Okay wow the comments in this video are insane. Yes I understand some kids are destroying products and buying products they don’t need. I just wanted to share some of the stuff that people my age used when we were 10-14. That’s it. Please be kind to others.
Most of the things you mentioned are aimed at kids/teens though and are a fraction of the price. I’m not hating on the kids they’re just being influenced by the trends after all, but there is something a little bit disturbing about 10-year-olds buying anti-aging creams and serums. It just not meant for them and it’s sad that this is what kids are putting on Christmas and birthday lists now.
I'm 11 I don't even have a single product of skin care or what ever. Dut that doesn't mean that bcs you thing is bad that everyone thinks is bad like like little girls are going to Sephora with their parents so their parents let them is not their fault is their parents fault so shut up and keep the opinion and the comments adout others to your self is not our problem your jealous 🙄🙄🙄
As a millennial, the closest I got to anti-aging products as a pre-teen was collagen moisturizer from St. Ives. My mom told me that I certainly don’t need that.
Fr. I love how these kids are getting instilled with a healthy habit to take care of their skin but you can also get a really good routine at Ulta or Target for 50$. These kids are spending hundreds on a few products that they don't really need. Expensive does not mean better. Not to mention, the destroying of samples.
Right??? As a 23 year old I feel like I’m an unworthy peasant to even look at the luxury beauty (Fenty, Benefit etc). Now we got kids trashing the place with no shame.
@@user-gx1vx7li3x millenial and gen z kids didn’t destroy stores. But millennial parents let their kids do it because they don’t know how to actually raise their kids. Two things can be true
I think the biggest difference for me was that my friends and I bought things that were cheap, age appropriate, and we weren't rude to other shoppers or staff. I didn't think I was "allowed" to go into Sephora until I was in middle school. It was kinda scary.
The first time I went to Sephora was last summer and I had to work up the courage to talk to an employee just to ask where a good clay mask was! These kids are rude and there should be minimum age to enter Sephora if you are not with an adult
i’m a teenager and the first time i went to sephora or ulta was less than a month ago so to see 8 YEAR OLDS buying retinol and other serums is just a shock to me
God loves you and calls you to repentance. Tomorrow is not a promise, and God does not want you to die in sin; but to repent and believe in Jesus Christ. That is why Jesus Christ (God made Man) died on the cross. You broke the Law, but Christ paid your fine. He suffered in your place, as your Substitute, and rose again after three days, now seated at the right hand of the Father; He is King over all. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Christ is coming soon.
@@user-gx1vx7li3xthey say it’s best to start using retinols in your 20s unless you have like terrible acne but yes children 15 and under using retinol makes no sense cause there skin cells already turn over fast and they typically have clear skin.if your a child with acne the best thing to do is eat vitamins(eating them is better than putting them on your face in serums) and use spot treatment like tee tree oil to help it go away. I feel the girls who kept putting makeup over their “bad” skin rather that trying to fix it then and there made it worse for themselves💔 I feel washing your face, putting a mask and moisturizer is something everyone should do. Retinols and all that in ur 20s. You don’t need a million products and they dont have to be expensive you just need to know the ingredients your looking for that will target the specific skin you have(dry/oily/etc)
When most of us were 10 years old, we used whatever we had in the shower (and occasionally in the kitchen sink) to make potions for amusement. We didn't tamper with the anti aging products for public-testing to feel "cool" or to get attention.
@@vqbl795no but if a ten year old ever did do that I wouldnt have judged them, I remember putting on my mums olay cream and walking around the house in her heeled boots and I also remember why I did that: because I wanted to be a grown up. They just need someone to explain it to them that this stuff is unnecessary and that theres no need to rush growing up bc it will happen. Bashing 10 year olds is not cute and it says everything about you and nothing about them
At 10 yrs old almost all of the stuff you mentioned was waaaay out of our price ranges. We had lip smackers and the cheap body sprays and lotions from Walmart. We didn't get BBW till we were a little older. Def didn't even get to walk into VS till I was a teenager and it was to browse lol we didn't even have an Ulta until I was grown. Sephora was waaaay out of our leagues. Still is for me for the most part as a 35 yr old woman. We didn't even get to walk into it as teens and damn sure didn't at TEN yrs old.
Yeah at 10 years old I don't know if I was even using facewash... if I was it was clean & clear paired with dove shampoo and conditioner which I thought was luxury.
I don't get this? Why didn't you get to walk into a shop? I don't get the issue of kids in a shop, I think people are mixing up several things into and here, Kids visiting a shop (not a problem), kids buying stuff at Sephora (where does a 10 year old have that kind of money from, that is a problem), kids behaving inappropriate in a shop (very much a problem, where are the parents???).
@MsMoople because we couldn't afford it and it was Victoria secret and I was only 10 yrs old.. a 10 yr old has no business shopping in a lingerie store. Back then they were almost nothing but lingerie and perfumes. Amd at 10 yrs old we didn't get to rum around the mall by ourselves so there was no sneaking off in there real quick. And my mom couldn't afford VS for herself so I had absolutely no business being in a VS at 10 yrs old. Same goes for separate. I had no business at 10 yrs old even being in one because I couldn't afford it nor was I old enough to wear the make up yet. What make up stuff I did have came from drug stores. And BBW was the same thing. It took me and my cousins some years to convince our moms into letting us buy body spray from there because they swore it was too expensive and not for kids. We made it in there quicker than we did any other store. And kids at 10 yrs old can't be trusted in more expensive shops. Not with an adult and specially not alone. They proved that in sephora.
I was not a 10 year old in the makeup store lol im 33, i didnt start wearing actual makeup until i was like 17, and didnt actually truly get into it until my 20s. You had to be privileged to be getting ANY of the stuff you mentioned.
Privilege to have the own brand but a lot of us had the offbrand versions the Walmart brand version I definitely had every hair store lip gloss definitely had the Walmart, body mist etc. etc. it’s just different with these kids deem important and what they actually want. And a lot of them are forced to get the offbrand version of these new products because they don’t have the money or the privilege or their parents don’t have the money or the privilege.
I'm baffled by how much this "trend" also highlights the class disparity between different groups of girls. As a younger millennial, I remember vividly that bath n body works was considered a luxury brand, as like something you'd get for your birthday. My first ever perfume was by bath n body works and I felt like an it girl. I feel like this economic disparity is going to be me even more obvious with the younger gen.
I think it's because of the combination of people having less kids or mostly having kids they know they can afford. Kids are now becoming like a accessary rather than a person. Also social media influence is exposing these kids to things they really don't need.
Yeah, I can't relate. As a geriatric millennial, my parents could afford to buy me Bath and Body Works anything back in my day. My first purchase was probably when I was 16, after I got a job. Even then, that was considered a treat. Skincare products was whatever was on sale at Walmart. Very basic stuff like Oxy or Clean and Clear.
But there’s a big difference - those products were actually appropriate for kids/teens. Now kids are using skincare with active ingredients that will damage their skin and they’re destroying products in the store. What we did as kids is not comparable to what’s currently happening with this “skincare smoothie” trend. Edit to add: There’s nothing wrong with kids buying age-appropriate skincare like moisturizer, and I am by no means saying that ALL kids in Sephora are doing this. I’m simply saying that this trend is concerning and it’s not really comparable to things we collected like Baby Lips and Bath and Body Works. Children are using products like retinol and chemical peels to “prevent aging” when they haven’t even finished growing yet. That should be concerning to everyone.
