Lorac UNZIPPED GOLD Palette

Two posts in one day...girl I know..Lorac again? Girl, I know! But, Lorac has done it again with this one! I recently just received this in the mail and have been playing around with it ever since! I think because its spring time...you know those warm tones compliment a tan! Well, a fake tan..haha! Back to the palette, here we go with the gorgeous mattes and shimmers! I mean I don't think this palette puts up a fight against the PRO palette, but still, it's amazing! This palette comes with four mattes, and 6 shimmery shadows! You can go natural with this palette, but I definitely prefer this for a glam look!

Of course, the name of the palette is inside, nonetheless I love it! Can we just take a moment to check out the names of the shadows! Un-zipped..undressed, uninhibited, unpredictable...anyone sensing a pattern! They're so adorable and such a nice touch showing that Lorac put a lot of time into this palette and oh lord it paid off!
The warm tones range from both pinky to bronze and I love it! Bronze compliments so many different eye colors, and I loved experiencing with the pinky tones. Some may find it scary but honestly they're such a subtle pink that it just looks so glamorous on the eye! 

I do have to say... uninhibited and unpredictable in the top row are chunky glitters! I was disappointed in their chalkiness and flakes of glitter falling all over my face.. note to beauties: When experiencing with new shadows..always do foundation and concealer last!
The shimmers in the bottom row though.. on point! Very silky and easy to blend and so freakin' pigmented! As for the mattes, I'm disappointed! No where near the mattes in the PRO palette mentioned in my previous post! They're very pretty colors but the pigmentation and texture is just...eh. I expected so much more! But to be honest, the shimmers make the palette worth it!

Top Row: Undressed, Uninhibited, Unpredictable, Undeniable, Unedited
Bottom Row: Unlocked, Unlimited, Unleashed, Unwind, Unafraid
(Left to right)
You can tell from the top row how chunky the shimmers are! Sorry for the pale skin...Undressed didn't feel like showing up on camera! Only means one thing...Time to tan! Haha! It had taken a few harsh swipes to get the matte shadows to show up well enough for the picture which sucks! But the shimmers are absolutely stunning! I love playing around with using the bold bronze colors all over the lid! I don't typically put shimmery colors in my crease but these shadows blend beautifully to where they could be put to use! I just.. compared to the PRO palette, this gets a 3 out of 5 stars!

So as for the price, $42.00 once again...to say this is worth it? That's a bit far stretched for the same cost as the PRO palette. But if you're a bronze shadow lover like me BUY THIS! But if you're debating between this and the PRO palette... PRO PALETTE ALL THE WAY! Okay so this review turned out to be a smackdown of Lorac palettes, sorry beauties! But I guess it goes to show a brand can't hit it out of the park with every product!
