That TikTok dress looked cheap. I wouldn’t have worn that one out. The Amazon dress was definitely the win on that one.

[@Nadah-ln8mb]

But the pink dress is better for one time occasions

Sorry. Don’t agree with the even score for the glitter dress. The pink TikTok dress is and looks poor quality. It may be useful as a Halloween costume.

[@ellingpaulsenskarn7105]

Yes agree

I think the reason she used different wands was because there wasn't matching wands so she was using the closest version/result.

The quality of both of the first dresses is so different; honestly they both are pretty but the fabric and stitching of the blue is so much better than the pink. I would rather pay for the Amazon dress if I knew there would be such a big quality difference between the two dresses

Same. Sometimes saving a bit of money is not worth the difference in quality and if I am looking at a nice dress, I am going to go with quality over price if there is that little difference.

I think I would look for a totally different dress at that point because I just don't think the pink looks very nice. It looks cheap.

As someone who worked at Amazon, I can tell you these are just bulk-produced items that got sent to any big company willing to handle them. The ones missing stuff or without proper packaging were most likely customer returned items that were sent back to the originally seller to do with whatever they deemed. A lot of sellers will simply resell them "as is" whereas Amazon itself goes through a damage/return process. A lot of the time sellers will dump their products at warehouses and refuse to handle any returns or damages or even refuse to take them back (I've seen products sit for 9+ months), but usually Amazon will gather returned or damaged items and ship them back to the seller if there are issues. It's a headache with drop-shipped and mass produced items tbh. An incredible waste of everyone's time, money, and energy imo.

[@brendahowrey4819]

Blue dress looks $80 more expensive ! Fits so well.

[@hollybrooke322]

The Amazon curler should get the point. It just looks better and it didn’t even bother with the wand that doesn’t do anything. I also think the Amazon mirror looked better.

[@YoungDymisty]

I think the bubble curler has a learning curve. I feel like you maybe put the hair in between the bubbles, and over the bubbles for a different effect.

[@la_tasnima7411]

no she didn't use the same item even like if she used the same one of amazon she gonna get the same result and add to that that amazon didn't came with the bubble one

[@AliciaLynn2]

It’s the exact same product from the same company the only reason there were different attachments is because Wavytalk has different bundles and if she would have looked further on Amazon she would have found the bundle with the same attachments from the TikTok shop. Also this device is known for the heated brush because it’s a dupe for the Amika blowout babe thermal brush so honestly this was comparing apples to oranges. I love Hope so no disrespect.

Am I the only one who was skeptical on the charger results? Batteries wear down differently, so using two different phones isn't exactly fair. 😭 I would've preferred seeing the same phone for both and timed, though I know it'd take longer to test those products.

[@dawnchesbro4189]

Exactly! She either should have used two phones of the same make and model. Or drained one phone, timed how long to charge to wake on TikTok charger, then repeated the experiment with the same parameters for the Amazon charger. That would have been a better test. But certainly not a scientifically rigorous test

@@cerscil This right here

[@IonIsFalling7217]

Okay, nitpicky, but the scientist in me is upset: The phone charger test wasn’t really fair. What are the relative strengths of the batteries in the different phones? Had one been dead longer than the other?

[@TraumaMomma]

and will one kill your battery faster? I have read so much conflicting information on those types of chargers that so far I have stuck with just the chargers that come with my phones or ones that I have replaced from Apple directly. And I hate spending that kind of money if I knew I could trust a different, less expensive charger no matter the type. But dang... phones are expensive.

[@fairiesupplies]

[@lenlaegrim]

Something to consider, since Amazon is guilty of this, too, is that when businesses like these try to get a hold on the market, they will lower their prices for the same products to try and get people into their service over the ones they already know and drive other online retailers out of business, so I definitely wouldn't put it past TT. Amazon famously has done this for medication and books, and once they got what is essentially the monopoly on the online store/shipping market, the prices went waay back up, and now they can charge whatever they want since it's one of the only places you can get stuff online.

[@fancypapercutz]

I’m sorry but the fact that hope was so surprised with the “shipping cost more than the item” is so funny to me as a Canadian cuz that’s literally everything all the time for us. $5 dollar product? $15-20 shipping and then customs on top of that!

[@pippa3150]

Haha. I lived on the island of Carriacou (above Grenada) for a while. Tried to order $30 worth of cat treats. $1695 for dripping, not including customs. Lmao And yes, I meant $1695. Needless to say, I gave them tuna fish for treats instead.

I don't think the curling iron is the fairest test when you use two different barrel types, especially since you are far more experienced with the straight barrel than the bubble style barrel that you've struggled with before.

[@nicolepeele1083]

Bro TikTok just steals the ideas that amazon has and changes the price to make you want to buy it more than amazon.

[@Miss_Suspicious]

It's all the same things though. They're ALL dropshipped from China, and the sellers on Amazon just charge more because they can, and will still make sales. In the end most of them are the same exact products. Not including the original products that have been duped of course.... but Amazon is like...99% dupes at this point.

