Because they want to feel like they can afford new things and second hand makes them feel poorer. Whereas some people who are better off put value on being socially conscious with purchases and like to shop second hand either because it matters to them or becauses its trendy.

I've bought inkstones and calligraphy brushes, which are of good quality. Also, gold ink, and cinnabar powder. Some of the papers are a bit dodgy. The rice paper was fine. I found the mulberry paper was nice, also got a gold flecked paper. You have to be careful with some things, some are cheaper amongst the products listed and the quality is lower, accordingly. Also bought some embroidery kits to learn with, the thread is not great but it's fine to learn with. (I do cross stitch so I know how to determine a good quality thread!) Also have some storage shelves from them, which have been insanely useful. And because it's hard plastic it is easy to move around.

I wish someone who knew their chemistry would test a lot of these crazy cheap art products. I would be very interested to know what cheap harmful substances they are using to keep costs down.

Temu is paying most of the KZreadrs for reviewing their items. I am so happy you made this REAL review one. The positive reviews are paid reviews. Lol. I bought "sterling" silver rings that were marked the 925 stamp but it turned my finger green. 😂 That saying you get what you pay for is def the case with Temu. I feel like a hypocrite now..I guess I am going to order those marker. 😂😂 I am so happy you are safe. That must have been super scary. ❤

Silver jewelry regularly turns green on my skin, there's something in my sweat that reacts to it. I worked a summer job at a jewelry store, and the owner said he's never seen anything like it. (It was August so I was sweating more than usual...) So no, it's not necessarily a sign the rings aren't genuine 925 silver.

I've gotten art supplies and crafting supplies from temu, and i do find those items are pretty good. Yarn, neddle felting, watercolors, and stickers are all pretty good to get there if you don't have money and want to start. Just look at the reviews. Personally i really like the matalic watercolors they have on the temu.

As a person who does not Buy clothes off Temu but buys cute artsupplies and stationary and other kooky stuff i see this as a absaloute win

Im so sorry to hear about your lightning encounter but Im happy you are safe. May God bless you with abundance and prosperity 🙏🏾💙

rae literally made a masterpiece with the cheapest art supplies of all time and then finished the video after lightning struck her house what a legend

Rae is one of people who motivated me not to give up art as it will indeed take time till I find major improvements

First, Im glad that you are OK. Things can be replaced. You are unique and priceless. That is how Temu gets you. Sell cheap and people end up spending more. I have to admit I fell down the Temu trap. I've actually got a few really nice things. A lot in cosmetics and beauty supplies. I like to see what else is on Temu.

I love the intro! Thanks for having the two perspective.

You’re meant to peel the paper off the outside of the brush drying rack. The paper is there to protect the plastic during shipping and packaging (I have a few of these from my local Kmart for my makeup brushes). 😊❤

They have had Baohong Academy watercolor paper on Temu for cheaper by far than Amazon so that is something I have ordered several times. It was on a great lightening deal

11:33 Rae does her ✨Magic✨

I love, love, love your skulls!! 💜

Thank God that no one was hurt and that you are safe in your home…since it didn’t catch fire! Terrifying! But I totally agree that by far your life and health are the most important! Stupid question but the electronics that were plugged in and absolutely fried when the lightening struck covered by insurance, warranty/guarantee by the surge protection companies? Truly hoping that whatever was (fried) lost will be replaced at no cost to you. Not sure how that works. I’m fairly new to this channel and absolutely love everything I’ve seen. Curious if you ever do tutorials or anything like that? The two pieces you created and show at 12:33 are simply perfection! As a 45 year old woman who still can’t draw a straight line with a ruler and continuously screws up abstract paintings (yes both are 100% true sadly) yet has a passion to create in any and all mediums I need help! If you already have tutorials posted I’d greatly appreciate being pointed in that direction. If it’s not your thing I’d greatly appreciate it if you or someone on here could let me know some good channels where I can start learning please. ❤ from Shannon in Canada 🇨🇦

You gotta peel the paper off the acrylic stand, I doubt it will make the product work better but definitely will look better 😊

Thank god you’re safe , 😮 . Great video as always ❤

Thanks this was very helpful for my next haul!

The people in the sweat shops making the clothes: 💀

I just got some headbands, keychains as gifts and the plastic roller shelf they had for $2 and change recently. I was pretty impressed! As far as their markers though compared to Ohuhu... I could tell even when you had it on the paper the one you got from Temu wasn't as bold in color as Ohuhu is. I use my Ohuhu markers all the time and I love them, I even had a faulty set from amazon and Ohuhu sent me a new set at no charge, because they 100% guarantee their stuff, reason I keep buying them =)

Loved this !

Omg glad you’re okay!

