LORAC Mega Pro Palette Swatches

LORAC came out with a limited edition palette for the holidays that they're calling the Mega Pro Palette. It is exactly the size of two Pro palettes and holds 2x the number of shadows as a Pro palette. I was lucky enough to sneak my order in on October 1st when they had a glitch on their website, but it was officially released on October 7th. It's exclusive to LORAC and Amazon and both sites have already sold out BUT LORAC posted on Facebook today that Amazon is receiving one more shipment. I hope these swatches help you decide if it's for you!

LORAC Mega Pro Palette

It's $59 and comes with 32 shades--16 shimmer and 16 matte shades. These are shown reversed of how they appear in the palette because I started near my wrist. On to the swatches!

The top row is all matte.

From left to right, they are: Indigo, Merlot, Blush, Apricot, Sienna, Copper, Sand, and Opal.

The last row is all shimmer.

LORAC Mega Pro Palette: Caviar, Deep Teal, Maroon, Granite, Dusty Rose, Smokey Topaz, Cashmere, Vanilla

 From left to right, they are: Caviar, Deep Teal, Maroon, Granite, Dusty Rose, Smokey Topaz, Cashmere, Vanilla.

White, Cream, Espresso, and Black are in the first Pro palette and Black is in the second Pro palette, but I don't mind the repeats because I find those to be staple shades that are useful in many looks.

As far as big palettes go, this one is a good value because you get so many shades for the money. However, it's mostly neutrals and half of it is matte, so it's best for people that like a more conservative look, it would be great for an office, and it would be fairly easy to come up with looks because it blends so nicely together. For those that want bright colors and are more adventurous, maybe take a look at Urban Decay's Vice 3 Palette, or Too Faced's Everything Nice Palette for more variety of colors and finishes.
