LA Girl Palette Review

After I saw the product up for trial on BR and not having any other palettes I set out to purchase this one as its a great price for a 12 colour palette.

It has nice simple packaging with a little magnet to keep it shut. It also come with a double end brush/sponge, was good to see a brush in there as a lot of eye shadows only come with the sponge.

I have the Smokey palette and the colours are super pretty. Not as pigmented as I thought they were going to be so you have to build it up a bit. No smell to them at all.

What let this down a little for me was after a few hours wear it did seem to go to the creases and not look so great, this may be fixed with a really good primer,(which I will try, haven't needed it with other eye shadows though).

When I first saw these palettes online the person selling them seemed to have trouble getting people to buy them. That paired with the fact that Tati used the Smokey palette and didn't love it, I was totally put off of these. I thought they would never work.

Then she popped one into my order because she knows how much I love eyeshadow palettes. I'd also seen these go out as trials here on BR so I already knew I wanted to try the Ultra palette, if I had to try one.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the palette. I collect eyeshadows so I have a wide range of qualities when it comes to eyeshadows and these are pretty great. Not high end quality, and for the price, who can expect that? But really quite good. The Ultra palette is full of pretty purple toned shades with a few neutrals thrown in. For me personally I do need to grab a matte, mid toned brown to throw in the crease as a transition shade because of the lack of mattes in this particular palette, but overall I do love it. The purples are stunning and it's definitely a cool toned palette and even using it for a pop of purple when using an entirely neutral palette is really fun.

I feel like with this little range there is a palette for everyone, whether you love bright looks, bold looks, neutral looks... I'm psyched to buy more of these honestly. I think for the price, you're getting pretty wonderful quality. I am intent on owning all four.

I wanted a more natural looking colour range so after seeing this online I decided to buy it as it definitely looked value for money with all those gorgeous colours in the palette.I was pleasantly surprised when I opened up the palette to find 12 gorgeous shades to make my eyes pop!...The colours are dark and earthy,very natural looking to add a splash of colour to your lids and contouring and lighter colours to highlight with and a double ended brush,one end to apply shadow with and the other end to smudge and contour.I love how the palette is easy to open,just flips up and there is a handy mirror inside of the lid.The shadow stays put all day,doesn't crease and has a nice subtle shimmer to it, there are also matte colours.I think this is a great range of eyeshadows and very affordable and I will definitely be purchasing more in different colours next time.

The LA Girl Nude beauty brick palette comes in a simple yet sturdy lightweight glossy cardboard exterior case (which shuts closed nicely due to a small magnet contraption inside the lid) with a plastic/harder interior which holds the actual eyeshadows (I hope that makes sense lol) . It contains 12 eyeshadows, a small built-in mirror in the lid , and a long double ended brush/sponge applicator.

I've only used the brush end of the applicator and found the bristles to be super soft and sturdy. It didn't feel rough or scratchy against my skin. The brush is a bit on the small / less fluffy side though so I think it's best used to highlight the inner corners of the eye as well as the brow bone rather than been used as a blending brush.

The eye shadows come in 3 matte colours and 9 shimmers. Personally I would have preferred at least 1 or 2 more matte colours. I found that the more buttery/baked textured shimmers had less fallout and was easier to pick up than the more powdery matte colours. However all the colours build up really well and last all day/night long.

Over all I am super super super impressed with this eyeshadow palette. And for the price its a must have in every makeup lovers collection! I will definitely be repurchasing this in the future, along with the other 2 pallets :)

I purchased this as I loved the shade range. I have quite a basic make up routine so have been very excited to create different looks. Packaging is slick black, magnetised case, 12 shades ( 3 matte, 9 glitter). Comes with a duo brush/applicator which I have gotten a lot of use out of.

Very romantic colours, can create lovely romantic/smokey looks. A bit of fall out but not complaining. Quite pigmented. Blends easily. Lasts well. I have a 9 hour work day so it does tend to need a bit of a touch up at the end of the day if heading out in the evening.

This is a great starter palette for someone like myself who is not all that confident with eyeshadows and eye looks. I found a lot of tutorials on Youtube and have been doing a different tutorial everyday. I am quite stoked with this palette and am getting a lot of use out of it. Very keen to repurchase the other three palettes in this range.

I have 1 of these eyeshadow palettes in the nude colours, but I usually only use about 4/5 colours in the palette for every day use. It ha a range of pink, brown and goldish matte colours then there are metallic colours to go with the matte shadows. As well as a dark brown/black colour.

I love this palette but I feel it is not a long lasting wear in the eyeshoadow colours, but I do use the dark brown/black to as a eyebrow filler to enhance my eyebrows which I think works really well.

The price is reasonable and I think you get a good quality product for the price you pay.

Packaging is cute and I would definitely use this product again ♥

I purchased the neons and naturals palettes after giving in over the cheap price and I didn't have a great collection of colourful eyeshadows and I wanted to experiment ! I love the naturals they have just enough pigmentation for my liking for everyday wear and the colours show up nicely, I love lots of the shimmer colours in the palette. I didn't find much use with the neons palette in all honesty, the colours weren't very pigmented for my liking of bright colours they were very subtle. Some colours were more pigmented then others, I found some of the colours chalky and didn't blend out that great or stick to my eyelids even with a primer. I did give away my neons one but kept my naturals palette as I find it's great for travelling since it has a great range of colours.

I brought this because I reply wanted a nude eyeshadow palate and didn't want to spend heaps so I got this, and I must say I haven't bothered buying another because this ones perfect! I looove the colours and they do last all day/night! They blend to easily and nicely and the brush that comes with it is perfect!

I currently own the Ultra Palette, but may be looking to buy more ;) First off the packaging of this palette is nice, sleek and simple. I am a fan of the colour scheme used, as the black and vibrant purple really stands out and makes it easy to find amongst other palettes. On the back of the box there is a suggestion on how and where to apply the eyeshadows, which I thought would be great help for makeup newbies. The interior of the box is nicely laid out, it features a good clear mirror, and there is also magnet which hold the lid in place when closed. The colours are also arranged beautifully, there is a nice transition between colour groups. Now on to the application. Well firstly there is a difference between the ways the colours look in the pan and on, and the colours are relatively sheer but are definitely buildable. However I strongly recommend the use of an eyeshadow base, I personally found the Maybelline Colour Tattoo eyeshadows in shade 05 or 70 worked particularly well and made the LA Girl shades vibrant and long lasting. Without the base eyeshadows the LA Girl colours wore off rather quickly. The colours within the Ultra palette are quite universal as all eye colours suit purples, and there is a range of cool and warm tones. All of the colours are shimmery, but can be mixed with neutral mattes to tone them done. This has swiftly become one of my everyday palettes as they add a nice pop of colour to my usual makeup routine. Overall I recommend this palette and believe it’s definitely bang for your buck.

Neon love is my life. I live for bright colours and this Neon Palette packs a punch! You options are limitless with a neon rainbow at your disposal. I went straight for the orange and lime with white corner highlights - Love it! The colours are bright but you can easily blend them out more for a more subtle look. I also love the packaging, its super cute, but seems like it would travel around in my purse well too.... and it had a great little brush which is all I used to do my eye makeup today.
