I’ve been seeing this LA Girl Flat Velvet lipstick collection around on vlogs and blogs while I was on the hunt for matte lipsticks that don’t dry my lips. I decided to buy the lipstick shade relentless, which is a beautiful deep red colour.
The lipstick glided on smoothly on my lips and best of all the colour stayed matte without drying my lips. My lips were moisturised and felt comfortable the whole time I had it on. I applied it twice to keep it long lasting, but it does come off after eating or drinking.
I found that the LA Girl Matte Flat lipsticks are perfect to use whenever I didn’t want to waste my expensive ones. It’s cheap and affordable, I would recommend it.
I am an avid hater of matte lipsticks because while I like the finish, I always find they just feel awful to wear and eat with, and they make my lips look wrinkly, despite my efforts with lip balms and scrubs. However, these have made me love matte lipsticks. I own two shades; Blue Valentine and Poetic. The lipsticks are packaged nicely in long black tubes with pretty gold writing. These were really affordable, and I loved the range of out there colours. The lipsticks have a nice vanilla scent to them. The lipsticks feel quite conditioning and dry matte, but they don't leave my lips feeling dry. They also don't bleed at all. A lot of matte lipsticks go gross after eating and have to be fully removed before reapplying, but with these I can just do slight touch ups, with no need to fully remove them. I find overall the lipsticks are also quite pigmented and stay on pretty well throughout the day. Poetic is a dark grey shade that is lovely. It's quite pigmented and I love how out there the shade is. Blue Valentine is a dramatic dark blue which is incredibly pigmented. I've had so many compliments on this one when wearing it to uni. Overall, these are a breeze to use, affordable and come in great colours. I look forward to trying more shades from the range.
