[@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.).

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!)

Hey Mia, if you're in no hurry with a shipment, you can reject shipments and ask CBSA to recalculate your customs charges, if you think it's way too high. They may or may not do it, but I've done it a couple of times and the charges have come down 😊

[@katyb2793]

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? As an Australian this has always confused me, and I've always wondered how those who don't have tonnes of money can afford a sudden huge fee like that without warning 😬

[@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”🤷🏻‍♀️

[@katyb2793]

@@maplecake oh wow... that's crazy.. do people buy from overseas often, or does this put them off? The way Australia deals with it is we now pay a 10% goods and services tax (which we pay on everything in Australia too) on anything bought from overseas. I think the company we buy from is required to add the 10% charge and pay it to the government. We don't have to do anything. I just found something to be grateful for today 🤔

[@maplecake]

@@katyb2793 We don’t pay customs on everything though. What items get fees depends on what they are, which country they come from, where they’re made and the value of the item, and that’s all calculated by Canadian Border Services. We don’t pay GST on overseas items 🤷🏻‍♀️

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.

[@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!! 🥺❤️

[@melrhea12]

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

[@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..

[@in.a.getawaycar]

Mia your humour is everything and I love your videos and the new haircut!!!! 💖💖

[@MiaMaples]

THANK YOUUUUU

@@MiaMaplesThank you for replying!!!!!

[@alishavial1684]

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

[@splendidhorror1517]

As someone who worked in a coffee shop watching her put so much in had me dying. Also anyone who wants to make matcha I would suggest blending, frothing, or a matcha whisk so there’s no matcha clumps.

[@LenoraRodrigues156]

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

[@INKSTARS1138]

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.

[@dylanhonafius1485]

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

[@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

[@lilyem97]

OBSESSED with you and your mom's relationship

[@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

[@jinghengc.8984]

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!!

[@gabrielleniehues99]

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

[@applepieporridge]

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

[@sondosj2160]

Mia you've been killing it on the trending page the last few videos 🔥🔥🔥

[@marcieb2304]

I’m so glad you tried out blogilates. I see her stuff on my feed all the time too and I have been so curious! I’m a stay at home mom so I literally only wear leggings. I might have to give them a try.

[@raybrooke14]

Love you Mia!❤ You’re such a fun person and I love to watch your videos!

[@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.

[@gabrielle718]

I really like these types of videos. I am always so heavily persuaded with awesome marketing. So it is always nice seeing a genuine review. Love you 🤍

[@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 ❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@chahatbhodwal3699]

oh my god, hi Mia, im just a 16 year old girl who loves to watch your videos, like you are such a mood and the happy vibes i get from you are soooo great

[@anemonefonsbl6080]

OMG😱 you now Hope scope🤯 i love Hope❤ you and Hope are Seriously my ABSOLUT favorite KZbinrs🥰

[@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!

[@HowToHustleHappier]

Mia I was just rewatching your honeymoon video!!! So entertaining thanks for taking us along:)

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 !!

[@bookmagnet24]

i have the "tea bundle" that has that matcha and its so pretty, also i need that strawberry earrings and sweater, i'm OBSESSED

[@av19523]

Was very excited to see Holo Taco up first. I love Cristine and her brand!

[@lindatannock]

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

[@TheMossyrocker16]

Between myself and one of my friends, we own every Holo Taco polish. Every base, every colour, every topper and most of the accessories. I hate using any other polish now, because Holo is just that good. Cristine knows nail polish and it shows.

[@mo1844]

The "my sweater tastes like pizza" part should be used as an ad for that company😆 "MAKES EVERYTHING TASTE LIKE PIZZA"

[@cassiesayshi8174]

I absolutely love Mia’s kitchen

[@DianaMichelle]

Hi Mia! This kind of content is why I’m on the internet! Love it! By the way, the Feastables chocolate bar IS bigger, think like a regular size chocolate bar; I’ve had multiple and enjoy them every single time 🤤

[@amywoolner99]

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

“Matcha maker?” I love Canadian accents lol

No guys, the green nail polish shade is named "matcha maker". Mia is pronouncing it correctly.
