Please enjoy todays selection of the worst beauty related videos that Tiktok has to offer. We dive into the questionable drama surrounding Glow Recipe and discuss a worrying new trend targeted at teens and more BS involving...you guessed it...clean beauty. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Am I missing something with the glow recipe story?!
no, people are just dense
also yes, cutting the eggs with the shell on is weird😭
Im just as confuse as you are
You're missing an opportunity to manufacture non existent drama.
@@g4uzyit’s so weird 😭😭
absolutely crazy to me that a crow can fully grasp the concept of water displacement but a beauty tiktoker cannot ✨
Omfg 😭😭😂😂😂
OMG STOPP- this is my fave comment of the day lmfao😭😭🤣🤣
🤣🤣 just goes to show, crows and other corvids are definitely smarter than some hoomans. Fantastic comment🤣🤣💜
This is why people say that when we go extinct that crows/ corvids and octopus might over take the earth because they to smart
😆😆💀
The shift towards anti-intellectualism on the internet is genuinely maddening because how are we suddenly too stupid to read the volume/weight of product, and now we’re just buying based on the packaging? There have always been brands that use bulky packaging to disguise how little product there is. Not to be too mean but the girls in the tiktoks are either doing a bit or they’re actually stupid.
I bet they have no idea unit pricing exists.
I'm going with actually stupid.
Oh it’s definitely a bit all for views. Of course some of them are actually this stupid, but when you act dumb or do something wrong jn a video, you get more engagement and more money.
NGL I think it's a mix
- People who never read anyway become influencers
- People who DO read for some reason started listening to influencers
- Dumb people telling smart people what to do and no one is fact checking anymore
I've watched fully educated people become idiots and denounce their educations because some idiot on TH-cam or Tiktok convinced them they were LIED to.
Medical professionals falling into the antivax lies - and the 5G bs and all that.
A classically trained [albeit retired] chef now suddenly practicing very unhygienic practices because of tiktok [washing meat, using the rag they wiped down their sink and stove with to dry off wet dishes, etc].
etc etc.
“You can see the product is not full.” “It’s deceptive.” Girl you just said you can see it with your eyes 😭
😩😩😩
Even if the bottle was opaque it's not deceptive if the volume printed on the package is incorrect or if it's not printed on there at all 😔 The fact the bottle is transparent glass tells me they were not trying to be deceptive, they just expected better observation skills from consumers and that's not really their fault 😅
That's the thing. Ppl keep getting these and laneige. But don't products say how many Oz. are inside. So even if it's as big as a brick, if it says 2 Oz, Of course most of it is plastic or air. You are buying what they are offering. Now I'm not sure if they do have the amount I'm too broke for these. But the skincare I get from the dollar stores always say how much is inside even if all the packages are different sizes it's only an ounce
@@JubbysDragonsThe product tells you how much is in it on the package.
People are just dumb that’s all 😅
“I sprayed an alcohol based product on grass and it died!”
Shocking!
Whaaatttt no way?!! 😂😂😂 I’ve seen better “experiences” from third graders.
Skin? Same as grass, you will definitely unalive ☠️
"Last week we put liquid paper on a bee, and... it died..." 🤣
😂❤😂
Some of my plants go weak when they drink tap water, never mind perfume 😂
people are so desperate to be the one to discover a huge scandal that they're resorting to just making them up
This is exactly it. And they’re so dramatic about making the discovery.
1000%. It’s embarrassing how “offended” they’re acting over this when like ml are on the label!
Yes😂😂
First of all, how do they claim to be "die hard" and "Stan" for the brand and do not know it is a refillable package? Second, why is this jaw drop, scream and flail, can't finish my sentence drama worthy? Sooo annoying.
Ikr? Like, hey, its gonna be okay. You still have your receipt, yeah?
rage baiting
Click click click goes their nails against the product. Always click click click click click. It fuels the rage bait.
