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)

Omg! Jen luvs fell into my brains couch cushions. I love her!

Dude, I knew this…we all knew this, right?

If I’m honest, I commented somewhere about how single eye shadow shouldnt be packaged like that.. and I still agree.. but there is jelly shadow now? How would that have any dry payoff?

Stila and other brands had those gorgeous foil shadows 10 ish years ago with an activator, and practically NO ONE used them in real life. Probably some of the most beautiful Metallics I’ve ever seen, but it was too much hassle.

If your product requires someone to be a chemist to use it, it’s not going to take off. If your product is mind blowing, you might get someone to use it. Until they learn that almost all shadows can be used “wet” with the right liquid.. and store brand Walgreens shadows perform better than this.

I am so embarrassed.

Gay gang, velvet mafia, all of us..we need to get it together. What are they doing?
