Packaging
The LA Girl Matte Liquid Lipsticks come in a classy black lipgloss packaging. The packaging isn’t opaque hence you can easily identify a particular color incase you own more than one of these. It has a flat applicator which isn’t the best and you definitely need to be a bit careful during application especially since these pigment glosses can be very unforgiving incase you mess up.

Shades
The L.A Girl Matte Pigment Glosses are available in 16 tempting shades and I had a hard time choosing just a few. I chose Playful which is a bright doll pink that is slightly neon. The other shade that I got was Dreamy, which is the color that actually first attracted me to this range. I thought it would be a beautiful pinky-brown nude and it is but I feel its a bit too pale for Indian skin. It looks horrible on me and gives me the ‘foundation on the lips’ look. I could probably make it work with a darker lip liner underneath and heavy smokey eyes but on its own, I did not like it at all.

Texture
Coming to its biggest drawback, ugh- the texture. Now the name obviously mentions a flat matte finish but I never expected it to feel like cement. I do have dry lips but I love matte lipsticks and they never perform so badly for me. I adore the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams and this one is such a huge disappointment in comparison. It applies easily, like a normal liquid lipstick but starts getting sticky around the inner part of the lips. Especially with LA Girl Dreamy Matte Gloss my lips almost stick together and the color starts getting patchy instantly from the inner portion.

Both the shades are extremely drying and I did not want to post lip swatches of these as they look horrible. But after going through all those rave reviews, I felt that I needed to show you guys how bad it looked. I’ve tried to make it work with a lip balm and it does feel less drying but the patchy finish remains. This might work a bit better for you if you do not have dry lips, but for me the texture was the biggest let down.

Pigmentation & Staying Power
One thing that the LA Girl Matte Flat Finish Glosses do score well on is the pigmentation. A single swipe gives an opaque finish which is vivid and vibrant. Even a pale shade like Dreamy is very well pigmented so I’m sure the entire range has good pigmentation. The longevity is also great but like I mentioned it gets patchy in the inner part of the lips especially if I eat something so I am not necessarily happy about the liquid lipstick staying put on the outer half for a solid 5-6 hours. You need an oil based makeup remover to completely get rid of the cement lipstick.

LA Girl Matte Flat Pigment Gloss Playful Swatch & Review

Yes, the price is super affordable but I have used far better products like the NYX Soft Matte Lipcreams which not only perform much, much better but are equally affordable. I know many people love this range but sadly it just didn’t work for me!

1) From nudes to bold purples and pinks, you get them all in this range
2) Intensely pigmented
3) Good staying power but gets patchy
4) Affordable

Cons of L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss

1) Extremely drying. Settles down into lip lines and feels very uncomfortable
2) Feels sticky and starts getting patchy
3) Gets patchy from the inner part of the lips incase you have a meal

HBM Rating
2.5 / 5(Reviewed by Lisha B.)L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss Playful & Dreamy Review, Swatches & Price

HBM Recommendation: Oh God, No! I know so many people rave about the L.A. Girl Matte Pigment Glosses but these just did not work out for me. I don’t know if its because of these particular shades but the patchy finish coupled with the extremely drying texture made me absolutely hate it. If you have dry lips, stay away!
