I have 4 of these palletes in Tease, Darling, Wildflowers, and Carnival. I've already posted reviews for Tease, Darling, and Carnival, but there isnt a review thread for Wildflowers. Wildflowers is very pretty. The yellow and orange are nothing new, as they are also in Tease. The red is VERY well pigmented.It's pretty. The burgundy colour is the absolute best in this product. It is so pigmented and very very very gorgeous. The purple is okay, just not as unique as some of the others! Very nice pallete, would definitely repurchase! :)

oMg!! if you all havent tried at least one of these palettes- RUN TO THE STORE NOW! if you are a fan of say the CS Shimmer Palettes, then def pick these up- if you love great pigmented colorful shadows, pick these up! if you love affordable cheap cruelty free makeup-pick these up!!
I have around 7 of these palettes now & hope to one day own em all! i love each one so much. some more than others bc im a more neutral girl! so Tea Time, Desert Dune are at the top of my favs. Ammunition is def a great smoky palette! but i truly enjoy every single one, not one do i dislike!
PRICE/AVAILABILITY- this palettes will cost you around $1-3 depending on where you pick them up & area. I can purchase LA Colors 5 Color Metallic Palettes at Dollar General, Family Dollar, Cherry Culture, 5 Below, and some have said i think Wet Seal?
SHADE/FORMULA- overall, the shade selection is wonderful!! they have gorgeous bright pop colors or neutral & smoky shades. each palette has 5 coordinating shades that could be used together or each one seperately. Now all 5 shadows do have a metallic finish hence, the name but what i really love about these is that the further down in the shadow you get, the less shimmer is in it- i know the very top layer has a heavy shimmer to it but trust me, the further into the shadow, the less shimmer there is. they do end up having a sheen and less of a metallic. some shades do stay more metallic than others. i have made it pretty far into my 1st Metallic palette which is Tea Time- a great neutral palette that i reach for alot and most of them contain little to almost no shimmer to them the further down which i tend to like about it. but then some do keep the metallic sheen to them. the formula & pigmentation is amazing! These are all SO PIGMENTED!!! way better than alot of shadows ive tried- yes even better than my coastal scents palettes- im glad i didnt buy the metal mania palette bc these are way better and this way i can buy any shades i want. & i know theyll be even better! they are packed well, they apply to the skin wonderfully & the shadows themselves are super soft but not too soft since i have not experienced much fall out with these which is great! i love how soft these are!
PACKAGING- i love the simple packaging. its not the prettiest but its practical. they are a rectangular palette with a see thru hard plastic snap close lid w/ the LA COLORS logo and then on the gloss black back there is the labeling w/ shade name. i like how the shadows inside are on a glossy black square & the shadows themselves are round which are a little bigger than a dime probably closer to a nickel size. so you do get plenty of shadow bc the pan runs deep bc i thought they were a thin pan but ive used Tea Time for over a year quite a bit & havent hit pan on any of them. I may depot these at some point just to make room for my makeup & so that i have em all together so i may reach for them more often. ive seen a really cool tutorial on youtube on how to make your own palettes so i may just do that. i like the packaging. its sturdy & small enough to take with you & i took one w/ me on vacation & not one got broke or came loose. its sturdy hard plastic. it also comes with a double ended foam applicator which is pretty decent.
i will add pictures of the palettes i own & swatch them so people can see just how amazing these palettes are! i really love these palettes & wish more people would give em a shot- if you like the coastal scents palettes or shadows along those lines or just a eyeshadow/makeup collector/addict like myself- these are wonderful to own & use. i def put them to work. whats also great it that i use the neutral ones alot but also the more colorful ones i can use and buy without worrying about paying so much for a bright pink or blue shadow i may only use a few times that year these give you the opportunity to use colors like that. i will def repurchase over & over again. i hope LA COLORS never d/c's these & actually hope they bring out more & more- i hopefully will own all of them someday but i can only find a few around my area. i may have to order some online. i love these little guys! amazing! continued >>

I just bought my second of these palettes and I LOVE it! I had wine and roses (I think) and I love that one, and I just bought Mesmerize. It has a medium golden beige, a mid tone green purple and blue, and a gunmetal colour. They are all pigmented and awesomely shimmery without any glitter or chunks. They blend well and stay on well with a primer underneath too! ( I use elf mineral e/s primer). I love these palettes :) You should totally try them!!

5 metallic eyeshadows in Tea Time. shimmers in light peach,sand,taupe,4th color looks really similiar to the 2nd one,a brown with purple undertones. My favorite combo is the first shade and last shade.throw away the foam brush. Cheap plasitic packaging. these eyeshadows are worth having in your collection.

I have a bunch of the 5 color palette and just recently bought the 50 (or something like that) palette at rite aid. though rite aid doesn't carry the line, it just sells this one item. and i LOVE it. i really may never buy expensive makeup again!!!
a note to those who say there is no lasting quality.. USE PRIMER!! primer is a beautiful thing. my fav right now is nyx in pearl white. i even soometimes uses nyxs milk pencil under the eyshadows to make them even brighter!
the colors are beautiful, most brands don't make the bright, bold ones. i really have no complaints!

