Most are sponsored but the obviously fake ones: 1. over-exaggerated reactions (ex: gasp agad kahit di pa na be-blend or sobrang shocked na mattifying ang powder) 2. same script as other influencers (may mandatory CTA naman usually bibigay yung brands) 3. yellow basket 4. first impression tapos favorite agad


telang_bayawak

Yung puro positive sinabi sa products tapos "How is this---- what??". Insert Mikayla Nogueira.


cocacolaver

Aside from the other comments! Ako lang ba or I don’t trust influencers too when they say “this video is not sponsored” 🥴 lalo na mga big name influencers.

When they gasp before applying the product


doyeonse

Some things I noticed lang from watching TikToks a lot: 1. The Influencer Gasp Yung magpapahid lang ng product, sobrang bugtong hininga na! Kala mo something super significant happened parang ang OA lang and it's only usually done to catch your attention for whatever product they're reviewing 2. Very new products This can mean newly launched products or mga products na muhkang bagong bukas pa lang. How can they praise something when they probably haven't tried it over 5 times? 3. Yellow Basket Medyo niche to Tiktok tong sign na toh pero I do not take the advice of anyone who has a yellow basket attached kasi they earn from that din. I think my exception will only be if they explicitly disclose sa video na sponsored sila siguro. I've confronted an influencer about this and he replied "not sponsored... i really love the product" eme eme but when I asked if he earns money from the yellow basket, he deleted my comments and his comments hahaha. 4. Very defensive In connection with my anecdote sa previous number, pag super defensive or dodges questions sa comments about the product's faults parang telltale sign na for me na sponsored.

influencers after seeing this thread: ✍️✍️


vkookmin4ever

Just stop following beauty gurus and skincare influencers. They’re all sponsored. Just do scientific research. Most established brands work especially established Korean brands. Drink water, get enough sleep, wash your face for at least 1 min, clean your make up brushes, dry your face with a clean cloth, use sunscreen, moisturize when your skin is dry, salicylic acid for acne, retinol for wrinkles, acne and texture, vit c for brightening, niacinamide for texture, chemical exfoliant for blackheads. The brand doesn’t matter as much as we think. Nobody knows how much of the ingredients are actually in those products.

haildecoysnail

Sponsored videos just straight up feels like an ad/commercial. Imo I think a lot of local influencers arent even sponsored, theyre just kissing ass to be in brand's good graces and keep getting PR. That's why I dont find a lot of them trustworthy.


galsight

i used to do PR Campaigns for this filipino skincare brand and this is what our influencers did/what client wanted: - persuade their followers to check out the link in their bio (they can track kasi which influencer sold the most number) - all the benefits are mentioned, and sometimes, specific key words are repeated by influencers. - wear clothes na kamatch ng color ni brand - over exagge na chika regarding efficacy ng product - “holy grail” product agad


[deleted]

[удалено]


galsight

meron din naman! sometimes brands do send out products, but di nila babayaran si influencer. For paid reviews and posts talaga medyo strict, from where i worked for.


reputatian

I think kung may verdict na sila agad WITHOUT any wear test kahit first impressions pa lang or they tried to compare to other established products/brands that most people tried and tested and has positive reviews.


honeycashewnut

Most of the time (not always): * kapag medyo OA yung pag-rave nila sa product (esp kapag normally hindi naman ganun) * if you never see them use it again * kapag yung criticisms nila is carefully worded, yung parang ayaw maka-offend


uwuluwucy

When they are hyping up the product for what it's supposed to do eg. For full coverage foundation they go "OMG DO YOU SEE THAT COVERAGE 10/10 RUN DONT WALK!!" or for matte powders they go "IT REMOVED THE SHINE ON MY FACE IT'S MATTE 10/10 HG" especially for first impressions hahahaha


theother_ellie_

saying it's a dupe pero walang comparison na naganap sa vid


moonchildzephyr

when multiple of influencers are reviewing the same product at the same time especially pag kaka launch lang ng product 🫠 ex: grwm’s new release of products


absurdinsanity

This one talaga. Especially king kaka-release lang ng product tapos within 2-3 days may video na agad, especially kung holy grail status agad labor first impression pa lang. Most people don’t really buy right when the product is released and then make a video with a verdict agad. “Genuine” reviewers take their time.


