I recently was wondering around Sephora, looking for perhaps some new eyeshadow. (not that I need eyeshadow in the least bit) Well I asked one of the salespeople, (who never steers me wrong) about Lorac. She told me they were better than Urban Decay. Now to me, that's almost blasphemy. Can there be any other eyeshadow better than Urban Decay? And all you MAC lovers don't even know what's up until you've tried UD! Well I proceeded to put a primer on the back of my hand to get the full effect of the shadow, and the saleslady told me THAT was not even necessary with Lorac eyeshadows. Well I tried various palettes on the back of both hands, primed and not primed... and I was in LOVE! Now, I wouldn't go as far as saying better than UD. Urban Decay is my first love when it comes to eyeshadow! Anyway, the Lorac shadows are amazing! And the palettes really aren't that expensive. (same price I've been spending on palettes. I especially like the color choices of the palettes. FALL COLORS! Fall is my favorite season, and fall colors look great on my because of my blond hair and green eyes.
Ok, so I went on ebay yo purchase the palette. Times are rough, and b/t gas to get to Sephora and paying full price, buying the LORAC eyeshadow - well, I'd starve. JK. No, I found it on ebay for about $10 less, brand new out of the packet. I did sacrifice my Beauty Insider points.. and I'm not that far from the 500 point gift... yes again. Last year they boo boo'd and gave it to me 3 times. I was honest and told them I only earned it once. I surely didn't spend $1500 at Sephora last year! Ok I'm babbling... I recieved the palette and the first thing I noticed were the brushes. OMG the brushes are fabulous! One side is a small rounded brush good for blending and the other is a wide bristle for all over. The texture is soft and the quality is top notch! Well I applied the eyeshadow today... Now it doesn't have the shimmer of SMOG (the brown), it's more of a matte, but it rocks! I can't wait to buy more LORAC eyeshadow! I'm not deserting UD by any means, but now I have more to choose from!