These shadows are pretty amazing. They are inexpensive and very pigmented. They come in a range of colors as well. The palettes that i happen to own are Darling, Ammunition, lollipop, and wild flowers. I love all them very much. They are all metallic and blend quite well. Of the ones that I own my favorite is Ammunition. I use it for a quick smokey eye most of the time and it comes out great everytime and since there is five colors it gives a little bit to play around with and create a few different looks. I think all around that these a great value and would recommend these to you.. Got mine at cherryculture.com

I have these in every, color along with the 12 and 6 color palettes. I recently found the entire line at the dollar store for ( of course) $1 each and bought every color. They are fabulous, silky smooth application, the matte colors are so pretty and the shimmers are not overboard but highly wearable even for someone my age (48). I spent less for all these palettes than I have previously spent for 1 shadow from other HE brands and am much more pleased with the product.

I love these little babies, they're great value for a DS brand, and because they're so inexpensive, I can afford to play around with them. My favourites are Gold Rush, Desert Dune, Tea Time, Enchanted and Unforgettable. They're long lasting, versatile and colourful, and the only gripe I have is that they're unavailable in the UK (I have to buy them online from the US).
I'm glad I discovered this brand :)

I love this palette! I got it at Your Dollar Store with more in Vancouver (Canada) for $3.00 before I almost was going to get some from cherryculture.com. I have it in...wait...let me check...(hehehe) Wine and Roses, which is an assortment of pinks, with a white pink, a beige pink, some purple-y color, a basic pink and a coral like pink. This was perfect for me because I have spent ages looking for a perfect inexpensive palette of pink eyeshadow. I have recently in the late of last year become interested in makeup so a lot of my pocket money has been saved and spent on various cosmetics. I was a little worried about using a dollar store eyeshadow but there were so many rave reviews so I was like- what the hay, I'll try it. (I have only tried high end palettes previously but for my budget I'm scaling down to some more drugstore and dollar store products.) I smeared my finger sover the shadows to get a test of pigment. These shadows are chock full! Even better then me Sephora palettes! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! They are true to the color in the packaging (which is a downside. really hard to open, and probably easily breakable.) with primer and very close if you use it without. I'll post on update on the wearing time without primer later. But so far I love this palette and will buy maybe Enchanted, Tease, Tea Time, Wildflowers or Tranquil.

I bought this in Tea Time for about $2.00 and I love it! These shadows are smooth, silky and easy to work with. They're very shimmery but I don't mind that. Great quality for the price!

I found this at Stitches for $1.99, and they had a sale on everything for buy one get one for a dollar, so I bought all four for like $6. The first day I wore the gold and purple together and people kept asking me where I got it. It's gorgeously pigmented and super vibrant if you use a primer (I use Gosh). I love the colours and though I usually try to stay away from shimmer, these have just the right amount to make it look nicely metallic, but not over the top. They're similar to, but better than HiP by L'oreal and only a fraction of the price. Love love love them :).

These colors are so gorgeous. I purchased it in Tea Time--which seems to be pretty popular--and it includes various neutral shimmery golds ranging from bronze and copper to orange-gold and sepia. The colors go on smoothly with the appropriate eyeshadow brush and blend well with little fallout. They stay on reasonably well but at the same time are quite sheer and shimmery, so they won't really work for a dramatic look.

I purchased this in Tea Time from Dollar General for $1.50 (USD). I wasn't expecting much from such a cheap product. The shadows are not chalky (L'Oreal, some of them and HE like Lancome or Estee Lauder - at least for me.) These are greatly pigmented and nice and silky. I will buy these again and this will be a palette I will reach for to wear frequently, which I got in Tea Time. It's a nice neutral pallette and I will wear this daily for work.

I have this palette in WILDFLOWERS. These colors are beautiful. All the colors in the palette are better than some MAC palettes that I have purchased (see my review on In the Gallery Quad). The colors appear very glittery and shimmery on the palette but I can assure you that they do not look like that on the eyelids. The glitter/shimmer seem to fade which reminds me alot of how some of my NARS eyeshadows apply. The colors are very soft, not as buttery as mid to higher end brands but very blendable and the color pay-off is excellent. These colors are excellent for spring.

I bought this in Soiree. I love the colours when I apply it wet - totally vibrant, but when I use it dry it's very pale, which works out well as a day look. I like the brush that comes with it, too. It's loads better than the brushes that normally come with such inexpensive makeup. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 was because of the staying power. It really doesn't last that long no matter what I do, and I need to reapply every few hours. That being said, it cost me around $3 for five awesome colours, so I'll definitely be buying it again.

BES430/Tea Time....I picked this up @ Dollar general for 1.50. Shades include a peachy gold (most pigmented shade in the palette, imo), pale taupe, light golden brown, cool greyish-brown, and medium golden brown. I also have the Darling palette, but I much prefer Tea Time. A great value w/ decent pigmentation (better than many d/s brands) and plenty of product for your money. My only complaint is, as everyone has mentioned, the shimmer simply wipes away after one use. I personally like shimmery shadows and that is what initially attracted me to these palettes (I bought them before reading reviews). Highly recommend this to those who just love e/s and want to add to their collection, or anyone looking for a simple, inexpensive neutral palette.
