LORAC Private Affair Palette

Another day another post loves!

Palette: LORAC's Private Affair Palette <~~ Click this link if you want to check it out on Sephora's website.

I have had plenty of time to use and familiarize myself with this palette and now it's time for the review =D 

Feel free to read on and enjoy the pictures.

General description:

This palette comes in a faux wine crocodile palette entailing 6 beautiful colors. This palette reminds me of an abridged version of Urban Decay's "Naked" palette (BUT if you can get the Naked Palette, I say go with that. It's a better deal, you get more colors, and it's only $6 more for twice as many colors). It comes with Lorac's Eyeshadow Primer and a double ended brush (they say blender and smudger).

The palette itself comes in and attractive faux wine crocodile exterior

Characteristics:

• The shadows are "soft" - this means that you really need to be light handed when dabbling into the shadows otherwise you end up picking a lot of colors and can experience much fallout
• The colors are wonderfully pigmented ( Yay- Factor)
• The colors are very pigmented when swatched with your finger

On the side, there is a compartmentalized drawer that contains 0.19 Eye Primer and a double ended brush

Pros:

• Highly pigmented colors
• The eyeshadow primer is GREAT! Highly effective and it doesn't show up as an ashy  peachy color on darker skin ( Yay - Factor)
• Even though the palette entails only 6 colors there are several shadow options
• The shadows are easily blendable
• Perk for dark skinned beauties - the shades are pigmented enough for our complexions.

Cons:

• The brush that comes with this palette is DINGY. IT's a FAIL as in F+! After the first use, this DINGY brush fell apart. In terms of its quality, it is not up to par with the eyeshadows nor the primer. Honestly, it should not have been included in the palette. The only bit of credit I will give this DINGY brush is that second picture of the looks included below was entirely done with this dingy brush. 
• IF you don't know how to dabble in with a light hand, this palette will not be your friend as you will waste a lot of shadow and experience much fallout
• Not an issue for me, but some people are disappointed in how well this palette swatches by hand in comparison to how it swatches via brush..but what shadow swatches the same via brush in comparison to ones finger?
• Aside from dingy brushes, my second biggest pet peeve is palettes inclusive of plasticy fake mirrors...as the one in this palette. It's useless and I do not plan on creating any looks in using the included mirror.

From left to right: Creamy beige with pearl, champagne rose with shimmer, soft taupe with pearl, platinum grey with pearl, deep wine with shimmer, black with sparkle.

Another look!!

Is this palette Kai approved?

• HECK YES! It's lovely. This palette would make a wonderful gift and the colors are great for the autumn and winter seasons. 
• Enjoy!
