Stunning!
-05.18.13
I'll admit, it was the adorable packaging that suckered me in, but this quickly became one of my favorite palettes! The eyeshadows are wonderfully pigmented (I do have to layer the mint shadow over a white base, but the color is so beautiful I don't mind this extra step) and unique. I use the highlighter in this palette almost everyday. The lipstick is a beautiful color but very sticky, though I can ignore the stickiness because of the amazing scent. It's like vanilla heaven! Overall, this is a fantastic buy.

Great value for money
-05.18.13
Quick Take: good value
I bought several of these palettes as a gift for each of my bridesmaids. First of all, the packaging is adorable (and matched my mint-colored bridesmaids' dresses perfectly). I love the colors included in the palette; beautiful choices for spring/summer makeup. The lipgloss if perfect, bringing out the natural color of each girls' lips with a soft gloss - and its super long lasting. The highlight and blush are easily buildable, and they look natural on the girls. The eye dark eyeshadows are very strong with some falling below the eye upon application. Overall, this was a great purchase. I think my girls really liked the gift, and I'm so happy with how their makeup looked on the wedding day!

Half-and-Half
-05.11.13
Quick Take: travel size
So the packaging is a-freaking-dorable, and I was immediately drawn to it. I had originally been looking at the PRO palette, and I really really wish I had. I had such high expectations for this palette, after hearing so many good things about Lorac shadows.
What I found is that the lighter colors (3 of the mattes and the white shimmer) were chalky and so so light. Extremely light. As in "wow is there anything on at all" light. Especially considering the fact that I have a few matte browns that are the same color and show up quite well, I was shocked and disappointed. The other colors, however, including the GORGEOUS blush and highlighter, are perfect and heavily pigmented. I guess it's the color difference?
The gloss is gorgeous. Very pretty, blended into my natural lip color beautifully.
I'll actually be returning this palette. Although I love half of it, it's not enough for the price. Cute packaging, some pretty shadows, but not worth it in my opinion.

Great value. Eye shadows are highly pigmented. Gloss is a great universal shade.

Favorite Palette!<3.
-05.04.13
Quick Take: good value, pigmented, quality packaging, travel friendly, beautiful colors, range of finishes
I immediately fell in love with this product when I saw it online! I'm obsessed with this mint, Tiffany blue color and just had to have it. I had never tried Lorac eye shadows before and honestly could not believe their quality! To begin with, the colors are beautiful, they really worked on creating a good set of colors that work well together and which offer a wide range of looks! This palette contains all the shadows you need, I love how they incorporated the variance of matte and shimmer shades! And to top it off it has a blush and highlighter, in beautiful colors that reflect the eye shadows and look well on everyone! I travel a lot, and therefore love palette's like this because I don't need to carry any other eye palette with me, nor blush or highlighter! It's great! I honestly feel as though they made this palette for me, everything from the amazing quality packaging, to the eye shadow shades, pigmentation, and quality, I am just overwhelmed with how amazing this product is! Lorac can seriously count on me being a return customer, fell in love with this brand!

Great First Impression
-04.13.13
I had never tried LORAC before. Went in for the PRO palette and got this one instead. I am beyond happy with it. The colors are beautiful and very blendable. The blush and highlighter are perfect for my fair skin tone. I also love the gloss, but am not that fond of the brush applicator.

Quick Take: good value, highly recommend, all in one
This palette was my first purchase from Lorac, and I was blown away by the quality! The matte colors are great and the shimmers blend really well. The highlighter is very shimmery, so use it with caution without over doing the look. Meanwhile the blush is a lovely color. I did my own make up for my wedding, using this palette, the colors didn't fade and looked fantastic through the whole event. And the lip gloss smells of vanilla, so sweet and pretty!

AMAZING PALETTE!!!
-03.04.13
I have fair skin with red undertones. I was nervous about the mint color not showing up but I just put white as a primer and its beautiful! Also I'm loving the blush and color of the lip stick. The consistency of the lip stick feels more like a lip gloss to me and stays on for about the same time but I like the glossy look so I'm happy :D

I've been searching for a palette that had everything I needed for my every day look...this is it! The shadows have depth and blend well, ditto the blush and highlighter. First time trying the lipstick, I love the color, but the brush applicator could use some work.

Quick Take: good value, travel size, pigmented, very blendable
This is my second LORAC palette, and I have to say that this brand has already become one of my very favorites. The colors in this palette are beautiful and unique! There are not a lot of palettes like this one, so buy it before it's too late.
Bonus: the packaging is lovely!

Lasting Impression
-02.21.13
Quick Take: good value
This is my first time buying any LORAC product and I have to say it left a great first impression.
Both mattes and shimmers are very blend-able. I experienced some fallout but not much. I have an ivory skin tone and I've found all of the colors to be flattering on my skin. It does a great retro neutral eye. The shadows stay perfectly in place for 9+ hours.
I don't really care for lipgloss so I'm weary for liquid lipsticks as well but I really enjoyed the formula. It was heavier than a gloss but not too sticky and the color really sets off the shadows. Can be long lasting if not eating or drinking.

-02.14.13
Quick Take: good value, travel size
The palette is travel friendly since it contains both shimmer and matte colors and a highlighter and a blush. So it could save ya some space in your suitcase ;) I LOVE the highlighter! I'd buy it if they sold it separately just because. The shadows are gorgeous colors and BLEND OUT amazing but they are powdery and prone to fallout and the dark color I used had ALOT of fallout even when I tapped off my brush. Thats my only downfall and reason for 4*Stars. Also the cream color on the left upper corner says its a matte but it does have silver micro glitter in it... the base is still matte though. The Lip Color says its a liquid lipstick but I still feel that when I applied it it wore like a lipgloss and looked like a lipgloss... not a lipstick.. Although it is a lovely neutral shade that I think a lot of different people would like :)

High Quality, Shades not Suitable for Me
-02.09.13
Quick Take: good value
The case is cute and I like the symmetrical layout. I was surprised by the liquid lipstick. I hadn't read the description when I purchased the palette and thought it was a lip gloss. The lipstick has great coverage. I have highly pigmented lips and this covered them well. The eyeshadows are soft and easy to apply.
My skin is fair so most of the colors were too pale for me and washed me out or were too dark and looked garish. The biggest disappointment was the mint blue green; it just looked white.
The highlighter has an odd consistency. Its hard to describe, like a heavy powder, not fine, like some rough product.
Other than the highlighter, I thought all the products were quality. I found none of the colors to be flattering in anyway on me, except for the lipstick, but not enough that I would purchase it. For me, this is a definate return item.
I think on someone tan, the colors would show up more.

Lorac does it again, with this Mint Edition Palette Palette! A MUST HAVE! Eyeshadows are creamy, pigmented, easy to blend, blush is an amazing shade! Highlighter is the perfect glow to finish off the look.
