I refuse to buy from out of touch companies like this. People are losing their houses and can't find jobs to replace the ones they were laid off from, and here they are bragging about sending people on private jets to Bora Bora. Absolutely not.
I completely agree. I work for a private airport and the company gives free unlimited flights to certain people but not to the employees who actually work for the company and help the company get rich 🫠
Would love to see some employees on a trip like this!! It would be cool to see their grwm's since they work for the company and are probably super familiar with the brand.
yep! and the amount of sponsors they get for this trip aswell. brands send them products to give to the influencers so they aren’t spending that $. also - it is very telling of how they sent the normal girl on a regular plane. I believe it is the most authentic thing they have done because it’s how they would treat us normies. us normies who buy their products and watch these videos. it’s a sad thought but they will never care as much about their consumers as they do these influencers
That’s a good point and it must be frustrating for employees to see how much they spend on these trips and all the extravagant gifts without giving that same kind of treatment to those that allow their company to continue running
@@nicolehazellmiller8012how do you know they don’t? They can’t and probably don’t feel like posting everything. Most companies give work trips. This is no different. These are influencers they are in peoples faces 24/7 there’s a reason they broadcast these trips.
Peace n love to Tarte but NOTHING about their brand trips ever make me want to go out and buy a product. Good and trust worthy reviews from influencers and my friends make me want to.
How are a bunch of random privileged people I’ve never seen before who are going on a free trip because of a company going to make me want to buy random makeup products??
They’re hoping you are 13, latching onto every single word and movement your idol says and does and that you’ll run to the nearest outlet to get the products just because they’re using them.
I understand why it is the way it is. But its ironic how influencers, who already make good money, get so many free packages, experinces and in this case full ass luxury trips. While we broke peasants have to spend our little money and very likely will never experience anything like this. I'm not even jealous, may they enjoy what they can, but its ironic nevertheless😂
YES!! What you said 8:30 not everyone needs to be an influencer but maybe if they invited some teachers, office workers, or just stay at home peeps, I would have respected this more. I do like more representation was added but the way the world is right now, I have no thoughts, sympathy or need to look at others that flaunt the money that could be paying my rent and buying me groceries. No thanks! This is why I feel the rich and wealthy are out of touch.
i don’t think people who actually care about contributing to society in a meaningful way would feel the need to go on these shammy brand trips.. tarte should not be a place you seek to see representation
Totally agree. It drums up drama and keeps their name relevant in the beauty space but… lots of other companies are out here doing that with their pro👏ducts 👏… jusaaaying
@@sarahwales6276for real though what do people want to see? What would even make a good brand trip? It seems it’s impossible for these companies to do anything right in the publics eyes
Why would I. Someone who is broke a f. Spend money so they can take rich people on trips and give them expensive gifts that I don't get when I'm spending the money Maybe if they send me on a trip instead of someone who can already afford it then I would buy them but I don't fund rich people's vacations
I don’t really care what their marketing excuse is anymore. I actively avoid Tarte after years of stupid decisions on their part. If they really wanted to “make great relationships🥺” they could just send products to super loyal customers.
No brand is going to allow regular people on press trips that cost $100k+ bc there’s no ROI. These press trips are business. Bringing fans on a press trip gives them no value in return because they have no influence. Influencers do. If regular people went on them, it’s a free trip then and Tarte doesn’t get any value out of them. Trippin with Tarte are business deals with an exchange being made.
people need to realize that these trips aren’t really about the consumers. yeah it’s convenient that the influencers post content from these trips, but its about keeping those influencer relationships positive for content they’ll make once they get back. tarte dgaf what we have to say about the trips, as long as the influencers are happy, then they get their payback via PR reviews. thats why last time when it was an INFLUENCER who was hurt, they apologized to her, and “tried to make up for it” (barely), but it’s about how the influencers see the brand. they’re essentially free spokespeople at that point. when someone loves the people behind a brand from building those actual relationships within it, then they’ll defend them and support them.
