Beauty, Skincare, and a bit of Lifestyle
I know — it’s about time, right? The LORAC Mega PRO 2 palette has been out for a while now, but if you’re still on the fence about if you need this palette or not…I hope my review today will help you decide! And, best part of all, it’s still available on the Ulta website — much better than last year, when it sold out so quickly from every retailer that had it! But, anyways, we’ve got a lot to talk about today so grab a cup of coffee and let’s jump right in!
OH. EM. GEE!!! You guys, the collection of the year is finally here — LORAC x Pirates of the Caribbean! If you’ve been a long time follower of my blog you know that I am a huge fan of LORAC products. What you might not know is I am also a big fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. So, of course, this collection caught my eye and stole my heart the first time I saw it. But for the skeptics and rational-thinking gals…is the quality that we know and love from LORAC there in this collection? Let’s dive in!
It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had a good dupe or dud here, and this one actually dropped in my lap on it’s own. Pixi Beauty recently collaborated with 4 Youtubers and I was generously sent all the products to try out. When I was trying the Glow-y powder in Santorini Sunset I realized it reminded me of my beloved (and holy grail!) LORAC Light Source Illuminating Highlighter in Daylight. So of course I had to share and dupe it out with you guys!
If you’ve been reading the blog for any length of time, you know I am a big LORAC Cosmetics fan. Needless to say, I was surprised when I realized I’ve never done a top 10 or top 5 from LORAC. Like…how did that even happen?? Well, today we’re going to fix that! I like so many products that they put out, but these 5 are the cream of the crop for me!
When Makeup Geek came out with this Autumn Glow bundle, I knew it was finally time to try out this brand and see if it is worth all the hype that it gets on social media. The good news about this bundle is, none of the shades are limited edition so even after the bundle deal goes away, this review and the shadows will still be relevant and helpful because they can be purchased as individual shadows anytime.
I feel like Kat Von D palettes always make waves in the beauty community, and her new MetalMatte palette is no exception! This is not “another boring neutral palette”, clearly, but with that said there were a few unexpected surprises that I ran into when I started using this palette. 🙂
Time for another Dupe or Dud showdown! Today we’re going to see if Makeup Revolution’s Iconic Pro 1 palette is a dupe for the LORAC PRO palette (which just happens to be a long time favorite of mine). The Iconic Pro palette had it’s work cut out for itself trying to prove to me that it was just as good my LORAC. Did it succeed?? 🙂
