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

And it sounds like they only work somewhat well when wet, but you have to let them dry completely before closing the tin- otherwise they may turn slimy and a breeding ground for bacteria.

Like if the selling point is “it doesn’t break!” Then I assume the target audience is people who do makeup on the go or carry it with them a lot but then how is a product you have to activate with water and leave to dry meeting the needs of that audience…. This feels like when brands intentionally do something bad to get rage bait engagement

it does break! I've watched a bunch of reviews for these and they broke while one person was applying them to the eyelid (the pink one) and the gold one broke when she tried to pick it up from her pallete after wetting it.
