The blush girl doing all that research only _after_ already promoting the brand is so funny. So you're capable of looking in to whether or not brands are safe and legit, but only when the threat of such impacts you personally 💀
what i assumed happened is that she posted the initial video and then someone informed her the product was on Alibaba, or someone suggested that they may not be an American company. because it wasn’t until after her initial video that they reached out and she realized they wouldn’t FaceTime, so before she worked with them, it might’ve not raised any flags
I appreciate that you addressed the full tiktok things, though it was actually good to get full context, at the very least now we’re able to see that you don’t come up with super wild conclusions from tiny clips.
Aliexpress and Alibaba actually sometimes steal from brands. My husband owns his own brand, and he has had his design stolen and attempted to be “sold” on Alibaba, he had to contact the sellers and ask them to remove it, because it’s theft! Not saying that’s the case here, but I would be pissed if someone thought my husbands design wasn’t his own just because Alibaba stole it and was selling it
I just want to clarify that it isn't AliExpress or Alibaba who steal from brands, it is individual sellers on there. That's like saying eBay steals when a seller sells a knock-off, it's on their platform and I think they should be more responsible but they aren't the ones who took the bad action and are lying to potential customers. I think in general platforms need to crack down on not just counterfeit products but ones deliberately sold as being the real thing. People stealing other people's art is a huge problem and it is on the poor real creator to get the scammers to remove the items or take legal action to force them. With technological advancements I don't see why improvements can't be made to review a claim of some copying a design, or to flag possible counterfeits.
I don't ever look at tiktoks or Short Form content and think'i should buy this'', even if the product is not bad, they just sensationalise everything. ''best blush'' ''best lip gloss'' when you actually get them, and they all feel the same...
the only time I actually bought stuff due to a TikTok was makeup, and it wasn't even sponsored or anything, just a makeup tutorial as I was trying makeup for the first time and needed stuff urgently.
not all makeup is the same, but I see what you mean. most TikToks don’t have two things that any good “review” requires: credibility and context. most of the time when you are just scrolling on TikTok, the (most likely ad) videos that you see are not necessarily from people you can automatically trust, and there certainly is not enough time to add proper context about the product. to be fair though, instagram and a lot of other platforms can be the same way… and I for one am definitely guilty of being influenced by instagram 🙊
I do think that Matthew should let it go....but at the same time, I don't fault him for being upset at her. And if bringing her up makes his brand money....so be it. Makayla takes advantage of her following all the time to make herself money. And she does it so blatantly. So if somene make bank off her....oh well😂
We are all human and mistakes happen! We appreciate that you took the time to address the situation and apologize for it- which I don’t think it was all that bad and it’s not something you normally do anyways. You’re doing great! Love your videos 🫶
bruh i didn't even notice anything was different with the last one, didn't realise there was drama, to me it felt well put together and all the clips felt relevant and necessary as always 🤷🏼♀
I really appreciate you addressing the previous video. As others have said, it wasn't the fact that you had tiktoks in it, but the fact that it felt like half of the video was them and I personally lost interest on the topic. But this one flowed a lot smoother!
Hi, I'm an IP lawyer who does influencer agreements for brands. All of our contracts contain a clause that says that all content must follow all advertising guidelines, regulations, etc, applicable to the influencer's engagement by the brand, and all content needs to be reviewed for approval by the brand prior to publication on social media. In my opinion, a lot of brands have these clauses in place but are choosing to let the non-disclosures slide (because it benefits them) on the basis that they can always go after the influencer if they get into trouble because the contract makes it the influencer's responsibility.
Hi! Also IP lawyer here (but more on the patent prosecution side so feel free to correct me if you have more experience in federal litigation). I think this would still be a problem for the brands if the feds come knocking even if they can blame the influencers. Generally there would be evidence that the brands knew or should have known that their products were being advertised unlawfully, thereby making them at fault contributorily. Do you see what I’m saying?
