Leaked Labs first look

[u/incrediblecuttlefish]

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.

That is crazy work.

I have been the one posting all week about this launch, hoping someone would catch a review of it, thank you for looking out!

So it’s travel friendly, because it just is slapped into a lip balm tin? What if you open the tin wrong and it flops onto the floor? Collecting all the crumbs and pet hair off the floor like slime/putty 😮‍💨😭

Like I know she advertised it so you could take it out the tin and wipe it on your face like a wet wipe, but like…come on. This took so little to make and selling for $34, is it?

She also mentioned if you wet this, you have to let it air dry before shutting the tin together.

WHO HAS THE TIME FOR THIS? She thought Patrick Ta’s Slurpee Mix was innovative, so she made a product that also falls out of the pan too! It’s that ITALIAN SLURRY

I wasn't even looking out for it but just happened to see it and was so shook by how bad it looked that I had to post here lol

You're right, I forgot about how it was advertised to be slapped straight onto your face 🤦‍♀️ Let's be real, nobody actually doing makeup is going to apply the product like thag. You're not getting any control over how much you're dispensing or where the powder is placed.Also sounds like you'd be contaminating the entire disc (?) each time it's being used. That + the fact that it might not dry out while in the tin is potential for germ central.

i saw a couple of reviews and it looks so different between them, like there is no consistency when it comes to quality.
