REVIEW: LA GIRL: Matte Finish Pigment Gloss

These lipsticks has been a rave in the beauty community lately, because of its affordable price that cause  P349 each. They have wide selection of colors and of course it is available everywhere from online shopping and to all local department stores.
                                           

This LA Girl Matte Finish Pigment Gloss has 16 selection of colors from nude to  dark bold colors. It became a sensation to all beauties  because of its intense color and of course its texture that  is so freak'n matte,that when ever you eat or drink, this lipstick will not wear off and will last you all day long, without retouching (OMG!!! how amaze balls is that LOL!!!!:D)

Although the pigmentation is great, and last you the whole day, for me this lipstick still a hit and miss.

These lipsticks has a doe foot applicator that is very flat and stiff, but it can get a lot of products from the tube, which is very good because no need to keep going back and forth inside the tube to get more productz. It has a very simple yet jumbo packaging. :D

                                                        
I just bought 2 shades of this lipsticks the first shade is "TULLE" it has this very intense neon pink color ( I'm all about pink lippies) but this shade is not my kind of pink lipstick.

  • This has a blue undertone which makes the teeth yellowish.
  • You need to have hydrated lips before applying so that you can get the best result
  • I really struggle when applying this shade because it dries so fast, that's why you need to apply it quickly.
  • In applying this if possible stretch out your lips and use one direction only. Do not do the wiper motion so that you can get a smooth finish. Do not get too excited in closing your lips, WAIT FOR THE PRODUCT TO DRY.
  • Texture is liquidy a little bit tacky on the lips, it does not give me a smooth application it makes my lips so caky which is not pretty to look at. 
  • This shade is not good to overlay,  second coat will intensify more the color but it will leave you ugly patches of color.
  • The color from the picture is not the same on the real thing. In picture it has a mauve kind of pink but in person it is an Oh!my gosh NEON PIIIINNNKKK.
  • .lastly for me this shade is not good for everyday use. 
  • despite to all my negative comments with this shade. One good thing about this lipstick is that, it's good to overlay with other shade of lipsticks, specially the darker shades. 

The second shade is "TIMELESS" this shade is very popular because it's a wearable shade which is good for on the go or everyday lipstick.

  • This lipstick has a cool undertone
  • It is much easier to apply than the TULLE
  • Pigmentation is also superb
  • It has also a liquidy texture and dries fast, but for this shade I don't need to worry that match because it's manageable. Even thou it dries you can still go ahead and re apply/ overlay more colors on your lips without looking caky or gross on the lips. 
  • This has a smoother texture,it's not tacky unlike the TULLE that has sticky finish 
What Does It Feels Like?

This lipstick feels like you are wearing tons of lipstick. Yes girl! I'm not kidding, this lipstick is not lightweight, seems like you painted your lips an acrylic paint (but those kind of HIGH END acrylic paints not those cheap ones LOL!!!:D) 

Eating and Drinking (Longevity)

Here comes the real test for these lipsticks. Although  they are super matte but when it comes to eating and drinking these lipsticks melts into your lips, specially on the inner part . They don't have that superb longevity of a Liquid Matte Lipstick, When this lipsticks melt it feels a little bit tacky and yucky which is not comfortable.

Is it worth the hype?

For me YES specially when you wan't a WOW! KABAM! Matte Lipstick in your Face with a superb pigmentation, this lipstick is worth the hype, besides THIS is much cheaper than the other brands. Plus it contains 0.17oz or 5g amount of product. The secret of this lipstick when it becomes tacky and gross JUST WIPE IT OFF GIRL and RE APPLY THE LIPSTICK!  

At the end of the day this lipstick is very hard to take off, you need a good makeup remover to wipe off all the pigments. But the good thing in here despite of its matte texture this lipstick is not drying at all.

That's all beauties for my review, if you want to see what it looks like on the lips PLS watch my Youtube channel for my SWATCHES and DEMO for these lipsticks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ngdgsCvq54
