NEW LORAC PRO PALETTES REVIEW & SWATCHES // NOIR, SOLEIL & MERAKI

[@Anonymous-sh9vk]

So I can get both the Noir and Soleil for the price of one of the ND palettes, and basically have a combo of both the Bronze and Glam, but for 1/2 price!! Sold!

[@JenPhelps]

YES!! They're priced really well! :)

[@larissamartinez6880]

That's what I'm thinking too!

[@cinnabun715]

That's a great observation! Thanks for sharing it. I think you gave me a plan!

[@catz511]

I like how you think!!!

[@Greenmonster1977]

Smart!

[@anonymous-dc3bt]

I just want to thank you for all your hard work. You deserve a million subs! People I watch with hundreds of thousands/millions would never go into this level of detail. Most just show the palette and say a few things they like/dislike and I feel like I'm always left with questions!

[@myshittyreviews]

Personally I love Lorac palettes. I think they get overlooked because they’re usually basic and don’t have a lot of bright colors.🤷‍♀️

[@JenPhelps]

I agree with you! Even though their formulas are always really nice!

[@9023rsd]

I don’t own any Lorac palettes. I’m super excited for the Meraki palette. I’m excited to try this formula. Then I’m done for the year. I have plenty of palettes. Thank you for this video. I appreciate you and your hard work . ❤️

[@jill_the_organized_hoarder]

This is crazy that u r only showing 70k subscribers!!!! Love ur channel and couldn’t wait to get ur opinion on these new palettes!

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you Jill! 🥰🥰🥰

[@jessb6555]

OMG, so excited to watch this!!! And yes, the dark hair is fabulous.

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much Jess!

[@eleanorsandborne1469]

I always love seeing your window behind you. It looks so calm and peaceful in your yard. This video was really helpful!

[@everxu2900]

I was waiting for the review of these pallettes, you are the first person in youtube to do this as far as I know, because I tried to search it past days, but no reviews. I knew you were going to do this, thank you for much!

[@tpemby74]

I just wanted to tell you that of all the beauty you tubers I see how much time you put into these dupes all the time. You have such an eye for the color story’s. Thank you!

[@jillturnbull6042]

I purchased the Noir palette yesterday on the Ulta sale for under $20! My first Lorac and I can't wait!!

[@Omg_sade]

So did I! I’ve been watching reviews all day😭

[@motildamulgrew]

So many swatches and comparisons, Jen-this was great (watched the whole thing)! Thank you for all the work you put into this,

[@najetteroberts5553]

And now I want the Meraki the most. I started out liking the noir the best. Now I like the biggest one. Love the idea of all the different palettes in one. Since I do not own any right now that is awesome 🙂. I am into much smaller palettes now but still loving the big one!!

[@JenPhelps]

I agree with you, that one is my favorite also!!

[@cinnabun715]

I feel like Meraki is pretty similar to Colourpop Bare Necessities. I really want the ND Glam but I may end up getting the Noir instead. Great video, as per usual!

[@natalievelasquez8126]

Just looking at it, the Noir Palette reminds me of the ABH Sultry Palette

[@JenPhelps]

Yes! Minus the coral shade! But the ND Glam palette is a lot like Sultry also!

[@kar4jax432]

That’s what I was going to ask! I have Sultry soooo....do I need Noir too? I think I’m gonna need to go see it in store to really make up my mind. But let’s be honest if I go see it there’s a 99.9% chance I won’t be leaving without it lol

[@jessyup1368]

These are the only releases of late that have caught my eye. Excited to see your vid on them :)

[@lkaur6970]

I always watch your video in the entirety. Thank you for what you do. You are one of my favorites.

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much for that! I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to watch them all the way through! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jacquelineb8778]

Thank you so much for going into detail for us between the old and new formulas!

[@Gigi_K]

Was wondering if someone I trusted would review these and you did! Yay! Thanks for this video 🤗

[@lindacalandra2999]

Your hair is gorgeous! That color becomes you. Great, detailed video, thanks!

[@reinakobe]

Im not a fan of glitter in my eyeshadows I appreciate when you let us know great job

[@houseofschenck6230]

Thank you for telling us which palettes the Meraki shades are from! Thanks for doing comparisons too!

[@kanam85]

I completely agree! They should have made one of them more cool toned! With at least half matte & half shimmer(metallic) shades! I would have been all over that! I really feel like there’s not enough *good* cool toned matte eyeshadow pallets out there..Really great video! 🤍

[@BlingyBea]

Wow everytime I see that color hair, beautiful, love the look today.❤️

[@JenPhelps]

Aw thank you so much! :)

[@breathless_siren]

You're the MVP, thanks for this video. The only one I've seen. I used to have Mega Pro 3 which was soooo good. Meraki for me.

