GORGEOUS GIVEAWAY: LORAC CROC PALETTE
Beauty in the Bag turns five this month and we want to celebrate with you. In honor of our birthday, we have a special GORGEOUS #GIVEAWAY for FIVE winners. The prize: the gorg, wearable Croc Palette from LORAC (ARV $36) that features four eyeshadow shades and one blush.
The palette’s colors tend toward neutral and are great for everyday. The eyeshadows include: Moonstone (soft champagne), Serenity (peachy champagne bronze), Garnet (copper), and Suede (medium chocolate brown). All have shimmer, except for Suede, which is matte. Soul, the brownish pink blush is also matte.
Suggested use: Moonstone as the base, Serenity on the lid, Garnet in the crease, and Suede in the outer corner. Finish up with the blush for a subtle rosy touch.
As the name suggest, the palette case is covered in faux croc. It’s sleek and chic, very travel friendly, and won’t open in your purse thanks to a magnetic closure. No brush included, just good-quality well-pigmented shades. After all, Carol Shaw, the brand’s creator is an experienced makeup artist, who developed shades that last, stay put, and are easy to apply.
We love the wearability and versatility of the Crosc Palette, and hope you will love it too.

I love to apply an eye makeup primer to my eyelid before applying any makeup. It makes my makeup last so much longer!
September 2nd, 2013 at 11:55 AMdefinitely eye primer. Then I put on eyeliner and blend it with an eyeshadow brush to make the lines blurry so it doesn’t smudge. I have brown eyes so i love colors tht make my eyes pop such as bright greens and blues. Purples and golds are great too!
September 2nd, 2013 at 12:04 PMHate to sound like a broken record, but applying eyelid primer makes a huge difference in keeping your eye makeup looking fresh all day long.
I like to apply the eyelid color first, followed by the crease color (lightly) and then the “base” color over everything to soften the look. I always apply the lightest color up under the brow to lift the entire eye area.
Love this combination of colors – bronze shadows really looks great with my blue eyes!
September 2nd, 2013 at 12:25 PMYour face is a canvas..use brushes.you can blend much beautifully and shading and contouring alot more with different size brushes..It is all about the blending when it comes to shadows.
September 2nd, 2013 at 12:30 PMDefinitely use a primer and a crease brush! I use two brushes when applying my shadow, one for the base color and one for the crease.
September 2nd, 2013 at 12:33 PMMe eye makeup application tip is to use a white base color so that it makes your colors pop! White has a brightening effect and when I use it, it really brightens my color and also you can use a white eyeliner on your waterline to brighten your eye as well.
September 2nd, 2013 at 12:42 PMMake sure you have good brushes. I used to use terrible brushes and my eyes looked awful! I finally invested in a quality brush set and it made a world of difference!
September 2nd, 2013 at 12:45 PMMy tip is 1. primer – this will set your eye makeup making it last a lot longer than if you used nothing, and depending on the primer, some primers allow for the color of the eyeshadow to appear more vibrant than if you just placed the shadow on the lid by itself. 2. a good blending brush…blend blend blend….no harsh lines please…blending is so important.
September 2nd, 2013 at 1:00 PMUse eyelid primer
September 2nd, 2013 at 3:06 PMEye shadow primer!
September 2nd, 2013 at 6:06 PMI use a primer first then apply my eye shadow. It’s the same concept as putting a primer on your face before your make-up. Your guaranteed to have your eyes look fresh all day long!!
September 3rd, 2013 at 1:31 AMGreat clean brushes are vital
September 3rd, 2013 at 5:32 AMWhen applying any eye product (primer, shadow, liner), I always pull/hold the side of my eye with one finger, it eases the application since it makes the eye surface easier to cover.
September 3rd, 2013 at 9:47 AMI do primer always specially if you have oily lids also preferred one that has some coverage for discoloration or redness. This way you eyeshadows will show their true colors and blend great.
September 3rd, 2013 at 11:40 AMI curl before and after when applying mascara!
September 3rd, 2013 at 12:04 PMEye shadow primer is a must!
September 3rd, 2013 at 12:30 PMUsing makeup brushes helps create a finished look. Also, I will save the last layer of Mascara for after all the eyeshadow is applied.
