L.A.Girl Glazed Lip Paint Review ♥

Hi beaut's!

LA Girl is a brand I've wanted to try for so long, so many of their products are raved about in the beauty world but as they are a US brand it's very hard to get hold of their makeup here in the UK...Until now he he... Beauty Chamber have answered all our prayers by stocking some LA Girl makeup products on their website and I have three of their popular Glazed Lip Paints to share with you all today.
The LA Girl Glazed Lip Paints* (£4.99 each) are described as having an intensely pigmented appearance of a lipstick, with the ease and glossy finish of a lip gloss and provide long lasting, hyper glossy, ultra rich colour to lips, sounds pretty amazing right! The Glazed Collection includes 18 of the most sought after, trendsetting colours this season ranging from pretty nudes to brights to deep berries, so theres certainly a shade to suit everyone in this collection that's for sure. 
Each of the Glazed Lip Paints come in plastic, squeaky tubes with an angled applicator that you can use to apply to the lips directly much like lip balms, however because of how intense these colours are I'd definitely suggest using a lip brush to apply the lip paints otherwise you might find yourself in a bit of a hot mess. 
The three shades I got are Gleam a bright coral with gold shimmer running through it. Bombshell a solid hot pink and Coy is a solid dark lilac. They are all quite bright, garish colours but are so much fun to work with. As you can see each shade has amazing pigmentation and opacity, you only need to apply the smallest amount of the lip paint to cover your lips entirely which is super good. The formula of these is pretty incredible and totally surprised me in a good way, they aren't thick and gloopy like I imagined but instead they have a thin consistency that's easy to work with and blend across your lips. The formula is also super nourishing and doesn't dry out your lips at all and has the added benefits of vitamin E and peppermint oil which makes the lip paints smell and taste like those candy canes you get a Christmas, arrhhh its amazing! Because of the added peppermint oil you do get a slight tingling feeling when you apply the lip paints but nothing over the top or painful which is a plus. 
The finish of the lip paints is glossy, glossy, glossy and isn't at all sticky, your lips feel so moisturised too and the colour really stays put! I think the lip paints would work amazingly well during the winter months when you still want to wear lip colours even though your lips might be super dry, I definitely want to invest in some more wearable shades for the daytime that's for sure. The only downside I have with these is that these brighter shades can bleed ever so slightly, so I always have to line my lips before application with these particular shades but other than that I think the LA Girl Glazed Lip Paints are amazing and I really cant fault them!

Have you tried any of the LA Girl Glazed Lip Paints beaut's?? What shades your favourite?? I'd love to know!

Fashionista | Customise You Own Palette Review & Swatches


Recently whilst having a snoop for beauty bargains online i noticed that MUA Cosmetics had a new addition to their website, Fashionista. Fashionista is a makeup brand that used to be available in Superdrug, i have no idea if it still is available in Superdrug as in my town we never had the Fashionista stand atall. As i was browsing i couldn't believe the affordable prices, everything is half price on the website right now so it would of been silly not make a cheeky purchase.

I decided to build my own little 4 shade palette, personally i think this is a fab idea as you get to choose all the shades that your filling your palette with, therefore you not going to end up with a palette with the odd shade here or there that you will never use, brilliant. I opted for 2 eye shadows, 1 blusher and a bronzer, you could always opt for all eye shadows or all blushes etc the choice is yours.

The shades i chose are....


Cafe Au Lait is a pearl champagne colour eyeshadow, great for using as a highlight on the brow bone or inner corners of the eyes. 


Brunette Bombshell is a pearl dark chocolate brown eyeshadow with tiny bronze shimmer particles running through it, the pigmentation is amazing and its very soft to the touch.


Amber Glow is the only Blusher i picked up, although it doesn't look like it in the picture its actually a coral shade with rose gold shimmer particles running through it. Its very pigmented and a little definitely goes along way with this.


Paris is the bronzer i picked up, i actually wanted to try this more as a contour shade than a bronzer but i don't really like this colour at all. Its a matte orange/rust colour when applied on the face which looks awful on my skin tone,  however it is quite pigmented for a matte shade so that gives it a few points.

My Swatches....


My Palette....




All in all I'm really impressed with this, its a fabulous idea to create your own little palette, the pigmentation and quality is great and the fact all of it only cost £7 when usually 1 eyeshadow costs £4 alone, its an absolute steal. You can also get a six shade palette for £10 at the moment too. 

I'm not too sure how long the offer runs until so get them why you can girlie's.
