12 Days of Catmas: Day Six - Lorac Unzipped Gold

Hello Friends and welcome to Day SIX of the 12 Days of Catmas!  Just yesterday I begged my parents to take me to Ulta so I could get my hands on the new Tarte Tartelette 2 In Bloom palette but of course it was sold out, so of course I had to find something new because I was far too eager.  The Lorac Unzipped palette is one of my absolute favorite palettes and when I heard that Lorac came out with a new version of it, I had to have it.  So when I couldn't find the Tarte palette, I fast walked to the Lorac section and lo and behold, the Lorac Unzipped GOLD palette was sitting beautifully upon the shelf.  I bought it so now I'm here to do an overview and my first impression of the palette!

So here is the palette...

The packaging and the palette itself looks pretty much just like the original Lorac Unzipped palette. The only differences is that the palette has more of a satin finish and has the word "GOLD" embossed on it.  The zipper part is also slightly larger than the original.  It's boxed basically exactly the same as the original palette and it comes with a mini of the Lorac Behind the Scenes eyeshadow primer. That's basically the packaging.  I still love how the palette is really slim and durable.  It has an okay sized mirror too.  It was $42 which for an unemployed college student is a little on the pricey end of the spectrum, it's definitely worth it.  

The Colors: 

The palette comes with 10 large shadows and every single shadow is GORGEOUS.  From top left to bottom right: Undressed, Uninhibited, Unpredictable, Undeniable, Unedited, Unlocked, Unlimited, Unleashed, Unwind, and Unafraid.  

Undressed: Matte

Uninhibited: Shimmer

Unpredictable: Shimmer

Undeniable: Matte

Unedited: Matte

Unlocked: Shimmer

Unlimited: Shimmer

Unleashed: Shimmer

Unwind: Matte

Unafraid: Matte

Swatching them was so nice because the shadows are super soft an buttery.  Here are all the colors swatched on my arm WITHOUT primer.  The mattes were a little harder to swatch, like a lot of matte shadows are but they were still so pretty.  

All ten colors are different from those in the original Unzipped palette.  Like I said before, they were super easy to swatch because they were so soft and buttery.  I was going to share up close photos of each of the colors but my photos turned out bad so... :/ sorry.

I love all of the colors but I specifically looooove Uninhibited because I love shimmery champagne colors, as well as Unleashed because IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.  The photos don't do it justice.  I definitely see myself using this palette often.  I haven't done a look with it yet but I'm really excited to see what I can do.  I can already tell that the palette is super versatile and will be able to create tons of different looks!  

I hope you guys enjoyed this little overview/first impression of the Lorac Unzipped GOLD palette. Sorry it's not super extensive, but I hope to be able to share more about it once I really get to use it for different looks.  

Thanks for reading!  See you tomorrow!

Love, Cat <3
