Review: Lorac Mega Pro

IT'S HERE!!!!
I was super excited to here that Lorac was coming out with this beautiful palette and I was one of the lucky ones to order the palette before the scheduled launch date. This palette is a limited edition palette from their Royalty collection that was launched on October 1st and the palette wasn't released until October 7th. This palette is available only on Lorac's website and Amazon (By the way they're still available on those sites!!!!). Down below, I wanted to show you all the size compared to the Lorac Pro 2 palette. The Mega Pro equals the size of the Pro 1 and 2 palette together (same thickness and width). If you put the Pro 1 and 2 laying next to each other, they equal the Mega Pro.

 So let's get onto the GORGEOUS shades! There are 32 eyeshadows ranging from warm to cool tones. The top two rows are all matte and the bottom two rows are shimmer. There are 28 new shades and four shades that are from the Pro 1 and 2. As for the texture, it's the same as Pro 1 and 2 palette (great pigmentation, but a little bit of fall out for the shimmer shades). Down below, I'll list all the eyeshadows and a brief description of each shade.
 The first row (left to right)
Cream - soft white (in Pro 1)
Fawn - warm beige
Camel - orange brown
Sepia - dark, peach brown 
Dusty Plum - muted plum
Orchid - pink with a hint of lavender
Mulberry - reddish pink
Espresso - dark brown (in Pro 1)
 Second row (left to right)
White - just as it's named (in Pro 1)
Khaki - taupe with a hint of shimmer
Brown - light brown
Stone - purple gray
Lilac - almost like lavender, but softer
Wisteria - medium/dark muted purple
Gray - bluish gray
Black - just as it's named (in both Pro 1 and 2)
 Third row (left to right)
Opal - shimmery white
Sand - shimmery, light gold/beige
Copper - straight metallic copper
Sienna - shimmery, medium brown
Apricot - shimmery orange/peach
Blush - shimmery pink with hint of white
Merlot - red wine with pink shimmer
Indigo - black with blue and gray shimmer (reminds me of a galaxy!)
Fourth row (left to right)
Vanilla - shimmery white with warm tones
Cashmere - soft, metallic light beige (MY FAVORITE SHADE!)
Smokey Topaz - golden brown with gold shimmer
Dusty Rose - shimmery pinky brown
Granite - deep brown with a hint of golden brown shimmer
Maroon - shimmery pink red
Deep Teal - deep teal with a lighter shade of teal shimmer (the picture doesn't do it much justice)
Caviar - black with a hint of green shimmer

Overall: I think this would be an awesome palette for someone starting out with makeup. You have a good mixture of warm and cool tones and you have a good balance of shimmer and matte shades. This palette costs $59 on both websites mentioned above. I do highly recommend this palette to anyone that are makeup lovers and make novices. If you would like to purchase this palette, I will leave direct links down below to Lorac and Amazon.
