Lorac makes what just may be my all time favorite eye shadow formula. Their pro palettes are absolutely to die for. Also, I wear their contour palette on a daily basis. Check out their new releases for Spring of 2017. Most are already out in stores now! I'm in love.

I Love Brunch PRO Palette |
The pretty pastel brunch themed palette is available at Ulta for $44. Best part is, all the shades have cute brunch themed names, and it also comes with a brush! And a sample size of Lorac's eyeshadow primer. For all that and 16 shadows I saw it's a hell of a deal.
Shades:
- Lavender (matte lavender)
- Jelly Donut (matte pale pink)
- Bloody Mary (shimmer coral)
- Mimosa (matte pastel peach)
- Eggs Benny (shimmer sage)
- Pancakes (shimmer cream)
- Blueberry Scones (matte sky blue)
- Smoothie (shimmer lilac)
- Gluten Free (shimmer white)
- Sorbet (matte dusty mauve)
- Moonlight (shimmer pastel gold)
- French Toast (shimmer grey bronze)
- Hot Sauce (matte salmon)
- Valet (matte light grey)
- Avocado Toast (matte seafoam)
- Sunday Funday (shimmer peach rose)
I really really love how there is no other high end eye shadow palette with colors like these out now. It does have several brown/orange/peachy shades, which we are used to seeing. However, it's so nice to have some unique cool shades mixed in like the purples and blue. Aside from a dark smokey look, there are tons of looks that can be created with this palette. Just a note if you do pick this up, the colors are clearly soft pastels, but they can be intensified by using them wet.

Limelight |
Also included in the I Love Brunch collection is Light Source Illuminating Highlighter in the shade Limelight. It is the only highlight in the collection, but there are also two blushes available. They are called Buildable Blushes and offer a sheer flush of color. In other words, not meant to be pigmented, but can be if you apply multiple layers. Both the highlighter and the two blushes are $23.

The final additions to the collection are lip products.
There are four shades of Alter Ego Lipstick ($18) and four shades of Alter Ego Lip gloss($17). The four shades are the same in both products: Barista, Foodie, Pastry Chef, and Brunch Queen. Lorac makes great lip glosses in my opinion, but I don't think the colors here are super special, at least the first two shades (Barista and Foodie). Lorac already has similar shades to them in their Alter Ego Lip gloss range. I'm really loving the shade Brunch Queen though. Like I said, the four Lipsticks come in exactly the same colors.

There you have it. That's everything from Lorac's new I Love Brunch collection. I really do think the palette is gorgeous and may be picking it up soon. Quality matte pastels are pretty hard to find. Anything here you guys can't live without out?
