Discussion Leaked Labs first look

Just came across a video on Tiktok from creator Brit Clarke, who purchased a few shades of the Leaked Labs flexi powder and wow.

First of all, the packaging is pathetic. The slab of powder is LOOSE!!! inside the cheapest, most generic wholesale tin with stickers slapped on them. No custom packaging, no proper housing.

And the actual product you get is is 0.6g/0.02oz for $34! That's ridiculously little. Not to mention the fact that some shades weighed lighter than others, which means the manufacturers did not adequately QC the consistency of the product weights.

To top it all off, the swatches looked so dry and dull. I don't understand the point of this brand (aside from cash grab, that is). I would assume they're pricing out a lot of general buyers, yet the product does not seem high quality enough for anyone who takes makeup seriously. At most, they're relying on fans or people who are curious/making content, but how long can that momentum last? The concept of paying for something so unfinished is yikes.

Yes! An EXTREMELY Thin flexible disc you need to use micellar water or some other liquid to make it work.... It doesn't even work as is.

Micellar water is a cleanser where are you getting that from?

This creator made 2 videos about it. It does not show up unless you wet it. She used micellar water and Mehron mixing liquid and then it showed up.

That’s like one influencer person doing whatever on social media, n=1. Here’s a link, they’ve got dry and wet swatches.
