L.A Girl Glazed Lip Paint Swatch (On pigmented lips)

Hello Everyone,

Getting back to blogging and video making. It's almost impossible to do what I enjoy doing with young kids. That's motherhood I suppose. Anyway here is a swatch video on the L.A Girls Glazed Lip Paint  that I recorded months ago and finally got to edit and post on my Youtube channel (Link HERE). Below are photos with the lip paint on my pigmented lips.


Babydoll
Blushing
Bombshell
Coy
Daring
Elude
Feisty
Gleam
Hot Mess
Peony
Pin-Up
Seduce
Tango
Tease
Tempt
Whimsical
Whisper *
Flirt*

These above mentioned are the 18 Glazed Lip Paints that L.A Girl carry. I liked all of them except for the two which I have indicated with an asterisk *. They wore comfortably on my lips without feeling sticky. They did last for about 4 hours without a need for touchup however I did not eat nor drink during this time. They are pigmented but do not compare with OCC lip tars as other bloggers claim. They did bleed over my lips when I wore them without a lip liner. For the price point, I feel it was worth getting all of them as I love changing my lip colour on a daily basis. My two favourites are Coy and Pin up. Hope you find this review useful. Thank you for coming by.

Update| Birth of my 2nd son, life and other goodies

Guess who is back! Yay, it's me! I was pregnant and gave birth on the 26 January to my love son Michael. Born at 9:38pm, weighing 3.5kg at Union Hospital Hong Kong. Had a great OB Dr Chueng Kai Bun who was very professional in the whole delivery process. Could not have ask for more as everything went very smoothly.


I was worried that my firstborn would be jealous and create havoc. Fortunately, he bonded with his little brother from day one. However, he does show some form of jealousy towards us parents. Which I think is normal. It is getting better with time.


These guys are the apples of my eye! My little family. Finally!

It is busy times for me as you can imagine. Luckily I have a great helper/nanny who helps me whenever I need a breather. Can't thank you enough!


Life is good. Am focusing on getting back to shape and doing things I enjoyed before such as YouTube videos, blogging, fashion drawing, etc...


My beautiful family! Who would have thought I would have this today! 😊
