I'm so freaking excited about today's haul. Let's have a look what I got in today's mail:
 |
| LORAC PRO PALETTE theBalm Mary-Lou-Manizer |
Both these goodies came nicely packed in bubble wrap. theBalm Mary Lou Manizer's packaging box survived the transit adversities while the packaging box of the LORAC PRO Palette got squashed.

| LORAC PRO PALETTE |
LORAC PRO Palette is really very slim and it's packaging is made of suede + cardboard with magnetic click closure.
 |
| LORAC PRO PALETTE (eye shadows) |
Inside there are 16 eye shades with their names mentioned below them. Above row is all matte while bottom row is all shimmery.
 |
| LORAC PRO PALETTE (mirror) |
There is also a mirror inside. Which I think wouldn't be of any use.

| LORAC Behind the Scenes Eye Primer (Mini size) |
This is another reason why I ordered this palette. It comes with a mini size of LORAC's eye primer.

theBalm Mary Lou Manizer is a honey-hued highlighter suitable for every skin tone and is great as it gives a subtle glow to skin. The packaging is so cute. It does look huge in pictures but it's not that huge.

I might not do a review on these. As both of these are hugely raved about and praised by all beauty gurus.

Where to buy:

Where did I purchase these from?
I ordered both of these from a Facebook page Brands Arena Pk. Their prices are very reasonable. I got the LORAC PRO palette for Rs. 2650/- and theBalm Mary Lou Manizer for Rs. 1895/-. And the products are 100% genuine. I checked the QR codes of both products and also the packaging to see the flaws that fake products have. But trust me, they are very much original. I got these in like 6 days after ordering though the owner of the page said to wait for 2 weeks.
Delivery charges were: Rs.200/-
