Lorac Unzipped Gold Swatches

Yesterday I was Kohl's after work to return something and browse around. To my surprise, I found the Lorac Unzipped Gold palette on a display with other Lorac things (they also has a few things from the Balm and I think PUR Minerals.) Anyway, whenever I saw this little beauty, I knew she had to come home with me. The Lorac Unzipped Gold sales for $42.00!
This post is by no means a review, as I just bought this little gem yesterday, but I wanted to put up a few swatches since there aren't many of this palette online. I have the original Lorac Unzipped palette, which is the most amazing palette EVER-- in my opinion! I plan on doing a comparison video, but that will come later. 
Enjoy! :)



 Top Row (Undressed--you might not be able to see it. It's the same shade as my skintone, Uninhibited, Unpredictable, Undeniable, and Unedited)
Bottom Row (Unlocked, Unlimited, Unleashed, Unwind, Unafraid)

Even though this post isn't meant to be a review,
as mentioned above, I do have some first impressions. 
*Unleashed and Unafraid are stunning!
*Undressed is my perfect brow bone shade!
*Even though the two matte mid-tone browns are nice, I don't 
understand the point with having two in the same palette.
*The Lorac Unzipped Gold has a bit more fall out than the 
original Lorac Unzipped--- make sure to tap your brush off.
*There are 4 mattes and 6 shimmers: Matte (Undressed, 
Undeniable, Unwind, and Unedited) and Shimmer (Unlocked, 
Uninhibited, Unlimited, Unpredictable, Unleashed, and Unafraid)

FOTD: Rediscovered Products

I was totally inspired to use some old pink finds when I saw Emily Noel's Gloss Daily post on great summer eyeshadows. None of the shadows I've used are ones she mentioned, but it was nice to shop my stack for some great spring shades. Some of the things I've used are discontinued, but hopefully this will inspire you to shop your stash and rediscover some amazing products. 

Face
Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream (in Light/Medium), Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation (in 805 Ivory), Hard Candy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer (in Light), Wet-n-Wild Blush (in 833E Mellow Wine), and Revlon Mineral Finishing Powder (in Brighten).
L to R: Revlon Mineral Finishing Powder and Wet-n-Wild Blush in Mellow Mauve.
 
Eyes
Loreal Single Eyeshadow (in 805 Morning Light), Clinique Color Surge Eye Shadow Duo (in 104 Strawberry Fudge), Revlon Colorstay Quad (in 06 In the Buff), Wet-n-Wild Mega Liner (in 868 Dark Brown), Loreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara, and Maybelline Brow Pencil (in Blonde)
Lips
Loreal Color Juice Sheer Juicy Lipgloss (in 500 Watermelon Crush)
 About the Look
 Because I used pinks on the eyes, lips and as a highlight, I wanted to keep the skin flawless and natural. I typically don't use Wet-n-Wild blush in Mellow Wine in the Spring/Summer because I love my bright pinks during those months, but because this was already a pretty pink look, I decided to warm up the skin using a deeper mauve color. I know the blush color isn't showing up well in the picture, but it sure packs a punch in real life. For eyes, I used Morning Light on the inner part of my lid and then sweeped the pink shade in the Strawberry Fudge duo over the rest of my lid and blended a little of the pink into the golden champagne shade I laid down first. I used the top shade in the In the Buff quad as a highlight and then used the third shade in the quad to blend the colors and add a little contour to my crease. I didn't smudge any shade under my eye because I liked the easiness of leaving it bare. I then used a dark brown eye liner to add definition, but still keep the look soft. Lastly, I added two coats of mascara.
