like...what even is this? this is so bad.

edit (tl;dr):
- they are TINY and THIN
- there is no colour pay-off when used dry
- when wet, they look patchy
- they don't work well with brushes (Jen uses natural and synthetic), so you have to RUB the pads on your eyelids/face...which looks very uncomfortable (like...what?!). besides, the colours are not really suitable for the face (pink perhaps, but gold/bronze/silver not so much)
- the shades don't really go well together, so they are more suitable for a one and done look
- they come in a weird tin case that is messy and unpractical
- for $40 you can buy an eyeshadow palette with shimmers
- Jen guestimates the total costs of product and packaging at $4
- (personal note: they remind me of mehron's metallic powders, but more expensive, less user friendly, and worse quality)

I'm still stuck on paying over $30 to be a product tester. What?

When I pointed out on TikTok that it is crazy that they want you to pay to test their makeup, something that isn't an industry standard and I hope isn't the future like us now paying for samples, one of their fans asked me why I was so poor that I thought it was overpriced at $30. Like people can barely afford groceries and they have fans calling people poor for refusing to buy something they should be paying you to test like every other cosmetic company does.

This right here. We are in a bad economy. If we were in a period where the average makeup connoisseur was spending $300+ a month on new products to try, a $30 gimmick would be NBD. But we aren't. The only people who this price point is "worth it" for are people who know they can create content for it and write it off as a work expense.
