Creator lists viral makeup she won't rebuyfrom @wangjenniferr

[01]

Overview

The creator presents a list of six popular or "viral" beauty products, holding each one up to the camera and explaining why she will not be repurchasing it. She provides specific reasons for each item, including product longevity, preferring alternatives like brushes over a beauty blender, disliking a product's scent, poor performance for her oily skin type, finding cheaper dupes, and the general desire to try new products on the market.
