Review 1 for The Private Affair Collection
Private Affair Collection
-05.18.13
Quick Take: good value, amazing liner, pigmented, amazing primer
Overall, I've really enjoyed this collection. The eyeshadows are beautiful and perfect for a plum smoky eye. While the eyeshadows are pigmented, soft, and very blendable, I did notice some fading after a few hours even with primer, which I why this gets 4 stars. Also, the lid to the eyeshadow doesn't stay open, which is a slight inconvenience when applying and the brush is useless. The eye primer is my favorite- I think it's better than UDPP because it allows eyeshadows to blend easier than UDPP, while still ensuring that your eyeshadow stays in place. The eyeliner is AMAZING! It's my HG liner and I now have all the colors. The plum is beautiful- it's muted enough to be able to be worn daily, yet slightly colored enough to make your eyes pop. I haven't tried the mascara yet, but I've read favorable reviews on it. Overall, I'm very happy with this set!

Great for travel
-05.18.13
Quick Take: good value
I love this set! I travel a lot to see family and go on trips. This is easy to pack and it has everything you need. I use these products at least 3-4 times a week. It makes a beautiful smoky eye and a pretty day look.

Review 3 for The Private Affair Collection
-05.10.13
The shadows are beautiful! They are all shimmery & highly pigmented. I love the color of the eyeliner, but unfortunately it has pretty low staying power. I wish it came in a gel formula with this set, because in my experience those last much longer. The mascara is okay, it's probably my least favorite mascara I have right now. The eye primer is good, seems to work well! The palette itself is pretty large; the primer and brush come in a little drawer under the shadows so it is pretty bulky and doesn't fit in my current cosmetic organization, but that is just a minor pet peeve.

Review 4 for The Private Affair Collection
Overall Great.
-05.09.13
Quick Take: good value
The palette itself is really nice eyeshadows are very pigmented and creamy fall out does happen but its an easy fix. The mascara is full size and the cream liner is great but takes a while to dry. First time trying Lorac. I would recommend this collection.

Lorac Shadows
-05.07.13
Quick Take: good value
These shadows turned out to be the best I've tried so far. I feel Lorac is much better than Stila or the Makeup Forever Smoky palette.

Review 7 for The Private Affair Collection
I didn't agree with the rave reviews
-05.06.13
I found the shadows to be harsh and not easily blendable. The liner smudges easily, as well. This was my first encounter with Lorac shadows and will be my last. The mascara is ok, but the formula goes on like a drugstore product. I'm glad this collection was not expensive.

Review 8 for The Private Affair Collection
dusty shimmery palette
-05.01.13
Quick Take: good value
The eye shadows are way too dark for me. I have pale skin (Asian) so any bit of color will show. I can tell that the pigments are very high quality but can't deal with all the powder dusting over my face when I apply them. I absolutely love the eyeliner. The color is perfect and texture is creamy/easy to apply. Bottom line, it's a great value.

Love this brand!
-04.28.13
The eyeshadow is what I wanted and I really like the pigments! The liner is amazing and ill start using it as my everyday liner. The brushes aren't very good and neither is the mascara. The primer is great and does its job! Even with the mascara that I don't like, it's a great value for what I did like.

Review 10 for The Private Affair Collection
Outstanding
-04.21.13
Quick Take: good value
The mascara is phenomenal in itself, definitely a holy grail product for myself along with the eyeshadow primer it comes with. The plum liner works like a charm and the shadows blend beautifully, although can look a little muddy if over blended.
If I were to run out of everything in this set I would definitely repurchase it again for myself, and a friend. Great product quality!

Review 11 for The Private Affair Collection
Love Lorac
-04.17.13
Quick Take: good value, full size, easy and great for all completions
When I made this purchase the pro mascara was pictured! I was so disappointed I immediately called and asked for the advertised mascara, which is my favorite.
Since it would take 3days I had to use the case and 3D mascara.
I loved it!!! I still prefer the pro, but this one does an amazing job lengthening!
I liked the eye shadows. The only drawback was I used my regular brush, because of the reviews and it picked up way too much shadow and made a mess! I used the brush provided, which I was very skeptical about and discovered it did a very good job! Love how everything stores! Not sure I am willing to give up the 3d mascara when e new kit arrives. Lol. Oh the eye primer is the best. My eyeshadow does not budge! The purple gel eyeliner is different but fun to p,ay with. It states on beautiful on top, but on the bottom it fades fast.

Review 12 for The Private Affair Collection
-04.15.13
Quick Take: good value, travel size, very pigmented, nice color selection
I love the colors in this palette. They make for a perfect purple smokey eye. And the other nude colors are pretty much all purpose. The eyeliner and mascara work well too. The brush is horrible. I use it to apply my primer and that's about it. But I love everything else!

Review 13 for The Private Affair Collection
Gorgeous!
-04.01.13
Quick Take: one of my favorites!
Love the super pigmented eyeshadows, no fall out. The creme eyeliner complements the eyeshadows perfectly. This kit has everything you need for elegant smoky eye and looks very dramatic. The case itself is gorgeous with the croc case. The brush is good. All I need to add is some foundation, little bronzer and lip gloss to look perfect!

Quick Take: good value, travel size, really good value!!!
This is my first time buying a LORAC product. I was not disappointed at all... Definitely a good buy!!!
I didn't get the LORAC PRO mascara that was advertised, but the 3D mascara was quite good. The eye shadows are very pigmented, a little goes a long way. I really like the cream eyeliner! Easy to apply with the brush it comes with. I'm not a fan of the eyeshadow brush the kit comes with, but that's what I have my other brushes for.
The entire kit is small, making it very travel friendly.

Review 15 for The Private Affair Collection
Pretty Good - Brush is Lousy but the Rest is Nice
-03.29.13
Quick Take: travel size
This is a nice set and I like the case and the colors. I have not used this style eyeliner before but I really like it and it is easier to use than I thought it would be. The primer and mascara are also nice. I read in another review that the brush was pretty lousy and I thought maybe they were just used to high end brushes, but they are right. The brush is awful. It is worse than the brushes from other Lorac sets I've purchased by far. Seems like Dollar Store material. Other than that - nice set. i like the case and how compact it is. The little drawer for the brush and primer is very convenient.

Review 16 for The Private Affair Collection
LORAC Private Affair
-03.28.13
Quick Take: poor quality
I was so excited to get this set, especially after reading all of the great reviews, but when I finally got it, I was underwhelmed. The colors are not at all like they look online, and the quality of all of the product in this set is quite poor for the price. I ended up sending it back almost as soon as I opened it up.

Lorac does it again!
-03.19.13
Quick Take: good value, very pigmented
This kit is a winer in my eyes! I just got it in the mail yesterday, swatched all the shades and eyeliner and fell in love! Today I am wearing the lightest shade as a highlight, the taupey brown shadow in my crease, and the plum shade on my lid. The shades are extremely pigmented and just as beautiful as the Lorac Pro Palette, only difference is all the shades in this kit are shimmery. This is the first time that I ever use a gel liner from Lorac and I loved how creamy it is and how it glided on. Again, as some of the other reviews, I did NOT recieve the mascara that is pictured here, I recieved the Lorac Multiplex 3D Lashes, which I have tried before and like. The mascara really holds the curl and lengthens my lashes.
The primer is comparable to the Urban Decay Primer Potion, makes my eye makeup last all day. The double ended brush is actually decent. I used the flat side to pat my eyeshadow on the lid and blend upward, the skinny pencil end is what I used to darken my crease.
All in all, this is a great kit to try a little bit of everything. Out of all the Lorac products I have tried, I have not been dissapointed!