[@JenPhelps]

I think that's my favorite too!

[@watermelongal5512]

Lorac is a brand that no one talks about. Thank you so much for this video Jen! Appreciate your thoughts on them. I have never tried them before but I really want to try them someday. I like it how you can build up with these shadows. I really love all the looks you've created. It's beautiful! 💕

[@aliciacalinoiu1046]

Thanks to the mini swatches of the Soleil palette you did on the other video, I decided to buy the palette from Ulta... those warm classic mattes made me fall in love with Lorac once again.

[@jandelyeich6973]

I love your new hair color, you look beautiful! I have discovered Lorac thanks to you and I love it.

[@bentereekers9808]

I love the topper shades !!

[@Tish_Ann77]

You look phenomenal with darker hair. Love it!

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much! I think I'm finally used to it now! :)

[@almi27]

Agreed!!! It suits your skin tone so well!! 😍

[@christahodges]

Hello Jen! I've been waiting for this video 🙌 😊 Thank you!

[@nicoledidyk2669]

Lorac is so buttery. Just love their shadows. Thanks for the deep dive in!

[@Gemma1558]

Thanks Jenn, since I have the ND glam palette, I will be returning the Noir when I receive it.

[@mallyflower844]

Awesome video. You’re so good at all these comparisons and it’s so useful. I appreciate it so much. After the Noir and Soleil pallette comparison to Natasha Denona pallettes I know now I don’t need them. I love Lorac eye shadow formulas. They’re the only shadow I’ve ever panned. I think I would want the Meraki so I can have something from all the other pallettes. I wish it have some of the blue and burgundy from the other pallettes. Overall it would be great to have. And your hair is gorgeous! Btw. You can use these shadows wet so that’s a bonus.

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much! :) And I agree...Meraki is my favorite!

[@monicawallace329]

1st off, I absolutely love your hair this color!! It is totally your coloring! Thanks for your review. Some of my pro pallets need replaced. So this will help me when it comes to making that decision.

[@rockys2ndmomma]

I picked up the Meraki palette and the shimmers are amazing! I have always the Lorac mattes but not the shimmers until this new palette! Thank you for this review.

[@Brigitte_Cantin]

I can't get over how brilliant and talented you are thank you once again. 💖😍

[@dainapolchow4177]

Thank you for doing this. I love lorac and feel like they don’t get the love they deserve. You went above and beyond with this one!

[@meitalkabeli509]

Thanks so much for swatching and talking about all these palettes. I used to have the original Lorac Pro palettes earlier in my beauty life, and was excited to see these released. The Noir palette is the one I'm most interested in, thanks for pointing out those four topper colors.

[@xoBreezy16]

Thank you!! I have been waiting for reviews on these

[@judyjascomb7742]

Love your new hair color, Jen! Makes your eyes pop...

[@Annie1990]

Thanks for delivering useful and straight to the point, detailed swatches and comparisons.

[@leahmiranda8359]

I know that you thought the original formula was underrated, so your thoughts on the new formula was especially helpful! Thank you!

[@michellecaudill7936]

For you I’ll watch the entire video. And be nice to yourself! You are good at blending. I agree with the toppers. But then again we both have hooded eyes. All those with great lid space seem to enjoy them but for us good eye gals it’s like what’s the point no one gets to see it for very long, only when we blink. 🤔😂. I’m starting to feel as though all brands are for the most part repeating shades. Once they’re on the eyes they all look pretty much the same I only own one Lorac pallet. Mega pro 4. I love the variety. Ide love to get the Natasha demons glam pallet. I’m deciding on that, Scott barns snatcheral or a Charlotte tillbery. I’m thinking I’m too old to invest in a mothership especially since I have hooded eyes. Keep up the great looks. I truly enjoy all your videos

[@JenPhelps]

Aw thank you so much Michelle! And I agree...hooded eyes are such a struggle sometimes! But I read somewhere that they have a more "youthful" appearance so I'll take it! 😂🥰

[@leslieryalls566]

You put a lot of work into this and thank you for that. I've been cruising for reviews on these palettes and yours is the first I've been able to find. Good job!!!!!

[@Lulusvideos1]

Ohmygosh loving your hair Color! Gorgeous!

