Who was the genius who decided that this needed to be white?
I mean, I had it open for about two seconds before there was eyeshadow all over the packaging, all over the inside of it, the outside of it, all over me. I don’t even know. It was a mess!
I really like it, though. There are so many colors, and it has this rose gold theme, which feels kinda 2013, but eh — I’ll go with it. I think the best things, by far, are the first two rows. They’re all mattes! (All matte errrthing.) And these mattes are just so freaking juicy, soft and super easy to blend.
This whole grunge thing happening on my lids? (Well, I’m also wearing a couple shimmers. Let me just throw that out there.) I did it in like 10 minutes.
Maybe instead of writing the rest of this review, I’ll just use emojis, since that’s where we’re headed anyway. Why even bother with the English language? Just use emojis. That’s how Connor will probably communicate with me in the future anyway. Might as well get a jump on it. 🙂

Despite the dismal white packaging (WHO designed this?) I would buy this. I love browns and golds.
Karen says
Those are my fave colors to wear, too!
Chelsea says
That packaging really is unfortunate! Clearly designed by someone who doesn’t use eyeshadow palettes!
Karen says
It is so pretty to look at but so hard to clean! I’m usually cool with a little bit of mess but this is driving me cray!
Sonia says
Forget that palette, what are you wearing on your lips???
Karen says
Hi Sonia! It’s Tarte Tartiest in Brownie: https://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/product-reviews/tarte-tartiest-creamy-matte-lip-paint-naughty-nudes/

Ha ha I like the emoji review. The palette looks great, I just got mine in the mail today. Cannot wait to use it.
Karen says
Thanks! ? Hope you like the palette. And I hope you can keep it clean!
Nicole says
This palette is so pretty!! I need this. I only own the original Lorac Pro palette but I’ve been dying for more from them. It sucks that it’s hard to get it in Canada. Totally agree with the packaging though…horrible idea!
Karen says
Hope you can find it! ?
Carolina Braina says
Ooooh, I love the look you created with this! And the emoji review is ?
Karen says
Thanks Carolina! ?
Lulle says
Best use of the poop emoji ever, lol!
Hmm, I thought from other swatches I’ve seen that this palette was very neutral, but it seems to have some interesting colors. I don’t own any Lorac palette so far, is this one you would recommend to discover the brand’s eyeshadow formula?
Karen says
I mean… It’s SUPER easy to blend, but there is some fallout. Just as long as you tap off your brush (keep a paper towel nearby) then you should be fine. I think you’ll like it just as long as you’re cool with the packaging getting messy.
Kiss & Make-up says
Omg, an emoji review, that is just brilliant 😀 And I totally GET it, too!
Karen says

LindaLibraLoca says
That is an explicit emoji description of the packaging, but I feel your pain.
Karen says
Ha! 🙂
Kim says
I know it’s not nice to say but (to me) they should just rename LORAC and call it FALLOUT. My only palette from them is suitable for doing zombie makeup on the boys. HAHA! And, agreed 100% on the white package. What a mess! Btw, I’m made fun of regularly because I text the boys with proper grammar and punctuation. They find it very funny (or, in their replies, that annoying Crying Laughing emoji). 🙂
Karen says
The fallout is a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it’s a pain (but great for zombie makeup). On the other, it’s SOOO easy to blend.
Um, how cute is it that the boys text with you?!
Raph says
Omg the packaging really sucks!!! Anyway, I laughes while seeing your emoji review!!! My turn: ????
Karen says
LOL! Raph! Funny thing is I completely understood your emoji sentence! Seriously, this is the future of communication…
Tatiana says
Thanks for the review, it made me chuckle! Seriously not going to get this palette.
Karen says
??❤️
Madeleine says
I love th look of this palette, if I was in the U.S. I would totally buy it! I guess messy packaging is a bit annoying but I’m not too concerned with keeping everything pristine haha 🙂