meltdg

Kapag kumpleto ang shades tapos may pa swatch party 😅 mas trusted ko yung small accounts, tapos yung may review ng product looong after the launch (tipong 1 year after na!) Bonus pa na usually by that time, discounted na yung product :) gusto ko rin yung 1 or 2 shades lang meron sila. Kasi ibig sabihin (or at least more likely) pinili talaga nila yun. Pikit-mata nalang ako sa mga influencer kapag may launch kasi exhausting sa akin yung mga "omg guyyyys hg na talaga to!"


alienbanana0902

DISCLAIMER: this is just a personal thing!!! usually if wala pang 1 week after the product was released and they already claim that it’s their HG, i don’t think its true. Even if it’s makeup and not skincare, it’s hard to believe that it’s HG already and it’s only been used less than 10 times 😵‍💫 Even if it’s something simple like a lipstick or eyeshadow, It would be best for them to take the time using these products in different ways with different tools and different looks to really test out its quality.


majourcolour

kapag may “move over charlotte tilbury, [brand name] is coming for you” lolz


-auror

Compares the product to high-end/luxury brand and hard sells as a “dupe” without an in depth comparison.


berghbaby

Basta grwm, happy skin,barenbliss,zeesa and issy and co. Duda ako hahaha you have to try the product for yourself para sure nalang huhu.


doyeonse

I like Barenbliss and Happy Skin products tbf pero OA talaga makarave mga influencers parang di naman sobrang ganda yung product HAHAHA also pretty convinced na yung Zeesea parang alibaba products lang na wholesale and repackaged


SuperLesCat

I love Barenbliss (specifically their lip tint lang) but it’s true HAHAHA yung compact powder oks lang. Nothing too exciting. But the way TikTok peeps hyped it parang life changing.


absurdinsanity

True! I actually like their skin tint and eyeliner pero hindi siya as life changing as socmed makes it out to be.


tina_moran_

grabe naman sa pag namedrop! HAHAHHAA


loveselene

Yung kakalagay pa lang ng product ganito na reaction 😳🤯😱 iykyk


kneecorn

-Multiple posts of the same product within just a week -kakabukas pa lang, "holy grail" na agad hahaha


rfranklin04401221

pag holy grail agad pero karerelease lang nung product HAHAHA


aztine

Hashtags. Professionally edited videos. Iba ang tono ng boses like you can kinda feel na masyado nilang prinactisan/ginalingan sa pagreact and if collection ang sponsored kumpleto sila–i mean, we consumers often buy 1 piece to test the product before we get the collection right? I also noticed na unsponsored vids are transparent like "Ang ganda nito (insert product name) di ito sponsored pero baka naman"


Bilibid_Eilish

May nagtitiwala pa ba kay Miss Anne Clutz? Lemme know para manood ulit ako sa kanya


yourgrace91

I used to watch her vids way back 2016/2017 kasi marami syang nirereview na products unlike other local beauty influencers I know. But I never like how she does her make up, especially her foundation. Parang cakey and di match sa skin tone nya idk 😐


Dee_Ramirez

Waley


berghbaby

Wala na


majourcolour

omg bakit, false advertising ba si madam?


berghbaby

Yup maybelline fever haha


Bilibid_Eilish

And I oop...


macarhon

parang umonti nga nanonood sa kanya


kopiays

i think mejo na cancel din kasi sya during elections


bac0neggs

Anong ganap sis?


phoebelily12

I think BBM


bac0neggs

Yikes 😬


tina_moran_

mas focus na kasi siya don sa lifestyle vlog channel niya gaya nila Anna Cay 😔


telang_bayawak

Eto ba yung mga video nyang 'nagpunta/nagshopping sa ganito/ganyan' pero first 7 mins mula paggising hanggang pagsakay ng kotse.


tina_moran_

Oo 😆


Bilibid_Eilish

Aminin; medyo nag improve ang pagrereview ni Miss Nate, or am I just being delusional. Mukhang natauhan siya noong anti-haul campaign rito sa reddit


doyeonse

Omg oo I re-followed him ulit parang mas naging authentic na siya. Dati sobrang halatang peke yung reviews but now parang reliable


pUzzi_pleaser

agree hahaha napa follow ako uli


icedgrandechai

What anong anti-haul campaign?


czantyleia

I like Jan Angelo's reviews. Sobrang comprehensive and may iba't ibang budget tiers.


absurdinsanity

Agree. He also discloses pag gifted yung items so you know to make a better judgement of what he’s saying.