[@katearnold9829]

The biggest advantage of Amazon for me is how easy it is to return items. I'm way more willing to give something a try from Amazon because I know I can return it with no cost and no hassle.

[@jellycatfish]

I think that the Tiktok shop is doing the same thing that Temu does which is they put their price lower to make people buy from them. I've read that Temu loses 80% of their profit with their sales, and long term, that won't be sustenable for them. So because everything is cheap on TikTok or Temu for the same products compared to Amazon doesn't mean that these prices are going to be that low forever.

[@melissaevans4396]

You’re right, Temu has already begun raising prices on the same items we were getting in the beginning for half.

[@alwaysannoyedforever518]

That’s the business model for a lot of new business. They price low or do something to take a loss that way they break into the market but once they establish themselves they slowly raise prices or stop the deals so they can at least break even.

[@tammysena6232]

And it takes weeks to get your items!!

[@em-nn8tt]

It’s because they expect people to buy more for less. So instead of buying one thing for $50 you end up spending $50 on about 20-30 different things because they’re so cheap.

[@leticiaguelere1222]

thats exacly it! Here in Brasil there was a sudden surge of this app called Shopee that looked just like AliExpress and everything was really cheap with no shipping and there was crazy sales all the time (I bought a bag of little rocks to put on my succulents for R$1,00 with no shipping), but now they only offer no shipping above a certein price and lower the price on promo days. Gone are the crazy big disconts but the costumers still use the platform and it became something everybody has downloaded on our phones and use all the time. Its strategy.

Just one word of caution about TikTok shop (I still buy from it, but do so with this knowledge); with my first order the post office tracking said my package was delivered but it wasn't. I got another package that day (different business) so I knew the mail had been delivered. I called the post office and they dug into the tracking number and surprise surprise, they have been finding that the drop shipping companies are using the same tracking number and shipping labels to pay for shipping of multiple packages and just changing the addresses on the labels. The post office found that the package with my tracking number sent by the TikTok shop was not even addressed to me or my address. The post master told me this is sadly not the first time they have found this to have happened.

Am i tweaking or is she lowkey bias toward tiktok😭

[@SBizarre]

I don't think it is even low-key, I usually like her content but when she does the tik tok comparisons, there is clearly a bias.

[@aileenandrade6848]

She got the new user discount for all her purchases. It’s an unfair comparison.

[@mohammedmandlaywala7699]

true. so many were unfair

[@roseb2106]

Same thoughts. Also if it's just the price you're going to based on, then what's the point of the comparison lol

[@katgerrard2708]

I can't understand how people find cheap stuff on TikTok. Is it only in US? Here in UK everything is more expensive on TikTok than in the original brand shops. If it's not - it's rip-offs. And we go for quality, not cheapness...

[@archiesto4444]

well don't forget the 'fast shipping' from amazon does come with a monthly fee - so that does count - the shipping isn't 'free' but depending on how much you purchase it isn't a lot. 🙂

[@queenfoxletsplay8560]

These vids are so helpful for me because I want to compare tik tom to Amazon but not actually buy the product thank you for doing this review on products

[@terrib627]

Nope, Hope. Bad bad bad to give points to TikTok.

[@abee3812]

Why didn’t u use the same wand to test both profuctd

[@meganwick8549]

Love the video, i do think you should've given the dress one to Amazon and not TikTok, even with the significant price difference, the Amazon one looks better. The TikTok one looks cheap imo.

[@itz_rae5473]

yea same

[@Themostcleverrotties]

Hope has a clear favorite and that is tiktok shop

[@BridgetSzuminsky]

Interested in why you weren’t including the discounts from the Halara site or Amazon. That’s part of the total pricing and makes it not as much of a stark difference.

[@alijoy1721]

I have been binging hope videos and i have to tell uou its helped me a lot. I have multiple sclerosis and have been really aick and tired lately and the joyfulness reminds me of my old self . So thank you

[@neptunesdeluxe9777]

(personal opinion) 1. Amazon 2. Tiktok shop 3. Tiktok shop 4. Tikokt shop 5. Amazon 6. Tiktok shop 7. Amazon 8. Tiktok shop 9. Tiktok shop 10. Amazon 11. Tiktok shop 12. Amazon

[@neishab412]

I don’t think you should be using Amazon prime for these videos, as it’s not actually free and lots of people can’t afford a monthly subscription just for free shipping. Plus prime is also faster shipping, you wait a lot longer when you don’t have prime.

I HAVE THE ORIGINAL FIRST DRESS. It’s by jadore and it’s meant to be bright and two toned with a detailed core. Mines green/blue. The actual dress has a higher split and multiple layers in the skirt (3/4) there is also no corseted back.

I love the detail of different nail colours matching sides. Kudos girl !

you are so pretty in all of youre vids please do a video were you send things to australia or just try ausssie brands !!!

