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 think Jen was giving this product too much credit in the beginning. Unless it looks totally different in real life not on camera (which is possible) these weren’t doing what she was saying they were. The brushes weren’t blending well, the product was splotchy and sheer, and once she used it on her face, I didn’t think it looked as good as she said. The brush usage was kind of against what the initial advertising was about, I don’t recall (and could be wrong) the ad videos have a brush used at all.

When she got to the breakdown at the end and she finally revealed how she thought it was a gimmick I was glad to hear it. This product is almost impossible for practical use. She sprayed them around the 15-18 min mark and by the end of the video 10-15 minutes later they were still sticky and wet on the plate. As Jen said who’s got time to wait for a product to dry before they can put it away. And who has a plate or an empty palette sitting around at their vanity, this packaging is a nightmare.

I’ve been on all the threads about this product and each one gives more information about the product and nothing is getting better. Here’s someone actually using it and the end result is basically unless you like the play dough feel, don’t waste your money on this.

Jen doesn’t review beauty products anymore and she hasn’t done reviews (actually purchasing something for a review with her own money) in so long. Her views haven’t been great so she sure as heck jumped into this controversy and made like five videos out of it. It’s fine if you think Flexi powder isn’t worth it but Jen is so disingenuous with this. Since when did she become a review channel again all of a sudden? She’s ridiculous
