WOW Wednesday: California Dreaming Palette by Lorac
Hey Guys!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Things this past semester got extremely hectic and I am now home and on the upside of things so I wanted to post something to you all. The post I am putting out today is a review of the Lorac California Dreaming Palette. I know this is different than a typical WOW Wednesday but since I missed out on Meview Monday - I've decided to do it here! :)
On to the Review...
The Palette comes with 12 shadows and 9.72 grams of product - making each shadow about 0.81 grams. You get 5 mattes, 6 satins, and one metallic/glittery shade. When I originally picked up this palette the shade that popped out to me was Kitty Cat - the purple metallic/glittery shade in the bottom row.
Upon using this palette, I discovered a couple of things.
1st: The metallic shade Kitty Cat applies very buttery with a bit of setting spray applied to the brush.
2nd: The matte shades were very powdery. Overcast and Button in particular kicked up a lot of powder. The amount of powder is equal if not more than the Anastasia Beverly Hills Subculture Palette. The only difference was that I found the Lorac shadows in this palette to still blend very easily. They didn't cling to spots on the eyes.
My thoughts on the palette overall are that it would make a nice travel palette. It is very thin and compact and has a nice arrangement of shades to work with. That being said, the mattes do kick up powder so take note of that. Also, you will not see the full potential of Kitty Cat without a setting spray. It will have a bit of fallout if you don't use setting spray! I would rate this palette a 7/10 because of the kickup from the mattes and the fallout from the metallic shade.