@@iciantheai hate it so much lmao i just block ppl 💀💀💀
Okay so shrinkflation is 1000% real and happening. It is annoying and we all hate it. BUT ALSO can people learn to read the amount of product they're buying OMFG!!! Be a smarter and more aware consumer! You'll save so much money by just reading how much of a product you're getting ffs
Unfortunately most of these tiktok girlies make enough money that they don't NEED to look at the bang for their buck, so we end up having to hear them whine about it
I feel like this is ignoring the fact that a majority of people don't have this knowledge and we should have more empathy for the people who don't know everything we do and shouldn't blame the people for being tricked and instead should blame companies for trying to trick people. Also plastic refillables containers are more wasteful than the original glass bottles so it's green washing.
@@bridgeotto3320 I get what you're saying. I agree with the waste part. But if I go to a restaurant and what I order is a bit smaller than I realized I'm not going to go onto social media and scream to high heavens about scams and deception. If size was a concern for you, do more research. Ask the waiter/employee how big the portion was, check the Google reviews and filter by size/portion/amount, etc. when you grow up privileged you dont learn how to read how much youre getting for your money. So frankly I don't feel bad for them bcuz this is not a blow to them in anyway. It's a minor inconvenience.
@@Cope.Seethe.We are privileged that we can understand these things, but there are a LOT of people who are not privileged to understand these concepts. Those people are who the deceptive marketing is for. You aren't being fooled? Wonderful! But let's recognize the people who are.
@@Cope.Seethe.Growing up privileged is being able to read and also understand oz, ml, etc. There are people who do not have the same level of education and experience as you. We should care about them too and not just blame them for being tricked just because we know better.
This “drama” just makes me miss the day when ppl were afraid to admit they were stupid. Bring back shame. 😂😂😂
Yes, I take my Ls in private tyvm 😂
I’m just going to start saying this when someone needs a reality check 😂 “Bring back shame” hahahahahha
😂😂😂really tho
Love that "bring back shame" 😂👏🏻!!
I hate when people act shocked about the amount of product they get when they buy something.
😂 They must be too rich because I'm always looking at ml/oz! It's weird how they're suprised about something they can easily find on the label.
This is why i don't buy random products unless i look at the fluid ounces/milliliter to see if the prices is worth it this is why i don't shop at sephora or these expensive department store cause they be charging outrageous prices for small amount product you get
Rich people experiencing shrinkflation for the first time lol
i always hate seeing in a bad review on ulta or sephora "i didnt think it was going to be so small for the price😡" They are not hiding the oz/ml, did you not bother to look? Lmao
exactly even the packaging is see through so you can see how much you are getting these people hurt my brain sometimes @@amy1160
@@amy1160exact people need to start paying attention to the writing on the package instead of relying on people opinion
Cutting hard boiled eggs in half with the shell on is UNHINGED. 😫🤢
Why? That way you can scoop out the egg with a small spoon
I always cut mine that way and use a small spoon to scoop out the egg.
Or you could just peel them??
@@fuunygurl10 but then I don’t need to spend time peeling it? I can go straight in with spoon.
@@fuunygurl10I’ll give them grace, some people are just…not skilled with peeling and they end up peeling the entire thing with the whites, so they spend so much time peeling than necessary.
James, you’ll only give yourself a headache trying to explain how refillable packaging works. 😂
😭😂😂
It's like those small businesses on tiktok who have to constantly explain how liquid displacement works to convince people that they aren't under filling their products 😭
@@emilyblenn oh my god yes I watch those poor small businesses have to show that when they put the application wands in with product fully filled they overflow out the top.
Makes me think if anyone went to school lol
@@whoahanant- Since the pandemic, a lot of people stopped going to school.
😂In all fairness, people have a understandably hard time properly envisioning how much "x" ML is when reading the packaging. A lot of people have certain impairments when it comes to visualising measurements. I for example cannot for the life of me invision distances via measurements.
Do I think people should be reading packaging and trying to truly understand what they're getting? Yes. Course I do.
Do I think GR understand that bulkier packaging around their actual product visually looks more appealing and customers are more likely to buy based on that misunderstanding? Also yes.
It's estimated that a significant portion of the population might struggle with spatial tasks to some degree/ have Spatial visualization difficulties.
