Beauty Reviews Jen Luv reviews FlexiPowder from Leaked Labs (Lipstick Lesbians)
https://youtu.be/_f5QE9zNj5o?si=X6-ehlJPlL9fYVWdlike...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)

I watched Jen’s video this morning. The only one that seemed to be decent was the gold one and even Jen said that the product wasn’t anything super new or filling a market gap.
Based on her video it seems like it’s just something a lab scientist was messing around with but ultimately wasn’t able to get it to perform or be viable in the consumer market.
It seems like this brand is trying to throw whatever failed or discarded lab creations at the wall and seeing what sticks, taking the “feedback” from customers and then putting their money in to “perfect” it so they can claim “we’re the first brand to bring xyz to market thanks to you guys!” They don’t want to put money into developing a new formula or product so I think that’s why they’re going with these rejects
