I love Laura G  and have many of her products.   But I like to buy them directly from her website,  they are packaged better.

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 fallou and her foundation powders are full of talc. Sorry, but there is a downside to Laura's products. 


I admit to ordering many of Laura's products over the years based on my liking her personality when she does presentations. I found the packaging not to my liking and the products after a few weeks never lived up to the hype. The powder foundations ended up giving me an eczema like rash...probably from the mica. The lipsticks never stayed on for more than an hour and the eye pencils and mascara smeared. 😢🙁

She uses talc in all of her powder products. I have nothing against talc except I don't like it in my cosmetics. It dries my skin terribly and makes me look older.

I didn't know that Silleemee     I don't want to use talc either.

I have tried many times with her foundations, Balance & Brighten, Double Take, etc--they do not provide the coverage that I feel is wanted at all.

Do like her eyeliners and blush-that's about all I can do in her line.

I think Laurais great and a sweetie, but honestly I get no color payoff from her products. No coverage at all from BnB and only little color from blushes, so I think her quality has changed.
The older products I have from her have more pigment-

Nothing against her personally, but some of the few things I've tried are sub par. I agree, the shadows have a lot of fallout, the kajal pencils & lip colors have no staying power like other brands do, and the new silk powder is not silky at all.

 

I do really like her Ethereal Rose, though!

Her liners are the best ever. I use her Balance and Brighten in the hot summer months, her Bronze and Brighten is used often in my bronzer rotation!

I love Laura.  Her prooducts are good.  They do have ingredients that some people don't like-- aka talc.  But I don't seem to have a problem with talc.  So I don't know why some don't like ... Any hoo... her website is a grea resource for deals.

Laura's products are better than great! The marbled lipsticks are fabulous and the best I've ever used. I use/have used her Balance N Brighten foundation and it's perfect. And I've used her Blush for years. Regarding the packaging....as I said, I've used her products for years and have never once had a problem with a product - never once!
