" Every year Chantecaille gives something back by donating a percentage of the proceeds from its seasonal make-up palette. This year it&#146;s the turn of the bees (previous years&amp;#039; projects have aided wild horse and dolphins). Why are the bees so important? Albert Einstein was once quoted as saying: &amp;quot;If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, man would have only four years to live.&amp;quot; In short, bees are pollinators and about a third of the food we eat wouldn&#146;t be available to us without them. There isn&#146;t one major reason as to why they&#146;re dying out, but it is thought that the heavy use of pesticides and various viruses have played a part. By donating five per cent of the proceeds from its Save The Bees Palette, \u00A374, Chantecaille is hoping to do just that - as well as raise awareness for the situation. In keeping with the theme, the palette has a gold bumble bee on each of the four shades. For us, the grey and peach eyeshadow hues are the show-stopping shades. However, blue eye make-up has been seen across the catwalks for both spring/summer 14 and autumn/winter 14, and the gold shade would make the perfect highlighter. In any case, if Albert Einstein&#146;s theory is anything to go by, this is definitely a palette worth investing in. Chantecaille Save The Bees Palette, \u00A374, is available now from Space NK "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
