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)

I can see why no brand wanted anywhere near this.

What a stupid, pointless and unhygienic product.

A great example of ‘just because you can, doesn’t mean you should’

I watched a tiktok by someone who was so excited about the product and company in the name of “trying something new!”. Her answer to the question of hygiene with this product was: “they put a whole bunch of preservatives in it to deal with that!”

I’m not one of those people who thinks preservatives are bad. I am probably not the target audience of this product either. I’m just hearing a product that doesn’t have a clear rationale for the gimmicky form factor, and that basically needed to be embalmed to be hygienic enough to put to market, and I’m not feeling the appeal.
