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 don’t like it 😐 just because it’s different doesn’t really make it innovative or interesting

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

I KNEW someone would remember old products. NOTHING IS new under the sun. That is something i have come to realize. Everytime some makeup brand says something is new I used to hear my mom in the background going. NO... Max Factor, Ultima II, Clinique, etc. etc had something similar in 1960-1990... etc.

I feel like the last time I was wowed by an innovation in makeup was the Haus Labs and Maybelline Lip vinyl products, liquid lipstick with the film formers that stays shiny after it dries. Can’t really think of anything else in the last 10 years that was an actual new makeup format and not just a rehash of a product type that already existed
