![]() ![]() There is a good mix of mattes and shimmers and overall I think this is a very well-done palette! If you don't have a lot of these shades or love Beauty and the Beast, you may want to consider picking it up. ![]() The mattes feel very creamy and smooth, very much like the mattes in the Lorac Pro 3 palette. The only shimmer that isn't very smooth is Real You, which doesn't look glittery in the pan but has some silver glitter in it. I can't wait to try using Swept Up in an eye look, I don't have any shades like it. Swatches from left to right: My Castle, Chip In, Romance, Spell Breaker, Inner Beauty, Tea Time, Tick Tock, Real YouĪll of these swatches were made by swirling my finger in the pan three times and I didn't use any primer or build them up at all! As you can tell the pigment is very impressive, especially on the shimmers. Based on swatches this does feel like the original Pro formula though there is a glitter-infused finish in here that I haven't seen in my other Lorac palette. I personally like the formula and I talk about it more in my Lorac Pro 3 palette review, but I know some people really hate the amount of fallout these shadows can have. The eyeshadows supposedly have the Lorac Pro formula, which is very pigmented and blendable but powdery. It's also a pain to photograph, so please bear with me! The palette includes a double-sided brush, which is actually usable! There are a few red accents to go along with the rose, like a red ribbon bookmark and a red ribbon in the brush holder. There are also two quotes, one near the mirror that says "love looks not with the eyes but with the mind", and the other above the eyeshadows that says "true beauty is found within". The metallic clasp is strong and flips open to reveal an old-fashioned mirror and sixteen eyeshadows. A red rose detail covers the front and the Beauty and the Beast logo is on the back. It is shaped like a book and has two tones of gold on it, one for the majority of the cover and the other for the metallic clasp and the 'Tale as Old as Time' logo.

At just £6,99 it’s a total bargain and so much easier to find if you’re based in the UK. Grab a Real Techniques or Zoeva brush and blend, blend, blend!įor a purse-friendly version of the Lorac Pro palette, I really don’t think you can beat MUR’s Iconic Pro 1. When it comes to packaging, I do prefer the Lorac case, purely as the plain black of MUR looks a bit basic, but I really am being picky here! Do yourself a favour though and invest in a good brush to use with either palette – Lorac doesn’t include one and the Makeup Revolution brush that’s included is pretty average. That being said, Lorac’s matte shadows are definitely the winner out of the two palettes as they’re more pigmented and don’t feel quite so chalky matte shades can be quite hard to get right, especially for more budget brands. They’re slightly softer, making them just that little bit easier to work with. Makeup Revolution has done a fantastic dupe of Taupe, Pewter and Garnet - there's hardly anything to tell them apart from the Lorac shades.īoth brands last incredibly well, even on oilier lids and if I’m being completely honest, a few of the MUR shadows actually have a better texture to them than those of the Lorac version (sorry Lorac). When swatched, there are some very slight differences in a few shades, however I don’t think this is going to make a huge amount of difference once used on the lids. When it comes to a shade comparison, both palettes look pretty much identical in the pan.
