I was wondering 😂😂jk

Tell us your secret xD

This is probably pre-recorded before the hair cut :)

@@Hibbity_Hobbity true

Ya no joke 😂😂

ohhhhh hi

Love your videos Casey!😍🙇🏻‍♀️

Immediately watched this video because (1) it’s mia, and (2) i saw blogilates OMG what

Hiiii I love all ur designs and I would love if u could make a jumper or a crop top

What is the fabriiiic😂

i dont even understand how it could be that much!?! like how are taxes on something more than the item itself wtf

It makes me maad to!!

@@courtneyschaump exactly seems very wrong, I leave in Quebec, order often from Us, often I do not even pay a custom fees , but when I had to pay one it never exceed 40-50$ big max. You will thing it will also be based on the pricing of what you had orders. This makes absolutely no sens at all. At first I thought it's because her location , but the clothes (who surely cost her more than the Emma coffee was less custom fees) this is strange.

I wonder if there are forwarding services you could use? You ship your items to a US warehouse then consolidate parcels to ship them for cheaper to your country

Yeah

What are customs?

What is custom?

​@@isoliviaraplace customs are taxes /fees that one has to pay when shipping items from one country to another. Mia had to pay that price because it was going from the USA to Canada

It is the sender’s fault if the customs are insane. It means they haven’t bothered to set up a customs arrangement, or looked into it at all. If you ‘ship’ the item without a contract, it is going to be insane. If it’s food, or anything perishable, it will be way worse. Any US sender who takes three seconds to set up a contract with a shipping company will save their customers a ton of money. I simply refuse to pay insane customs fees- I once had to pay $2.55cdn in tax, but with all the shipping fees and brokerage fees it was over $60.00 added!!!! Bonkers! (PS- a couple of tips- keep it under $100 if u can, they don’t usually charge under $100. Tell the sender to send it via regular mail- Canada post brokerage fees are way cheaper than the for profit guys.).

I think it bad in Canada. In the USA Ive never seen it rack up like that ever

It's literally the only brand I buy anymore cause they dry so fast and so cleanly. And you gotta love anything holo or glittery!

I wish postage to the UK was cheaper. I soooo want some Holo Taco polish. I've been following Cristine for a long time!

Definitely gonna be looking into it now 😊

I tend to get them for myself and my older sister as she is a rock climber and after i gave her some before she told me how it even stayed on after climbing

I’m on the fence to try out Holo Taco but shipping and customs to 🇨🇭 are sooooooo expensive! All polishes I tried are chipping away the next day but if they that good, maybe I have to try them anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️

SAME i was like well.. that’s me

“The hoarder in me wants to keep these nail polish boxes” (later in video puts bad milk back in the fridge)

When?

Me tooooo

Literally what I would do

And Jacksepticeyes coffee!

literally yes! i've tried a lot of nail polish brands and Holo Taco is truly THE BEST.

I wish I could try it but I can't justify the cost tbh, living vicariously through Mia rn

I love HT 100000%. I am kinda shocked that Mia called it a luxury product, and didn't call out the expensive workout clothes, matcha/hot chocolate, etc... A terribad $13 Essie polish or $15 OPI CANNOT even come close to a $18 HT polish...

@@AhhhSukeSuke $18 HT polish??? When was that??? I just checked and all her individual polishes range from $12-$15

@@misswilwarin8829 $18 in Canadian dollars. That comes out to around $13 in USD.

Welcome to our world (Canadians). And the worst thing is, there never seems to be any rhyme or reason to it! It's ridiculous!

Same thing here in Brazil, it’s a nightmare

I wonder why that is 😯 shouldn't it be only a few percent of the worth of the products that come into Canada?

Can't you lie about buying new stuff when you come back in the country?

@@simplyboppingK yes if you really feel the need

Wait.. that's actually a thing? I'm super insecure about my hands and nails. As someone with severe anxiety, I pick the skin from my fingers and I get so scared of being judged from it! In general I'm just insecure about my hands and such. I hate it.

Am I crazy or did she pick Colours that just don’t inspire? Maybe the darker ones pop more?

@@email8384 I loved the green one she chose! So pretty! I'm going to check out their website, though, because I like dark colours on my toes.

