New Ulta-Exclusive LORAC Platinum Status Eyeshadow Palette (with swatches!)

There's another one! If you caught my last post about the new Ulta-exclusive Solid Gold Palette that retails for just $12, then you might be happy to know that there's a cooler-toned version for $12 too! Huge thanks to reader Kratrina of All The Beautiful Colors for the heads-up about this one (and thanks to several of you for the comments on my last post about this as well!):

Kratrina shared a pic of this palette (which she bought in-store) and kindly photographed it next to the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette, for size comparison:

As you can see, the pans are a little bit bigger in the LORAC palette. The Urban Decay Naked Basics palette weighs 0.30 oz and retails for $27, while the LORAC palette weighs 0.33 oz and, of course, retails for $12.

Kratrina also swatched this palette and shared a pic:

Kratrina's swatches of the LORAC Platinum Status Palette
NO PRIMER

Kratina didn't use primer for these swatches and said that they're powdery and have some fallout, BUT that they apply well on the eye, and last all day with primer without any problems. I'd say that's great for $12 and as you can see, the pigmentation is quite nice even without primer.

Have you spotted/purchased the Platinum Status or Solid Gold palettes at Ulta yet? I'd love to hear what you think!

Thanks again, Kratrina, for the great info and pics. I really appreciate it!
