LG TSV

The TSV seems like a "deal" & nicely packaged for a gift. Lipstick looks a little bright/dark. Like the glow in the foundation. Wish they'd put that in BE original founation. Thoughts on TSV?

I love Laura but her products don't work for me.

I love LG makeup in general, but her mascara and lip products are (for me) nothing special. Balance & Brighten and any of her blushes are wonderful! I like most of her eyeshadows, too.

The lip products and mascara make this TSV not a good deal for me, so I'm passing.

@vermint @bells4me I liked it, but have never used LG. Passed, too.

I was going to pass, but when Laura said that new chandelier blush was the new ethereal rose, I caved in. Based on the demos, the new foundation does not seem to have as opaque of a coverage as the balance and brighten, which is OK with me.

I think LG's products are good but the packaging is less than desirable. I stopped buying her products because the product lasts but the packaging doesn't

I have heard this comment about her packaging sooooo many times. I guess I'm just fortunate that I've never had any of her packaging fail me...and I've been buying from her since she 1st introduced Balance & Brighten. Here's hoping that my luck continues!

I love quite a few of Laura's blushes and I will try her new blush when it arrives in the stores.

LG products don't work for me, Balance and Brighten is too orange, and too drying on my skin. I'm noticing that while LG is applying the Balance and Glow foundation, it is definitely enhancing the (blonde) models pores and (forehead) wrinkles. I could just imagine what the results would be on mature skin. Unless your skin is pretty much flawless and you don't have enlarged pores, iridescent or glow from within foundations are not

your friend, especially on mature skin.

I have very dry skin and her products don't work for me, either.

A few of Laura's newer powders have really impressed me. I purchased from Ulta, and I'm SO NOT a balance'n brighten fan- I find it too chalky, heavy and dry for my skin. I've always loved her blush'n brighten, but I want no additions to my already large collection (medium/tan skintone).

I love her vanilla powder. The case broke on the single version, but I have vanilla in another configuration- so I'm set. Since I'm not a fan of her mascara, eyeliner, etc. I think the TSV is a beautiful presentation. Just not for me.

Even her eyeshadows need to be applied wet to get any pigment- (my experience only!) I still use some of the darker ones for eyeliner with my beloved Paula Dorf angled brush... The eyeshadows I already own are more than enough since I don't use them that often.

For those that go for it.. ENJOY!

I enjoy watching Laura and she seems like a wonderful woman but her products don't work for me either. I've tried more times than I should have and ended up sending them back.

I'm really not a fan of most baked products in general if there are color variations like her balance & brighten or bronze & brighten or split pan shadows because the colors are too inconsistent.

I didn't realize this was LG's Illumination BnB. This one is so well done. No trace of sparkles or glitter. NONE. I already have a compact in Medium, so don't need the kit.

For those interested in the Chandelier Glow blush, that can be easily duped with a matte blush from Milani....gorgeous product for $8 or less.

Milani's version. $7.99 at Target... comes in various shades. This is Tea Rose and not as dark as depicted. The case is sturdier too.
