Makeup Monday | LORAC Unzipped Palette Review

So if you haven't been able to tell yet, I kind of binged on LORAC palettes. Why you ask? Well, honestly they were on sale, like I said I'm sad Sephora is taking LORAC out of their stores, but their loss is my cheap sweet sweet gain.

The last of the palette's I've bought after tons of research, was the LORAC Unzipped Palette. Unlike the other palettes that were brown and bronze-toned neutrals. This palette is supposed to give the Naked3 a run for it's money in rosy-toned shadows.


So this palette unlike the Naked3 doesn't have any shadows with actual glitter in it. Most of the shadows are shimmer with 4 matte colors, which is one more then the Naked3. Also, all the shadows are buttery (the typical MO of LORAC palettes) and blend easily. They of course come with an eye primer, but an eye primer isn't necessary to get beautiful color pay-off, or stay all day wear.

I will say though, that unlike the Naked3 these don't have purple and pink undertones, they have mauve and brown undertones, so if you are looking for pinks, this isn't your palette.

I feel like this palette is the palette for people who have grown out of glitter shadows and are interested in warm tone colors. Everyone I've put these shadows on, it just gives you a sophisticated glow to your eye makeup and it is so easy to get an amazing look! I feel like my pictures aren't doing the looks justice. Honestly.





The colors that I'm completely obsessed with and used in this look are Unbelievable, Unreal, Unconditional, and Unbridled. They are just so magical and make the most beautiful grounded look. I have been rocking it since the palette came. It makes me feel so girly I can't even start to begin to gush about it again. 

I think why I really love this palette is that you have such a range of tones and in each tone at least one matte, so you could work within each tone and still get a completed grounded eye look in each one should you not want to go crazy with color (or don't have the time). You could use one brush and get a look. While on the other hand, you could take it from a neutral look to an intense smoky evening eye and everywhere in between. It's pretty fool proof.

So, I hope that helps! I know now that I have this, I feel like I have enough rosy-shades that actually flatter my skin and eyes that I won't be looking for anything else. What about you? What Rosy palette will you pick up for your collection?
