LA Girl Cosmetics Glazed Lip Paint
 
I BOUGHT THIS | AFFILIATE LINKS
I’m a fan of L.A. Girl Cosmetics not only because they’re affordable, but also because they carry quality products.  I mean, I own every shade of their Pro Concealers, which I use daily so that should tell you something other than I hoard makeup.  Recently, I purchased five of the L.A. Girl Cosmetics Glazed Lip Paints because of a great deal I caught on Groupon;  they were 5/$12.99.

As a lipstick-only girl who mostly indulges in matte finish lipsticks, I was still intrigued by the L.A. Girl Cosmetics Glazed Lipsticks for several reasons besides the price.  The L.A. Girl Cosmetics Glazed Lip Paints had colors that I liked, and seemed similar to the Too Faced Melted Lipsticks I’ve been dying to try, too.

After wearing and playing around with the L.A. Girl Cosmetics Glazed Lip Paints, I realized how similar they are to Lip Tars from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics in formula, wear, and usage.  The L.A. Girl Cosmetics Glazed Lip Paints highly pigmented, which for some shades can lead to staining of the lips, similar to my experience when wearing certain Lip Tar shades.  Similar to Lip Tars, the L.A. Girl Cosmetics Glazed Lip Paints can be mixed with each other to create different shades.  Both products contain peppermint oil, so if you have an aversion to peppermint oil, you may want to stay away.

I do find the consistency of the the L.A. Girl Cosmetics Glazed Lip Paints to be runny, similar to Lip Tars; however, the consistency is a lot more goopy, in a sense when compared to Lip Tars (not the stained gloss).  Plus, in my opinion, Glazed Lip Paints are a lot more hydrating than Lip Tars.  I do like the L.A. Girl Cosmetics Glazed Lip Paints aren’t sticky like other glosses I own and have used, but still maintain the gloss with a higher color payoff.

I find that when applying the L.A. Girl Cosmetics Glazed Lip Paints, using the applicator tip is impractical since it makes for messy, streaky application of the product.  These lip paints apply better with a lip brush, especially for more precise application.  I noticed if you use too much of the Glazed Lip Paints, you run into the product running off of your lip. Also,I find that if you are not a fan of the glossy lip look, using less of the product creates a less glossy finish.

LA Girl Glazed Lip Paint Swatches
I was excited to get my hands on ‘Coy’ (purple shade) since it reminds me of one of my favorite Lip Tar shades, ‘Katricia’ (view post), that I lost.  ‘Blushing’ is also a favorite, especially for day wear and for work.  ‘Bombshell’ and ‘Hot Mess’  are beautiful fuchsia and orange shades for my complexion, and are definitely brown girl friendly.  My least favorite of them all is ‘Babydoll’, especially since it was the only one that leaked out of the packaging all over the place, and the color was not flattering against my complexion.

Overall, I’m happy with this purchase.  It was honestly a steal since the L.A. Girl Glazed Lip Paints retail for $3.99 at your local drugstore or beauty supply, and I picked them up for about $2.60 each.  As I mentioned previously, if you have a sensitivity to peppermint oil these are not for you.  But, if you’re looking for an affordable alternative to lip tars, that come in amazing shades, I’d suggest checking these out.
