LA Girl Palette Review

I currently own the Ultra Palette, but may be looking to buy more ;) First off the packaging of this palette is nice, sleek and simple. I am a fan of the colour scheme used, as the black and vibrant purple really stands out and makes it easy to find amongst other palettes. On the back of the box there is a suggestion on how and where to apply the eyeshadows, which I thought would be great help for makeup newbies. The interior of the box is nicely laid out, it features a good clear mirror, and there is also magnet which hold the lid in place when closed. The colours are also arranged beautifully, there is a nice transition between colour groups. Now on to the application. Well firstly there is a difference between the ways the colours look in the pan and on, and the colours are relatively sheer but are definitely buildable. However I strongly recommend the use of an eyeshadow base, I personally found the Maybelline Colour Tattoo eyeshadows in shade 05 or 70 worked particularly well and made the LA Girl shades vibrant and long lasting. Without the base eyeshadows the LA Girl colours wore off rather quickly. The colours within the Ultra palette are quite universal as all eye colours suit purples, and there is a range of cool and warm tones. All of the colours are shimmery, but can be mixed with neutral mattes to tone them done. This has swiftly become one of my everyday palettes as they add a nice pop of colour to my usual makeup routine. Overall I recommend this palette and believe it’s definitely bang for your buck.

I purchased the neons and naturals palettes after giving in over the cheap price and I didn't have a great collection of colourful eyeshadows and I wanted to experiment ! I love the naturals they have just enough pigmentation for my liking for everyday wear and the colours show up nicely, I love lots of the shimmer colours in the palette. I didn't find much use with the neons palette in all honesty, the colours weren't very pigmented for my liking of bright colours they were very subtle. Some colours were more pigmented then others, I found some of the colours chalky and didn't blend out that great or stick to my eyelids even with a primer. I did give away my neons one but kept my naturals palette as I find it's great for travelling since it has a great range of colours.

I am a sucker for nudes and this palette caught my eye when on sale so I grabbed myself one. The packaging colours are quite modern looking with a black cover and almost a nude colour writing. once you open your new palette you will find 12 gorgeous colours to excite your imagination with. The applicator is one I have not seen before with a sponge tip on one end and a brush on the other. I havent used the sponge but have used the brush which actually isnt that bad. I found the shadow reasonably easy to apply but did have to use a bit to get good depth of colour. One morning I tried using it wet and it seemed better. I was happy with the way it stayed on for the day and came off easily with my usual eye makeup remover. This palette I feel is a good one for a beginner or if eye shadow is not a priority.

My friend sent me the Nudes palette and I really do love it! Mostly filled with shimmer shades but such a good variety. Does have a few matte shades - a couple that make great crease colours.

Not the greatest pigmentation but pretty sweet for the price.

I usually use my Too Faced natural mattes palette and then use a shade or two from this one to add a pop of shimmer on top which I find works really well!

Would be a nice palette for beginners but nice to add to the collection for anyone!

I bought the Nudes palette from my local Farmers as it looked really cute and it had all of the colours I want to use daily.

The packaging is sweet, a long rectangular mirror is super handy, especially for those who don't have a suitable mirror at hand.

I find that it isn't very pigmented. It is very subtle and the more bronzey shades don't have a whole lot of impact. You need to keep going over the area with colour so it shows.

It was cheap and I feel like you get what you pay for with this.

This is a great starter palette for those who are just venturing into the world of eye shadows.

I purchased the nude pallet and over all I quite liked it. The shimmers are really nice but found the mattes no where near pigmented enough. I also didn't like that the pallet was mostly shimmers.

The mattes didn't really show up on my skin that well. It does have a nice range of colours though. There is something for everyone.

For the price point you can't really complain. It was nice that it came with a double ended brush. The packaging is cardboard, which once again is OK for the price point, plastic would have been better.

This was one of the very first eyeshadow palettes I ever owned. I had the nude one and had seriously used it to death! It's a great palette if you're looking at a basic, cheap, decent place to start.

The nude palette is has a great spectrum of colours to create many different natural, day-to-day eye looks. One thing that I don't like about the nude palette is that it only has 3 matte shades, the rest are shimmers (not sure if this is the same for the other palettes). I find this a pain as I like to use matte shades in my crease and just wish there were more!

The formula is alright. They blend pretty well and don't have a lot of kick back, but the pigmentation isn't excellent. They stay on pretty well all day with an eyeshadow primer.

Due to these eyeshadows not being too pigmented they're great palettes for beginners as you learn to build the colour up and not use too much at once. It takes a bit of time but the completed look is pretty good. For what you pay, my nude palette is a pretty good buy. I just wish there were more mattes!

I was lucky to review the L.A.Girl Palette Ultra. It is the perfect palette choice for me, because it has gorgeous purple tones. And did you know that no matter what eye colour you have purple works great to emphasize it? Yep, this is so true! I really liked that there are at least three colours of one colour scale in the palette. The range goes from pinks to greyish blue, purple and to brown. All the colours are shimmery why I substituted my base after a few times with another matte eye shadow. They are very soft and powdery but fortunately the colours do not seem to fall off when applying and afterwards. The single shades have a different consistency. Some are more pigmented and easier to blend than others. The packaging is not the highest quality, but a double-ended makeup brush is included that has a synthetic bristle flat brush on one end and a sponge-tip applicator on the other that is very good for applying. All in all I think this palette is a really good choice if you like shimmery colours. You get a lot for the relatively small price.

I am so happy with the La girl Ultra palette! The pigmentation is really good, much better than most palettes in this price range. The colours are lovely, quite unique and a good mix of matte and shimmer. The shadows are creamy and blend fairly easily. One criticism I have is that without a primer (I use Urban decay primer potion) the shadow creases and fades over time. Also some of the colours look quite different in the palette than they do on the skin. I've created several looks with this palette and have loved the result, the quality is great for the price.

I don’t own many palettes and wanted to start building up a bit of a palette collection without breaking the bank.

I’m also not much of an eye shadow wearer but seeing so many beautiful looks on the photo wall I really wanted to start experimenting and getting a bit more creative.

Because this had such a great price tag I couldn’t resist and choose the safest option for me the nudes palette.

I love the beauty brick packaging the cute book which opens up to a beautiful range of shimmery and matte nudes with a double ended brush and mirror on the inside. I didn’t use their brush for applications as I prefer my own shadow brushes but as far as brushes included in palettes go this wasn’t too bad and I would keep this as a spare.

Because I am the most impatient person in the world I couldn’t wait to try it as soon as I received it, I already had my makeup done but as I don’t generally wear eye shadow I put this straight over foundation. I used the matte lighter more natural nudes and the pigmentation was great. It was super smooth and creamy and glided on my eyelids beautifully.

I choose the matte nudes to experiment with first and absolutely loved it. It didn’t sit in my creases or anything like that. The only downside it really had was it didn’t last all day on me but to be honest at that price I’m not terribly concerned !

I have been playing with these ever since !. The shimmers the mattes they are all very highly pigmented and glide on super smoothly. I do use these with a eyeshadow primer to give the shadow some longer stay time and this generally takes me through my work day which is exactly what I’m after. I adore the nude palette really nice shades for my skin tone.

I will be buying more of these – with such an affordable price tag it’s a great way to experiment with colours and looks without breaking the bank but still receiving a good quality product.

I would definitely recommend this to people to try.