True, but it’s getting to the point that the public is seeing through the veneer of influencer sponsorships and advertisement… it’s just not going to work as well as it once did in the 2010s. Companies will probably have to start putting in more effort towards quality and advertise more based on that, rather than ‘influencer’ campaigns and reviews.
@@jgarcia9829 For the older market, I agree! For the younger market, i.e. the younger Gen Z and this up and coming generation, influencer marketing is still as beneficial as ever, if not more with the influx of “Sephora kids”. Parents hear their kids talk about a brand, parents get those products for their kids. People hear their friends talk about “brands they hear about on TikTok” and get them for theirselves. Influencers’ choices and opinions they put out there become word of mouth, positive or negative, so I don’t think influencer marketing will ever be null and void with that in mind. But I do think its time to spice it up beyond brand trips and PR.
How about taking real regular everyday people on this nice trip. I’d actually be more interested in that. I don’t feel bad for these people taking 3 days off their jobs for a trip.. wow so hard
Especially when for most of them, their jobs are to create content that promotes a specific lifestyle and brand … which is exactly what the trip is for lol she made it seem like she was asking teachers to take a 3 day vacay in the middle of a school year or something
These trips are drop in the bucket for their marketing budget. They're not like breaking the bank or pushing the product up more than it would've already been.
I’ve blocked most everyone on the trip and won’t be buying their products… which I haven’t anyways in years. Things like this are just so disgusting and tone deaf. If they’ve got $1M to blow then they should donate it.
Shape tape was one of my first, if not the first, higher end makeup items I bought. I felt so ripped off. I don't buy this brand but I sometimes get it from Ipsy. It's not all that.
I mean if we look at the reach cruise-tok had; with the use of non/small influencers; I can imagine a tart trip with similar selection of people could have the same result. Probably even get their name out to people who weren't already tart consumers, they also could have done full tart makeover sessions with this new group demonstrating products.
I mean personally, I don’t really care what others do with their money as long as they aren’t directly harming someone. You wanna take a bunch of influencers on a ridiculously excessive trip? Fine. I don’t buy branded makeup anyway (except elf, because they don’t mark up much and are fully vegan, which is important to me since I’m vegan), but I don’t see how this trip is any more excessive than the products that they sell themselves. It’s a luxury brand. This is nothing new. You’re paying for an idea. You’re paying for the brand. Yes you get a physical product, but the same factory making those is the same factory making somebody else’s product that’s barely marked up. In some cases you can buy directly from the manufacturer and pay the least amount of markup. Anyways, I’m ranting. My point is just I don’t see why anyone would expect a luxury brand to NOT do excessive things. The makeup itself is excessive. Excessive packaging, excessive marketing, excessive PR, excessive markups. And so on and so forth.
i remember andrea russett went and it seemed like it was a lot less toxic when it was newer. i guess the environment the regular working class is in right now makes these trips feel out of touch and dystopian. i also feel like it’s really obvious what influencers are brown-nosing tarte because they want to be invited
Ppl don’t realize that their promo isn’t for during the trip, it’s the lead up before. On the cancelled podcast Brooke was talking about tarte so much (jokingly). I’m sure that other people also were heavily pushing tarte over the summer with the hopes of getting invited. That’s how it works. The talk and promo they get during the trip is just publicity. Eventually people will forget the outrage and then influencers will push tarte come the summer/fall with the hopes of being invited. It’s all a cycle peeps
why people care so much 😭 these trips happen every year us normies can’t cry that these influencers are being given things for free why is this one trip different compared to their entire careers
I totally would appreciate it more if they did a brand trip with “normal” people, like spilly said. Especially with so many ppl losing jobs and/or not being able to afford a vacation etc. And the whole “we want everyone attending to be as comfortable as possible bc we’re asking them to take 3 days out of their schedules” is crazy to say when you send the one “normal” person on a commercial flight… OKAY tarte lol
I think they are starting to lose their appeal, because most of them lost their relatability. In the mid 2000s to the early 2010s most of these ‘beauty gurus’ made videos on the floor of their bedrooms with their webcams, now they own mansions, with full on ‘beauty rooms’ and camera and lighting setups worth thousands….
