LORAC Pro Palette 2 : Review

After raving all about the original LORAC Pro Palette here, I am equally excited to now share with you the low down on the Pro Palette 2. Both of these were bought in the same guilty purchase of mine from Nordstrom as I convinced myself that, if I was paying the extortionate prices for shipping to the UK, I might as well make the most of it and add more than one to my basket. I have trialled and tested this palette and I am happy to report that it is as equally impressive as the original.

Once again, this palette is incredibly slim and in a gorgeous sleek packaging. The outer casing is a smooth, matte grey and feels surprisingly lightweight. Like the original Pro, this is another perfect choice for travelling as a large mirror is also concealed inside and a handy mini Behind The Scenes Eye Primer accompanies this palette.

The standard of eyeshadows do not disappoint and all the usual positive adjectives once again apply; creamy, blendable and pigmented. These shadows are an amazing quality and leave a gorgeous wash of colour over your lid. There is an equal balance of matte and shimmer shades with each owning their own row of eight perfectly sized squares. 

In distinguishing this palette from its grownup sister, I would suggest that the Pro 2 is the choice for anyone who is looking for a palette that provides the option of creating slightly more unique, colourful eye looks. 

As well as stunning neutral shades, there is also the option of a matte dark purple (Plum), royal blue (Navy) and a khaki toned shimmer (Jade). These shades provide the possibility of creating more dramatic looks rather than being confined to your basic neutral and cooler tones. Although these are still a plenty in the Pro 2 and this palette will equally fit the bill when you are wanting a simple sweep of colour for a natural, fuss-free day look. 

One shade that particularly stands out is Rose; a gorgeous rose-gold shimmer that creates an opaque, pink-toned golden shine after only a quick, initial swatch. This is without a doubt my favourite of the whole palette and I can not wait to create endless looks centred on this one shade.

I hope that you all enjoyed this mini review and I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments bellow. If you would like to hear all about the original Pro Palette then you can read my first review here.