@@elizabuga4337 Hi, yes I'm not saying that the brands couldn't still be held liable, but the risk of getting in trouble doesn't outweigh the potential benefit of non-disclosure, particularly if the influencer owes the brand for any costs or penalties incurred by the brand as a result of the influencer's non-disclosure, under indemnity.
@@buriburi4087 that’s true, you’re right. It’s unfortunate how often this occurs in many industries. Med mal is rife with it; hospitals will not change their procedures that injure patients because the cost of improving care is higher than that of paying for the occasional wrongful death/med mal settlement. What you’re describing is much less serious, but an unfortunate and similar business strategy.
@@elizabuga4337 it's very frustrating because the penalties aren't great enough, or enforced often enough, to achieve the consumer protection goals of the regulations. It's the same almost everywhere (except perhaps in the EU?)
Omg girl do you realize at the end of your video when you were talking about glamzilla and mikayla cross partnering you called her godzilla lmfao I’m dead ☠️
I tried the illusion bronze tan and as an olive toned person it looked really good and not yellow/green. The drama was pretty dumb but I wouldn’t have tried it if he hadn’t complained about Mikayla 😂
I know that SophDoesLife she once said that a brand have asked her to make the AD sign smaller n she was like no way! She is the best ❤❤ love your videos too hun xxx
Nothing at all is authentic anymore if everyone is just trying to sell sell sell. The whole reason people loved TH-cam and the internet beauty was because we felt like REAL people were showing things in a REAL way. Now it’s just all commercials without professional actors and professional cameras on the computer rather than TV.
Good point, commercials without professional actors is the perfect description. I don't understand why anyone would believe or find it entertaining to watch their bad acting while they pretend to love everything they are paid to promote. It's not even just them pretending to have fun, it's over the top and with bad intent for them to financially benefit.
Now that you mentioned it I remember thinking the clips were long but it was a lot of info so I assumed you were giving us the fullest story 😭 you really don't have to feel guilty, it's a TH-cam video anyone who takes it that serious isn't someone you want watching you anyways. 💖
I feel like the brands commenting under the tik toks is interesting because on one hand you can say that the social media employee writing those comments isn't part of the legal team that understands all the guidelines. But really, all these companies should have good enough communication between departments that all of this is understood and checked through
One of my favorite makeup content type creators talked about one of her Tik Toks but in a positive way and I was floored. I don't care who you are or how famous you are you should be able to recognize and call out a liar.
The same reason all these idiots get money, they’re entertaining. I don’t understand why out of countless amount of these individuals (not just in beauty community) mikayla chick gets the brute of the hatred, honestly no one is getting hurt and people know when they’re being advertised to, so who cares? I guess bc it’s fun to hate and critique
speaking of Mikayla, I met a Boston man a few days ago and now I fully understand what people meant by exaggerated accent, people don't speak like that 😩
Yeah even so like regardless of how people dislike that girl she isn’t obligated to promote his brand, honestly influencer problems i swear 🤦♀️instantly disliked him with that entitlement just as entitled as her
I thought it was weird the clips were so long but I figured you were just busy or going through something so I didn't put too much thought into it. I think all of us that watch you a lot know that's not typical content. 🥰
i love your content, no worries on any mistakes! i was a bit confused when i saw the last video with the length of the clips but to be honest i dont think i wouldve even thought much about it until you mentioned it. tbh im just happy to see one of my favorite channels is still posting
3:15 when u need a break you need a break! It’s ok if there’s jumps in the video! ❤❤ as a artist myself sometimes it’s best not only for the quality of your art (videos) but for your mental state. Just post a community note and if people have a problem with it *womp womp* 😂
what i appreciate about you so much is the ability to take accountability. you clearly have your own opinions and are authentic but at the same time are quick to admit to any mistakes, however little they are, it's really cool off topic: i love your nails!