(The fluid displacement stuff is just yeah...silly. :') )
imagine being a bug in that pile of grass and some idiot comes in and sprays you with alcohol water 😂😂
That would be great for this content. It kills bugs! If spraying it on a bug kills it, clearly spraying too much on your skin is CERTAIN DEATH 💀
At least the bug got to feel ✨bonita✨ for a second of its life before it ended
@@amandaseguin5278 jfsldfkjsfda thats a way to look at it
I can’t stop thinking about someone slicing a hard boiled egg with the shell on
Imagine the noise it makes when cutting it 😭
@@JamesWelsh why would you do this to me
@@JamesWelshit looks like they're not even cut right, it's cut so it's bottom heavy instead of lengthwise like you know... How everyone else in the world cuts hard-boiled eggs like you're making deviled eggs.
Makes my teeth hurt 😬
OMG, the grass spraying perfume experiment is so funny, it's like saying "GUYS gUyS, stop buying chocolate, it's toxic! LOOK WHAT IT DOES TO DOGS!!" Then when you feed your dog chocolate, they die-😭😭💀
Like, what did you expect. Chocolate is not made for dogs. Perfume is not made for grass. PERIOD.
It's idiotic. Almost seems like rage bait. There are a lot of things we can put in our bodies that will kill plants, that's to say nothing of chemicals we can put ON our skin.
But the question is: is perfume more environmentally friendly than say, Roundup? I might switch.
Exactly! I thought the same thing. Like, "Guys, oranges are poisonous, they made my cat sick!"
I was like "ARE YOU GRASS ????"
@@PrettykittychimiLiterally, lmao sure it ain’t made for grass but it can’t be good for me either. I’ll decrease or also switch tbh
This is the new gag on tiktok. People will compare their old packaging to the new packaging and show how the old packaging came with more product than the new one. Sometimes it's true, and sometimes it's not. It's just clickbait.
In this case though, James said it himself, it's 10ml less product with larger packaging...
@@bridgeotto3320Right! Or like with Milk Makeup. They used to have much larger tubes (think they were like 1 oz) and then they changed to have the minis (which I believe were 0.21 oz) be the full sizes so now full sizes are 0.21 oz - waaaaay less product for the same price…well, actually, they’ve increased the price a few times since those larger sized ones. Shrinkflation is real! Ofc some people showing things on TikTok might be lying and doing clickbait but it’s definitely a real thing.
This happens with food packaging too
All products are doing this for years, they’re just trying to see how much money they can make us spend on little products. Used to get 25 cheese slices in singles, now it’s just 20, same price less grams.
The acting from the first girl is cringey 😬
tbh social media influencers should really spend their revenue on acting lessons, they're all so bad
I’ve always like refillable versions of packaging. It’s cheaper than when you buy the first product and less waste. My mom and I have refillable perfumes.
Ohhh what refillable perfumes do you have? I have one but forgot the name haha
I wish micellar water was refillable im so sick and tire of buying plastic bottle of micellar water that i wish there a refill option just like cleansing oil
@@JamesWelshmine is Marc Jacobs and I forget which one my mom has
It's more waste though. This is greenwashing. The plastic refills go to the landfill at a faster rate than the pumps did, and the old bottles were recyclable.
@@bridgeotto3320it depends on the brand. I didn’t mention any in particular. At least with perfume it’s reusing your glass bottle.
I cannot stand when people say "its not even full" when theyre literally looking at something without a pump or anything inside of it.
My favorite brand CONSTANTLY gets "its not even full" comments because she does lipgloss filling videos, and you have to leave room for the wand to fit, so ofcourse its not filled to the brim. People really struggle with displacement😂😂😂 she constantly puts out videos where she shows what happens when she "fills it fully" and fills it to the top. Its ugly, every single time.😂
It is boggling, fluid displacement is a concept we just learn naturally because we encounter it frequently. Do they just flood their bathroom floor every time they take a bath? Or do they think gallons of water overflowing when they get in is just unavoidable...
@@LunarEleven LMAO!
