The Lorac Nude Necessities costs $30 at Ulta. The packaging is nice and sleek, but very fingerprint prone.
The palette contains 12 shimmer and matte shadows.
The shadows are all soft, smooth, pigmented, and buildable. My only complaint is that the palette needs some dark/deep shades. There’s not enough contrast within the palette.
La Balmba Vol I.
Swatched with fingers. As you can see Rumba wasn’t pigmented at all. It took me 3-4 swipes to build the color up. But if you use a brush instead, you can get better pigmentation.

La Balmba Vol II.
I didn’t have any problem swatching these.

The lip glosses:
As of right now, I’m on the fence with these lip glosses. I am impressed by how long they can last, but they do feel like paint on the lips. Which I’m not a fan of. I will need to give these a few more try before I can have a solid answer.
The Too Faced Love Flush blush palette ($36)
The packaging is cute and simple, a little on the cheap side, but it’s okay. It comes with 6 blushes. All of them were smooth and pigmented. The only thing is that, I don’t feel like these are unique shades. They are very dupe-able.

Please keep in mind these blushes are tiny!! It’s exactly the same size as the Prestige Total Intensity single shadows (0.07oz or 2.0g).
I also used NYX Prismatic single eyeshadow as reference for those who don’t own any Prestige.
