Hey glammies! Like I said, I've been trying to review more products for you guys, especially palettes since those are typically the most bang for your buck. This palette was recommended and highly talked about by a big YouTube beauty blogger Jaclyn Hill and when I saw it was on clearance on Sephora's website, well I went for it.
This palette is pretty tiny for a LORAC palette, since it only comes with 4 shadows. All of them shimmer.
These eyeshadows are "baked" shadows so the beauty of them is you can use them dry for a softer look, or wet for a more intense creamier look.
I've swatched them dry and wet down below for you to check out. Unfortunately, this palette doesn't list the names of the colors, so I won't be able to help you with that.

So my overall impressions of this palette is basically that the colors they provide are beautiful. They all work well together, the shadows are creamy and highly pigmented and leave your skin glowing. They have gold undertones so they really bring brown eyes out, check out my look down below. The one thing though that I don't like about this palette is that there are no matte shades. Yes, I know it's rare to have a baked matte shadow, but since there isn't one, the look isn't grounded. There's nothing to offset the shimmer especially in the crease.

If you are a shimmer/satin eyeshadow fan and not having a matte shade doesn't matter, then you are going to love this palette, it is really compact and even comes with an eye primer that works well with the LORAC line. But if you are a girl/guy who needs to have a matte shadow then I would say look into another palette like the Pro-To-Go which offers both and then some!! This palette can be found on LORAC's website here http://www.loraccosmetics.com/make-up_little-black-palette.html and it's on sale for $17! Which is such a steal!!!
So yes, overall I love the palette for what it is, and will be experimenting with the shadows even more, but I wouldn't buy it for full price or be able to solely travel/use this palette without something else, even though I tried!!! I need a matte color!!!
Do you guys have a favorite baked shadow palette you like? Let me know about it!!
