- Have you been to a Sephora lately? Well, if you answered yes, you’ve likely noticed one major difference . . . say, the mini-shoppers. They've got the internet up in flames. What is going on?

This is 1000% a parental problem. Starts at home. Period.
I'm childless myself, but it looks like parenting these days is pretty rough! When WASN'T it like that??
@@Jasmine215100 it wasn't as rough to parent in the pre-industrialized age as most families lived in more community based settings, so there would be several generations together all pitching in to help with childcare, the house, cooking, farming, whatever they were doing, this is a modern day problem, especially as capitalism draws parents away from the home to second, third, fourth jobs
exactly, my daughter is around this age and doesn’t even know what sephora is.
She’s all about target and the sun store aka walmart ❤
@@jessicadrury5450 Kids have always had to deal with some sort of peer pressure though!
@@Jasmine215100 I didn't say they didn't, I said it was easier to parent when humans were more communal
Last I checked, Claire’s is still open, cartoons are still on and parks still exist. Friendship bracelets can be made, slumber parties are free. Why arent these parents enriching their children’s lives more than just allowing them to watch tik tok? Parents have to parent regardless of what is or isn’t available.
That’s what I was about to say they are all still open they aren’t losing business because of anything but parents not taking their Children and letting them watch TikTok I woulda got in so much trouble if my mother knew I went into even the front half of Spencer’s before i was 13 what happened to teens going to Arden? What happened to suprise bags all the way up till that age bc of the jewelry ones they had there ugh good times they missing out more than anything
Because their kids are not interested in that probably. I’m sure they all wana do what their friends are doing. :/
I'm 24 and I still go to Claire's 🙂
Have you forgotten that they found asbestos on Claire's makeup.
@@Ana.luiza11Claire’s sell other things than makeup
the skincare smoothie thing is literally just "making potions" but in sephora instead of in the garden/woods
Stump potions is far superior
I used to do something similar what I was a kid. But I did it with stuff I found around the house, not in the store. And I didn't put the results on my skin.
Honestly, I thought I was doing chemistry and was disappointed that I didn't get bubbling reactions. The stuff just sat there in the sink...
@@noppornwongrassamee8941 I remember making "potions" as a kid too lol 😄. But like you as well the thought of putting the end results on my face never once crossed my mind 😅. As for my skincare routine back then it was basically nonexistent beyond just some simple flavored lip balm.
At least in the garden and woods, no one is buying the potion and getting a tampered with product.
OMG I REMEMBER THOSE!!!
As a 13 year old, I can’t believe how many people my age or younger have such little respect for the people and products around them. I can’t tell whether it’s the internet, the parenting, or both. I’m scared to go to malls now
yeah same my skincare still is water soap and sometimes dirt if my clumsiness made me fall
I sincerely hope more kids turn out like you. You refreshingly sound very mature, this is seemingly lost on a lot of young people nowadays it's actually scary.
Fr it’s actually crazy, I only have cleanser (and stuff for spots cause acne), and I don’t even use it half of the time 😂 plus, what would you even want half of these things for omg 😭 I go around town/ shopping with my friends every week (nothing else to do ngl) and how do these people afford this stuff???? And why would anyone even be that rude to people/ staff for no reason???? I don’t understand them at all 😂
Things weren’t nearly as crazy when I was a kid, but there were some places. Regardless, I felt sorta similarly as a kid about the lack of respect for others things and self conduct in a store. I have never done anything like this. The worst I did as a really young child (like 4) was run off and hid under clothing racks but I never destroyed anything or messed things up.
I hope there’s more kids like you out there than the kids doing this stuff. Unfortunately it always seems to be a small minority that tends to be the loudest.
I worked at Sephora from 2006-2009, and it was NEVER like this. 😳😳 I did have the rare kid act a fool, but since it wasn’t my primary job, I had no problem making kids clean up their messes, even while their parents fumed. Only happened a few times thankfully, and adults who brought in their pets who then crapped on our floors were worse. God, I see why I didn’t go back 😂
My daughter is 11. She’s asked for skin care and a Stanley cup. I said no, you don’t need those. And that was the end of it. Told her we would research products when she’s older. 🤷🏽♀️ I also don’t allow her on social media
🎉🎉🎉🎉 Tell her they have lead in those cups anyways!
You're a great example of a good parent and you're 100% right, no child needs those things especially since those products can be harmful and the Stanley cups also could be dangerous since they contain lead.
Edit: Correction, they have lead on the bottom of the cups which can still be harmful.
Kids don't care about lead@@blueeyedscorpio7
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I can only imagine your daughter is going to grow up well-adjusted and completely capable of being able to be told "no" and not have a nuclear meltdown. From one parent to another (my son is 17), i deeply appreciate you ❤
Smart momma
I 100% blame the parents for not monitoring what their kids watch. This makes me sad for these kids.
everything they watch now is literally brainrot content. they dont even know how to tell time anymore
@@minmin-zr3lqThat’s actually more due to parents being neglectful. My sister doesn’t even get her bag checked when she comes home from school.
I blame them for not managing their children’s behaviors. When I was a kid, I wanted all the things in magazine and commercials, but wanting it didn’t matter. It was inappropriate, so we didn’t get it. My parents would never have taken me into a Sephora, or if they did, they would have been right next to me and kicking me out if I did anything wrong.
I don’t think it’s appropriate for a minor to be on social media. At all.
@@amandajohnson8116, I agree completely. They're on sites such as Instagram, X, Tumblr, and all these NSFW sites, and then we, the adults, have to be punished, i.e., more censorship laws and the likes because parents let their 13-year-olds on these sites. Teachers across the West are fed up with the kids today for their disrespectful behaviour, which they get from social media.
People NEED to get their kids off of the internet
Exactly and the moms need to quit over doing all the makeup and beauty products. I have five and six year old little girls and none of them are talking about any makeup products. I got them a little makeup set for Christmas and they played with it one day that was it. But my kids are also not on their tablets and computers and stuff all day. They literally played their tablets a couple of times a week😂
I remember when Facebook first came out, there was an age restriction that only 13 and up were allowed on
I would say either what u say or AT LEAST control regularly what they r seeing and doing like when I was 10 I was busy playing roblox and watching videos on how to get free robux back when roblox was in the 2017-2018 times 😭
@@terrikeentk🙄
I was a right couch potato in the 80s & 90s, but at least I rode a bike & roller skated several hours a day. Read books too.
Parents of young children, say this with me: NO. It’s not a negative word. They need to hear this. YOU need to hear this.
I come from a background where NO was the ongoing word ever and for anything. It was always NO, no explication, lot of moral judgement as if I was dirty. That was not uncommon back then, buy it quite had a bad influence on my adult life.
I guess people that went through my childhood experience now are terrified when they need to say some NO to their children.
You need to keep a balance and YES/NO need to be backed with meaning.
@@negy2570 Agreed, but in the scenarios pertaining to this video the word “no” is appropriate. These children weren’t asking…they were EXPECTING.
That's true, parents need to balance yes and no, you can't simply just hand a kid a tablet because you're busy, and yeah parenting is hard but you also have to be with your child. You have to teach them how to be one! One of the factors and reasons why these kids are growing up to become this-- is the influence on social media and the way you act. Kids mimic what others do. Sure using isn't detrimental for adults but influencing kids and letting them do whatever they want? Yeah no that's straight being neglectful. That's why it's so important to make boundaries of whether it's right and wrong but also making sure the kids are having fun, being respectful, or just letting them be kids in the first place!
This is why kids this young shouldn't have access to social media. It affects their development 😔
It breaks my heart. I’m over here sobbing like a baby.
Ok, boomers 😅. If the use is monitored and not a free for all, it's fine.
Unless the policies have recently changed every single social media account I have made it clear I have to be over the age of 13 to use the platform AND if under 18 had to have parent consent. Like not even buried deep in the terms and conditions.
@@TranswithhandsGirl. No. 🤦🏼♀️
@@Transwithhands ok default
Why are these parents scared of their kids? Why do they not deny them excesses? Why are these kids out shopping at 10 without an adult?
'gentle parenting'
@@tessfabled4115 that is not gentle parenting
Push over parenting. I feel like they just don't want to parent and don't want to handle their kids crying and whining so they say yes to everything.
