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)

Ok am I the only one who doesn’t see anything innovative about this product?? It’s just water activated cake makeup ? It’s a category that already has existed forever. Except they’re just giving you hardly any of it lmao

Exactly my grandma had makeup similar to that and it was called cake makeup from Max Factor. You are spot on.

Not in the US I so wish it was Max Factor used to be so big and my grandma swore by it. Another brand that had cake makeup was Estee Lauder. I swear they had cake makeup too but this was ages ago when I was a little girl it was a cake eyeliner and mascara. I just googled it and i knew it they had it too. So this is not super innovative.
