SPEAKERS

SuChin Pak, Tiktok Rec., Kulap Vilaysack, Claire, Tiffany

Tiffany  00:33

Welcome back to Add To Cart for a very special Friday [..] producer Tiffany here to deliver a little present from the aunties to you. Now, usually our premium episodes, or dream stream, if you’re nasty, are paywalled, but we are lifting the veil and releasing a few of these episodes for you today. Now these are some of my favorite premium episodes, and not just because the first one is me opening presents, although that is a nice plus. It’s because I would say Kulap, and SuChin are at least 25% more unhinged on the premium stream, and it is such a delight. They talk about what they bought recently and what they returned. They’ve done Tiktok trends and read posts from the subreddit r slash. Am I the asshole? It’s a really good time. They’re really in their element, as they always are, but we thought it would be a nice present to share with all of you, and I really want to say thank you so much for listening to another year of add to cart. We really couldn’t do this without all of you who understand that shopping isn’t just about spending money. It’s not just a frivolous pastime, although sometimes it can be and that’s fun. It’s about how we spend a little bit of our hearts and souls every day. And I really love making this show. I love seeing all of you who care about Kulap and SuChin as much as I do. So Happy Holidays. Happy New Year, and I really hope you enjoy this little present.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  03:30

Welcome back to Add To Cart. We’re doing a very special episode where our young maiden producer, Tiffany opens her Christmas present. Tiffany.

 

Tiffany  03:38

Hello, thank you very much. I’m honored to be here. I did not open the box yet. Get to it. Girl, I’m scared. I’m going to, I’m scared I’m going to stab myself as I open this.

 

SuChin Pak  03:49

Don’t do that.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  03:50

Don’t do that. That would be horrifying for us. Bo No, I mean, we’ll still post it in you, but we’re not going to feel good about last week posted about all the views we’re gonna get as you cut yourself, but you know, yeah, we’ll have to take it.

 

Tiffany  04:04

Packaged in a beautiful MoMA store cardboard box.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  04:09

A classic anti Ku, repurposing.

 

Tiffany  04:12

I’m sorry you paid for so much for shipping, Ku.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  04:15

Oh, don’t worry about it.

 

Tiffany  04:17

Okay? I see a card. I see a wrap present. Which would you like me to open first?

 

SuChin Pak  04:23

Gets, guess the wrap present, right? Yeah, card, yeah, blah, we love you, blah, you’re the best Tiffany.

 

Tiffany  04:30

And there is a, there’s this, but I could open the wrap.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  04:35

Yeah? Do that little one first.

 

SuChin Pak  04:35

Do that little it’s got a little, tiny, shiny, sparkly green bag that you can reuse and re gift. That’s it.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  04:36

I got it from Marshalls.

 

SuChin Pak  04:36

By the way, I love it. You know, who what animal gets a gift bag and actually writes on the gift tag, so you can’t reuse that bag. Who does that that? Yeah, it’s not in my tribe.

 

Tiffany  04:58

Ku, has gifted me. A chunks, which creates hair clips, really cute. Hair clips. And it’s a hair claw with check that’s checkered with purple flowers on it. It’s really cute. Thank you.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  05:11

It’s very it’s very Tiff. Now it’s not just Auntie Ku, It’s auntie Su. She’s got, yeah, everything that box is from us both.

 

Tiffany  05:20

Thank you. Okay, and now I have a beautiful wrapped box with deer, and it’s has little mushrooms on it. Is this also Marshalls. I’m gonna go buy this, right?

 

SuChin Pak  05:39

It was from Marshalls last year, though, I don’t know if you’ll find it this year.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  05:44

And even if it was this year.

 

SuChin Pak  05:45

You still wouldn’t be able to find it. Yeah, that’s the beauty of that’s the magic of Marshalls. That’s true. No, you just never know. Winter city, yeah, scavenging.

 

Tiffany  05:54

I forgot to send it to you guys, but on my last Marshalls run, I found a Martha Stewart like rigatoni shaped or bow tie pasta shaped candle.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  06:04

That’s amazing. That’s a fine. It’s a fine that goes right. You know, that’s a great documentary. That’s a fantastic is it?

