Review: Lorac Skinny Palette in NUDE

Another Viral Palette on Instagram that I spotted 2 months ago, since I followed a lot of beauty instagramer (to get inspired on their look and stuffs) and I really like the NUDE palette by Lorac which is limited edition and it is SOLD OUT everywhere (Lorac website, Zappos, and Hautelook). Luckily I managed to get mine on Hautelook while they re-stocked it (I think mine is the second batch of Hautelook stock), without any further consideration, I purchase 3 of the palettes which is NUDE, NAVY and PLUM

But today I am going to introduce the NUDE palette only, the other two will be in the other post :)

Here is the pic and swatches:

The box and Packing

Love the colors

Close up of the gorgeous color

Swatches (Room Lighting, No Flash)

I only use the Copper Gold color and the Light Brown (3 from Left) as transition color

What I said:

1. Love all the colors esp the Copperish-Gold color (the 3rd from Right), I can use it on its own (very coppery)

2. Less fall out

3. Great Pigmentation esp with eye primer

4. Very versatile palette (DEF my palette On-The-Go)

5. Very Reasonable price

6. Love the packaging, it is so slim (just like it said SKINNY) and light-weight. Easy to carry it around.

7. The only cons is Lorac should not make it as Limited Edition, should keep on producing it. All the color is Gorgeous!

Re-purchase:

YES, if they are still available

Tutorial: My Look using Lorac Pro Palette-- Simple Sexy Brown

It is about Lorac Pro Palette again, hope you ladies are not that sick with this product, please don't because this one is worth it :) This time, it is not about Review or me blabbing about how good it is, but I will make Tutorial using it. This I think is my second tutorial so bare with me  :)

Here we go:
1. Always remember to PRIMER your eyes so the color will be obvious and Long-lasting whole day. 

2. Line your upper waterline using your favorite Black Pencil Eyeliner. I am using Hana Waterproof Black Pencil Eyeliner.
3. Take any cream pencil liner in Dark Brown Color, Here I am using Holika Holika Jewel-light Waterporoof Eyeliner in shade No.5 and blend it out using your finger. 

Take out your Lorac Pro Palette, it is the time to use it :P Today we are going to use 5 colors: Garnet, Gold, Champagne, Deep Purple & Cream.

4. Apply Gold at your upper lid until middle half and leave the tip part for Champagne. Blend well between Gold and Champagne. 
5. Apply Garnet above the Gold color. Again Blend well so there is no harsh line above the Garnet. 
6. Apply little of Cream color above the Garnet as transition color so it won't be so weird. 

7. Apply the Deep Purple color in the V corner and Blend well into Garnet and Gold. 
8. Touch up some of the Gold in the middle of upper lid. 
9. Now it is the lower lash line time. The sequence of the colors is the same as above just put it in very thin line and blend all those color together. 
10. Apply Deep Purple on outer lash line and Garnet next about 1/4 and then Gold in the middle and lastly Champagne in the inner. 

11. Put your favorite Eyeliner, I am using CLIO eyeliner and Hana Waterproof Eyeliner for Lower Lash Line. 
12. Curl your lashes and apply your Fave mascara, I am using Maybelline Rocket Mascara

And You are DONE!

The Result~~~

CLOSE UP!!!

Review & Swatch: Lorac Pro Palette

Eye shadows...I am obsessed of eye shadows, I have a tendency to buy eye shadows or to go to eye shadow area of beauty store, it is like I never have enough eye shadows. Now I have like 7-8 eye shadow palettes, maybe I should stop for a while in buying the palette, since I have some to try on. :P

But today I just want to share my review and swatches on my new Love " LORAC PRO PALETTE" 

I mentioned in my Jan Favorite that I am so in Love with this product so why not I write one post especially for it. :)

Here is the picture of the product again. It comes with mini eyeshadow primer called Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer. Real quick review on the eye primer: it works really good in keeping the eyeshadow and definitely long lasting. 

Move on to the eye shadow, you all have peek of it already from my Jan Fave but here are some of the close up and swatches :)

The close-up

It consists of 16 shadows which combination of 8 matte and 8 shimmer shadows so you have balance amount of those two types. Upper part are all the matte shadows and Bottom part are the shimmer shadows. All of the shadows are very pigmented or I should say Ultra-pigmented which I was so surprised when the first time I swatches it for the first time. 

Here is the swatches: 

• All of the color is crazy pigmented and it doesn't fall off when you apply it. 
• This is taken without any flash, only with normal light and taken with IPhone, you can see how the color is so obvious without editing or taken with any professional camera. 

One other thing I like about this palette is the Packaging. It is very light, slim and yet simple. Easy to carry around while travelling. 

See, how slim it is :)

Conclusion:

1. Great color payoff, little effort in getting the color you desire. 

2. Combination of Matte and Shimmery shadows, it is a good choice on-the-go product when travelling.

3. Simple and light packaging

4. Comes with great eye primer (mini size)

5. Good colors choice, can do from Natural to the Red Carpet looks

Price: USD 42

Re-purchase: DEFINITELY! I will even buy other Lorac products like the eye primer and the shadows with other bold color if they make one. :)

Thanks for reading and Happy Sunday lovelies :) :)

Jan 2014 Favorite Products

Hi lovelies, this is  my first time in doing my Favorite post. I begin to accumulate lots of make-up & skin care products so I am thinking why not write my favorite make up products at the moment and I will definitely re-purchase the products until I find new and better products, haha.

OK, here is some Make-up Products I am loving now:
1. Eye Shadow Palette
    I am soooo in love with LORAC PRO PALETTE. I highly recommend this product to all Make-up Lover. The color payoff is crazy GOOD!! It doesn't have lots of fall off and the most important is with one swipe you can get the color you desire without the need of many application.

I will specifically write a post more about this palette since I am so in love with it. HAHA!

It also comes with Eye Primer

2. Foundation
    When BB cream is introduced for the first time, I switched from foundation to BB cream ever since. But after moved to Singapore, I don't know why BB cream always give me that shining face in the end of the day, don't know if it is the weather or my body changes. :P so when I was back home in Medan, I went to check out Revlon product and the lady suggested me this foundation and it works wonder. No greasy, oily face now. And it said it could stay for 24H but I think 12H (in my face) but it already good considering drugstore product with long lasting effect, light and good coverage.

3. Concealer
    I have lots of concealers as we all ladies must have, we just like to buy stuffs (don't we?) haha. But now I am liking this concealer from Bare Minerals, from the packing to the coverage.
The packing is small, so it is easier to carry around and the coverage is good, covers most of my acne scar.

4. Blusher
   I usually do not use blusher a lot since I was kinda lazy to put so many products in my face for daily basis. But when I was home for CNY this year, I tried my sister's blusher by Maybelline, I was like OMG!! It really gives some color to my pale face (haha), so I decided to run to Maybelline to buy it and it is cheap with great color. Recommend it!!
   

5. Make-up Brushes

    Till now, I love 2 brands of makeup brushes which is SIGMA brush and Real Technique. Both of them works wonder in doing their job haha, I love Sigma steadiness in all application and as Real Technique I love its Powder Brush which gives the neat finished for the powder application. 

Both of the brushes are good quality products, but Sigma brushes are pricey. So for you with limited budget and want good brushes, you can really consider Real Technique Brush. It never fails me. :) :)

So that's about my Jan 2014 current Favorite products, what about yours?? :) Have a nice week ladies
