Need some quick responses ladies!  Are her products great?  I like the today only blush, highlight & lip trio (A-488548).  I'm seriously thinking of trying it.

 

YAY or NAY?

I've been using her products for a long time, especially balance and brighten and her eye liners and shadows.  I even had my wedding makeup done by one of her assistants.

Oh my goodness @SurferWife - this is one of my favorites! 

One of the first products I bought after "finding" QVC on TV was Blush &Brighten in Pink Grapefruit. I loved it! Later I watched her demonstrate Balance & Brighten and bought that. I have a lot of her products.

 

 

She did sell her company years ago, and the first owner took it in a different direction. The third and current owner wants to go back to the products that made us all love LG in the first place. 

 

I'm sure others will chime in. I have a lot, so if you have any questions about any of the products, let me know!

 

I think you should try the TSV!  Smiley Happy

@beach-mom 

Thanks for the feedback!  I really want to try the blush, but the TSV interests me, too!  I think the One Time only blush trio (with lipstick & blush brush) may sell out by the time I wake up in the morning, so I should probably go ahead & order it.  For that matter, I should probably order the TSV now, too, or they may be out of the Light by the time I wake up.

I love the things which I have purchased!  B&B is a staple in my makeup wardrobe.  I think the primers are good.  I also have a couple of the marbled lipsticks which I think are wonderful.  I recently ordered the baked silk blurring powder but have not received it yet.  I have liked everything I have purchased.  She has sales on her site quite often, too!    I say - go for it!

@SurferWife - you may have already purchased the TSV but wanted to chime in.  I love the BnB.  Haven't tried the other product in the TSV though.  Lately I'd gotten away from using the BnB and was using liquid foundations but all week I've been using the BnB and realized - again - how much I love it.  Its easy - esp on mornings when I'm going into the office - and looks great on my combo skin.  Have one of her blushes, Pink Buttercream - and use that a lot.  Her kabuki brush for the BnB is the only brush I use with that product.  Her website is having a sale so if you need one of the brushes, you might want to check there.

 

Her kajal eyeliners are great too.  I say go ahead and try it!  Hope you like whatever you purchase - the kit you mentioned or the TSV.

Her kajal eyeliners are the best I've ever used. Both muted and vibrant colors available and they stay put (I work outside in high heat and humidity and they don't budge). Despite their long wear, they go on very smooth--no tugging.

I love most of Laura's products--I've used up countless compacts of Balance & Brighten. I'm fairly new to Balance & Glow, but I like it, too--just gives the slightest glow to my eye, no shimmer or glitter.

 

Most of her highlighters are really good--the only ones I don't care for are the Gelato ones, too shimmery.

 

Her eyeshadows are wonderful and last a long time for me. I would've bought the palette presented today, but I have her Vanity Favorites, and just didn't need it.

 

Her blushes are ALL I use, they go on easily and last all day...it's hard to hit pan on those compacts, they last sooooo long! I ordered the split pan presented today.

 

I also ordered the Italian Marble lipsticks...I tried these years ago, and just didn't care for them. But I ordered a single last year and really liked it--maybe the formula changed, I don't know. So I thought I'd give these a try!

Here is what i dont like about her products, the packaging is awful mirrors fall out, powder pans fall out, her shadows have tons of fallout and her foundation powders are full of talc. Sorry, but there is a downside to Laura's products.

@Shelbelle I know there are lots of complaints about the packaging, but in all the years I've used LG products never, ever have I had a compact break, a mirror or pan fall out, or anything like that, even though I've occasionally dropped them. 

 

I do use a shadow primer (Urban Decay), so no shadow fallout for me. Talc isn't something I worry about, though I know others do. 

 

Not judging or criticizing--we all have our opinions--just wanted to give another side.
