I Bought The First 5 Things TikTok Ads Recommended To Me

HELLO FRIENDS!! Today, I return to the land of internet hauls and social media targeted recommendations - with a deep dive into the sponsored posts that appear on your TikTok "For You Page"! Previously, I have bought things recommended to me via targeted ads on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat - so when I finally relented and downloaded TikTok a few months ago -- I figured, we probably had to do a TikTok ad haul as well. So I spent a day scrolling on TikTok until I found 5 different targeted ads, purchased what they were advertising, and then put them to the test to try and figure out why TikTok might think I would like them, and whether or not they were any good. Which item was your favorite?? What ads do you get on TikTok?
Thanks to Kayley Melissa for helping me curl my hair!

the long awaited return of safiya's new intro song 🕺🏻
-
can we just agree that the intro song is actually the best thing the internet has made her buy.
-
17:54 I think that’s the only time I’ve ever heard Safiya call Tyler “baby” and even though it was while he was cleaning his ears, I think it was one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever seen on the internet because it’s a super unscripted, real moment between them with her calling him pet names and trying to cover his eyes
-
Somehow, I feel the “ripped off” hair curler is the same machine as the “original” hair curler, but that company stamps their logo/get a better box to sell it at a higher price. It's a kind of common practice around, and both machines look so suspiciously similar.

new patreon tier: my uncensored ear footage 😳
-
TikTok is also full of small businesses. It’d be cool to see you order the first five small business products! So anything posted by a created w/o being sponsored. I think the diff b/w the ads and non ads is gonna be crazy
-
I know I'm late to the party, but I can't believe how expensive that tea was! Here in SE Asia, it's everywhere. The most popular way to make it is iced with sweet milk... like a yummy galaxy latte :D
-
Me: excitedly waiting for Tyler's earwax getting cleaned Saf: censors it Am I disgusting? Lol
-
“I’m a millennial, and we are suckers for stupid Harry Potter shit.” Truer words have never been spoken.
-
I have a full four-pack of the Pizza Hut red cups...unironically. I would let you borrow them in exchange for the keys to Flavortown from your appearance on our stream last week.
-
Well, to be fair to the hair curler, it's not so much of a knock off, rather they're all the exact same and companies can pay to put their logo on it. It's the same as those Laser Hair Removers like Lux skin, Hey Silkly Skin, and other brands. It's the same device, but companies can pay to customize it.
-
Every Pizza Hut employee should get a free set of tastewear. Like all the accessories and stuff as their new uniform
-
Something about Safiya going "Oh no, is this from Wish?" after reading a long title that's just full of keyword tags, is just satisfying.
-
If Safiya is bringing this series back, then I think that she should do a video on Twitter ads.
-
I wish Safiya would do something close to this again but specifically for small businesses ads. most of these are bigger company. especially with the pandemic small bussinesses need more love then ever. (Also more likely to find Bat themed items she would actually want to keep after)
-
Butterfly pea flowers are great for making simple syrup with and then you can use it in anything from magical lemonade instead of sugar to fancy mocktails to alcoholic beverages. Just add a citrus and it’ll change colours. You can also do it with purple cabbage if anyone wants a cheap duper stead of buying the leaves😉
-
"This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!" "Uncle, that's what all tea is."
-
Love that Tyler said the inside of Safs ear is cute... Then she said his ears made her want to throw up. 😆
-
The Safiya/Tyler & Mat/Steph friendship is everything to me. Like the most powerful theatre kid to theatre kid communication over Youtube
