Lorac Pro Review

Please forgive me as this is my first review and if you have any suggestions or comments please let me know.

I have had the Lorac Pro for about a month and it has quickly become one of my favourite palettes (if you want a list of my top 5 palettes let me know). The pigmentation is amazing and I love so many of the colours in the palette. My favourite is most likely garnet. There is 8 mattes (the top row) and 8 shimmers (the bottom row) I love having a even mix of mattes and shimmers as it makes it easy to make many different eye looks.

Sorry its dirty it has been well loved :) 

First half.
Top Row L-R: White, Cream, Taupe, Lt. Pink
Bottom Row L-R: Nude, Champagne, Gold, Lt. Bronze

Second Half:
Top Row L-R: Mauve, Sable, Espresso, Black
Bottom Row: Pewter, Garnet, Deep Purple, Slate

Swatches
(The Matte Shades)
L-R: Black, Espresso, Sable, Mauve, Lt. Pink, Taupe, Cream, White

Swatches
(The Shimmers)
I apologize for the angle
Top to Bottom: Slate, Deep Purple, Garnet, Pewter, Lt Bronze, Gold, Champagne, Nude

If you are just starting out with makeup I think that this palette is a great one to get as it is so versatile and it is a really great beginners palette because the colours are easily blend able but if you are someone who blends a lot that can be a bad thing. You just have to be a bit careful and it is a great thing that it blends fantastically when you are in a rush.

I hope you enjoyed this review and please leave any comments down below and also let me know if there is any product you want me to review or any posts you want from me. Thanks for reading!

Who am I and what is this blog about?`

Hi!

Thank you for checking out my blog out of the thousands of blogs that are floating around the internet.
My name is Rachael Ralston. I am 18 years old and I have a passion for makeup and all things beauty. People have asked me to share my tips and tricks. I was thinking of filming youtube videos, maybe in the future, but for now I think I am more comfortable with writing.
I also have a condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome which causes multiple joint dislocations everyday (sometimes while doing my makeup) and organ issues as well as other conditions. If you want to hear more about that I have a Facebook page and blog Facebook.com/RachaelsHealthJourney and rachaelshealthjourney.blogspot.com (shameless plug right there).
I am studying Non Fiction Writing and Publishing so a blog combines both my loves, writing and makeup!
I am hoping to post at least once a fortnight but hopefully once a week. My health and busy schedule may make that hard but I will try to stick to it. My upload days will be Wednesday from here on out.
Wish me luck on this journey
