TikTok Beauty Influencer Sparks Debate Over 'Awful' Advertising

A recent TikTok video by beauty influencer Dina (@dinameetsworld) sparked a discussion about online product promotion. Dina, based in the US, promotes her "Anti Crusty Dusty" bundle, a collection of beauty products including Moroccan black soap and rosewater. One commenter, Lauren Jyoti, criticized the video's advertising style as "awful." In response, Dina defended her product, highlighting the individual benefits of each ingredient and the overall value proposition. "Girl, they don't even have to buy from me if they can buy these ingredients anywhere for cheap," Dina stated in her video, emphasizing the accessibility of the individual components. The video, uploaded on June 9th, 2025, has already gained significant traction, demonstrating the ongoing debate around effective and ethical advertising on social media platforms.
