L.A. Girl Cosmetics



So I didn't try everything that L.A. Girl Cosmetics has to offer but I did try a bunch.  Here is my favorites and misses of this brand.




What is it?  According to Walgreens.com...

Provides Complete, Natural-Looking Coverage
  • Crease-resistant
  • Opaque coverage in a creamy yet light weight texture
  • Provides complete, natural-looking coverage
  • Animal cruelty free
Crease-resistant, opaque coverage in a creamy yet lightweight texture.  The long-wearing formula camouflages darkness under the eyes, redness and skin imperfections.  Provides complete, natural-looking coverage, evens skin tone, covers dark circles and minimizes fine lines around the eyes.
What does Ms. Faux think?

When I see concealers with brushes attached I think under the eye rather than to conceal a blemish.  So that is how I tried this.  I think this is a bit too heavy for under the eye.  Maybe o.k. to conceal blemishes, but I don't know if I would want the brush on bacteria filled blemishes.  I will give this one a pass.



What is it?  According to Walgreens.com...

High-Definition Setting Powder
  • Translucent
  • For All Skin Tones
  • Loose Powder
To set make up for a flawless, high-definition finish, dip a large face brush into powder, shake off excess and apply to face in a buffing, circular motion.  Best used over foundation but can also be used alone.
What does Ms. Faux think?

I'm not sure if this is because my skin is a little more dry due to the change of the weather, but I will say this definitely does mattify.  Perhaps a little too much.  I think I would love this setting powder in the summer, but for right night it is sucking out the life force of my skin.  So.... pass... for now.



What is it?  According to Walgreens.com...

Easy, Endless Options
  • 12 On Trend Shades
  • Pigment-Rich
  • Dual Ended Applicator Included
Sweep lighter shade across the entire eyelid from lash line to brow line.  Apply darker shade along crease to the outer corner of lid.

O.k. hunties I did get all of them.  At first I though I really will only use the Nudes and the Ultra and then I thought... o.k. maybe the Smoky.  Then I thought hell, knock it out with the Neons, they will be fun in the summer for your lash line.



First if you are looking for highly pigmented shadows this is not for you.  If you are like Ms. Faux however and love just a slight wash of color on your lids, these are perfect.



They are a little chalkier and not as buttery.  Seriously Wet N Wild does better shadows.  Also... Wet N Wild actually has really good shadows.  Just a tip from me to you.



What LA Girl does though is have a ton of colors packed into these palettes and at $6.99 each it is a steal.  Again if it is just light color you are looking for, these pack a lot of colors into lovely palettes.  For me this one is a go, but for others maybe a pass.




What is it?  According to Walgreens.com...

Glazed Lip Lip Gloss
  • Super Intense Color
  • Extra Glossy Finish
  • Various Shades
What does Ms. Faux think?

These have been called dupes for the Too Faced "Melted," Line.  Well Ms. Faux is gonna call a, "hell no," on that.  That are kind of close but the Melted line I find is different.  They are both heavily pigmented, but I find that the LA Girl line is definitely more glossy to the more mattified Too Face.  I do get how people got there though because the packaging is quite similar.

Too Faced Melted
Ms. Faux found some of the colors just to wash her out.  Those however could be used as highlight colors and the dark colors are just a bit too dark.  So while there are a couple of colors in the line that I might use this is a pass for me.  If you are however a bit more daring, this could be a nice affordable option for those ladies that love color.  You know Ms. Faux though... she likes her make up like she likes to live... in the nude.







What is it?  According to Walgreens.com...

All-in-One Skin Beautifier
  • Helps Prime & Moisturize Skin
  • Helps Enhance Skin
  • Paraben & Fragrance Free
Apply a dime sized amount of BB Cream to skin.  May be worn alone or under powder.  For best results finish wiht L.A. Girl Pro Setting Powder.
What does Ms. Faux think?

So hunties if you haven't already ready my Fab Five Friday for Today, well then I will spell it out again what I think of this product.

Go.  Get.  It.  Now.  This product is a home run.  It performs as well if not better as a lot of high end foundations.  I simply love it.  It is like delicious butter for the face.  Your face is a big old delicious biscuit in this case.


This metaphor is running astray.  I will just say this will be a constant in Ms. Faux's make collection at home and in her gym bag.  I want it everywhere.  It is a DIAMOND hunties.  A DIAMOND!!!


Seriously.  I'm going to Andre Leon Talley this product and that is to say, Its...


So there you go.  LA Girl Cosmetics.  Some gems and some plain old rocks, but an amazingly affordable cosmetics line.

Stay tuned because coming up tomorrow Ms. Faux's is rolling out her favorite, "go to," cold neccesities.
