LORAC Disney Beauty and The Beast Pro Eyeshadow Palette | Review and Swatches

 Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

LORAC Disney Beauty And The Beast Pro Eyeshadow Palette is a limited edition palette that features 16 new and exclusive shades in a combination of matte and shimmer finishes. It comes in a rather large cardboard palette that is meant to look like a book or diary, and it is quite cute, and will definitely appeal to the collector, but I do find it a bit too large to be convenient for travel. It also includes a full-size double-sided synthetic brush for convenience. The color story is inspired by Belle's "steadfast strength and undeniable beauty"– therefore to categorize it in such terms as a "neutral palette" is to miss the point of the purpose of this collaboration, which instead, it is intent on bringing us on a "magical journey of wonder and romance."

The shadows are finely milled and feel smooth in texture. I found that they deposit color evenly and glide across the skin effortlessly, but some of the matte shades are a bit more dry and stiff than the shimmer shades, but they still work beautifully.

According to LORAC,

Inspired by Belle’s steadfast strength and undeniable beauty, we created the LORAC Los Angeles limited-edition eye shadow palette to take you on a magical journey of wonder and romance.

Overall Assessment: I really like this palette, and have been using Dream It, Time Keeper, Our Guest and Impress and Tea Time all of the time! If you are a Disney collector, or would wear a lot these colors, then you will probably be quite happy with this palette. If, however, you would only use a few of the shades, then you might prefer other LORAC palettes instead.

  1. As much as I like Lorac this just doesn't seem to be up to their typical quality. If I were still collecting cosmetics I'd want it but what I'm interested in now is their teasers for their new collections.

    1. I am quite happy with this palette, but I think that some of the mattes are a litter stiffer than their regular palettes. I haven't had a problem using any of them, and my only real complaint is that the palette itself is a bit too bulky for traveling.

    2. There are a few colors I love in this - Enchanting, My Castle and Tea Time are my kind of colors. Lately though I'm wearing more purples too. Maybe I need to go see this in person!

    3. I agree, and I would add Time Keeper to your list! It is definitely worth checking out this palette. The only real problem is the bulkiness of the palette itself– which really isn't convenient for traveling.

  2. I'm not a Disney-phile so it doesn't appeal to me on that note (though I love Cocteau's La Belle et La Bete), but the shades in this coolish-toned palette are very attractive to me. If I still hadn't even opened the Lorac palette I bought a year ago, I'd consider it!

    1. Nor am I, and I don't collect theme based products for their packaging (at all). Cocteau's La Belle et La Bete is definitely one of my favorites off all time– such a magical movie! If you still haven't opened your LORAC palette from last year– then I would say this is probably a pass– unless there are colors in this palette that you would really love to wear (assuming you don't have dupes).

  3. This collection is adorable! Beauty and the Beast was my favorite movie during my childhood!

    1. It is, and if that is your favorite childhood movie you might not want to miss out on this palette!