@@tessfabled4115 that isn't gentle parenting though. It's tough to break cycles in families and do better, but that doesn't mean you just let them do what they want and never have to cope with things the child doesn't like. That sets anyone up for failure.
I think a lot of these parents were probably traumatized in some sort of way with their own parents, so now they are over compensating to make sure they don’t make those same mistakes.. but a lot of the time, it’s emotionally immature parents who don’t know how to take “no” for an answer themselves from their own parents. So, they let their kids do whatever they want so they are the “cool parents” .
Long gone are the days of letting little kids be little kids.
Stop letting the internet raise your kids, and raise them.
100% I work at a hotel and the amount of parents ignoring their kids is crazy...
I once found a crying 3 year old and had to walk him around the hotel for 30 min before we found his parents who were not even looking for him.
@@katielee7364 jesus that's horrifying. we've had ONE lost kid experience with each kid and both times they knew to head straight to the customer service desk, or find an adult in a uniform (store uniform, cop uniform, whatever) and we had them back in less than 10 minutes. i couldn't imagine spending half an hour not knowing where my TODDLER was and not even caring.
Half the parents are spoilt little child-adults with too much money, so self absorbed and too little interest in their kids!!!
Most people are worked to death just to keep their heads above water.
Parenting is very energy-intensive and time consuming.
they might as well dont birth kids when they are lazy to be parents
am I tripping or I saw a 9 year old with a literal APPLE VISION PRO on their desk like it's a 50 cent postage stamp
For REAL! This is an affluent parent issue
@@sturmfreii7219Believe me, they aren't affluent. Just up to their eyeballs in debt
Its weird because all these facelifts and botox eyebrows make my brain register someone as 40.
They think they are doing it to look younger but it actually makes them look older.
If these makeups actually succeed in making these girls look younger, we're talking about like a 9 year old trying to look 6 again. LOL, this topics really ripe for parody, wheres SNL?!
Exactly. As soon I detect botox puffs, I consider them as 40+
They are trying to look older. They want to seem mature and adult.
Wait a minute now, I've had a lot of work but done it with good doctors and I look completely natural. Puberty left me with bad skin, teeth, and a large nose with tiny lips. View my page and tell me I look unnatural. 😂
Wait a minute. I've had quite a bit of work over my life. Not a facelift, but you definitely can't tell what I have had done... You're referring to people who've been botched. I don't look like that.
So basically the next generation of Kardashians are ruining the self esteem of kids and making them feel they need to buy masses of stuff. Just like the Kardashian sisters did to my generation.
Exactly. All the Kardashian kids will probably have their own spin off in a few years and start it all over again 🙄
I'm saddened by the fact I wasn't surprised by this leading back to a Kardashian kid. Much less North and that's the real crime. That the Kardashians are so in grained in everything that I'm not shocked by their involvement anymore.
Ikr! It scares me so much for this next generation 😢
Bingo!
Exactly. Like money has always equaled “beauty” as in being able to afford cosmetics surgery and treatments. Now it’s that way for young children too, kids will be looked down upon for not being able to afford the expensive products. When I was getting into my teen years I think most of us just used the cheapest makeup we could get 😂
The mother needing the Sephora clerk to talk sense into and convince her child out of an unnecessary splurge purchase is 100% the root of the issue.
literally, my mom would've forced me to only get one
@itsmikki44 at that age, my mom wouldn't have even brought me to the store! I wasn't even supposed to get my ears pierced until 16 (done on 10th birthday) so pricey makeup and skincare was unthinkable.
This is 100% a parenting problem. Idk why this generation of parents has like no boundaries and don’t know how to discipline their children, but it’s ridiculous. If you love your child, say no to them. Teach them good manners, healthy habits, and let them have an age-appropriate childhood. And for the love of all that is good, KEEP THEM OFFLINE!!
It boggles me and scares me because the parents of these brats are millienals (my generation), and Gen Z. I just....I'm absolutely floored.
It's not the influencer's responsibility nor the Sephora worker's job to parent these kids. Its the PARENT'S responsibility!
Exactly!
This! Yes the internet can be toxic for kids, and yes things are being targeted for younger and younger kids, but it is 100% on the parents to shield them or educate them how to deal with this or keep them away from it. It’s effing terrifying. These kids will literally be depressed non-functional adults in 10 years who don’t have basic deductive reasoning or common sense skills because everything has always been at their fingertips. It really is insane how these parents are just fine with their kids being born consumers. It’s sick.
But they're not, though, and this is why this stuff is happening.
Well many parents would rather be their kids friend than an actual parent. I would be never caught dead taking my kid to a Sephora before the age of 14
If a kid is bored, let them figure out for themselves what else they can do.
Parents-Stop being your child's friend and get busy parenting. It's cost less money. No internet no problems!
Problem is most schools require assignments to be done on the Internet.
@@CraftyZanTub Then keep a desktop computer in the living room, where they have no privacy.
You can still be a friend while being a responsible parent. Balance is key.
The parent is shallow enough to let their child fk up their skin by putting all that bs onto it..... my daughter daughter is 22 I've always taught her less makeup is more your beautiful without makeup if you want to enhance your beauty do the eyes only bring out the color of your beautiful eyes nothing else ...... she still doesn't use all that bs all over her face...
I'm sure lot the parents pushed them into it
children do not need that makeup or skin care. THEY DO NOT NEED THIS
To be fair, kids getting make-up isn't new. It was never unusual to buy cheap make-up from Claire's and let kids play around with it and mix it together and have fun. However, buying skin care routines and expensive luxury make-up for kids to play dress up with is just wasteful.
@@PixieoftheWood THAT
Well, I wouldn't consider it unreasonable for children to apply sun screen daily. If an over-priced beauty product is what it takes to make that happen, maybe that's a win?
pdfs in the skincare industry think otherwise
It isn't considerable only if it's a medical like redness, acne, ecxma
This is the only reason I use it
If i was sephora i would ban tweens cause my gosh, like u can even have ur parents get you the stuff u need u dont NEED to test EVERYTHING making it dirty
The owner prob makes more money allowing them in. They dont care abt adults since its not "new" flow of income🥲
Who and where are the PARENTS taking these 10 year olds to Sephora??? This is sick. So, so sad. Let kids be kids. Play OUTSIDE! Side note: the little girl with the Lululemon sling bag… shame on those parents. You’re raising a spoiled, entitled brat. Good luck.
Good luck to the rest of us who have to live with these kids, you mean. The so-called 'parents' are off elsewhere, they've left their kids in the playground for somebody else to deal with.
their parents tend to also be the entitled child as well all grown up
They are raising 10 year old middle aged women
As a gen z, it's okay for little girls to want to put makeup, it's 2024 kids don't want to play with monkeybars anymore, but we got to teach them RESPECT
California ☠️ Irvine spectrum to be specific
when i was 10 i was still trying to convince my mom to buy me slime supplies
Exactly, and when they said no, I would just watch random 2 ingredient tutorials on yt
lol, thats what my soon to be 10 year old does xD watches 2 ingredient slime tutorials and bugs me about buying slime
Meee toooo!!!!! Lol. I loved that stuff. I stained my grandparents ceiling one summer when my slime 1/2 ball got stuck up there for a few hours before I told them what I did...cause I was so scared about getting in trouble...lol. Idk what that stuff is made of, but it literally stained the ceiling paint, kinda like a grease stain, for years. I think they eventually re-pained the ceiling...? :)
@@ebond4 aww, that's actually sweet! I'm guessing the stain was food coloring dye cause I made the mistake of adding too much (like 3 drops) and it stained my hand (I still played with it tho-)
I’m nearly 16 and still walk through the toy isle 😭
What's scarier than children.... the parents. As someone who's worked with kids, the parents are worse bc they'll always defend their "little angels" even when they're bad.
I'd like to say that I'd put a kid in their place and tell them that they're being disrespectful, but idk. Kids in public haven't disrespected me like that yet
I love the way so many parents claim parenthood is the source of their "joy and happiness" while turning over the care of their children to ipads, social media and teachers.
I was a kid/teen in the 90s and while I was a "mall rat" I would never destroy products because my parents taught me better.
what's a mall ray
A kid who hangs out in a mall.
I was too!! But we took pride in our malls and stores.
Same, if I wanted to try them out and I accidentally made a mess then I’d clean it up.
“when we get inside, you better not touch anything!” These kids clearly haven’t had this talk.