September 3rd, 2013 at 12:45 PMWhat I like to use to prep my eye makeup and make it last the whole day is use a primer, then a skin-toned cream base, appply the shadows and once I am done applying all the shadows, I will apply makeup setting spray on the lids for an all day wear eye look.
September 3rd, 2013 at 1:34 PMMy tips would be to apply makeup to clean, moisturized, primed skin. Moisturizer is very important because you don’t want to apply makeup onto dry flakey skin, the makeup would only look worse. Also, primer makes ur makeup last longer. It’s an important base for you to start out with. Another tip would be, to also wear eyeshadow primer. It will not only make your eyeshadow last longer but it will also make it more vibrant. Always take care of your canvas and your makeup will always look wonderful!
September 3rd, 2013 at 1:44 PMApplying a highlight color, such as shimmery white or champagne, in the inner corner of the eyes and on the brow bone gives a more awake and doe-eyed look. I also like to use a small damp liner brush to apply shadows for an effect similar to gel eyeliner, its easy to do a bold look or to blend it out for something more subtle and smokey.
September 3rd, 2013 at 1:45 PMWhen first applying eyeshadow, pat it on the eyelid first instead of brushing it back and forth to help it to stick to the lid better.
September 3rd, 2013 at 3:31 PMThen, use short, slow brush strokes in same direction to blend.
I always use eyeshadow primer…my favorite is Lime Crime at http://www.limecrimemakeup.com because it’s one of the only primers I have found that isn’t yellow based so it doesn’t change my eyeshadow colors, it lasts all day and it makes the eyeshadow pop! 🙂
September 3rd, 2013 at 6:22 PMI use an eyeliner brush in dry eyeshadow to get that smokey look.
September 3rd, 2013 at 9:04 PMRemove all oils with toner
September 4th, 2013 at 5:51 AMUse mascara in a lighter shade for definition that also looks natural.
September 4th, 2013 at 5:55 AMI like to use black glitter eyeliner.
September 4th, 2013 at 9:24 AMUse white powder under your eye to catch any falling shadow for easy cleanup after application.
September 4th, 2013 at 10:34 AMmy tip is to wet the eyeshadow just e little bit it seems to give it staying power
hippopurplemonkey at yahoo dot com
September 4th, 2013 at 11:00 AMI apply my eye shadow along the bone line above my eye (it goes diagonally), it creates a more dramatic effect.
September 4th, 2013 at 11:47 AMno tip, just a husband trying to win some great cosmetics for the wife from beautyinthebag.com weekly!
September 4th, 2013 at 12:43 PMApply a very, VERY thin coat of mascara before curling lashes. Warm your Curler slightly w a blow dryer, curl lashes at various points from base to tip for more natural curl. Also pump the curler as you curl so u don’t get that awful crimp. Apply two coats mascara & voila, gorg lashes.
September 4th, 2013 at 1:35 PMI use dark eye shadow as thick liner. A little smudge and it makes a quick smoky eye.
September 4th, 2013 at 2:48 PMI use eyelash primer. It makes the mascara work even better to get thicker lashes.
September 4th, 2013 at 4:21 PMUse a bit of Vaseline if you want your eyeshadow to stay put.
September 4th, 2013 at 4:50 PMWhen I am in a hurry, I use Qtips to smudge my
September 4th, 2013 at 7:10 PMeyeliner, for a sultry, smoky look!
Many thanks, Cindi

I have not mastered the eye makeup part yet….So no tips….
September 5th, 2013 at 2:39 AMToner to remove oils on my eyelids
September 5th, 2013 at 5:52 AMNo tips but by reading others I think I better start using a primer.
September 5th, 2013 at 9:57 AMI wet the eyeshadow before putting it on to help it stay better
September 5th, 2013 at 11:52 AMI use a primer to help prevent a crease.
September 5th, 2013 at 3:23 PMI like to use a powder on my eyelid first. It helps smooth and dry the area so that the color goes on smooth and evenly.
September 5th, 2013 at 5:26 PMAlways use primer first – Benefit & Smashbox are my favorites! Also, a bit of gold added to the V in the inner corner of each eye makes your eyes pop & looks more natural than white!
