When I went to the Sephora website to order the LORAC Pro Palette, I was dismayed to discover that they had stopped carrying LORAC. After checking out the interwebs, it became obvious that getting your hands on LORAC in Canada was next to impossible. Until I discovered that Nordstrom now ships to Canada using Borderfree, so you don't incur crazy high, surprise customs charges on top of your order and shipping charges.
Prices on the website were displayed in CAD, which was awesome! The Pro Palette was $48.25 CAD.
Shipping was $8.86 CAD which is reasonable. International orders aren't eligible for free shipping. The "duties & taxes" were only $6.27 CAD (for a total of $63.38 CAD).
My order shipped on February 27, and I received it on March 7, which would be 5 business days. To get it to an island in Canada in winter is pretty darn impressive!
Most importantly, there were no additional, unexpected customs charges.
It also came with a little baby sized Behind the Scenes Eye Primer. There have been so many reviews of the Pro Palette. For some amazing swatches and photos check out Temptalia's review. Does it live up to all the hype? I think so. I love that it's half matte shades, and that the shimmery shades are actually not too shimmery. They are all very wearable. Unlike some palettes, I will actually wear all of the shades. They are as pigmented and as soft and blendable as the reviews said. I am super happy with it.
