L.A. Colors Moisture Lipstick in Black Velvet - Lipstick Swatch + Review
Hi!
I purchased an L.A. Colors Moisture Lipstick in Black Velvet from a bargain shop at Parramatta.
I bought it for fun since I've never had a lipstick before and thought $2.50 wouldn't hurt even if it was bad quality..
I saw this brand show up often while shopping on CherryCulture as they have quite a range of nail polishes and eyeshadows!
I was playing with the lipstick before and was in a rush to leave the house that I put the wrong cap on the lipstick which squash it :(
So now it's flat and ugly.
I was copying Lady Gaga's look in a music video:
Don't my lips look teensy! I applied it with a lip brush.
It was so much more pigmented than I expected!
Swatches are riggidy because of my squashed lipstick hehe.

Scent
Packaging

Notes:
Since it was $2.50 at a bargain store I bet it's less than half the price in America! I've also seen L.A. Colors Lipsticks at many bargain stores, just keep your eye out at the counter!
Also, I only put the smell as a con because I don't like scented lipsticks, they make me feel gross.
This lipstick sort of smells Vanilla-ish... But I can bear it.
In my personal opinion I think that the packaging is tacky. I have another one in this sort of packaging and I ruined the top for that one too!
Product: 3.5/5
Packaging: 2/5
Quality: 4/5
Price:
Asian bargain stores @ $2.50
Cherry Culture @ $2.00
Would I recommend this product?
Yes! If you don't mind the packaging and scent.. why not?
It's not often you find such a cheap lipstick!
Would I repurchase?
If there's a shade that L.A. Colors has that I'm not willing to buy else where then yes!
The packaging is really annoying and kind of unattractive so I'd rather not.
Thank you for reading!