September 5th, 2013 at 9:24 PMClean dry eyelids works well
September 6th, 2013 at 5:41 AMPrimer and always blend your eye shadow colors together 🙂
September 6th, 2013 at 11:49 AMPrimer is definitely a must and then I love buying sets so it takes the guess work out of putting colors together. Experiment with the set – usually there are a lot of ways to put the set colors together that look great.
September 6th, 2013 at 11:58 AMI use my Stila cream blush for eyeshadow. It works great and doesn’t crease.
September 6th, 2013 at 12:05 PMBlending is the key, I actually have the best luck by using my fingertips to finish the blending process.
September 6th, 2013 at 12:47 PMEye shadow primer! That is like the best thing ever thought of…. Keeps your eye shower lasting all day with no worries!!
September 6th, 2013 at 12:49 PMYes, my tip is to use a sanitezed thumbtack to separate your eyelashes. But be careful! It’s fun too.
September 6th, 2013 at 1:50 PMI leave my eye makeup to be the very last thing that I do! I also use a primer on my eyelashes before mascara!
September 6th, 2013 at 1:54 PMI personally just put my liquid foundation on all over my face and on my eye lids then I apply my eye make up and set it with powder it works for me and I don’t have to spend the extra money to by primer.
September 6th, 2013 at 2:17 PMI use primer to make my shadow last longer,ty!!
September 6th, 2013 at 3:24 PMI have very oily skin so I apply an eyelid primer before I do anything. Then I like to put a lighter color on my entire eyelid with a good brush and the darker color at the crease with a crease brush. Once I’m done applying my eyeshadow a I like to a fluffy eyeshadow brush and kind of blend the shadows so there are no harsh lines between the colors. Love me some Lorac!!! ðŸ˜
September 6th, 2013 at 3:37 PMIll use a bronzed base or any colored base before putting a light shade all on my lid to create a different look! 🙂
September 6th, 2013 at 5:01 PMI would love to be an owner of LORAC Croc Palette. Would wear it to work and play.
September 6th, 2013 at 5:27 PMMy tip is to sweep eyeshadow in the crease of the eye to create definition. I avoid applying eyeshadow too close to the edge of my eye and instead focus on making an inverted arc going from the inside of my eye outward. I also like to use a base or primer first so my eyeshadow will last longer. Thanks for the chance! I love the neutral colors in the Croc Palette from LORAC!!!
September 6th, 2013 at 6:33 PMFollow your lower lid’s natural curve to add a winged eye on top!
September 6th, 2013 at 7:49 PMI like to apply my a shimmery highlight color only in the corners of my eyes after I have finished my whole eye makeup to look awake and refreshed I also like to use a light cream color in the bottom waterline to make eyes look bigger and also look awake.
September 7th, 2013 at 12:07 AMBlending is very important
September 7th, 2013 at 5:39 AMTo get my eyes ready for make up application I use cold spoons! I put 2 metal spoons in the freezer until cold, hold them on my eyelids and under eyes to take away any puffiness. Works like a charm
September 7th, 2013 at 11:05 AMI use a lasting eyeprimer first, then select a good eyeshadow and blending brush to apply the colors. For precision, I like to use scotch tape at the sides of my eyes to get a clean line. Lastly, I use pointed Q-Tips to correct any unwanted smudging or lines.
September 7th, 2013 at 1:40 PMUsing the right brushes
September 8th, 2013 at 6:18 AMIf your eyeliner is too hard, use the heat from a blower dryer to soften it.
September 8th, 2013 at 11:13 AMDies ist kein grodfes Gesche4ft –> It is no big deal. I know. But from the way the original English secntnee has been translated into German, I can straight away say that it’s machine translation. No problem Vajra, as long as one does not end up with “Out of sight, out of mind” being translated as “invisible idiot”!Regards,Dondu N.Raghavan
September 9th, 2013 at 6:05 AMif my mascara dried out a bit i am adding an a drop of the eye drops!
September 9th, 2013 at 11:40 AMI always use face and eye Primer
September 10th, 2013 at 3:04 PMI use concealer first, then white base shadow, and then a soft, shimmery eyeshadow
