NEW L.A.Colors $1 matte pout lipgloss (Makeup talk)


Hey ya'll so recently a well known cosmetic company called L.A. COLORS cosmetics (everything they sell is Super cheap btw check them out!) came out with their very own line of $1 matte lipgloss!! They currently have 22 shades that range in matte and shiny so if matte is'nt your thing you can still give these a try. Now I know what you may be thinking "how good can one dollar lipsticks really be?" And I must admit it's not a top quality formula but not everyone can afford or wants to shell out for lipsticks/lipgloss and I think with the right application ( I recommend pairing with a lip liner) they're an amazing alternative!!

Colors listed from Left to Right : Enitcing,XOXO,Scrumptious and Kiss&Tell.

As you can see the "lipgloss"comes in these cute short tubes and the applicator is a super short wand with a longer than usual doe foot for easy application. I bought three from a webstie called ShopMissA.com (a really cool company that sells everything for literally $1 so once again check them out if you have'nt already!) and I got the last one from my local beauty supply store. They also sell them at your local Family dollar store and I found out L.A.Colors Cosmetics recently starting selling through Target so get on it babes!!

Above I swatched all four colors (I use mac studio pro longwear foundation in NC50 for reference) just to give some perspective for my darker skin tone babes. As you can see Eniticing is the most opaque of the four but all in all they have pretty good coverage. They dry SUPER matte and will not budge without a proper lip stain remover. If I had to compare them to another formula I would say they're the most consistent with colourpops formula but more drying. They oxidize A LOT so be cautious when layering because the color WILL get darker and patchy if you're not careful!

Im really satisfied with these $1 gems the pigmentation is amazing and the staying power is literally out of this world lol. So if your browsing around at your local dollar store and happen to come across these give them a try!! I really think they might suprise you. Till next time babes