I've seen those video's with Kiki lol people are idiots 😅
I've encountered a couple of items in make up actually that overflow and then everyone's upset that there's product coming out. Like, please 🙏😭😂
I used to work in one of those fancy olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting bars. Staff were supposed to be the ones filling bottles, but we had them out and accessible, so some customers would grab them and fill their own right up to the top, then come to me and be like, "my cork doesn't fit!". Yeah, no shit Sherlock, Archimedes' Principle. This was an incredibly frequent experience. Don't even get me started on the people who would complain that our product was bad because the olive oil and balsamic separated when mixed.
Cutting a hard boiled egg with the shell on is absolute goblin behavior 😂
My roommate was spamming me messages about how all my products were "toxic" and I had to explain to her that even "natural" things like apples have cyanide in them, and that the volume and method of which you absorb a chemical matters when it comes to how your body will process it and react.
Literally, like how people need a certain level of iron in their system to prevent anemia, but that doesn't mean you can just go taking bites out of a bar of iron to fulfill your daily iron intake
Exactly. Like even water is dangerous at a certain level
Like Dr Mike likes to say: the dose makes the poison
Perfume is literally alcohol mixture, what did they expecting? 😂 Maybe decrease intake of alcohol and it will increase levels of sanity
vodka would do the same thing
And fragrance, isn’t most of it plant-based??
Its that person who didn't understand what airless pumps were all over again.
I understand when products seem overpriced, but half the time people forget you’re also paying for packaging and any other resources that go into making that and getting it on the shelves
James saying 'touch wood' and tapping his own head 💀🤣
😅
I've only seen people do this when they say "knock on wood" before lol
I do that too hahah
I do it too when I can’t find wood…. I don’t know where or why I started doing it 😆
I do that and say "hairy wood is best" and no idea where that saying came from🤷♀️🤣
What frustrates me about TikTok, is that sometimes it will automatically apply the filter when I start filming. So if I’m not being hyper aware, I’ll accidentally upload and notice afterwards. It’s so annoying
Yeah I’ve heard this!! Especially their old fashioned beauty mode!
12:08 me too. i’ve used filters for years, and just recently i stopped because im tired of not feeling pretty when i take a random picture. my brain has already started becoming so much healthier after just a short time so please everyone consider taking at least a few pics with your regular cameras 💖
I never use filters because I don't want to forget what I actually look like. I don't really look into mirrors that often because I'm too likely to start picking my face and I wear glasses so I'm blind half the time.😂 Pics have let me follow myself losing weight. It shows me how I look naturally and I love the old school unfiltered look of candid/posing pics❤
Clearly these glow recipe people havent used their plum moisturizer, its the same thing, a plastic tub that snaps into the glass packaging😂😂 its refillable and they advertise it.
The reason why I love your channel so much (in addition to your funny and outgoing personality), is how you are not afraid to call out BS from social media, and then you would also proceed to give the reason why they are BS, and I find that very educational, packaged in an entertaining way.
Thank you so much 🥹
And he knows so much!! 🤯
TikTok makes me tired in my soul.
same
Me too, but yet I watch it.
Cutting boiled eggs with the shell on is not ok. I think that makes me more upset than the stupid glow recipe people who can’t read the mLs on a bottle. 🤦🏼♀️
Genuine question - why, what's wrong with that? My fanily used to cut the top of eggs off through the shell all the time? We then eat the egg with a tea spoon.
@@jannirian2164 That's how you eat a soft boiled egg. There are egg cups and utensils specifically made for those. I've never in my life heard of someone cutting through the shell of a hard boiled egg. I imagine you'd never get all the eggshell bits off of it. Ick!
I'am sure this is ragebaiting. The content is not that interesting but they will put some details (non conventional things) that will push you to interact. Hate those kind of contents.
Only time I’ve seen that you cut an egg in half shelled is fermented eggs for the shell is hardened and is super hard to peel. So cut and scoop.
Those eggs looked super jagged and messy. I’m way past that part of the video and it’s still bugging me.
The amount of product is written on the packaging. What is wrong with the world?! U don't pay for what it "looks like" cos that's subjective. You pay for the actual amount.
