Clarins The Essentials Eyeshadow Palette

I was well and truly spoilt this Christmas, and none more so than by my lovely friend Alison. I was so shocked and excited when I opened my presents on Christmas morning to discover that she'd given me The Clarins The Essentials eyeshadow palette. I'd seen a lot of posts about this palette in the run up to Christmas, and even had a little lust after it when I've walked past a Clarins counter, but I managed to hold off purchasing it - and it's a good job I did!

When I opened up my Christmas present from my friend Alison and saw that this was inside, I did a little squeal of delight! First off, how pretty and luxurious does the packaging look? And second, this was my first ever Clarins makeup product and I couldn't wait to try it, especially as I love a lot of their skincare.
