SHEIN STEALS PEOPLE'S ARTWORK! There is a girl from Pakistan who created a painting, shared it on social media and then Shein copied her artwork like EXACT COPY and sold it on their website. She called them out but sadly, nothing is done against them....yet.
There's not much she can do. Most of the time nothing happens to protect people's art from being used and sold on cheap websites like that. Just look at how many sites and people have stolen Pixiecold's and JoJoes' artworks.
I work at Goodwill and we get a ton of Shein clothes and I hate it. My main problem alongside the problem with fast fashion is they've had their clothes tested several times...and pretty much every time there were products with twice the legal amount of Lead in clothing allowed in The United States.
This is true and it is a problem for Goodwill. Working there and sorting and just finding brand new Shein tops and bikini's and so on its just a mess to deal with.
@@griffinroblox73 lead is in lots of dyes especially in Shein clothing and some have highly dangerous amounts that can cause little to severe health problems. Check google and see all he facts it’s actually pretty interesting considering nobody really thinks of the problems that can happen just with wear clothes and having certain chemicals on them it’s something to watch for.
I balance out my use of fast fashion retailers by wearing stuff for years. Don't care if it's out of style, I'm not going to stop wearing it! And if there is stuff I get rid of I take it to charity shops (luckily I live in a place with loads of those) and if it's worn out they can recycle it. I have found some nice things second hand, both in charity shops and on ebay, so I mix those things into my wardrobe.
I have clothes I bought 10 years ago and still wear them. If there is something I don't fit anymore or don't wear I donate it to people I know will or can fit them.
This. My mom gets angry when I spent $70 on a pair of leg warmers but it’s sustainable and it means I’m going to wear them for 5+ years before I think of donating them. I also tend to buy a lot of fast fashion stuff all at once so I can use those clothes for the next 2 years and only buy new clothes when I think something is a must in my closet or I need something new to style my current selection of clothes. My mom likes to buy clothes for me and although I appreciate it, I usually don’t wear them and a lot of money is wasted because of it. I don’t need anything more when I can mix and match my pieces into multiple outfits with different themes, you’re just feeding into fast fashion when you do that :/
@@3thalluing339 patches or keeping aside a old pair of jeans or some sort of fabric is a great way to repair them so you can keep them if it’s like a pair of jeans that are super comf!! I’m a chunky girl and that’s what I do to literally everything!!
What I found suspicious is that every item has good reviews / stars . One day an item had like lots of 1 star reviews and the other day they all disappeared .. pretty sure they are deleting bad reviews lol
LOVE that you considered all sides of this and everyone's circumstances! So many TH-camrs and influencers talk down to people and judge for why people buy cheap, fast fashion without understanding that for some it's not the choice of habitually buying to follow trends, it's neccessity. An honest and refreshing take on Shein (and other companies) ❤❤❤
There is another negative aspect to Shein, behind these cheap clothes there is often exploitation, slave labor, and child labor. Behind these cheap cosmetics is the suffering of the animals on which they test them. It is worth bearing in mind.
@@infinitebudgie Nah I’m sure she knows.. which is why she said in the video that she longer purchases from them. It was a huge thing in media and Rae isn’t stupid.
In addition to the shein controversy, they are currently one of the only big "retailers" that cater to plus size fashion and clothing for relatively reasonable prices. Plus size women in particular get the scraps when it comes to the fashion industry or are made to dress borderline matronly even while young bc retailers only make clothes that are unflattering and covering up. Even outside of just following trends, Shein is virtually the only place plus size people can realistically find clothes to dress how they want. (Though even that is drawing to a close with how many straight sized and midsized people are buying up plus size shein clothing for the "oversized" looked, so much so that 0x,1x,2x sizing on the site has started to cater to relatively midsized people and fit them better, but that's a whole other issue)
@@chemoheterotroph there's 170 million children used in child labor, across the entire fashion industry for the supply chain for the USA, Canada, and Europe. It would be impossible to boycott every retailer associated with some form of child or underpaid labor. I'm very aware of the evils of fast fashion, and especially when it comes to SheIn. I'm not defending them, I'm simply offering a point of view of why a lot of people still buy from them even if they don't like them as a company, myself included. Options are limited for people who are poor or considered "other".
@@MisseryMoth I'm not even that overweight but often can't find clothes in my size, it is like sizes are ment for kids, not adults. I agree that it can make you want to cry😣
I wouldn't suggest using the brush cleaner for drying your brushes on the side 13:15 . Drying them like that will make water drip into the farrow and could damage the glue holding the bristles on beneath the metal.
Well, if you have said pens, expose it to a direct source of heat, that’s all. No fancy erasers needed. As the name says, friction is the needed factor for erasing.
Very true. And also I think it really does come down to the person aswell. I mean the things I’ve gotten off shein over the years I still love and wear, instead of fast fashion I shop more for things I genuinely will get a lot of wear of instead of what’s trendy.
@@keiththebookie4423 haha same! I bought a pair of sweat pants from SHEIN like 3 years ago and I had to replace the drawstring because I lost it but I love the pants😂
the "gel pen erasers" are for those pens that are or are like the "Pilot Frixion Pointball erasable pens" (aka those Pilot pens every school kid had in 2014 because they were "cool" again at that point lmao) it's a bummer that they didn't specify that it was ment for erasable gel ink and not normal gel ink otherwhise it probably wouldve saved Rae a lot of confusion lol
There also erasable ballpoint ink pens that this might have worked on, but it's a type of ink that unlike the erasable frixons sit on top of the paper instead of sinking into it like the frixon type pens.
I'll also add that when it comes to erasable pens, i know the pilot ones have erasers on the end of the pens, so I find getting separate erasers to be kind of... Useless? Maybe other brands dont have them though, idk
You want to know why everything is suspiciously 5 stars? They have a wide influencer net where they send free clothes for a 5 star rating. I know a couple of people who do it. THey spend half their day trying on clothes, taking photos and writing reviews, even if they dont like something. Also sometimes the stuff they send the influencers is not the same that they sell, but you got a review of it
Ratings are literally just a marketing ploy these days it’s awful. I wish there were regulations preventing shady companies like shein from abusing ratings.
@@annapruitt5546 yes! there is a point system and the the more points the more you can save money 1 point = .1 cent to get points you can review products or you can praticape in like live videos and make outfits on servant themes
I would like to point out that not all of us buy cheap clothes and throw them away in three weeks because of fashion. Some of us buy from places like Shein and wear the clothes until we physically cant anymore. Then what I do ot take the fabric and use it for something else. So, if people took a little personal responsibility sometimes and didnt throw clothes away after three weeks just because the fashion changes and instead wear them until they actually wear out enough to even throw away in the first place, or maybe instead of throwing them away they donate them. Then it would probably be a little more sustainable. And this is not a dog at you Rae I know where you're coming from, I more mean the that the people talking about them like they are a big problem and have all the responsibility, when their shoppers have partial responsibility for not being so wasteful of their clothes. I mean, idk how rough everyone is with their clothes but most of the time if I buy even cheap clothes they last at least a year or two. 🤷♀️
Yeh, I adore some of the skirts I've gotten from romwe (they came in shein bags) and I've worn out the hoodies Ive gotten from their till they're kinda disgusting and stained (only wear those at home now) I don't have the money for cute clothes from sustainable sites, and cheaper clothes in stores are just mostly not to my liking..SheIn and romwe just have a lot of options for cheap, tho you have to be careful not to get crap quality, a lot of the stuff I've gotten I still use a year or more later
I get so confused about the people who are like "it's out of fashion I have to get rid of it!" Like???? The only time I got rid of clothing was when I couldn't fit in it anymore or it literally fell apart. Like I've got clothing I bought 10+ years ago I'm still wearing to this day. Maybe it's different when you're plus size and you don't have the luxury of buying new clothing willy-nilly so you have to make your shit last. 🤣
Another reason why Shein is crap and just overall a shady business: They say they don't use child labor but does not the full supply chain disclosure. They also made false statements and some (or maybe all) of their factories are located in the Uyghur region of China where many factories there do forced labor.
