The palette sold out in under eight hours on its initial launch.

David Gabbie, CEO of Beauty Bay said: “We’re incredibly proud of the success of our collaboration with Nikkie. It’s been our biggest launch yet and we’re pleased that Nikkie and Beauty Bay fans have responded so positively to the palette.”
