My LORAC PRO Palette Collection!

Hello everyone,

Today I'm sharing swatches and photos of every LORAC PRO palette I own. A few of my lovely subscribers have asked for swatches and comparisons of the PRO palettes especially the Mega PRO palettes.



So after searching through my external hard drive, I found the photos I used many months back to review these individually here on my blog. Reader be warned, this will be a very picture heavy post :)

**Before I get into each palette, the quality and pigmentation on all PRO palettes is outstanding. For me, everything about these checks off each box of "must haves" in an eyeshadow.

Here are the original Pro palettes (1 & 2) that are currently available at Ulta (online and in stores) and on the LORAC Cosmetics website. Both retail for $42 and contain 16 eyeshadows, 8 which are matte finish and 8 shimmer/metallic finish.

*LORAC PRO 1: I would categorize this one as the everyday palette that's full of basic neutrals. A definite staple in any makeup collection.



L to R:
Lt. Pink, Taupe, Cream & White
L to R:
Black, Brown, Sable & Mauve
L to R:
Lt. Bronze, Gold, Champagne & Nude
Salte, Deep Purple, Garnet & Pewter

*LORAC PRO 2: While this one has a several basic neutrals, you get more pops of color with the Jade, Plum and Navy shades. Again, another staple item!

The LORAC Mega PRO 1 and Mega PRO 2 palettes are double the size of the regular PRO palettes. These are limited edition palettes containing 32 gorgeous eyeshadows and retail for $59.

*LORAC Mega PRO 1: I would categorize this one with not only your neutrals that are needed in many looks but with an emphasis on berry type shades. I find the colors in this Mega PRO 1 palette to be more rich and deep in tone.

Well, there you have it! All of my beloved PRO palettes :) 

From the swatches above you can see the quality of each eyeshadow. Along all 4 PRO palettes, the only color that is repeated is black. Some would say why include black in each palette while others would appreciate it. I don't mind it because it's a useful shade. 

I adore these and would highly recommend them. One thing to note, the Mega PRO 1 was from 2014 Holiday so unfortunately, it's not longer available. The Mega PRO 2 is from this year 2015 Holiday and is currently in stock on Ulta's website.

LORAC Mega PRO Palette Review + Swatches

Welcome back to my blog!


Today is a very exciting post for me because I'm finally sharing my initial thoughts of LORAC's Mega Pro palette that recently launched. This has been the most anticipated palette in a while from what I could tell from Social Media (Twitter & Instagram). LORAC has been teasing us since August about the release of this wonderful palette and it's finally here!!!!! When I first saw the photos on Instagram, my heart skipped a beat! I'm a huge LORAC fan and a definite eyeshadow palette freak so this purchase was an easy one. 

I'm so pumped to film makeup tutorials using this palette. I have done several fall inspired makeup looks already and you will definitely see more using the Mega Pro palette. The LORAC website is currently sold out and they're not restocking unfortunately. Amazon is the only other place that sells it and they should be (if not already sold out) receiving another shipment. Keep checking Amazon to see if they'll have it available. 
Let's get into the photos, review and swatches :) 


cardboard packaging like the other
two Pro palettes previously released.

The thickness and width of the Mega Pro is the same as the original Pro and the Pro 2 palette. The only difference is that the Mega Pro which contains 32 eyeshadows is longer in size.


Such a beautiful selection of colors!!
First two rows are all matte
Last two rows are shimmers & metallics

I'm loving the shade arrangement in this palette. It offers multiple options for highlight shades, to several mid tones to a few deep tones for crease work. I find this is a well rounded palette that is the perfect additional to anyone's makeup collection.

*Mega Pro contains 4 repeat shades from the original Pro palette (Cream, White, Espresso & Black).


Another look inside the palette.
Great size mirror!

I know the exterior color isn't a big deal but I think it's a beautiful fall color :) I have no complaints about packaging. 

Swatch Time!!

Overall, I'm impressed with this palette and the colors. I find some swatch better than others but it's not a big deal. I do believe for the price ($59), you get an amazing value; a total of 32 eyeshadows. I actually expected this palette to cost a whole lot more. LORAC in my opinion makes really good eyeshadows. I have never complained about the other two Pro palettes and I truly believe they're all worth the investment. 

I hope this quick review with swatches and photos was helpful. Please leave me any feedback you have, I'd love to hear from you.
