LORAC Mint Edition Collection Swatches & Review

Hey Everyone, I recently got the LORAC Mint Edition Collection and wanted to share with you the swatches, price and reviews!

 So here above is the palette inside. It's so beautiful. First I have been lusting for this palette lucky for me I have patience lol. I waited until it was on sale. On the LORAC website it's priced at $18.00 + Free Shipping. Total its was $19.14 for this beautiful palette. Reg: $36.00 Talk about great timing! Check it out on the sale section of the website. I am making a companion video to this post where you can see the shadows in action. 
The colors don't have names however you can see that the top 3 are matte and lower 3 are shimmery. Blush has shimmer and can almost be used as a highlight. The top 3 need atleast 2 applications as the 1st layer is kind of sheer. The mint should have been a little more powerful since this palette is the M.E. However the bottom row of neutrals are outstanding. Creamy and Shimmery. All are soft. The blush is amazing pink/coral. This is THE Spring palette however the plums/neutrals are perfect for fall looks. Here are swatches of the eye shadows.  

 It comes with a beautiful and stylish silver mesh and mint wristlet. Silver mesh on top of mint fabric. Not a cheap makeup bag but a sturdy wristlet. Accompanying my haul are a couple YSL blushes you see there that I showed in my haul. The kit also came with a vibrant cupcake smelling lipgloss! 

\The lipgloss is in Christian. Vibrant light pink and hot pink swirls! defiantly a savings getting a gloss too.  I think this palette is so universal. It was chosen with what looks to me as a palette for every skin type, which is rare but amazing when you find it. When you order you also get a free sample of Tantalizer gradual self tanner. My interest is peeked lol. More soon on more palettes and a new series called Month of Manicure's. At the end of every month I will put together photo's and nail polishes to make different looks. I hope it will inspire you! Here are a couple of photo's doing a demo of a Plum Fall Look> Video on this Look!!

First Impression using the shadows on my eyes are they are buttery. The top row is just as pigmented as the bottom. The creamy off white matte shade slides on better with a brush than in a swatch. The plum purple is so pigmented you can almost use it as liner as well. The lilac shimmer shade is fantastic. Used in the inner portion of my lid while the plum is on the outer and outer V. Brings a brightness to the corners. This look is effortless as the colors blend well and fast!!!!
