LORAC PRO Eyeshadow Palette

I have been drooling over this palette for several months. After careful consideration, I just decided to buy it.
I already own several neutral palettes. However, this is an outstanding value. The quality of LORAC eyeshadows is outstanding. They are extremely pigmented. You do not need to use a ton of product to get good color pay off.

The case is waxcardboard. It comes with a mirror and a sample of LORAC eyeshadow primer.
I consider it a great value because of the quality and number of shadows contained therein. It seems like it would be great for travel. It sells for $42
The palette contains an equal number of matte and shimmery eyeshadows. There are sixteen in total.
They are very creamy in texture. The Taupe and hte mauve barely show up on my skin tone. I had to swatch them twice. The black is not the blackest I have ever seen, but it is suitable for deepening my crease.

Left to right...White, Cream, Taupe, Light Pink, Mauve, Sable, Espresso, Black


Left to right...Nude, Champagne, Gold, Light Bronze, Pewter, Garnet, Deep Purple, Slate



I LOVE THIS PALETTE! I am so glad I finally broke down and purchased it. I got mine from HSN.
It was sold out on Sephora's website.

LORAC Cover Up - My New Holy Grail Concealer

Photo Credit: Sephora
I complimented a young lady on her flawless face and she shared her secret with me.
She told me that LORAC Cover Up was her favorite concealer.

After further discussion, I found out me that we wear the same shade in MAC Foundations, NC45/NC50.
In LORAC we are shade C7 dark.
My next Sephora purchase included this item.

PRICE
It was rather pricey at $19 for just .15oz.
I am so glad that I tried it.







PERFORMANCE
It has a waxy smell which I found to be a bit offputting at first. However, the visible results outweighed that drawback. It also appears to be kind of oily. There is a definite shine to this product. Setting it with powder nullifies the shine, however. It really does cover imperfections without looking or feeling heavy. It is very blendable. I apply mine with a MAC 217 brush. I set with MAC Transparent Loose Powder and a puff.
I use it to conceal my undereye circles and minor acne scarring. For undereye concealing, it can settle into fine lines. I simply smooth them out with my finger before setting with powder. I do not have a problem throughout the remainder of the day with the concealer settling into those lines again.


Right now this is my Holy Grail Concealer.


Have you ever tried this product?
