LA Girl Matte Pigment Gloss (all shades) Review

I was super excited to get this because it was cheap but I found it was very drying but also so sticky my lips would be stuck together. Was also very hard to get off and stained

I was so excited to get these because the shades looked so nice when i swatched them on my hand (i got the shade "fleur" and the shade "secret") they dry down so sticky yet crumble off your lips and feel super uncomfortable and are a pain to try and get off then once they're off your lips are left stained! really not a fan of these- plus they smell like straight chemical!

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.

This lipstick although easy to apply and it look okay when you first put it on, however it feathers and crumbles and feels tight and uncomfortable on your lips. It rubs off a bit too. The quality of this lipstick is poor. I wouldn't use this again.

I’m a bit surprised about some of the neg reviews on here, I just can’t agree... I’ve just bought one of these in the ‘Stunner’ shade, which I find to be a gorgeous purple colour - ‘stunning’ indeed! I like wearing pinks and purples as they go well with my lightish skin tone and dark blonde hair. So I’m LOVING this shade!

I’m all for paying more for a quality lippy too, but cheap doesn’t ALWAYS have to mean nasty and, in this case, I personally find this pigment gloss to be cheap but also beautifully effective and pretty! So I can’t agree with some of the previous reviews on here...

It sets so well and doesn’t come off with my morning coffee, like so many others lippies/glosses tend to do. It’s all very well if something is devoid of any chemicals, plant-based, nasty-free and maybe even gold-plated (lol!), but if you are forever having to reapply it (and find you’re swallowing it with your first cuppa of the day rather than it staying on your lips), then what’s the actual point? This pigment gloss stays on my lips for the whole day, pretty much. Plus it’s a lovely bold shade that goes well with my complexion and hair-colouring, so I really am very, very stoked with this cheap little buy.

The only downside I’ve found is that it isn’t THE easiest gloss to apply. You probably need to wear a liner with it if you want that perfect outline. I just free-hand it and find I can get it to look just fine, but it’s not as easy to apply as some of the other lip glosses I currently own. I also agree with a reviewer’s suggestion below to moisturise your lips before applying. I do that and it’s never once crumbled or caked, it’s just stayed in place all day and looked fab! Five kisses (and you could probably even go a sixth kiss with this lippy without it all coming off on your partner’s face!).

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!

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.

Good pigmented lipstick, affordable,smooth lip gloss consistency but when it dries it looks very dry on me and cracks start showing on lips even after exfoliating. Not pretty at all wouldn't recommend
