They provide worldwide shipping and genuine products.

 I saw this product on Jaclyn Hill's youtube page months back but I didn't think much of it as they seemed very pricy for lipstick and lipgloss that I have never heard before.

I thought they were just normal lip glosses until "Gossmakeupartist" did a review video on "Youtube" and even better gave out a coupon code for 3 lipsticks + 3 lip glosses for $59.

It turns out to be around $11-12 dollars for each item after shipping is added 

so I thought lets give it a go~

I ordered it on the 28th of October and it arrived on the 13th of November.

(Just under 2.5 weeks)

I had emailed whiteninglightening earlier and asked about shipping options and time.

This is their reply:

So they were spot on when they said 2-4 weeks, which I am very happy about.

It arrived in a box like the one below and it was a really nice and hard box.

Products were great. No damages, no faults on packaging. All mirrors on the lip glosses have a plastic seal on it that you remove before you start using it.

The colour on the 1995 is quite dark but classy~

I love the light on these things!! so fun and I actually use the mirrors on these. I thought I would never use such little mirrors and it was a waste of packaging money but I use it all the time.^^ 
I am definitely disappointed with the packaging of the lipsticks though. 
Looks and feels cheap compared to the quality of the product.

www.whiteninglightning.com did a very good job.

I am happy overall. If I were to choose my favourite, it would be the Butter cream lip gloss hands down.

And thank you to gossmakeupartist for sharing the coupon code.

LORAC Holiday 2014: The Mega PRO Palette - BellBelleBella. 2014.LORAC Holiday 2014: 

The Mega PRO Palette - BellBelleBella. [ONLINE] Available at: 

http://bellbellebella.com/2014/09/lorac-holiday-2014-mega-pro-palette.html. [Accessed 23 October 2014].

Okay. There was so much hype about the limited edition Lorac Mega Pro Palette.

I wanted one of the Urban Decay or the Lorac Pro palettes as I do not own any high end eye shadow palettes but this was announced so I though well lets just get this and I don't need to get anything else.

I saw that Lorac Pro had a Facebook post that their website stock was sold out and Amazon.com were the only other stockist. 

I bought it very quickly.

Date Ordered : October 7th 2014

Arrival date : October 22nd 2014

Time taken : 15 days (around 2 weeks)

Shipping Method : Amazon Global Standard Shipping 

Shipping & Handling Price AU$9.42

It was my first purchase on Amazon.com

As soon as they post it they email you a confirmation. Then you can see a date on your order history the approximate time when your parcel will arrive.

Mine said 23rd of October but arrived a day early so it is very good.

It arrived in a flattened?? box. (below) 

Every box, including the ones inside and outside were squashed.

I had seen horrifying reviews on this palette at Amazon.com where people have said they received broken / damaged palettes and they can't get a replacement (as this is limited and is sold out)

Immediately after seeing the squashed boxed I was worried.

`

I take out the palette and there is white shadow at the front of the palette.....uh oh.....

LORAC MEGA-PRo PALETTE

I open the palette....

Thank my lucky stars that the palette is in one piece!!!!

There is quite a bit of fallout on the palette but nothing major. 

the espresso was wiped clean easily but the white still remained because of all the shimmer in it.

LORAC MEGA-PRo PALETTE

My palette is a faulty one.

If you look at the writing under all the shades they are not exactly in the middle as they are supposed to be.

I do not doubt that this is a the real deal (not a fake) as I bought it from Amazon when Lorac had stated they are selling it. The quality of the shadows don't lie.

But this is supposed to be a limited edition... 

and I paid a lot of money for this palette, which makes it very disappointing.

I also ordered the Unzipped Palette.

And yes... this was squashed too.

The eye primer is undamaged;) 

But the palette has deep scratches on the front like this one in the photo.

(bad photo)

Because packaging on this this palette is bright

the fallout is so much more obvious.

Look at the terrible fallout (photo below).

Luckily it has a cover on it so I can remove it and the mirror is untouched.

So here is everything.

I have written my thoughts on the Amazon shipping feedback.

Hopefully they will WAKE UP and fix up their packaging.

The quality of the shadows are AMAZING.

I now understand what all the hype about it was.^^

Will cherish these and play with them every day~
