Okay so I know, this blog is supposed to stay away from high end products and only talk about products completely affordable for broke college girls like me. But you all know sometimes school, homework, and jobs can really start to take a toll on you. Sometimes, you really just feel you deserve to do something nice for yourself. Reward yourself for all the hard work you have been putting yourself through. Well, here at RIT we are now moving into week eight which means it is all starting to wind down. Last week really took a toll on me with homework that was due, two jobs, and registering for classes for the fall ( but I won't get into it it's a long story.)
Anyway one of my co-workers and friend who is an amazing beauty blogger was raving about this palette she just discovered from Ulta called the Lorac "Glow Getter" palette. She also featured a makeup tutorial on her YouTube channel using this palette.
Once she showed all the gorgeous colors in it and I saw how easily she created a gorgeous eye look, I needed to have it in my life. However it was a high-end product, which usually means a high price tag. Well ladies, listen up. This palette filled with eight (makeup artist quality) eyeshadows is only $20 at Ulta. Now, this may seem like a pretty penny to spend on eyeshadow but let me break down the math for you.
One Maybelline quad (four shadow palette) from ulta is $9.99, meaning if you bought two (to get eight eyeshadows) you would still be spending about $20. Maybelline eyeshadows are definitely good quality as well, but they are not at the same level as these Lorac shadows are. They are so smooth, blend-able, and extremely pigmented. It is extremely rare that you ever find a high-end eyeshadow palette with eight eyeshadows for only $20, it really is such a steal. I would way rather spend the full $20 on a Lorac limited edition Ulta exclusive palette then two Maybelline palettes I can get at anytime. Expecially when I feel I need to spoil myself just this one time (to motivate me of course.)
The best part about this Lorac palette is that it is extremely versatile for the upcoming Spring and Summer months with all the gorgeous color selections provided! It even comes with neutral shades as well to balance out day and night appropriate looks.
I know I may have splurged a little this sunday afternoon, but I feel it was completely worth it. Also, if you would like to spoil yourself too and grab this high-end palette for only $20 I would do it fast, because it is an Ulta exclusive and I am not sure how long they will be offering it for.
