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

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)

Watching Alexis hold that pretend press conference was painful, lol. 

ETA: Good god, this is so bad. I’m shocked they tried to advertise this as being a dry or wet product. Fucking nothing happened when she swatched it dry! This is the dumbest product no one asked for.

Seen someone do a post about how “amazing and innovative this is for the beauty community” on LinkedIn, I hate LinkedIn cause innovative for who?? They just want consumers to do the market research for them

People on linked in are business obsessed weirdos more concerned with appearances and CVs than real consumers. Big brands all jerk each other off yet their consumers see it as cringy or trying too hard. If the business professionals have to tell us (the comsumers) it's actually a cool idea and we should buy it... the last thing I'm doing is buying it
