It’s an incredible list and I’m jumping to grab one! Available from the end of October at the various Estee Lauder group websites!
NARS x Christopher Kane
I’m not normally the first in line for a NARS eyeshadow palette, but the limited edition Chrome Couture Collection has my heart skipping beats! It’s a beautiful Christopher Kane for NARS palette, which is offers high pigment and six hardwired eyeshadows. There’s a blend of shimmer, glitter, and pearl finishes – utterly gorgeous! It retails for £34 and is available exclusively at the NARS London Boutique (9 King Street Boutique in Covent Garden) and www.narscosmetics.co.uk.
