L.A. Girl StrobeLite Strobing Powder

L.A. Girl is part of Beauty 21 Cosmetics company.  It was started in 1985 and offers quality cosmetics with a "glamours spin on beauty".  L.A. Girl offers products for the beginner to the experienced beauty junkie like myself.  The products are affordable luxury cosmetics ranging in price from $3 to $150.  Products for the eyes; lips; face; nails and beauty accessories are available, from lip liners, matte and metal liquid lipsticks to eyeshadows, to face contour/highlight to get shine nail top coats and polishes to lighted studio train cases.

This is an illuminating powder that adds light to the face and provides dimension.  The powder is soft and silky and I use it to add that bling to the face, cheeks, nose and cupids bow and anywhere else I want to sparkle and shine like a superstar while still having a soft shimmery finish. The product is paraben and fragrance free and available in 12 colors containing 0.19 ozs of product.

The product can be purchased from several places including the following: L.A Girl Website - www.lagirlusa.com, Amazon - www.amazon.com and some local CVS Stores.  I purchased four colors from Amazon for $7.00 each.

The colors purchased are:
20 Watt - this is a a lighter bronzy color with gold iridescent shimmer

50 Watt - this is a tan color with a peach undertone that also contains gold iridescent shimmer

60 Watt - this is a beautiful yellow gold straight shimmer.  This was my absolute favorite.

80 Watt - this is a peachy bronze with gold shimmer

LIKES
GLOW BABY GLOW.  This product makes you glow with luminescent face bling, bling.  It is east to apply and very highly pigmented.  The product when applied catches the light beautifully.  The color selection is also great and the product itself is soft and silky.  If you are like me too much is never enough 💋💋💋💋

DISLIKES:
I do not have anything much in this column other than I wish they were available in my local stores.  I am a junkie that loves to see, hold and when it is available test products and not having them available in local stores does not really do it for me.  

FINAL THOUGHTS:
For the price I paid for this product and the quality of the product and the color range, I would say run out and purchase, purchase, purchase.  My one piece of advice is if you can do research on the price available on the product prior to purchasing as I have seen the prices range from $7.00 to $9.00 each.  Overall I give this product 😻😻😻😻 (4 out of 5 kittens).

Popfeel Wine Liquid Long Wearing Lip Gloss

Popfeel is a long wearing liquid lip gloss that is made in China.  The product contains premium wine extracts from French wines.  The wine extracts provide a stronger, moisturizing and better covering effect.  The collection I purchased is a 6 piece set that offers bold, bright, deep and vibrant colors that are highly pigmented.  The product offers a shiny, waterproof, long lasting finish.  The colors in the collection range from pink to orange to purple to red.

The packaging of the product is amazing.  Each lip gloss is on the shape of a wine bottle.

One swipe offers great coverage, and the coverage can be built up if needed, but is not necessary.  Each "bottle" contains 0.3 ozs of product and I purchased this collection from Amazon for $13.60.  The applicator is a doe foot applicator for precise application and it picks up the right amount of product for each use.

The product did not come with actual names, however the collection I purchased were labeled as follows:

LW1 - Barbie Pink

LW2 - Medium Purple

LW3 - Rose Pink

LW4 - Light Pink

LW5 - Deeper Purple

LW6 - Red

Likes: Love, love, love, love the packaging.  I cannot say enough about how much I LOVE the packaging and the applicator.  The color range provided in the collection was good but not great.  My favorite colors were the LW3 Rose Pink and LW6 Red.  The colors are very vibrant and bold and they are truly waterproof.  

Dislikes: Some of the colors were a bit more drying than the others.  I was not a fan of the two pink colors. The two purple colors were nice based on the actual color and pigmentation, however they were more drying on the lips than the other colors.  

Final Opinion:  I am torn on this product.  I love the packaging and think that it is very innovative and a great conversation piece for us makeup lovers.  The colors are vibrant and the fact that they are waterproof is AMAZING as this means less touch ups during the day.  I did not like the fact that for me some of the colors (3 of the 6) were so very drying on the lips, even when using lip balm or lip oil under the product. If you are a long wearing lip product lover and you do not mind the drying effect, I would say go for it, but if you are like me and not a big fan of the drying effect, I would say you can maybe skip this purchase.  I give this product 😻😻😻 (3 out of 5 kittens).