I’m so happy to hear you speak about sustainability. My daughter has been running clothing swaps for 8 years now. She is based out of Thailand because it’s where she happens to live. So happy people in the states are getting on board.
btw rae those 'gel pen' erasers are actually for friction pens, they use a special type of ink that can be 'erased' (they actually just turn white) after applying heat through friction or any other way (like using a blow dryer)
I just recently discovered your channel, and let me just say: your art is absolutely amazing! You have a wonderful personality, and are extremely skilled at drawing. You are so inspirational, so I would just like to say thank you! You inspire me to draw more, and to draw better. ❤
Hi Rae! Aside from the fast fashion stuff, Shein also steals. They rip off designs from smaller artists for their clothes. A lot of small fashion designer's work have been outright stolen by Shein and sold for cheap. That's all I wanted to say, thanks so much for this video!! Enjoyed it as usual. Take care! Love you always ❤❤❤
Thank you for talking about Shein controversy in this video. It's a great reminder you put there, also yes, Salem Tovar's video has the best take on the Shein situation. ^^
I completely agree with you about production, but I do have to add that I’ve kept my clothing from shein for years and it still looks good. You have to get used to knowing what to buy and look heavily at reviews. I think shein is great if you take care of your things, and I hope others can become more educated about this. Their production in mass is hurtful to the environment in a lot of ways, but can be reduced by the user
Kudos for calling out Shien as n to just being cheap and nasty but AWFUL for the environment. I see so many haul and react videos that don’t acknowledge or address it, and in fact just perpetuates more Shien buying with more hauls or reacts. 🙌🏼 And shame about scratch pad missing, immediate happy childhood memories!!!
Sad you're leaving New Mexico, but glad you're getting out of that PART OF New Mexico. Hopefully the place you're going has more than just a HOLY BOBBY for art supplies!
I thought you were from NM due to the sweatshirt in one video. I wish the state had more to offer I see other TH-camrs that go to different stores and I'm like dang. I know IKEA will never build here not a big enough population apparently. My parents moved to AZ and they have such a variety.
I live in a small town in a 3rd world country and a lot of the online fast fashion debate seems so superficial to me because it's mostly privileged people trying to give alternatives that are only possible in their reality. There aren't any thrift stores where I live and I'd rather buy three fast fashion t-shirts that are going to last for years bc they will cost me as much as the shipping for one t-shirt from a local ethically made brand. It's important to understand that most of the clothes we all wear are made that way. Yes, even if it's high quality. Boycotting a handful of online stores is not gonna change anything, the focus should be on how the internet has made consumerism look even more desirable and how influencer culture creates "trends" that don't even reach real life people before going away. The influencers who rely on making clothing/makeup hauls for a living either make the money back or don't even pay for the products to begin with. The strawberry dress (even though the original is not from a fast fashion brand) and ball gown hauls are two examples of unnecessary consumerism that really intrigue me. Also, most of the people who can only afford fast fashion are not just throwing away their clothes once they stop being trendy and aren't getting their everyday clothes from places like Shein or Zara. There's no problem in buying clothes just because you think they look cool, as long as you're actually going to wear them in the future.
It does do something though? I understand where you're getting at and where you're at, but i know many stores online that sell stuff for cheap without using child labour and stolen art. It's not for me. Boycotting it will stop the online store. It really does do something
That brush cleaning bucket/palette is for sale on aliexpress for about 3 to 5 dollars lol I'm willing to bet that Shein just buys their stuff on aliexpress and then resells it for more
No, it's pretty much just the same thing as Wish and Aliexpress and is based in China also, so they don't have to buy and resell from Aliexpress they just use the same suppliers.
2:07. I'm pausing the video here to say one thing about the statement made at about this point in the video. You see, a lot of influencers who are promoting "green living" like to push the idea that you vote with your dollar - you only buy from businesses that are "green". You only fund companies that are doing the "best" for the environment. This is really hard to do if you don't have a lot of money - at least in my local area a product is labelled as "environmentally friendly" and suddenly the price doubles. Its important to acknowledge that not everyone can afford to look somewhere else, and may be forced to turn to places like Shein just to afford the basics when it comes to clothing. Also, I don't know about anyone else, but thrift shops (or what I have always known as second-hand stores) are super expensive in my area. The same leggings I can get for $6 a piece in the supermarket are $12, or sometimes higher in these stores that are supposed to have better prices.
Its like when everyone was going on and on about organic food and then all the companies started releasing organic food for twice the price. People start off genuinely concerned only to end up the new trendy cash cow. It's my opinion that if someone truly wants to be "eco friendly" then they should learn to sew and begin to make and mend their own clothing instead of buying any fashion. That's the best way to not participate in fast fashion and keep extra clothing out of landfills.
@@AlottaBoulchit but then you have to factor in time to learn a new skill, time to sew the garments, cost of materials. And unless the fabric is thrifted, there’s issues with slave labor and cotton, and the micro plastics that shed when using synthetic fiber fabrics. There isn’t such a thing as “truly eco friendly “ with the current systems in place. (Not saying clothes making is bad btw. Just offering a different perspective).
@@fibromiteready2fight809 I'm literally trying to learn to sew my own clothes rn and cost of materials is more than you'd think 🙃 I don't even have everything I need, and I'm fortunate enough to have a hand-me-down sewing machine, but I already spent more than $100. If I want to tie dye or further modify what I make, that's more cost. Luckily I work at a thrift store as well with a 50% discount so I'm saving the most I can really. But without all that, I can imagine it to be quite hard for people who are on a budget and don't have the means to afford it all. I think the solution to that would be to make sure people have enough money to be able to purchase sustainably and ethically by providing for other needs such as food and housing and making them low cost or providing subsidies. But that's the socialist in me speaking lol
@@feelinglostinthepeople exactly. The pressure should not be on the consumer, but the government. We should all be able to easily access the basic necessities like food, water, etc. And have money to do things like make clothes or buy sustainable items. I want to go to F.I.T, and in preparation (and because I like making garments) I want to start sewing. And wow, materials are expensive. Especially if they’re oekotex certified, or recycled. It’s not a budget friendly hobby upfront, and that deters a lot of people from learning. It’s so frustrating :( .
