Every year in the run up to Christmas, Estee Lauder bring out their blockbuster makeup set that you can buy with any fragrance purchase. This time, the set costs £54 but has a value of over £290.

This year’s collection is spectacular with a range of makeup that’s based on suit all pinks and peaches, alongside some skincare and a tiny fragrance sample.

It’s all wrapped up in a very gorgeous bright red patent vanity bag (with a mini make up bag included, too). Whatever way you look at it, it’s a bargain and is a notorious sell-out well before most of us have even thought of starting our shopping.

So, I’ll whizz through the contents: The Deluxe Eye Palette contains 12 EyeShadows in Pink Mink, Captivating Cocoa, Infamous Sky, Provocative Petal, Rebel Metal, Fiery Saffron, Ivory Power, Currant Desire, Defiant Nude, Envious Orchid … and the listings have gone a little awry, listing only 11 shades and one of those is a duplicate! The palette also contains two Pure Color Blushes in Pink Kiss and Peach Passion. There’s a limited edition All Over Shimmer Powder, three full size Pure Color Lipsticks in Candy, Fuschia Fever and Rose Tea, as well as two Pure Color Glosses (kind of Bobbi Brown size) in Nude Rose and Shocking Pink. The final makeup item is Sumptuous Extreme Mascara in Extreme Black.
As far as skincare goes, there’s a full size Gentle Eye Makeup Remover, a small Advanced Night Repair Sychronized Recovery Complex, a small Revitalizing Supreme Creme. The sample size fragrance is Modern Muse) my least favourite Lauder fragrance.
Whatever way you look at this, if you have an Estee Lauder fragrance to buy, the makeup set is a sumptuous thing – I can’t see any beauty lover not falling head over heels for this. It’s showing up differently at different retailers, offer wise, and John Lewis HERE have some interesting combinations, but Boots are offering a 10% off when you spend over £40 plus you get your points HERE. (I wouldn’t try carrying this one home.. it’s heavy – let the internet do the carrying!).

I love this! It is so true that as I even think about it, it sells out before I can grab one! Hoping someone who mentioned this has got me one already! Wouldn’t that be nice! It looks gorgeous from your photos 🙂
A bit disappointing though as I find that the palettes in these kind of ‘gift sets’/collection are of poor (or poorer) quality.. they’re just so powdery and barely any pigment.. kinda was hoping that there’ll be more skincare stuff but c’est la vie.
How gorgeous! I see this and think of the point in your interview with Sali Hughes when you told her about the makeup set that you received from your parents for Christmas one year. Your eyes had such a sparkle as you recalled it. I loved that. I love that you made a career for yourself that’s perfect for you, and I love that we all get to share a bit of it.
You’re really kind! Yes, these are always rather special – I wish I’d known when I was that girl opening that beautiful box of beauty that it’s where I’d end up many years later!
That’s insane!! There’s so much stuff, it looks amazing 😀 x
I love these kits! i got one of them one year it was amazing! would be so happy to get another one day