 

Tiffany  06:18

It is a labubu that I spoke about in my previous premium episode, which I was scammed, is specifically we have a seat one where they sit down. Thank you. I’m gonna have like four of these on my bag at all times. Now explain to people what that is. Okay. So labubu is a very popular, mostly in Asia, keychain designed by a designer in Hong Kong, and it went really viral because a member of Blackpink had it on her purse. Lisa, that’s right. And they’re like, they’re called like little monsters because they look like little monsters, and they’re like furry, and they’re very popular, and people have stolen them off of other people’s bags. So now they sell them in, like, now you can buy, like, plastic cases to enclose them in and, like, really secure carabiners, so it’s like anti theft.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  07:11

Coveted. They are so, so beloved. Yeah, you get them at pop Mart, and they sell out immediately. Now you mentioned Lisa from Black Pink, and she her Christmas tree this year is entirely Lububu.

 

Tiffany  07:23

Oh, that’s wealth.

 

SuChin Pak  07:24

That’s wealth, right there, wealth flexing.

 

Tiffany  07:27

That’s right, beautiful. Thank you both so much.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  07:31

Okay, one more thing.

 

Tiffany  07:33

There’s a I did not know we had stamps. This was before my time.

 

SuChin Pak  07:36

Yeah, it was, yeah. That was a real fun time. You missed it when we were just stamping things willy nilly.

 

Tiffany  07:46

Oh, there’s an Edie Parker sticker on here.

 

Tiffany  07:49

Should be of no surprise. What could this be? But I was going by.

 

Tiffany  07:53

Why is it no surprise? Because we’re obsessed with these stupid underwear person under patches.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  08:00

Tiffany was like, Hey, you guys in our group chat, it’s on sale. We’re like, let’s see what. I have a side.

 

SuChin Pak  08:09

And she and COO was like, do we tell her not to get it? And I was like, I think you have to.

 

Tiffany  08:14

I was going to buy this.

 

SuChin Pak  08:16

Of course, you were as I was going to buy mine. And this is at some point you get to a friendship where this is what gift giving looks like. It just looks like cranky group chat being like, you better not buy that.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  08:34

God, you’re so annoying.

 

SuChin Pak  08:37

And then you get it, and all the joy is out of it, so that in private, you can look at it and admire it and have fun while the aunties are like, Oh, so you would tell me to tell you in the group chat.

 

Tiffany  08:50

And now we’re just pissed at each other.

 

SuChin Pak  08:53

But later on, you’re gonna put it on, you’re gonna look in the mirror and you’re gonna love it. And it came with a little lighter.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  08:59

Seems kind of crazy that they can ship it with a lighter, right? A little bit.

 

Tiffany  09:02

No, I love that. This is just blatantly for weed.

 

SuChin Pak  09:05

Oh, it’s like there was flame. I just did mine.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  09:08

Oh, there is flame.

 

SuChin Pak  09:10

And almost, okay, set it on fire. There is no.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  09:14

SuChin asked me a question, she said. And it was tough, because then I had to reveal to her, that’s correct. Why did you send it? Why are you sending it from your house? Like, why aren’t, I was like, coming directly.

 

SuChin Pak  09:25

I was like, don’t pay for shipping. And then I ruined

 

Kulap Vilaysack  09:29

Free shipping.

 

SuChin Pak  09:29

And she was like, well, because there’s other fucking things in it, you dumb, nosy witch. And I was like, God.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  09:39

So I’ll put this see how we ruin things for each other.

 

SuChin Pak  09:43

God and blame the other person.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  09:46

Doing a nice thing for you.

 

SuChin Pak  09:48

Merry Christmas, huh?

 

Tiffany  09:50

God damn it. Underwear. Evil so much I love this.

 

SuChin Pak  09:59

I know I’m. I have to get it in black.

 

Tiffany  10:01

Oh, I think I’m gonna get this in silver.

 

SuChin Pak  10:05

Well, we could, we could do a traveling sister granny panties, and then, like mid year, we’ll send each other swap it.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  10:14

This is smart.

 

Tiffany  10:15

This is very smart. Before we go. Can I send you? Because I was gonna buy this for myself, the dress that I was planning on wearing it with.

 

SuChin Pak  10:24

Please.

 

Tiffany  10:24

Yeah, when I see it, if I can. Oh, here. This is on AliExpress. That’s weird. Well, it’s Zara so, oh, wow. That is such a long link.

 

SuChin Pak  10:35

You’re feeling self conscious about the length of your link.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  10:37

How long it is?

