This gorgeous palette is now on sale in John Lewis & Space Nk (the website) for around half its normal price - I purchased it from John Lewis priced £27 but I've seen it on the Space NK website for £20.
It contains four shades perfect for a nude/smokey eye, along with a cream blush & 3 glazes which as you can see from the swatch are quite sheer. 

 

I love love love this palette but as you can see from the swatch - the eye shadows and cheek colour aren't highly pigmented at all. (This is without the base applied) - so they'll require quite a bit of building up during application.



I gather this palette has been reduced due to the product being discontinued - so grab one while you can. It's a really portable size & comes with a lovely velvet brown pouch, nude lip pencil & eye base.