Your skin is literally ✨M E S M E R I Z I N G✨no joke-😭😭
Thank you! It’s the lighting 🤭
Exactly what I was going to say too!
Like a glazed donut. Perfection 🤩
@@JamesWelsh Thank you for genuinely reminding people that
Obviously, handsome, love, no shade... But... Seriously? It kinda looks like a bottle of cooking oil accidentally spilled over his face :)
Cacao is the raw cocoa plant. Cocoa is the processed version.
the spelling just seems illegal lmao
@andiebear1515 🤣 yeah, my boyfriend thought I was saying it wrong cuz he didn't realize cocoa and cacao are different things. Dude just thought I was stupid, and never said anything🤣🤣🤣
The claim that a lash product giving you cavities will never be not funny 😭😭
I had to pause at that one and reread it a couple times bc I was sure I had to be misreading it
This isn't necessarily about filtering photos, but it's related and I wanted to talk about it.
I (for context, I'm a woman) graduated from high school last year, and naturally part of the process was an up to 30min professional photoshoot to celebrate the occasion. Photos were taken in November, we got the proofs, put in our order and got the final prints in April iirc. I've struggled with acne as most teenagers do, but it had largely cleared up by the time I was in Grade 11 (16/17 here in Canada). The only real "imperfections" is some uneven tone, my freckles and a couple beauty marks/moles. One under my right eye, and a couple on my neck (those I've nicknamed my vampire bite because they're right next to each other and look like a classic European vampire bit me).
A couple days after we got the final prints of my graduation photos, I realized they'd edited my beauty mark and vampire bite out of all the photos. I wasn't happy about it. I loved those marks, and it felt like the photos weren't really of me anymore. It was surreal in a way.
My mom had asked for the photos to be touched up, but she anticipated them to just smooth out my skin tone, maybe lessen the appearance of acne scars, not completely take out three prominent marks. And in the process of finding this out and looking into reordering, she found that it seemed the company the school used for the photoshoots would have taken the marks out either way, which made me even more disappointed. These photos are to celebrate _my_ accomplishment, not make me fit a beauty standard I don't want to.
Sorry for the novel, I just wanted to share the story. And thank you if you actually read this far lol
my grad pics were edited as well
9:21 I would not trust anyone who cuts their eggs like that…especially someone giving beauty advice
My god james your skin lately is REALLY skinning❤ holy cow it looks amazing
Thanks! It’s the lighting I think 😅
oh no don't underestimate your efforts! good lighting alone wouldn't make the skin look so gorgeous ♡
@JamesWelsh it's literally looks like a glazed doughnut 😭💖🤌
@JamesWelsh nah, id look like a hairy monster in your lighting🤣
The whole use of photos of those in medical professions to make false claims is terrifying. A photo and claim could trace back to said person and ruin their career, when they had no idea that their photo has been used...!
The perfume experiment reminds me of the methods MLMs use to prove their product is safer than other products.
I'm a lash artist, and sadly can confirm, we do gatekeep big tiddy bee pollen secrets 👀😔🤣
🤣
I knew it! 🐝
The glow recipe "drama" wasn't a drama. People just don't pay attention when buying things, which is fine, but don't blame the company because you didn't do your due diligence before purchasing. I always price-compare products and see how much I'm getting before I purchase because I live paycheck to paycheck and have to budget to get myself the skincare I like. I understand why they felt misled but it felt very silly to me. I'm curious to know how much the glass Glow Recipe bottle can hold without the refillable portion. I imagine it can't be that much more product but I am probably wrong. Your skin looks SO stunning by the way!
People always wanna blame others when they’re just dumb and/or ignorant
I guess it's a good thing that grass doesn't wear perfume, then.
TikTok is dumb.
I cannot deal with this kind of stupid anymore….. I really can’t do it.
The lack of critical thinking just makes my head hurt… 😵💫
The block button and I have become besties ever since these spam accounts selling bullshit have started popping up on my fyp
I never understand people who get upset by how much they get in a product when it literally says online and on the package how many ml it is. Idk, even if I was upset I don’t know if I would post myself online saying "I’m upset because I can’t read the package."
