Review+Swatches - LORAC Pro-Cream Eyeliner + Brush

I thought I had tried just about every gel eyeliner out there until I came across this next one. LORAC Pro Cream Eyeliner + Brush is your basic pot and brush eye liner and comes in four colors: Dark Brown, Black, Navy and Plum.

What I like: the pigmentation, goes on smoothly and I get about 6 hours wear out of it. And the brush! The brush is in the handle as in the silver part of the picture below is the brush that sits snug inside the cap.

What I don’t like: nothing! It’s pretty darn good.

And the Navy color shown here is my go-to these days for liner. $19 @ sephora.com.

Fall Cheek Pick – Lorac Pro Powder Cheek Stain

A stain. So many product claim to be stains as in what KoolAid does to your lips after drinking too much of it. And I looooove a good stain but too many product claim to be stains but in the end are not. Would I call this LORAC Pro Powder Cheek Stain a true stain? Click after the jump to find out.

Lorac's Talking Summer and I'm Listening!

I’m soooo ready for summertime now that I finally found a couple of great summer dresses and now that I have LORAC’s new TANtalizer Palette in hand. Check out these awesome colors - white w/gold pearl, golden bronze, olive green w/gold pearl, shimmering garnet. Each baked shadow can create a day or night look and be used wet or dry but if you are going to do them dry, I would for sure recommend using an eye shadow primer. They especially help adhere baked shadows to the lid for hours.

And this one comes coupled with a 1.5oz sampler of their TANtalizer Body Bronzing Luminizer, which is a good quality creamy bronzer. $36 @ ulta.com and UTLA stores.

Review: Lorac Multiplex Palette

Lorac-Multiplex-3D-Eye-Shadow-Palette-2 Have you seen LORAC’s new Multiplex 3D Eye Shadow Palette yet? Wow and amazing came to mind when I first opened it up and in this case, the picture just doesn’t do it justice! It’s 6 velvety-smooth shadows each infused with what they call, “luminous, prismatic, and holographic luster.” 

Here’s another way of selling this palette to you - how many eye shadow palettes do you come across where every shadow justifies the cost? In this case, each color costs $6.33 and since all of them are completely wearable, you get a nice bang for your buck! 

This one has 3 Cool 3-D Eye Shadows and 3 Warm 3-D Eye Shadows that can be applied wet or dry  (below picture is dry swatches) depending on the look you are going for. I bet we’re going to see a lot of youtube turtorials using the colors inside this one! $38 @ sephora.com.

Lorac Wants a Date With You

How many products do you try and shove into your evening bag? Really, make a note next time you go out. I usually include a lippie and some kind of powder, at the very least. I would love to carry more but, that small bag just doesn’t allow it!! LORAC Evening Out Complexion Kit from their Fall 2010 Collection is pretty much all you’re going to need to face touch-ups throughout the night. The almost 2 ½” wide by 3” long by 1” deep contains a powder right under the lid, a puff, a brush and two concealer shades in a cool pull out drawer. Available in Light, Medium and Tan. $38 @ sephora.com

Add a Little Bronzer w/Lorac Cosmetics

Lorac-TANtalizer-Bronzing-Mousse-and-Lotion I’m officially a fan of the TANtalizing Bronzed Vixen Collection of products from LORAC! I was introduced to one from this last year and I guess it was such a hit that they expanded it and brought it back. Just picture you are wearing a hip summer evening club dress and you are just putting the finishing touches on your makeup. Since panty hose are so faux pas, don’t you feel like your legs, shoulders and décolletage need a little accenting? Choose the TANtalizer Body Bronzing Luminizer ($32/5oz) for a little color with no streaking or the TANtalizer Award Show Glow ($32/2.5oz), which is a bronzing mousse that gives the skin a hint of sun-kissed glow and also claims to firm the skin with caffeine and an anti-cellulite complex. While I didn’t see that happen or really didn’t see a way to measure that, I did see some nice color and that was good enough for me.Both @ loraccosmetics.com

Illuminating Cheeks Via Lorac

Lorac-Baked-Matte-Satin-Blush-in-Flaunt When I first laid eyes on LORAC’s Baked Matte Satin Blush, in Flaunt I thought it had two of the traits I don’t look for in a blush – bright and shimmery. But trying is believing and like a lot of beauty products, you have to try them to get the real deal and I’m glad I didn’t write this one off at first sight. It’s one of those baked powder formulas so it’s very pigmented and blends easily. The shimmery part in this comes from Mica inside but it really aided in the glow it instills on the cheeks. No cheap-o looking shimmer, just glow. I was floored, really!

The two new shades are the above Flaunt, a bright pink, and Plush a peach. $24 @ beauty.com

Lorac Double Feature Concealer/Highlighter

Lorac-Double-Feature-Concealer-Highlighter Ever since discovering this concealer, I feel like a door has opened up. I mean, how long have I been doing this and only recently am I into concealers? Strange but ok. The latest one to dazzle my eyes at what I don’t see is LORAC’s Double Feature Concealer/Highlighter ($24 @ beauty.com). Maybe it’s me but it seems like too many look like they’re made with chaulk as they look too whitish under my eyes. Perhaps I’m using a shade that’s too light for me? But all three that I’ve tried? Anyway, let me point out why I like this one. First, this stick has three things going on. Pull off the cover and you have your cover up (paraben-free, fragrance-free), On top is the Blender Ball, which is used to blend in the concealer. And if you untwist the middle, there’s the highlighter you can use pretty much anywhere. I have to admit, the Blender Ball really makes this product for me. As funny as it sounds, it makes it kind of fun to use!

Available in 5 color combos.

Quick Pick – Bronzing with Lorac

LoracLORAC TANtalizer Baked Bronzer ($28 @ sephora.com) is a two compartment deelio perfect for tucking in the purse. The top is the bronzer and in the basement, so to speak, is the application brush. And the mirror? So handy on the bottom of the compact! This is one of those baked powders as the name states, so the many specs of color are highly pigmented.
Use the big brush in the bottom drawer to brusha-brusha some color anywhere and everywhere.
