I'm getting tempted into buying this compact after spotting this modern one designed by Marks and Spencer to celebrate their 125th birthday of being a store upon the British high street. Normally I'm not tempted by contemporary compacts, they seem a bit too shiny and unused. They feel a bit unloved because they don't yet have the affection and the history which amount in the rest of my collection. Plus this on, although "only" £9.50 is more then my normal limit towards a compact.
This 125 year compact mirror is credited as being inspired by the M&S archives with a vintage and retro feel - one continued across a full range of celebratory gifts. On its face sits a young woman peering and puckering up into her own compact in her 1950s polka dot dress, a pattern matching the background of the compacts face.
Maybe it should be a Christmas treat for myself, but knowing my luck it won't be in the store when I get forced to go Christmas shopping at the weekend. The joys of fighting the Yorkshire masses to have a look-see before being even able to buy anything is never a delight I look forward too.
