Lorac Cosmetics SummerGLO palette review, swatches, photos


 Hello, I have an exciting review to share today. The SummerGLO palette! My reason for the excitement is because currently on Taylorpiebeauty there is a giveaway featuring the Lorac SummerGLO palette. The giveaway does end this Saturday (4-26), so be sure to enter while you still can. Click here to go the giveaway.

 The SummerGLO palette sells for $24. You can buy it at kohls or loraccosmetics.com. It comes with 10 shades, a mix between matte and shimmer finishes. 2 of the 10 shades are over-sized neutral shadows. I love how they provided the neutral shades because they always seem to run out faster. Now I don't have to worry about that with this fabulous palette.


Description
Turn up the heat with LORAC’s summerGLO Eye Shadow Palette. This sleek and sexy palette contains 8 vibrant matte and shimmer shadows plus 2 over-sized neutral shadows, perfect for creating sizzling summer looks. Whether you’re headed to a pool party or a hot night on the town, LORAC’s summerGLO Eye Shadow Palette will give you endless color combinations to complement your summertime, sun-kissed glow!

Product Details

  • Set includes: (4) matte eyeshadows, (2) neutral eyeshadows & (4) shimmer eyeshadows (0.6-oz. total weight)
  The packaging is very slim and sturdy. It's a light brown plastic case with a high quality mirror. The mirror is firmly hinged to the palette. You can rotate the mirror at any degree and it will stay put without frustration. It's so easy to get ready since the mirror doesn't have to be held. I always hate it when I have to hold the mirror with my fingers. They get crampy and I tend to use palettes with better packaging. So I can see myself reaching for it over my other beloved palettes. Which is huge deal considering I'm very picky when it comes to my eyeshadows.
 The first white eyeshadow is very buttery and blends in like a dream. It's great for highlighting or you can use it under your other shadows.

The brown shadow has a matte finish. It's very soft and I love using it in my crease.

The coral shadow has a matte finish. This color is perfect for all over the lid or under the eye. It's also very buttery and it's easy to create a strong intensity.

The purple shadow has a shimmery finish. I was kind of disappointed with this shade. It's not as pigmented and it takes a lot of work to build any color. However, the shadow is really stunning once you intensify the color. However, keep in mind you can apply these wet. So you can intensify the pigmentation if you want to.

The blue eyeshadow has a shimmery finish. I personally love this eyeshadow. It's soft, buttery and blends effortlessly. 

The neutral shade in the right side of the palette is definitely great for blending. Just like the white neural shadow, it's buttery and blends in prefectly. 

The gold shade has a shimmery finish. It's super soft and extremely pigmented. 

The bronze shadow has a shimmery finish. This shade is ok. It looks pretty once you have the right amount of color but it can be tricky to work with. I had to use a heavy hand when I swatched it. I also noticed it has silver glitter after you blend onto the skin. Which is ok. I think it's really pretty and I will continue to use it. However, keep in mind you can apply these wet. So you can intensify the pigmentation if you want to.

The teal shadow has a shimmery finish. This color is spectacular! The pigmentation is superb. It just blows me away everytime I swatch it. 

The deep brown has a matte finish. This shade looks and feels exactly like sable from the Lorac Pro palette. So of course it has great qualities like softness, great pigmentation and long lasting powers. It's just the perfect shade from enhancing your eyes.
 

Overall, I am very pleased with this palette. Its high quality at a fantastic price. I love it so much and I'm thinking about purchasing the AfterGLO palette. Lorac is definitely one of my favorite brands for eyeshadows. I'm hardly ever let down when I purchase something from them. Most of the eyeshadows from this palette are wonderfully pigmented, they have no fallout, last all day without creasing and blend in like butter on toast. I highly recommend this palette to anyone who is seeking a perfect palette this summer. It's one of those you don't want to miss. 

I did notice that the description said the palette has 4 matte and 4 shimmery shades but one of the matte shades actually has a shimmery finish. I just wanted to point that out for future buyers. 

Don't forget you can enter my giveaway to win it!
