Today I have a gorgeously cool and retro-inspired makeup palette for you. The LORAC Mint Edition Collection Eye & Cheek Palette comes in the most beautiful, dazzling silver chain wristlet. The palette also comes with a limited edition lip gloss that puts down bright pink color. The wristlet alone is absolutely beautiful and something that I would actually carry around with me as a clutch. I’ve got full swatches and a review inside,

The wristlet this palette is housed in is a metallic silver mesh pattern on the outside with a mint green lining and strap. The shades together are absolutely lovely and I will definitely use this as a clutch. It’s nice when you can reuse the packaging over and over again! One thing to note is that this is the Ulta edition. I also saw this palette in a set at Sephora and it is slightly different and doesn’t come with the wristlet.
The Mint Edition Palette comes with six eyeshadow shades and one cheek color. It also comes with a limited edition lip gloss shade made specifically for this set.
There are three matte shades and three shimmer shades.
The top three matte shades applied beautifully. I love these because they’re so versatile. The white matte is perfect for the brow-bone and blending out crease shades. The light brown shade is perfect for the crease and socket area and adding definition to other colors. The mint-aqua shade is bright and pastel but the matte finish keeps it sophisticated.
The shimmer shades in this palette are pigmented and smooth. They’re all fairly neutral and can be used to create a smoky look.
The blush shade is a coral-pink shimmer and it looks stunning against a tan. It was quite pigmented and only needed a small swipe to put down great color.
Christian, the lip gloss that comes with this palette is a bright hot pink. I LOVE this shade so much. I wasn’t expecting it to be as pigmented and bright as it was, so I was very pleased. What’s cool about these LORAC “Lips With Benefits” Lip Glosses too is that they are a swirled mixture of color, so every application may look slightly different.
Overall, this entire kit is perfect for the summertime. The hot pink lip gloss and the neutral makeup shades with a pop of mint are all very summer inspired. Every product in this set performed well and the gorgeous wristlet is an added bonus, especially if you tend to use clutches for going out at night.
The LORAC Mint Edition Collection Eye & Cheek Palette is limited edition for Summer 2013 and is available at Ulta stores nationwide and online at Ulta’s website. Each set retails for $36.00 USD. This specific edition, with the wristlet, is an Ulta-exclusive. There is also a set that is similar to this one sold at Sephora, but the palette is slightly different and instead of a wristlet it comes with other deluxe-size LORAC products.
Stay tuned for a makeup look using this palette in my next post!
