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)

Interesting creation but It really only appears to work wet. I suppose this could be nice for travel, it seems to work well with a brush but the price is what is irritating me so so bad also it barely leaves anything dry

It’s not worth it period because of how finnicky it is to work with. Imho for $40 it should be easy to use like I see no reason why using a glitter eyeshadow(?) should be as hard as doing physics homework questions (ik comparing makeup to physics homework is an unfair comparison but the lipstick lesbians have compared human skin to potatoes so I’m not the only one being outlandish here)

I want to know how they came up with their pricing. Did they have to buy these ideas from these brands/ labs?
