I think the "pen erasers" are probably for erasble pens, but like, they come with erasers lol

SHEIN STEALS PEOPLE'S ARTWORK! There is a girl from Pakistan who created a painting, shared it on social media and then Shein copied her artwork like EXACT COPY and sold it on their website. She called them out but sadly, nothing is done against them....yet.

I work at Goodwill and we get a ton of Shein clothes and I hate it. My main problem alongside the problem with fast fashion is they've had their clothes tested several times...and pretty much every time there were products with twice the legal amount of Lead in clothing allowed in The United States.

LOVE that you considered all sides of this and everyone's circumstances! So many KZfaqrs and influencers talk down to people and judge for why people buy cheap, fast fashion without understanding that for some it's not the choice of habitually buying to follow trends, it's neccessity. An honest and refreshing take on Shein (and other companies) ❤❤❤

The erasers should work with Frixion brand pens.

I balance out my use of fast fashion retailers by wearing stuff for years. Don't care if it's out of style, I'm not going to stop wearing it! And if there is stuff I get rid of I take it to charity shops (luckily I live in a place with loads of those) and if it's worn out they can recycle it. I have found some nice things second hand, both in charity shops and on ebay, so I mix those things into my wardrobe.

I wouldn't suggest using the brush cleaner for drying your brushes on the side 13:15 . Drying them like that will make water drip into the farrow and could damage the glue holding the bristles on beneath the metal.

NO WAY I GOT A SHEIN AD RIGHT BEFORE WATCHING THIS 😭

What I found suspicious is that every item has good reviews / stars . One day an item had like lots of 1 star reviews and the other day they all disappeared .. pretty sure they are deleting bad reviews lol

Shein is also a HUGE culprit of stealing small creators art!

I love how she gets so happy about her dog.

Chea is adorable!! She is so tiny and precious!!

the "gel pen erasers" are for those pens that are or are like the "Pilot Frixion Pointball erasable pens" (aka those Pilot pens every school kid had in 2014 because they were "cool" again at that point lmao) it's a bummer that they didn't specify that it was ment for erasable gel ink and not normal gel ink otherwhise it probably wouldve saved Rae a lot of confusion lol

EVERYTHING HAS 5 STARS CAUSE THAT GIVES THE PEOPLE MORE POINTS 😂 Each point equals one penny, and people save up to buy stuff

when she says SHE INNNN gets me everytime 💀

I LOVE your vids. I love how it’s art mixed with review with a slightly mixed in vlog aesthetic

Fast fashion would not be so big if other brands didnt over charge so much for the most basic of necessities when it comes to clothing

Ahhh omg Chia is adorable!!

i really love the way that she adressed sheins fast fashion. it was just a very respectful and socially aware 🙌

The first sticks you used are made for erasable gel pens, they have inks that erase with heat and that’s how they work

In addition to the shein controversy, they are currently one of the only big "retailers" that cater to plus size fashion and clothing for relatively reasonable prices. Plus size women in particular get the scraps when it comes to the fashion industry or are made to dress borderline matronly even while young bc retailers only make clothes that are unflattering and covering up. Even outside of just following trends, Shein is virtually the only place plus size people can realistically find clothes to dress how they want. (Though even that is drawing to a close with how many straight sized and midsized people are buying up plus size shein clothing for the "oversized" looked, so much so that 0x,1x,2x sizing on the site has started to cater to relatively midsized people and fit them better, but that's a whole other issue)

There is another negative aspect to Shein, behind these cheap clothes there is often exploitation, slave labor, and child labor. Behind these cheap cosmetics is the suffering of the animals on which they test them. It is worth bearing in mind.

11:43 just like m- ah never mind 😂

It makes me so happy to see someone else like me ( art supply nerd ) .. to make myself feel better I tell people I collect art supplies... Makes me sound less crazy ....

You want to know why everything is suspiciously 5 stars? They have a wide influencer net where they send free clothes for a 5 star rating. I know a couple of people who do it. THey spend half their day trying on clothes, taking photos and writing reviews, even if they dont like something. Also sometimes the stuff they send the influencers is not the same that they sell, but you got a review of it

I would like to point out that not all of us buy cheap clothes and throw them away in three weeks because of fashion. Some of us buy from places like Shein and wear the clothes until we physically cant anymore. Then what I do ot take the fabric and use it for something else. So, if people took a little personal responsibility sometimes and didnt throw clothes away after three weeks just because the fashion changes and instead wear them until they actually wear out enough to even throw away in the first place, or maybe instead of throwing them away they donate them. Then it would probably be a little more sustainable. And this is not a dog at you Rae I know where you're coming from, I more mean the that the people talking about them like they are a big problem and have all the responsibility, when their shoppers have partial responsibility for not being so wasteful of their clothes. I mean, idk how rough everyone is with their clothes but most of the time if I buy even cheap clothes they last at least a year or two. 🤷‍♀️

OMG, your puppy is so adorable 🥰😍. She looks like my girl Lunar. Lunar is an English Pointer and Labrador mix and she is now 8 years old 🤗.