Thank you for sharing how the incentives work for these creators. I feel quite naive for not knowing how the payment process for reviews works. I wish more people covered this to understand that reviews shouldn’t be interpreted as truthful usage.
I noticed that it seemed like more OG assets than normal, but thought it was a judgement call bc you thought it was relevant, and that girl was on a roll! You addressing it, now? Fan for life, you are probably holding yourself to higher account than necessary, but so much respect. Love your content and always look forward to seeing you in my notifications ❤
you uploading a slightly less edited video bc there’s longer clips is nothing to apologize for. you didn’t do anything wrong lol. love your commentary always! people’s expectations are crazy when people are out here actually being problematic.
Its kind of a new form of bribery. Influencer teases brand with their willingness to be bought by mentioning the brand. The brand then reaches out to the influencer with grifts , I mean gifts and money, because that's the way to get an unbiased opinion right? Then the influencer does a hard sell to their followers possibly earning a commission 🤔 for that " unbiased opinion " making mega sales without full disclosure . Huh, maybe its just a shit pile of lies. Governing bodies need to do more.
I don’t feel like anyone was upset just voicing their opinions. You are good at what you do but you make mistakes like everyone. The tik tok video was definitely not the problem just needed more commentary thrown in. Good job Angelika
I watched that guy/girl Mikeayla's videos and I felt like they were all just commercials. I even asked for help in the comments because I want to learn how to wear makeup but he hasn't commented back.
I can't do it with the fake tan guy anymore. He's going to end up tanking any potential future for his brand because he'll just be known as this petty drama hound. There's honestly a point where it stops being commentary and starts being harassment. Watching her unboxing videos and setting calendar notifications to check every video since to see whether she uses the product is borderline stalker behavior. It doesn't matter if he has a point about her sponsorships, he's taking his vendetta too far
Does anyone watch Glamzilla or Mikayla and think they are NOT watching an ad? I just assume anything they “like/love” is just a paid ad. I hate ads so I scroll right past any of that kind of content.
Thank you for acknowledging the weirdness in the last video. I did find it bizarre,because you usually comment in between,but the whole length clips felt like they were dragging on.
It’s always been the case that if a creator gets done by the FTC so will the brand. Both get done for every link & every product not disclosed is a seperate fine for both. PR has a financial value therefore that must be disclosed also. The paid ad is a tool or prompt, not a disclaimer as such. The disclaimer at bottom of video is also not acceptable- they know all this they just think we are all stupid & they are untouchable.
Mikayla deserves to be called out by Matthew and anyone else. She promised him she would post a review and never delivered. But she has time to post why she didn’t review his product. She’s is not a real makeup artist, nor is she certified in Massachusetts (hence why her only videos of her doing someone else’s makeup is her mother and “husband.”)
I don't fully agree with the "just leave it". Just because a few weeks have passed doesn't mean one will be over the issue, especially when the whole basis for infouencers is their word. And the fact that there are never consequences for her must be very annoying.
I genuinely didn’t even realise that anything was wrong, nor did I realise that there was drama. I can’t imagine getting mad over you including full tiktoks 💀
Manufacturing is difficult to prove, our company disclosures often say “made in NZ with at least 90% local ingredients” so it could be something to do with the way they’re not required to specify correctly. It’s all about wording. You can see who owns the brand with the barcode number, but that also isn’t foolproof. It also could be the bottle is manufactured in China and the product is made in America, and they’re not required by law to specify?
Just saw Mik has a billboard in Times Square- shocker , it’s sponsored by Kosas lol! Above Sephora Times Square- she’s collaborated w/several Sephora brands! Her GRWM vid she uses Kosas and Glow Recipe, both brands she’s collab with- in her GRWM vid she said she forgot a sponge- hello, Duane Reade- perhaps Duane Reade didn’t offer her a brand deal so she didn’t go there to buy a sponge 🧐
I completely agree with Illusion Bronze making it worse - if he hasn't moved on, he isn't making it seem professional - and that he did entirely hope that she'd do him the big favour (when... she didn't OWE him that) and he keeps positioning that he's a poor small business but dude, you're one of MANY. In a saturated market.
