FOTD: Southern Belle Grovin'

Hello Beauties,

I hope all is well. Today's look is featuring a brand that many would look pass and not give the time of day because it is found in most $1 stores; namely it is known as L.A. Colors. If you are familiar with my blog, you will know that I don't discriminate any brand of makeup, as long as it as some color to it and doesn't say "not safe for eye" then I will make it work.
L.A. Colors eyeshadows have been improving in quality over the years. There eyeshadows are becoming more pigmented and not so chalky but rather smooth in texture. Now too much chatter, unto to the look and of course I had to do a tutorial to this look. Just remember all you need is a decent eye primer/ base and you can rock out any inexpensive brand makeup.

  1. Wow, this is so pretty! I feel like even when I do wear a primer, my eyeshadow only last a few hours and its not near as bright as yours.

    1. With these shadows, you need the primer and a base. The L.A. Color bases are awesome to work with these shadows and other brand eyeshadows too. Thank you sweetie. :)
