For Black Friday, there are two, Ulta-exclusive LORAC Eyeshadow Palettes ($18.00 each) that will be available. These just arrived yesterday, so I was able to get them photographed and swatched, and I’ll do my best to get them tested and reviewed ASAP! 🙂

Medium, Olive, neutral undertones. Combination skin.

Black Tie Affair seems a bit too light for me, and Tails & Top Hats seems iffy? I’ll wait to read your thoughts on them before jumping in.

Fran

Light Plus, Pink undertones. Combination skin.

I like and use a lot of light eyeshadows, but Attire looks like it might have too many light shades to be a useful stand-alone palette. Otherwise these seem pretty, although it looks like some of the mattes aren’t swatching very well.

Lulle

Light Plus, Yellow, slight yellow undertones. Combination skin.

I got the Black Friday Lorac Amazon exclusive palette last year, I think it was called Pink Champagne, and I was not impressed… So that’s a pass for me, no more mini Lorac palettes. They do look better than Pink Champagne though, especially the seconde, cool-toned one.

Mariella

Very Light, Pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin.

Black Tie Attire looks really dull and boring – the packaging and the products. Coming from a dyed in the wool neutrals lover like me, that is really faint praise. I much prefer the other one – Tails and Top Hats – but all the shadows look so much like so many that I already own.

Fionn

Light Medium, Yellow undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin.

Tails and Top Hats #6 seems to be missing its swatch picture!

That aside, I enjoy seeing your eye looks Christine 🙂 The colour combos on an EOTD definitely makes it easier to decide whether to get an eye palette or not!

Christine

Light Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin.

It should be fixed!

Oh interesting, as the Ulta flyer/ad showed Tails & Top Coats as an olive green palette, must be a misprint! Glad I saw these swatches

Jess

I notice that too! I wish is was olive, soI’m so glad I saw this.

Shannon. N

Light Plus, Yellow, strong yellow undertones. Dry skin.

Tails and Top hats looks like a very ME pallet!!! It’s so beautiful!!! oh my gosh!!!

Genevieve

Lightest, Pink undertones. Dry skin.

Hmmm – nope. Far, far too many dupable shades.

Debbie

Light Plus, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin.

My thoughts exactly, but I will probably not be able to resist. Las year I got the Romantic Rieslings palette and as basic as the shades are I love it.

Debbie

I meant Riesling Romance.

Kiss & Make-up

Light Medium, Yellow undertones. Very Oily skin.

This looks very promising!

Allison

Very Light, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Normal skin.

Are these a different formula than their pro palettes?

Christine

Light Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin.

You’d have to look at the ingredient list – I don’t remember the order of either offhand!

Erin

Lightest, Neutral undertones. Combination skin.

Hmmm, they seem nice for the price.
