DID SOMEONE SAY LORAC PRO PALETTE 2?




LORAC PRO PALETTE 2 $42

Yes ladies and gents, the Lorac Pro Palette 2 is mine. Probably the first time I've ever jumped on a make up band wagon so early. The Lorac Pro palette is my absolute favorite, it's my love and I simply wouldn't know what I would do with out it (are we still talking about make up??). At first glance, the Lorac Pro Palette 2 didn't tickle my fancies - it looked too cool toned for my liking and I simply wasn't impressed. But then, boy oh boy, the review videos started filling up my YouTube subscription box - next thing I know, I'm picking it up at my post office and I am one happy make up junkie.

The packaging is pretty much exactly the same as the original palette but in grey - and it has the number 2 on the box. As with the first one, it has that rubberised Nars feel, which I like but it gets super dirty, super fast. It's got 16 beautiful eyeshadows, 8 matte and 8 satin/shimmer/metallic. Ranging from pretty neutrals and then some incredible pops of colors. Like the Plum and Navy shade - ah-mazing. Both incredibly rich and delicious. The palette does definitely lean more on the cooler side but it does have some warmer ones as well. In my opinion the Lorac shadows (I've only tried the ones from the Pro palettes) are super high quality - buttery smooth, super pigmented and blend like a dream. Both the originial and second palette come with a travel size version of their Behind the Scenes eyeshadow primer which is actually really good and the little tube lasts for ages.

If you've been thinking about getting either one of these palettes I say go for it. The original one is still my favorite but this one is a great addition to my collection. Below are some swatches for you guys - bare in mind that the Nectar shadow doesn't show up too well on my skin because I am so fair and the shadow is pretty light.

//Já dömur mínar og herrar, ég keypti mér Lorac Pro Palette 2. Lorac Pro pallettan er mín allra uppáhalds palletta og nota ég hana mjög mikið. Þegar ég sá fyrst myndir af Lorac Pro Palette 2 var ég ekki heilluð, fannst hún of köld fyrir mig - en þegar review myndböndin byrjuðu að fylla YouTube subscription boxið mitt, varð ég heilluð. Áður en ég vissi var ég búin að sækja mitt eintak út á pósthús, úbbs.

Pakkningarnar eru nákvæmlega eins og á fyrstu pallettunni, nema þær eru gráar og talan 2 er á boxinu utan um pallettuna. Eins og með fyrri pallettuna er hún með svona Nars gúmmí áferð, sem mér finnst falleg en verður mjög skítug, mjög fljótt. Pallettan inniheldur 16 fallega augnskugga - 8 mattir og 8 með shimmeri. Allt frá fallegum náttúrulegum litum til bjartra blárra. Eins og litirnir Plum og Navy - magnaðir! Báðir litirnir ótrúlega ríkir og girnilegir. Pallettan er klárlega meira á kaldari hliðinni en það eru samt nokkrir hlýjir litir líka. Mér finnst Lorac augnskuggarnir (ég hef bara prufað þá í Pro pallettunum) vera ótrúlega góðir - mjúkir sem smjör, vel pigmentaðir og auðveldir í blöndun. Lítil túba af Behind the Scenes augnskuggarprimernum fylgir með bæði fyrstu og seinni pallettunni, primerinn er mjög góður og túban endist manni lengi!

Ef þú hefur verið að íhuga að kaupa aðra hvora pallettuna mæli ég frekar með númer 1 en númer 2 er alls ekki síðri og er ég mjög glöð að hafa bætt henni við í safnið. (Ég keypti báðar mínar pallettur af traustum seljanda á eBay- hér). Hér fyrir neðan eru svo "swatches" af litunum - Nectar liturinn sést ekkert svaka vel á mér því ég er svo ljós og hann er nokkuð ljós líka.

  1. Great review! I don't own any Lorac palette (yet!) but am considering in getting one. I am not a huge eyeshadow girl though, hence my hesitation in buying but UD Naked 3 and either one of these Lorac palettes is definitely on my to-purchase list.

  2. This is such a gorgeous palette! I didn't get my hands on the first one but I'll definitely consider this one though there are some colours I don't see myself ever wearing. xx

  3. I like the colours separately, but not together as a palette. It doesn't flow well to me.

  5. Drools... ugh I want this more than the original! These shades look more like my kind of shades. And MATTES. I love mattes to the ends of the earth.