@@yassine8935 It doesn’t have to be a direct comparison, but it does have to be a *reasonable* comparison. Saying “we collected beauty products too” is in no way comparable to “they go into stores to destroy expensive products and are using dangerous ingredients that will damage their skin.” It is not a reasonable comparison.
Finally, someone acknowledges this. A lot of drunk elephant products contain things such as retinal that are specifically for anti aging are very attractive to young girls because they are the ones in the pink packaging. Please keep in mind that this is just an opinion, if you're going to be respectful I'd love to hear yours.
I’m 11 and personally like skin care and I have some but i have to say I only get stuff that my mom approves of and that is safe for kid skin so I literally have to wait days before getting a product because my mom have to research it first to see if it is safe for me and I literally only get it for my acne and oily skin but besides that I cannot believe how rude bratty and disrespectful these kids are my mom would slap me and punish in front of everyone in that store if I did that 😂 and honestly it is insane that they open the package and use and put it back if they don’t like it costing Sephora millions of dollars I just can’t at this point just ban kids from Sephora I don’t care if that includes me this is getting way to out of hand
It’s sweet you’re trying to defend them, and you’re right to an extent that we shouldn’t *hate* on them per say, maybe they will listen if we give them more gentle guidance and actually explain to them why these products you mentioned are age appropriate and why you cannot just trash stores and/or try products that are not test products ( which I’ve seen them do) instead of just making fun of them online
Gen Alpha needs to be supervised at Sephora and Sephora needs to bring back that one rule if your at a young age you can’t come in without supervision from an adult. 😩 Like they could shop there for items that they actually need and those attitudes of theirs needs to be humbled real fast.
the thing is i’m sure a lot of those kids DO come with parents they’re just not paying attention lol, i’m not sure its an attitude because kids will act like kids but the parents need to be monitoring them more that’s why they get away with it 🤷♀️ nothing to humble except the parents
@@user-ty7dn4ot3l ngl I think it’s too normalized to let your kid run free in malls now a days, and I’m saying that as a teen. I wasnt even allowed to go to the mall with my friend w/o parents until I was 13 or 14. That’s also when I started going to ulta and stuff, me and my friends will be at the mall and there are 9 year olds that are unattended getting Starbucks and going into lululemon
The difference is, is that Drunk Elephant is CRAZY expensive and these 10 year olds are DESTROYING the products at Sephora.... Thank you for the likes (Most i've got so far)!!!!
@@Kayweethatonegirly Okay but I think what you’re forgetting in your anger right now is now is that everyone, little kids included, is a different person from one another. I get where you’re coming from but insulting entire groups of people is only going to hurt them and make them want to become what you’re calling them out of sheer spite to hurt those who keep hurting them. Yes, words hurt people, especially young impressionable people
It's definitely not the same thing. The items you mentioned are all targeted for preteens and young teenagers. They are age-appropriate.. If the kids today were making TikToks and out buying the things you mentioned, nobody would be faulting them or their parents.
With respect, the issue with the Sephora kids isn’t just the fact that they’re using stuff they don’t need. They are being rude to workers and destroying the testers in the store, opening products from their boxes, etc.
To be fair though Proactive was just actually helping our teenage acne. And needed for some people. it wasn’t super extra the whole point was it was only three steps and I don’t know if most people were super rude about it yanking it off shelves and bagging about it maybe some people were most of us were quiet about the fact that we had acne at least where I went to school
I was going to say this. Ya I agree. Using proactive at my school too was not a flex, and also you’re supposed to be using ace products in middle school.
It was a huge flex at my middle school (2011-2013) I had wanted to get some but my parents said that I didn’t need it because I barely had acne. Meanwhile, my older sister had really bad acne and they bought her a 3 piece set for Christmas during that time. Even though I never used it once in my life, she would always get mad at me for touching it (just to move it out of the way) or if she saw me even looking at it
I used it. It definitely was not a flex to use it or have acne at 10. I hated using it. It was embarrassing to have to use it so early. Idk why tf anyone would want to have to do an acne treatment x2 daily everyday at 10. My mum had to help me bc I was so exhausted in the morning, but she was committed to trying to clear up horrible my skin. I feel sorry, for my child self.
No, seriously, i NEEDED tht at 10 😭 i went thru puberty early n started to get acne at 9 n i STILL get acne bad at 23. My skin just hated me. I'm thankful it wasnt the cystic painful kind, but i still got acne in the weirdest places like black heads in my fn ears. I was struggling 😭@Afterlife2570
i feel like these two eras aren't comparable because these kids are destroying the displays and making the tester products unsafe for others with their "skincare smoothies" they're also using very strong retinols and exfoliants on their faces that will ruin their skin, probably forever i agree that we shouldn't attack the kids, we should go after the parents that let these little kids have access to social media so young and for buying them these products without researching them
I feel they're moreso just going to get a rude awakening when they damage their skin barrier and everything burns from not introducing actives slowly. That said, I doubt they'll permanently damage their skin, I mean, I was using Tretinoin and 15% azelaic acid daily in my teens, and my skin tolerated it just fine. The only issue is that these children probably don't do the research needed to use these actives and will end up starting them daily and overstripping their skin.
Lipgloss and cleanser can't be compared with 10-step skincare and high-end cosmetics that these Sephora kids are having. It's common sense that at 10, your skin is still tender and not mature enough to handle the chemicals that comes with all these cosmetics. Even adults are not recommended to follow such an intense skincare routine as it can damage their natural skin barrier. This trend needs to stop now.
@@Cozy-CookingI did too but guess what, you still don’t need any of that stuff! Go to a dermatologist, like I did, and get a prescription for your acne. you don’t need retinol or whatever!!
@@Cozy-CookingA lot of ten year olds do aswell, but they absolutely do not need retinol, anti-aging, and anti-wrinkle skincare like drunk elephant for acne let alone some pimples. If anything, those type of products will just destroy their skin and make them look 50 when they're only 20. Of course a cleanser, moisturizer, and spf Is good and even prescribed medications for hormonal acne like I had
Lipgloss isn't comparable to high end skincare. Bad take. The lipliscious were $7-$10 and pink was like $18-20. It wasn't $80+ and the lines were marketed towards teens and college age, maybe even preteens if they felt too cool for Justice and Claires. My mom didn't care if I had tons of lipgloss or body spray if I paid for it myself, and it wasn't about anti-aging. Most kids like that stuff because it smelt good. Lipgloss and body spray are like the most basic things to be into.
@brookeanderson1058 but you are, and there are 15 years between millennials as well. We didn't sink $100 just for one product for skin care. You're comparing banana VS. broccoli.
@@brookeanders0nno offense but it wasn’t a simple comparison as you’re making it seem. The video seemed like you were trying to defend what they wanted bc we as millennials had the things you had mentioned in the video. When it is vastly different. You are comparing lip gloss and body spray to expensive skincare… I’m sure had they just wanted lip gloss (laneige) and body spray ( sol de janeiro) no one would care. And I’m not trying to hate or whatever I’m just saying how it comes across.
