The main draw of a good palette is that you have all of the shades you could possibly need for eyes, cheeks and lips – all in one convenient place.
Of course, you’re able to use these make-up palettes all year round – but the magic of the limited edition versions is in having packaging that’s a little bit more special than usual. They make excellent Christmas gifts for friends, or treats from you, to you!