For the brush drying rack, I feel like the brushes may have been leaning because they were in spots for bigger brushes. The brushes that were in the smaller holes seemed to be just fine, it was the small ones in the huge holes that were the problem. I only read through a few comments and I've not seen past that point in the video so I apologise if I repeated something already talked about

Most important thing, I'm glad you're okay :) As for Temu, the old Latin phrase maintains its power to this day; "Caveat Emptor" or "Let the Buyer Beware". As for those warnings about the cheap prices being due to worker abuse, while you're right, I hope you're not posting from an iPhone. Apple is notoriously horrific to its Chinese workforce, just Google "Apple worker conditions" to see the horror show for yourself. For at least a decade (if not longer), they've been constantly reported on for their abhorrent factory conditions. So expensive price tags don't negate the abusive dynamics of a company. Just sayin''

literally any computer chip will have poor conditions; from the materials mined to produce them, to the factories where they are assembled. As for temu, they do actively audit suppliers. Temu itself is a bit like ebay; Temu does not produce any goods, they simply offer a platform for manufacturers to sell on (like wish and aliexpress for example). If someone on ebay sells stolen goods, for example, I would not blame ebay, but the dodgy seller.

Your final artworks are really beautiful, especially the colors combinations.

Omg that lightening strike!!! YIKES!!!

My mom got me those alcohol markers 2 years ago from Amazon and at the time they were like $40 but, I could never find them again on there 🤷🏽‍♀️. The red and pinks smelled terrible and and would make everything I drew smell just as bad, They did a really good job coloring . They’d be great for those wanting affordable alcohol markers. Unless if you have a sensitive nose.

Wait.... Houses can get struck by lightning and not set on fire? So glad you're safe but man that must SUUUUUUUUCK. I'm glad you did explain that some people can't afford to buy even cheap art supply and have to go through super shady, near slave like conditions for employee type places like Shien and Temu in order to survive. I hate that those sites exist, but I'm also sad some people can't even afford (or have) thrift stores near them. Although thrift store prices are starting to get to at or above retail for art supply

I am so glad she said the market was so good. I just literally bought 120 markers from Temu. For $33 and was wondering if it was going to be a waste of money since I know alcohol-based markers are so expensive. So I'm so glad I saw this video now I know I got my money worth and at a cheap price too!

Gosh, I'm glad you and your loved ones are safe after that scare! And I'm glad that nothing did catch fire, after seeing Rachel (from RachLovesLife) tell the story of how she lost a whole lot of stuff after a candle did catch fire over her holiday table it is a relief to know that it didn't happen to you too! I know how scary it can be because lightning struck a light/lamp post (? not sure of that, Eng. is not my first language) across the street. The sound was so scary! And the power went off for hours. It was in the middle of the night so most of the electronic stuff was off the only losses were the internet modem, cable tv thingy, and the HDMI port on the tv. We were without cable tv for a week and without internet for a month because the lightning burned the entire neighborhood modems. The guy that came to change the piece and test the connection said that they had to replace more than a 100 devices and they didn't even have that amount in stock to do it so suddenly. And they had to hire extra people to help in the process. At least we got a bill discount for the trouble.

Gal, my family had lightning hit the house twice and fried everything the first time. Now we unplug pretty much everything during bad thunderstorms. Thank you for trying out this stuff. I always wonder if their art supplies are worth the price, even as cheap as they are.

I’m so glad no one was hurt. Thank you for sharing

I'm glad I found this video! I've been wondering for a while now if the markers were similar to Ohuhu and I might just get the big set! It'll be a while before I can afford it, but I love the small set of Ohuhus that I have!

thank you for that intro ❤ i really appreciate how you mention that fast fashion is the only way some people can buy in fashion clothes. i rarely shop from sites like that, but i know what it feels like to be in high school and jealous of all of the popular girls for having the cutest clothes. there’s a lot of shame that you feel when you feel like you stick out because of your clothes.

Im absolutely not financially privileged, yet I still do my best to think about the ripple effect of how I shop. I buy some things from temu but use discretion. The tarot cards on there for instance are counterfeit. That hurts the original creators of those cards who are usually not financially privileged themselves. If buying something like a scrub brush or something, yeah buy from temu or walmart or amazon if thats what you can afford. Its a grey area. Not black and white. Think about what you buy and where. No matter our financial status, if we all did our best there, the world would be a much better place, including economically for all. Didnt go into detail like this on the original comment because I was trying to not write a book. Sometimes I forget that there's a lot of black and white thinkers out there and think my concise message would be understood within the grey area.

Wow! Great artwork, thanks!

The aquarelle and markers do indeed look nice, but I'm mainly concerned about the quality of the pigments used and therefore how light fast they will be. Name brands might come with a hefty price tag, but at least you know your art will last and you won't be left with an empty sheet of paper where you once spent hours painting on.

As far as alcohol markers go, they are pretty much never lightfast. Even Copics are not lightfast. They use dyes, not pigment inks. The really cheap watercolor are likely to use dyes as well, either exclusively or to enhance inexpensive pigments. The good news is: You won't be left with an empty sheet of paper anyway. Many times colors change, but they usually do not outright disappear. If you store your art well, without direct constant sunlight, it will last even with cheap supplies. If you want to hang it up, you could consider using UV resistant glass.

OMG Rae! Lightning strike sounds so scary! Glad you are ok. I love your positive attitude about the situation...

What brand did you buy? I bought the brand that was featured with similar results. I think if you search for example charcoal pencils you will be directed to all pencils and if you search cotton socks you will be directed to all socks.
