu dumb

Totally agree about the cream. What constitutes as good skincare is functional skincare (i.e. a moisturizer that truly moisturizes skin deep and has other benefits like antioxidants). Fragrance is not skincare. That said, nowadays you can get products with actives for a lot better a price than $60! I personally don’t think that brand is revolutionary for having an AHA body cream and that price is ridiculous. Their products are like overpriced Victoria’s Secret body creams and mists. Also your point about people not looking into a product to see if it’s right for them is something I always think about with viral products! There’s a brand called Phytosurgence that has really cool products but they say they don’t want to go viral because people tend to just buy what social media tells them to and wonder why they don’t love something. And then their inbox blows up with “I don’t like your product” messages. They want people to actually use what they buy and not let it sit there untouched. End rant!

Yeah, I was like body creams and lotions are to treat skin. Perfumes or the spray is the smell good tool.

I make my own detergent. Borax, laundry soap and a laundry soap bar.

@@TK-xw5db that’s actually a cool idea!

buy regular detergent like the rest of us???

you could just buy the detergent that comes in a jug 🤦🏻‍♀️

Your absolute horrible spelling and grammar has me rolling 😂

@@arizonastaraldc sorry I was in a rush 😭 LMAO

It's just false advertising. A hairstylist on KZfaq actually debunked this and showed that it uses about the same amount of heat as other blowdryers that are a quarter of the price.

@@Kayla-eh5fb oh yeah. thats why i said supposedly. This is why i havent committed to buying it yet - because i'm skeptical.

realll like its supposed to last all day but it doesnt i love the glossier ones i actually found the rare beauty DIDNT have pigment but its so overhyped omg

@@sabrinalavallo1064 that’s so funny cuz for my it wouldn’t wash off and was on my face for THREE DAYS

@@St4rz.the.therian-vz2xv DAMN thats crazy lol

Elf new blush is a good replacement

ooh i havent tried it but the glossier ones are the best ever I LOVE THEM SO MUCH@@azborderlands

Fixing it when it breaks doesn’t sound fun tho.. /nm I agree with you, but you could wear gloves and a mask, get bigger bin bags so you take it out less often, or smaller ones that are easier to handle£ there’s also bin bags with draw strings to close them

lynnfromthetin ty :)

I think that one is for oily skin

@@alocal1388 thank you i have combination skin

I think it’s doing the opposite. Lots of girls are looking older since using these products.

​@@tiffanyotero2960agreed. With all the harsh chemicals and fragrance it's making 15 year old look like 50 year old divorced mom's. More doesn't equal better.

I love Byoma! I can get it at target and it lasts for sooo long! Plus it actually does good for my skin. I only use the pink bottle moisturizer bc I don’t need all the other stuff, but there’s more if people like all the toners and creams. Very versatile skincare

She isn't wrong, she sharing her personal experience with the product. Just say your experience is different.
