LA Girl Matte Pigment Gloss in Dreamy Review

This is a lovely drugstore brand. I won this & am so happy about it. This is a good sized tube clear with brand logo writing on the outer the lid is black with it being also the applicator which is a doe foot. The applicator is also a longer then usual doe foot & slim. Making it easy to use for application. The lipstick is thick in consistency yet flowing but not too liquidy making it hard to manage. There is no scent that I can tell that is over powering in this product. The shade is a nude brown almost close dupe to serenity by Gerard Cosmetics. This goes on quite wet but dries as quick as it goes on & leaves the lips looking like matte leather that's what I reckon & is a bt tacky but not super tacky. It's quite pigmented & spreadable but not streaky which I like. I don't use a lipliner every time I use this & you really don't need to its doesn't bleed or feather. It's stay power is 6 hours with slight loss of pigmentation. It doesn't seem to dry my lips I like to use this for neutral looks or places where red lipstick is too bold lol. Overall the rave about these is well worth it the formulation of these are one of a kind they're not as good as my Gerard cosmetics formula they're more like a la splash but they don't flake off during wearing & the tacky feeling doesn't cause any stress during the day.

Straight off the bat, I love the packaging. It feels good quality, is sturdy and I like that it's a thicker more chunky tube opposed to the longer, slim ones most liquid lipsticks are housed in. I like that you can see the colour of the product through the packaging, it makes for easy choosing when searching through your stash. The lid screws on tightly and the stopper works fairly well, I do think the wand pulls out with too much product on it, for my liking any way. Now, the product itself... This liquid lipstick is quite liquid-y compared to other formulas I've tried, it makes it harder to get an even application/layer of product and is especially difficult to apply nicely on the lip line. The applicator is far too big in my opinion, it's flat and slim and has a bit of flexibility. It would have been nicer had the formula not been so runny or they should have used a stiffer, traditional doe foot applicator. The scent is kind of chemically, not overly strong and doesn't linger once applied. The colour is gorgeous but in saying that it's not what I expected at all. In online swatches the colour Dreamy looks like a pretty beige nude but once I applied it, it turned into a rosy pink nude. It's pretty but not what I was expecting so keep in mind it will probably look different on everyone. Now, here's where the product becomes a real issue for me...how it dries. Once applied (always to exfoliated & hydrated lips) this seems to take around 3-5 minutes to "dry" and even then it stays extremely tacky. I've worn liquid lipsticks that have a light tackiness to them and it's not an issue for me, but this is just straight up sticky and unbearably uncomfortable to wear. I've left it on for around 30 minutes to see if it does eventually dry down but it doesn't, I don't experience they "velvety perfection" that they claim. So overall I am pretty disappointed because these were hyped up so much.

Where to start! It took me so long to find such an amazing lip colour in matte for starters. I read about this brand over the Internet when I was looking at an American make up website. So I looked up if they sold these in NZ and they did! I found these for a reasonable price off pharmacy direct so I thought I would give them a try!!

The product comes in a nice thick tube, which makes it look expensive. The tube is high quality too, with a screw top as well so the lid doesn't unexpectedly come off in your handbag like other lip products do.

When I first put this on I fell in love, especially with this colour as it looked the best in the photos. The colour was neutral so it goes with pretty much any look and you can wear any day no matter what you are doing.

The first time I wore this, I was going out with friends for the night. It glides on smoothly like a normal lip gloss. It has a lip gloss type of application so it makes it easy to define your lips, and make them look more fuller.

The more you apply, the more intense the colour is and that is what I find great. The product looks like it is glossy when you apply, but dries quickly leaving you with a nice, full matte colour. As I was going out, I thought I would need to take this with me as I would need to apply through the night. But I left it at home! The most suprising thing I found with this lip gloss is that it stayed on the whole time I was out. This doesn't happen often with most lip products, so I knew from then on I found my perfect matte lip product.

Only problem I found with this product is after a few hours, the product does become quite sticky. Best thing to do is removing with make up remover and applying again for another round!

I love this product, I own this is 4 other colours and they all look great. This is my favourite colour though and as soon as I run out I will be sure to stock up again with this same product!

Dreamy is a nice nude, its a little tacky but not too much that its bothering, this last about 5-6hours, i find it a little more drying than the others in the line so i wear a lipgloss with this, but for the price they are all worth, I dont think you can find liquid lipsticks that are this good for so cheap. it dries to a complete matte and when i pat my lips with say a napkin, it doesnt transfer at all

This little beauty caught my eye recently on the lovemymakeup website. I picked up several because they were selling for $6.49.