As someone who owns every single Holo Taco polish, yes I have kept all the packages! It came in clutch when I moved last year

@@email8384 definitely check out their website, there are so many different colours and formulas (more chunky or linear etc)

Ikr it kinda triggered me when she threw em away

maybe it'll be good another day LOL

@@MiaMaples 😂you’re hilarious

And the fear on her face as well hehehe

Maybe as a reminder to actually replace it

@@MiaMaples I do the same thing, don’t worry 💀😂

HAHA I was thinking the same thing

ikr

It had me screaming😂

Another Aussie here and I agree with you about sending to Australia. Holo taco is great I have been using it for years. Don’t understand the import tax though. Happy for someone to explain it.

A lot of times it is the country itself charging all these import taxes as a way to deter out of country purchases. It sucks though!

@@alexispemberton3615 I'm inAustralia and never been charged a custom fee. But the postage fee can be high. Its really weird that Canada does that. I would be scared to order online if I never knew I would have to pay $100+ to receive my parcel. I mean you can't just say no and get a refund from the store I assume. So if you don't pay custom you just wasted all the money you already spent. They are holding peoples parcels hostage

She was talking about TAX not shipping they are two different things !

@@em84c yes they are confusing customes with postage !!!!!

It grew

it grew so fast ;)

🤣🤣🤣

Ya

WHATTTTTTTTYYYYY LUCKY DAY IS THIS I GOT REPLY FROM MIAAAAA 😭😭😭😭😭😭 SOMEONE PINCE ME 😭😭😭

Am I the only one who thinks the workout dress is SO not cute? It’s not anything about Mia - I’ve seen others try it on also and it always looks so ugly to me. The black color is better than the pink which I’ve seen tried on and it’s a dingy, approaching skin kind of tone, drab color pink. I cannot figure out WHY THE HECK people think it’s cute! Is it because it’s something that isn’t commonly seen (a workout dress) and so that fact somehow translates into “it’s cute”?? The flare leggings were cute on Mia. The dress is a HELLLLLLL NO.

​@@mandyheart8754 I mean, beauty is subjective. Not everyone is going to love the same look, no need to be hung up over it?

Idk of its an accent thing more she just doesn’t know. I live in the northern United States where we have what I would call a less severe Canadian accent lmao and I hear it pronounced both ways, but when I ask people or correct them, it’s more that they just didn’t know.

I’m Canadian and I pronounce it “maw - tcha”. We don’t typically say it how she does

@@gachageeky8911 You may be right. She only just said the word "match" and added an "a" at the end. I saw some Canadians reply on a different comment saying something similar to you.

Most people pronounce it like her apart from Americans as usual lmao

Errm no we say matcha normally I think it’s just her 😂

Can I ask.. What is the customs fee all about, and why is it so high? And why aren't customers told before they make the purchase how much it will be? As an Australian this has always confused me, and I've always wondered how those who don't have tonnes of money can afford a sudden huge fee like that without warning 😬

@@katyb2793 as far as I know, custom fees are fees imposed by the government of each country for basically importing an item from another country. Like an extra charge for not buying an item from a local vendor. I know nothing about how the fees are calculated or which items get them, and online vendors don’t know either, since custom fees are unique to each country, so the most they can tell a customer is “this may be subject to custom fees”🤷🏻‍♀️

@@maplecake oh wow... that's crazy.. do people buy from overseas often, or does this put them off? The way Australia deals with it is we now pay a 10% goods and services tax (which we pay on everything in Australia too) on anything bought from overseas. I think the company we buy from is required to add the 10% charge and pay it to the government. We don't have to do anything. I just found something to be grateful for today 🤔

@@katyb2793 We don’t pay customs on everything though. What items get fees depends on what they are, which country they come from, where they’re made and the value of the item, and that’s all calculated by Canadian Border Services. We don’t pay GST on overseas items 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@maplecake oh I see. I think I'd be too scared to buy from overseas! It's so complicated! And yes our government is so tax hungry we get taxed on just about everything 😪 and then they complain they have no money to fix anything 🙄

Why are the fees so much? Especially for a small package? As an American I don’t understand. Especially because she paid $20 in shipping

@reed szvoren so the shipping fee goes to the seller to cover the cost of sending it. The customs (I believe) is essentially duties and taxes and it typically only applies to things above a certain value. Unfortunately for Mia, a lot of these items are over that value and might even fall under the 'luxury goods' additional taxes. I don't really know the details but I think those things may be taxed higher to help prevent smuggling and importing for resale through improper channels. It can be a big bummer though and sometimes seems way out of wack where the customs end up more expensive than the original order!