I'm 13, and ASHAMED of many people my age. I remember as a kid I would love occasionally going to justice, claires, etc. getting a thing or two as a treat. But now, I see people my age doing makeup or skincare, and I don't even know how to do makeup or skincare yet! I go to Sephora and Ulta very rarely to get something for my acne breakouts, and I get treated as a nuisance by the workers when I ask them on some assistance with recommended acne products to buy for my skin. I understand the worker's exhasperation about this situation, and I don't mind at all. But I feel bad for the other kids who don't act like the notorious 10-13 year olds, and get mistaken for the other kids who actually are disrespectful. It's a sad world rn.
I’m sorry you don’t get the help you need without looks. I’ve learned with my skin that the best way for me to keep the acne away is to use very gentle products on my face because the harsher the product the more my skin would flare up. I hope you are finding things that help you.
Exactly! I get bad looks every time i go to the mall with my parent!
I'm also 13 I feel speechless for the world we live in.
“When I was a kid” ur still a kid
Oh my god. I'm proud of you for seeing sense and not following in with the "billions of other Gen Alpha" kids like the ones in the video.
My younger sister is a Sephora tween. I tried to explain to our mother that letting her on social media like TikTok before she turned 13 would be a bad idea for her, since the internet is a scary place. My opinions were written off as me not wanting her to clog up the Wi-Fi, but in all truth that was absolutely not the case. My sister has been cyberbullied since 10, preyed on by old men, and now she’s addicted to beauty products that she shouldn’t be using. It honestly frustrates me so much when so-called “responsible” adults allow preteens on social media and allow them to be affected mentally in a negative way like this.
In Brazil there is a rule that if you opened it, you will have to pay. In this situation, mall security guards are supposed to hold children until their parents show up to pay for the product.
In the US all the products shown in this video, for the most part, are considered “testers” the store fronts the cost of one product to place in front of the display of the boxed products so that customers can “test the product” on themselves before buying. With eye shadows it’s usually to color test on the arm or hand. And similar for the rest of these products.
@@madi7178 you can test with the testers in Brazil Sephora, but if you´re seen making a mess with the testesrs you will likely be asked to leave
Same in Mexico. If you open it you pay it and if you dont you're a thief and they're calling the cops.
If this was blk children behaving in this manner this would have ended long ago. Parents would be ticketed or jailed!
It is supposed to be like that in Europe and Asia, too. You could go to jail for 2-5 in Japan for accidently leaving the store area with something that's equal to 1 cent.
I'm 55 years old and wasn't allowed to wear any makeup until I was 16 or 18 years old. This is insane
i'm 24 and i wasn't allowed to wear make up unless my mom was present and she'd tell me what i could wear (mascara and lipgloss when i was younger, and as i got older i was able to wear different things.) I didn't have the 'full face' of makeup until i was in highschool so yeah 16-18.
@@remycat1108 maybe that's why many gen Alpha & z looked older than their ages?
I'm 57 and feel the kids should have the same skincare routine we did. GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY.
At their age, I was just learning how to use neutrogena acne cream 😵💫😵💫
At that age,i was content with the tv and making potions out of water and baby powder. i only got my first phone when i was 11 cause of national day field trip with my class.
This is the parent's fault... I never acted like at that age when I shopped at the mall by myself.. Clothes were my go to, not makeup! Maybe a simple lipsmackers..
Clothes and the food court lol 😂 Dairy Queen probably owes me money at this point

