@@ashtons8626I’m so glad someone else agrees with me on this. I don’t have enough money to keep buying products over and over so to put it on the back of my hand(unless I’m swatching)bothers me a little. I just put a very very tiny dot and build up if I need too. Plus I prefer a bold look any 🤷♀️😅

@@offplanet740my guess is that juvia's place and rare beauty both are wayy too pigmented for them? for me personally, it's too bright on my skin even though i'm a brown girly, elf cosmetics are just natural enough so it looks like "flushed from within" yknow.

@@ST4RG1R7GF. additionally, Im pretty sure juvias place has posted something ((maybe a few times, not 100% sure but definitely at least once)) that was racist towards Asians ((a slur)), don't have great customer service ((go back and forth with customers, products may arrive damaged with little to no help, etc)), I believe there may be a few vids out there as well from creators who feel that juvias place does not fully support or standby the morals//ethics they say they do

Same here!! I got the Juvia's Place blushes and was shocked at how big they are. It would be cool if modern packaging to into account how much of a product people actually use on the face so that we're not stuck with items we'll never make a dent in.
@milkpastasoup89604 ай бұрын
@@kellygreengables3936 unfortunately we have seen how that goes when companies actually shrink a product. we saw this with milk. due to popularity and high demand, it allowed them to keep the original price per item (thus increasing the price per gram) while selling less product. If anything they actually increased the price straight up (per item) thus just making it unnecessarily expensive for the same original formula at a smaller size. Due to the nature of capitalism being built on greed and profit, if we actually demanded for this trend to be followed by other companies make-up will become too expensive and inaccessible. and demand for fakes and products with dubious ingredients will increase. which is dangerous.