I honestly love when you do longer content that is more in depth. But I feel you on the brain haze. I have fibromyalgia and stress has really put me in a fog. I studded and forget simple words. I think I’m stuck scratching my brain trying to remember what it is I was about to do vs doing said task
So glad to learn about this natural deodorant 😁 I’m just now experiencing allergies to normal, store bought deodorant, and I didn’t know which of the natural ones would actually work. Can’t wait to try this one!
Wait ppl seriously had that big of an issue? Girlll you are human and things happen lol but it’s good you addressed it since clearly ppl did have issues with it lol. Much love ❤
hope everyone that was bitching about long tiktok clips apologizes now. its not a typical thing she does and i myself kinda figured she was busy with life things and still wanted to make content for ungrateful followers so they had something to watch for the day. gathering info, filming and editing constantly to stay on relevant topics and still deal with stuff going on in life isn't easy and if whiners think a creator is 'falling off', maybe try it yourself before u start acting like someone isn't putting their all towards trying to make consistent quality content for strangers on the internet.
i also feel horrible that someone has to come on here and APOLOGIZE to these annoying people for having a life outside of a job... like ur totally fine girlie some of us are understanding about things weighing u down when life gets complicated and it taking a mental toll with job stuff. pls make sure to take care of urself first and foremost
The time period of which blush girl calling out the company for allegedly lying makes me feel icky. She was promoting/hyping the item initially and only brought up the china manufacturer after them not paying her. It just seemed like if they were to pay her her dime, she wldn't have even brought it up.
I honestly liked the last video, I feel like I got a lot of back story that I hadn't seen yet. But your "apology" was adorable 🤭 I love your stuff. Try not to be so hard on yourself to put so much out (even though I want more!)
I did notice the tiktok vids were taking a little long but assumed it was probably an editing mistake, not surprised it was, been there 😅 but it's nice of you to address it besides reuploading the new edit, it's not a huge deal but feels like there’s some feedback between creator and followers
It's good to acknowledge it, because honestly if it was just ignored I probably would stop watching all together. I like watching tik tok drama but I don't want to listen to all of those tik tokers. Idk what it is about the way they perform for the camera it just grates my nerves. You're much more pleasant to listen to over them lmao.
Loved this video Angelika! And we appreciate you addressing the previous video and comments ❤ brain fog is REAL! this is the exact kind of integrity I look for in the youtubers i watch, and it is good to see you take on the criticism to keep the quality 🥰
This is one reason I kind of stepped away from TikTok because of how much stuff is ad content but not ad content. It’s boring and I am just over it. If it’s not ads it’s dances or someone’s drama. I literally have enough drama in my own life I don’t need anyone else’s. I also don’t come online to see ads. This should be said more and I agree anytime I see videos that are clearly ads and they don’t disclose it I just report it. Worst they get fined, and if it’s not an ad then they can provide that info and get let off.
It may have been a paid ad, but that cover fx foundation really does look so good, I kinda do want to try it and seeing her do the basic finger dip and dap method and it working as concealer kind of convinced me to try
i find it funny how people always bring out the pitchforks for mikayla putting the “partner” at the end of the caption, yet SO MANY other influencers do it too yet everyone cheers them on telling them to get their bag.. one example is Jordan, her partnership with Morphe is at the end of the caption yet not one single comment about it. If y’all are gonna be haters at least be consistent with what you stand for. don’t cancel one, yet praise another for doing the same exact thing.
Being a TikTok creator is a whole nother world, the algorithm is wild over there. I’ve taken to putting ‘link in bio’ on a board in the background because if you SAY the words, TikTok clubs your content.