This is actually a phenomenal way to explain why cheap spending is not worth it without making people feel pushed into anything. Its a real experience, and advice that is helpful without making others hear they are doing bad or need to choose better or else. Its refreshing and more valuable then many intentions articulate
I’ve been watching your channel for a couple years now and you have motivated me to keep going. The progress you have made with your art is amazing, you are such a big inspiration
"You make your own fashion" very well said. I have been using some clothes since 2017-18 ig and I love them. And yeah even bought some new recently (which I'm going to wear for 4-5 years lol)
We stan a creator with integrity! Thank you SO MUCH for talking about how problematic sites like Shein are and taking a stand by pledging not to buy from them or do these videos anymore. I usually make a point to not even watch videos about Shein, Wish, Romwe, etc. hauls, but I love your videos so I made an exception with this one and I'm glad I did. Keep up the great work, Rae!🖤
Another reason I dont support Shein,besides the cheap quality fast fashion issue, is that every week I see more and more artits about how their art is being stolen and printed on shirts or stolen for enamel pins.
I actually buy thrifted and cheap clothes. Most of my clothes nowadays are found on Discount racks at stores like Walmart, but I would never EVER use these types of sites like Wish and Shein for fast fashion much less anything else. Plus when I see something that I know I'll wear frequently I have a tendency to buy multiples so I don't have to buy for quite sometime. Anyway, Shein is known for stealing people's stuff and making it theirs plus what you receive in the mail is NOTHING like advertised. One of my friends bought this pretty looking dress I was considering and it was NOWHERE near the post. Shein is one of the places you got to be careful.
Who else watches Rae because she is funny and lovable?? I found your channel a couple months ago and I can’t stop binge watching every video!! 😁 Keep up the good work!☺️
Ok disclaimer, I have never purchased from shein. Although after this video I think that the company is kind of a manipulative company. Here me out how are they making horrible quality products that catch the eye of those who want to be “popular.” Which is probably run by people who know that people can be self conscious and worried about how they look and are trying to fit in by buying popular products to hopefully feel better about themselves. And they somehow come with thousands of wonderful reviews. It don’t work like dat!
I've bought things with no reviews so idk I dont think they buying all the reviews but as someone who shares shein account with my whole family the website gives you points that take money off your next purchase if you review. Points for rating it in stars, more points for talking about why you rated it or putting photos. They are smart cause they make you want to review to get the points so you can buy even more
Chia is absolutely precious! Also I have to say I absolutely love your art Rae. It's amazing that you work so hard for all of us! Love your content,your art and just everything! Edit- Also I had dropped drawing as no one really cared about it or anything but you've inspired me to start over❤️
Your art can be solely for you. Not for others. No one else has to care about it. Doing things for yourself and doing things just because you enjoy it is much more important than what anyone else thinks.
It makes me so happy to see someone else like me ( art supply nerd ) .. to make myself feel better I tell people I collect art supplies... Makes me sound less crazy ....
Part the reason the reviews are rating the things so highly is because of how cheap they are, people never expect hardly anything, so when it’s got something it’s more surprising than if it was the same quality but a higher price you’d be disappointed
Girl, you can make absolutely amazing art in the most trash of materials - you're an incredible artist! Thank you for the review...it's always nice to be able to find art supplies at a steal of a price but it's really only a steal if it's worth it, not if you have to toss it in the trash.
I recently discovered your videos and am going through them all. I love your style and your art and the way your videos are put together and are edited. I love you. Thanks for what you do! Keep it up girl.
hello! i recently started watching you and i know this was made 2 years ago, but, shein is mostly for clothes! and clothes from shein are really good quality because i've bought them and also recommend them, but yeah thats all i wanted to say.
Lol your mannerisms are so cute, this vid was very interesting! Had no idea Shein had art supplies. Also so glad you talked about the awareness we need to have about fast fashion.
I know So many people will talk bad about Shein however I love Shein. and I wear the outfits I get from them the most out of my clothes. The clothes I have gotten from Shein has made me feel more confident than any other clothes that I have gotten from any other store in town or online. I have been hating myself and my body since i went into the thicker side, and ever since I started wearing some of Sheins plus size clothing items, I can smile and feel cute or awesome in what I wear. I do buy other items from them like i have a cute paint palette, and a resealable paint palette, glitter and clothing accessories
@@starlinguk I strictly shop plus size because of my chest size and personally have found amazing clothes that fit great. I am bigger in my chest proportionately, so It can be extremely difficult to find clothes that fit my shape. Mind you it is my experience but like I say, Shein is like wish or aliexpress. It does come with risk which is sometimes the fun of it. I also never buy anything online without looking at reviews and what it looks like on the people in reviews. :) :) :) I am also a Large to 1X maybe 2X(All depends on sheins sizing)
i bought from them as well! unfortunately i had no idea how big the plus sized outfits were and i bought them according to my measurements, so i ended up having to fix the clothing myself, but the clothes and the materials are really gooddd!
@@signofthecrimes1534 ya i always check measurements. Im a size L to XL normally but usually on shein i have to get a 2XL. Some outfits i need to modify
Can I just say once again that I mostly watch you to see your finished works of art. You're freaking so amazingly talented that it makes me jealous! You are so creative and so wonderful work ❤❤❤
to be far, almost all fast fashion brands do. Almost all of the designer fasion do too :/ If you look at the tags, youll often see "made in china" or "made in bangladesh", two countries nutorious for slave like labour
I love Shein. Totally addicted. Transformed my whole wardrobe and I have tons of nose rings. I don't typically follow fashion...just get what I like. They have a lot of what I like. Didn't even know they had stationary or art supplies on there lol. Thank Rae! You are gorgeous and I love your art!!!!
@@pissum420 yeah, i buy a lot of their plain shirts and sweatshirts. They have a lot of nice looking stuff like that and i get my nicer pieces on places like grailed.
@@pissum420 Fast fashion refers to the production methods not how often you wear it. Do you really think people care about how often someone wears a clothing item? It's viewed negatively because of the shady production and business practices.
My dad actually got me the paint pallet bucket cleaner thing from Amazon. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. So I was pleasantly surprised to see it reviewed well from a great artist❤️
The fact that you can make such amazing art using these crappy products is mesmerising to me! You are so talented and I love your work so much! 😍 Also, hell yeah for the house tour, would really like to see your new space! 🤩
The gel pen erasers are for pens such as pilot Frixion pens that work with friction to remove them- which really should have been stated in the description of the item, because otherwise these could be great to have, since the erasers that come with the pens tend to fall out
I just had a feeling she might have a new video and decided to see what she's up to.... I literally saw she just uploaded when i checked it out. Im so glad and i cant wait to watch it😍😍🤩🤩😊😊☺️☺️🥰🥰😘😘🥳🥳
8:45 that looks like the extremely thin paper you can get massive rolls of for pretty cheap. Even standard printing paper is thicker than that (where I live, cheap printing paper is 80gsm)
I've been looking at that bucket/palette thing for a while so Im happy I found your channel 🙂 Also I have not had any problems with Shein and I very happy with the items (clothes, earrings, diamondpaintings, make up, some hobbysupplies and wallstickers)
Chloe - already moved Mira - already moved Rae - moving Seems like all the three friends planned to move one after another 😂 (Moriah also moved but she is not in the group of friends)
I like that you also added the bit about some people can't afford to shop just anywhere. I think that's forgotten a lot. I discovered Shein on my own like 5 years ago, have a few pair or pants, skirts, and shoes from them. Heard about all the drama not long after so I don't personally shop there anymore because I CAN afford to spend my money somewhere else. But what I do want to acknowledge, as far as clothing goes (never bought like house products or makeup haha), all of those pieces still look as new as the day I got them, and they are well made. Seriously. It's stupid how good the items I have are for the prices. Even the shoes are in tip top condition. I will wear all of it till it's falling apart, I can't understand how people go through brand new clothes then dump them so fast. Either way, it's a shitty company to support, but if you have money restrictions the quality of Shein is much better than places like Wish, AlliExpress, etc. in my opinion.