I am not defending this whatsoever and I'm a millennial but there's a difference between us playing with makeup as kids, and whatever this crap is. It started a few years ago when everyone got all goo goo ga ga with makeup influencers, younger kids started wearing more serious make up looks, which transgressed to wanting skin care routines for 15 year olds, and those 15 year olds are inadvertently influencing 10 year olds to go to effing Sephora. This isn't normal it's extreme capitalism and marketing and it's lame. 10 year olds don't need to be going to Sephora 😂
@@halroxdynasty8683 a bunch of companies in like 2019 or 2020 like bubble, drunk elephant, byoma, Glow recipe And any other popular skincare brand I might not know of started making skin care, and it just became a huge trend in 2023, now 2024 Because a lot of people were thinking about it and little kids mainly want to look up to the older people posting about skin care and they were born in gen Alpha that says a lot, because 2010 was when the first iPhone or tablet was ever made so they are just growing up with a tablet in their face and I won’t lie. I grow up like that too I was an ipad kid all I did watch is TH-cam and sometimes I did go outside but overall I was an iPad kid But I wasn’t the type of kid who would throw a fit and my mom just put an iPad in my face to make me stop crying because if I throw a fit my mom would beat me but the other kids are just getting an iPad thrown in their face every time they throw a fit
I feel just because you relate to these kids doesn’t mean that their behavior is valid. I understand and respect the compassion you are having but I believe there’s a bigger issues at hand. The way these products are shoved in their faces as well as who’s marketing to them is an issue. If I were to go into a store and completely ruin products, creating messes and being overall rude there would be consequences to my actions. The parents are a part of the problem and so is society at large. Kids can’t be kids anymore. Saying we were like them is ignoring the reality of the times we lived in. I appreciate your energy for this video but this is a blanket over a mess kinda vibe.
Tbh honest I don’t think it’s the kids over 10 I’ve heard people talking saying 8-13 but 11,12 and13 yo aren’t out there ruining products cause they areent alphas
@@Me-vc2dm you lost me at alpha fam. It didn’t really matter the age, rather the lack of 3rd space and kids being pressured into growing up faster than they should have too. Idk if the YT comments will solve the problem but it’s good we’re having discourse. Just because we collected lip glosses or silly bands is nowhere near the pressure of having perfect skin and looking like an airbrushed model that’s been photoshopped to “perfection”.
This is so true like i am 12 years old but i dont wear makeup iv never went to sephora like its messed up giving 9y olds 90 dollar skin care like what their moms shoulf be putting body lotion on them not drunk elephatnt
Its not that they are allowed to be interested in makeup and skin care as many of us were at that age. Its the fact that they are actually DESTROYING the products in the stores and there are no consequences for their actions. I really don't think there is any way to justify it.
Like many have mentioned, middle school aged to teenage girls were the target audience for most of these products. Also, the skincare products (excluding the toner in Proactiv) were mostly for cleansing the skin! Even the Wave was a cleanser with physical exfoliation (not chemical exfoliation like Drunk Elephant and Glow Recipe products). It's the active ingredient skincare at a luxury price point that make a difference between the two groups. Another difference is that they aren't being influenced by other teens (i.e. teen TH-camrs that were popular in the early 2010s). Now, their influencers are young adults in their late teens to mid-twenties. It's adults pushing an idea of beauty on actual children that's creating a concern too.
Lip balms are different than 9 year olds using retinols that are so expensive most adult women wouldn't buy them! It's about the fact that they destroy everthing (testers, unopened stock) and act demanding and entitled. It's def how they were brought up, but yes, we had an interest in beauty at that age, but it's that these gen alpha kids are taking it to the enth degree and it's scary.
Why should we care if some adult women can't afford something while for others it is cheap? The main problem is them making a mess for the workers. Also, Sephora can make rules and implement them if they think the stores are losing money because of this. They won't because all of the hype and news are making them money. Drunk Elephant for example has such a high markup just because of their marketing, not because their raw materials are better than drugstore brands.
@1111yam reality is if the parents want to spend on their children, that is their perogative. It is none of our business and we can't do anything about it. The only entity that can solve this issue is the stores. No one under 18 can enter without and accompanying adult or something would be easy to implement. But Sephora won't do that, because they love the sales these kids are making them, and also their marketing team is targeting Gen Alpha since they are the next generation. That's the sad world we live in. 🤷♀️
I still play with mine now (Nintendo really gave it longevity... unlike the hinges on DS Lites lol). But yeah, I had acne as a 10 year old (classic early puberty) so I did have a skincare routine (just wash and moisturize... and I'd neglect moisturizer half the time). Maybe had like 3 body mists from bath and body works because VS was pricy to me as a kid back then. Only had 1 of those liplicious lipglosses because those were expensive to me too lol.
yeah honestly i remember the proactive craze. it’s crazy tho they would always advertise it on like nick, teen nick, disney, etc. cuz yeah ig some teenagers are watched it but it was most pre teens who didn’t need all that😭
Them VS sprays thooo✨ the shape of the bottle was SO cool & remember the QUALITY of alllll VS products was well worth the money spent things have changed SO much since then!! 🌸👙🌼🫧
Don’t hate the 10 yo, hate the parents that don’t teach them respect, discipline and allow them to destroy the samples and other products. There is no problem if them want skincare and make up it is up to the parents to decide of that is age aproppiate, the problematic part is the behaviour, for all I care they could have their summer fridays lipbalm instead of the chapsticks we used to collect. Just teach the kids some respect
That’s fracking insane. Still nowhere near as bad at the Sephora kids so I wouldn’t feel to bad 🙃💖When I was 10 I was playing with Barbie’s, tamagotchi’s & collecting cute stationary. I remember having pretty cool flavoured lip balms in my stocking at Christmas, my little pony etc.. my only nail polishes were the peel off kind & the only thing I ever wanted at the store was stickers, bubble bath & candy 🦄🫧 🍭 actually thinking about this is so nostalgic it just brought back a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time. A magical Christmas feeling & I like it 🥹🎄💕❄️😊
I remember when some EOS got recalled because they were causing burns and rashes on some people 💀 I never had one when I was a kid, but I was terrified to use it after seeing that
Literally nobody had this stuff. The most girls my age had growing up would be the cheap Walmart Disney princess nail and lotion sets or cute little colorful hair ties from Claire’s. There is no excuse for these iPad kids or their parents destroying products at stores or wanting to grow up too fast. My generation was busy with eating snow cones and watching Cartoon Network.
Yes every single over 100 million 10 year Olds in the 90s were very respectful to everyone on earth bc we all know gen alpha created vandalism and rudness 🙄 I swear the way yall talk with such confidence for an entire generation is beyond wild you woukd legit think you knew the childhood history of every millennial alive and deseased. Children are children in every gen , it's only bc yall can see gen alpha and genz online with way more access than millennials and genx to post their mistakes in life and bd moments were most of you all fails in life as kids were contained to your local area or family /friends.
I'm 39, I can tell you I never touched a single one of those things. We had Lip Smackers, Kaboodles, Starter Jackets, and no one cared about anyone's skin care. Proactive sure as hell was not in any one's bathroom for no reason.