You should have said something! How unacceptable
@@sharonharris9782no way. Why should she parent someone else child when her mom is right there? Also, most people don’t want you telling their kids what to do. If she said something to the child the mother would’ve probably become irate. Not her job as a customer. Let the employees handle it.
@@prtdivawhy? If the freaking parent is t saying anything, why shouldn't you? Give me a break
You should have alerted a worker or manager. I do. It's pretty much stealing.
@@prtdivathat’s why I say something to the mom first like “hey your kid is opening all these lipsticks that are for sale and now other people can’t buy them”
They’ll either be ashamed enough to act like they didn’t notice until I said something orrr, they’ll double down and we’ll argue but those moms are usually gonna tell their kids something like “look what happened because of you” or the kids will be too scared to get their mom into another argument
And the fact that some of these moms are egging their children on social media by allowing them to film grwm videos with stuff they don’t need. Like ma’am SHES 7-

Also this
I am a 26 year old woman. The only skincare products I own are a natural soap, and a natural cream (shea butter) with no additives.
People often tell me they thought I was still in high school.
I have never owned a concealer, a mascara, a foundation. All I have is an eyeliner pen, and an eyebrow pencil, and some lipticks I was gifted.
Nothing wong if someone has a lot of products, but not for children. Children DO NOT need all of that.
It is sad to see them so early be so obsessed with their apearances, and not letting themselves stay children and enjoy these times.
Adulthod is not fun, and these kids want to rush themselves into it.
What brand of cream do you use? It’s so hard for me to find a good product that won’t break me out.
@@rileyswack5402 hey so I don't really use a brand, I use a raw and refined shea butter (my sister makes it).
I'm not sure what type of skin you have so maybe what works for me won't work for you.
But I always only use pure natural stuff on my face, pure oil that has no added chemical or a pure butter. It's easy for me to find that sort of things in my country. Maybe test it with an oil (you don't need to use a lot) and see what it does. But if your skin is oily I'm not sure it's a good idea.
Or try a cream that has the most natural ingredients as possible.
I’m 22 and own no makeup. Many mistake me as a 12 year old. I don’t see a need for it
I'm 40, oldest ive been guessed at has been 32, most of the time, people assume I'm in my 20s still. I use a basic body moisturizer, and sunscreen and dove for soap.
My hair gets more attention than my skin, but it's curly. Make up is very basic and minimal.
These kids are gonna look 40 at 18 using these products at such a young age.
....and adulthood isn't a guarantee for everyone. Long life is a privilege and am really tired of everyone whining about existing being "hard". Every day is a gift and we 're all squandering it on plastic and chemicals.
I'm 13.5 years old. I've gone in Sephora and never even used a tester because they're so gross. I own a Wallgreens eyeshadow palette, an eyeshadow primer, I use one of my grandma's blushes, and I own a singular lip gloss, sometimes I use eyeliner. My only skin care is a Marshall's teen face wash that I use once a month. I do not even want to be associated with Gen Alpha. I am Gen Z. Gen Alpha begins in 2013.
Also Claire's still exists.
Gen Z person too and I barely use my makeup and only put on makeup for special occasions
Lol sorry kiddo but gen alpha started in 2010. But in reality who cares what generation your in, every gen goes through getting their gen hated on
@@skyla148 I looked it up. Gen alpha begins in 2013. I don't want to be associated with them except for my bestie who was born in early 2013 and is super awesome and hates wearing makeup and says that the girls their age scare them.
This is exactly what I did when I was 13! Drugstore makeup and borrowing from family members is the best way to learn makeup and skincare imo. Don’t waste your money on expensive product when you’re still learning! Good on you and your family!
@@anais3337yeah, even our nail polish is just from Hannaford and CVS
I worked retail last fall and 11 year olds saying things like “I just spent $600 at lululemon” was common. Why are parents giving their children credit cards?
When I was young, if I wanted something but mom was already tired, I was trusted enough with the card to go in and grab the single item that I was begging for. Now, if I came back from that with a 600$ charge, I would have never been seen again 💀
If the kids want to spend 600$ at Lululemon and their parents allow them to do that I don't see an issue. They shouldn't do that just because random people on the internet don't approve that? Interesting logic
I had a co-worker whose 11 year old asked to go to Lululemon to buy "a few things". When he saw the prices, he said she could get whatever she liked- using her birthday money. Suddenly she was fine with heading to Target, lol.

