Halo taco is definitely worth the price. It stays on my nails for weeks when no other brand does, and the holo makes it freaking gorgeous!!! She has 'one coat black' and 'not milky white,' and they are the most opaque black and white nail polishes I've ever tried.

[@meijelly]

​@@isoliviaraplace customs are taxes /fees that one has to pay when shipping items from one country to another. Mia had to pay that price because it was going from the USA to Canada

[@karenneill9109]

It is the sender’s fault if the customs are insane. It means they haven’t bothered to set up a customs arrangement, or looked into it at all. If you ‘ship’ the item without a contract, it is going to be insane. If it’s food, or anything perishable, it will be way worse. Any US sender who takes three seconds to set up a contract with a shipping company will save their customers a ton of money. I simply refuse to pay insane customs fees- I once had to pay $2.55cdn in tax, but with all the shipping fees and brokerage fees it was over $60.00 added!!!! Bonkers! (PS- a couple of tips- keep it under $100 if u can, they don’t usually charge under $100. Tell the sender to send it via regular mail- Canada post brokerage fees are way cheaper than the for profit guys.).

Another Aussie here and I agree with you about sending to Australia. Holo taco is great I have been using it for years. Don’t understand the import tax though. Happy for someone to explain it.

I would be scared to order online if I never knew I would have to pay $100+ to receive my parcel. I mean you can't just say no and get a refund from the store I assume.

As a fellow Canadian I super appreciate you including the amount for customs as I always want to try some of these products but get gun shy when unsure of the amount so it's nice to get a ballpark for what it might be. 😀

[@reedszvoren8814]

Why are the fees so much? Especially for a small package? As an American I don’t understand. Especially because she paid $20 in shipping

[@dragondungeon6986]

@reed szvoren so the shipping fee goes to the seller to cover the cost of sending it. The customs (I believe) is essentially duties and taxes and it typically only applies to things above a certain value. Unfortunately for Mia, a lot of these items are over that value and might even fall under the 'luxury goods' additional taxes. I don't really know the details but I think those things may be taxed higher to help prevent smuggling and importing for resale through improper channels. It can be a big bummer though and sometimes seems way out of wack where the customs end up more expensive than the original order!

[@glendabrown1154]

I work at the post office and it’s decided by Canadian border services! From my experience its basically the tax amount for your province plus a service fee! It depends on the Canadian value of the parcel and the reason for import! A gift valued at less than $100 is not likely going to have customs. A sale/purchase will likely get charged! I also believe if you frequently make purchases outside the country the more likely you will be charged customs! (Note: If you order tobacco products internationally you also get slammed with fees previously mentioned plus duties…it’s never worth it!)

Am I the only one who thinks the workout dress is SO not cute? It’s not anything about Mia - I’ve seen others try it on also and it always looks so ugly to me. The black color is better than the pink which I’ve seen tried on and it’s a dingy, approaching skin kind of tone, drab color pink. I cannot figure out WHY THE HECK people think it’s cute! Is it because it’s something that isn’t commonly seen (a workout dress) and so that fact somehow translates into “it’s cute”?? The flare leggings were cute on Mia. The dress is a HELLLLLLL NO.

Can I ask.. What is the customs fee all about, and why is it so high? And why aren't customers told before they make the purchase how much it will be?

[@maplecake]

@@katyb2793 as far as I know, custom fees are fees imposed by the government of each country for basically importing an item from another country. Like an extra charge for not buying an item from a local vendor. I know nothing about how the fees are calculated or which items get them, and online vendors don’t know either, since custom fees are unique to each country, so the most they can tell a customer is “this may be subject to custom fees”🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ROSSIGRL584]

I was hoping so badly you’d be impressed with Christine’s nail products. She puts soooo much work into her holo taco line.