It’s a huge Tax Write Off for them. So in that sense I understand why they do it. Have I ever bought Tarte before nope. So idk if that marketing actually works. Unless they are trying to get other creators or creators just starting out to buy tons of makeup just to maybe get picked for a brand trip? 🤔 Maybe that works for them
This trips are turning up so lavish that I wonder if they still worth it, like with people not buying make up like they used to, and now people saying they are never buying from Tarte again, are they still making THAT much money? How?
@@sydneysovern As a disabled person recovering from a surgery I don't have time for that but looking at the tarte posts no I see no disabled creators from past trips. Would love to know if there are cause I feel really sad not to see my own kind.
@@sydneysovern Girl don't worry I'm an Accessibility Consultant, I don't think any autistic creators or anyone who publicly raises awareness for chronic illness were involved either. I don't really get myself tangled with this online stuff but it's just something I noticed
What confuses me is the fact that some of the influencers have never used a tarte product in their videos. They only use it occasionally on the trip and it’s in passing.
"1 lucky person & their guest"... I'm curious, does anyone know if this offer was made BEFORE or AFTER Tana & Brooke had to cancel their attendance for the trip? Super curious :-p
Nah if my business is doing so well, I'm taking my employees and those customers who spent the most money on my product that year. I already do that, sending extra gifts for free to 10 people who spent the most money per year 🎉
I feel like people think that tarte is the only one to ever do brand trips? Like I know it stopped during covid so most people didn’t see that for a few years but before that there were just as crazy brand trips imo.
I think the problem is the average person is having to choose between food and bills right now, and trips like these is a huge middle finger in their face. Like a "look at what youll never get to do, buy our products anyways". Theres already a difference in how the average person got treated vs the influencers and if thats how they feel towards their client base, then it makes sense people arent going to receive it well.
How much do you think they spent on marketing before social media? Pages in magazines or tv commercial! This is how the products sell now. Social media influencers!
Its funny coz I think of how I use to work in tourism here in NZ. We use to get tourist activities free so we knew the product and excitedly promote it. I got flown to the south Island and got an all expenses paid two week bus tour with awesome activities every day from bungy jumps to cruises, bar tabs to restaurant dinners. I kinda see this as the equivalent to my reach but there wasn't social media to the scale it is now. Also flown to Auckland to watch the ABs v England in a corporate box as a thank you when I worked in a bar from the brewery. Same sort of thing just different scale. This sort of thing has been going on for years its just now social media has changed the game.
I think my biggest issue with brand trip content is that it’s just boring af to me. Most of the chosen influencers are all pretty similar & have the same vibe. I wanna see the Welsh twins on one of these things!
These trips making every smaller influence want to push Tarte products so they can go on the next trip. Marking wise, this is genius. People will forget the “boycott” in a week.
I work in marketing and this trip is always so fascinating to me. They could just hire the same influencers to hand deliver donations to schools or different charities and spend half the money and it look better and still be a tax write off
Marketing is marketing. If you don’t want to buy from tarte because of their marketing budget then don’t buy from any company that’s had a Super Bowl commercial. The costs are absurdly similar. These trips are MARKETING. not philanthropy. I love seeing these trips. They look so fun.
I LOVE your take on this, very well developed opinions always. Open minded and always analyzing situations from different perspectives which is hard to find. Just genuinely appreciate it :)
Whats crazy is, these influencers NEVER post Tarte products unless they are being paid or unless they are already on the trip and have to post their products 😂🤭
People who think it’s either paying for a brand trip or paying employees more 😭 I fear you are gravely misunderstanding how our capitalistic system works. Would be curious to know if ppl getting upset know how much employees at the brands they purchase from get paid. Bless their hearts.
