i know i'm late to this but it's because i have SO many thoughts on the new flexi powder from @leakedlabs by @The Lipstick Lesbians !
in terms of the packaging i definitely see the faults - i don't love that you have to lay them on a pan / flat surface to apply them, and then once they're wet you have to wait for them to dry before stacking them back in the tin. certainly not ideal!
in terms of the product, i find it really exciting! i personally found 5 ways to use it, but realistically you're looking at closer to 7-10. it was the first product in a while that has forced me to actually think about how i would use it versus being told how to, which i personally enjoyed!
obviously the pricing was controversial, and understandably so for 2g of product. i think about it like dehydrated makeup (when you add water you sort of "create" more product), so you could argue there's more than 2g in here, but I'm not going to go mad scientist on you guys and try to measure that out lol
at the end of the day, every paying customer is entitled to their opinion, good or bad. what you are NOT entitled to is personally attacking the founders of a company. i've noticed this trend in the beauty community where people tend to latch onto what is going "viral", even if that means being mean for no reason, so the response to this really disappointed me.
we are better than this!! if you don't like it, don't buy it or respectfully give your opinion and leave it at that 🤍
let me know your thoughts!

When I first tried the Leaked Labs Flexi Powder, I was genuinely curious about how flexible pigment could fit into my makeup routine. The concept of a dehydrated product that you activate with water intrigued me, and I found it refreshing to explore multiple application methods rather than relying on conventional usage instructions. One thing I noticed is that while the packaging isn’t perfect—having to lay the powder flat and wait for it to dry before storing can be a bit inconvenient—the product’s versatility makes up for it. Using different tools like fluffy brushes for diffuse color and denser brushes for pigment intensity allowed me to customize my look, from subtle daytime glam to more dramatic evening eyes. What’s more, it’s not just limited to eyeshadow—you can try it as a cheek highlight or even on your lips for a unique chrome effect. Pricing discussions are unavoidable, especially at $34 for 2g, which sounds steep at first. However, thinking of it as dehydrated makeup that expands when mixed with water helps justify some of the cost. Essentially, you’re ‘creating’ more product from less raw material, which is an innovative approach in beauty economics. The community reaction surprised me. I’ve seen both passionate support and overly negative comments that sometimes crossed the line into personal attacks on the founders. It reminded me that in any trend, especially viral ones on social media, respectful dialogue is key. Everyone has a right to their opinions, but kindness should always come first. Overall, the Flexi Powder inspired me to experiment and think creatively about makeup, which is quite rare in a market filled with ready-made routines. Whether you’re a beauty enthusiast looking for fresh ideas or just curious about flexible pigments, this product offers a unique experience worth trying—just be prepared for some quirks in packaging and a higher price point. I'd recommend giving this powder a chance, especially if you enjoy DIY-style beauty innovations and don’t mind exploring your creativity with your makeup tools.