[@Rosanna-]

Your hair looks stunning, Jen! And as always, love the calming backgroud :)

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you Rosanna! :)

[@dbcakes]

Jen!! Thank you so much for how dang thoroughly you went through all of this!! Before watching I was sooo convinced I wanted the NOIR, but bc you laid it all out and really dug in there for us, I just switched that out of my cart for the MERAKI... I'm so excited!! Been on a neutral kick lately... And then just getting my love of color satisfied by watching BEAUTBEAN, Angie and Annette, lol! Really! Thanks so much! I love coming back to watch all your content! ☺️🥰😁

[@JenPhelps]

YES!! Meraki is my favorite of the three for sure! I'm glad you switched to that one!

[@anniecortes585]

I still have my mega pro 3, my only lorac palette which I still enjoy for every day. Your reviews are so thorough and straight forward...thank you for your dedication😊

[@Anonymous-sh9vk]

😍😍😍 I'm seriously wanting the Soliel And Noir 😍😍😍 - last things I should get - as if I need any more shadows, especially neutral ones. 🙄

[@VeronicaESoto]

😃😃 that make two of us.

[@olfab1]

Thank you for all the efforts you put in this video! I love Lorac but I'm not too interested in these palettes, except the Meraki. Maybe it's just me, but looking at the Noir palette, my first thought was why so many browns, how many do you really need in one palette? They end up all looking the same.

[@sadakonk]

Thanks so much for swatching and talking about all these palettes!!! Now I have Pro 2 and Pro 3 and I love it despite it fade away very quick. After your video I want Soleil because I thought about ND Bronze and I want Noir because shimmers is so good! But I live in Russia... Loraс is not in online stores except Ulta, it dont ship here 😢

[@corinnanana3751]

Great video Jen! Somehow I always forget how great Lorac's formula is. Man they swatched so beautifully! I probably will pick up the noir palette, and use my pro palettes more!

[@Nihada7]

I normally don’t comment on KZbin videos, but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the work you put in to comparing all these palettes. It was definitely helpful and very thorough review. Much appreciated!

[@wakeupordie]

I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video and the in-depth review. Thank you for saving me $$$ as I was only interested in the NOIR pallette and I already have the ND Glam.

[@pinkTonya24]

Those mattes in Noir are gorgeous!!

[@MiaTx5]

Looking forward to your review. Very thorough and well researched. Thank you for doing this video. I love Lorac palettes, will definitely be purchasing all of them. Eyeshadow palettes are my weakness.

[@LuvBytes07]

I really appreciate your in depth review. As a woman of color I'm always reluctant to purchase larger palettes due to there always being shades that wouldn't suit my complexion and therefore are never used. That being said I'm definitely picking up the 'NOIR' palette as there are only two shades I'll never use and LORAC is currently having a 30% off promo so it's a winwin. Thank you so much for the swatches and comparisons.

[@aliciaohara8794]

I tried Lorac shadows years ago but didn't like the formula. I decided to give them a shot again and got the Noir palette because the new formula looks better.

[@kristinf8047]

Those look so good! I’m sold just by the swatches!! 😍😍 and YES, I love the dark hair on you! Gives your face more color.

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰

[@tmeadows4563]

Thank you! This was such a thorough and helpful video. I have a lot of the lorac pro and mega pro palettes. I don't think I need to add these to my collection. I agree, I'm not the biggest fan of topper shades either.

[@Kimbyroseh]

Thank you for the comparisons! Not many people do that, I’m so glad you did!

[@swollfirehouse]

Your makeup is extra beautiful in this one 😍 Thanks for the Lorac deets!

[@JackieGreeneBeauty]

Waiting for this video! Thanks sooooo much Jen! Gorgeous palettes! Love Lorac but Ulta took out of stores. Was able to buy Noir and Soleil at Ulta online and use coupon & points. Whew glad I didn’t get Meraki because I have Pro 1-4! Have ND Glam & Bronze and knew they were similar but still wanted to support

[@philippaolson7854]

Great video, thank you! I love the Lorac formula and I’m looking forward to getting my hands on these soon 🤗 You do the best swatches on KZbin, it’s so helpful!!

[@Sunchild_26]

I love your makeup review videos!!!! They are my fav! Keep up great work you're so informative 👍

[@Gigi_K]

Also congrats on 70k! 😃 🥳

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@sarahmclin2434]

I bought the MERAKI and I really love it. There are a lot of different finishes. I didn't have the previous versions/formulas to compare. The thing I like about this palette is that, though it is pigmented, it isn't TOO pigmented and mixes easily - so it isn't too hard to use when you're in a hurry. Also, I have light neutral skin, and many of these are much more neutral. I can use any of them, in whatever combinations, and feel that I will get a good look without having to think too hard. Other palettes, like my Pat McGrath holiday palette, you definitely cannot use them in any combination and have that same confidence.