I work at the post office and it’s decided by Canadian border services! From my experience its basically the tax amount for your province plus a service fee! It depends on the Canadian value of the parcel and the reason for import! A gift valued at less than $100 is not likely going to have customs. A sale/purchase will likely get charged! I also believe if you frequently make purchases outside the country the more likely you will be charged customs! (Note: If you order tobacco products internationally you also get slammed with fees previously mentioned plus duties…it’s never worth it!)

@@glendabrown1154 thanks for more info! I never knew some of those details 😁 it's good to know !

@@glendabrown1154 But how do they know what the value of the package is? I live in Denmark, so I know if I buy something from outside the EU, I will get slammed with taxes on the package if its over the value of like $10, so thats basically everything that will get 25% extra price on it. But I honestly dont know how they can see what the value of the item is 🤣🤣 I also thought that Canada and the US had some kind of agreement in trade? Like the EU has. I can buy something from Germany without paying taxes, but not something from the UK anymore 🤣🤣

True

Amen

Canadians like to pronounce the A’s like that! Every time I go back I automatically revert back to pronouncing A’s like that. Instead of saying pasta like “Paw-stuh” it comes out like “pahh-stuh”

I’m curious- how do you know how much work Christine puts into her polish line? I’m not saying you’re wrong but how would you know? (Unless you know her personally or work for the company?) I mean, I’ve heard her talk about how she swatches the colors on her nails - as I’d expect anyone who starts their own nail polish company, to do. I’d also expect her to test the formulas and do wear tests - again - as any cosmetic type company founder would do (I’m sure Manny MUA works on and tests various formulas and shades for his cosmetics, as did Nikki Tutorials with her products and Tati with her vitamins and palette, etc.). It actually seems like perhaps less work for a nail polish company owner than a cosmetic brand owner, when it comes to formulations and trials, as nail polish has a few different items to develop (top coat, jelly, creme, sparkle, metallic formulas…and surely there are similarities across each), whereas Manny tests and approves many different products (eyeshadows and lip products and highlighters and blushes, etc.). Yeah, I’m sure there are owners who choose to be less involved in formulating and mixing up shades, however we - as random people - would have no way of knowing how much time and effort brand creators invest in creating, testing and approving their products. (Unless there’s a personal relationship with the creator and/or company) Simply hearing such creators say things like “I work hard on my products” or “I spend a lot of time creating my products” is what any brand owner would want viewers and customers to believe, and isn’t reliable info. I’ve heard Fiona Frills repeatedly discuss how shes knowledgeable about every ingredient in her Frilliance products and is super involved in formulating, yet any time she tries to speak about skincare and ingredients in general, nearly everything she says is incorrect, and makes it very clear that she is not knowledgeable about skincare ingredients and hasn’t invested her time into doing proper research. She typically makes comments that are giveaways when someone is not knowledgeable like using those nonsense terms “clean” “natural” “no chemicals” etc., in addition to the whole “Frilliance is made for teens and their skin issues”. What does that even mean? Maybe helps with acne issues, which tends to be an issue for many teens? However none of her products contain any active ingredients which have been proven to be effective in battling acne, such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Even tea tree oil isn’t to be found. That leaves a line of cream blush and highlighter, facial mist, lip gloss and maybe a brush - said to focus on the skin issues teens often have to help improve their skin. Call me crazy but I’ve never come across advice from someone knowledge in skin issues who has advised using “creme blush and highlighter, facial mist and lip gloss” as treatment to clear acne…or to improve anyone’s skin ever. That was a rant. However I am very bothered by start a brand and push their products onto customers, all while that owner has put zero effort into learning legitimate facts about what they make, and instead spout baseless nonsense to customers to get them to make purchases. ESPECIALLY when they sell to kids and teens. It’s wrong to tell teens that Frilloance products will help them achieve clear skin - when the products have no active ingredients to be able to treat acne, nor are the product types those that improve skin at all. Applying creme makeup doesn’t treat acne. Lies to kids and teens, all in aims of making money - one of the most dishonorable behaviors in selling beauty and any products.

That's not an accent she is just pronouncing it wrong

ahahah i say everything wrong LOL

@@MiaMaples Aww you’re so sweet!!! idk how anyone could be mean to you!