The colour dreamy is a pink-brown nude colour, the packaging is clear plastic so you can see the colour of the gloss. The applicator wand is different I was expecting a doe foot applicator like most lip glosses, but this is a long skinny wand.

This goes on pretty smoothly but it takes around 5 minutes to dry, which I find strange as most matte glosses usually take less than 1 minute. Once dried though it feels really sticky, I really dislike the feeling of it. I have tried putting lip balm on first, more gloss, less gloss but it gives me the same sticky finish. To the point where I can't wait to get it off my lips.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong or I have brought a dodgy one but I really don't like this gloss and probably won't use it again unless someone has an awesome tip for me?

I've purchased six of the La girl pigment gloss from the pharmacy and have tried two of the colour. These are not glosses despite the name but are liquid lipsticks. The colour dreamy is a nude orangey colour. The colour in the tube and the colour when applied to your lips is quite different but regardless the colour is beautiful. The colour doesn't stand out too much but still gives a nice colour to your lips. The applicator for this liquid lipstick is nice and straight so is really easy to apply liquid lipstick onto your lips. The formula is great too. Only after 1 minute of applying the liquid lipstick the lipstick starts to dry and turns matte. As for the staying power it probably lasts around 4-5hours? But it really depends what you do. Your lips get a bit dry but I didn't find it too Drying. I really enjoy these liquid lipsticks and I particularly love the colour dreamy.

I love, love, love my La Girl Matte Gloss. I have 2 shades. This and frisky.

This shade is a nude pink with a slight brown tinge once dried.

The tube is a clear see through plastic, which is handy so you can see how much product is in side. The applicator is basically a stick! I find lining my lips helps to apply with this applicator.

The formula is quite thick, I'm unsure why it's called a gloss it's a glorified matte lipstick just in liquid form.

It goes on well but you need to keep applying if you want too build the colour up. I find it takes awhile to dry but once dried it has amazing staying power. Too the point you really need to scrub this off your lips for it too budge! I would change this. I think it's a great formula but it sets like concrete that I don't enjoy!

This product is great for the price, you can't expect amazing things for such an affordable product but this is pretty close! :) I picked it up from love my makeup website for $9.

I am very fortunate to have friends obsessed with lipsticks - it means I often get gifted them. This was no exception. To be honest, I wouldn't have bought this brand myself, simply because I tried the concealers and didn't like them. One thing shouldn't change my opinion but it does, so here is my review!

I quite like the tube they come in. It's a glossy plastic with a matte lid and a long applicator - even the doe foot is quite long, which makes me think it reaches the bottom of the tube. I like that you can clearly see the product inside and the shade it is.

I didn't notice any smell, and application was smooth enough. It glides on easily, maybe a bit patchy in places, but it takes 2 coats nicely so that's fine. The color Dreamy on me is a very odd shade, not something I would pick up myself. It is like a peachy pink with brown undertones - so essentially a nude. It doesn't look bad... But its not a color I would confidently wear out.

It dries down to matte in roughly 10 minutes, but its still very sticky. Not in a gloss way, in a... two pieces of sellotape stuck together kind of way. It hurts (a little) to pull my lips apart if I smack them together. Wear time is average, I didn't notice anything special. Because of the color and the feeling it has on my lips, I wouldn't be inclined to buy more.

I was excited to try this lippy as it is a new thing for me. I picked this colour because it seemed quite a nude colour and I could wear it with many outfits and make up looks.

It comes in a sturdy plastic clear plastic tube with a black screw top lid. There is the usual information written [in very small writing] on the tube leaving enough room to see the colour inside.

The colour is a great nude colour, not too dark to start with, however I did think it dried darker on my lips.

The applicator has a sponge at the end to apply your lippy. I didn't feel there was anything special about that. It holds enough product to do your lips and then I dip it in and go over my lips again.

It glides on nicely and quite evenly and takes a few minutes to dry.

I didn't think there was any gloss to see, so I was disappointed about that. Once it did dry, I felt my lips start to feel dry, so dry that after a while the colour started to sort od peel off. My lips felt awful.

The staying power of this is pretty awesome I have to say, to be honest, for me that is the only thing this product has going for it.

Overall I am not happy with this gloss and will not repurchase.