Spot on!
Are we going to talk about the huge rise in children shoplifting these TikTok trending items too? My store charged at least one under 18 years old girl with felony theft last year.
These kids think they’re untouchable and don’t understand what the ramifications of their actions can be.
But parents don’t want to hear anything negative about their little angels much less take responsibility for their actions. 😒
They'll still get away with it. The 14 yo that stole my car has a history of car theft. 😊 she got 6 months probation.
At some point, we've stopped teaching our children that actions have consequences. The result? Look around.
That's the problem. There aren't real consequences until it's much too late too nip the bad behavior in the bud for most of them.
Every time I tried to ask for something that was only popular because it main stream, my mom would ask me if it would actually do anything for me in the long run. I'm very glad she did.
This makes me deeply deeply sad. Not just about these kids, but about the entire society that they are reflecting.
This is the deeper truth of it all. Why have we all become so obsessed with ourselves and our appearance?
All I see here is what's been around for a long time: parenting failures
The internet just allows the parents to let their kids become ruined to truly magnificently LOW lows.

the more gen alpha grows up the more sad i feel, it's genuinely so depressing and dissapointing seeing these kids shaped so much nybthe brainrot of social media and innattentive parents who should have never had kids to begin with. i just feel bad for these kids, because they really DONT know better amd it's the faultnof their parents and the toxic environment of the internet they have unrestricted access to.
As a 12 year old myself, I am absolutely DISGUSTED. I’ve never been to Sephora, however, if I do, I will make it a POINT to be respectful to everyone around me and if I use testers, not make the smoothie things on testers, which OTHER PEOPLE also use. It seems that my generation is really immature now… and I’m genuinely appalled at how true that is. I feel like I’m one of the handful that are mature about skincare and makeup. I hope I didn’t offend anyone with this paragraph.
true blessing your parents raised you right 😭🙏🫶
you’re a true gem, it’s so refreshing to see a gen alpha kid being so respectful ❤
I'm your age and I'm so glad I've found another person who doesn't follow these horrific norms for our generation. I can't tell if it's an extreme uprising of insecurities in kids and pre-teens or if they are just following examples set by the internet, but their parents need to say NO. If I ever do get skincare, I will NOT be using those testers, it's FOUL. The poor employees should get a raise for all the inhumane treatment they get every day.
Protect this one guys 😬😬😬
i'm convinced that the skincare industry is full of creeps with rather illegal interests
I was in sephora just the other day. I was approached by a salesperson and she observed I had a couple items in my hands looking at the line. She pulled me aside and said we need to take care of our loyal dedicated clients and guided me to an area near the door. She had a portable credit card machine and checked me out. I thanked her profusely! So i believe they are paying very close attention to customers like myself who know what we want and refuse to wait in a long line of tweens who hardly spend anything.
I cannot believe you just called Sephora a 'safe space' I'm cackling
My mall created a rule that anyone 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Younger kids were being dropped off at the mall to run around like it was a playground. They were getting into trouble, messing up displays, and, even if they were behaving, it wasn't safe for them to be alone. The amount of teens who are causing fights was also increasing. The rule has been in place for a few years and it's completely improved the shopping experience for the better. Unfortunately, the amount of people at the mall has went down, but the overall atmosphere has gotten better. I haven't seen this behavior at my local Ulta's but I attribute that to the age restrictions.
Kids that are unaccompanied at a mall; that's a predators wildest dream.
What's sad is when I was a kid, we could be dropped off at the mall and we didn't destroy the place. I'm sure we were annoying, but we weren't destructive.
@@dinosaurwoman right? At 16 i was spending all day at thw mall with my best friends and we knew not to rip and run around like maniacs. What the heck is going on with parents these days?
I saw a bit from a French documentary recently where a 10yo and her sis (older) where ordering stuff on SHEIN. Their mom checked their order before approving of it, and the 10yo wanted make up brushes, the mom went "do you wear make up?" and she said "No", "then you don't need brushes for it !!". Then the mom also refused to purchase an itty bitty cropped top with lace up back saying "it's inappropriate for a 10yo !!". Social media is brainwashing these kids !
Can we give an award to this mum?!
Why was she letting her children shop on Shein to begin with? Kudos to her for saying no but really?
SHEIN products are often toxic. I would not buy anything from there.
@@Dbb27 shein has some cute age appropriate clothes too. Like the graphic tees and all that
Parents are responsible for monitoring their children's internet use. When I was growing up, Internet time was strictly limited for most kids and they weren't allowed to use social media. But nowadays, parents have no idea what they're kids are doing and watching online, who they're talking to. It's frightening how little parents care these days

