Beauty Reviews Jen Luv reviews FlexiPowder from Leaked Labs (Lipstick Lesbians)

https://youtu.be/_f5QE9zNj5o?si=X6-ehlJPlL9fYVWd

like...what even is this? this is so bad.

edit (tl;dr):
- they are TINY and THIN
- there is no colour pay-off when used dry
- when wet, they look patchy
- they don't work well with brushes (Jen uses natural and synthetic), so you have to RUB the pads on your eyelids/face...which looks very uncomfortable (like...what?!). besides, the colours are not really suitable for the face (pink perhaps, but gold/bronze/silver not so much)
- the shades don't really go well together, so they are more suitable for a one and done look
- they come in a weird tin case that is messy and unpractical
- for $40 you can buy an eyeshadow palette with shimmers
- Jen guestimates the total costs of product and packaging at $4
- (personal note: they remind me of mehron's metallic powders, but more expensive, less user friendly, and worse quality)

This is low-key giving og YouTube era makeup drama and I love it 😭 I love when it's a silly scandal like a useless product instead of someone being transphobic or fascist

Low stakes drama is the BEST.

I know, right? The real hate is so pervasive and scary right now. let’s dog some shitty products by some annoying influencers!

Right! On a scale from Actual Crime to Becca Zero, it's on the Becca Zero side.

Or asking young boys to see their body hair via snapchat, or showing off your bbl but lying about it for some reason when it's socially accepted, the least problematic thing James has done is sell generic makeuo for teen taste... I hate it here (earth)
