It´s no secret that I am a big fan of
Charlotte Tilbury. Some of her products have become complete staples in my
makeup bag, but I do have to admit that I am not a fan of her entire line. I do
think CT products are very hit and miss, and as the brand isn’t the cheapest on
the market you really do need to choose well when buying.
The brand has had a few new launches
recently and I decided to try them out.
Firstly, I had to get my hands on her new Instant eye
palette. Yep, I was one of
those that patiently waited for the pre-sale.
If there is one thing I love about CT is
her eye shadows, I just think she nails it with the formula and this palette in
no exception. The shadows are absolutely amazing, they have the right amount of
pigment, they blend easily and there is no fallout. Some high-end shadows seem
too powdery but these are just absolutely amazing. The palette itself is beautiful
with similar packaging to her Filmstar bronze and glow.
The colour selection is also amazing, the
concept behind the palette is really smart, there are 12 eye shadows grouped
into 4 looks, Day, Desk, Date and Disco, making it the perfect palette for every
occasion. Its perfect for that kind of girl that isn’t crazy into makeup but
does want to have a one fits all palette.
I
tried the new CT
Hollywood lips just by chance, I am not a big fan of her lipsticks except
for her infamous lipstick in pillow
talk. Liquid lipsticks definitely had its moment in 2016, now it seems that
many high end brands are coming out with their own versions. The Hollywood lips
are matte as you would expect from a liquid lipstick but don’t completely dry,
therefore they aren’t as drying and flaky on your lips. They are more
comfortable to wear but don’t last as long on the lips either. I do really like
the formula but I don’t think I would repurchase as there are many high street
brands that make really similar liquid lipsticks. What does stand out from the
product is the applicator as its amazing for very precise applications, no need
for lip liners! My
shade is Too Bad I´m Bad which is a rosy pink.
After swatching the new Hollywood
Light Wand in store I decided that I needed this product in my life,
specially as I was about to go on holiday and I could see myself as the ultimate
golden goddess on those warm nights out (yes, I do have a vivid imagination)
The product itself is amazing, you can go as intense or as soft as you want as
it blends like a dream. The innovative part of this product again is the
packaging as it is dispensed through a sponge applicator very similar to the Maybelline
age rewind concealer. I do love this product but I do have to say that the tube
isn’t packed full of product which was disappointing.
The Hollywood
Contour Wand is the perfect product for anyone that isn’t very good or doesn’t
want to spend much time on contouring as it blends really easily and the sponge
tip lets you dispense the product very precisely. As with the instant eye
palette this contour stick is perfect for busy girls that don’t have time to
spend on makeup but at the same time want to have their options open for a put
together look. This product come is two shades and I have light to medium.

Tilbury products are.