Not trying to defend the brands, but most of the comments that brands give are usually from social media interns / a social media account manager and may not know that the videos are filmed wrong and are probably just trying to engages as part of their job. (Ex: A bunch of people were commenting on the choices app’s TikTok to ask questions and the girl was saying “guys I’m just the social media girl, I don’t know.”) It’s likely the higher ups who aren’t doing their due diligence, so social media comments might not necessarily mean anything. I feel like I’m not making any sense but 😭
I like the she addressed her audience sincerely and respectfully and wasn’t a bitch about it like most content creators whose number one response to correction and constructive criticism is “well then don’t watch. Well then keep scrolling!” Made me subscribe 😊
I think when tiktok shops promotes your video they can change the link on your yellow basket and change it to theirs so you won't get the sale but rather it directly goes to the shop. No matter how many views or sale the product gets, if it bypasses your account, you won't get a commission.
(for others: video starts at 6:30) I absolutely love your content and this isn’t hate, I just want to say that imho the explanation part was a lot longer than it needed to be ironically enough 😭 it might’ve just felt that way to me tho
Rachel loves dinner review of that fake tan stuff she loved it. She said it worked really well it worked better for her undertone of her skin and she loves Bond eye sands fake tan

Aliexpress and Alibaba actually sometimes steal from brands. My husband owns his own brand, and he has had his design stolen and attempted to be “sold” on Alibaba, he had to contact the sellers and ask them to remove it, because it’s theft!

Most TikTok shops are just drop shipping Alibaba, wish, Temu and other Chinese brands

- and i thought that was a bit drastic measure. since if they just wait until the next video she was probably gonna adress it and explain, and she did
People were going in hard.
I looovveee the long videos!
thank you 🫶🏻
I watched that guy/girl Mikeayla's videos and I felt like they were all just commercials. I even asked for help in the comments because I want to learn how to wear makeup but he hasn't commented back.
we would be nothing without some mikayla-drama 🤧
It’s good to see someone being honest about brands, products & how the whole thing works & calling out those who don’t. Good 2 see
I can't do it with the fake tan guy anymore. He's going to end up tanking any potential future for his brand because he'll just be known as this petty drama hound. There's honestly a point where it stops being commentary and starts being harassment. Watching her unboxing videos and setting calendar notifications to check every video since to see whether she uses the product is borderline stalker behavior. It doesn't matter if he has a point about her sponsorships, he's taking his vendetta too far
Book review I really want to know about what's books are on your shelf.
Team book nerd!!!
I appreciate you for addressing the situation! We still like your content and appreciate the comprehensive information you bring to us.
Thank you for fixing this ❤
Does anyone watch Glamzilla or Mikayla and think they are NOT watching an ad? I just assume anything they “like/love” is just a paid ad. I hate ads so I scroll right past any of that kind of content.
Thank you for acknowledging the weirdness in the last video. I did find it bizarre,because you usually comment in between,but the whole length clips felt like they were dragging on.
I mean i do associate fake tan with drama from high school
It’s always been the case that if a creator gets done by the FTC so will the brand. Both get done for every link & every product not disclosed is a seperate fine for both. PR has a financial value therefore that must be disclosed also. The paid ad is a tool or prompt, not a disclaimer as such. The disclaimer at bottom of video is also not acceptable- they know all this they just think we are all stupid & they are untouchable.
Mikayla deserves to be called out by Matthew and anyone else. She promised him she would post a review and never delivered. But she has time to post why she didn’t review his product. She’s is not a real makeup artist, nor is she certified in Massachusetts (hence why her only videos of her doing someone else’s makeup is her mother and “husband.”)
I don't fully agree with the "just leave it". Just because a few weeks have passed doesn't mean one will be over the issue, especially when the whole basis for infouencers is their word. And the fact that there are never consequences for her must be very annoying.
