Hey everyone, I want to mention that the majority of the comments on this video have been positive and lovely and it warms my heart to know that you watching have a deep understanding of who I am as a person. But I have seen a few comments saying that through this video I am promoting Temu and their unethical business practices, which is a very strong claim and I would like to take a moment and try to explain my perspective and hopefully make myself clear. Firstly, in case I didn’t make it completely clear this video IS NOT sponsored by Temu, it isn’t sponsored by anyone. I did speak to what my motive for doing this review of Temu makeup was in the beginning of the video, but I worry some people skipped my explanation or maybe I didn’t explain it well enough. So I will try again now, because I would feel horrible for anyone to have the wrong idea of why I did this video. Temu is a very popular app, very popular meaning many MANY people shop and spend their hard earned money on the app. People are spending their money on Temu, on products (In My Opinion) that are not that amazing. A lot of times these products being bought are beauty/cosmetic products. I have watched a few Temu makeup reviews on youtube, and I have found a lot of them are sponsored by Temu directly. To be completely transparent with you all, Temu has offered to sponsor my videos MANY times and I have always declined no matter what the $ offer is. I only take sponsorships from brands I genuinely love & believe in. Seeing so many Temu makeup reviews being sponsored led me to wonder if the products really were as good as they seemed in the videos. Which was my motive for making this video, creating an unsponsored Temu makeup review to really show how the products performed for me,, just truly focusing on the products. What I found was that the products DIDN’T perform that well, I would say there was around a 20% success rate on all the pieces, which in my opinion is pretty low. So I thought this video really showed that even if you do not care about the ethics of Temu or the sustainability of Temu, if you just look at the products on their own, even for the low price.. They aren’t that great. I even went on to mention I would link down below cruelty free affordable products I believe in more than the pieces from Temu. I am not the most sustainable person, and I know that about myself but I am making an effort in my everyday life to be cognizant of what and how I do something and how it can affect the world around me. I care about ethical product production.. That is why I always take time in videos to disclose my thoughts on the brands at hand, and try to bring to light the unethical business practices. I do apologize for not touching on that directly in this video, I did make mention in this video that I have spoken about Temu many times in other videos and I have shared my opinion on how unethical/unsustainable I believe it to be but I honestly thought bringing it up in every video may frustrate some of you or even ostracize the people who have chosen that Temu is a brand they enjoy and love to shop on. Because as I said not everyone is worried about ethics and sustainability in their everyday life. At the end of the day everyone has a different check list for products, some only want affordable good products, some people want clean vegan beauty. Everyone is different, and as I have said in many videos major corporations need to be held accountable for creating these pieces, because so much pressure is put on the consumer but I believe if business owners were more forthcoming and transparent we wouldn’t be having these issues. I don’t personally shop on Temu outside of making reviews of products when they are brought to my attention. I felt like an unsponsored Temu makeup review would be useful to bring light to the product's performance. If you are curious about my thoughts on Temu please go watch my other two (not sponsored by Temu) Temu videos where I really get into my thoughts on the brand. I hope that this explanation can help you understand where I was coming from. I will always be genuine and honest about how I feel, and I do apologize if I didn’t explain my motive properly in this video. And if my motive is not justified to you, I am sorry I honestly thought this video would be helpful. Thank you for reading, Love you all so much ❤

[@rhondavanmeter5015]

Mia, you communicated very clearly your motives and your objectives for the video. Thank you for making videos like this to help people. You are kind to take the time to reiterate your motives and objectives in the comment section and to do so thoughtfully. I have a request I meant to put this in my comments after watching the video. When the quality is questionable, like Temu's makeup, can you do something like an end of day check in on products you liked? I'm wondering, for example, if you still liked the lashes as much after wearing them all day. The eyeshadow is a good example that first impressions can change with continued use /wear time.

[@plumgeorge]

An unsponsored review on Temu makeup is important for people who are undecided on shopping on Temu. any sponsored video is ridiculously positive!!

[@lethfuil]

Hitchhiking your (great!) comment to say: For the kind of makeup AND the shade range you have to keep in mind that this is all asian makeup. :) They have a completely different preference compared to North America and even still different from Europe, wanting it more pale, natural and hinty. The shades come from them mostly being, well, asian and from them being quite racist and definitely much less trying to be diverse. :P

Plus the workers are underpaid and work under really really bad conditions

Reputable brands of course don't just go 'hmm let's throw in this cheap kiddie glitter', so you can trust those.