We are millennials, we cared for our products, cute lip glosses for our age, skin products for our age, we were so happy to collect. These alpha kids are destroying products at cosmetic stores, that's not okay. The kids are also putting chemical burning skin care on when their skin isn't ready. The kids are opening the packages and making a huge mess with the testers, running around and breaking things. Throwing tantrums and yelling at customers and staff. Very disrespectful children, it makes me super sad. 😢
I’m gen z and I know plenty of gen alpha who aren’t like this. like yea they want the products, but not all completely destroy them. I take my sis to Sephora a bunch and she only tests the products she knows she’s getting. she is so organized and cares for her stuff. so stop saying this stuff just because about 25% of kids are doing it.
I didn’t have any of this at 10 as a millenial. I didn’t have proactive till I was a teenager fighting acne. And those other things I don’t remember at all. This is not stuff I was interested in at all at 10. I do remember having lip smackers but chapstick is normal for people of any age. I literally was playing with Barbie’s and dream garden babies at 10
Part of that is because she's not a millennial, she's older gen Z. Her jr high experience lines up with the trends that came around when I was in hs - B&B lipglosses just straight up weren't a thing until then and even in hs I don't remember ANYONE caring what your skin routine was - the idea that skin care is fashionable is solidly a Gen Z thing. I'm the last of the generation that used toner but not moisturizer 😭
The difference is a lot of us didn’t trash the places or were left unsupervised or alone, or were rude or bullies, I only got some of these things because family bought it for me, i didn’t even go to these stores till I was older, and if I went because my mom wanted to grab something for herself I knew to respect where I went, and not touch things, and wasn’t left out of sight, see nothing wrong with playing around with a lip smacker that had a scent or using a proper exfoliation tool (though that one was meh) most of the things I see kids getting now are expensive and for adults and I didn’t see or use till I was already out of highschool even and into my twenties. From what I remember too I had a friend with proactive for her bad acne but it was prescribed, not sure if that was the standard. Nowadays kids are on social media and influenced a lot to get things for adults that they don’t need or are bad for their skin rather than a good acne treatment. When I was a kid it was honest fun I didn’t know about all these things kids know about now and worry about, I was having fun playing dress up and trying to take care of my skin as I dealt with lot of acne and scarring and hyperpigmentation and sensitivity. All these things are honestly fine, and to me doesn’t compare to what I see happening with this newer generation of kids that grew up online. That being said there were a lot of really bad skincare items back then even for kids, and my mom surely wasn’t aware either what was good, I had bad hormonal acne as a child with lot of scarring and sensitive skin that reacted to lot of products so it made it really difficult too.
I had baby lips lipgloss and the gloss from the beauty supply store and some Aveno lotion for my eczema and if my mom was being extra she would let me buy the nutregena skin bar or noxema
@@Arginnefrom what she mentioned about having all the lipglosses she’s probably one of those ‘popular’ girl spoiled by parents. I’m not that older than she is, I went to expensive private schools and none of us was having hundreds of lipglosses.
As a millennial I have a different view lol as a 10 year old I was hella not into make up nor skin care! The only lip gloss I ever got if so was from the dollar store and I was not vandalizing the store and making a mess!
I remember a blue Lancôme lipgloss being super popular when I was in 7th grade and BEGGING my mom for it. She eventually got it in a Lancôme gift pack for herself and gave it to me. However when she shopped at Macys my brother and I could go to the comic/ book store to read, the toy store, Limited Too etc.
From what I’ve heard from other people, what the biggest concern is the attitude of the kids at Sephora. Many people have commented on other videos like this that kids will literally reach over and across ur face to grab a product and then get mad at you for not moving. Or other rude things that their mom literally see but not say anything. I think that is the bigger issue here.
Yup! I never used it but one of my older sisters had really bad acne as a teenager. We were lower middle class growing up, so my parents bought her a Proactiv set for Christmas after she had been begging for it for so long. She used it for about 3 months with literally no results. Her acne stayed consistent and she even said that it would sting a little bit after she used it
Yeah, Proactive was just kinda expensive pseudo clinical acne treatments. I think she's underestimating how fashionable skin care has become - NO ONE talked about what skin care products you were using when I was in Jr High and later on on HS when Proactive actually really became a thing - and there were only, like three brands on the market anyways. The comparison between Proactive and Drunk Elephant is really uncanny to me.
Eh I’d have to disagree, lip gloss like that is targeted for kids, the perfumes are fine, and I don’t know any other person in my life (maybe it’s different as a Canadian) that had used any of those skincare products as kids, and our parents were easy to say no and I understood that. Besides when I was little we had no way to see the viral or trendy stuff, so I was acting my age, still totally into the toys and such. But I understand where you are coming from, it’s just a different age group that is coming into the open who don’t necessarily get said no to as much. 😅
@@8luvbugThey were bought by the brand that owns Wet and Wild. After they acquired them, the quality really went down. 😢 I still have some new ones from 2006 that I keep as a collector’s piece definitely can’t use them 😂).
First of all, I feel like the most we were using at 10 was beauty supply store lipgloss and the Maybelline pink and green tube mascara. Maybe a pop of glittery dollar store/wet n wild eyeshadow for special occasions. My mom NEVER bought me anything from Sephora or Ulta and everything I used was paid for with saved up cash from birthdays and Christmas. I washed my face with oatmeal soap and used those burning Noxema face pads. All for a quarter of the price of Drunk Elephant. The 10 year olds of today are delusional, they don't need retinols and AHA's!
This is overkill. When I was that age, I would've never even thought about asking for that stuff. I also didn't see it everywhere cause social media wasn't really a thing yet..not like this.. (Born in '96) Even when i was in the 10-12 y/o age range, i was girly and liked doing my hair and using lotions, lip gloss,etc. I did beg my mom for a razor to start shaving when i turned 11 though. 😂 I think the whole "growing up faster" thing has only gotten worse and social media exacerbated it.
There’s a major difference… When millennials were 10 years old, they were buying affordable products. They were buying things you could get at regular stores. A tube of lipgloss is not unreasonable and when your kid you might want 20 tubes of lip gloss. There’s a big difference between a five dollar tube of lip gloss and a $40 facial cleanser designed for anti-aging. it also comes down to the destructive nature of their behavior. There’s so many things wrong with all of it. I will see children who are using alpha, hydroxy acids and retinoids on their faces and they haven’t even hit puberty. Never mind how expensive it is how about the fact that it’s probably not doing anything good and could potentially be harming their skin?it’s just insanity
But we didn't destroy test samples... We weren't left in the stores to 'play' with make up... I only cared about lip balm and i treated them with respect.

Most of the things you mentioned are aimed at kids/teens though and are a fraction of the price. I’m not hating on the kids they’re just being influenced by the trends after all, but there is something a little bit disturbing about 10-year-olds buying anti-aging creams and serums. It just not meant for them and it’s sad that this is what kids are putting on Christmas and birthday lists now.
anti aging creams- these people arent even 20 i cant-
I'm 11 I don't even have a single product of skin care or what ever. Dut that doesn't mean that bcs you thing is bad that everyone thinks is bad like like little girls are going to Sephora with their parents so their parents let them is not their fault is their parents fault so shut up and keep the opinion and the comments adout others to your self is not our problem your jealous 🙄🙄🙄
As a millennial, the closest I got to anti-aging products as a pre-teen was collagen moisturizer from St. Ives. My mom told me that I certainly don’t need that.
