~Swatches + Review~ Lorac GloGetter Palette.....

Hey Everyone!!

The Lorac GloGetter Palette ( exclusively at Ulta) was the first piece of Lorac I've ever owned. I have heard great things about the brand and this palette was so affordable at $20, it was hard to pass up!! I heard on the blogsphere how it was sold out in some Ultas but my Ulta had at least, 8 of these babies. *shrugs*

My Instagram photo of GloGetter....

 The palette is all eye shadows with some neutrals and brights in the mix. The shadows are all shimmers as well...

 Here are the swatches....

 Here is a look a did with the first three shades. I'm drawn towards neutrals, of course.

 The consistency is sheer with a tad bit of build-ability, depending on your brush skills.

Overall....

The Lorac GloGetter palette just didn't do it for me. Its beautiful in the palette but I was struggling with the color payoff. Are all Lorac palettes like this?

I did like the the blues and the purple in the palette but the color payoff on these shades were sheer as well. I don't see a use for the palette in my collection, so its going back.

~Review~ tarte Call Of The Wild Amazonian Clay 8-Shadow Collector's Palette....

The cool breezes of the upcoming fall are inspiring lots of Fall makeup tutorials on the blog-sphere and on YouTube. I am all in for smoky eyes, dark burgundy lips and touches of gold sparkle in the right places!

I'm digging tarte Call Of The Wild palette because it gives you an awesome selection of smoky, neutrals and combination of both!

 There are eight shades: (starting from the left) meow, jungle, call, instinct, wild, lynx, primal, and roar. The names of the shades are on the plastic sanitary cover, so unless you don't care about that covering, don't throw it away!

 Jungle,meow,instinct,call, wild are all shimmers. The pigmentation is medium as most tarte eye shadows are.

 Lynx,primal, roar are mattes but the pigmentation on these are high. They pack a great color punch.

This look I used call,primal, roar, jungle and instinct. I loved this look!

 I used the mattes: primal, roar, and linx and they created a really nice smoky blueish grey look.

 The shadows are made of tarte's Amazonian Clay which has a great lasting power. Call of the Wild is priced at $36.

Anyone own this tarte palette? Let me know!

~Review~ Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lip Colour...

I've been so into lipsticks this year, that my poor lip glosses have been neglected. With Fall and Winter approaching #lipstickseason isn't going ANYWHERE for me!! 

I got the chance to try out Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lip Colour. I received  Cocoa( left below) and Red Amour (right below) out of the 18 shades available.

 ( picture taken in natural light)

 Cocoa and Red Amour swatches with flash....

 Cocoa is a deep, milk chocolate brown creme color with a bit of sheen. 

 I can't wait to wear this on a  cold, dreary day! I have something similar to this that's super old( like 6 years) that I didn't want to  throw away because it was discontinued. Can you say "dupe"??? Thanks Ms. Mercier!!

 Red Amour- is a blue toned red that's went on a bit glossy and sheer, but it's build-able.

Red Amour is perfect red shade. I wish it was a bit flatter and matte. I like my reds flat however its a great color.

OVERALL....

Cocoa and Red Amour are a great additions to my lipstick collection and will be worn consistently!! The formula goes on light ( likeRed Amour) but the lipstick itself is heavy with oils like Olive and Vitamin E and Jojoba Wax. I can tell that wax is in it by how it spreads which is slow. However, you are getting a serious amount of moisturization.

Retail: $26

Are you ready for #lipstickseason or has your lipstick season been going on since January like me? Let me know!