[@mandyheart8754]

I’m curious- how do you know how much work Christine puts into her polish line? I’m not saying you’re wrong but how would you know? (Unless you know her personally or work for the company?) I mean, I’ve heard her talk about how she swatches the colors on her nails - as I’d expect anyone who starts their own nail polish company, to do. I’d also expect her to test the formulas and do wear tests - again - as any cosmetic type company founder would do (I’m sure Manny MUA works on and tests various formulas and shades for his cosmetics, as did Nikki Tutorials with her products and Tati with her vitamins and palette, etc.). It actually seems like perhaps less work for a nail polish company owner than a cosmetic brand owner, when it comes to formulations and trials, as nail polish has a few different items to develop (top coat, jelly, creme, sparkle, metallic formulas…and surely there are similarities across each), whereas Manny tests and approves many different products (eyeshadows and lip products and highlighters and blushes, etc.). Yeah, I’m sure there are owners who choose to be less involved in formulating and mixing up shades, however we - as random people - would have no way of knowing how much time and effort brand creators invest in creating, testing and approving their products. (Unless there’s a personal relationship with the creator and/or company) Simply hearing such creators say things like “I work hard on my products” or “I spend a lot of time creating my products” is what any brand owner would want viewers and customers to believe, and isn’t reliable info. I’ve heard Fiona Frills repeatedly discuss how shes knowledgeable about every ingredient in her Frilliance products and is super involved in formulating, yet any time she tries to speak about skincare and ingredients in general, nearly everything she says is incorrect, and makes it very clear that she is not knowledgeable about skincare ingredients and hasn’t invested her time into doing proper research. She typically makes comments that are giveaways when someone is not knowledgeable like using those nonsense terms “clean” “natural” “no chemicals” etc., in addition to the whole “Frilliance is made for teens and their skin issues”. What does that even mean? Maybe helps with acne issues, which tends to be an issue for many teens? However none of her products contain any active ingredients which have been proven to be effective in battling acne, such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Even tea tree oil isn’t to be found. That leaves a line of cream blush and highlighter, facial mist, lip gloss and maybe a brush - said to focus on the skin issues teens often have to help improve their skin. Call me crazy but I’ve never come across advice from someone knowledge in skin issues who has advised using “creme blush and highlighter, facial mist and lip gloss” as treatment to clear acne…or to improve anyone’s skin ever. That was a rant. However I am very bothered by start a brand and push their products onto customers, all while that owner has put zero effort into learning legitimate facts about what they make, and instead spout baseless nonsense to customers to get them to make purchases. ESPECIALLY when they sell to kids and teens. It’s wrong to tell teens that Frilloance products will help them achieve clear skin - when the products have no active ingredients to be able to treat acne, nor are the product types those that improve skin at all. Applying creme makeup doesn’t treat acne. Lies to kids and teens, all in aims of making money - one of the most dishonorable behaviors in selling beauty and any products.

Late to the game but... I would say Holo Taco's price point is on par with drug store polishes in the US. I've tried $35-40 high end nail polishes and they don't begin to compare to $11 Holo Taco!!

[@addison5829]

hi mia! love the video💗💗, if anyone didn’t already know this, mr.beasts chocolate is actually bigger, but they do come in a mini size! they are more common to find in stores since everyone buys the bigger ones😂, thats why when she checked on the website, they were selling the full bars, so full price! you can also see in a clip that she shows of his video where he introduces the chocolate, it is much bigger than what she had, anyways, love you mia!!

[@mageavet]

This is such a fun video to watch. I love the style of cuts, animations, graphics...the video editing in general! ♡ btw, that starwberry outfit with the matching earrings are too adorable!

[@Sortjuh]

I literally just sat down with my Holo Taco to do my nails while I watch Mia, when SURPRISE! My two favourite things the internet brought me in one video!

[@n3onstars]

I love Holo Taco. I only own 4 colors and some holos, but when one of them was bad, they offered to send me new, and when it turned out it was sold out, they immediately refunded me. (I did keep it, and with some lacquer thinner, it works pretty well). I have the ones that are her cats colors. They're SO good.