Fr. I love how these kids are getting instilled with a healthy habit to take care of their skin but you can also get a really good routine at Ulta or Target for 50$. These kids are spending hundreds on a few products that they don't really need. Expensive does not mean better. Not to mention, the destroying of samples.

Right??? As a 23 year old I feel like I’m an unworthy peasant to even look at the luxury beauty (Fenty, Benefit etc). Now we got kids trashing the place with no shame.
And we, for the most part, went into stores targeted at kids. I was OBSESSED with claires as a kid
@@user-gx1vx7li3x millenial and gen z kids didn’t destroy stores. But millennial parents let their kids do it because they don’t know how to actually raise their kids. Two things can be true
And we didn't do black facing. (I've seen videos come by of sephora kids doing this)
Not everyone does that tho
I think the biggest difference for me was that my friends and I bought things that were cheap, age appropriate, and we weren't rude to other shoppers or staff. I didn't think I was "allowed" to go into Sephora until I was in middle school. It was kinda scary.
The first time I went to Sephora was last summer and I had to work up the courage to talk to an employee just to ask where a good clay mask was! These kids are rude and there should be minimum age to enter Sephora if you are not with an adult
i’m a teenager and the first time i went to sephora or ulta was less than a month ago so to see 8 YEAR OLDS buying retinol and other serums is just a shock to me
God loves you and calls you to repentance. Tomorrow is not a promise, and God does not want you to die in sin; but to repent and believe in Jesus Christ.
That is why Jesus Christ (God made Man) died on the cross. You broke the Law, but Christ paid your fine. He suffered in your place, as your Substitute, and rose again after three days, now seated at the right hand of the Father; He is King over all.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).
Christ is coming soon.

I feel washing your face, putting a mask and moisturizer is something everyone should do. Retinols and all that in ur 20s.

@@vqbl795no but if a ten year old ever did do that I wouldnt have judged them, I remember putting on my mums olay cream and walking around the house in her heeled boots and I also remember why I did that: because I wanted to be a grown up. They just need someone to explain it to them that this stuff is unnecessary and that theres no need to rush growing up bc it will happen. Bashing 10 year olds is not cute and it says everything about you and nothing about them
At 10 yrs old almost all of the stuff you mentioned was waaaay out of our price ranges. We had lip smackers and the cheap body sprays and lotions from Walmart. We didn't get BBW till we were a little older. Def didn't even get to walk into VS till I was a teenager and it was to browse lol we didn't even have an Ulta until I was grown. Sephora was waaaay out of our leagues. Still is for me for the most part as a 35 yr old woman. We didn't even get to walk into it as teens and damn sure didn't at TEN yrs old.
Yeah at 10 years old I don't know if I was even using facewash... if I was it was clean & clear paired with dove shampoo and conditioner which I thought was luxury.
Exactly !!!!! I was so confused watching this video …. How old is she? I was born in 1992… am I that old or?? Idk
I don't get this? Why didn't you get to walk into a shop? I don't get the issue of kids in a shop, I think people are mixing up several things into and here, Kids visiting a shop (not a problem), kids buying stuff at Sephora (where does a 10 year old have that kind of money from, that is a problem), kids behaving inappropriate in a shop (very much a problem, where are the parents???).
@MsMoople because we couldn't afford it and it was Victoria secret and I was only 10 yrs old.. a 10 yr old has no business shopping in a lingerie store. Back then they were almost nothing but lingerie and perfumes. Amd at 10 yrs old we didn't get to rum around the mall by ourselves so there was no sneaking off in there real quick. And my mom couldn't afford VS for herself so I had absolutely no business being in a VS at 10 yrs old. Same goes for separate. I had no business at 10 yrs old even being in one because I couldn't afford it nor was I old enough to wear the make up yet. What make up stuff I did have came from drug stores. And BBW was the same thing. It took me and my cousins some years to convince our moms into letting us buy body spray from there because they swore it was too expensive and not for kids. We made it in there quicker than we did any other store. And kids at 10 yrs old can't be trusted in more expensive shops. Not with an adult and specially not alone. They proved that in sephora.
@AnaAndYari idk either I was born in 89 so maybe we are just that old 😅😂
I was not a 10 year old in the makeup store lol im 33, i didnt start wearing actual makeup until i was like 17, and didnt actually truly get into it until my 20s. You had to be privileged to be getting ANY of the stuff you mentioned.
Privilege to have the own brand but a lot of us had the offbrand versions the Walmart brand version I definitely had every hair store lip gloss definitely had the Walmart, body mist etc. etc. it’s just different with these kids deem important and what they actually want. And a lot of them are forced to get the offbrand version of these new products because they don’t have the money or the privilege or their parents don’t have the money or the privilege.
A lot of the products listed were affordable. Sounds like your parents just didn’t want to buy any of that stuff

@@thewiglady0098 what parent was buying their kids this stuff ? I VERY rarely saw kids wear any of this
@sylvie4485 it's not just about the price, what parent gets makeup items for kids ? Especially like this
I'm baffled by how much this "trend" also highlights the class disparity between different groups of girls. As a younger millennial, I remember vividly that bath n body works was considered a luxury brand, as like something you'd get for your birthday. My first ever perfume was by bath n body works and I felt like an it girl. I feel like this economic disparity is going to be me even more obvious with the younger gen.
I think it's because of the combination of people having less kids or mostly having kids they know they can afford. Kids are now becoming like a accessary rather than a person. Also social media influence is exposing these kids to things they really don't need.
Yeah, I can't relate. As a geriatric millennial, my parents could afford to buy me Bath and Body Works anything back in my day. My first purchase was probably when I was 16, after I got a job. Even then, that was considered a treat. Skincare products was whatever was on sale at Walmart. Very basic stuff like Oxy or Clean and Clear.
It was Victoria Secret fragrances that were considered luxury brand for me in school. While almost every girl had bath and body works
Bath and body works was something ever girl in my school had.I got lucky and got some. I wanted to be like my peers. It didn't turn out that way.
Yup I never got bath and body works it was so expensive I had calgon and body fantasies from Navarro and cvs 😂
But there’s a big difference - those products were actually appropriate for kids/teens. Now kids are using skincare with active ingredients that will damage their skin and they’re destroying products in the store. What we did as kids is not comparable to what’s currently happening with this “skincare smoothie” trend.
Edit to add: There’s nothing wrong with kids buying age-appropriate skincare like moisturizer, and I am by no means saying that ALL kids in Sephora are doing this. I’m simply saying that this trend is concerning and it’s not really comparable to things we collected like Baby Lips and Bath and Body Works. Children are using products like retinol and chemical peels to “prevent aging” when they haven’t even finished growing yet. That should be concerning to everyone.
Analogy: isn't always direct coralation but simply the closest comparison to xyz example .
@@yassine8935 It doesn’t have to be a direct comparison, but it does have to be a *reasonable* comparison. Saying “we collected beauty products too” is in no way comparable to “they go into stores to destroy expensive products and are using dangerous ingredients that will damage their skin.” It is not a reasonable comparison.
@@kathryn6092no yeah ur right
Finally, someone acknowledges this. A lot of drunk elephant products contain things such as retinal that are specifically for anti aging are very attractive to young girls because they are the ones in the pink packaging.
Please keep in mind that this is just an opinion, if you're going to be respectful I'd love to hear yours.
