It’s that time of year again when the beauty brands go all sparkly and festive and release a plethora of eyeshadow palettes to delight and enchant our eyes during the Christmas season. I love a good Christmas eyeshadow palette and couldn’t have been more excited when I heard that Clarins were releasing another limited edition palette for the second year in a row.

The Essentials Eye Make Up Palette* (£35) is available online and is the perfect, lightweight addition to your makeup to take you from desk to dance floor in a instant with a flurry of sparkly and shimmering shadows. There are ten wearable eye shadows in a harmonious collection of colours from sultry greys, mocha browns, pearly whites and that gorgeous gold shade! There is a variety of finishes from matte, satin and pearl so this palette is incredibly versatile and can be used day or night for a selection of different subtle and party time looks. Theses mineral powder shadows can be used wet or dry to vary the intensity and all have a silky-smooth, long-lasting formula which is easily blended out for a pretty, defined finish. For the look above I took the second shade in from the left all over my lid and then blended the taupe-brown shade, second from right, through my crease. To finish I pressed the gold glitter shade onto my lids with my fingertips which is the best method to achieve minimal fallout and a super-sparkly finish. I also ran a little bit of the gold through my lower lash line with the handy little brush applicator included in the palette. For my lips I whipped out one of my favourite lip colours of the moment – Bourjois’s Rouge Edition Velvet in Pink Pong. The perfect lip to pair with my golden eyes.

Do you like the look of this limited edition Clarins palette?

    Although I do like this palette, there are so many nude palettes that it's nothing new. I'm sure all of us already have something like this.

    I don't really know about these palettes anymore. I mean if you have the nakeds why even bother. They all look the same.

    I'm so so desperate for this, I've been eyeing it up for a while. I think it's simply for the glitter really, perfect for parties, you've tempted me even more!

    I hope to find this palette in Canada. The Clarins makeup collection this fall is just so beautifull, chic and easy to wear. Guess who's coveting an eye palette now?!

Where to next?