If I had ever asked my mom for any of this, she'd STILL be laughing...and I'm 35.
This is ridiculous- why are the parents PAYING for it??! I wouldn't buy my kid makeup until she was much much older- and even then, I wouldn't buy her something as expensive as what I would buy myself as a "treat", this is just woeful on so many levels..and I'm surprised it's not damaging their young skin
Allowances are out of control now. It’s become the latest Keeping Up With The Joneses trend.
It is damaging their skin, they’re ruining their skin barrier before their hormones even get a chance to kick in and wreck them, then there’ll be little to nothing left to help protect against it…
Oh they will pay the price with their faces
I'm ashamed to say I bought an eyeliner for $22. I had $100 couldn't find what I wanted, and only settled for that. $22.00 is very pricey for one little thing, but at least it achieved what I wanted.
the only makeup i have is some eyeliner that was like $5 but i have like no sephoras or big makeup companys anywhere near me so i guess thats it.
SKINCARE IS NOT A TOY. This is so frustrating. I get using VERY gentle stuff, and I'm glad some are being taught that acids are not good for them, but yes parents absolutely need to take charge, are you kidding me? Aside from the abominable rude behavior some have, they can literally melt their faces off!
The problem isnt the internet. The problem is parents who dont say NO.
Thank you
THANK YOU
It’s both
It's definitely both. Parents need to say no to their kids and keep kids off of the internet. Kids are extremely easy to influence. My five year old thinks that every game that she sees with people playing and having fun will be fun for her, too. I'm trying to teach her the difference between the people having fun and her likelihood of having fun with the same game.
It's definitely both. Pre-internet you were only familiar with what was popular in your own social bubble, you bought the products available in your local stores and that was it. There was toxic beauty standards before but everything exploded with social media. This is were parenting should come in, and many parents fail at that bc it's just so much more convenient to let tiktok and co. raise your kid right? Edit: fixed a typo
And these younger generations wonder why they look like they're in their late 40's in their early to mid 20's
My 8 and 12 year old girls never ask to go to sephora. I've told them they're beautiful without makeup, and their focus should be having fun, passing school, not trends.
"If you always follow someone else's idea of happy, you'll never be happy." That's what I say
likewise, though i always assumed it helped that i don't wear makeup either. i've told them that i made that choice in high school because my mom was always caked in makeup to the point that she wouldn't leave the house without putting "her face" on and i never wanted that to be me. i also figured out early on that people get used to your face regardless so if you're always wearing makeup, you look weird without it. if you never wear makeup, you're never expected to wear makeup and you actually look better without it.
Good parenting
@@dietotaku I hardly wear it myself. Maybe once a year if that.
This is so real, I will never follow a idea of happy that I have to follow. As a child with high internet access, I will be raising my kid without alot of internet access at all.
@@dietotaku 👍Even though I always wear a little make up ...I get your point❣
When I was 10 even having McDonalds was asking too much
😂😂😂😂😂
yeah same here. my mother never even let me close to fastfood restaurants as she was afraid I could get addicted.
Me too

Same. McDonald's happened less than once every 2 months.
Calling skincare the new toy of this generation is wild
Seriously! Beyond!
Very Very wild
Especially when actual new toys are STILL around.
I go to sephora only about once or twice a year. But when I do, I don't even go near the popular products or do anything with the samples except for the perfumes cuz I wanna smell them. I am absolutely disgusting by the things people my age are doing. I am so terribly ashamed.
At ten years old I was still playing outside and not using makeup at all. I was also still playing with Barbie dolls and watching cartoons. Thank goodness my parents raised me well!
I read a LOT. And played the piano, went outside and shot hoops. Climbed a tree to read because my mom made me go outside, and I'm the ultra fair child in a family of light olives...
Same here😂. At 10 I loved riding my 10 speed around my neighborhood, playing with dolls, watching cartoons on TV and VHS, and reading lots of books and comics.
As a kid, I was excited if my parents let me "look" in Toys R US, Waldenbooks, or a comic book store.
as a 10 year old in the early 90's I got make up all the time. Make-up kits existed for kids for ages and were VERY popular in the late 80's and 90's. I even had a Belle barbie that had magical lipstick and Lisa Frank eyeshadow and temperary tattoos. I used to ride dirt bikes with bright purple mascara on and shimmering lipsmackers.
Yep. Barbies and bikes were life. Although I did love Lip Smackers 😊
Thank God you weren't that kid! Playing with dolls was a pretty good childhood memory. Rn, I feel like every doll collector is storing their dolls for display.
WHY AREN’T THEY INSTANTLY GOING AFTER THE PARENTS?!?! Like INSTANTLY!
Fr when I was their age I would be asking my mother to buy me Barbies and I'm 16 and I never used skin care
@@Coolestteen -Same. I'm old now since I was a kid/teen of the 90s. Skincare is time-consuming and I didn't want to lose precious playtime. I need it now and I'm surrounded by little ones acting like they have 'crow's feet'.
I only use it because of peer pressure! But that's not me
(I'm not ten I'm older)
I think a lot of the immediate reaction is shock. But yes it absolutely falls on the parents.
As a child (teen) if I find my parents at Sephora I would just beg them to go to GameStop instead of sephora
Parents need to realize that their little girls are gonna end up having their self esteem broken by a young adult woman having a bad day that their “angel” decided to trash talk. Be careful what u wish for. It’s not a daycare
Bro they don’t even know what ALGEBRA yet😭😭
Like when I was a kid I was collecting rocks💀
This is what happens when we have a generation of children who are chronically online because their parents are chronically online. We can’t expect these kids to know how to function outside of social media If their parents never learned either. that is exactly why we have this problem in the first place. I understand that there are many parents out there who need a break from parenting, but sticking your kid on a tablet so that you can go on your phone is not a solution it is the problem.
🎉💯🎉
Also lazy parents
no one is old enough yet to have grown up chronically online. The earliest someone could have been chronically all day is at the very most ten years, closer to five though.
@@noellefritz5678 honey i was 15 when yahoo chatrooms came out in 1997 and i assure you it was quite easy to spend all day in there. i've spent most of my adult life being chronically online, only difference is i don't let my kids do the same. they deserve the chance to be children first.
@@noellefritz5678 "Chronically online" does not mean that you literally do nothing but sit on a phone/tablet all day. It means that the internet is a major source of your social contact, often to the exclusion of in-person socialization. And look, I'm over 40 and it was already true of some kids my age when I was 15, using actual computers and dialup. The iPhone has been out for 17 years; there are people who have had them since they were young children who are now old enough to drink.
Hold the parents accountable. Charge an entry fee to kids 10 bucks or get out.
10 bucks? not enough. One product alone costs way more than that
10 bucks when they can destroy about $1000 in product in 10 minutes!!!
Or don't let them in that's an option@@lynettefinnigan9540
Not everyone coming into Sephora is a kid or teen. Mostly working women@@terraguttierez2996
They should have a strict "you break it, you buy it" policy.
This tells me more about the adults we have having children these days. That’s concerning.
WHO ARE THESE PARENTS!
Why are children on social media!
They need their parents to teach them how to wipe their behind properly!
This is sick!
Yeah, plenty of them should never be parents.
I personally think that if you're aware of all the problems existing in the world today and the somewhat concerning outlook of humanity, you will be a lot more conservative about the idea of having kids. Parenting requires a lot of vigilance than it ever did. The people who decide to have kids anyways, only some of them are vigilant.
@@vaaance710 I agreed. I have kids myself, and I don’t understand these parents.
I am so thankful for the daughters I have! One is a tomboy and the other that does play with MU, does just that she plays. It's not a need. Neither of them even know what these brands are and their skin care routine consists of face wash and lotion.
the problem is not the kids, it's THE PARENTS
If the kids want to buy makeup and their parents allow them to do that I don't see any problem. They shouldn't do that just because random people on the internet don't approve that? Interesting logic. I think everyone is just being overdramatic for no good reason.
@@DJ-yh8hmyap yap theyre ruining their childhood and skin
@@hk.d1ana No they are not. Who are you to judge? It's always the older generation telling kids stuff like: "Back in my days..." Every generation does that and every kid hates hearing that. It keeps repeating. Millennials were told not to watch TV all the time and now they are the parents who make decisions. Times are changing and every generation of kids is different. It's makeup and TikTok for this generation, it used to be TV and video games, it used to be comic books etc. Every new generation is considered the worst. You need to see a whole picture. And btw, normal makeup is far better for kids than cheap kiddie makeup that's been proven to cause cancer because it contains asbestos and sh*t.

