Sparing vs generous product usage skitfrom @gisou
[01]
Overview
The creator demonstrates a relatable comedic contrast by first showing themselves carefully and sparingly using their own expensive beauty products with tiny spatulas and droppers. Halfway through, the text overlay changes, and the creator is shown aggressively squeezing out massive, wasteful amounts of the exact same products when using their sister's stash.
