I had tried out LA girl concealers and i absolutely loved them so when i found these i was so excited to try them out! I love matte lipsticks and i find that this was a great price. Packaging is nice and simple, just a simple tube. Upon opening it you can smell a very chemical like smell, which soon disappeared upon applying to my lips. I got the shade 'backstage' which i then found myself applying multiple times to get that dark opaque color so that was definitely disappointing. It was also VERY sticky and tacky and there was no way i could put my lips together without them getting stuck to each other. I left it on a couple hours and after the first hour, it became super drying on the lips and it would start to flake off. Later that night when it came off i found my lips to be swollen, and drying. Which has never happened to me before. Maybe it will be different for some one else, but as for me this was a terrible product and i'm glad i only bought one. Would not recommend this to anyone!

I actually loved this when I first got it, but only about a year later, it's developed a nasty smell and I won't put it on my lips again because of this.
The GOOD..... quite thin, goes on easily, a double layer stays for hours, and the colour (I have 'backstage' is divine. Relatively kissproof and drink/food proof, and very cheap.
The BAD.... takes a while to set, and obviously with it developing the scent i'm concerned about what's in there.
I won't buy this again - a pity because it's a gorgeous red. It's put me off the brand as well.
Tips: two thin layers with translucent powder between is the best for longevity. Apply, let dry, dust with powder and reapply.
These matte lipsticks are awesome! With a huge variety to choose from there is something for everyone. Great packaging and applicator. The consistency and texture of the liquid lip is smooth and creamy. The applicator makes it easy to apply. These are supper affordable which is a great selling point. They last all day on the lip, i only re applied when i carried on wearing the same colour from the day into a night out. There is no need to apply a lip liner as the colours are very pigmented and last. Can not fault this product.
To be honest this product scares me! Key is precision! It’s a bit like the Eminem song lose it you only get one shot to get it right! Any mess ups and your defining lip line goes straight to the toilet. It’s formula is sticky and you have to remain opened mouthed (while drying) for an awkwardly long time however it has staying power!
Tips: Have a surgically steady hand
I managed to pick up a couple of these in the last vault, both red shades (Frisky & Secret.)
First of all I want to say that I find these are a great alternative to the Lime Crime velveteens (which I also have a couple of), as it seems that the velveteens matte lip-sticks are very well-known and saught-after. Infact, I find these to be pretty much the same in texture, wear, and over-all look (on the lips) as Lime Crime velveteens, (and less than half the price!)
These are definitely more like lipsticks rather than glosses, I guess they're labeled as such as the texture is very smooth and glides on like a gloss. The color is very dense, one coat is completely opaque.
Staying-power is awesome, doesn't flake, strongly resists general wear (fading, leaving prints on cups,) and you actually need to use a quite heavy-duty scrub or makeup remover to get it off your lips when it's time.
The only not so fab thing that I find with these is that they are a little drying, it pays to make sure your lips are well hydrated prior to applying.. Never the less, very happy with these and will be more than happy to pick up a few more shades.
These are the best liquid lipsticks I've tried (thought granted I haven't tried that many) and I love them. They're a bit drying on your lips but it's worth it for how long they stay on. I don't wear lipstick that often because I'm too lazy to constantly reapply but that isn't an issue with these and they stay on all day unless you eat something oily. The colours are nice and bold too. I love them!
I own three of these, Blackcurrant, Frisky and Dreamy. I don't know if I would class this as a gloss though, definitely a matte lipstick in liquid form.
While I love the formula of this product I was underwhelmed by the tacky feeling it left when dried. It dries super quick once applied and staying power is great with little transfer when eating and drinking.
The colours are really pigmented and exactly like the swatches you will find online, true to colour.
The packaging is playful but chunky. The cylinder tube is quite chunky with a a stick applicator attached to the screw top lid.
I recommend a liner with these I find them alot more manageable to able with my lips lined.
For the price I think these are great, it's a shame about the tacky feeling once dried but it's something I can live with!
I purchased 2 of my three from a nz makeup website for $9 a piece, very resonance and really affordable!
Tips: Use a lip liner before applying!
I picked one of the LA girl matte pigment glosses up because I had heard reasonably good things about it and I love me a good matte liquid gloss. Positive points for this product are: It comes in pretty nice packaging which is reasonable quality for the price, it has a good colour range, the colours are pigmented. Negative points are: it's sticky when you apply it and it's not comfortable and then when it dries it is crumbly on the lips from my experience. Overall, I'm not overly impressed and the feel of the lip gloss made it an uncomfortable experience.
Tips: Moisturize your lips before applying this lip gloss
I own one of these in the shade Tulle. The packaging of the gloss is very classy and good quality, considering the low price of the gloss. The gloss comes in a heavy sleek black and transparent tube, with a sponge tip wand that makes application a breeze. Tulle is an incredibly bright neon pink. It was a colour that I didn't think was very wearable at first, but when I wore the shade, I got a lot of compliments, so it must suit me! This goes on as a liquid gloss and dries matte very quickly. The colour is incredibly bright and pigmented and lasts on me all day, aside from a bit of wear when eating. This was very cheap and I'd consider purchasing more of these in the future as I have nothing bad to say about this product.
This comes in a thick clear plastic tube with a black lid. You can see how much you have left in the tube so that is helpful.
The applicator has a sponge tip which holds a good amount of the product and is quite easy to use.
I thought the matte gloss is very pigmented, the colours are very rich looking. I found it was easy to apply, the colour changed slightly on my lips, but still close to the colour in the tube.
The issue I have with this product is as it wore off during the day I got left with lips that looked like I was only wearing a lip liner. It wore away from my inner lips, it looked awful!
I am happy I gave something like this a try, but I will stick with what I know and love.