It’s especially ridiculous considering the employees these brands hire to sell their products in the actual stores. Not once did I ever hear a customer ask for products because of x influencer (at least the brand I worked for). Our hours depended on how many $$ worth of products we sold. What did we get for hitting one or the highest sales goals? A dinner, yet we’d see the brand send influencers on these lavish trips.
Ever since Morgan Adams shared her awful experience on a brand trip, bullying, body shaming, food shaming, etc, I will never think these trips are good and I’ll never not think about who is getting put down and bullied on them
I don’t watch beauty channels anymore, haven’t for years. It makes me absolutely ill to see a company spend so frivolously on a trip. There’s so much going on in this world and a cosmetics company is choosing to spend wasteful money on something that is clearly and solely to benefit their bottom line. This trip wasn’t designed to be life changing for these influencers who can afford their own vacations. This trip wasn’t a “thank you” for loyal customers. This was self serving for the brand. I’d have much preferred to see then put money toward homeless camps or dog shelters where people who care for others upload videos on how much a donation has impacted the real world around us. I’m over the “influencer” bs.
I think people pretend they would like “normal” people to go, but the reality is those same people are always going to have something negative to say regardless.
I feel like I can’t trust influencers that praise Tarte products going forward. How do we know if they really love the products, or if they just want to get selected for the trip again and/or if they feel like they have to give good reviews because of the trip.
They better start selling the P.R 😂 before it's duplicated. I would much rather support tart if they supported those whom need help. Such as a woman's shelter or an animal shelter. A 👏🏻 NON 👏🏻 PROFIT!!!!
There are actual makeup influencers and artists that have probably been in the game longer than many of those in the video. That’s who needs to be there.
I’ll never understand why these companies dont treat their actual customers or employees on trips like this. Why pay for someone who can afford to go and you pay to review instead of the people who work hard to be able to treat themselves to your products?
Aren't these trip not for the influencers? Like a way that they say thank you to all them for their support. I get its also publicity. But why would they get a bad rep if they are just treating the people that help them get there?
Started using Tarte when I was a teen and I’ve just stayed a loyal customer for some damn reason this whole time?? Despite this being a topic every year that Tarte does an influencer trip. It’s so annoying. I’ve replaced pretty much all my makeup now, my 4500+ points have been sitting for years, and I’ve even turned my nose to free full sized mascara. This whole trip thing is such a bad taste. Show your gratitude to the people actually putting money in your pockets instead.
1:39 it’s always gonna be a win for them since it’s a tax right off. The more $ spent on the vacay, the more they get to right it off as an expense 🤷🏽♀️
I’d go buy ALL Tarte products if they treated their EMPLOYEES to trips like this… WHY treat influencers? That do shit?!
I refuse to buy from out of touch companies like this. People are losing their houses and can't find jobs to replace the ones they were laid off from, and here they are bragging about sending people on private jets to Bora Bora. Absolutely not.

Have I ever bought Tarte before nope. So idk if that marketing actually works. Unless they are trying to get other creators or creators just starting out to buy tons of makeup just to maybe get picked for a brand trip? 🤔 Maybe that works for them
They literally sent ONE “normal person” couple. Wow Tarte, thanks for going the extra mile
They need to consult the poc on their 27 shades of paper and one chalky brown shade.
The biggest joke is out of all those paper shades none of them work for properly pale people. They can’t even get that right
This trips are turning up so lavish that I wonder if they still worth it, like with people not buying make up like they used to, and now people saying they are never buying from Tarte again, are they still making THAT much money? How?
Tax write off
Show casing Lavish items and Lifestyles that most can't afford.
Its just disappointing because they aren't including disabled creators, you know?
This!!! Yes!!!
Did you check all their profiles to check if any of them were disabled? I did not, I’m just wondering how you know.
@@sydneysovern As a disabled person recovering from a surgery I don't have time for that but looking at the tarte posts no I see no disabled creators from past trips. Would love to know if there are cause I feel really sad not to see my own kind.
