The big moment we've all been waiting for - I managed to get my greedy sea-hands on this box of gorgeousness. We are about to embark on a journey featuring review and swatches galore. Strap yourselves in folksickles.
Availability: This palette is available at lorac.com and kohls.com - it retails at $59.
Would I buy this again? Yes.
Would I buy this again? Yes.
Notes: The palette contains 32 shadows, 16 of which are matte/satin and 16 which are pearly/frosty. They are absolutely beautiful in their textures and work well with one another. I haven't had an issue with pigmentation or anything of that kind. This is my very first Lorac palette and I'm very happy with it. I might pick up the Pro Palette 2. :P This palette is very heavy on warm-tones and rosy colors.
Cream - a soft off-white.
Fawn - a soft, warm flesh-tone.
Camel - a light warm tan flesh-tone.
Sepia - a mid-tone warm tan.
Dusty Plum - a plummy rosy brown.
Orchid - a soft cool-toned pink.
Mulberry - this has a drier texture compared to the rest of the mattes BUT is a beautiful pigmented cranberry red, sort of burgundy. Gorgeous.
Espresso - a rich blackened brown.
White - a true pure white with a bit of a satin finish, I'm assuming that's to avoid it going chalky on darker skin-tones.
Khaki - cool toned soft taupe.
Brown - gorgeous richly pigmented true brown.
Stone - matte taupe-y gray.
Lilac - soft whitened lilac with a kiss of gray. Others have complained that the pigmentation on this shade is lacking. Um... it's a light color, I don't have an issue with it not showing up (possibly cause I'm white :/) but I'd use it as an all-over lid or highlight type of color.
Wisteria - a mauve-y taupe with a kiss of purple.
Gray - a rich dark gray.
Black - rich matte black, yaaaaas. I love it when matte blacks are rich and buttery like this as so many times a black like this is hard to find.
Opal - gorgeous white gold with a hint of pink.
Sand - a pinker version of Opal.
Copper - BEAUTIFUL warm copper. I LOVE colors like this, they just make anyone's eyes pop.
Sienna - a beautiful golden taupe with a kiss of pink.
Apricot - a beautiful warm pink with a golden pearl.
Blush - gorgeous pink with white pearl.
Merlot - the friggin chupacabra. A burgundy that shows up burgundy instead of brown on my skin. LOVE!
Indigo - what MAC Graphic Garden wanted to be, a rich matte black base with pink, silver, and blue micro-glitter.
Vanilla - a soft shimmery off-white.
Cashmere - a whiter version of Opal.
Smokey Topaz - a pearly golden taupe.
Dusty Rose - as the name suggests, a dusty rose - heavily grayed rose color, a gray with a kiss of rose.
Granite - a rich blackened brown with a slightly reddish pearl.
Maroon - a rosy plum with a kiss of taupe.
Deep Teal - this is more of a black with a teal pearl and needs a black base for the teal in it to really pop.
Caviar - a rich pearly black.