[@christypriest30]

Nothing I see from these knockoffs looks like quality at all! I can see the difference in every product I’m actually talking about clothing

[@lianaritabi8729]

Nothing against hope scope, but i just Don’t appreciate her drift to this kind of content. To me this is like fast fashion but for content. She saw that a lot of people are into this kind of content and to make a living out of this yes you have to earn money but I remember the video where she explained her issues with fast-fashion brands with SHEIN and why she won’t order from them anymore… for me tiktok shop, amazon and SHEIN are all the same thing

[@rac3526]

Agree. Bring back the old hopescope

[@Bllairy]

Yes, I couldn't agree more

[@amelia_rose_333]

Came here to say the SAME thing! She is shopping AND promoting fast fashion and terrible companies to millions of followers (many of which are probably too young to ever consider the impact it has on our planet.) I wish she would at least mention this in her videos about the practices of the company and what you’re doing when buying from these places.

[@Ari_isnt_here]

No SHEIN is child labor kids work there and on Amazon it’s not TikTok shop I’m not sure

[@amelia_rose_333]

@@Ari_isnt_here it really depends on the Amazon product and where it’s coming from. All of these companies seem to have this drop shipping where it’s all made super cheap and fast and then shipped off to multiple places and sold under different names. Mia Maples has done a couple videos about it and most of the stuff she orders from tik tok shop has no label whatsoever. Amazon is the better of them because you have to be somewhat legit to sell there… but TikTok shops can just pop up and scam you and then just disappear.

[@heather2185]

You should try returning stuff and see who wins that competition

[@Michissleepy]

I just think we need to be carful with the cheaper products … ask ourselves how it can be that much cheaper. Sometimes there are different materials used which can be harmful

[@someonekenobi]

I think you should also take into account how accurate the product is to the pictures. Like in the add on tiktok the mirror was completely round and you got a rectangle

[@sharonmarangwanda7463]

The Amazon dress quality but in the pink would be chefs kiss😭

[@Wholegrainz]

you know its gonna be a good video when hopescope has tiktok shop and amazon in it 😍😍

[@sheilaaxnicolee]

Nah fr the amount of items I've saved from her channel 😭

[@hi-yiwongmanous3081]

I honestly feel like your reaction was mostly bias simply because tik.tok has cheaper prices yes Amazon would cost a little more but the quality is much better so to choose low quality because it was cheaper is crazy to me I would never shop at tiktok from.. seeing a difference like the hot iron was terrible. You could of done much better it wasn't a unbais review

[@serenity_rose_17]

She admitted when one had smth better though

I agree I much prefer amazon to tick tok because for one it's safer and you have no hassle returns if there's issues there are so many scam products on tik tok you never know what your going to get

[@EJ_Editz11]

True but hope stated and acknowledged that point many times throughout the video, even mentioning the poll she made to make it fair, once again, for *that* specific reason.

[@mayceecoquet6164]

Just so you know I use that bubble looking curling iron almost everyday. It does work it just needs a little getting used to. How I use it is to take a piece of hair, what you had is perfect then wrap the hair between the bubbles. Next I flip the whole wand upside down. Once the hair is ready to come off then I pull the piece of hair downward lightly. Hope this helps hope. Btw I love your vids so much! Also you should review the brand Altar’d State. Anyways love you have a great week.

[@3.toads.in.a.trenchcoat]

We don't get to shop Tiktok in Canada, so I wonder, if the prices are cheaper.... How are their return policies? Because that's one thing that might justify the inconvenience of the higher price on amazon. I always only buy prime products on amazon and the few issues I ever had were dealt with quickly, I got to return the stuff and get refunds easily and the new convenience store no box needed return drop off are very nice

[@dawnchesbro4189]

Hope, i love your infectious happy energy. I would love to see less content from you that supports fast fashion and throw-away consumerism. Maybe a video showing why spending more money on a quality garment means you keep the garment for longer than a month? Use your influence to better the planet, not to clog landfills with clothes/items that will break within a month?

Idk about the shipping because you definitely have Amazon prime because you order alot from Amazon but someone who doesn't will have to wait longer for ther package to arrive.

Hope has to be one of the channels that I watch that I would never show anybody that I watch them unless they do too. She's apparently "too cheerful" so watching her makes you "cringe" but she's literally just a good human being. (Yes, I'm pressed)

I love seeing the dresses they where beautiful! I’m having my prom next week and I want my dress to look something similar to the pink dress u wore. I really liked it but my mom can afford those so I have to get a different kind.

Y'all literally just like to complain. Hope I think you did an amazing job and the fact you made another video and apologize for the mistakes you made is the reason I enjoy your videos so much. And u should know that not everything on tiktok shop has shipping fees it simply what shops you buy from and if there a deal going on I got candle from a handmade shop and she was charging 7 dollars for shipping but I got some candles for my grandmother and if I spent over $25 shipping would be free and it was the same shop I got mine from. I think it's totally fair how you judged and made the point system. I love saving money then getting some getting it early. I love your content and I love the way you pay attention to details