[@Marie-jz1qw]

Of course, and I'm not shaming anybody for shopping for cheaper options, obviously not everyone can afford other brands. I'm not from the US but I'm sure in Europe we're not much better. I'm just saying that if you can afford to buy less or buy other options, go for the other options. I also know that many people want to just buy a lot and own a lot of things and that's the result of our consumerist and capitalist system, no one single person's fault, but if we try to change our capitalist ways, it's still something. :-) @@krystalstiles4087

[@nomoretwitterhandles]

Hey Mia, to avoid stapling a backdrop to your ceiling every time you want to do makeup reviews, you can always get a clothing rack and toss the backdrop over it! This way you don't have to mess around with hanging stuff up all the time, and it's easy to move. If you need it to be taller, you can set the rack on top of a couple of cardboard boxes or something. As a lazy person we learn to make-do, so I hope you are able to find this comment and get some use out of it lol. Cheers!

[@LunarEleven]

They have pull-down screens, like the ones used for projectors. That would be the best option.

[@pick2206]

[@GriffonWizard2099]

Mia is so brave for doing this😭🙏🏼 Personally, I would not purchase any item from websites like Temu/Wish etc that have to stay on my skin for longer than a couple of minutes. I have seen far too many cases of friends (and even youtubers, remember when people were comparing real vs knockoff makeup items???) who have developed acute eczema and skin issues because a lot of off brand products have heavy metals like cobalt and lead in them. Please be VERY careful when purchasing stuff like this.

[@alishakay]

I like the background of your room better. In a way that feels more comfortable and familiar, the white background feels so clinical lol. It might be just me but I love the warm feeling of your channel and the white sheet kinda takes away from that.

[@mcsolo23]

I feel like it's worth mentioning that most Temu makeup cannot be regulated due to the high amount of drop shipping sellers and likely has some quite unusual or unsafe ingredients in it, not to mention *edit* foreign makeup sold in China is required to test on animals, not to mention it's not illegal to test on animals for cosmetics in China, so most of these makeup products will be not be cruelty free. Just be aware of what you put on your skin and particularly around your eyes and mouth.

[@sarahlouisehulme3907]

Came here to say about the animal testing - I always thought that any Chinese make up products are tested on animals 💔

[@parisinthe30sx]

No they aren't required. Makeup made in China isn't tested on animals-only foreign companies wanting to sell in China are required to test on them, Which is stupid and awful.

[@mcsolo23]

Thanks for the catch on this one, I'd feel comfortable in saying a lot of makeup made in China will still have been tested on animals though as it isn't illegal to do so, (as with many places in the world, though we're also dealing with a quantity and quality issue here!)@@parisinthe30sx

[@summerbun9765]

This is actually incorrect most Chinese makeup brands (like the legit known brands) are cruelty free I suggest reading up on it. It’s actually really interesting to learn how Sinophobia and western brands that test on animals twisted the narrative about c beauty to make China solely take the blame

Sadly in modern day just about everything we have and buy is using and abusing people so to tear someone down for something we are all guilty of is hypocritical, Mia always tries to buy from reputable places and in almost all her videos she lets you know if a place has bad practices (including past videos on temu). If you feel the need to judge so bad, get rid of your technology, grow your own food, make your own clothes, and build your own shelter, otherwise you are always going to be buying from companies who participate in slave labor and steal info cause fyi, they all do.

[@lensat6782]

I love your videos Mia! Its amazing that you're promoting more ethical and sustainable practices through your content. Unsponsored reviews in this day and age are super important as well, but I really wish creators in general would stop making content like this because at the end of the day you're still giving money to the company/brand and good reviews can potentially lead to viewers also spending their money on cheap, unethically made items, keeping them in business. If people stopped giving coverage and reviews of companies we already know are just cheaply, unethically mass producing items hopefully less people will buy from them 😞 I would really love to see small brands getting reviewed on bigger channels, vote with your wallets I guess. I digress, thanks for all your effort and positivity Mia!

[@jchoertz]

So agree with this! Even purchasing the items to review and making a negative review helps to perpetuate unethical manufacturing practices.

[@lensat6782]

​@@jchoertz As they say "all press is good press" and people are very consumed in sensationalize negative reviews but then will go and others negatively review the same thing and its just a cycle. A common concern I've heard from the general public is that its out of budget to buy from small more high quality brands, I understand that myself as a student with limited spending money who occasionally has to take the L on the less desirable option. But when I was a kid finding a 100% cotton tshirt that was thick and lasted me years was like 5$ at walmart because it was the most common material and things were made better, then companies shifted to using cheaper materials and construction but the consumers were the problem, we bought those items and accepted them as the new standard. This example applies to everything. Buy the better thing because if enough people do they can afford to make it more accessible.

