Charlotte Tilbury Haul


Charlotte Tilbury Haul

When I was in the UK, this happened.

I am partial to some Charlotte Tilbury.  Of all the things I own (and let's face it, I own most things) there are only a couple of things I have been disappointed with.  I took the opportunity of having the counter right in front of me in Selfridges (in both London and Birmingham) to stock up on a few more bits.

First up I bought two more of the Eyes to Mesmerize cream eyeshadow pots in Bette and Mona Lisa.  I already own Marie Antoinette and I have been really impressed with the texture and lasting power.  Cream eyeshadows are so hit and miss but this is a formula that lasts on me.  My preferred application method is to dab on with my finger then use a MAC blending brush (217 is perfect) to blend out.

I have also been looking for a really good red lip liner, and having loved Pillow Talk so much, Kiss N Tell seemed like a good choice.  I have been using this a lot and it gets a big thumbs up from me.

I also picked up one of the Eyes To Mesmerize shadow/mini liner sets in The Huntress/Amber Moon.  I love the design of the eyeshadow, it is beautifully Art Deco.  I am looking forward to trying this out.

Next I purchased something I bought and used previously and didn't like-the Colour Chameleon Colour Morphing Eye Pencils-you can read my initial review here.  But Bronzed Garnet is such an amazing warm reddy brown tone that it sucked me in again.

The thing I wanted to try the most was the new Magic Foundation-especially as it is a fuller coverage foundation than the original Light Wonder.  I was surprised to get matched to a shade that wasn't the lightest in the range for once!  Then one of the girls in my office Yasmeen commented on my instagram and told me to pick up the complexion brush too because she thought it was amazing-so I did!  I will review this in full asap.

Having seen good reviews of The Retoucher concealer pen I also picked up one in the lightest shade.  Having just finished my Estee Lauder BB Brush on Glow concealer, I think this could be a good replacement.

The Airbrush Flawless Finishing Powder is one of my all time faves and I picked up two spares-it's one of the finest shine control powders I have tried and you can read my full thoughts here.

Why buy one lipstick when you can buy 5?  I really do like the Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks-both the Matte Revolution (my lipstick formula of 2015) which you can read reviews of here and here and the K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipstick which I reviewed here.  I literally love them all!!

I'd love to know if you have tried the Charlotte Tilbury line and what you love from it!
