Makeup too pretty to use

I have a weakness for gorgeous makeup palettes. You know, the ones that are so ornate and pretty that actually using them feels like a crime. Beauty Addict turned me on to the latest, a lovely flower design from Yves St. Laurent. The collector's edition Opium compact has a black lacquer case that opens to display a flower design done in four shades of ultrafine multi-use powder. It sells for $55. For other gorgeous palettes check out this DiorLucky palette, Armani's modernist Eye Mania, Chantecaille's beautiful butterflies, and my favorite, the Chanel Coromandel which was inspired by screens owned by Coco Chanel. For a drugstore beauty queen version, there's also Physician's Formula which does a few cute pressed powders and bronzers.