I genuinely didn’t even realise that anything was wrong, nor did I realise that there was drama. I can’t imagine getting mad over you including full tiktoks 💀
Manufacturing is difficult to prove, our company disclosures often say “made in NZ with at least 90% local ingredients” so it could be something to do with the way they’re not required to specify correctly. It’s all about wording. You can see who owns the brand with the barcode number, but that also isn’t foolproof. It also could be the bottle is manufactured in China and the product is made in America, and they’re not required by law to specify?
Your gold makeup is stunning! Your eyeshadow matches your lipgloss perfectly
I was sure that last video was a just honest mistake. Thank you for confirming my suspicion!
Just saw Mik has a billboard in Times Square- shocker , it’s sponsored by Kosas lol! Above Sephora Times Square- she’s collaborated w/several Sephora brands! Her GRWM vid she uses Kosas and Glow Recipe, both brands she’s collab with- in her GRWM vid she said she forgot a sponge- hello, Duane Reade- perhaps Duane Reade didn’t offer her a brand deal so she didn’t go there to buy a sponge 🧐
I completely agree with Illusion Bronze making it worse - if he hasn't moved on, he isn't making it seem professional - and that he did entirely hope that she'd do him the big favour (when... she didn't OWE him that) and he keeps positioning that he's a poor small business but dude, you're one of MANY. In a saturated market.
I honestly love when you do longer content that is more in depth. But I feel you on the brain haze. I have fibromyalgia and stress has really put me in a fog. I studded and forget simple words. I think I’m stuck scratching my brain trying to remember what it is I was about to do vs doing said task
So glad to learn about this natural deodorant 😁 I’m just now experiencing allergies to normal, store bought deodorant, and I didn’t know which of the natural ones would actually work. Can’t wait to try this one!
Wait ppl seriously had that big of an issue? Girlll you are human and things happen lol but it’s good you addressed it since clearly ppl did have issues with it lol. Much love ❤
I am so sick of Glamzilla fr
I agree, I don't like how she runs her account.. just my opinion.
"scan this very handy scan thing" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
hope everyone that was bitching about long tiktok clips apologizes now. its not a typical thing she does and i myself kinda figured she was busy with life things and still wanted to make content for ungrateful followers so they had something to watch for the day. gathering info, filming and editing constantly to stay on relevant topics and still deal with stuff going on in life isn't easy and if whiners think a creator is 'falling off', maybe try it yourself before u start acting like someone isn't putting their all towards trying to make consistent quality content for strangers on the internet.
i also feel horrible that someone has to come on here and APOLOGIZE to these annoying people for having a life outside of a job... like ur totally fine girlie some of us are understanding about things weighing u down when life gets complicated and it taking a mental toll with job stuff. pls make sure to take care of urself first and foremost
The time period of which blush girl calling out the company for allegedly lying makes me feel icky. She was promoting/hyping the item initially and only brought up the china manufacturer after them not paying her. It just seemed like if they were to pay her her dime, she wldn't have even brought it up.
I do wonder with Mikayla why she is not getting in any trouble with these brands.
Matthew Steven’s actually does talk about drama like todrick hall and the kardashians on his page, it’s just that his content isn’t only drama
I honestly liked the last video, I feel like I got a lot of back story that I hadn't seen yet. But your "apology" was adorable 🤭 I love your stuff. Try not to be so hard on yourself to put so much out (even though I want more!)
love you Angelika, sh*t happens and the brain fog is so real
The sooner TikTok is banned, the sooner mikayla will fade into obscurity and we never have to hear her Roz from Monsters Inc impression again.
I did notice the tiktok vids were taking a little long but assumed it was probably an editing mistake, not surprised it was, been there 😅 but it's nice of you to address it besides reuploading the new edit, it's not a huge deal but feels like there’s some feedback between creator and followers
It's good to acknowledge it, because honestly if it was just ignored I probably would stop watching all together. I like watching tik tok drama but I don't want to listen to all of those tik tokers. Idk what it is about the way they perform for the camera it just grates my nerves. You're much more pleasant to listen to over them lmao.
i dont mind the tiktoks, i dont watch any of the creators you talk about so it makes sense for me for the clips to be on the video!!
