Review: Lorac Unzipped

 Hello everyone! Happy Saturday! Today I have a review on Lorac Unzipped palette. This palette doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in the makeup community, so I thought I would try to give a detailed post with some honest opinions. I tend to reach for this palette a lot, so it definitely warrants a review.

 Packaging: As you can tell the palette is pretty sleek and features 10 neutral shadows that are either shimmery or matte. Four of the eyeshadows are matte and the remaining six are shimmery. The palette is small and would be easy to travel with. Lorac Unzipped features a good sized mirror that is very clear. 


 The above photo was taken in natural lighting with flash. As you can tell, the shimmery shadows have a gorgeous sheen that really catches in the flash. All of the shadows were swatches on bare skin without primer.

Review: 

Pigmentation 10/10
The eyeshadows in Lorac Unzipped are incredibly pigmented. It only takes a little bit of the shadow to get the desired opacity I need/want. I find that Lorac shadows are just as pigmented as Urban Decay. 

Blendability 10/10
Lorac Unzipped's eyeshadows go on very easily and blend very easily. I was extremely impressed by how little effort it required to blend out any of these shades, including the mattes. I find that these shadows are good for a day where I don't want to sit there and blend forever. 

Texture 9/10
Lorac Unzipped's eyeshadows are very soft and feel very smooth on the lids. They do not show up patchy at all. Compared to Lorac Pro Palette, these shadows are not as soft, but as a result they do not crumble as easily either. 

Fallout 9/10
There is minimal shadow with this palette. If you go too quickly and pick up too much, you may notice a little bit of fallout, but not nearly as bad as UD shadows. I never have to clean up under my eyes when I use this palette. The lack of fallout makes this palette ideal for daily use when you don't want to spend too much time on  your makeup.

Packaging 9/10
There's nothing wrong with the packaging of this palette at all. It has a sleek design that is easy to take with you. It does not receive a perfect rating because the packaging is somewhat boring to look at. There's nothing wrong with the packaging of Lorac Unzipped, but there is not really anything special about it either.

Overall 9.4/10
I absolutely love this palette. The shadows are gorgeous with minimal fallout. I find myself reaching for this palette way more than any of my other neutral palettes. The shadows blend easily and have a variety of mattes and shimmers.

I would repurchase this palette.
