LORAC Red Hot Full Face Collection

I've heard a lot about LORAC, but I had never tried it until recently. Mostly because it seemed so very expensive and out of my price range. However, as I was watching HSN one night I saw that they were having a 24hr beauty sale and LORAC was just one of the brands they were selling. So, I found a good sized kit and ordered.

The kit contains 4 full size Silky Smooth Eye Shadows in shades Cream, Gold, Taupe and Black, Pro Mascara, blush in Crimson, Lips with Benefits Gloss in Nicholas and 3D Liquid Lustre.

Here's what I liked-

(Eye shadows top-Gold, Taupe, Black and Cream.)

(Colors don't show that well on me!)

I really liked the look, wear and durability of the shadows. While they may not have been the most exciting shades, they work really well at creating some pretty looks. In the photo above I used the gold as a base, then applied taupe over it and into the crease to kind of soften it up. I also added the cream onto my brow bone and used the black as a liner.

This lip gloss tastes divine! I know, I know most lip products are kind of toxic and you shouldn't be eating them, licking them or ingesting them.........but this lip gloss tastes just like caramel. So, good so creamy! (Yeah, I liked the product right off!) But, the color was great too. Not too bright, or crazy, just a really nice rosy color that works lovely on the lips.

(Blush in Crimson on the left, lip gloss in Nicholas on the right.)

The Pro Mascara was great too. Not clumpy and gave me just the right amount of volume that I felt comfortable using it daily. It kind of reminded me of an old MAC mascara I used a long time ago.


What was so-so-

The blush was okay. I can't say it's the best I've ever used, but I'm not a big connoisseur of them either. I think that most of kind of standard anyhow. This one didn't blow me away, but it looked nice. Nothing I'd go out of my way to purchase on its own.


What I hated-

The 3D Liquid Lustre was not my cup of tea. Basically it's just glitter in a bottle. I hated it. I applied a swatch to my hand and was relieved that I didn't mix it with my foundation as someone had suggested doing. It might be cute for a teenager to use, but not a thirty something year old woman!

Overall I think LORAC makes some great quality eye shadows. They are highly pigmented and have the ability to be used wet or dry to give a more dramatic look. If you buy anything, I'd recommend you go for the eye shadows. I've heard nothing but great reviews on the other shades too. I don't think you can go wrong with them. For the price of this entire kit $32, I think it's a pretty good value. Especially since you get the mascara, blush and yummy lip gloss too, (the 3D stuff is a dud in my opinion).

Hope you found this helpful!