 

Tiffany  10:38

It’s so long that the size of the line, we just have to click. It won’t send because it’s so long.

 

SuChin Pak  10:45

Oh, weird.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  10:47

Just screen share. Because I think probably what the issues is, there’s so much spyware. It coming from Holly.

 

Tiffany  10:52

Well, it’s, it’s AliExpress. Can you see my […]

 

Kulap Vilaysack  10:55

Okay, look at that. Sexy with the big bow in the back with the big bow in the back that is so wait till you.

 

SuChin Pak  11:04

Wait till you add the big undies to that outfit. See that says, like you, I’m so hot for you. And then the undies say, not for you. You mean that’s the dual message you always want to give off as a young person correct at a party is like, please. Oh, but Ew, not you.

 

Tiffany  11:29

It’s a black halter neck dress with a giant velvet olive bow in the background in the back of the dress, gorgeous $14.

 

SuChin Pak  11:37

Merry Christmas, young.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  11:39

Merry Christmas.

 

Tiffany  11:40

Thank you aunties, Merry Christmas. Thank you for seeing and loving me.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  11:46

Well, that’s a great transition into a major purchase I made from Balsam Hill, which is outdoor Merry Christmas ornaments, set of two. And what these are guys? Let’s have such an describe what they are.

 

SuChin Pak  12:02

22 inch diameter and height, red ornament, and one says Merry, and the other one says Christmas. And they’re red ornaments with white snowflakes on them.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  12:17

That’s right, they’re huge.

 

SuChin Pak  12:20

And you guys, these are big balls. I mean, maybe the biggest balls I’ve seen, because I’ve seen some big balls inside your house, and this does not even compare.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  12:33

Yes, I just had to laugh at myself when these two huge boxes show up. I show up. Oh, they’re my big boxes. But then I look at my house, and I go, there’s more that could be done. I don’t want to do here. There’s more that could be done. More trees to be had. Like, honestly, I’ve been following, like, some, like, Christmas people now, like some Instagram people who, like, do this for a living, and I’m good, but like, not at their level, like they would like my staircase.

 

SuChin Pak  13:12

Ornaments, and kind of put you in a different level.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  13:16

Though, I think there’s, I’m not.

 

SuChin Pak  13:18

I think I moved into some, some other place, which, you know, is incredible. I do have to say, like, I see where you’re going. Ku, it is just the beginning.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  13:30

Yeah, and I think that that’s tough pill for everybody in this household to swallow, that it is just a beginning. I think people were feeling like there would be an end. Like, like, as we talked about a ceiling for me and my ceiling for Christmas, C stands for Christmas, but they ain’t no minus. It’s plus.

 

SuChin Pak  13:56

Welcome back to another premium. I cannot wait to tell you what is in my cart. It’s actually right on my desk.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  14:02

What’s that, Su?

 

SuChin Pak  14:04

2024 everyone’s going to be sick of me talking about it. But guess what? I don’t get again, I’m taking my family to Korea, taking my family to Korea.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  14:14

I disagree. I want freaking details.

 

SuChin Pak  14:17

I know, but the details, I mean, they’re just gonna be pouring in every single week, because it’s just, I, that’s how I do big trips, right? I really just dive in. And so it’s the first time that my kids are going. I’m taking my mom, my brother’s coming to help me out. I’m doing this by myself. And so already, really, since September, or October, I’ve been planning for this trip in various ways. And I don’t know how you plan for a trip, but the first thing I plan for is, what is the sleeping situation? The pillows?

 

Kulap Vilaysack  14:53

Oh, I thought you meant hotel.

 

SuChin Pak  14:57

Where we lay our heads, but you’re like, no. Even women, are we laying on? What are we laying on? And so I came across this thing on this little elegant side called Amazon. And sorry, I mean, Jeff’s store. Yes, Jeff’s my boss, el Hefei, yeah, el Hefei. And El heffe is selling this product where you take a you take a neck pillow that doesn’t have any stuffing in it, okay, and then you open up a zipper, and then you stuff it with your socks and your underwear and whatever, so that you can bring more luggage, so that you can sneak more luggage in without having to add to your suitcase count. And I thought, god damn it, if there wasn’t a product that Jeff has made that was more for me than this, then this has got to be it.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  15:54

I know. But your ass is gonna fill it with snacks, and they’re gonna be like, Hey, lady, I know that. Put it around your neck right now. There’s a can of something.

