Estee Lauder compacts are just as collectable as their solid fragrances – I love this new limited edition, The Black Crystal Compact, that is exclusive to John Lewis. Even though I’m not a nose-powderer – I don’t know many who are, actually – I think a beautiful compact is a lovely thing to have in your handbag. This one is £125 (it has a silver crystal sister if you don’t like black) and is embellished with Swarovski crystals. The powder inside is Lucidity.
Am thinking it’s time to move with the times and create some beautiful, refillable lip-gloss compacts.
Absolutely beautiful. I’m not a massive fan of some of the Lauder compacts – they run a bit too over the top and old lady for me – but this is gorgeous, and the way it feels in the hand is also great.
I *am* a nose powderer – and I hate sticking my fingers in gloss to apply to my lips – so I’d love to see a selection of drop-in products that can be used with one case, so the nose-powderers can have powder, the gloss lovers have gloss, and the fragrance lovers have solid fragrance. Or highlighter. Or solid lipstain. The possibilities would be endless!
This is gorgeous!although a little out of my price range x
This is cute, can it be refilled after its used? like place another powder inside?
I would love for it to have continued use after the original powder is gone. The case is too cute to just put away.
Although this looks lovely, I kinda don’t see the point… £125 for something that most likely will never leave the house or if you do take it out and about, get damaged or lost! I think I’ll stick to my cheap and cheerful compacts

Very pretty, bit pricey for me but I did pick up a gorgeous gemini EL compact years ago in America. I loved it, so so pretty to pull out of the handbag
I’m not a nose-powderer either, but I may just have to buy this one for the sake of it… IT’S AMAZE!!
I have an Estee Lauder compact, called Shinig Star. Gold colour with embossed stars with diamanti centres abiut 2 1/2″ across. Anyone got any information please?
