Trying Products I've TURNED DOWN Sponsorships For

**Discounts and Free Places**

As a product reviewer and YouTube video maker, I'm always on the lookout for discounts and free places to try out new products. One email that caught my eye was from a seller who offered 20% off their product, which is similar to The Beauty Blender makeup sponge. The original price of The Beauty Blender is $20, but this brand offers six for $9.99. I had the opportunity to test both sponges and found that I prefer the Paw Paw sponge because it's so much softer that I could use it without having to dampen it first.

This little extra step was just one of those annoying things in my daily routine, but with the Paw Paw sponge, I can skip it altogether. The softness of this sponge is actually twice as soft as the others, which makes it work amazing dry or wet. With its unique texture and performance, I highly recommend the Paw Pap sponge for anyone looking to upgrade their makeup game.

**Sex Toy Brand Partnership**

Another email that caught my attention was from a leading manufacturer of innovative premium sex toys. The brand, which includes products like the Womanizer and We Vibe, is looking for content creators who can help showcase their products in a creative and organic way. As someone who values authenticity and transparency in my reviews, I'm interested in exploring this opportunity further.

The brand's products are known for their high-quality materials and innovative designs, which align with my own values as a reviewer. I'd love to learn more about how they can work together to create engaging content that showcases the benefits of these products.

**Laundry Sheets**

A product that caught my eye from an Amazon seller is laundry sheets. The idea behind laundry sheets is to replace traditional liquid or powder detergent, which can be harsh on the environment and our skin. Instead, you simply add a sheet to your wash load and voilà! Clean clothes without the hassle.

I decided to test these laundry sheets with some dirty clothes I've been meaning to wash for ages. I used two different methods: one with Tide liquid detergent and another with the laundry sheets. Both did an equally good job on the washcloth, but when it came to removing a stubborn blueberry stain from a kids' shirt, the Tide outshone the laundry sheets.

Unfortunately, that was the final straw for me, and I have to give the laundry sheets two thumbs down. However, I'd love to hear from any readers who have had good experiences with laundry sheets in the past! Maybe there's another brand out there that can revolutionize the way we do laundry?

**Grinder Test**

One email that really stood out was from a viewer who reached out about a unique grinder they're looking for me to review. The grinder itself is not important; what matters is whether or not I'm willing to give this product a fair shot and share my honest opinion with my audience.

The problem was, the brand didn't provide much information about the grinder, which made it hard for me to decide if I wanted to review it. However, after some thought and discussion with myself, I realized that I should always put my values and responsibility as a reviewer first. As someone who trusts their audience implicitly, I couldn't compromise on that.

Instead of reviewing this product without sufficient information, I decided not to pursue the opportunity. My apologies for any disappointment this may cause, but I believe it's essential to maintain integrity and transparency in my reviews.

**High-End Home Decor**

Last but not least, I'd like to share a video I recently created about high-end designer home decor look for less. The idea is to show that you don't have to break the bank to achieve a luxurious look in your home. With some clever shopping and decorating skills, you can create a beautiful space without sacrificing style or budget.

From statement pieces of furniture to stylish accessories, I'll be sharing my favorite tips and tricks on how to create a high-end look without the hefty price tag. Whether you're looking to update your current decor or redecorate from scratch, this video is perfect for anyone who wants to give their home a sophisticated makeover.

**Conclusion**

As a product reviewer and YouTube video maker, I'm always on the lookout for exciting products and opportunities to collaborate with brands. While some of these experiences have been more successful than others, I remain committed to sharing my honest opinions and helping my audience make informed decisions about the products they use.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome back to my channel so today's video is going to be a juicy one I am sharing with you products that I have turned down sponsorships for going to try

but I'm okay with that if you watch me if you know me I always keep things real here and the Realty if you want to know is I probably turned down more sponsorships than any other influencers if you want to call me that that I know that I've heard of I am very picky about brands that I work with and these are my rules okay it has to be a product that I would buy and will continue to purchase on my own and two most importantly would I recommend this to my mom because my mom actually does watch and buy almost everything that I talk about to this day so I can't let down my mom I can never let

stayed with me struck a chord with me with that said if you are new here don't forget forget to subscribe press the notification Bell without further Ado the first one let me just read you the email okay hi Brittany I was following your channel for a while and I found it super interesting and engaging I'm reaching out to you because I believe we have a product your audience would appreciate a

