First Look: Lorac Pro 2 Palette

Sorry for being MIA again :( Me and my husband were busy doing errands because we are having a mini vacation towards the end of this month! Yaaaay! We needed to buy stuff for our relatives and went here and there that's why I wasn't able to visit my blog...

So anyway, as promised, I will be doing my first impression on the Lorac 2 palette. 

My friend Kaoyee from the US agreed on our International Swap. She gave me a lot of products and this was one of the items that I received from her. Again, Kaoyee, girl...if you are reading this one, be ready for your package because I'm filling it up! 

The Lorac Pro Palette was a big hit to most beauty junkies all over the world. It was a neutral palette which consisted a lot of earthly colors. Pro Makeup Artists prefer carrying the Lorac Pro Palette than the Urban Decay Naked Palette because it was more versatile. 

Many makeup junkies (myself included) got the news that Lorac will be releasing a second Pro Palette. It came out in the States a few months back and I saw a lot of YouTube gurus making their first impression on the palette. I am a follower of @coffeebreakwithdani and most of the reviews that she made are quite accurate. She didn't like this palette at all. In fact, she returned it to Ulta after giving her first impression on it. 

When I saw the palette, it was really gorgeous. I mean, the shades were what I would normally use on a day to day basis. Having Dani's impression on the palette, I was priveledged enough to own one, thanks to my friend Kaoyee. 

The palette consists of 16 shades and here are the shades as seen on the picture:

 

Upper: Buff, Lt. Brown, Cool Gray

Bottom: Snow, Beige, Rosé

Upper: Nectar, Plum, Navy

Bottom: Mocha, Chrome, Silver

Upper: Charcoal, Black

Bottom: Jade, Cocoa

It also contains a small-size primer. I can say that the consistency is very similar to the Urban Decay primers. 

My First Impression:

I like the shades of the palette, as what I said earlier. The shades here are typical of what I would lean towards to when I wear my day-to-day makeup. 

Texture: The texture of the eyeshadows are quite powdery. I don't know...it feels very soft that you might feel you will have a lot of fall-outs when you use it. I played with the palette several times already but I didn't have any problem when it comes to fall-outs. 

Pigment: The eyeshadows are quite pigmented especially the ones with no shimmer on it. My favorite shadow in the palette is Rosé. My least favorite is Buff. 

Packaging: I love that the packaging is very slim. Unlike the Urban Decay Naked palettes, theirs is very bulky. I travel often and packing is an A+ for me. Very slim and very light. I also love that it is color grey. 

Those are my initial thoughts of the palette. Of course opinions change from person to person, so I want to hear from you! What is your first impression on the Lorac 2 Palette? Let me know on the comment section below :)
