L.A. Girl (Matte) Flat Finish Pigment Gloss Swatches & Review.

The first lipstick swatches, so excited!

Anyways, I have been eyeing these liquid lipsticks for quite something and was contemplating for the longest time and watched so many swatching videos on Youtube and finally bit the bullet and purchased 4 colors from a (very nice) Carouseller. They retail between RM30-RM40 when converted from the $5 price tag in the US. I got mine for RM30 each so I thought I had a very good deal.

Moving on to some review; these wear for a very long time, stay put even after a few (oily) meals and countless sips of water. They glide on smoothly on the lips and very pigmented, takes a couple of swipes to get the full color. As with many other matte lipsticks, they are drying on the lips but not overly drying, it is quite comfortable on the lips. It can be sticky when first applied so heads-up, do not purse your lips together before they dry or else the wet patches will cling on to either the bottom or top lip. Exfoliate your lips and slather on some good lip balm then you're good to go. Also, these require oil-based makeup remover to remove because they will cling to your lips like there's no tomorrow. (I use Pixy Eye & Lip Makeup Remover)

I might do lip swatches for all these 4 so you can see how they look on typical Malaysian skin-tone. I know it's hard to find swatches done on warmer skin tones as reviews are usually done by the girls with cooler skin tones. I hope I can get it up by tomorrow (hopefully!)

You can find these liquid lipsticks on Carousell and on Instagram.