@@shinygirlari hopefully I don’t need to point out that not all disabilities are visible
@@sydneysovern Girl don't worry I'm an Accessibility Consultant, I don't think any autistic creators or anyone who publicly raises awareness for chronic illness were involved either. I don't really get myself tangled with this online stuff but it's just something I noticed
I keep forgetting tarts exists until the brand trip happens 😂😂
It's the fact that they think this lil brand trip is gonna make people wanna buy their stuff 😭
This is why im basic and stick to AB, LM, BB, Nyx, Milani, Mac and Juvias Place. They dont exalt influencers and the products are amazing
tarte trips never make want to buy tarte products even since alisha marie days, but i do enjoy seeing some of my favorite creators enjoy the trips
What confuses me is the fact that some of the influencers have never used a tarte product in their videos. They only use it occasionally on the trip and it’s in passing.
"1 lucky person & their guest"... I'm curious, does anyone know if this offer was made BEFORE or AFTER Tana & Brooke had to cancel their attendance for the trip? Super curious :-p
Did they show who they took?
@@IllaLuna17 Can't remember anymore (this was a month ago) sorry ❤️
Conspiracy theory
Tarte was being paid to promote the island.
A brand deal within a brand deal…
Nah if my business is doing so well, I'm taking my employees and those customers who spent the most money on my product that year. I already do that, sending extra gifts for free to 10 people who spent the most money per year 🎉
I hope their employees are getting fairly compensated
Tarte - let’s bring one person of every race and background so we seem nice!!
I feel like people think that tarte is the only one to ever do brand trips? Like I know it stopped during covid so most people didn’t see that for a few years but before that there were just as crazy brand trips imo.
I think the problem is the average person is having to choose between food and bills right now, and trips like these is a huge middle finger in their face. Like a "look at what youll never get to do, buy our products anyways". Theres already a difference in how the average person got treated vs the influencers and if thats how they feel towards their client base, then it makes sense people arent going to receive it well.
How much do you think they spent on marketing before social media? Pages in magazines or tv commercial! This is how the products sell now. Social media influencers!
she really said « in this economy » 😂💀
Its funny coz I think of how I use to work in tourism here in NZ. We use to get tourist activities free so we knew the product and excitedly promote it. I got flown to the south Island and got an all expenses paid two week bus tour with awesome activities every day from bungy jumps to cruises, bar tabs to restaurant dinners. I kinda see this as the equivalent to my reach but there wasn't social media to the scale it is now. Also flown to Auckland to watch the ABs v England in a corporate box as a thank you when I worked in a bar from the brewery. Same sort of thing just different scale.
This sort of thing has been going on for years its just now social media has changed the game.
I think my biggest issue with brand trip content is that it’s just boring af to me. Most of the chosen influencers are all pretty similar & have the same vibe. I wanna see the Welsh twins on one of these things!
💯💯💯💯 yes I’d love the Welsh twins
I feel like no matter what Tarte does somebody will find something to complain about. I do like how Spilly is open minded and sees all sides tho.
These trips making every smaller influence want to push Tarte products so they can go on the next trip.
Marking wise, this is genius. People will forget the “boycott” in a week.
Wait… What job are they taking time off for??? 5:53 for a vast majority of them this is their job
thats what made me giggle
Maybe some of this budget could go to the employees making the products
I work in marketing and this trip is always so fascinating to me. They could just hire the same influencers to hand deliver donations to schools or different charities and spend half the money and it look better and still be a tax write off
How is it possible that I dont know any of these people 😮
Marketing is marketing. If you don’t want to buy from tarte because of their marketing budget then don’t buy from any company that’s had a Super Bowl commercial. The costs are absurdly similar. These trips are MARKETING. not philanthropy.
I love seeing these trips. They look so fun.
