Similar palettes in Primark sell for £2.50, although it's thought this one might be a little more as it's part of a special collection. The MAC option will set you back £25.

The budget collection includes pink lipsticks, an eye, lip and cheek palette as well as nail polish, with prices starting at £1.50.

Eagle-eyed beauty fans will probably have been quick to spot the range of eye pigments too.

They're called Eye Candy and are a loose glitter eyeshadow which come in a pot.

The Primark version aren't available online, but cost around £2.
