Quick Take: lorac little black palette
These shadows glide on as if they are cream based, but they aren't! The colors are true and high quality!
You definitely get what you pay for in this product and I will buy more of it!

Best eyeshadow EVER?!!!
-03.21.13
Quick Take: shimmery, pigmented, perfect
I have been using this palette for about a year and a half now, and I have to say it is hands down the best product I've ever used for my eyes.
I absolutely love the colors and how they work for my skin tone (light/medium in the winter/spring; medium/tan in the summer/fall), They are shimmery but still somehow appropriate for everything from class to formal events to running errands!
I love this palette so much that I even shared it with my mom! Now it's all she uses, too!
Overall, I just want to thank Lorac for making such an awesome product that has really lived up to the hype and created a customer for life...I seriously use this palette every day and couldn't imagine my beauty routine without it!!

Good eye shadow palette
-03.18.13
The shadows are extremely pigmented, soft and shimmery. The packaging is bulky and not travel friendly. The Primer is okay.

This palette is amazing! You can make such an amazing bronze smokey eye. All these colors can be worn together or alone! I love the primer too. Favor that over urban decay

Very underrated palette
-01.24.13
Quick Take: good value, not portable at all
Everyone talks about the Naked palette, but I feel Lorac's palette deserves some spotlight too. The eyeshadows are all EXTREMELY pigmented, shimmery, and beautiful. They are smooth, soft, and apply easily. I literally went around the gigantic Sephora (in Las Vegas) and swatched Every. Single. Neutral/Brown. Eyeshadow Palette. Lorac's Little Black Palette was one of the best when it came down to colors, pigmentation, softness/smoothness, and price. Of course I eventually ended up getting Lorac's, even though I was tempted to get the Dior 5-eyeshadow palette. The shades in the palette are neutral: top left is a lovely light yellowish cream color, top right is a nice light neutral leaning towards a pinkish hue, bottom left is a lovely bronze with a slight pink hue again, and bottom right is a beautiful dark dark brown that is more cool toned than the rest of the palette. It is my absolute Holy Grail for neutral eyeshadows, even though I do love my Naked palette as well. The eye primer works as well as Urban Decay's Primer Potion, however the tube I got seemed to dry out near the end of using it up, so it became very difficult to apply. Otherwise, it is a lovely eye primer that does not have parabens, but does have Phenoxyethanol.
I absolutely loathe the packaging though. So bulky, not travel-friendly at all, and just a waste of space. If you can ignore that (or depot it like I did) then you should consider purchasing this absolutely lovely, pigmented, well-worth-your-money palette from Lorac.

Quick Take: portable, good value
I'm not s huge fan of baked eye shadows. But when I seen these colors I had to try them. They are beautiful! I did my niece makeup for prom, I used these 4 colors on her. It came out so beautiful. I did a makeup look on youtube with these. If you want to see how the colors look on someone, feel free to watch! =)

Shadows break
-01.12.13
The colors are great, the primer is great I have no problem with the colors or quality of the shadows. The packaging is the problem. The shadows are raised out of the box inside of sunk into a pot and they break. I'm not rough with it, I just gently set it back in my makeup bag and set it on a shelf and every time I open it, there are more broken pieces. I would suggest buying these in a different form, I've had to shake a lot of broken pieces into the garbage. :(

WOW! Love this eyeshadow!
-01.03.13
I love this eyeshadow, the colors are perfect (I use all 4 when going out at night!), and having the primer is a major bonus. It looks great in pictures - which was a big selling point for me. My only issue, is that even with the primer the colors don't last all day. I have to freshen up a couple of times if I wear it for many hours. Maybe I need to invest in one of those finishing sprays.

I love it!
-12.25.12
Quick Take: portable, good value, velvety shadows, long-lasting color (with primer), great colors
I got this palette a few weeks ago, and have been using it every day since! I love the feel of the shadows; they're so smooth and velvety. Also, the colors compliment my fair skin, and I'm sure it would do the same for other skin tones as well. I really think it's worth the money, because it comes with an awesome primer that goes well with my oily lids.
Some people say that the colors fade, but WITH the primer, they last all day ( I mean, COME ON! If you want your shadow to last, wear primer! It's a no-brainer...). So, I would try them if I were you! It's a great deal.

I love this pallete. It is the perfect "go-to" kit. The colors look very natural and there are several ways that you can blend them together to create different looks. I normally use the lightest color to highlight, and the darkest for a smokey eye effect.

Alright
-11.02.12
I like all the colors except for the lower left, it's too golden shimmery for my liking. The packaging isn't so great either. The primer (which doesn't work, UD is way better) won't stay in it's home so it comes out and breaks the shadows. Highly pigmented though.

better than Naked
-10.29.12
This is a really fun set. The top right color was my go-to for months until it ran out. Now I'm using a Stila gold as base, then the lower left for contour and the upper left for highlight. I have never used the bottom right color.
Pros: Good price and good quantities of product. I love the upper right color. They set well with the primer. The shimmer is just right, very pretty when applied. Overall, I'm using a lot more of this palette than I am my Naked palette (using approx. 4 of the 12 Naked colors vs. using 3 of the 4 here).
Cons: I'll never use the bottom right color

Now...for those who say this isn't pigmented....they are crazy!! I have used this pallet everyday for over 2 years and I love it!! It's my everyday go to eyeshadow. Now if you don't like shimmer on your eye - don't buy this. But the shimmer never leaves my eyelid. Love and can't live without this pallet.

Not enough pigment
-08.03.12
Love the colors which is why i bought it, but one of the worst eyeshadows I've ever purchased. Almost no pigment, and what there is, will disappear shortly thereafter. I want to love something as much as the Chanel eyeshadows I use, but I haven't found one yet. Unfortunately sephora does not carry Chanel color products.