That’s what I love about your videos you’re so honest about sponsors and I trust you only take on ones you actually like. There’s so many influencers who just take on any sponsors and it shows where as you actually care about what your endorsing

I absolutely love the butterfly tattoos on the edge of your eyes. I love butterflies and I think they really add that extra touch to your face and a wonderful uniqueness.

As temu and wish products often are hazardous for the health and contains things such as heavy metals, I do worry for Mia’s health putting it on.

[@thespankmyfrank]

She might break out, but generally, those harazdous ingredients are mainly dangerous for the workers in the factory. Putting it on a few times isn't gonna be that bad for you. Breathing it in every day while working in those conditions? Yeah, that's not as great.

[@GrodanBoll]

@@thespankmyfrank do a quick google and you will see how dangerous they are. It's not just a few zits here and there..

[@kelseywillow8110]

⁠@@thespankmyfrankno that’s not true. It is actually a very dangerous risk you are taking. Especially if you put it on your skin.

[@Esther19870]

These products are made in unsanitary conditions, I watched a documentary where some of the cheap perfumes and face products had urine in them. 🤢

[@faeriesandrainbows]

I appreciate seeing an honest review of these products. Temu reminds me of a low-quality dollar store.

[@jacklynb8489]

I absolutely love the butterfly wings on the side 🦋 💜 it looks like the perfect festival and rave look!!!

[@Unfortunatesoul00]

Hi mia if this product made in china, package say it is, then its impossible to be cruelty free, because the government of china dont allow to produce products without using animal testing

[@y_vette]

Watching Mia try products or clothing always brightens my day. Thank you for all your hard work Mia!!! ❤️

[@bethanyroche8927]

Just for reference, since Temu is Chinese the makeup products are from cheap Chinese brands, so dewy makeup is ofc the most common finish for foundation etc. That's also why the bb cream shades and concealer are so limited (it's a heterogeneous society so the brands are marketing towards Chinese ppl so ofc there's way less demand for darker shades) and the cream you used first is likely a skin whitener lmao that's why it was thick and made you look so washed out

[@alicjamarie4180]

The backdrop of your cute little decorations is preferable, also as someone with light sensitive eyes, my goodness the white backdrop is very harsh for me, I'm watching in theater mode with the black youtube from dark reader instead of fullscreen like normal to deal with the brightness. Love you as always Mia!

Mia brightening up everyone's day...by sacrificing her face to Temu! Excited to watch this today ♡ I like the freshness of the backdrop, but do miss the adorable ceramic 🦆♡

[@tikitheafricanringneck7938]

just letting you know that Temu is a very unethical market for Many reasons and just not to support it or buy from there. they are ruining our one and only planet, they steal designs and other peoples work, the products are cheaply made to scam you and are sometimes toxic to your health, and their workers are not fairly payed.. (I do not say this in a mean way! just in case you didn't know I want everyone to be educated on this company

[@SuDaixi]

I thought it was illegal for Chinese makeup brands to be cruelty free? I remember a few years back reading about the fact that every product you apply on your skin must be tested on animals first if it is sold in China, otherwise it is illegal and does not meet Chinese health standards. Have the Chinese laws changed or did I misunderstand? Help. I am confusion.😵‍💫

[@virturii2571]

It's still a law in china for brands to have to test on animals to get their products on the shelves. Although I'm not sure exactly how but brands like Dove have pushed and succeded on getting their stuff put out without the need of testing. I wish china would strive to stop animal cruelty.

[@chaotictuc]

Obviously none of that stuff is cruelty free. That brow pencil was just copying Anastasia Beverly Hills packaging

[@thespankmyfrank]

Can't really trust what the packaging says if it's on Temu/Wish/etc. They could write whatever they want tbh. There's really no regulations.

[@garifaliagalano9251]

Any company can produce a product in china and choose to be cruelty free as long as they do not sell the product itself in china. You can always make sure which company is actually cruelty free through the official site of PETA. Hope that helps!

[@SuDaixi]

@@garifaliagalano9251 Thanks. That makes more sense now. So the company may not be necessarily cruelty free if the SELL in China, only the products they make for international markets outside of China will be. So if the SELL in China then the company is just greenwashing and if they DO NOT SELL in China and only produce there then they are actually probably cruelty free. Ok. Makes sense. I will just have to google to check if the company sells in China and that should tell me if they are cruelty free. Personally I just though any company that had cruelty free and made in china on the same product was just lying. So by that standard then the mentioned above Dove is definitely greenwashing. Really how different are the Chinese Dove bar soap and American Dove bar soap are between each other and does it matter if they still test the Chinese version on animals? *sigh*

right? It is entertaining to watch but also, what happened to the sustainability and ethics Mia talks about? Obviously people can shop wherever they want, but it seems hypocritical of Mia.