My dad actually got me the paint pallet bucket cleaner thing from Amazon. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. So I was pleasantly surprised to see it reviewed well from a great artist❤️

I just recently discovered your channel, and let me just say: your art is absolutely amazing! You have a wonderful personality, and are extremely skilled at drawing. You are so inspirational, so I would just like to say thank you! You inspire me to draw more, and to draw better. ❤

I just noticed that you are left-handed too. Idk why but almost all artists are lefty wow!!!❤️

loving the green eyeshadow

Sad you're leaving New Mexico, but glad you're getting out of that PART OF New Mexico. Hopefully the place you're going has more than just a HOLY BOBBY for art supplies!

This ereaser works for gel pens that dissapearing when exposed to heat. The friciton "ereases" this type of ink.

Edward Scissor Hands ,love the drawing so much ♥️

Her puppy is absolutely adorable 😭😭 the second she saw rae her tail started wagging so much!!!

I’m so happy to hear you speak about sustainability. My daughter has been running clothing swaps for 8 years now. She is based out of Thailand because it’s where she happens to live. So happy people in the states are getting on board.

Another reason why Shein is crap and just overall a shady business: They say they don't use child labor but does not the full supply chain disclosure. They also made false statements and some (or maybe all) of their factories are located in the Uyghur region of China where many factories there do forced labor.

I’m pretty sure SHEIN is way better now

The drawing of scissor hand 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 JD love that

Hi Rae! Aside from the fast fashion stuff, Shein also steals. They rip off designs from smaller artists for their clothes. A lot of small fashion designer's work have been outright stolen by Shein and sold for cheap. That's all I wanted to say, thanks so much for this video!! Enjoyed it as usual. Take care! Love you always ❤❤❤

That brush cleaning bucket/palette is for sale on aliexpress for about 3 to 5 dollars lol I'm willing to bet that Shein just buys their stuff on aliexpress and then resells it for more

i watch the whole video the way you talk the edit everything is soooo good ❤️

omg i love her make-up sm

Thank you for talking about Shein controversy in this video. It's a great reminder you put there, also yes, Salem Tovar's video has the best take on the Shein situation. ^^

I completely agree with you about production, but I do have to add that I’ve kept my clothing from shein for years and it still looks good. You have to get used to knowing what to buy and look heavily at reviews. I think shein is great if you take care of your things, and I hope others can become more educated about this. Their production in mass is hurtful to the environment in a lot of ways, but can be reduced by the user

I just wanted to let you know that I am literally binging your videos bc they are so amazing and you are now my new favourite KZfaqr (other than Moriah Elizabeth hehe)

i absolutely love and appreciate the disclaimer

"You make your own fashion" very well said. I have been using some clothes since 2017-18 ig and I love them. And yeah even bought some new recently (which I'm going to wear for 4-5 years lol)

The first "gel pen erasers" are actually for erasable ball point pens. It causes friction and heat which causes the erasable ink to change to clear.

Omg I can't get over your hair😍😍😍😍

Absolutely loving your vids so far :)

4:42 that thing that you use for erasing gel pen is actually for a specific type of gel pen called "Pilot Frixion Ball"

I live in a small town in a 3rd world country and a lot of the online fast fashion debate seems so superficial to me because it's mostly privileged people trying to give alternatives that are only possible in their reality. There aren't any thrift stores where I live and I'd rather buy three fast fashion t-shirts that are going to last for years bc they will cost me as much as the shipping for one t-shirt from a local ethically made brand. It's important to understand that most of the clothes we all wear are made that way. Yes, even if it's high quality. Boycotting a handful of online stores is not gonna change anything, the focus should be on how the internet has made consumerism look even more desirable and how influencer culture creates "trends" that don't even reach real life people before going away. The influencers who rely on making clothing/makeup hauls for a living either make the money back or don't even pay for the products to begin with. The strawberry dress (even though the original is not from a fast fashion brand) and ball gown hauls are two examples of unnecessary consumerism that really intrigue me. Also, most of the people who can only afford fast fashion are not just throwing away their clothes once they stop being trendy and aren't getting their everyday clothes from places like Shein or Zara. There's no problem in buying clothes just because you think they look cool, as long as you're actually going to wear them in the future.

I just fell in love with your videos today and had to subscribe

5:34 it works but on pens that are made for it :D

The pallete cleaner is a game changer. I loves seeing your new puppy! And yes, Empty house and studio tour please!

2:07. I'm pausing the video here to say one thing about the statement made at about this point in the video. You see, a lot of influencers who are promoting "green living" like to push the idea that you vote with your dollar - you only buy from businesses that are "green". You only fund companies that are doing the "best" for the environment. This is really hard to do if you don't have a lot of money - at least in my local area a product is labelled as "environmentally friendly" and suddenly the price doubles. Its important to acknowledge that not everyone can afford to look somewhere else, and may be forced to turn to places like Shein just to afford the basics when it comes to clothing. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but thrift shops (or what I have always known as second-hand stores) are super expensive in my area. The same leggings I can get for $6 a piece in the supermarket are $12, or sometimes higher in these stores that are supposed to have better prices.

