I'm back with quite an interesting, innovative piece of beauty history for Flashback Beauty Friday, both in terms of packaging and product. If you missed last week, it was a look back at single eyeshadow compacts from Urban Decay and how they've changed over the years. Today, I'm going back to Spring 2008 and Gucci Westman's final collection at Lancôme as artistic director.

I thought after mentioning them last week, I'd follow up with a post on Urban Decay's single eyeshadow packaging. Last time, we looked at the Hard Candy Eye Candy and I said how sweet they were in shade names, packaging style and colour and how UD were the complete opposite.

Sorry for posting so late, but I went rummaging today for new items for these posts and photographed them all and it took time. I did ask myself why I chose the hottest day of the year to do it (!), but I had and still have my fan blasting me in the face...not that it's helping now (just getting hotter).  Today was a success though, I found some things that I'm really excited about including these wee compacts, but first, last week if you missed it, was the limited edition Opium Powder Palette by YSL.

Flashback Beauty Friday is a weekly look back at discontinued or limited edition beauty products and their packaging. Last week I chose a bronzing compact by Pout and today I have a beautiful, limited edition piece from YSL.

Last week I shared some old limited edition No7 summer palettes for Flashback Beauty Friday and this week I have an item from now defunct boutique brand, Pout. I wrote more about the actual brand in an older post here on their eyeshadows.