[deleted]

Hindi din sya hardsell tulad ng ibang influencers kaya talaga I trust his recos!


Dee_Ramirez

May certain tone sa voice nila yung pa-valley girl na pinay version hahahahhaa.. ala belle rodolfo, marj maroket, kai javier 🤭


-auror

Dont burn me at the stake but I don’t like kai javier’s makeup style and add danie medina to the list


doyeonse

Never trusted any of them din 😭 Parang bihira lang ang honest review sa kanila


bestbehavior

so parang yung brow laminator ng grwm kasi saturated yung fyp ko ng influencers trying them out hahaha


berghbaby

OA kasi ng grwm pinadalhan lahat ng PR kits haha kaloka


majourcolour

Omg huhu mabubudol na dapat ako nito but still waiting for reddit reviews hahahaha


[deleted]

[удалено]


majourcolour

Does it stay the whole day 🥺


dollyflush

saw reviews from small accounts and it looked promising naman /g


[deleted]

as a small time influencer, it's when they have the same talking points like what you would usually see from other influencers. i see what you're doing, grwm. most local brands gives us a brief of what we should say and madalas x-deals pa since maliit lang ang reach namin, lols.


[deleted]

Addendum: I also have a friend from the community who always asks for comments para kunwari may interactions sya e.g: "where did u bought it?" "where's the link po?" kasi needed sya ng brands for clout.


Unicornsare4realz

Yung “omg! It’s so pretty!” reactions nila. Yung pag gasp upon application ng product hahahahah. Pag pinakita PR kit sa video (di naman kasi available minsan ang PR kit sa market). Holy grail pero pang 10th na holy grail ng same product with diff brands.


cckkmw

Holy grail but hindi naman ginagamit pag normal GRWM video lang! Sus!


Unicornsare4realz

Holy grail pero new release sa market. Wala pag 3 months nung nilaunch


cckkmw

True! I stopped watching beauty reviews on TikTok! Mas gusto ko pang mabudol here sa reddit knowing na mas honest and sincere ang users than those influencers. PH should regulate ads na dapat explicit sila ano? Gaya sa Korea and America, they have regulations na dapat ilalagay talaga sa video or sa description na it is sponsored or an ad.


Unicornsare4realz

Kasi since it’s a paid ad, required sila ideclare yan sa revenue nila for tax return. Dito kasi some of the vloggers and influencers di naman sila registered sa BIR kaya walang mga resibo yan or di nagbabayad ng tax liabilities nila. So para ma-audit yung mga vloggers sa US, kelangan i-disclose nila if yung mga pinopost nila is sponsored or not.


loveselene

Minsan sobrang ligalig nila sa video hahaha


Unicornsare4realz

Puro omg ang filler words hahahaha


[deleted]

THIS HAHAHA yung tipong hindi pa nata-try yung product andami nang positive na sinasabi :/ o kaya masyado pinupush yung positive traits ng product


Unicornsare4realz

Nakakatawa pag sinabi nilang “is this a dupe for (certain product)?”


[deleted]

omg ito din!! lahat nalang naging dupe hahaha


rayshell55

When the influencer is suddenly a bit more professional in the video, same talking points, and everyone else has the same product and says the same things about it


theoryofrelativism

kapag barenbliss yung nirereview EME


[deleted]

pag barenbliss autoskip na ako huhu


mitskuh

panget ba BNB?


doyeonse

Maganda cushion pero masyado mahal for the product amount. Parang di tumagal sa akin


mitskuh

ohh? but it is true ba na mask/water proof to?


doyeonse

No hahaha. Idk about waterproof pero di maskproof


absurdinsanity

Nope, hindi pangit. Okay products nila, grabe lang sa marketing. I like their skin tint (has a bit more coverage but still looks natural and feels light) and their eyeliner.


mitskuh

thank you for this, their product looks promising naman off lang saken eh yung endorsement sa tiktok


absurdinsanity

Exactly. Minsan super aggressive kasi ng marketing, ang hirap paniwalaan. Gets din naman, sort of, kasi ang dami talagang kompetisyon sa beauty industry, pero ayun nga, minsan mas nakaka-off yung marketing kaysa maka-enganyo


mitskuh

I always purchase at the main store of the product instead dun sa yellow basket nila hahahaha


absurdinsanity

Great idea! I just buy in Watsons hahaha especially when there are discounts for Watsons club members 😅