I had mixed experience. I bought several items before the terrible practices reached me and some of them have lasted for years and some were falling apart later that week. It was apparent right out of the bag that 2 of the 6 shirts I bought were practically tissue paper. 1 of those ripped just putting it on. It wasn't too small and I wasnt forcing it but when I put my arms down it tore across the shoulder. The other started developing holes after just 2 washs on delicate despite the tag saying I could machine wash it. A third seemed fine until the entire right side seam unraveled in the wash 6 months in. I'd seen no signs of breakage and again it said I could machine wash but it still fell apart and my sewing machine was eating the fabric because it was so thin so I couldn't fix it. I still have the remaining 3 to this day almost 3 years later. 2 are genuinely just good quality the third is cheap but not tissue paper and I just don't wear it much as it's started to get see through
Love that you address the environmental impact and the challenge of sustainable fashion and privilege. I’d also add that there are questionable labor practices. When things are so cheap, who isn’t getting paid.
One thing I appreciate is that you mentioned that some people just can't afford and get hold of sustainable clothing many people on the Internet just accuse people of perpetuating band brands or say buy sustainable when it's not affordable for people on tight budgets and are barely getting paid as is
I just saw an episode of Marketplace in which they tested some cheap clothing brands for dangerous chemicals. There was a lot of really toxic stuff in Shein's clothing. For example, some of the children's clothing that is faux leather like had 3 to 20 times the safe and legal amount of lead. In children's clothing (and purses) no less!!!! Makes me wonder about what's in those art supplies!!
I'm so happy you also talked about the Paycheck part of people not being able to afford a lot of expensive clothes, because that's quite literally my Problem with clothes, since I can't afford a lot due to therapy being expensive :') But also when it comes to clothes plus size people have it so hard to find pretty clothes that aren't shoulder cutouts and loose so it's finally helpful to have a place that sells gorgeous clothing items for an affordable price and in big sizes
one person buying fast fashion isn’t destroying the planet. the fast fashion companies who don’t stop making clothes are. and it’s not just fast fashion, it’s most clothing brands. it’s nearly impossible to buy anything ethically. they want us to sit here and point fingers at each other and get complexes about where we purchase clothing so they can keep doing what they’re doing while we all scream at each other.
Those are erasers for erasable pens, and they erase with friction. You get pens that are named Friction, and they come in lots of colors and types. I love them!
Those erasers are for thermal disappearing ink, that’s how erase-able pens are made and that’s just the rubber that’s at the ands of the pens that makes the heat between it and the paper that makes the ink disappear
Just a little thought on your disclaimer… Isn’t fast fashion more a consumer issue then company? I buy what I like and I’m comfy in. I’ve never cared about fashion or what’s in style… if someone feels the need to keep buying the newest styles every couple weeks, that says more about the person… SHEIN are just playing it smart business wise and keeping up with those styles for people to buy… I dunno just my 2 cents I guess… Also, their plus sized (curvy as they call it) is soo great. Much rather that then the stores here to be honest… more range, more style and really comfy… most of the shops here are either really expensive or make you feel like you’re wearing a bedsheet/pillow case.
SHEIN STEALS PEOPLE'S ARTWORK! There is a girl from Pakistan who created a painting, shared it on social media and then Shein copied her artwork like EXACT COPY and sold it on their website. She called them out but sadly, nothing is done against them....yet.
I am from Pakistan....What is the girl's name?
Oh my goodness yes they also made this BLM collection which was COMPLETELY stolen
@@hooriajabbarkhan7422 Sara Shakeel
yeah that toilet paper roll artwork I saw that
There's not much she can do. Most of the time nothing happens to protect people's art from being used and sold on cheap websites like that. Just look at how many sites and people have stolen Pixiecold's and JoJoes' artworks.
I think the "pen erasers" are probably for erasble pens, but like, they come with erasers lol
There are actually “eraseable gel pens”
They draw super tenuous lines but can’t be erased with regular erasers
I think it's for the pilot frixion gel pens that erase using heat/friction
That's what I was thinking.

@@vincentknws same. the only things I’ve thrown away is when my thighs broke three of my pants in the middle of the crotch area.. lol… :,)
This. My mom gets angry when I spent $70 on a pair of leg warmers but it’s sustainable and it means I’m going to wear them for 5+ years before I think of donating them. I also tend to buy a lot of fast fashion stuff all at once so I can use those clothes for the next 2 years and only buy new clothes when I think something is a must in my closet or I need something new to style my current selection of clothes. My mom likes to buy clothes for me and although I appreciate it, I usually don’t wear them and a lot of money is wasted because of it. I don’t need anything more when I can mix and match my pieces into multiple outfits with different themes, you’re just feeding into fast fashion when you do that :/
@@3thalluing339 patches or keeping aside a old pair of jeans or some sort of fabric is a great way to repair them so you can keep them if it’s like a pair of jeans that are super comf!! I’m a chunky girl and that’s what I do to literally everything!!
What I found suspicious is that every item has good reviews / stars . One day an item had like lots of 1 star reviews and the other day they all disappeared .. pretty sure they are deleting bad reviews lol
Every thing is fake. They spent a lot of money on ads and even news what a shame.
@@tinggu1506 I agree with you
@@dalia9195 Heh, yeah.
sus..
I think people put good reviews bc they want to get points ive seen people do it butni also think they are deleting bad reviews
LOVE that you considered all sides of this and everyone's circumstances! So many TH-camrs and influencers talk down to people and judge for why people buy cheap, fast fashion without understanding that for some it's not the choice of habitually buying to follow trends, it's neccessity. An honest and refreshing take on Shein (and other companies)
❤❤❤
There is another negative aspect to Shein, behind these cheap clothes there is often exploitation, slave labor, and child labor. Behind these cheap cosmetics is the suffering of the animals on which they test them. It is worth bearing in mind.
Yeah. Honestly, if you are financially stable then I would definitely stay away from them. I also heard they steal other people’s art.
A lot of fast fashion labels do that sadly...taking advantage of the fact a lot of people arnt as finally stable enough to afford much else
I'm pretty sure rae didn't know? Thanks for letting her know though.
