Ang lol Cosmetics (stylized with all lowercase name) ay una kong nakita in 2013 sa Cubao. After work, napadaan lang ako and checked them out. Their products look to be priced for the teens market, but they also cater to those like me who are in their 30s. Here is the lol Cosmetics Graduated Eyeshadow in 'Ivy Missed You'. They have another design that looks like mosaic pattern, thus 'graduated' was to distinguish the products.
Back in 2013, nabili ko ito for 139 Pesos only, it's now 179 Pesos in 2019. Packaging is reasonably attractive considering the low price point. I wish it was easier to open because the know is hard to grip. It comes in 6 variants, all metallic finish: Midnight Dreaming (Greys), From Paris with Love (Pinks), Why is the Sky Blue (Blues), Indi Go Girl (Purples), Ivy Missed You (Greens), See a Penny (Earth).
The one I have is 'Ivy Missed You', the colors are pigmented and last very long even without a primer and looks beautiful until the end of the day. The metallic texture is very shiny and a bit distracting for work or school; it is more suited for parties, dates and events. But hey, nobody's stopping you if you want to.
Kahit tumaas na yung price in 2019, it's still a very worthy product!