Honestly keep that attitude up. I'm in college and me and most of my friends also don't care about makeup. I don't even wear it anymore- I've got more important uses of the 15-30 minutes of time it'd take out of my day.

I played with my mom's makeup age 10. I wasn't allowed to leave the house and mostly looked like a clown with colors my mom bought and didn't like. She would never have allowed me to do this in a store.
When I was 10 I was riding my bike, playing with my doll house and hitting the tennis ball against the garage door with my best pal. My skincare routine was washing my face with Ivory Soap and brushing my teeth before I went to bed. Why are we allowing children to grow up too quickly? It’s disturbing. I took my granddaughter into Sephora one day and she asked me when we could leave and go to Target toy department. My daughter would never support the behavior. And neither do I.
I am a substitute teacher at an elementary school and I once was in a 4th grade and two girls were talking during the whole class and it was all about skincare and make up. One of them told me that she loved make up and that she wishes for skin care and make up every birthday and every Christmas. I mean they are literally kids, their skin is smooth and clean and most products are simply not fit for their skin. They are all wearing branded clothing as well, all have their own phones or tablets and I can’t even imagine what an expensive lifestyle that must be. I mean they are growing out of their clothes like every 6 months, how can parents even afford this?
that's why Asian parent made their kid learn music instrument just to keep them busy. It's still expensive but at least at least it's a skill.
I’m Korean and a mother. What kind of parents let their 10-12 year daughter wear a makeup and do a skincare routine? What’s wrong with the parents in the US? No wonder most western women look like 40 by the time they turn 20. Smh
Exactly, to me it seems like this problem with young teens is only problem in USA. I hope it’s not going to spread in other parts of the world…
@@Mijah1016why does everyone have beef with skin care we all have skin and we have to take care of it 😭😭😭
I know it's supposed to be a joke but these things just become more prominent in Asia… A report shows young folks are getting plastic surgery in Eastern Asia too. Also, not every Asian parent can afford instrument lessons. To keep me busy my mom makes me do house chores and take care of my siblings 💀
i had an asian freind and his dad BULLIED him into playing claret and a few years later he taught me i thought his dad was funny for that though
Where are these “children” going to get the money to buy all this in the future? I’m sitting here shaking my head, after googling the price of what these kids are allowed to buy, the entitlement is off the chart.
Mommy and daddy will continue to fund their babies' habits. Period.
If im a marine biologist in the future, and get good pay I am definitely paying for half the things my mom buys because she did that for me
I'm 62 & I can't even afford to shop at Sephora. I'm in Australia & their products are almost double the cost to America
@@fabiwilliams4644Unfortunately anything that has to be shipped into Australia ends up having that increased cost added to the product price. Same thing happens to places like Hawaii or Alaska, but at least Australia is large enough to be able to make a lot of their own products.
@@absolutelyridiculous6743 And if not parents, 6' hubby with 6 figures pay will.
Sephora, should have taken action and banned those brats a long time ago.
Yes!
That's the job of the parents
No the parents need to take action and stop being push overs. Or if they actually wanted to take their kids to sephora they should teach them to be respectful to the employees and the testers.
The adults in the equation need to teach the kids etiquette. Unless the adult has never been to Sephora, you would think the kids would be told ahead of time about testers and how to use them properly or would at least stop their kid before letting them destroy testers. Sephora could also come up with ways to inform the young customers as well. There are certainly worse things the kids could be interested in than skincare.
Sephora, you should not be targeting that demographic in the first place. So quit your whining, you ASKED for this.
When I was 10 I was drawing sentient planets and torturing my toys what happened to the kids💀

