LORAC: Little Black Palette vs TANtelEYEs Palette

The little black dress is supposed to be the solution to every fashion dilemma by making us look tantalizing. Wouldn't it be great if we had eye shadow palettes that solved the same beauty dilemmas? Well, LORAC thought so too.

I had only seen pictures of these two palettes online, and to my eye they appeared quite similar. My local Sephora does not carry LORAC so it took a trip to Seattle a few months ago to finally see these two beauties up close and personal. They are very different from each other, but equally beautiful.

TANtelEYES Palette

Little Black Palette

I bought the Little Black Palette and my sister bought the TANtelEYES palette since there was no point in both of us buying two palettes when we could just share (after all, what is 3 steps across the hall?). For me it was simply a matter of colour preference and what suited my skin tone the best for daily wear. 

PROS
-the pigmentation on these shadows is crazy! Almost as good as Inglot
-high metallic shine
-no fall-out during application
-easy to blend and layer
-silky texture
-each shadow is huge (two times the amount of a standard shadow)

CONS
-no matte or satin shades so if you are using just this palette, you have to like shimmer all over your eye
-medium wear time but last all day when I use a primer
