Doop-da-doo, there I was, happily skippin’ down the street, Tabs’ leash in one hand, ice cream truck money in the other (one Drumstick please…actually two, ’cause I’m PMS-ing!), when I stumbled upon a tree bearing the most unusual fruit.
The branches hung low, weighed down not with plump, juicy apples or ripe peaches, however with bushels of new LORAC pro Palettes.

På ekte!
I stood there with my mouth agape, staring up in awe, as more as well as more community beauty addicts gathered ’round, as well as women, men, young as well as old alike, all marveled at the miracle makeup tree.
Each of the $42 palettes (a $110 value), which hung next to a small tube of Behind the Scenes Eye Shadow, housed 16 powder eyeshadows in neutral shades, eight of them matte shades as well as eight of them shimmers.

I might have stood there all the time if it hadn’t been for Tabs…
He ran toward the tree, claws poised as well as prepared to climb the trunk!
“Stoppe!” I called out to him. I wasn’t about to watch my 20-pound tabby get stuck in a makeup tree, so I skittered over as well as scooped him up.
That’s when I heard somebody near me ask if anyone had tried the palette.
“I have,” I said, slinging Tabs over my shoulder. Tabs grumbled, of course, in response. “I believe it’s quite good. I like that it includes an even mix of mattes as well as shimmers as well as that most of the colors are awesome toned.”
I plucked one of the palettes from a branch as well as handed it to a lady standing next to me with a red stroller.
“Makes it a bit different from the other neutral eyeshadow palettes that are out there,” I said. “Here, swatch the eyeshadows. They’re super soft, simple to blend, too, as well as most are packed with pigment.”
I felt a bit tickle on the back of my head. Hmm… It was Tabs, chomping on my hair — his method of letting me understand that he was hungry as well as prepared to go home.
Just then a perky teenager using glittery golden eyeliner asked me a concern about fallout.
“There is some,” I replied, “so you may want to do your eye makeup first, as well as then comply with with foundation as well as powder. Or, tap-tap-tap your clean against something to eliminate a few of the excess powder before applying.”
The LORAC pro Palette
The two-piece set includes one 0.17-oz mini Behind the Scenes Eye shadow primer as well as one combination full of 16 0.32-ounce pans of powder pro Eye Shadow.
The matte shades are White, Cream, Taupe, Light Pink, Mauve, Sable, Espresso as well as Black; the shimmers include Nude, Champagne, Gold, Light Bronze, Pewter, Garnet, Deep Purple as well as Slate.
LORAC creator Carol Shaw designed the shadows to be used wet or dry.
One product of note regarding the shimmers: when used dry, the radiate slowly mellows out over time, turning into more of a sheen by midday.
I like exactly how the surface of the shimmers modifications over time, going from a high-shine to a sheen, however if you’d rather keep the mirror-shine throughout the day, try applying them with a wet brush.
PRICE: $42 each

At the miracle makeup tree, I stated goodbye to my new buddies as well as took my cranky tabby home.
It’s like I always say, “makeup brings people together!”
Later that afternoon, I went back to the tree with my camera in hand, however wouldn’t ya understand it? — the tree was gone.
Was everything a dream? Jeg lurte. I assumption I’ll never know…