@@infinitebudgie Nah I’m sure she knows.. which is why she said in the video that she longer purchases from them. It was a huge thing in media and Rae isn’t stupid.
@@aromlaa7066 We don't know but something, I never called her stupid.
In addition to the shein controversy, they are currently one of the only big "retailers" that cater to plus size fashion and clothing for relatively reasonable prices. Plus size women in particular get the scraps when it comes to the fashion industry or are made to dress borderline matronly even while young bc retailers only make clothes that are unflattering and covering up. Even outside of just following trends, Shein is virtually the only place plus size people can realistically find clothes to dress how they want. (Though even that is drawing to a close with how many straight sized and midsized people are buying up plus size shein clothing for the "oversized" looked, so much so that 0x,1x,2x sizing on the site has started to cater to relatively midsized people and fit them better, but that's a whole other issue)
Thank you for saying this, no one else in the comments has mentioned it!!
that's great n' all but is it worth child and forced labor?
@@chemoheterotroph there's 170 million children used in child labor, across the entire fashion industry for the supply chain for the USA, Canada, and Europe. It would be impossible to boycott every retailer associated with some form of child or underpaid labor. I'm very aware of the evils of fast fashion, and especially when it comes to SheIn. I'm not defending them, I'm simply offering a point of view of why a lot of people still buy from them even if they don't like them as a company, myself included. Options are limited for people who are poor or considered "other".
@@MisseryMoth I'm not even that overweight but often can't find clothes in my size, it is like sizes are ment for kids, not adults. I agree that it can make you want to cry😣
Yeah, I agree. I usually shop on Shein and I find loads of cute dresses and stuff and they end up being plus so that means they’re really inclusive.
I wouldn't suggest using the brush cleaner for drying your brushes on the side 13:15 . Drying them like that will make water drip into the farrow and could damage the glue holding the bristles on beneath the metal.
Of course 🙄😒
Yeah I got one off of Amazon a few years ago and all of my brushes rusted and started falling apart
The erasers should work with Frixion brand pens.
Yes
Definitely , they have highlighters too.
i was gonna say that too
Well, if you have said pens, expose it to a direct source of heat, that’s all. No fancy erasers needed. As the name says, friction is the needed factor for erasing.
Yeah, but they said gel pens, not frixion gel pens. The frixion ones come with erasers too lol.
Fast fashion would not be so big if other brands didnt over charge so much for the most basic of necessities when it comes to clothing
Exactly and these fast fashion brands are profiting off it
@@fruity_vic4118 There providing affordable clothing, there would be no profit if other companies didnt make people turn to companies like shein
Very true. And also I think it really does come down to the person aswell. I mean the things I’ve gotten off shein over the years I still love and wear, instead of fast fashion I shop more for things I genuinely will get a lot of wear of instead of what’s trendy.
@@Jafaa__ I completely agree! I have literally sewn buttons back onto clothes from Shein just so i can keep it longer!
@@keiththebookie4423 haha same! I bought a pair of sweat pants from SHEIN like 3 years ago and I had to replace the drawstring because I lost it but I love the pants😂
i really love the way that she adressed sheins fast fashion. it was just a very respectful and socially aware 🙌
Shein is also a HUGE culprit of stealing small creators art!
Yes
Wee I am now mad
Came here just to say this/like someone's comment about this
Thanks for letting us know, I'll avoid all their products now.
add this to the list of why they’re not it sis
the "gel pen erasers" are for those pens that are or are like the "Pilot Frixion Pointball erasable pens" (aka those Pilot pens every school kid had in 2014 because they were "cool" again at that point lmao) it's a bummer that they didn't specify that it was ment for erasable gel ink and not normal gel ink otherwhise it probably wouldve saved Rae a lot of confusion lol
There also erasable ballpoint ink pens that this might have worked on, but it's a type of ink that unlike the erasable frixons sit on top of the paper instead of sinking into it like the frixon type pens.
I'll also add that when it comes to erasable pens, i know the pilot ones have erasers on the end of the pens, so I find getting separate erasers to be kind of... Useless? Maybe other brands dont have them though, idk
@@theemeralddragon9224 some brands don’t also the erasers can be used up or just fall off so having a separate one would be handy.
NO WAY I GOT A SHEIN AD RIGHT BEFORE WATCHING THIS 😭
Same 💀 😭
You want to know why everything is suspiciously 5 stars? They have a wide influencer net where they send free clothes for a 5 star rating. I know a couple of people who do it. THey spend half their day trying on clothes, taking photos and writing reviews, even if they dont like something. Also sometimes the stuff they send the influencers is not the same that they sell, but you got a review of it
Also due to the fact they have a point system based on writing good reviews
Ratings are literally just a marketing ploy these days it’s awful.
I wish there were regulations preventing shady companies like shein from abusing ratings.
@@scaraslutsyup and also they have games on there where you get free items so none of the reviews are really accurate at all whatsoever
EVERYTHING HAS 5 STARS CAUSE THAT GIVES THE PEOPLE MORE POINTS 😂 Each point equals one penny, and people save up to buy stuff
Wait what?? There’s a point system??
@@annapruitt5546 yes! there is a point system and the the more points the more you can save money 1 point = .1 cent to get points you can review products or you can praticape in like live videos and make outfits on servant themes
seriously??! they PAY people to rate 5 stars? what kind of sketchy company needs to do that?!
@@wakemeupwhenpeoplearesaneagain trueee
Whoa what, that's mega sus o.o do not trust the reviews on shein ever, I guess
I love how she gets so happy about her dog.
I would like to point out that not all of us buy cheap clothes and throw them away in three weeks because of fashion. Some of us buy from places like Shein and wear the clothes until we physically cant anymore. Then what I do ot take the fabric and use it for something else. So, if people took a little personal responsibility sometimes and didnt throw clothes away after three weeks just because the fashion changes and instead wear them until they actually wear out enough to even throw away in the first place, or maybe instead of throwing them away they donate them. Then it would probably be a little more sustainable.
And this is not a dog at you Rae I know where you're coming from, I more mean the that the people talking about them like they are a big problem and have all the responsibility, when their shoppers have partial responsibility for not being so wasteful of their clothes. I mean, idk how rough everyone is with their clothes but most of the time if I buy even cheap clothes they last at least a year or two. 🤷♀️
Yeh, I adore some of the skirts I've gotten from romwe (they came in shein bags) and I've worn out the hoodies Ive gotten from their till they're kinda disgusting and stained (only wear those at home now) I don't have the money for cute clothes from sustainable sites, and cheaper clothes in stores are just mostly not to my liking..SheIn and romwe just have a lot of options for cheap, tho you have to be careful not to get crap quality, a lot of the stuff I've gotten I still use a year or more later
@@marshmallow4646 yeah I find it's just like wish and Ali Express read the reviews and read alllll the descriptions and such and judge based on price.
@@nilawarriorprincess yeah just gotta be careful is all
I get so confused about the people who are like "it's out of fashion I have to get rid of it!" Like???? The only time I got rid of clothing was when I couldn't fit in it anymore or it literally fell apart. Like I've got clothing I bought 10+ years ago I'm still wearing to this day. Maybe it's different when you're plus size and you don't have the luxury of buying new clothing willy-nilly so you have to make your shit last. 🤣
@@AlottaBoulchit right there with ya on that one!
