With that, let me tell you about some eyeshadow I got this weekend. I know, I know, I've professed my love for ELF makeup already. Well this is a different brand, but I love it just as much. Let me present the LORAC Unzipped Pallet!

I got a sample of a LORAC eyeshadow in a shimmery beigey gold (Serenity) in a beauty bag from ULTA quite a while ago. I started using it and thought it was perfect for daily wear. Unlike my co-blogger, I'm not the best at doing my own eye make up. Mary has done as much eye make up for our friends as a celebrity stylist (thanks, Mary! :) )... and she knows what she's doing. She's so good at using multiple colors to make your eyes really pop. Maybe I'll get there, but until that day - I slack in the mornings and used just one color. It really made me look more awake. I was also impressed with the staying power. Without eyelid primer, the shadow still stayed put all day.
So with a short novel of background, you know how I found this brand. Sadly, my Serenity is starting to run out. So I ran into ULTA this weekend to get some more. Sadly, they didn't have any. But.... they did have the Unzipped Pallet. The colors are a perfect combination of shimmery and matte nudes and includes an eyelid primer. I try to stay with more nude colors for the work day... wouldn't want to get too crazy. This pallet was more than I'd typically spend on make up ($40... yikes!). But, if it lasts like my Serenity, it was $40 well spent!
I haven't spent much time playing with it; I just used it for the first time this a.m. (while I put my make up on at work... oops!). I did branch out and use 2 colors today! :) I didn't use the primer, but I'd like to try that as well. I'll work on branching out more... when Mary and I get together in November - maybe she can teach me!
Have y'all used any other LORAC products? Let me know what you think!
