LORAC PRO 2 PALETTE

After seeing everyone raving about the new Lorac Pro 2 Palette I finally caved and picked it up at my local Ulta yesterday. Now I was not initially dying to grab this palette but I used my whole first pro palette up so I figured when I saw this baby in person it would persuade me… and it did. 

These colors are on par with the creaminess and pigmentation of the first pro palette. They blend like a dream and are very easy to work with overall. 

Now onto the swatches

I am going to play around with this palette and create some looks and then give you a full review. 

Retail: $42.00 at Ulta

ULTA GOT ME AGAIN

Some retail therapy was needed in my life so where did I go to? That's right, Ulta. I really didn't have anything in particular that I wanted to check out but I figured that there might be some new summer releases so I went.

First I grabbed a staple for me. I love this Tree Hut body scrub for when I am self tanning and the coconut lime scent is perfect for summer so in my cart it went. 

 Retail: $7.49 Here

I've heard a lot of good things about the Pacifica brand so when I saw a coconut scent I smelled it and fell in love. There were also body lotions, shower gels, and fragrances in this scent but I wanted to start with a hand cream first .

Retail: $9.00 Here

To go along with the body scrub I also grabbed my all time favorite self tanner that I had recently ran out of. This tanner gives an amazing glow without streaking and it wears off evenly. Love it!

Retail: $39.00 Here

I had recently tried a sample of the Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation and fell in love so I grabbed a full size to be my summer foundation. This is very light and breathable on the skin while still giving medium coverage so this will be perfect for me.

Retail: $39.00 Here

Last but none least as I was browsing around all the displays I came across the new Alter Ego lipstick line from Lorac. I was testing a few nudey colors on my hand when this color caught my eye. This bright pinky color is perfect for summer. It brightens up my face and gives me a beautiful glow. The formula can be a little drying if you apply full coverage so I just dab the color on to the lips and it still gives a pop while maintaining moisture. 

Retail: $16.00 Here

So these were my picks for summer 2014. Some essentials that will be perfect for the hot months. 

Have you tried any of these products? Please let me know your opinions.

Lorac Lips With Benefits: Christian

A bright coral pink with good shimmer. I love this sheered out on my lips for a subtle pop of color during my work day.

Swatch & Review: Lorac Dazzling Dozen Eye Shadow Collection

When I saw this value set at my local Ulta this week I couldn't resist it. 12 creamy and pigmented eyeshadows for $35.00? Who would pass that up? The colors are the same formula as the Lorac Pro Palette so this is a total win. You need it.

Lorac GloGetter Palette (Ulta Exclusive)

I originally wasn't planning on picking this palette up but when I saw it in person I just knew it was meant to be mine. It is absolutely stunning. If you love colored eyeshadow, you will LOVE this. You need it. (I will be your enabler, blame me). Xoxo
