Hey guys! I've finally found some time to review some of my eye shadow palettes. For this week, I have Lorac Skinny Palette in Navy. This was part of my beauty.com haul last month.

I haven't had the chance to try out any product from Lorac's line but have heard great reviews - their PRO Palette has been raved about by beauty enthusiasts everywhere. I couldn't afford to buy the PRO yet and I still have a few more eye shadows that needs some love, so I decided to buy a smaller more cost-friendly palette from them to test the waters.
The Skinny eye shadow palettes are limited edition - one in Nude and the other in Navy. I got the the Navy because I wanted that Dark Navy shadow badly.

Experiment all you want, give your eyes the perfect nude daytime look or perhaps a sexy smoldering night look, whatever you choose, the conclusion will always and forever be truly stunning!
- A $133 value
- Highly pigmented and velvety smooth formula.
- Includes matte and shimmer colors.
- Packaged in a mirror compact for you to use on the go.
- Palettes include 7 shades of both matte and shimmer shadows.

I don't think this is worth $133 but you definitely get your money's worth with this palette. You get a lot of product for only $15. Packaging and sturdy and very travel-friendly. I also like that you get a large mirror.

Navy #1 is a light beige champagne with pearly shimmers and warm undertones

Navy #4 is a golden, olive-brown with frosty shimmers
- Good pigmentation and color payoff, with a soft texture and good blendability

Overall: Lorac Skinny Palette in Navy delivers good color payoff across the board, with some more pigmented than others. All shades have average longevity, lasting up to seven hours of wear. While I love the colors, I found this palette to be rather powdery and dry. It was difficult to work with and applying the colors on my lids was a challenge. It wasn't as blendable as I wished it to be and most of time, application was a mess. This is pretty to look at but I don't find myself reaching out for this more than the more buttery and blendable Stila In the Light.
