LA colors palette in Urban

Costs $1




It does contain shimmer as you can see above. However, I find that it's TOO shimmery/satiny for everyday (or at least for the more colorful parts of this palette). Let's look at the swatches below.

Under florescent lighting





Under natural lighting







Pros:
~ Color choices are very nice, you can go for a neutral look or a colorful look with this palette
~ They have a nice satin finish, however it can also be considered very shimmery.
~ It goes on light
~ It can be build able
~ It's small enough for travel

Cons:
~ It goes on lightly
~ Not pigmented when transferred to the lid
~ Shimmery
~ Case is hard to open
~ Sponge applicator comes with does not apply the color well
~ Need a primer if you want it to come up well, or you can apply it wet.
~ No mirror
~ Creases in a short period of time

I think you can make it work, but I don't think it's worth that one dollar for this palette because there are WAY better products for this price!

Recommend?
No! I think you should save your dollar for a better product or another LA colors palette that's better (i heard the neutral one is a lot better) I don't even think this dollar was worth it.

It looks nice in photos (see below for how it looks like on me) though it's shimmery/ contains gold flecks. It's pigmented so apply with a light hand. The bronzer maybe too dark for fair to light medium skin tones.



People compare this to NAR'S Orgasm and Deep throat blush. Though I've heard that it compares more to Deep Throat.

I really like it. I don't see why not. It's pigmented, doesn't streak, fade away (unless you rub it or something), or even make you look like a disco ball in the sun (unless someone looks at your very closely at your cheeks). I like the way it looks in the overhead fluorescent lighting. It brings a nice glow to your face. However, I would apply the blush with a light hand because it is pigmented.
