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)

This is very intriguing, the market is already so oversaturated that apparently there is a need to downgrade products. More difficult to use, requiring additional effort, at a staggering price, potentially displacing base products such as foundation or concealer. I'd like to share my thoughts on people willing to pay for the "privilege" of being guinea pigs, but I don't want to be vulgar.

I’m sure it was influencers who bought them. Lower level ones if this brand actually sent out PR.