Kids don’t need skincare other then washing their face & sunscreen & possibly moisturizer. Most skincare is NOT designed for children’s skin in mind so it’s just gonna cause more harm than good.
When I was their age, the most I used was the proactive cleanser or CeraVe cleanser. This is crazy to me, the fact that this is normal, they’re ruining their skin.
@@spoonobleach4608idk about ruining their skin but it won’t do any good
nah, it IS ruining their skin. So many derms and chemists have spoken out about the high percentage/strength actives they are using. Retinol at that age will excelerate wrinkling, its stripping fresh-wrinkle free skin for no reason
@@acid_tongue_4315derms have not said that kids shouldn't cleanse, moisturize, and protect their faces. No derm has come out against basic hygiene.
@sharonharris9782 Dude was talking about the actives like retinol, didn't say anything about moisturizer & basic hygiene.
The thing is, there are still dolls. There are still friendship bracelets, bikes, parks, museums, and gaming consoles. Millennial parents are the problem, they gave up raising their kids. Social media has raised their kids for them so they're only learning "trendy" things which aren't meant for 9 years olds!! They are meant for 29 years olds! They quite literally need to unplug and touch grass because they don't know how to function in a world where the Internet is not a central part. It's ruining their minds, self esteem and functions. I honestly pity these kids because they don't know better because they haven't been taught better.
Well, meant for twenty-year-olds. Those near thirty don't get influenced that easy unless it's food.
I didn't like toys or anything pretend at 10, but I agree with the parks, museums and craft etc.

My question is, where did all these rich parents come from? I don’t know them.
oh they exist. private schools and rich neighborhoods have the rich kids. my bro goes to Loyola high school in Los Angeles and 98% of the parents are multimillionaires that take really good care of their kids financially. also, when I was in school my dad would give me $400 a month. its very common for parents to give their children money. not everybody struggles.
@@gatacalifasI go to a private school. $20 here is a luxury 😭. It may be because it’s strict but most of the students that go there don’t even use makeup from kinder to middle school like wth. Instead of focusing on skincare these is ss should care more about their grades.
Credit cards can make anyone feel rich...
They came from either rich grandparents or a severe misunderstanding of credit card debt
Fr tho... Spending 1000 on skincare seems crazy. My serum (that lasts me 3 months of everyday use) is normally priced ~70 and I still wait for it to go on sale and buy it for 40. My parents raised me stingy

Exactly! How is she going to pay the parent back? That's not the way it worked in my house. If we didn't already have the $$ we didn't get what we wanted. My parents would have told me, "Save a little more and the next time we're here THEN you can get it". END OF DISCUSSION!

This is the consequence of bad parenting... Too much time in front of the tv, social media accounts before 18, and not knowing how to say "NO". This is ridiculous.
Social media shouldn't be allowed under 18. Can you imagine what a change that would make? A total different world.
I 100% agree. These parents are the real problem
social media is okay for like 13+ I agree that younger kids shouldn't be on social media but making it 18+ is way too much bro 💀 social media also has good sides yk like it can be educational and it can help teens understand themselves more, develop their own style, etc.
Parents ARE the problem..let's face it..a great many parents, in their own efforts to be "cool"..support their kids wanting the same thing. Adults are getting more immature each passing decade. Consumerism has taken over every generation. Social media is definitely a huge factor..but it is ultimately up to the individual to not watch and break away from the brainwashing. Go play outside with your kids, read with them, talk with them..etc .
Parents who are buying this stuff for their preteens…YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!!! They do NOT need them!! These kids are going to be monstrous adults…absolutely ludicrous🤦🏻♀️
I remember wanting to grow up so bad at 10 years old (this was in 2002), my mom immediately stopped it and even her friend told me to enjoy childhood while I can. So glad they stepped in. This is what todays parents need to be doing. It's going to be very interesting to see how this affects them into adulthood.

But still parents in my country are so strict that they do not allow kids under 12 to be in social media a lot or use makeup
My sister for example dont let her preteen enter social media until she turned 13 and barely let her use make up she only brought her lipgloss and nail polish
I live in France and >10 year olds dont have tablets or acces to the internet. Neither with tv, it’s very rare to see children allowed to watch more than 30 min of tv unless is the weekend. And 10 years old play with toys and in the dirt and don’t care about fashion/skincare/makeup yet. I find it a little disturbing how in the us children are treated as adults and have free acces to the internet.
Even babies get to watch cartoons on tablets in Malaysia since it's "the only way to get little ones to behave in public". I never got a phone until 6th grade for a field trip to different states and even that was an old keypad phone so no access to the internet even if I wanted to. Got my first smartphone when I was 15 because the teachers kept giving homework on the student website and my mom was told that I will be expelled if I failed to hand in another assignment given on the website. I was mocked for being behind on the times when I didn't know how to do certain things on a laptop and smart TV.
@@mila5796 and then Muslims online, including Malaysia, say that Islam is going to save Western civilizations, when they are worse at monitoring their childrens screen time than us😂 it's so funny
👌🏻
@@pikapi6993 it's because popping a screen in front of them is easier than putting toys and trying to entertain the baby for the entire duration of the meal. Also they don't want to take turns eating or have a baby throwing a tantrum. The only issues I have with my baby are his grabby hands and turning everything in sight into drums(including the table and high chair)
Looking at France's immigrant crisis and Paris burning every other week:
Who cares about biological french parents not able to afford an iPad?
I blame parents, point blank and period. This is beyond ridiculous
When I was a kid I was respectful and polite. I didn't know that kids we're RUINING those test-products.
if you ever feel spoiled remember sephora kids exist
those parents r spineless istg