I think the first one is for pens that have erasable ink, though they usually come with their own rubby thing

I'm pretty sure the erasers for gel pen 5:25 are ones for Erasible pen because it looks like the backs of mine

It seems like the first item can only work with those friction erase pens. Those pens also have a gummy erasure to erase the ink.

This is actually a phenomenal way to explain why cheap spending is not worth it without making people feel pushed into anything. Its a real experience, and advice that is helpful without making others hear they are doing bad or need to choose better or else. Its refreshing and more valuable then many intentions articulate

LOVE ur makeup!

you are so pretty girlll!! 😊

"What is fast fashion?" "Have you seen The Lorax? It's that."

Love you Rae, always a great time when you post. Also agreed, fast fashion/companies need to be stopped. Well done you for sticking to your morals ♡

You are an AMAZING artist. WOW…just WOW ❤❤❤

The paint saver is what I'd call the palette or portable palette, it's only like 7 on Amazon. Got one for my daughter for this Christmas

Rae: 12:46 " little bit of yellow" Brown: It's brutal out here😔

Chia is absolutely precious! Also I have to say I absolutely love your art Rae. It's amazing that you work so hard for all of us! Love your content,your art and just everything! Edit- Also I had dropped drawing as no one really cared about it or anything but you've inspired me to start over❤️

11:43 LMAO RAE! Also, Chia is adorable

Thanks for the introduction ❤❤

Ok disclaimer, I have never purchased from shein. Although after this video I think that the company is kind of a manipulative company. Here me out how are they making horrible quality products that catch the eye of those who want to be “popular.” Which is probably run by people who know that people can be self conscious and worried about how they look and are trying to fit in by buying popular products to hopefully feel better about themselves. And they somehow come with thousands of wonderful reviews. It don’t work like dat!

Who else watches Rae because she is funny and lovable?? I found your channel a couple months ago and I can’t stop binge watching every video!! 😁 Keep up the good work!☺️

great review! loved all the products. shein seems like a great company. thanks for your excellent opinion. gonna buy everything you used in your video :)) you go gurl!!!!

You're new puppy is soooo cute💖

Another reason I dont support Shein,besides the cheap quality fast fashion issue, is that every week I see more and more artits about how their art is being stolen and printed on shirts or stolen for enamel pins.

I’ve been watching your channel for a couple years now and you have motivated me to keep going. The progress you have made with your art is amazing, you are such a big inspiration

Hi im new here but im so excited to have found your channel! ❤❤❤

i love shein!🥹

I just had a feeling she might have a new video and decided to see what she's up to.... I literally saw she just uploaded when i checked it out. Im so glad and i cant wait to watch it😍😍🤩🤩😊😊☺️☺️🥰🥰😘😘🥳🥳

you left out the most important problem with shein 😭 THEY LITTERALLY DO CHILD LABOUR

Loved your pic of Edward Scissorhands! Talent that brings joy!

Kudos for calling out Shien as n to just being cheap and nasty but AWFUL for the environment. I see so many haul and react videos that don’t acknowledge or address it, and in fact just perpetuates more Shien buying with more hauls or reacts. 🙌🏼 And shame about scratch pad missing, immediate happy childhood memories!!!

I recently discovered your videos and am going through them all. I love your style and your art and the way your videos are put together and are edited. I love you. Thanks for what you do! Keep it up girl.

Lol your mannerisms are so cute, this vid was very interesting! Had no idea Shein had art supplies. Also so glad you talked about the awareness we need to have about fast fashion.

chia is sooo CUTE!

Congrats!! Yaay

The all-in-one paint bucket thing is rad. But that's also.... kind of pricey. I got one at a local art supply warehouse for about $6

POV: you're finding out how Shein is pronounced for the first time in your life

Thank you for the PSA. I really appreciate that

8:45 that looks like the extremely thin paper you can get massive rolls of for pretty cheap. Even standard printing paper is thicker than that (where I live, cheap printing paper is 80gsm)

My style has been described as "Comfortable Business Goth" and y'know, I'm not mad about it lol. Dress in what makes you happy!

The “this is really thick?! Just like me- ahh nevermind…” got me dying 😭

The puppy surprise was the best part 😂❤

I love your hair, it looks so awesome.

We stan a creator with integrity! Thank you SO MUCH for talking about how problematic sites like Shein are and taking a stand by pledging not to buy from them or do these videos anymore. I usually make a point to not even watch videos about Shein, Wish, Romwe, etc. hauls, but I love your videos so I made an exception with this one and I'm glad I did. Keep up the great work, Rae!🖤

You're such an amazing artist plus you're real and gorgeous you can't get any better than Rae I swear it!

Subscribed because I find your reviews about art supplies interesting. I'm also very picky if it comes to art supplies on the internet and mostly buy them at a physcial store. I wonder what you think about art supplies that you can get on wish. I kinda bought art supplies multiple times from there but its also at your own risk because I had like gel pens which stopped working after a month.

You’re CRAZY talented

Girl, you can make absolutely amazing art in the most trash of materials - you're an incredible artist! Thank you for the review...it's always nice to be able to find art supplies at a steal of a price but it's really only a steal if it's worth it, not if you have to toss it in the trash.
