Not as great
-05.17.13
Quick Take: good value
I love the eyeliner. That is simply amazing. The eyeshadow just is not one of my favorites. I feel like this shadow is thick to apply no matter how you try to lighten it up. I felt like it was more "stage" make-up. The liquid eyeliner pen is a smooth, applicable eyeliner. I noticed you have to apply after a few hours to the top lids (even with primer) but still one of my favorites.

& My lorac obsession grows.
-04.08.13
This is the third "eye" kit I have bought from Lorac, and it is tied in 1st place with the other two as my best make-up purchase ever. I thought I loved their Pro mascara, I love this one even more. I have naturally long thick lashes and occasionally with good mascara I get asked if I am wearing fake lashes, but with this mascara I got asked so many times in one day I was tugging on them in front of my friends to prove it!!!! It does clump them up a bit but nothing a metal lash comb didn't fix. The eyeshadow is freakin gorgeous, so pigmented and will last forever with their primer! I wake up at 6am go to work then gym and then out with friends at night, and it is still kicking the NEXT morning when I wake up, I am dead serious. The eyeliner is great and goes on so perfect everytime, I do see it fade after like 6-8 hours a bit, but it was still there even the next morning, all but very outer edges. The brush is the only thing I am not head over heels for. The brush in the Pro eye kit is my fave. All in all it is beyond worth it. I would probably pay double the price for this kit.

great set
-04.06.13
I originally bought this just for the primer. The mascara is nice, I'm not a fan of the primer. The brush isn't awful, but its not something I would use unless I was really trying to travel light. The colors in the baked shadow are easy for both day and night. The eyeliner is decent though I'll stick to using gel liners.

Lorac...Amazing Value& High Quality!!!
-02.28.13
I've been back & forth about purchasing this kit for some time!! I love the lorac eye liner pen, just that alone is $20! And for Just another $17, this cute box contains "5" of their top award winning products!!! That makes each piece a little over $7! The liner is my favorite. It's very intense& glides on effortlessly. Even if you are anxious about using a liquid liner, relax, they make this so easy for you. Liquid liner really makes your eyes pop! They include an eye primer, mascara&lash primer(which I don't really like. It doesn't give my lashes enough volume or length, even with 2 or 3 coats) The shadows are amazing, the colors compliment everyone's eye color& they make them to coordinate with a perfect smokey eye. Also a dual ended eye shadow brush, it is really cheap& they even include a booklet to guide you into doing different looks. The mascara & brush, not so good, BUT, still well worth the quality & $!

This is a GREAT PURCHASE!
-02.02.13
Quick Take: good value, amazing quality, unbelievably pigmented shadow, one of the best liners for your upper lid, great color combo! plz sell solo!
My mother picked this up for me the last time she was in Frisco, & I couldn't have been happier.
Everything comes in a full size (no mini's), the mascara was great, the eyeliner is AMAZING & perfect for the winged eye that is in style. The primer is amazing, the brush is meh, & the starry-eyed baked shadow it came with, Movie Star (I think that's the name), is INCREDIBLE!!! It's a champagne shimmer, a pinkish-gold shimmer, & a charcoal. A PERFECT trio for anyone!
I would love to know why this particular trio isn't available with the other Starry-Eyed baked shadow trio's...I'm about finished with it, & would love to repurchase just the shadow...
All in all, this is a great set at a great price (as are most all Lorac product sets)!

One of my favorite eyeshadows come from Lorac and also my first! I use the top two for a more natural look and at if im feeling edgy, i'll add in the black shade. I really like their eyeshadows, i've switch them up between my NAKED palette.

Fantastic Starter Kit
-01.04.13
Quick Take: great value all full sized items
I hadn't purchased Lorac products before and I was in need of a few of the items that came in this kit anyway so I decided to try it. Considering the individual prices of each item, this is a fabulous deal. All the items were full sized so you're getting a good value. The brush it comes with is just OK but I LOVE the primer, it sets your eyeshadow all day. The mascara is great too, no flaking or clumping. The eyeshadow trio is really nice also, I use the black and the lightest color the most, it's nice that it's not crumbly so you can wear it with or without primer.

The eye primer is the best one I've ever used. I adore the Movie Star palette and reading the instructions on how to get the best out of it was super helpful. The mascara is amazing and I am so happy I bought this set.

awesome!!
-12.21.12
i love love LOVE this kit. my friend told me about this. we were at the hampton for wine tasting & decided to go straight to the beach to have fun. after taking a dip in the beach, i noticed her eye makeup stayed the same while i had racoon eyes. she used this kit & the primer was the key to prevent racoon eyes. she was right!
i love the eye liner, best eye liner i have ever used! the mascara is also a 5-star because it doesnt leave clumps. the shadow is perfect for smokey eye. and the primer goes on smooth & silky. now i dont have to bring qtips with me to clean my undereyes from black liner smudging.

I REALLY like this! All of the products are full sized! I bought this last year to do my new year's makeup and everyone commented on my makeup. There's a booklet inside that tells you how to do three looks.

Great beginner's kit
-10.23.12
Quick Take: good value, all inclusive set, simple application, foolproof directions, great as gift
This kit seriously comes with everything one would need to achieve a day and night look. Lorac is genius. I'm a huge fan of the liquid liner, primer, and eye shadow trio. I never used the brush because I already have a great set, and I'm not a huge fan of the mascara brush. While it does allow for more precise application, the bristles are too stiff and very uncomfortable. Great value for the price tho - all products come in full sizes! Great to give as a gift to a friend (or yourself ;) )!

Quick Take: good value, full size amazing value
So I was in the store shopping, stopped in front of the Lorac. A woman approached me and told me this is the best makeup she ever tried. She went on and on about the eyelinger, mascara and shadow. So I gave it a try and I am sooo happy I did! I love every part of it! Thank you strang lady! The eyeliner takes a lot of practice if you are not use to a liquid liner. The mascara gives me million mile long lashes. I am 41 and I get complimented on how great I look all the time since purchasing this set. I am on this site to buy the other Lorac set to see if I like it as well. Good luck!

Great Value
-08.27.12
This kit includes everything I needed to restock in my cosmetics bag, so I bought it! My favorites are the eyeliner and primer. I have not found a better eyeliner! The eyeshadow is good but I would almost prefer it without the shimmer for an everyday look. The mascara wears well all day and really does make my eyelashes look longer/fuller. The problem is I am usually too lazy to do the two steps!
