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.
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.
These colours look so good on you.

Thank you, Erika.
OMG… I like all the colors now that I see them on you. Great holiday gift …
Thank you aaaand LOL is that a hint?
love all of these!!! i really like "hot mess"
Hot mes is really pretty. I love orange lippies. I like that this one isn't too bright, so it's perfect for fall/winter.
I've never tried LA Girl cosmetics but I have heard that the concealers are good. Coy looks cute on you!
They have some good stuff! I love the concealers. I want to try the foundation next.
I love these! I think Coy might be my favorite, but I definitely need to try them all!

I love those shades! You'd look beautiful in both.
your blog is going to get me in trouble! I’m making a list because yeah there is nothin better than a good lippy to perk up a simple face.
LOL I'm going to apologize in advance. You are so right about that. I can't go a day without my brows or a nice lip.
Gorgeous shades! I agree about the applicator – They should really change it!
Thank you. Yeah, IDK what they were thinking when they used that applicator.
They all look fabulous on you! I wish they had left the peppermint oil out of them so I could buy them all 🙁 It dries my lips out, boo hoo
