I got my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale haul this week, and believe it or not, I only bought one beauty product...the Lorac Refined Romance Palette ($18). There are a lot of great beauty deals to be had, but I blew the majority of my budget on my wardrobe...there are SO many cute fall clothes and shoes out right now (and fall is my favorite season to buy clothes, hands down). Still, if I had to buy one beauty item, I'm so glad I chose this...at $18, it's a steal!
Let's take a look...
The palette doesn't have the shade names written on it anywhere, but according to the Nordstrom website, the shades are as follows:
Eyeshadows:
- Ivory Shimmer
- Gold Shimmer
- Burgundy/Brown Shimmer
- Light Rose/Taupe Matte
- Light Purple Shimmer
- Burgundy/Brown Matte
Face Powders:
- Cream Shimmer
- Light Pink Shimmer
- Rose Matte Blush
I want to mention that this palette is made in China and in the past, they haven't been the same standard of quality as the US-made Lorac palettes. However, this one is everything I would expect from Lorac...the shades are highly pigmented, soft and easy to pick up. They go on beautifully and I really feel like you're getting a $40+ palette for $18.
These swatches are on bare skin, no primer and the matte shades are as intense and pigmented as the shimmer shades.
This is a limited edition, Nordstrom exclusive so don't wait if you're thinking about getting this one. It's definitely worth the money and will take you from the summer right into the fall/winter season with beautiful neutral shades.
