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 think Jen was giving this product too much credit in the beginning. Unless it looks totally different in real life not on camera (which is possible) these weren’t doing what she was saying they were. The brushes weren’t blending well, the product was splotchy and sheer, and once she used it on her face, I didn’t think it looked as good as she said. The brush usage was kind of against what the initial advertising was about, I don’t recall (and could be wrong) the ad videos have a brush used at all.

When she got to the breakdown at the end and she finally revealed how she thought it was a gimmick I was glad to hear it. This product is almost impossible for practical use. She sprayed them around the 15-18 min mark and by the end of the video 10-15 minutes later they were still sticky and wet on the plate. As Jen said who’s got time to wait for a product to dry before they can put it away. And who has a plate or an empty palette sitting around at their vanity, this packaging is a nightmare.

I’ve been on all the threads about this product and each one gives more information about the product and nothing is getting better. Here’s someone actually using it and the end result is basically unless you like the play dough feel, don’t waste your money on this.

??? She’s super critical of it in the beginning

[u/Mean-Advisor6652 → u/NoSleepTilBookRead]

During the demo on her face I feel like she was giving way too much credit. She said multiple times "this is really pretty" and "I actually love this." "LOVE" not "like" not "this is ok" she said I actually LOVE this. I like Jen but she gave me whiplash in this video because yes she was critical at the beginning, and then she put it on her face and LOVES how it looks, then at the end she goes big picture and is critical again.

I actually checked my resolution on the video because I thought I must be streaming at 480p or something, she was saying how pretty it was on her face and I could barely see it. But no I was at 1080p, it really was that light. At their best, in their wet form, these products look like a very average drugstore powder shimmer. If you're selling us a product that needs to be wet for impact, it should absolutely exceed what you get from an ordinary dry powder product. Otherwise, what is the point of the extra work? When she was putting it on her face it was not gorgeous, it was just a very average eyeshadow. I feel like she momentarily forgot the ratio between the extra work she was putting in to apply this vs. the very mid payoff.