 

SuChin Pak  16:05

I don’t care what I fill it with, is my goddamn business. But what I know on the airline policy is is that neck pillows are not considered part of luggage. So that’s on you for that.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  16:16

This should be on Prime I’m actually kind of pissed off at you that you’re giving it to the people who pay like if the masses need this fucking lunacy, no.

 

SuChin Pak  16:25

They masses got enough of this. This is why you pay for premium, baby. So I got this thing, you guys. It is soft velvet fabric, and then it has a zipper, and you fill it with all your socks, in your underwear, whatever you want, your canned corn.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  16:40

The other your thing, you’re gonna make your entire family do this too. That’s because don’t even be your craziness. You’re gonna force your children into this behavior.

 

SuChin Pak  16:48

It also comes with, look at this wide strap. It comes with a very thick a strap that should be on a duffel bag to hold it, because they know that this shit is going to be heavy. Okay, there’s going to be, you know, bicycle helmets.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  17:07

You zoom your behavior with Annie. Why do you have to pull your children into this?

 

SuChin Pak  17:13

Oh, my children, they must learn young. And if they’re opposed to it, then pay for the ticket yourself.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  17:21

Get a job. I have never heard of this. And the fact that, you know, you We joke about like, you know, we fall in love in a hopeless place. And usually you talk about two individuals, two people who have beating hearts. But now I’m talking about SuChin Pak and a product that Jeff sells like that, that you two star crossed lovers could find one another. It’s a miracle.

 

SuChin Pak  17:51

When I sit here week after week and.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  17:55

She’s never been so awake like she’s so jazzed right now you guys ridicule me the adrenaline coursing through her veins, bring back.

 

SuChin Pak  18:06

Dress on mazukas.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  18:09

Oh, we are bringing. We are bringing. Oh, my God, I think. What about Jason?

 

SuChin Pak  18:14

I have to say to all you mofos, you ding dongs and hosts, there is a company out in the world, okay, who is making these and making millions of dollars, because there’s so many of us out there that see the value in this product, which means, by default. See the value in my lifestyle brand there? I rest my case. Your Honor, I don’t think we need to go to the jury.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  18:49

We’re in court.

 

SuChin Pak  18:50

Why have we? Have we have shown, beyond a reasonable doubt, that there are legions.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  18:59

This is coming up in our main show. I hope you know this. You, you’re very tricky. Everyone thinks that you’re just a sweet little journalist. You, you have your secrets.

 

SuChin Pak  19:12

I don’t have any secrets good. I wish […]

 

Kulap Vilaysack  19:15

I could you have your life.

 

SuChin Pak  19:16

I wish I have your some of these secrets to myself, and I could just keep my mouth shut, but I can’t, and this anti behavior takes over. And I say it’s best not to let people know that you’ve got underwear and socks around your neck. Like keep some of the dignity that you have built over a career of of being in the in the in the zeitgeist at times, and let’s keep some of that dignity from long ago, that currency and yet, no, it just here I am with underwear strapped.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  19:50

You called it. You called it the very beginning that you were gonna do what Connie Chung did in a different way, though, you were gonna be in a ball gown singing. And this is what this is. This thing is one for the memories. Thanks for the memories.

 

SuChin Pak  20:08

Hose, if you right now, drop everything and YouTube. Connie Chung, swan song, you’re welcome. This is a premium. I hope they’re charging extra for this content.

 

SuChin Pak  25:01

Okay, so this is a remove from cart Add to Cart situation, but it’s a very reluctant Add to Cart. I want to talk about garbage cans, specifically indoor kitchen garbage cans. Now, what is the garbage situation in your kitchen?

 

Kulap Vilaysack  25:17

It’s a pull out, and then it’s a little under a tall kitchen size, side by side garbage and recycling. And then on the counter we, of course, have, I have a bin for the loamy and then I have another bin for what the lomi can take, which is seeds and bones. What do you do with the seeds and bones? They just, sorry.

 

SuChin Pak  25:40

This is off topic.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  25:40

They they just go into the green bin.

 

SuChin Pak  25:42

Okay, got it, yeah.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  25:44

And then does the under the counter have a lid?