Ahhh omg Chia is adorable!!
yeah!!!
I know right
OMG JEEEELLLLLY JESSSSSS
Jelleh jesse
yassssss she is :3
I LOVE your vids. I love how it’s art mixed with review with a slightly mixed in vlog aesthetic
Another reason why Shein is crap and just overall a shady business: They say they don't use child labor but does not the full supply chain disclosure. They also made false statements and some (or maybe all) of their factories are located in the Uyghur region of China where many factories there do forced labor.
I’m so happy to hear you speak about sustainability. My daughter has been running clothing swaps for 8 years now. She is based out of Thailand because it’s where she happens to live. So happy people in the states are getting on board.
The first sticks you used are made for erasable gel pens, they have inks that erase with heat and that’s how they work
btw rae
those 'gel pen' erasers are actually for friction pens, they use a special type of ink that can be 'erased' (they actually just turn white) after applying heat through friction or any other way (like using a blow dryer)
This ereaser works for gel pens that dissapearing when exposed to heat. The friciton "ereases" this type of ink.
Chea is adorable!! She is so tiny and precious!!
Yeah 🤣🤣
I just recently discovered your channel, and let me just say: your art is absolutely amazing! You have a wonderful personality, and are extremely skilled at drawing. You are so inspirational, so I would just like to say thank you! You inspire me to draw more, and to draw better. ❤

@SuperRaeDizzle you deserve more compliments 😊

Hi Rae! Aside from the fast fashion stuff, Shein also steals. They rip off designs from smaller artists for their clothes. A lot of small fashion designer's work have been outright stolen by Shein and sold for cheap. That's all I wanted to say, thanks so much for this video!! Enjoyed it as usual. Take care! Love you always ❤❤❤
Her puppy is absolutely adorable 😭😭 the second she saw rae her tail started wagging so much!!!
Thank you for talking about Shein controversy in this video. It's a great reminder you put there, also yes, Salem Tovar's video has the best take on the Shein situation. ^^
I completely agree with you about production, but I do have to add that I’ve kept my clothing from shein for years and it still looks good. You have to get used to knowing what to buy and look heavily at reviews. I think shein is great if you take care of your things, and I hope others can become more educated about this. Their production in mass is hurtful to the environment in a lot of ways, but can be reduced by the user
So true, you can sort by material it's amazing
Kudos for calling out Shien as n to just being cheap and nasty but AWFUL for the environment. I see so many haul and react videos that don’t acknowledge or address it, and in fact just perpetuates more Shien buying with more hauls or reacts. 🙌🏼
And shame about scratch pad missing, immediate happy childhood memories!!!
Sad you're leaving New Mexico, but glad you're getting out of that PART OF New Mexico. Hopefully the place you're going has more than just a HOLY BOBBY for art supplies!
i know!!! im tired of hobby lobby
I thought you were from NM due to the sweatshirt in one video.
I wish the state had more to offer I see other TH-camrs that go to different stores and I'm like dang. I know IKEA will never build here not a big enough population apparently. My parents moved to AZ and they have such a variety.
@@SuperRaedizzle yes hobby lobby is so expensive
@@a.r.t4954 is it??? I only get stuff on sale and I think it's pretty reasonable
@@a.r.t4954 I mean....it's also run by a bigot. A little more important than the pricing.
I live in a small town in a 3rd world country and a lot of the online fast fashion debate seems so superficial to me because it's mostly privileged people trying to give alternatives that are only possible in their reality. There aren't any thrift stores where I live and I'd rather buy three fast fashion t-shirts that are going to last for years bc they will cost me as much as the shipping for one t-shirt from a local ethically made brand.
It's important to understand that most of the clothes we all wear are made that way. Yes, even if it's high quality.
Boycotting a handful of online stores is not gonna change anything, the focus should be on how the internet has made consumerism look even more desirable and how influencer culture creates "trends" that don't even reach real life people before going away. The influencers who rely on making clothing/makeup hauls for a living either make the money back or don't even pay for the products to begin with. The strawberry dress (even though the original is not from a fast fashion brand) and ball gown hauls are two examples of unnecessary consumerism that really intrigue me.
Also, most of the people who can only afford fast fashion are not just throwing away their clothes once they stop being trendy and aren't getting their everyday clothes from places like Shein or Zara. There's no problem in buying clothes just because you think they look cool, as long as you're actually going to wear them in the future.
It does do something though? I understand where you're getting at and where you're at, but i know many stores online that sell stuff for cheap without using child labour and stolen art. It's not for me. Boycotting it will stop the online store. It really does do something
@@hanin_gurl depends, what is cheap for you probably isn't cheap for me, Zara here is considered kinda expensive for example
@@hanin_gurl name a store thats been boycotted off the market
@@babybingbing that’s the point. no one boycotts.
That paragraph tho
11:43 just like m- ah never mind 😂
That brush cleaning bucket/palette is for sale on aliexpress for about 3 to 5 dollars lol I'm willing to bet that Shein just buys their stuff on aliexpress and then resells it for more
It is available cheap on Amazon too.
No, it's pretty much just the same thing as Wish and Aliexpress and is based in China also, so they don't have to buy and resell from Aliexpress they just use the same suppliers.
they just use the same suppliers
You found it for 3-5 dollars? I only found it at 7.50 USD, and it's 50% off 😭
2:07. I'm pausing the video here to say one thing about the statement made at about this point in the video. You see, a lot of influencers who are promoting "green living" like to push the idea that you vote with your dollar - you only buy from businesses that are "green". You only fund companies that are doing the "best" for the environment. This is really hard to do if you don't have a lot of money - at least in my local area a product is labelled as "environmentally friendly" and suddenly the price doubles. Its important to acknowledge that not everyone can afford to look somewhere else, and may be forced to turn to places like Shein just to afford the basics when it comes to clothing.
Also, I don't know about anyone else, but thrift shops (or what I have always known as second-hand stores) are super expensive in my area. The same leggings I can get for $6 a piece in the supermarket are $12, or sometimes higher in these stores that are supposed to have better prices.
Its like when everyone was going on and on about organic food and then all the companies started releasing organic food for twice the price. People start off genuinely concerned only to end up the new trendy cash cow.
It's my opinion that if someone truly wants to be "eco friendly" then they should learn to sew and begin to make and mend their own clothing instead of buying any fashion. That's the best way to not participate in fast fashion and keep extra clothing out of landfills.
@@AlottaBoulchit but then you have to factor in time to learn a new skill, time to sew the garments, cost of materials. And unless the fabric is thrifted, there’s issues with slave labor and cotton, and the micro plastics that shed when using synthetic fiber fabrics. There isn’t such a thing as “truly eco friendly “ with the current systems in place. (Not saying clothes making is bad btw. Just offering a different perspective).