I LOVE your take on this, very well developed opinions always. Open minded and always analyzing situations from different perspectives which is hard to find. Just genuinely appreciate it :)
The people who are loving it: more “influencers”😂 LAUGHABLE
😱 the more I see in this video!!! The girl in the glasses lol "it's a no for me dog" 😂😂😂😂
Whats crazy is, these influencers NEVER post Tarte products unless they are being paid or unless they are already on the trip and have to post their products 😂🤭
How people hating on an influencer trip especially when you aren’t an influencer.. very weird
People purchase from a brand. This isn't rocket science. They don't want to support a brand that does crap like this.
I feel the same way. It's giving jealous. Other companies have trips like this just don't post it everywhere.
Right it’s giving jealous.
Literally doesn’t bother me. Let them live their best lives. Cheers to that. If it was me in their shoes I’d be stoked AF!
I'm glad they sent that girls sister, that's awesome 🙏
I stoped buying from them in 2018 cause of that trip and was like this is crazy. I’m out.
People who think it’s either paying for a brand trip or paying employees more 😭 I fear you are gravely misunderstanding how our capitalistic system works. Would be curious to know if ppl getting upset know how much employees at the brands they purchase from get paid. Bless their hearts.
throwing a perfectly good product away bc of a brand trip is way more tone deaf than the actual trip imo
This brand is just spoiling already spoiled people. Not everyone can do what they do. It’s out of touch.
I love the tarte maracuja lip gloss balm things
It’s especially ridiculous considering the employees these brands hire to sell their products in the actual stores. Not once did I ever hear a customer ask for products because of x influencer (at least the brand I worked for). Our hours depended on how many $$ worth of products we sold. What did we get for hitting one or the highest sales goals? A dinner, yet we’d see the brand send influencers on these lavish trips.
Im glad the only reason i have tarte is because of boxycharm. 😂
Ever since Morgan Adams shared her awful experience on a brand trip, bullying, body shaming, food shaming, etc, I will never think these trips are good and I’ll never not think about who is getting put down and bullied on them
I don’t watch beauty channels anymore, haven’t for years. It makes me absolutely ill to see a company spend so frivolously on a trip. There’s so much going on in this world and a cosmetics company is choosing to spend wasteful money on something that is clearly and solely to benefit their bottom line.
This trip wasn’t designed to be life changing for these influencers who can afford their own vacations. This trip wasn’t a “thank you” for loyal customers. This was self serving for the brand.
I’d have much preferred to see then put money toward homeless camps or dog shelters where people who care for others upload videos on how much a donation has impacted the real world around us. I’m over the “influencer” bs.
I think people pretend they would like “normal” people to go, but the reality is those same people are always going to have something negative to say regardless.
I feel like I can’t trust influencers that praise Tarte products going forward. How do we know if they really love the products, or if they just want to get selected for the trip again and/or if they feel like they have to give good reviews because of the trip.
rich people r wildin
They better start selling the P.R 😂 before it's duplicated. I would much rather support tart if they supported those whom need help. Such as a woman's shelter or an animal shelter. A 👏🏻 NON 👏🏻 PROFIT!!!!
There are actual makeup influencers and artists that have probably been in the game longer than many of those in the video. That’s who needs to be there.
The rich get richer.
I’ll never understand why these companies dont treat their actual customers or employees on trips like this. Why pay for someone who can afford to go and you pay to review instead of the people who work hard to be able to treat themselves to your products?
Aren't these trip not for the influencers? Like a way that they say thank you to all them for their support. I get its also publicity. But why would they get a bad rep if they are just treating the people that help them get there?
Started using Tarte when I was a teen and I’ve just stayed a loyal customer for some damn reason this whole time?? Despite this being a topic every year that Tarte does an influencer trip. It’s so annoying. I’ve replaced pretty much all my makeup now, my 4500+ points have been sitting for years, and I’ve even turned my nose to free full sized mascara. This whole trip thing is such a bad taste. Show your gratitude to the people actually putting money in your pockets instead.
1:39 it’s always gonna be a win for them since it’s a tax right off. The more $ spent on the vacay, the more they get to right it off as an expense 🤷🏽♀️
Mad they take a private jet. Then mad when someone isn't aboard that private jet.