 

SuChin Pak  25:47

No, okay, much like my just frustration with toilet bowl brushes. And if you’ve tuned into this show, I don’t understand why toilet bowl brushes don’t they can’t figure out a technology to keep these things cleaner, so at the beginning of the pandemic, I bought one with a UV light that supposedly cleaned it. That company has gone under. I’m not even just gone away into the night, so I can’t buy any more of those. Much like that. My frustration with kitchen garbage cans and that we cannot figure out how to make this work. We don’t put our garbage in that bin underneath because it doesn’t have a lid, right? And Mike doesn’t want any garbage in their list, so we use that for recycling. Okay? So it’s just dry items and that sort of thing. And then we have a separate kitchen garbage can that’s a free standing garbage can that you put all your garbage into. And so much research, we’ve bought so many different garbage cans, really expensive garbage cans, cheaper garbage cans all the way and kept returned a bunch of them, and this is the one that we settled on, which is simple, human, great product. $140 it’s a great garbage can. 11,000 plus ratings, 4.7 however, this little fucker, I don’t understand how you make a garbage can, and there are little crevices around for whatever. I don’t even know what they’re there for that food and liquid can get stuck into. I don’t understand why there’s like a weird little divot in the lid, and you don’t know it until one day there’s ants going in, and you realize this whole time, the entire time, you’ve had this freaking thing that you could take the lid off and pull it apart to then clean the inside. So all this happened because we had an ant infestation, and it would not stop, no even if the garbage can was empty. And so we were like, What is going on? And we kind of tore this thing apart, and we realized there were all these places that food and little crumbs and juices were going into for years, because we’ve had this garbage can for two plus years now. So that really pissed me off. You know, it’s like, why.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  28:17

Yeah, it should be sealed because.

 

SuChin Pak  28:20

It should trash can. And so we researched, we’re going back into the lab. Mike, this has been his obsession for two weeks since I’ve been gone, and we’re back to the same freaking garbage can. Couldn’t find anything better. So what we did was we then taped all the places, man, can you believe this? And so now we have this garbage can that just has tape around it. I’m sorry. We don’t want to live like this. I didn’t ask. We didn’t we’re not asking for this. What kind of tape? Like, like, strong Yeah? Like, duct tape, yeah? And I said to Mike, when I came in, I was like, This is not your brand. It’s not your style. What is this? Why is there tape all over this? He was like, first of all, this is a new garbage can. And I was like, what this is? This is our old garbage can. He’s like, hold on. He told me the whole saga, while I was gone on vacation, what had happened, and that he had to re, just re, buy the old garbage can and then duct tape it. And I thought, I know, yeah, this is the best we can do. So it’s a remove from cart. It’s an Add to Cart. But it’s also, here’s a little tip for you.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  29:43

SuChin, I feel like we joke about you writing a book, but the title is, this was the best we could do.

 

SuChin Pak  29:54

Oh, this is my favorite game. This is, this is the game that is a glue to my marriage with Mike. I. Um, some things. Are some other titles. I mean, just for your, you know, for your consideration. Now, what that was one of my favorites. What’s the punctuation on that? No punctuation, yeah. Just now, what? Yeah, it’s really flat. Another one I threw out there that sometimes I say things and I think it’s funny, but maybe the other person who’s a little bit more sensitive, let’s just say, is pretend I’m dead. That’s when I said, you come in here. You ask, hey, pretend I’m dead. What would you do if I was dead in a coffin, stiff as a piece of jerky. Could you figure this out yourself? Just pretend I’m dead.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  30:41

Pretend I’m dead. As a pretty that’s pretty solid. I think that’s that’s be that’s the winner so far of the choices. Pretend I’m dead, the SuChin Pak story.

 

SuChin Pak  30:54

Pretty much sums it up.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  30:57

And pretend my I’m dead. It’s like, with your like, smiling, it’s like, you smiling, almost like a clown on the cover. So happy.

 

SuChin Pak  31:08

So happy. Inviting, you know, encouraging, like, it’s not a like, oh yeah. It’s like, no, let’s play a really fun game. It’s my favorite game in the whole world. Are you ready for it? It’s called pretend I’m dead. Oh, my God. Are you so excited? Okay, here’s how it goes. You have a question, and then I pretend I’m dead. Isn’t this fun? I’m having fun.

 

Kulap Vilaysack  31:40

Good, and that’s another episode of Add To Cart premium.