I’m 11 and personally like skin care and I have some but i have to say I only get stuff that my mom approves of and that is safe for kid skin so I literally have to wait days before getting a product because my mom have to research it first to see if it is safe for me and I literally only get it for my acne and oily skin but besides that I cannot believe how rude bratty and disrespectful these kids are my mom would slap me and punish in front of everyone in that store if I did that 😂 and honestly it is insane that they open the package and use and put it back if they don’t like it costing Sephora millions of dollars I just can’t at this point just ban kids from Sephora I don’t care if that includes me this is getting way to out of hand
When I was a kid, I was looking through the Avon brochure & wanted Hannah Montana Lip Balm 😂😂
It’s sweet you’re trying to defend them, and you’re right to an extent that we shouldn’t *hate* on them per say, maybe they will listen if we give them more gentle guidance and actually explain to them why these products you mentioned are age appropriate and why you cannot just trash stores and/or try products that are not test products ( which I’ve seen them do) instead of just making fun of them online
Blud she is just saying what she used at 10 get a grip 🤦♀️🤦♀️ I mean 10 year olds don’t need retinol . But don’t hate them for that-
Gen Alpha needs to be supervised at Sephora and Sephora needs to bring back that one rule if your at a young age you can’t come in without supervision from an adult. 😩 Like they could shop there for items that they actually need and those attitudes of theirs needs to be humbled real fast.

It's definitely not the same thing. The items you mentioned are all targeted for preteens and young teenagers. They are age-appropriate.. If the kids today were making TikToks and out buying the things you mentioned, nobody would be faulting them or their parents.
With respect, the issue with the Sephora kids isn’t just the fact that they’re using stuff they don’t need. They are being rude to workers and destroying the testers in the store, opening products from their boxes, etc.
To be fair though Proactive was just actually helping our teenage acne. And needed for some people. it wasn’t super extra the whole point was it was only three steps and I don’t know if most people were super rude about it yanking it off shelves and bagging about it maybe some people were most of us were quiet about the fact that we had acne at least where I went to school
I was going to say this. Ya I agree. Using proactive at my school too was not a flex, and also you’re supposed to be using ace products in middle school.
It was a huge flex at my middle school (2011-2013) I had wanted to get some but my parents said that I didn’t need it because I barely had acne. Meanwhile, my older sister had really bad acne and they bought her a 3 piece set for Christmas during that time. Even though I never used it once in my life, she would always get mad at me for touching it (just to move it out of the way) or if she saw me even looking at it
I used it. It definitely was not a flex to use it or have acne at 10. I hated using it. It was embarrassing to have to use it so early. Idk why tf anyone would want to have to do an acne treatment x2 daily everyday at 10. My mum had to help me bc I was so exhausted in the morning, but she was committed to trying to clear up horrible my skin. I feel sorry, for my child self.
No, seriously, i NEEDED tht at 10 😭 i went thru puberty early n started to get acne at 9 n i STILL get acne bad at 23. My skin just hated me. I'm thankful it wasnt the cystic painful kind, but i still got acne in the weirdest places like black heads in my fn ears. I was struggling 😭@Afterlife2570
Using proactive was embarrassing because it meant you had bad skin. I was often told that I must not wash my face or must eat only junk food
i feel like these two eras aren't comparable because these kids are destroying the displays and making the tester products unsafe for others with their "skincare smoothies"
they're also using very strong retinols and exfoliants on their faces that will ruin their skin, probably forever
i agree that we shouldn't attack the kids, we should go after the parents that let these little kids have access to social media so young and for buying them these products without researching them
It’s not just kids doing the “skincare smoothies” and it’s not just kids breaking the testers 😂
i like your pfp :D
Yeah because going after the parents are gonna stop them 🤦♀️
I feel they're moreso just going to get a rude awakening when they damage their skin barrier and everything burns from not introducing actives slowly. That said, I doubt they'll permanently damage their skin, I mean, I was using Tretinoin and 15% azelaic acid daily in my teens, and my skin tolerated it just fine. The only issue is that these children probably don't do the research needed to use these actives and will end up starting them daily and overstripping their skin.
Thankfully my mom doesn’t let me get drunk elephant
It’s not about kids having products, it’s about kids showing respect and being taught respect.
All i cared when i was 10 was playing with my friends 😭
I didn’t even have friends at 10

Lipgloss and cleanser can't be compared with 10-step skincare and high-end cosmetics that these Sephora kids are having. It's common sense that at 10, your skin is still tender and not mature enough to handle the chemicals that comes with all these cosmetics. Even adults are not recommended to follow such an intense skincare routine as it can damage their natural skin barrier. This trend needs to stop now.

Lipgloss isn't comparable to high end skincare. Bad take. The lipliscious were $7-$10 and pink was like $18-20. It wasn't $80+ and the lines were marketed towards teens and college age, maybe even preteens if they felt too cool for Justice and Claires. My mom didn't care if I had tons of lipgloss or body spray if I paid for it myself, and it wasn't about anti-aging. Most kids like that stuff because it smelt good. Lipgloss and body spray are like the most basic things to be into.

I am not defending this whatsoever and I'm a millennial but there's a difference between us playing with makeup as kids, and whatever this crap is.

Thank you so much for not hating on them I feel like everyone is going against them💗
I feel just because you relate to these kids doesn’t mean that their behavior is valid. I understand and respect the compassion you are having but I believe there’s a bigger issues at hand. The way these products are shoved in their faces as well as who’s marketing to them is an issue. If I were to go into a store and completely ruin products, creating messes and being overall rude there would be consequences to my actions. The parents are a part of the problem and so is society at large. Kids can’t be kids anymore. Saying we were like them is ignoring the reality of the times we lived in. I appreciate your energy for this video but this is a blanket over a mess kinda vibe.

@@Me-vc2dmI'm a Zalpha.
Its not that they are allowed to be interested in makeup and skin care as many of us were at that age. Its the fact that they are actually DESTROYING the products in the stores and there are no consequences for their actions. I really don't think there is any way to justify it.
Not too mention destroying their skin.
Like many have mentioned, middle school aged to teenage girls were the target audience for most of these products. Also, the skincare products (excluding the toner in Proactiv) were mostly for cleansing the skin! Even the Wave was a cleanser with physical exfoliation (not chemical exfoliation like Drunk Elephant and Glow Recipe products). It's the active ingredient skincare at a luxury price point that make a difference between the two groups.
Another difference is that they aren't being influenced by other teens (i.e. teen TH-camrs that were popular in the early 2010s). Now, their influencers are young adults in their late teens to mid-twenties. It's adults pushing an idea of beauty on actual children that's creating a concern too.
Okay- Not me having the Proactiv toner and primer as we speak- **I'm DEAD**
Lip balms are different than 9 year olds using retinols that are so expensive most adult women wouldn't buy them! It's about the fact that they destroy everthing (testers, unopened stock) and act demanding and entitled. It's def how they were brought up, but yes, we had an interest in beauty at that age, but it's that these gen alpha kids are taking it to the enth degree and it's scary.
Why should we care if some adult women can't afford something while for others it is cheap? The main problem is them making a mess for the workers. Also, Sephora can make rules and implement them if they think the stores are losing money because of this. They won't because all of the hype and news are making them money. Drunk Elephant for example has such a high markup just because of their marketing, not because their raw materials are better than drugstore brands.