now five life hacks for pooping like a winner could it go viral actually it might for research purposes for this video I did go on colon Broome website and I purchased the product and you guys this is so expensive that I am offended I'm I'm actually offended I don't care if I poop like an Olympic gold medal winner I'm not paying 60 dollars for a one month supply of a colon supplement but I wanted to know like what is actually in this and you know what it is xylem husk powder which is a natural fiber so you can get a one and a half pound bag of xylem husk on Amazon for 15 bucks I don't really care how good this product is it would never be something I've talked about because the price is just outrageous it has arrived and I thought I should bring in a second test subject for the colon broom have you ever tried a colon grooming supplement I would have to say this is my first time let's try it out fibery and it doesn't have much of a taste it's actually not bad no um we have to and by we I mean Ryan is going to drink this whole thing and we will keep you updated on how it goes how things go and Flow yes I'm a winner the Stanley Cup if you have been on Instagram at any point in the past year you've seen heard of the Mystique of the Stanley Cup and this was one of those products I had seen so much that I just refused to buy do you ever have those things where you're like no I'm not buying into the hype well I finally did for research purposes now Stanley Cup I don't believe they do direct sponsorships where they pay an influencer to talk about their products but they did invite me to be part of their private affiliate Network so I was curious what is the hype about because you guys it's a cup it keeps your cold water cold keeps your hot drinks hot it's cute it's aesthetic it fits in your cup holder and it's dishwasher safe they are forty dollars for this popular style that everyone wants and what I wanted to do is I found a similar cup that's half the price that has the same exact spec same type of insulation dishwasher safe fits in a cup holder but again half the price so I'm going to put them side by side and test them and see if one one is really worth double the price if I feel like it is worth the hype okay some time has passed and I have some thoughts on our water bottle Battle Royale here's what it comes down to I feel like for travel I do prefer this one this one is fully leak proof this one is not however do I feel like it's worth twice the price for me no I prefer having this one with me around the house because it is a little bit more lightweight they both kept my ice water cold for the same amount of time the ice actually melted within 12 hours but the water still is cold now it's been over 24 hours nothing against the Stanley Cup it is fabulous but did it change my life did it rock my world no I'm gonna stay true to my cheap self and go with the one that's half price speaking of water bottles I got this one the other day we are glad to introduce you to our new water bottle donut no doubt donuttle was born to be different throw away your old water bottle and get your hands on do nettle is it a donut is it a water bottle but he knows so I probably get 20 to 30 emails a day from Amazon sellers and to be quite honest with you I don't even know how they get my email address across the board I just do not accept I do not reply and those are the majority of the emails that I get as you guys know I talked about a lot of Amazon products those are all things that I buy myself they are not sent to me I'm not paid to talk about them and that's really important to me I don't want to feel like I'm being biased so for purposes of this video I went through some of the recent emails I've received for random Amazon products that want to be featured on my Channel that I have not replied to and I bought them myself because some of them looked really interesting one of them was a company that makes these makeup remover cloths that are similar to the makeup eraser claw apparently this allows you to remove your makeup using only water these were five for ten dollars versus the makeup eraser cloth which is twenty dollars so I was like okay let's try that one out that looks interesting now I'm back days later after having thoroughly tested both of these makeup removing cloths first and foremost throw away your makeup removing wipes use this instead like these work really well I was shocked by how well they work I still do prefer using a cleanser but for on the go and just for removing your face makeup fast yes budget option does like 90 as good of a drop like it's a very slight difference so for that reason I will continue to use this and I might even just swap out my watch cloths with these instead so I don't know how I'm the last person on Earth to try these but I really really love it and I will continue to use it and I'm going for the budget option Okay this may be my favorite email from the sponsored email archive hello I'm the boss of Amazon Jeff Bezos himself emailed me you guys this is crazy I want to work with you to promote my high quality embroidered American flag and children's safety signs your fans will get big discounts and free places what are the free places like what could that mean are we talking Islands do you get an American flag and a private island never heard back another email that caught my eye was a product they say that they are similar to The Beauty blender makeup sponge which those are also 20 each versus this brand which is quite adorable Papa and there are six for 9.99 I will say just feeling it right out of the bag she's soft this is future Brittany after multiple days of testing both sponges my thoughts on this I actually prefer the Paw Paw sponge because it is so much softer that I could actually use it without having to dampen it first which is just one of those little extra steps that I find a little bit annoying in my daily routine this works just as well dry that soft I would say it's twice as soft as the others so I actually really like that I think it works amazing they are like a fraction of the price so this is an amazing find sorry we can do a facial business together but I am a customer next from the email archives hello Brittany I came across your YouTube channel and I think that you would be a

have once tried a laundry sheet and did not like it I did not find that it worked well and I hated the smell with the passion this is a different brand they're called sheets so the idea here is instead of using liquid detergent or powder detergent for your laundry you put in one of these so better for any environment also easy but do they actually clean so let's try it out okay this is going to be my laundry bottle the sheets laundry strips versus tied and to test them I'm going to wash the same things in their own loads so this is a washcloth with foundation on it I have them both equal and then a kids shirt with a massive blueberry stain so let's see how they Stack Up and several hours later washing in the same conditions here are the results so they both did an equally good job on the washcloth with the foundation stains but there was a pretty significant difference was this blueberry stain you can see the tide did a better job then the strips did a lot of that stain is still there I really really wanted to love these sorry sheets is going to be a no from me but if you've ever used a type of laundry sheet that has worked for you let me know down below because I want to
