This palette arrived at my door today. Created by the doyenne of makeup, Gucci Westman, it's been at her side through this year's Paris, London and New York fashion weeks. 'My inspiration came from women in fashion in the 1920's Art Deco period and fashion illustrations, all of the saturated pigments and the unexpected pops of colour but still wearable and work for everyone,' she says.
The cream-textured highlighter, blush, two eyeshadows, lip colour and brush are all housed within a palette of Thumbelina proportions (good things, small packages an' all that). A cleverly concealed draw pulls out for on-the-go pout touch-ups.
The highlighter is brilliant, perfect for contouring cheek and brow bones, while the shadows are gorgeously Autumnal. The lip colour is as eye-popping on the lips as it looks in the palette, hoorah! And the blush may look a tad orange, but on the skin it turns the perfect shade of peach. This is the only downside with the palette's size - you'll need to apply a few times to get enough colour to spread across your cheeks.
So how can you get your mitts on this pro palette? From today, if you spend £20 on Revlon cosmetics at http://www.boots.com/, you will get this Limited Edition palette free. That's right. Free. Now I would have no trouble spending this amount on Revlon (their Nail Enamel in Minted is my current obsession) but it's such a great palette, it's almost a shame it's not available to buy separately as well.