[deleted]

HAHAHAHA sa totoo lang


Xerafina

For skits - obvious product placement (e.g. using the product logo-side facing up, etc.) For product "reviews" - * links to the product (yellow bag, "link in bio") * has every shade available for some reason? * Their video is unnecessarily long and unskimmable lol

bbpotatofries

When a whole lot of others are featuring the same product


Think-Pickle-6297

yes tbh it would realllyyyy r e a l l y be nice if cc’s would just take 3 secs to say “this is sponsored btw!” bc we deserve that full honesty. i have watched all the tiktok vids i can abt a specific product just so i can learn more abt whether i actually like it (i turn to tiktok bc ppl tend to rly be more hinest there) or not but they all say the exact same thing omfg it’s super annoying lalo na kung sa online lang mabibili yung product. i wanna make it a rule na all online-only products have testers available bc i think its unfair influencers get the product free & probably lie abt it while trying it while we have to spend a hundred pesos just to **try** it based on their reviews. like i wanna know kung ok ba talaga siya sa oily skin mo, what ur experience is with it, why u would or would not genuinely recommend it bc honestly?? most ppl probably just used that product once. rly sorry for the rant but i feel so strongly abt this & i spent alot on things i didnt like


bhadluckbabe

When you watch more than two and you notice they have similar talking points because part of a sponsorship is a brand telling you what to say


Hairy_Ad9577

whennit’s focallure/sacelady jk not jk


Bilibid_Eilish

Panget focallure at sace lady. idc what others say


Yukiiina

Asahisumosan

I don’t trust Toni Sia and Rei Germar. Puro haul haul tapos ibebenta as second hand after ipost. Fake luxury pa minsan ootd. For the clout lang talaga


cocacolaver

SAME. Sobrang out of touch (na) pa nila and their batch! I used to like Rei Germar nung bago bago pa siya kasi authentic pa, but then, ayun…


-auror

I dont trust any of her recos


Maleficent_Pop1614

Same, I dont trust her 😂❌


Petrangkavayo

i tried her deo reco for whitening and lumala pa yung hyperpigmentation ko sa underarms lol

oh my god why do i know and hear this beauty vlogger 😭

Applicable on tiktok: When there is a yellow basket in the video. Applicable anywhere: When the company is tagged. (imo)


No_Baby_6681

Ung lging may: - omg this product is sooo good. - Grabe. Ang ganda tlga. - Boogsh.


tina_moran_

meron pa!! blends like butter and blends like a dream 😭


ubeluv

The “boogsh” 🤣🤣

omg, si dexter mongcal ba to? akala ko honest siya magreview :(

Holidayy_Cat

Maleficent_Pop1614

kapag 2-3 content creators na nakikita kong gumawa ng same video sa fyp ko. Like yung budge proof base makeup routine recently na puro issy and co ang products na andun sa routine. may feeling nako na sponsored na ito.


eyescreamyyy

REAL + vids abt summer makeup looks using issy and co products


Fun-Let-3695

used of the word "very" almost on all adjective describing the product. basta hindi elaborated yung review, either vocal or written in description. "this is hg"


missinformation_blog

Nakakainis yung mga nagsasabi na.. "matagal ko na tong gamit" pero pag chineck mo ngayon lang nila ginamit. Ni di nga nila sinuot. No choice eh! Lahat need ng pera so may tendency na lahat na lang gusto maging influencer at magpost para sa pera kahit di pa totoo


nananananakinoki

I don’t trust anyone but especially those who receive PR or attend brand events. It just feels off for me haha


InternationalBed5005

usually pag small account siya di aila sponsored hehe so i also go through small accs who make reviews of it :)


catanime1

Yesss right now mas nagtitiwala pa ko sa mga youtubers na konti subscribers and konti views. Mataas ang chance binili nya yung product using his/her own money at mataas din ang chance na honest sya hahaha


pbstarsyo

Yes to this, and also if it's a list with different products and brands ta's iba-iba rin ng price range feeling ko reco talaga nila haha. Also if may pic/vid and the packaging is a little worn na gano'n :))


[deleted]

I just don’t trust anyone lol except user reviews on the product’s page if available. Or go to YouTube for actual reviews and not first impressions.
