LORAC- MEGA PRO PALETTE 2 FIRST IMPRESSION

Hello everyone! I'm back with another first impression post! It's the Lorac mega PRO palette 2! AHHHHH!!!! I'm so happy!!! For some reason I did not hear about the first mega palette and I was bummed that I never got my hands on one! There are so many holiday palettes coming out this season that I was so indecisive about which one I should get. I decided to get this one and I am so happy I did! I am so thrilled! I have been using this palette right when I got it. There are 32 different colors and I just feel like I can create any looks with it. I am a huge fan of Lorac's make-up line so I knew I was going to love it! There seems to be mixed reviews about this palette though. When I first saw that this palette was going to come out, I was hesitant to get it because I didn't like the colors as much as the ones I saw in the first palette. But as I continue to do my research I started to like it more and more. I saw gorgeous swatches of the colors and I was drawn to it more and more. I knew I had to get it!

Here is a close up of the colors. I've had this palette for a while now so you can see that I have been using some colors. Of course I couldn't wait because I was so eager to try them! I love the packaging. It's like all of Lorac's packaging with a simple writing in the front. Of course I've mentioned before that I didn't really like the texture of Lorac's products because it gets dirty pretty quickly. It's hard to maintain the quality of the exterior but I'm more in it for the colors than the packaging. The price of this palette is $59. Not bad at all for 32 different colors that are good quality. Lorac's shadows never disappoint me. The palette is a little big but still perfect enough to travel with in my opinion.

 

Here are swatches of some of the eyeshadows. Isn't it beautiful? The formulation are so buttery like all of Lorac's eye shadows. 

I love this palette! There are just so many beautiful colors and it's so pigmented. Go get your hands on one if you haven't already! Get it before it's gone! You won't regret it! :D

UNBOXING- IPSY (AUGUST 2015)

Hello everyone! It's another unboxing post!! If you don't already know, I am subscribed to a beauty subscription called Ipsy. I pay 10 dollars a month and get 5 deluxe size products every month! It is always so exciting to see what new products I have added to my collection. I was kind of disappointed in the shipping of my bag this month. I got mines towards the end of the month and I have been waiting so long for it to arrive. But it's alright because I have it now! Just by looking at my bag I already know I'm gonna like what I got! The theme for this month is "Prep School." It's a school theme and it's no surprise because school is back. The glam bag itself is so cute! It's a black and white houndstooth bag. I love the pop of pink they have going on with the zipper. 

I love that I always get a variety of different products.

DOUCCE Ultra Precision Eye Liner in Black

Yes! I have another eyeliner in my bag! I am not being sarcastic. I love getting eyeliners! Especially the black eyeliners. I have not heard of this brand before but I already like this eyeliner. It's so smooth and creamy. It's definitely going to give me that nice wing liner. I also like the pencils more than the felt tip ones because those ones tends to dry up fast. 

MARC ANTHONY Nourishing Argan Oil of Morroco Oil Treatment

This is something new. I have not gotten any hair products yet so I am so excited to try this product out. I heard Marc Anthony's hair products are really good. This is an oil treatment to help get strong and frizz free hair. I love any products that will help keep my hair healthy and strong. I am a sucker for hair products so I'm happy to include this product as a daily staple in my beauty regimen. 

MARSK Pro Line Eye Shadow Brush

I also love getting brushes! It is always good to try out different brushes. I have not heard of this brand before but I am really excited to use this brush. It is an eyeshadow brush so I can't wait to see how it is. The bristles are very soft and shaped perfectly for blending. 

HIKARI Lipgloss in Merlot

I am so happy to receive this lipgloss in my bag this month! I have been dying to try Hikari Cosmetics. This is my first product from Hikari and I'm so happy it's a lip product! Honestly, I am not a fan of lipgloss but with this beautiful color, I can't resist. This is such a beautiful color. I have been loving darker color like this lately. Swatching this lipgloss I find the formula to be very dense and pigmented. I hope it's going to be a matte finish because I like it when a lipgloss has a matte finish.

TRUST FUND BEAUTY Nail Polish in Elegantly Wasted 

And last but not least I have a nail polish! This is also something I have not received in my ipsy bag but have always wanted to get one! I am so happy that I finally got it in my bag this month! I adore this color so much. I don't have this color yet so I am so happy to be adding this to my collection. 

OFRA Bliss Eye Shadow 

This eye shadow pan was included in my bag because I used my points to redeem this product. We get points for reviewing our products. If you keep your points without redeeming anything, your points can add up and you can have a ton of points. There are always different products that can be redeemed. I redeemed this beautiful eye shadow for 250 points. I think it is totally worth it. The color is so shimmery and pigmented. It can be used as an eye shadow or a highlighter which I have been obsessing about lately. I also like the magnet so it can be placed in any make up palette!
