Fluffy little pick of the week: Maison Lancome

At €45, this week’s pick is a little pricier than the usual Friday fripperies on this blog. But just look at it – it’s a veritable objet d’art! Almost too pretty to use, this vintage inspired Maison Lancôme blush palette is the jewel of the new  collection, 29 Saint Honoré – named for the Paris address of the Lancôme Institute, home to the brand for the past 75 years.  The collection, inspired by the Femme Fatales of the 30s and 40s, also includes chic red lipsticks and an eyeshadow quad in shades of neutral browns and taupes.  A grey mascara and two shades of Le Vernis nail polish, in red and sparkly black, complete the collection. It’s available at Lancôme counters nationwide from the 1st of September.

But this pretty palette does not come cheap. What do you think, ooh la la or oh no, no?!
