LA Girl Palette Review

I have the nudes palette in this range. I brought this about 3 months ago because the shades looked to die for! The packaging is super cute, easy to select and use shades and is a great size (slips in the side of my makeup cabinet). I found the shades were beautiful but lacked pigment. I still manage to achieve the looks I want by layering the product. I found applying it wet worked quite well to intensify the colours. Over all I think it is a great palette for the price.

I own 2 of these palettes so that has to be saying something haha. While these are good palettes for the price they aren't great.

The shades are a mix between mattes for base and crease and sheers for ontop.

Unfortunately not the best pigmented eyeshadows :( you do need to keep going over and over the same area to build the colour up which sometimes if you don't prime the eye you will find it dulls and wears off or the colour kind of shifts around from where you've put it.

I think these would be great for a teenager that is experimenting with makeup or just starting out to get a feel of what they can do, and with so many colours in one palette there are endless options of looks too create.

I like these palettes for the base shade occasionally I'll use the sheer shades to add a pop of shimmer to my look. They are blendable but not as easy to blend as high end eyeshadows, you have to work a little harder with these shades.

I bought the Nudes palette from my local Farmers as it looked really cute and it had all of the colours I want to use daily.

The packaging is sweet, a long rectangular mirror is super handy, especially for those who don't have a suitable mirror at hand.

I find that it isn't very pigmented. It is very subtle and the more bronzey shades don't have a whole lot of impact. You need to keep going over the area with colour so it shows.

It was cheap and I feel like you get what you pay for with this.

This is a great starter palette for those who are just venturing into the world of eye shadows.

I put my hand up to trial the LA Girl Neon Palette and was so excited to be accepted. I opened it up as soon as it arrived, it comes in packaging that feels like strong shiny cardboard, it doesn't feel overly sturdy but I don't tend to throw my palettes around so that's no biggy. The eyes shadows themselves come in a cool green coloured plastic. There's also a small long mirror on the top half, I don't know how you're meant to use the mirror as it is quite thin. I would most likely only use it if I was desperate and had no other mirrors on me, but it does look nice so there's that.

It also comes with a double ended brush, one end is a thin eye shadow brush the other is your typical eye makeup applicator. At first I didn't think I would bother with the brush at all but gave it a go anyway and was pretty surprised at how much I like the soft brush end. I find it especially good for applying colours to the under eye area and for cut crease looks.

Now getting onto the 12 shimmery eye shadows themselves, the colours look awesome! I was a bit disappointed that the 3 reds and pinks didn't actually come out all that bright, they were still nice colours though. On the other hand the blues, purples and greens are super pigmented and what you see is what you get. I love that there is a white, silver and black colour there also, which compliments the other colours quite well. There's hardly any fall our either which is always a bonus. By the end of the day (after 12 hours normally) there's a wee bit of smudging and colour fade but nothing that would make me stop using these eye shadows.

I'm looking forward to trying out the other palettes, will definitely be investing in the Nudes next!

LA girl is fast becoming popular cosmetic brand. I never thought much of this brand, but I've noticed it more on social media. When I saw these palettes up for trial I really wanted to be on that trial. I don't own many palettes at all, so I wanted to grow my collection by purchasing this one. Also if it's on Beauty Review it must be good right?

This palette comes in this cardboard holder, its quite thick too. It has a clear window so you can visibly see the eye shadows. I opened it up on the lid is this rectangular mirror on it. This comes with a double ended applicator with a brush at one end and a sponge at the other end. There's twelve colours in this palette. These colours are along the Purple colour palette.

On application, these require building the colour up. I notice the lighter colours in this palette are quite opaque compared to the darker colours. I enjoy using the dark colours to create smoky eyes. I managed to get my palette on sale at The Warehouse for $7 dollars. I think for its price range it's definitely worth it's amount. The shadows aren't very pigmented but they still get the job done. UPDATE: I wouldn't buy these again. Too much fall out. Light colours were chalky.

This palette has surprised me so much! It is currently my go to palette as its perfect for everyday use. There is a good mixture of mattes and shimmers.

I brought this palette as a cheap one to take away on holiday with me, that had a range of pink/purple/blue-ish shades as well as a few dark and light to shadow and highlight. I felt like it gave me the whole spectrum of colours for an everday look.

I find the palette easy to use and the colours are placed quite intuitvely from light to dark.

The colours are reasonably pigmented but can be built up a bit.

I find the eyeshadow lasts all day, but if I was going out for the night I would want to reapply it because it does look well worn.

So a cheap and cheerful palette, that will do the trick, but you could find something with higher quality.

I purchased this in both the nude and the purple (ultra) and I think that they're pretty darn good. For me the colour stayed on all day (usual prep/prime/finish routine) didn't crease and blended relatively well.

I got these on a buy one get one half price so didn't expect miracles but to be fair I felt that they were better than some of the more expensive brands multi colour kits.

I think that these are great if you're unsure of what colours you want/or what colours suit. Also great to experiment with a variety without breaking the bank. Will I repurchase? Hmmm probably not, but only because I will always have a soft spot for Mac eyeshadows and this was already surplus to requirements. A great cheap palette.

Received this product as part of a trial team, and I must say I was super excited to review it. I chose the smokey palette. With 12 gorgeous shades to mix and match, this is definitely a must have for any girls makeup collection. I like that it has a handy little mirror on the inside of the palette for out and about applications, and it came with a double ended applicator, with a sponge and brush tip (though I did not use this to apply, I used my carousel duo eyeshadow brushes). All the shades are extremely pigmented and quite buildable. They blend together seamlessly which is great for people who haven't quite mastered the smokey eye look yet. I wore this eyeshadow to my course twice this week, and it wore quite well, think it would last alot longer with an eyeshadow primer though. Overall I love this product, I would definitely buy it and I'm probably going to go out and buy the other palettes in this set!