@1111yam reality is if the parents want to spend on their children, that is their perogative. It is none of our business and we can't do anything about it. The only entity that can solve this issue is the stores. No one under 18 can enter without and accompanying adult or something would be easy to implement. But Sephora won't do that, because they love the sales these kids are making them, and also their marketing team is targeting Gen Alpha since they are the next generation. That's the sad world we live in. 🤷♀️

i use skincare as someone who was *almost* gen alpha but it's because of my acne that's getting a little out of hand. i use it because i need it.
this brought back so many memories, thank you ☺️
Don’t hate the 10 yo, hate the parents that don’t teach them respect, discipline and allow them to destroy the samples and other products. There is no problem if them want skincare and make up it is up to the parents to decide of that is age aproppiate, the problematic part is the behaviour, for all I care they could have their summer fridays lipbalm instead of the chapsticks we used to collect. Just teach the kids some respect
I had every flavor of Eos chapstick and I was very proud of it at 10 years old 😭
The eos omg I was obsessed
That’s fracking insane. Still nowhere near as bad at the Sephora kids so I wouldn’t feel to bad 🙃💖When I was 10 I was playing with Barbie’s, tamagotchi’s & collecting cute stationary. I remember having pretty cool flavoured lip balms in my stocking at Christmas, my little pony etc.. my only nail polishes were the peel off kind & the only thing I ever wanted at the store was stickers, bubble bath & candy 🦄🫧 🍭 actually thinking about this is so nostalgic it just brought back a feeling I haven’t felt in a long time. A magical Christmas feeling & I like it 🥹🎄💕❄️😊
Flavor lol
I remember when some EOS got recalled because they were causing burns and rashes on some people 💀 I never had one when I was a kid, but I was terrified to use it after seeing that
I was 24 years old when EOS came out. 💀
Thank you for being so nice about ten year olds. People have to stop being rude about it.
I love how you were so calm about this and did not seem angry at all. ❤
Literally nobody had this stuff. The most girls my age had growing up would be the cheap Walmart Disney princess nail and lotion sets or cute little colorful hair ties from Claire’s. There is no excuse for these iPad kids or their parents destroying products at stores or wanting to grow up too fast. My generation was busy with eating snow cones and watching Cartoon Network.
But we never went in and broke stuff and were rude to the employees, and we had manors
Yes every single over 100 million 10 year Olds in the 90s were very respectful to everyone on earth bc we all know gen alpha created vandalism and rudness 🙄 I swear the way yall talk with such confidence for an entire generation is beyond wild you woukd legit think you knew the childhood history of every millennial alive and deseased. Children are children in every gen , it's only bc yall can see gen alpha and genz online with way more access than millennials and genx to post their mistakes in life and bd moments were most of you all fails in life as kids were contained to your local area or family /friends.
Well you can’t really say that because everyone is different
Boomers said the exact same things about you lmao
Okay Draco, got some white peacocks in the manor too?
No one really knows because there's no video evidence from when I was a 10yo 😅 😂
At 10 yo I was obsessed with stickers and busy doing friendship bracelets
Same and I was obsessed with scented pencils. Like I'd beg my Dad to give me money so I can buy them st school 😅
@@cranburrey right me too!!😃
And they were crazy expensive!!
I'm 39, I can tell you I never touched a single one of those things. We had Lip Smackers, Kaboodles, Starter Jackets, and no one cared about anyone's skin care. Proactive sure as hell was not in any one's bathroom for no reason.
We are millennials, we cared for our products, cute lip glosses for our age, skin products for our age, we were so happy to collect. These alpha kids are destroying products at cosmetic stores, that's not okay. The kids are also putting chemical burning skin care on when their skin isn't ready. The kids are opening the packages and making a huge mess with the testers, running around and breaking things. Throwing tantrums and yelling at customers and staff. Very disrespectful children, it makes me super sad. 😢
You realize not all Alpha kids are the same. It's the same for us. Some of us are not the nicest, and some of us are.
@@user-pd3ml1og7tidk, most of y’all who get to do whatever y’all want are like this tho
Exactly, and we still get glared at when we walk in just because of other gremlins 😮💨
I’m gen z and I know plenty of gen alpha who aren’t like this. like yea they want the products, but not all completely destroy them. I take my sis to Sephora a bunch and she only tests the products she knows she’s getting. she is so organized and cares for her stuff. so stop saying this stuff just because about 25% of kids are doing it.
you say that as if its the kids fault
As a millennial, I didn’t have any of that stuff 😭 I had pjs and Build a Bears
Build a bears were my favorite
Agree!
I had those cheap makeup kits from Walmart 😂
So off topic but I have the same tile in my bathroom and I’ve never seen it somewhere else before loll 😭
Hahaha love that for us 😂
I was 10 in the 90s. Played with Barbies and Oregon Trail til I was 12.
I didn’t have any of this at 10 as a millenial. I didn’t have proactive till I was a teenager fighting acne. And those other things I don’t remember at all. This is not stuff I was interested in at all at 10. I do remember having lip smackers but chapstick is normal for people of any age. I literally was playing with Barbie’s and dream garden babies at 10
Part of that is because she's not a millennial, she's older gen Z. Her jr high experience lines up with the trends that came around when I was in hs - B&B lipglosses just straight up weren't a thing until then and even in hs I don't remember ANYONE caring what your skin routine was - the idea that skin care is fashionable is solidly a Gen Z thing. I'm the last of the generation that used toner but not moisturizer 😭
Nope, most of us weren’t overprivileged children with our parents money to spend
My parents rarely bought me anything either
I had an obsession with the Victoria’s Secret one lmfaoo
Exactly leave them alone (not talking about the kids who destroy products talking about kids who have an interest in skincare)
My Sephora was Claire’s and my lululemon was justice but never Destroyed anything
“Remember when WE were 10yo at Sephora?”
... giiiirl, you look 13yo today 😂
Haha thank you but I’m 27😂😂

@@brookeanders0nArent basically genz then? Does it start at 1998? So youd barely be a millennial?
The hollister lip glosses!!! You just unlocked a core memory
The difference is a lot of us didn’t trash the places or were left unsupervised or alone, or were rude or bullies, I only got some of these things because family bought it for me, i didn’t even go to these stores till I was older, and if I went because my mom wanted to grab something for herself I knew to respect where I went, and not touch things, and wasn’t left out of sight, see nothing wrong with playing around with a lip smacker that had a scent or using a proper exfoliation tool (though that one was meh) most of the things I see kids getting now are expensive and for adults and I didn’t see or use till I was already out of highschool even and into my twenties.
From what I remember too I had a friend with proactive for her bad acne but it was prescribed, not sure if that was the standard. Nowadays kids are on social media and influenced a lot to get things for adults that they don’t need or are bad for their skin rather than a good acne treatment.
When I was a kid it was honest fun I didn’t know about all these things kids know about now and worry about, I was having fun playing dress up and trying to take care of my skin as I dealt with lot of acne and scarring and hyperpigmentation and sensitivity.
All these things are honestly fine, and to me doesn’t compare to what I see happening with this newer generation of kids that grew up online. That being said there were a lot of really bad skincare items back then even for kids, and my mom surely wasn’t aware either what was good, I had bad hormonal acne as a child with lot of scarring and sensitive skin that reacted to lot of products so it made it really difficult too.
