whats the point of those homemade lipglosses people shill on tiktok and youtube shorts?

i keep seeing these lipgloss makers post videos about their handmade lipglosses (which they sell at the same price as luxury brands) and their entire process is literally mixing premade lipgloss base they get in a 300 pound bucket with premade glitter and pigment?

their content also revolves around engagement bait (my manufacturer sent me the wrong tube!) their comments never mention just how lazy it is and they always sell out too. has anyone ever even bought these and is it really worth it? am i the only one who thinks its just an elaborate scam?

a genshin soundtrack from sumeru

afaik the cover had faruzan on it. seemed like official art for a summer event or something. unsure if it was for an event or what but it was funky like faruzan and doris osts but it wasnt any of their songs. it wasnt a character song
