I recently picked up the new Lorac The Getaway Eye/Cheek Palette ($20 Exclusively at Nordstrom) and I wanted to share my first impression and swatches with you so that you can decide whether you'd like to purchase it before it sells out. Last year's palette sold out really fast and since it's limited edition, it won't be back once it's gone (although you might see it on HauteLook at some point like last year's palette). Let's take a look!
The Getaway palette comes in a beautifully designed box that has pops of red, green, pink and gold...it's really eye catching.
This palette is just beautiful to look at and is going to be perfect for my Spring and Summer travels. It'll be nice to pack one palette for a weekend trip that I can use for my entire face, especially since I can see myself using every single shade in this palette. I love that it contains such wearable shades but still has a few pops of color and smoky shades too. It also has a nice mix of mattes and shimmers so it's just a really versatile palette all around.
The bottom row has a matte black, matte deep blue, shimmery gold, a matte peach blush, and a matte bronzer.
I swatched all the shades on bare skin with no primer. These are one swipe so you can see that the great pigmentation we expect from Lorac is present in this palette. The only shade I had even a little trouble with was the matte black shade, which swatched a little bit patchy. The rest are buttery and soft and pick up easily with a brush. The matte shades have very little fallout while the shimmers do have some...totally not a dealbreaker for me though. They pick up so easily with a brush, it's easy to overdo it...especially with the blushes. On my skin, the eyeshadow and blush lasts all day and was still easy to see when I went to wash my face before bed.
