We try out the L.A. Girl
Glitter Magic Shimmer Shifting Lip Colors that turn to glitter when you rub
your lips together. We compare them to a another glitter lipstick we've tried
in the past: The Ciaté London Glitter Flip Lipsticks. The L.A. Girl Glitter
Magic Shimmer Shifting Lip Colors are $6 versus Ciaté London Glitter Flip
Lipsticks' $20 price tag. We test the L.A. Girl lipsticks for glitter fallout,
patchiness, and how drying they are.

these are the le girls
glitter magic
shimmer shifting lip colors
they go on
like a regular metallic
liquid lipstick
but once you do this
rubbing your lips
together they transform
into like a
full-on glitter lipstick I
have tried a
product exactly like this
before in the
past and those were the
seotc a London
glitter flip lipsticks
those retail for
$19 but these from la girl
retail for $6
so to me that's a pretty
big difference
for something that
supposedly does the
exact same thing and if
these work I can
definitely see how they
could be a
better dupe for a more
expensive product
I think my experience at
the ciaté one
was kind of 5050 I have
just loved the
color and how it was both
metallic and
glittery but also I found
it just not
very practical to use when
that leave
had to rub your lips
together and get
the glitter it up here and
it would kind
of like flake off the
center of your
mouth or like smudge on
your upper lip
line if this works better
and can give
me that same finish the
same amount of
glitter opacity isn't gonna
budge I
think this will be a
no-brainer winner I
think one of the biggest
takeaways from
the original video with the
ciaté London
lipsticks is that there was
no glitter
fallout anywhere so that's
something
I'll definitely be looking
for with
these this shade is called
champagne
fizz and it's a really
pretty pinky nude
color it's a very like
whipped type of
formula it's like smooth a
little
slippery went a little
overboard please
don't drag me you can
already see some
of that glitter peeking
through a bit
and it also is a little bit
patchy I
just think that the formula
is kind of
thin but other than that I
don't think
it looks terrible how it
looks without
the glitter
this is pre glitter and it looks
pretty
good so it's been about a
minute and the
lipstick feels fully dry on
my mouth it
is a little bit drying but
I don't think
glitter lips sound
particularly
hydrating to begin with
first shade that
I'm gonna test out is
hypnotic and it's
this cool kind of eggplant
II purple
it's not an everyday
lipstick I mean
maybe it is for some people
but for me
personally this would be
like a very
special party or particular
look if
there's a cheaper one that
works well
for something I might use
like a couple
times a year versus paying
like twenty
bucks for something I'm
only gonna use
once or twice it would just
completely
make sense to go with the
cheaper
version I've got about two
layers of
lipstick on so far it looks
and I'm just
gonna wait it out for it to
dry and then
see if it really explodes
with Twitter
I'm gonna rub my lips
together and see
if this stuff is actually
as magical as
it claims to be
did it work oh holy crap
that's so cool
this already has so much
more glitter
than those ciate London ones
they did
not look this glittery at
all
okay you see that it did it
with one
little I really could just
spend a good
chunk of my day looking at
me like my
biggest pet peeve is having
mystery
glitter on my face I really
really
really really really hate glitter
fallout and I can spot
literally like
one lack of glitter on any
person's face
in the room and I think I
am completely
clear so glitter fallout
definitely is
happening right now on the
sides of my
mouth I do see little bits
of glitter
everywhere which is
definitely a
negative for me but this
looks really
good it's not the easiest
to take off I
mean this is crazy because
clearly
there's a ton of product
that just came
off this wipe but it's
still like
completely opaque on my
lips right now
it just kind of like
activated more of
the glitter I guess it's
probably a good
thing because this means
like this lip
isn't budging anywhere on
you when
you're wearing it during
the day so that
first lipstick was really
cute I really
liked it but cleanup is a
lot more
difficult than I
anticipated and you can
see on my lips right now I
have a ton of
glitter left over all
around my mouth
and on my chin so that's a
big note for
me but I really want to try
out this
next color
it's called busy fuchsia
and it's
supposed to be like a very
bright
metallic pink and this one
is called
starry night this is
definitely applying
a lot more nicely it has
the same good
texture but it's much more
it means eeeh
that's already kind of
coming off which
is the same issue I had
with the Fiat a
formula that maybe not love
it so I'm
okay here we go test to rub
whoa this
one is definitely a bit
more subtle but
you can really see that
glitter there
it's really cute I think
that I like the
first one a lot more just
because the
glitter on that one was
shocking this
one you kind of have to
stare a little
longer to see it oh my god
I just felt like you know
when you get
glue on your fingers and
you
accidentally stick them
together then
you have to rip them apart
no oh and
look I just got this formula
as good as
it works with this whole
glitter reveal
thing it is drying very
very drying and
it feels a little gritty on
my mouth
which it's not my favorite
but the
effect that these have are
so good the
major difference between
these and the
ciate London glitter flips
is that these
shed and have a lot of
fallout way more
than those did but for six
bucks I still
think it's a pretty good
deal I would
definitely buy these and
try out more
colors they're just really
fun and
they're really pretty and
they are six
bucks so what is the harm
in picking one
up playing around a bit
seeing you know
what the best way to wear
it is ten out
of ten times reach for the
LA girl ones
over the ciate really price
is a huge
factor here for me I think
when it comes
down to it yes the LA girl
ones weren't
perfect you had to
either apply two layers or
the payment
would just lift from your
lips as you're
trying to get the glitter
to come
through but that's exactly
the same
issues I had at those CIA
ones and the
scouter ones are three
times the price