Cutting the eggs with the shell HAS to be rage bait. Like getting more people to comment on it for engagement. No one cuts their eggs like that 😅
I destroyed my skin a few months before my wedding in 2015, doing Pinterest diy skincare. The olive oil caused a terrible reaction and broke my skin out all over my face. Afterwards I learned that most of the olive oil at grocery stores are actually a mix of mystery oils. Went to a dermatologist and got some topical antibiotics, that thankfully did the trick 😭
There's plenty to criticize the glow recipe moisturizer set up for ('refillable' but you're just getting a new plastic cartridge and plastic isn't actually as recyclable as we've been told, its an excessively large jar for the amount of product, etc) but like. They couldn't make it more clear that its a cartridge online if they tried. I wish I could say its just people going 'I can go viral on bs ragebait' and that may infact be what's going on, but I've seen enough people genuinely thinking like this that it may very well be a real reaction.
More people need to call these "eco friendly" brands out for this new greenwashing attempt they're pulling. Especially since, ecologically speaking, their old set up was better. At least glass doesn't break down into microplastics and can be recycled or ground into silicone sand. Sure, you aren't tossing the pumps, which would be great if they didn't also make the refills smaller so there's even more plastic going to landfill than before. And people are eating this up! Because these companies have successfully guilted them into thinking they're the issue, when it's really these companies creating most of the mess.
Thank you for being a sane voice in a sea of crazy.it's so nice to just watch your videos and get a real advocate so we are aware of what is going on❤
Never trust someone because they have the right 'uniform'. We sell scrubs ans lab coats where I work. We do zero checks to see if tge client is actually working in a medical environment.
Just like when I bought mechanic's overalls to work on my car, there were no skill testing questions.
I do that touch wood motion constantly; even if what I’ve thought or said would be highly unlikely to do anything to the world at large, I just refuse to chance the energy hitting something haha.
Love how the more you are you, the more we deeply learn. My life has genuinely improved from content made by you and those most like you, the ones that **TRY**. And that care. The concern shows and matters, it builds trust.
I've been following you for a couple (few?) years now and definitely noticed the shift in content. I appreciate the efforts to focus on education and debunking misinformation, while still giving us some good product reviews now and then. ❤
A comment on something you quickly touched on - Refill sachets are notoriously impossible to recycle. Soft plastics need really specific processing. Although the solid pods feel like more plastic, they can be recycled far more efficiently and require a lot less energy.
Ahhhh yeah thayd what I thought. A lot of people seem to think they’re the better option for some reason!
0:19 i thought it was a pair of earrings 😂
😂😂
skskksk I CANNOT we KNOW in advance when buying it that it is refillable! What are these people expecting?
The packaging from years ago resulted in so much waste. You are getting the SAME amount of product and the refills are cheaper! I absolutely cannot with these overdramatic TikTok people. Yet I'm addicted to the drama when James brings it to me 🤣
This is also generating a lot of waste? The glass bottles were recyclable, and glass waste is a lot better for the environment (and for us as like... living beings) than the new plastic refills are. By putting less in there, people are throwing a lot more of these away than they were if the non-recyclable parts of the old bottle. It's greenwashing, and y'all are falling for it hook, like, and sinker.
@@transsnack EXACTLY thankyou! The refillable skincare/makeup trend is just a marketing tactic to make consumers feel less guilty about consuming unnecessary crap they don't actually need. If these brands actually cared about the environment, they wouldn't encourage over-consumption, micro trends, and 12 step skincare routines in the first place.
@@transsnack thin plastic using a minimum quantity to encapsulate the product (and it’s recyclable anyways) is much MUCH greener than heavy glass being recycled on the same basis. Do you know how much energy transporting and recycling glass takes?
Regarding the filters, I really hate how a filter is automatically put on without selecting it. I have a larger nose, I have no issue with it because it’s the right size for my face. However, every single filter makes my nose smaller! I do wonder how I’d feel about my nose if I’d had this when I was younger.
Im glad you call this stuff out. It’s so important for the younger generations to see.
I'm following you for quite some time.