Still, that doesn’t make it acceptable for them to be doing these things and parents should be correcting this behavior
I’m millennial but at 10 years old I didn’t need any of the stuff you mentioned. Maybe a lip balm and Nivea cream. That’s all.
We had the lip smackers. No idea what this girl is even talking about I didn’t care ab those other things till I was a later teenager.
@@Arginne exactly…. I know that times have changed but 10-11 years old knowing about retinol is a bit wild
@@martinam7806 tbh I'm around that age and I'm kinda concerned I mean a cleanser moisturiser and a lip balm is good enough😅
I had baby lips lipgloss and the gloss from the beauty supply store and some Aveno lotion for my eczema and if my mom was being extra she would let me buy the nutregena skin bar or noxema
@@Arginnefrom what she mentioned about having all the lipglosses she’s probably one of those ‘popular’ girl spoiled by parents. I’m not that older than she is, I went to expensive private schools and none of us was having hundreds of lipglosses.
Hi so I’m ten but I don’t mess up any testers at sephora and only use skin products for my age
Me over here being 10 and still liking the stuff you like and not only a drop of skin care
Yeah but at 10, we didn’t go into stores and destroy shit and panic about aging. We used kid makeup and whatnot.
As a millennial I have a different view lol as a 10 year old I was hella not into make up nor skin care! The only lip gloss I ever got if so was from the dollar store and I was not vandalizing the store and making a mess!
Omg the proactive 😭😭🤣🤣
I was obsessed with the Body Shop!!! I’m having flashbacks of my cucumber cleanser and masks I was obsessed with. I want to buy it now!
I remember a blue Lancôme lipgloss being super popular when I was in 7th grade and BEGGING my mom for it. She eventually got it in a Lancôme gift pack for herself and gave it to me. However when she shopped at Macys my brother and I could go to the comic/ book store to read, the toy store, Limited Too etc.
Yupp that’s my era too Lancôme Juicy Tubes, lip smackers balm & gloss in ALL the flavors, & rollerball scented glitter from B&BW 💕🫐🍬
From what I’ve heard from other people, what the biggest concern is the attitude of the kids at Sephora. Many people have commented on other videos like this that kids will literally reach over and across ur face to grab a product and then get mad at you for not moving. Or other rude things that their mom literally see but not say anything. I think that is the bigger issue here.
Not the Wave! Oh my god, I have just rediscovered a memory.
The fact that we actually thought we needed to items from Victoria’s Secret at 10 years old
When I was ten (I’m a young gen z) I just wanted American girl dolls…
I have 2 dolls. I loved getting the catalog trying to get all the accessories for...man good ol times lol
Like yea but I still think 10 is too young for makeup at this point idc about skincare. Just PLEASE don’t use retinol you don’t need it.
Agreed!
The dance with Cinderella was adorable! She’s a theater girly thru and thru
i recently rebought that VS bodyspray from 2009 and it was so nostalgic to smell it again
when i was 10 i was begging my mom to go to claire’s and touching EVERYTHING😭
When I was in middle and high school I only remember Proactiv being for kids with really bad acne. Jokes on us, it was terrible for our skin. 😅
Yup! I never used it but one of my older sisters had really bad acne as a teenager. We were lower middle class growing up, so my parents bought her a Proactiv set for Christmas after she had been begging for it for so long. She used it for about 3 months with literally no results. Her acne stayed consistent and she even said that it would sting a little bit after she used it
Yeah, Proactive was just kinda expensive pseudo clinical acne treatments. I think she's underestimating how fashionable skin care has become - NO ONE talked about what skin care products you were using when I was in Jr High and later on on HS when Proactive actually really became a thing - and there were only, like three brands on the market anyways. The comparison between Proactive and Drunk Elephant is really uncanny to me.
You brought back memories I forgot I had
You should see us gen z sephora kids 😭 too faced chocolate palette, abh glow kit and kylie lip kits were the trend for us
Eh I’d have to disagree, lip gloss like that is targeted for kids, the perfumes are fine, and I don’t know any other person in my life (maybe it’s different as a Canadian) that had used any of those skincare products as kids, and our parents were easy to say no and I understood that. Besides when I was little we had no way to see the viral or trendy stuff, so I was acting my age, still totally into the toys and such.
But I understand where you are coming from, it’s just a different age group that is coming into the open who don’t necessarily get said no to as much. 😅
I was a kid when I used those lip glosses so that’s right! They’re not even sold anymore haha
I had *respect* for the stores I went to, *huge* difference!
Facts! The VS pink fresh and clean went crazyyy
THE COLA LIPGLOSSES OMGG
Has anyone kept lip smackers as a kid before? I did and now im thinking of buying them again
I miss those...do they even have the lip gloss anymore I could go for a strawberry kiwi lol
I have so many! I love them ❤
Wow I thought lip smackers were discontinued
@@8luvbugThey were bought by the brand that owns Wet and Wild. After they acquired them, the quality really went down. 😢 I still have some new ones from 2006 that I keep as a collector’s piece definitely can’t use them 😂).
First of all, I feel like the most we were using at 10 was beauty supply store lipgloss and the Maybelline pink and green tube mascara. Maybe a pop of glittery dollar store/wet n wild eyeshadow for special occasions. My mom NEVER bought me anything from Sephora or Ulta and everything I used was paid for with saved up cash from birthdays and Christmas. I washed my face with oatmeal soap and used those burning Noxema face pads. All for a quarter of the price of Drunk Elephant. The 10 year olds of today are delusional, they don't need retinols and AHA's!
Girl when I was in high school and learned the blue underline/black overline on the upper lid you couldnt tell me shit
The pink fresh and clean was so good and the pink top one fruity and bright lol
Yesssss
This is overkill. When I was that age, I would've never even thought about asking for that stuff. I also didn't see it everywhere cause social media wasn't really a thing yet..not like this.. (Born in '96) Even when i was in the 10-12 y/o age range, i was girly and liked doing my hair and using lotions, lip gloss,etc. I did beg my mom for a razor to start shaving when i turned 11 though. 😂 I think the whole "growing up faster" thing has only gotten worse and social media exacerbated it.
There’s a major difference… When millennials were 10 years old, they were buying affordable products. They were buying things you could get at regular stores. A tube of lipgloss is not unreasonable and when your kid you might want 20 tubes of lip gloss. There’s a big difference between a five dollar tube of lip gloss and a $40 facial cleanser designed for anti-aging. it also comes down to the destructive nature of their behavior. There’s so many things wrong with all of it. I will see children who are using alpha, hydroxy acids and retinoids on their faces and they haven’t even hit puberty. Never mind how expensive it is how about the fact that it’s probably not doing anything good and could potentially be harming their skin?it’s just insanity
When I was 10, it was Claire's and kids unicorn makeup 😂
I can still smell the proactive hahaha but i actually needed it in middle school 🥴
But we didn't destroy test samples... We weren't left in the stores to 'play' with make up... I only cared about lip balm and i treated them with respect.
Bro I was still eating cherry chapstick at 10. That was the extent of my "beauty routine"...
Finally someone who understands not all ten year olds are rude and mean love this thanks
When I was ten (currently 14 not long ago) fidgets and slime were all the rage and now I have so many extra fidgets 😂😂😂