 

Claire  31:45

Welcome to another bonus. Nope, welcome to another premium episode of Add to Cart. I am Claire, one of the producers of the show here with sweet Sue while cuckoo is on break with her sweet baby and we are here looking at another Tiktok brought to us from our dearest associate producer, Tiffany Bui.

 

SuChin Pak  32:13

Thank goodness for Tiffany. You have signed off on Tiktok.

 

Claire  32:16

I signed off. I couldn’t do it.

 

SuChin Pak  32:19

I mean, guys, she said no, because she was spending too much time on Tiktok I had a lot of doing this show, she had to go on a Tiktok diet.

 

Claire  32:30

I literally had to take the app off my phone. And I said, Tiffany, I need you to look up tiktoks For Add to Cart, because every time I log on for our premium content, I don’t log off for four hours, and the work day is over and I haven’t completed any other work. So here we are.

 

SuChin Pak  32:46

Again, which is why I don’t do Tiktok.

 

Claire  32:49

Yes, do not do.

 

SuChin Pak  32:50

I know that about myself.

 

Claire  32:52

Kulap knew she knew that about both of us.

 

SuChin Pak  32:54

But this is enough. I get it. I we get this every, every few weeks, I get to see the biggest like I don’t, I’m in the know, you know, without having to lift a finger. And that’s really where the kernel of my life, you know, sits is, how do I get the most done without doing jack shit? Anyway, yep.

 

Claire  33:14

Okay, so this one is, it’s a crying it’s crying makeup. The trend was started by Zoe Kim Keneally. I hope I say I’m saying her name, right? So we’re just gonna watch.

 

SuChin Pak  33:29

Crying makeup?

 

Claire  33:30

Yeah.

 

SuChin Pak  33:32

Understand what this means, but that’s the beauty of Tiktok.

 

Claire  33:36

Exactly. Okay, here we go.

 

Tiktok Rec.  33:38

So this one is for the unstable girlies. You know how we look good when we cry. Just come through the territory. But anyway, if you’re not in the mood to cry, here’s how to get the liquid makeup. Okay? So we want that puffy, soft lip, right? We’re going in with a soft spoken lip by M cosmetics, blurring the edges with a brush, and then going back in with a neutral liner next. It’s really a monochromatic moment, going in with a double cheeked up palette by Fenty beauty over my eyes, under my eyes, on my cheeks, and, of course, my nose. Next we’re recreating that glisten in our eyes with some liquid glitter on the bottom lash line and my favorite vinyl effect by about face, put it where you want shine. The Cupid’s bow is a gray area. The lashes gotta be curled, okay? It just leaves the look, but most of all, the gloss.

 

SuChin Pak  34:21

So it’s makeup that makes you look like you cried beautifully.

 

Claire  34:27

Yes, in front of the camera glisten.

 

SuChin Pak  34:29

Because post cry from the rest of us, it looks like a shredded paper towel. I guess not this look.

 

Claire  34:39

I look like I just ingested something that I’m highly allergic to.

 

SuChin Pak  34:42

Yeah, no, I look no. I look like a shredded paper towel. I mean, nothing about it’s all jagged edges. Not everything is dry. Hives you know, it’s textured, so, this is a different type of crying. This is a, oh, I’m a model. This is how the young people cry. This is how young people cry. Let’s watch, okay, oh, there’s more. Watch this all day. […] This is fascinating. Okay, go.

 

Claire  35:11

Okay. Oh, God, what is she doing?  […]

 

SuChin Pak  35:27

I like this one because she added kind of a bottom mascara that’s a little bit smeared.

 

Claire  35:32

Yes, yeah, she has so, so there was only music for that one, but we couldn’t describe it. So the final product is, I mean, she does look beautiful. She has tears streaming down her face, which can only be described as like, as streaks of like, white glitter, very red the.

 

SuChin Pak  35:52

Tip of her tip of her nose is red. Her eyes are in monochromatic. It’s kind of blush, you know, up on top and below, because she’s been loving her Willow wise crying,  she’s got a lot of gloss in her lip, because maybe some of that glitter snot, but it’s, but it’s so gorgeous, though, because it’s glitter snot, not normal snot.

 

Claire  36:19

Yep, it’s right, because that’s other thing, is that when these when the young people are crying gorgeously, all of their snot is glittered.

 

SuChin Pak  36:29

So this is really just sad fairies. Is that what?

 

Claire  36:31

This is just like pixie crying.

 

SuChin Pak  36:34

Oh, is this another one?