[@circlewater]

As a fellow canadian, I just wanna thank you for taking the time to tell us the custom fees you had to pay for each products

[@lindatannock]

$5 for a chocolate bar is absolutely ridiculous!! 😳😱 Your customs charges for Chamberlain Coffee was insane. Omg! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

[@nicholevimmerstedt6759]

Why are not more people talking about how cute it sounds when Mia and her mom say matcha. It’s adorable 😭

[@elallen91]

Mia I'm so happy you liked Holo Taco! As a long time fan of Cristine and her nail polish brand, I'd love to suggest the Glossy Taco as a top coat for your nails. It will help your nail polish dry faster and last longer! 💜

[@Hibbity_Hobbity]

It’s such a treat to have Friday Mia videos again! Also, been loving the 2nd channel videos!

[@herafatima1312]

I had been manifesting the appearance of Holo taco on Mia's channel since the inception of Holo taco!! It makes my heart very happy!! 🥺❤️

[@hyucksbreadroll]

I'm so glad that skorts are "back in style" because I. LOVE. THEM. I don't know why I always got made fun of for wearing them cause like they're the greatest invention ever made.. THERE I SAID IT

[@Belbecat]

Man I thought I had it bad out here in NZ, glad to see even places like Canada can have trouble sometimes with getting stuff that ship to them just like us out here~

[@Eja132]

I’m just there like how are they shipping to Ireland and not Canada (I’m Irish btw) like I literally thought half of America didn’t even know Ireland was a place

[@melrhea12]

Mia, you are such a pure sweet soul! It’s such a breath of fresh air to see!

[@shaishai1175]

Mia attempting a ballet move made me laugh so hard ! Adorable ❤

[@1977felisha]

I am Holo Taco obsessed. Officially. I have every collection Cristine has released with Holo Taco. The only HT product I haven't purchased is the dad baseball hats. But as far as the polishes & tools & organizers... I have it all. I have watched other KZbinrs review Holo Taco & rightfully so, they all love it. Her collections sell out fast, especially the limited collections. I am not that skilled at painting my nails, but somehow her polishes make it easy to have a beautiful manicure. I get a lot of compliments, especially when I wear Laven-Duh. You should really give that color a try, Mia.

[@Maatjuhhh]

Mia, if you do sparkles again, and want more intense or fully covered sparkles, do it on a sponge first. The sponge will absorb more oil from the nail, leaving the sparkles. Then use the sponge to dab on the nails. Boom! Intense sparkle!

[@cynthiartiste3368]

You actually don’t with the one she bought. It is pretty intense if you don’t wipe the brush like she did. I’ve struggled trying to get it subtle rather than it’s full impact.

[@toxxicx]

i think you mean the sponge absorbs the polish base, leaving the glitter. there is no oil

[@Maatjuhhh]

@@toxxicx Yeah i meant that..

[@JO_98]

the way mia says matcha 😭😂

[@the.sheeb.]

Thanks for trying the Bloglates items! I've been curious about her athletic gear and now I'll have to save up for them!

[@Alyssa684]

Honestly, I’d encourage you to look elsewhere. She may have a decent line of clothing, but she really promotes diet culture and toxic workout trends. I used to be obsessed with her and it took me a long time to correct the damage she did to my mental health. I work in the fitness industry now and cringe at the fact that I ever thought she had any merit.

[@gabysvicious]

" This is where my hoarding comes out" LMAOOO ME ASF!!! You're so funny I loooove watching your vids and this series of trying youtuber products!!!

[@alishavial1684]

The strawberry sweater and strawberry earrings Mia was wearing while ordering is just sooooo cute!

