I wanted this palette so bad, but this morning I got bad news that my Granny passed away . I still ordered, I needed retail comfort which I do if I am sad. It's kinda bittersweet to know that this palette will remind me of her, but I will truly miss her
I'm so sorry... ((hugs))

I've personally visited several major shipping distribution centers (UPS, USPS, FedEx and let me tell y'all none of them handle packages with care.So for the life of me I don't understand why in the world Amazon used padded envelopes to ship makeup palettes.That has to be the worst packaging for cosmetics period. My daughter ordered the palette using my Amex card. Every shade was shattered. I just filed a claim with them and they're gonna take care of the refund for me. In the meantime my daughter is pretty disgusted with Lorac and how they've handled the release of this palette right down to the piss poor packaging that it was delivered in. To soothe her disappointment my husband took her shopping to Sephora.Lorac won't be seeing anymore of my money again due this nonsense.

I completely understand your frustrations, but I must say that Lorac is a good brand with a very good reputation up until this incident. The packaging issue was primarily Amazon's fault.

I think Lorac made serious missteps by not having it placed in-store and only having it sold online thru two outlets.For their level of popularity it would've been better for the consumers.

You are all right. I dont get what was they thinking when they put a makeup palette in an envelope.It makes you wonder what form of training they give to their employes. Only a man (an not a very bright one) would have think is Ok to ship makeup like this.

amazon has been known to not package things well, but they also handle large volumes daily and cosmetics is definitely not close to being their top selling category. on the plus note, amazon has the best customer service ^_^

I know that Amazon sometimes sends messages asking you what you thought of the packaging. I wonder if they did so with these orders. I'm worried about my order now.

Im also worried about my palette, but I checked my tracking in ups and it saids that is a package not an enveloped (I order other things at the same time, so they may had put it in a box) I will complaine about the packaging if it comes in an enveloped. Even if it is not damaged.

Ordered something from amazon ( tarte pressed powder item) it came in an envelope a bit damaged. This was a while ago so I'm not surprised.

One of the best swatch videos I've seen from someone with darker skin tones.

It's back up on amazon
Seems like it was only there for all of 5 minutes. It had a notification saying it would take an additional 1-2 business days to process. Tried to add to my cart but it seems like it's not available again.