Loved this video Angelika! And we appreciate you addressing the previous video and comments ❤ brain fog is REAL! this is the exact kind of integrity I look for in the youtubers i watch, and it is good to see you take on the criticism to keep the quality 🥰
I love the transparency but you did not owe us all of that youre ok breathe
This is one reason I kind of stepped away from TikTok because of how much stuff is ad content but not ad content. It’s boring and I am just over it. If it’s not ads it’s dances or someone’s drama. I literally have enough drama in my own life I don’t need anyone else’s. I also don’t come online to see ads. This should be said more and I agree anytime I see videos that are clearly ads and they don’t disclose it I just report it. Worst they get fined, and if it’s not an ad then they can provide that info and get let off.
I’m so burned out on the social media influencer “lifestyles” that I have a hard time finding empathy for creators who didn’t get paid for things.
Idc about the technicalities, mikayla sucks in more way than 1 and I'll always defend people who are wronged by her
It may have been a paid ad, but that cover fx foundation really does look so good, I kinda do want to try it and seeing her do the basic finger dip and dap method and it working as concealer kind of convinced me to try
Ok facts, Kimchi Beauty is FRIGGEN AMAZING!! The best eyelashes, the most amazing glitter gel ive ever used!! Obsessed with Kimchi.
I LOVE your lip product! What are you wearing?
Ur like the batman of TH-cam! ❤ make those crooks accountable!!
i find it funny how people always bring out the pitchforks for mikayla putting the “partner” at the end of the caption, yet SO MANY other influencers do it too yet everyone cheers them on telling them to get their bag.. one example is Jordan, her partnership with Morphe is at the end of the caption yet not one single comment about it. If y’all are gonna be haters at least be consistent with what you stand for. don’t cancel one, yet praise another for doing the same exact thing.
I switched to wild because of you! And I love it! So does my husband it's curred his patchy dry itchy underarms
Being a TikTok creator is a whole nother world, the algorithm is wild over there. I’ve taken to putting ‘link in bio’ on a board in the background because if you SAY the words, TikTok clubs your content.
Not trying to defend the brands, but most of the comments that brands give are usually from social media interns / a social media account manager and may not know that the videos are filmed wrong and are probably just trying to engages as part of their job. (Ex: A bunch of people were commenting on the choices app’s TikTok to ask questions and the girl was saying “guys I’m just the social media girl, I don’t know.”) It’s likely the higher ups who aren’t doing their due diligence, so social media comments might not necessarily mean anything. I feel like I’m not making any sense but 😭
This was way easier for my brain to follow! ❤
MIKAYLA’S INTEGRITY IS AS BAD AS HER “ACCENT”…
Ive been rewatching your vids sm theyre so easy to listen to and watch, so glad i got here early 🫡🫡
I like the she addressed her audience sincerely and respectfully and wasn’t a bitch about it like most content creators whose number one response to correction and constructive criticism is “well then don’t watch. Well then keep scrolling!”
Made me subscribe 😊
a lot of channels put full length tik toks on purpose girl ur totally fine
I think when tiktok shops promotes your video they can change the link on your yellow basket and change it to theirs so you won't get the sale but rather it directly goes to the shop. No matter how many views or sale the product gets, if it bypasses your account, you won't get a commission.
Nobody's perfect but you can do no wrong we love you ❤
We don't deserve you Angelika ❤
not to be a bad person but i have no issue with this man stayin salty. we do NOT need to forgive or forget, stay mad
you have a whole ds collection? love to see more of that
(for others: video starts at 6:30)
I absolutely love your content and this isn’t hate, I just want to say that imho the explanation part was a lot longer than it needed to be ironically enough 😭 it might’ve just felt that way to me tho
Rachel loves dinner review of that fake tan stuff she loved it. She said it worked really well it worked better for her undertone of her skin and she loves Bond eye sands fake tan