 

Claire  36:36

Oh, yeah, we got one more.  I’m sorry to keep.

 

SuChin Pak  36:38

No, I want to see another one. I want to see another. Because I think people’s interpretation of this is fascinating, because some people go really all out, you know, glitter, tears. So I want to see what this version of crying makeup.

 

Claire  36:51

Yeah, same, okay, here we go.

 

Tiktok Rec.  36:54

Hold on, I have to try that look. I swear to God, tick tock always comes up with, like, a new makeup trend every two weeks, and I am participating in each and every single one of those strands. And I’m gonna start off with this illuminated primer, because, you know, you get kind of glazy and sweaty after you cry. I’m just using the max drop cream, and today we are skipping all of the foundation concealer, whatever. I’m just gonna go ahead and use this shape lip pigment by all glows. This is in the shade hibiscus, I don’t know, top words in my cheeks like that. And a little bit on my eyes. Okay, add a little on my under eyes like that, and then blend it out. I did my brows off cam and comment down below. You want to see how I do my brows onto the eyes. I’m just gonna take a little bit of black eyeshadow on a pencil brush and smoke it out. Just smudge it out. It looks like you’ve been crying with mascara on. And that is the look that we want. And here’s the finished look. What do we think I feel like this book snaps. I love it. I love this dress.

 

SuChin Pak  37:54

So that Tiktok creator, I love that, that they explained each step, you know, which was kind of nice sometimes, like when you’re looking at a new makeup trend, you’re you have to deconstruct it. And if you’re not a makeup person, that’s really hard to do. I have some thoughts. Number one, I cry every day at some point, and I don’t look like that, nor do I want people to know that I’ve cried. I cry silently, usually in a dark laundry room or in my car. And I do that for a reason. Number two, this, this trend of crying makeup, I’m not quite sure. I mean, it’s giving me damsel and distress vibes, which makes me a little uncomfortable. And because of that, I cannot get down with this trend.

 

Claire  38:46

This is a remove from cart.

 

SuChin Pak  38:48

Remove from cart. Also, this whole shit is sliding off your face the second you leave the house. I don’t care how much glitter, how much gloss, like it all looks perfect for a Tiktok. But like you’re at Whole Foods and, you know, you get sprayed with some vegetable spray. You’re done. That’s it. What do you think?

 

Claire  39:11

I feel about this trend the same way I feel about fake eyelashes, which, which have, are a really big trend right now. But like, if you take fake eyelashes out, out of the context of being an IT thing right now, they make young women look like dolls in like a kind of a scary way, and it to me, I just don’t like the trend.

 

SuChin Pak  39:37

Yeah, I agree with you. I don’t think it’s too deep. I think that’s kind of the root of it, right? Like you said it, it’s like pixies crying, but like, we all know that, how problematic the Manic Pixie gal in, you know, film, yeah? Dream Girl, yeah. Manic Pixie. Dream girl did not lead to good places. No, for. Whole generation of women. So I don’t know. I mean, I think it’s cute. I love that it’s on Tiktok for a moment, and that’s what Tiktok is, yeah, you know, it’s just a yearbook photo.

 

Claire  40:13

Yeah, honestly, what I like is that it just looks like people are slugging and then not taking it off.

 

SuChin Pak  40:17

And that’s just one less step, it’s just.

 

Claire  40:20

Exactly that’s how I’m gonna interpret this is that I’m gonna slug at night, I’m gonna slug in the morning, and then I’m just gonna go to work, to the we work, where I’m currently sitting.

 

SuChin Pak  40:28

Crying, and everyone’s like, whoa Claire is upset.

 

Claire  40:32

With Vaseline on my face. And be like, no, this is crying makeup.

 

SuChin Pak  40:35

Crying makeup. It’s a trend. It’s crying makeup. She’s so cool, everyone’s like.

 

Claire  40:38

Yeah, I’m extremely trendy right now. I’m crying. It’s my makeup. And people are like, tears are falling down. I’m like, a very good makeup. I’m extremely talented. Thank you, and it’s glitter, so it’s, yeah, my tears are made of glitter. Okay, great. Well, it seems like both of us are removing this one. So that’s it for this week. Thanks for listening to our premium content. What are we adding or removing from TikTokj with Su and Claire, next time Kulap, will  probably be here. Maybe we don’t know. We don’t see you.
