They came, we used, they conquered. You know the ones, our all-time favourites. Our heroines. Our failsafe, foolproof beauty wizards. Red lipstick. Black liner. Bronzer. Highlighter. Whatever it may be for you, they’re ye trusty army of beauty go-tos. And whilst we are by no means underplaying their significance or role in our beauty bag, sometimes we look down on them, and think blah. Been there. Used that (a squillion times). So why not add some razzle dazzle to both your makeup routine and cosmetic case, with some brand spanking-new, fancy palettes. Because we all love a palette, and these jazzy numbers will bring some beauty cheer to any old, makeup sad sack.