@@fibromiteready2fight809 I'm literally trying to learn to sew my own clothes rn and cost of materials is more than you'd think 🙃 I don't even have everything I need, and I'm fortunate enough to have a hand-me-down sewing machine, but I already spent more than $100. If I want to tie dye or further modify what I make, that's more cost. Luckily I work at a thrift store as well with a 50% discount so I'm saving the most I can really. But without all that, I can imagine it to be quite hard for people who are on a budget and don't have the means to afford it all. I think the solution to that would be to make sure people have enough money to be able to purchase sustainably and ethically by providing for other needs such as food and housing and making them low cost or providing subsidies. But that's the socialist in me speaking lol
@@feelinglostinthepeople exactly. The pressure should not be on the consumer, but the government. We should all be able to easily access the basic necessities like food, water, etc. And have money to do things like make clothes or buy sustainable items. I want to go to F.I.T, and in preparation (and because I like making garments) I want to start sewing. And wow, materials are expensive. Especially if they’re oekotex certified, or recycled. It’s not a budget friendly hobby upfront, and that deters a lot of people from learning. It’s so frustrating :( .
Yeah she says that
OMG, your puppy is so adorable 🥰😍. She looks like my girl Lunar. Lunar is an English Pointer and Labrador mix and she is now 8 years old 🤗.
This is actually a phenomenal way to explain why cheap spending is not worth it without making people feel pushed into anything. Its a real experience, and advice that is helpful without making others hear they are doing bad or need to choose better or else. Its refreshing and more valuable then many intentions articulate
The first "gel pen erasers" are actually for erasable ball point pens. It causes friction and heat which causes the erasable ink to change to clear.
when she says SHE INNNN gets me everytime 💀
The pallete cleaner is a game changer. I loves seeing your new puppy! And yes, Empty house and studio tour please!
I’ve been watching your channel for a couple years now and you have motivated me to keep going. The progress you have made with your art is amazing, you are such a big inspiration
I just noticed that you are left-handed too. Idk why but almost all artists are lefty wow!!!❤️

Love you Rae, always a great time when you post.
Also agreed, fast fashion/companies need to be stopped.
Well done you for sticking to your morals ♡
No one is ever talking about her face expression on every video thumbnail😭She's such an icon!
We stan a creator with integrity! Thank you SO MUCH for talking about how problematic sites like Shein are and taking a stand by pledging not to buy from them or do these videos anymore. I usually make a point to not even watch videos about Shein, Wish, Romwe, etc. hauls, but I love your videos so I made an exception with this one and I'm glad I did. Keep up the great work, Rae!🖤
Another reason I dont support Shein,besides the cheap quality fast fashion issue, is that every week I see more and more artits about how their art is being stolen and printed on shirts or stolen for enamel pins.
I actually buy thrifted and cheap clothes. Most of my clothes nowadays are found on Discount racks at stores like Walmart, but I would never EVER use these types of sites like Wish and Shein for fast fashion much less anything else. Plus when I see something that I know I'll wear frequently I have a tendency to buy multiples so I don't have to buy for quite sometime.
Anyway, Shein is known for stealing people's stuff and making it theirs plus what you receive in the mail is NOTHING like advertised. One of my friends bought this pretty looking dress I was considering and it was NOWHERE near the post. Shein is one of the places you got to be careful.
Who else watches Rae because she is funny and lovable?? I found your channel a couple months ago and I can’t stop binge watching every video!! 😁 Keep up the good work!☺️
4:42 that thing that you use for erasing gel pen is actually for a specific type of gel pen called "Pilot Frixion Ball"
There are also other brands but same concept ✍️👍👍
I thought it's a common sense 🥲
If you go to barns and nobles they have some and the pen comes with it!! Look for a Dino or unicorn ( ps they are by checkout)
Ok disclaimer, I have never purchased from shein. Although after this video I think that the company is kind of a manipulative company. Here me out how are they making horrible quality products that catch the eye of those who want to be “popular.” Which is probably run by people who know that people can be self conscious and worried about how they look and are trying to fit in by buying popular products to hopefully feel better about themselves. And they somehow come with thousands of wonderful reviews. It don’t work like dat!
I've bought things with no reviews so idk I dont think they buying all the reviews but as someone who shares shein account with my whole family the website gives you points that take money off your next purchase if you review. Points for rating it in stars, more points for talking about why you rated it or putting photos. They are smart cause they make you want to review to get the points so you can buy even more
There's a point system, 1 point is 1 cent, and the 5 star reviews are just to get more points.
Chia is absolutely precious!
Also I have to say I absolutely love your art Rae. It's amazing that you work so hard for all of us!
Love your content,your art and just everything!
Edit- Also I had dropped drawing as no one really cared about it or anything but you've inspired me to start over❤️
Your art can be solely for you. Not for others. No one else has to care about it. Doing things for yourself and doing things just because you enjoy it is much more important than what anyone else thinks.
Really glad to hear you’ve started drawing again!!! That’s awesome and I hope you keep it up! Do things you love for yourself!

It seems like the first item can only work with those friction erase pens. Those pens also have a gummy erasure to erase the ink.
Rae: 12:46 " little bit of yellow"
Brown: It's brutal out here😔
Thats orange
Part the reason the reviews are rating the things so highly is because of how cheap they are, people never expect hardly anything, so when it’s got something it’s more surprising than if it was the same quality but a higher price you’d be disappointed
I mean, if it's what you ordered and it works, why not rate it 5 stars? If you're paying low prices you expect low quality.
@@onemoreweirdo207 literally read what I wrote.
Girl, you can make absolutely amazing art in the most trash of materials - you're an incredible artist! Thank you for the review...it's always nice to be able to find art supplies at a steal of a price but it's really only a steal if it's worth it, not if you have to toss it in the trash.
I recently discovered your videos and am going through them all. I love your style and your art and the way your videos are put together and are edited. I love you. Thanks for what you do! Keep it up girl.
hello! i recently started watching you and i know this was made 2 years ago, but, shein is mostly for clothes! and clothes from shein are really good quality because i've bought them and also recommend them, but yeah thats all i wanted to say.
Gurl, how much did Shein pay you to promote child labor and destruction of our planet
Lol your mannerisms are so cute, this vid was very interesting! Had no idea Shein had art supplies. Also so glad you talked about the awareness we need to have about fast fashion.
I know So many people will talk bad about Shein however I love Shein. and I wear the outfits I get from them the most out of my clothes. The clothes I have gotten from Shein has made me feel more confident than any other clothes that I have gotten from any other store in town or online. I have been hating myself and my body since i went into the thicker side, and ever since I started wearing some of Sheins plus size clothing items, I can smile and feel cute or awesome in what I wear. I do buy other items from them like i have a cute paint palette, and a resealable paint palette, glitter and clothing accessories
@@starlinguk I strictly shop plus size because of my chest size and personally have found amazing clothes that fit great. I am bigger in my chest proportionately, so It can be extremely difficult to find clothes that fit my shape. Mind you it is my experience but like I say, Shein is like wish or aliexpress. It does come with risk which is sometimes the fun of it. I also never buy anything online without looking at reviews and what it looks like on the people in reviews. :) :) :) I am also a Large to 1X maybe 2X(All depends on sheins sizing)
I love getting craft supplies from them, super cute beads, they even sell wire and other metal findings and charms
i bought from them as well! unfortunately i had no idea how big the plus sized outfits were and i bought them according to my measurements, so i ended up having to fix the clothing myself, but the clothes and the materials are really gooddd!
