Sometimes the unexpected can be, well, unnerving. Mostly, we're creatures of habit, we like knowing what we're going to get and when we'll get it. In this instance, however, this is not one of those times.

Makeup extraordinaire and general legend Charlotte Tilbury has decided to shake things up just a tad - well, a lot actually - by releasing a delightful surprise palette.

Yep, that's right folks, it's as much of a revelation to us as it is to you - honestly we're still reeling over the news. Any who, allow us to introduce you to said newbie: Starry Eyes To Hypnotise Instant Eye Palette, £60. This absolute gem is just what our makeup bag has been missing, even if we do say so ourselves.

What to read next

Inside the sparkling blue case sits 12 stunning shades tha are all wearable, ranging from peachy oranges, golds and pinks all the way to muted grey and khaki, finishing off with a deep navy blue.

Each shade in the exclusive palette is made with real diamond powder, and there's the perfect mix of shimmery and matte shades to play with till your heart's content.

Now, for the important bit. The palette officially launches on the 12th of September at 9am sharp (alarm clocks at the ready) and will be available to buy for 24 hours. Considering her previous Instant Eye Palettes have been immediate sell-outs, our advice is to jump in there ASAP if you want in with a chance of owning one.

Don't get too stressed, though, if you end up snoozing and manage to miss out you can still cop one, you'll just have to hold tight and wait patiently till October 3rd when it will be back with the rest of the Christmas collection.