[@JHTjersey]

Thanks Jen for doing all the leg work I had my palettes out trying to figure out if any shades are repeats from there existing palettes!!! I got my palettes had your video and was able to have all my questions answered ASAP I really appreciate all your hard work you put into this video thanks again !!!!

[@JenPhelps]

Hi Jennifer! I'm so glad it was helpful and answered all of your questions! ❤️

[@ChristyHealey]

Your palette reviews are honestly the very best!! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in💕💕

[@beckymyers9528]

Thank you, Jen. I have been waiting for someone to review these. I've been soooooo curious about them

[@mirandaquinnn]

Thank for all the work you put into this video. I have 6 Lorac palettes and some of them I love and some I do not care for. I wish their Shimmers were more poppy, but I can understand not everybody is looking for that. I can see myself picking one of this palettes as gift for somebody who is new to makeup or does not a huge makeup collection like I do.

[@jennifermaass1623]

[@sfeliciano1984]

The noir one is definitely up my alley. I'll wait for a sale. It is gorgeous 😍

[@Jazzyphizz14]

These palettes are so gorgeous! The metal I had definitely caught my eye

[@reneelopez902]

At first I was all for the Noir pallet. Then fell in love with the second and third. If I buy the Merkari do I need the smaller ones? Noir is still speaking to me. Once again great video

[@angeldsouza777]

Swatch Queen! 👑 Lorac just came to Beauty Bay UK! I'm so late to the game with this brand since it was so hard to get, but having tried the Unzipped palette (found a new one on eBay! 🥳) I do like the formula. These are a little too neutral for me but we'll see what else they come up with. Tfs as always 😘

[@tammymaurer4205]

Thank you so much! This was so helpful! I love Lorac matte eyeshadows but the last one Lux Diamond was so powdery almost to loosely pressed... The metallic are not my favorites but these look better. I am tempted would love to see a look with the Meraki.

[@JenPhelps]

Yes I wasn't a fan of Lux Diamond. These are a totally different formula!

[@CeleryStickz]

I love your swatches Jen! Always so neat. It’s so satisfying ☺️

[@patriciamujica7407]

I’m so excited for this video! Thank you so much for doing an in-depth video on these palettes for us. ❤️

[@jacque7129]

Thank you for the in-depth review and comparisons! I'm so excited for Noir.

[@Carrascok1]

Hi Jen! Thanks for the review; it was very thorough. I have one of the zip and I love the looks but I am not crazy about the formulation. I was hoping the Noir was more cool tone as well because I really wanted to try them. Maybe when I can see them at the Ulta, I can pick one up.

[@carriemeadows3518]

I understand how you feel about the topper shades. I believe Lorac is generally speaking to a slightly more mature customer, so that seems like an odd choice on the part of the brand. Also, it seemed like they could have dumped 1-2 of the shimmers in favor of one more midtone transition/crease shade and a lighter blending or highlight shade in the Noir palette. I'm going to take a step back and sit on this for a bit before I decide it's worthy of my holiday wishlist. 😉

[@JenPhelps]

Yes I think in doing that they are trying to capture the younger crowd!

[@debbieweatherford8975]

Great video, Jen! Congratulations on hitting 70k. 🎉

There isn’t anything I dislike about this product. I like all the colors and textures. They made a perfect combination. No negative remakes from me. As for the packets I also like the silver and hard plastic. I have not had any scratches on my silver cover. I am just grateful this is the perfect pallet for me. 100% satisfied.

Great, informative video! I did order both the Soleil and Noir palettes as I have never tried Lorac shadows...Can't wait for them to arrive!

[@staceyclark5020]

Thank you for reviewing these! I'm with you, I don't like topper shades either. I'd rather have beautiful metallic shimmers. Lorac also has a new highlighter palette out, it looks super pretty.

[@miyamuni]

Thank you for the in depth review. I started liking Lorac palettes after you talked about them in your series on makeup brands that people don't talk about. Are you going to do more videos for that series?

[@JenPhelps]

I definitely should! I love filming those videos!

[@christinaorciari343]

Today I bought the lorac shine bright palette, which was last year’s holiday palette for $15 at Marshall’s! They had the blush palette too for $15.

Great thorough review and comparisons! I got the glam palette but skipped on the bronze so comparing that with Soleil will actually save me some money. This is definitely an overlooked brand. There’s no one reviewing this palette at all. 🤣