@@signofthecrimes1534 ya i always check measurements. Im a size L to XL normally but usually on shein i have to get a 2XL. Some outfits i need to modify
Can I just say once again that I mostly watch you to see your finished works of art. You're freaking so amazingly talented that it makes me jealous! You are so creative and so wonderful work ❤❤❤
you left out the most important problem with shein 😭 THEY LITTERALLY DO CHILD LABOUR
to be far, almost all fast fashion brands do.
Almost all of the designer fasion do too :/
If you look at the tags, youll often see "made in china" or "made in bangladesh", two countries nutorious for slave like labour
A lot of stores do sadly, even the popular ones

@@pissum420 Fast fashion refers to the production methods not how often you wear it. Do you really think people care about how often someone wears a clothing item? It's viewed negatively because of the shady production and business practices.
My dad actually got me the paint pallet bucket cleaner thing from Amazon. I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. So I was pleasantly surprised to see it reviewed well from a great artist❤️
Can you give me the link? I really want that lol but I don’t want to support shein
The fact that you can make such amazing art using these crappy products is mesmerising to me! You are so talented and I love your work so much! 😍 Also, hell yeah for the house tour, would really like to see your new space! 🤩
You're such an amazing artist plus you're real and gorgeous you can't get any better than Rae I swear it!
5:34 it works but on pens that are made for it :D
POV: you're finding out how Shein is pronounced for the first time in your life
The gel pen erasers are for pens such as pilot Frixion pens that work with friction to remove them- which really should have been stated in the description of the item, because otherwise these could be great to have, since the erasers that come with the pens tend to fall out
I think the first one is for pens that have erasable ink, though they usually come with their own rubby thing
The all-in-one paint bucket thing is rad. But that's also.... kind of pricey. I got one at a local art supply warehouse for about $6
My style has been described as "Comfortable Business Goth" and y'know, I'm not mad about it lol. Dress in what makes you happy!

8:45 that looks like the extremely thin paper you can get massive rolls of for pretty cheap. Even standard printing paper is thicker than that (where I live, cheap printing paper is 80gsm)
I've been looking at that bucket/palette thing for a while so Im happy I found your channel 🙂
Also I have not had any problems with Shein and I very happy with the items (clothes, earrings, diamondpaintings, make up, some hobbysupplies and wallstickers)

@@anjurigupta7125 Thank you for reminding
That can be an excuse for why moriah is not in the comment😁
@@unknowing777 It was my pleasure to do so
you can use an iron on low heat with something like a towel in the middle to remove the wrinkles on the chalk board sticker
"What is fast fashion?"
"Have you seen The Lorax? It's that."
I like that you also added the bit about some people can't afford to shop just anywhere. I think that's forgotten a lot. I discovered Shein on my own like 5 years ago, have a few pair or pants, skirts, and shoes from them. Heard about all the drama not long after so I don't personally shop there anymore because I CAN afford to spend my money somewhere else. But what I do want to acknowledge, as far as clothing goes (never bought like house products or makeup haha), all of those pieces still look as new as the day I got them, and they are well made. Seriously. It's stupid how good the items I have are for the prices. Even the shoes are in tip top condition. I will wear all of it till it's falling apart, I can't understand how people go through brand new clothes then dump them so fast. Either way, it's a shitty company to support, but if you have money restrictions the quality of Shein is much better than places like Wish, AlliExpress, etc. in my opinion.
I had mixed experience. I bought several items before the terrible practices reached me and some of them have lasted for years and some were falling apart later that week. It was apparent right out of the bag that 2 of the 6 shirts I bought were practically tissue paper. 1 of those ripped just putting it on. It wasn't too small and I wasnt forcing it but when I put my arms down it tore across the shoulder. The other started developing holes after just 2 washs on delicate despite the tag saying I could machine wash it. A third seemed fine until the entire right side seam unraveled in the wash 6 months in. I'd seen no signs of breakage and again it said I could machine wash but it still fell apart and my sewing machine was eating the fabric because it was so thin so I couldn't fix it. I still have the remaining 3 to this day almost 3 years later. 2 are genuinely just good quality the third is cheap but not tissue paper and I just don't wear it much as it's started to get see through
The paint saver is what I'd call the palette or portable palette, it's only like 7 on Amazon. Got one for my daughter for this Christmas
Oh bruhh ur puppy is so cuteeeeeeee and ur drawing*chef's kiss*
Love that you address the environmental impact and the challenge of sustainable fashion and privilege. I’d also add that there are questionable labor practices. When things are so cheap, who isn’t getting paid.
One thing I appreciate is that you mentioned that some people just can't afford and get hold of sustainable clothing many people on the Internet just accuse people of perpetuating band brands or say buy sustainable when it's not affordable for people on tight budgets and are barely getting paid as is
I just saw an episode of Marketplace in which they tested some cheap clothing brands for dangerous chemicals. There was a lot of really toxic stuff in Shein's clothing. For example, some of the children's clothing that is faux leather like had 3 to 20 times the safe and legal amount of lead. In children's clothing (and purses) no less!!!! Makes me wonder about what's in those art supplies!!
I'm so happy you also talked about the Paycheck part of people not being able to afford a lot of expensive clothes, because that's quite literally my Problem with clothes, since I can't afford a lot due to therapy being expensive :')
But also when it comes to clothes plus size people have it so hard to find pretty clothes that aren't shoulder cutouts and loose so it's finally helpful to have a place that sells gorgeous clothing items for an affordable price and in big sizes
omg i love her make-up sm
one person buying fast fashion isn’t destroying the planet. the fast fashion companies who don’t stop making clothes are. and it’s not just fast fashion, it’s most clothing brands. it’s nearly impossible to buy anything ethically. they want us to sit here and point fingers at each other and get complexes about where we purchase clothing so they can keep doing what they’re doing while we all scream at each other.
Those are erasers for erasable pens, and they erase with friction. You get pens that are named Friction, and they come in lots of colors and types. I love them!
Edward Scissor Hands ,love the drawing so much ♥️
The “this is really thick?! Just like me- ahh nevermind…” got me dying 😭
I love everything about Rae , her art is inspiring and also her videos are informative. I’m definitely apart of the RaeVolution!!! Hope ur feeling 💯
Those erasers are for thermal disappearing ink, that’s how erase-able pens are made and that’s just the rubber that’s at the ands of the pens that makes the heat between it and the paper that makes the ink disappear
Just a little thought on your disclaimer…
Isn’t fast fashion more a consumer issue then company? I buy what I like and I’m comfy in. I’ve never cared about fashion or what’s in style… if someone feels the need to keep buying the newest styles every couple weeks, that says more about the person… SHEIN are just playing it smart business wise and keeping up with those styles for people to buy… I dunno just my 2 cents I guess…
Also, their plus sized (curvy as they call it) is soo great. Much rather that then the stores here to be honest… more range, more style and really comfy… most of the shops here are either really expensive or make you feel like you’re wearing a bedsheet/pillow case.
