Lorac Pro 3

Lorac Pro 3

I've been away from this blog for way too long.  Mostly because I didn't have a digital camera but now thanks  to my awesome boyfriend I have one now.  I thought I would start back by adding some first impression type swatches of the Lorac Pro 3 since I haven't seen much on the internet about this palette. I was able to pick it up early for being a platinum member at Ulta.

I'm spare you from a bunch of rambling from me and just mention I'm loving all the shades of brown and gold.  First glance this palette may seem boring but its far from that.  Each shade is highly pigmented with a swipe or two.  My only compliant is the lighter shades didn't show up well on my tanish skin (I'm NW20 fair when not summer time but around mid range of medium now) so this might not be the best palette for darker women, however you may be able to use these for bases etc (I know holly run on batman)

Mini Behind the Scenes primer included.

On to the swatches!!  You'll see the lighter shades didn't show up on my hand.


Blanc, Canvas and Cool Taupe.

 Pink Nude, Clay and Terracotta.

Dk Brown and Jet Black (this black is so pigmented!!! Not the best swatch, sorry).

Lt Gold, Almond Peral and Medallion.

Lt Pewter, Amethyst, Rose Bronze.

Dk. Mocha and Truffle.

 I've been so excited to play with my new digital camera and start blogging again I haven't even tried these on my eyes yet. More later once I've done that. I hope you enjoy the swatches.  Let me know what you think if you decide to pick it up.

Thanks for looking.

Lorac Dazzling Dozen Eye Shadow Collection

Ulta has an exclusive 12 shadow collection for $35 (valued at $228).  Its definitely an awesome deal with sparkle, shimmer, and matte shadows.  My favorite part the sparkle shadows are gorgeous but the fallout isn't as bad as some of the other prestige brands. I'm still playing with these so I'll try to give a more in-depth review later on. 

All of them together.  

                                          Different lighting to show off the shades

 In no particular order the swatches:

 With flash trying to capture he color. I'm not sure I could pull this off on my lid but will try it as a liner.

 

 

 

 

 

Final Thoughts:

I've been wearing these shadows every day since I got them on Sunday.  So far I'm very impressed with their staying power, I've been wearing them over Too Faced Shadow Insurance but I still think they have better staying power than other shadows I've tried. I'm looking forward to playing with them more.  Even if you don't love all of the colors it's totally worth it to get this kit.  I especially love that there is a greenish/blue color since that's been my think lately and several neutrals.


Thanks for reading :)

Lorac GLOgetter Palette

Lorac GLOgetter Palette

Available exclusively at Ulta for $20

Packaging 

Sorry for the reflection, such a cute package. I love that the writing is mint green.

In my hand to show size comparison--I've noticed some having a question on this.

I love that it includes a mirror and as you can see the eye shadows are go sized.

Both pictures are without flash just from different angles to show the true colors.

Swatches:

No primmer--on my bare hand 

 This is my favorite by far---I admit I bought the palette for this one. It is  mint green with gold glitter. I LOVE this! I'm on a huge mint green kick this season.

 This is much lighter than it looks in palette-I like that because this is much more wearable for me than a super dark purple.

Bottom high light shadows:

Bottom Left

Bottom Right 

                                                              Bottom Left     Bottom Right

** High light shades not included on group swatches**

Out on my front porch to give another lighting perspective.  Sorry that I did them out of order, at the bottom is the far left in the palette. 

Bottom of my arm is far left in palette.

Bottom is the 5th from the left of the palette .

This is a "quick and dirty" look at the palette.  I just got it today and was so excited to play in it.  This is my first Lorac product and so far I'm very impressed.  Very good color payoff and I didn't notice any fallout from the glitter shadows.  Ill be wearing out tomorrow so I"ll report back then.

 Play around with on my eyes (UD primmer potion used) 

**Please ignore that it's a bit messy on the eyeshadow looks, as mentioned above this is  "quick and dirty" so I didn't clean up around my eyes. **

 This is my favorite shade---Its second from right in the palette.  Really pretty mint green color with gold flakes. I love it with my brown eyes.  This a little more bold then I normally do but I like the look.

Little bit of the left highlight on my brown bone.

 Eye liner I used in the look(s)

I've just recently started using eye liner so I'm still learning. I love the shade. I'll make a post later on how this wears once I have more time to play with it.

Another Eye Look (No primmer)

This the blue/teal that is 4th from left and the coral/orange that is 3rd from left with first high light above the coral/orange.  .  The same eye liner as above.  This look is a bit bold for me but I think it turned out okay.  I'm still learning how to do more elaborate looks.

Few different pics to try and capture the colors.  On my eye lashes is CoverGirl Clump Crusher but didn't use very much care in applying it-I was too busy playing with shades of shadow.

Final Thoughts

LOVE this palettes, I'm still trying to figure out why its so cheap.  The shadows are very silky and have great color pay off. Normally I will wear and try out something before posting but I didn't see any swatches when I Googled so I wanted to go ahead and get these out there.  I'll report back after I wear it more.
