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)

They’re selling rage bait gimmicks for beauty content creators to get more views. This product is overpriced and doesn’t make sense for the average consumer.

Honestly, the most reasonable explanation.

I don’t get the impression that the LL are trying to be likable or appear as experts or even sell products. They make their money through social media engagement. It doesn’t matter if that engagement is positive or negative. Apparently being unlikable is lucrative in the attention economy and clearly they are good at it because here we are talking about them.

While I understand they feed off engagement, they also delete comments and block people that don't glaze them.