[@alizzev]

I’m SO HAPPY Cristine is first up in this video, Holo Taco is literally my go-to line of nail polish, I don’t use any other brands anymore! 😂❤ sidenote, we need to get Nikkie to send her products to Mia

[@LenoraRodrigues156]

Mia love you! I think since you’re into baking you should try Rosanna Pansino’s baking line as well 💗

[@ritacaoey]

also im an avid holo taco collector and fan so im sooo glad you like the polishes you got!! such good choices, i totally expected matcha maker for you hehe. love you mia!! 💗💗

[@applepieporridge]

14:32 Honestly even though you don’t entirely feel comfortable in the onepiece, it still looks very cute on you Mia!

[@audreyrose9374]

The onesie would’ve been amazing in gymnastics, I was always adjusting my clothes cause of my sensory issues and my coaches would get so mad at me for “being distracted”. Although high school me also couldn’t have afforded that particular onesie

[@dylanhonafius1485]

Just here to say WE APPRECIATE YOU! Thank you so much for creating content for us. Your videos are such a safe space ❤❤❤

[@alishavial1684]

Watching Mia select sizes from Popflex without checking the size guide like 😅 I don’t know why she always buys small when she is definitely as XS or maybe even an XXS in some brands! I love your content Mia but please remember to use the size guide when ordering clothes so you can get the right size for your body! I know everything fit okay but the onesie looked a little big around the waist, when you go off the size guide you just know for sure ☺️

[@purpledawn2727]

Wonder if Mia will ever make a product. I could totally see her have a baking brand or something.

[@ilovemycat173]

She have a market where she sells her stickers wich is sooo mia lol

[@allgoodthings8938]

Omg hi past Mia just going back and catching up on some videos I missed and yes the short hair looks so much better glow up ❤

[@cassandraxlove]

I’m gonna buy the halo taco, leggings, sweater, pizza sauce, chamberlain chocolate, and MrBeast chocolate/cookies now OMG✨💅😌

[@chloeliardet1321]

Loved this video! I love seeing your honest reviews of celebrity/ influener brands. My only fredback is that the black fabric made it really hard to see the popflex outfits on camera. I'd love to see different colours or closer angles in future reviews 💞

[@Nittanynn]

I literally *just* returned those popflex leggings lol. They were too thick and seams were unforgiving for all my thicker girls out there, definitely size up if you want them

[@Alyssa684]

Good, her entire brand is toxic AF. She single-handedly gave me an ED when I was young

[@karlabunns]

@@Alyssa684 huh

[@raawrsome]

I'm glad that you reviewed Blogilates' fitness wear - It's something I've been interested for ages, but the price was a tad off-putting. The workout dress is so cute though!

[@karlabunns]

Always wait for the sales!

[@Nyachan7]

Holo Taco is the the best nail polish! She is one KZbinr I trusted the moment she put out her own brand. Lasting base coats, creme's that actually cover (and are smooth), endless toppers (holo, shimmer, flakie etc), and best top coat ever. I have every box set she has released, I save up just for the launches.

[@juliuliuli5460]

Hearing you say you also get entrtained by watching blogilates shorts made me feel like im not alone 😂❤

[@amywoolner99]

Holo Taco is literally the only nail varnish brand I use now! (Yes even with the expensive shipping to London)

[@fansims2]

Girl, i would have totally ship you anything you need from the u.s!! you need a pal that lives in the u.s that can ship you goodies !!

[@gabrielleniehues99]

Mia and Cristine are my favorite Canadian youtubers! It was so nice to see you try Holo Taco ❤

[@cwreads]

I love how you asked if the oat milk was good, she said no, and you put it back instead of throwing it away

[@jtidema]

I love the heaping tablespoons when she makes the hot cocoa. And then says “that ratio is exactly correct”! That’s how I would make it.

[@khazz33]

I definitely thought the pizza sauce was going to have genetically engineered ingredients or something, so big kudos to airrack for using all natural ingredients

[@lisaakinlabi]

Canadians usually get left out of shipping and YES the customs suck big time! I get Holo Taco and it is so much more expensive for us, but at least the customs and shipping are included for a much better price than on most sites. It is also the best polish ever! Our Canadian dollar sucks.