From when you were reviewing skin care to now.
I absolutely love and admire your development as a beauty influencer, James.
I always loved your no BS content. And I learned so much about skin care from you.
So I want to thank you, James!
Keep on your great work! xxx ❤
I’m literally on the website and it says refillable in the description lol totally get why people are confused but I do enjoy refillable packaging but for the price it’s crazy.
I’m assuming just buying the refills of the glow recipe product once you’ve paid for the bottle and pump will work out cheaper in the long run. Yes it’s annoying when a brand (not just skincare) reduces the amount of product you get for the same price, but it’s happening everywhere and they aren’t hiding the quantity.
James looks fabulous in this video, his skin is GLOWING💜💜💜
They legally can't hide the quantity. What they can do is deceptive marketing of making the packaging larger and green washing to pretend they're eco friendly when they're actually just contributing more plastic waste and providing less product.
Thank you for being a voice of reason- so refreshing!
I really stick to this channel for two or three years because content is changing and it is keep me interested. All new series are great to watch! I really appreciate a lot of work that James do for us 🤗 Thank you so much James 🎉
I’m confused on how they’re confused when the box literally says “refillable” 😭 and as a “glow recipe stan” i feel like it’s not that hard to look at the mls/ozs
The gift of logical thinking has not giving to some people….
i'm so grateful my friend recommended lab muffin to me and thru her i found you and all the other creators doing their best to educate because i did fall for the clean beauty/lifestyle bullshit. i don't hate myself for it, i'm disabled and the clean industry loves to prey on us because we're usually lost on how to feel as decent as possible day-to-day. but now i've revived my love for science so thanks a bunch!!❤
😍🍉thank you so much for your detailed review - so informative as always! Your insights into the packaging and design choices, like the air gap required for the pump to fit, are so spot on. Sustainability is incredibly important to us and we're taking ongoing steps to be better every day. We're so thankful for your support!
As someone with rosacea, that olive oil and sugar combo got me 😅😅😅
🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀🤦♀ omg we live in a world of stupid people
We appreciate your honesty, knowledge and integrity James 💜
I love that there is someone like you that I can trust to be honest about products and other content creators and call out the bullshit. 😊
I literally discovered your channel yesterday and have been binging your vids
I will say that as a consumer, glow recipe's new product packaging isn't really good so I can see why people are upset about it. You're buying more packaging and making as well as recycling glass produces more carbon in the air. Basically that's very bad, glow recipe really didn't need to make a glass holder for the refills and instead just stuck to a smaller packaging. Allison Turquoise on youtube, tiktok, and instagram works in cosmetic packaging and I believe she has covered this issue.
Yes, that's the real problem here! They're just wasting packaging while also confusing consumers. Just sell the small bottle made with recyclable material.
I'm more shocked that people don't read the label
I love that the real doctors and chemists and skincare science brains are supporting you, I'm so glad to hear it- we are all proud of you I'm sure 😃The 'baffled and angered by a pod inside a bottle' people need to read how many mils/fluid ounces they're getting before buying, who doesn't do that?!
The clean beauty 'experiments' make me so annoyed, because humans are not plants! It like when these same people claim that the sun is good for you and doesn't give you cancer because plants don't get cancer. We're not plants!
My only question about the glow recipe thing is how much waste does this actually reduce? Because they're charging you a lot to come across as an ecofriendly company, and I'm not sure how well they're actually doing that. Other than the pump, which is a good step forward, the refill bottle is still thick looking plastic and those are going into the garbage faster than the full bottles did because they put less in there. It's a scam, just not the one people think it is, and it's completely legal for them to do that.
There’s a lot of “refillable” packaging in skin care at the moment but it’s really additional packaging as it’s putting pots in pots or bottles in bottles.
How many people will buy the refillable bottle then never refill it as they’ve moved onto a different product? That’s doubled the waste.
And as you say if customers do repurchase, they sell the refills in smaller packaging so it needs to be bought more, increasing waste.
It’s marketing to appear eco friendly and for customers to feel like they are helping
@@Vonononieit's blatant greenwashing, and I'm kinda surprised he didn't catch that.
