Honestly, LA Colors does suck in my opinion that's why I don't use that brand. The price is about the same as ELF's products but I would say ELF is way better (for me). You pay for what you get, from the price and quality. I always use ELF's $3 moisturizer, $3 blush and bronzer, $3 powder brush, $3 eyebrow kit, $1 liquid eyeliner and I absolutely love them all. I've tried many of their products and I can truly say they're amazing but I just stick to the usuals as the ones I just named. You can always read reviews of their products also - they're mainly accurate. Hope that helped :)
