Back in March the human adaptation
to the Disney classic Beauty and the
Beast premiered in theatres and it was beautiful. With it came all of the
inspired beauty products including the Beauty and the Beast collection by the
makeup brand Lorac. When this collection came out, it was so hard to find. My
most wanted product was the eyeshadow palette simply because eye shadow is my
favorite part of makeup to begin with. Skip to late August, and I finally had
the chance to receive this palette. Let me tell you, it was a magical moment.
This palette is by far the most
beautiful palettes I have ever owned or seen. The outside is a very light gold
with a bit of a reflection, and it has the famous rose on the front. It also
says Tale as Old as Time on the front which references to the famous song in
the princess movie. I think the best part about the packaging is the palette
looks like a book. It has the title and author on the side and then the edges
have a rippled look like a book would have. If you have watched the movie,
cartoon or human version, then you know Belle is a huge bookworm and this
palette is perfect for representing this aspect in the movie. Of course, all of
the eye shadows are given a title that correlates with the movie, my personal
favorite is ‘chip in’ which refers to chip. The details in just the setup and
packaging of this palette is unbelievably remarkable.
The eye shadow formula is perfect.
It is so light and you are able to blend the eye shadows very well. Usually
when eyeshadows have that light texture it is very easy to mess up when doing
your makeup because of the fall out and, when you apply a color on top of
another, it mixes almost too well. These colors are so easy to blend but you are
still able to gently apply a color right on top of another and it will show up
perfectly instead of creating a whole new color. I also cannot believe how
pigmented these colors are. When I was swatching the colors, I used such a
small amount and it was so vibrant that I was in shock. The amount I normally
use to just swatch was cut down by half on this palette. I cannot stress to you
how light of an amount you need for these colors to show up.
I will say that usually darker eye
shadow colors have a lot more fall out than lighter colors but with this
product, the colors that were in the lighter actually had a little bit more fall
out. Specifically the color ‘enchanted’ had a little more fall out than all of
them in my opinion. That was the only thing I found wrong with this and even
that was so minor because almost all eyeshadow palettes have a shade that is
going to have some fall out.
For me this palette ranks as a 10
out of 10 and I am completely in love. I am so sad that this was a limited edition
product because I would gladly repurchase this palette for the rest of my life.
I would easily make this palette the one I would use for my every day makeup
but the deep dark colors also allow you to use it when you are wanting to do a
dramatic look. This I just my absolute dream palette. Let me know what your
thoughts are about the palette and if you fell in love with it as much as I did.