I appreciate your honesty James thank you ❤
Loving the quality of your recent videos James! The extra clips and copy throughout is a nice touch and engaging 💜
James skin is glowing so much that it could be a brand called James Glow skincare 😂❤
James glowing like a glazed donut.
The glow recipe story seem's like an, " Anything could get me noticed, but I don't want to think". Post to me. More worried about the fake Dr's then anything. Thanks for you hard work. 💜🖤
My beauty routine is pretty basic 😜 but I love your videos. You’re clever, witty, and have that special ability to give information in a fun, clear way.
What concerns me is how easily some absurd claims are believed; the inability to just read a label for amounts; the total lack of critical thinking. Etc.
So it’s great you’re here doing what you do! It’s needed.
I have stumbled upon that nurse video, I am a chemist though, so I just laughed so hard 😂 Do these people know the cost of lead and mercury? That would be more than the lash princess or the maybelline mascara
Youre telling me people dont read measurements? When i see a product i compare the price to the ml.
Just a reminder, not everyone has the same level of education and experience. Good for you that you can recognize these things, but there are many people who don't know about this stuff and we should recognize that.
It's hilarious that people are losing mind over the glow recipe 'new' packaging. The company ain't lying to you about the amount of product they have in their packaging. They did indicate the milliliters clearly. If they only get 30ml of product out of 50ml, then go ahead, be mad about it. This clearly isn't the case.
"it's not even full" girl if it's full where's the pump gonna go 😭they gotta leave space for the pump 😭(i can tell these ppl never reused packaging or transfer product to like travel size packaging, bc the amount of times i accidentally filled the bottle too much and spilled things everywhere when i tried to screw the pump in, too many times 🤣too many times for me to count)
the first one is so dumb? the millilitres is written on the packaging. doesn’t really matter what the bottle looks like? 😭
There's the problem. Asking an influencer to * gasp * _read_
@@Phantomphan613 good point 💀
they'd probably say it wasn't accurate, sigh
The Glow Recipe drama is the skincare equivalent to people complaining about chip/crisp bags being filled with more air than chips. 😂
Actually it's more like buying a bag of chips and finding out it's 2 oz less than what it used to be while being the same size and price. Or a box of cheez-its increasing the box size while putting 2 oz less.
im so thankful for your videos :'( i just got broken up with and live him him and am still trying to take care of my skincare, you give me motivation
I cannot exfoliate before/during cleansing! It makes me feel like I’m “grinding in” all the dirtiness on my face.
1:06 i thought it was very common sense it look very obvious when try it at sephora
Tik tok hurts my brain. Its so full of lies and terrible information
I'm not going to lie, I wouldn't feel scammed by Glow recipe because at the end of the day I got the amount of product advertised - but can we address the amount of bullshit shrinkflation and green washing we've been getting served by the beauty industry? This is just ridiculous. I would be more upset about the stupid design of that bottle. The previous one was more eco friendly honestly. Why is there no option for a refill pouch instead? Why bother buying the whole thing? Just get the refill atp. It's really giving Kim SKKN refill, but it's more ✨aesthetic✨ so people aren't up in arms about it.
Watching your videos has made me more aware and I am now very careful of what products I buy. Thankyou for that.
The clean beauty thing annoys me most when they are overly-concerned for clean beauty but not even slightly bothered about the food/drink they consume.
Thank you for addressing the olive oil scrub!!! I have eczema. My skin is renewing itself in a few days. For my treatment to reach live skin, I have to exfoliate ridiculously often. I actually use the olive oil scrub, because my skin is so dry. And STILL, with my very pathological skin I wash it off with a gentle cleanser. Although I never break out, my skin is behaving better if I don't leave it on. If my skin doesn't like it (and it craves oil!) nobody's skin will do too well. And leaving a coat of sugar on skin sounds like bacteria etc are having a party, especially yeasts. I am not so sure it is a good idea to skip the cleansing.
All your hard work and effort is definitely not unnoticed!
The most shocking thing in this video is the fact that people cut hard boiled eggs with the shell on
