Hey everyone. So Lorac has launched their spring 2015 collection and I am super excited to talk to you about it. First of all I want to let you know that I absolutely adore Lorac eyeshadows. I think they are very pigmented, soft and blend easily. They do have fall outs but so do every other eyeshadows.
I am going to start with an eyeshadow palette since I have already mentioned how much I love those. So this spring Lorac launched an addition to their Unzipped palette which is called Unzipped Gold. Forgot to mentioned that the theme of the collection is "Lorac Goes Gold", that is why there are so many different shades of gold in collection.
The palette is white and slightly shines when the light hits it. I think it will be harder to clean than the original Unzipped which is yellow and glossy.
As I mentioned Unzipped Gold has different beautiful shades of gold, couple transition shades and couple shades that will be good to dippen out the eye look. The pigmentation is on point! The shimmery shades are basically pressed pigments and have gorgeous metallic finish. There are ton of fall outs that's why it might be easy if you apply them with a brush like the one from Naked palette by Urban Decay or with your fingers. The only shade that I didn't like pigmentation wise is Unafraid. I had such a hard time layering it on top of the other shimmery-metallic shades. It was a mess.
The palette has four matte colors and six shimmer-metallic. Of course it has a small size of Behind the Scenes eye primer as all the other Lorac palettes do. It retails a little but higher than the original Unzipped palette which is 42$ on Ulta's website : Unzipped Gold Palette
The collection didn't only have the eyeshadow palette. There are blush palette, lipsticks, concealers and powders. The next item I got was Unzipped Cheek palette & Alter Ego lipstick Set. I thought the palette was going to be small therefore with small blushes. But I was happily surprised. The size of the blushes is quite decent.
There are two matte shades - mauvy and bright pink, one satin-reddish brown and one with shimmer-glitter - peach. They are pigmented and almost don't have fall outs but not all shades are suitable for my skin tone. Like the brown shade that I can't really use because it's neither a bronzer nor contour shade. Hopefully I will be able to use bright pink shade with a very light hand. I didn't get to wear the blush for long enough to see if it stays for long time, but in general - I do like the palette.
With the blush palette comes Alter Ego lipstick in the color Girl Next Door. It is quite neutral every day shade but it's more coral than pink, which I like and I don't. It has nice vanilla scent just like MAC lipsticks do. The finish is matte and the lipstick goes into all my fine lines which is not attractive at all. That is why I have to use gloss over the lipstick. For the price which is $16 (it is free in the set) I would probably prefer MAC matte lipsticks but there is really not much difference between them. I am just gonna say it didn't wow me. The set on Ulta's web site is $30 and I want to say it is limited edition but I'm not sure.
I hope you liked this small review of the products that I got from Lorac's new collection. Thank you so much for your time.
Tatiana Guerrero.
