Every now and then, it is interesting to see what makeup products are available at the dollar store. Since the price of everything seems to be steadily increasing, finding beauty items that are decent and affordable will always be a win. With a cost of about $1.50 CDN for each blush and eyeshadow palette, these items from L.A. Colors certainly excelled as far as affordability. As for quality, that was something I was eager to find out. It was time to test some dollar store makeup items.
L.A. Colors Blush in Toast and Berry Plum. I have had a positive experience with a blush from L.A. Colors in the past. Back in 2024, there was a bright pink blush in the shade Sweet Cheeks that wowed. The colour was beautiful and it was nicely pigmented. Recalling that positive experience, it made sense to see if some of the other blush shades from the brand performed well. I chose the shades Toast and Berry Plum. Toast is a warm peachy pink with a bit of shimmer and Berry Plum is a warm berry matte. The packaging is cheap and flimsy, but I appreciate that this comes with a small brush applicator. Even though the packaging is nothing to write home about, the product inside is impressive. These are nicely pigmented and easy to blend. I especially love the Berry Plum colour. I have a feeling it will be worn often once the fall season rolls around.
L.A. Colors Eyeshadow Palette in Lucky. Next is a small eyeshadow palette with six eyeshadow shades. This one is called Lucky, likely because of the green colours, but there were some other options at the dollar store as well. Like the blush packaging, this is fairly flimsy, but I do appreciate the green base and the double sided sponge applicator that is included. There are some hits and misses in this little eyeshadow palette. All three eyeshadows on the top row are beautiful, shimmery, and nicely pigmented. However, the light gold eyeshadow on the bottom row doesn't do too much. It is unfortunately much weaker than the rest. Overall, this is a nice little eyeshadow palette, especially for the price, but there are only shimmer shades. I happen to love all that sparkles and shimmers, but if you are someone who prefers matte eyeshadows, then this will not be something to add to your collection. My favourite eyeshadows from this set are the first two in the top row. There is a beautiful shimmery champagne colour and a rich forest green. It is nice to know it is possible to create a colourful makeup look for less.
All of these dollar store items were used to create the look shown above. The eyeshadows have lots of shimmer and a nice amount of colour. The blushes can be worn alone or together for a more intense look. It is nice to know that impressive beauty products are within reach, even on a budget. Everyone deserves the opportunity to express themselves through makeup if they so choose! Makeup inspires creativity - and these dollar store items ensure that this form of self expression is accessible.
