I am most certainly one of those people who finds a product they like and them sticks with the brand. Charlotte Tilbury being one of these brands. It was around this time last year that I purchased my first Charlotte Tilbs, from then I've loved the brand in general.
The brand has a high end glam feel, from product finishes to the product packaging. All round high quality. Although this is a pricey brand you get what you pay for!
So this is my little Charlotte Tilbury collection, small but costly and effective! All of the Charlotte Tilbury products have gorgeous packaging, have I mentioned that already??
Magic Foundation
Shade 2 Fair Pale
This was the first product that I tried at the time it was a product that everyone had in their makeup bag, the ones that bloggers rave about. So I toddled off to try it for myself. First off the colour match is perfect for me, very good job to the artists on the counter.
The foundation has a good coverage, not a lot of concealer is required for me just something to brighten my under eye area - fab for them early mornings. One thing with this foundation is that its pretty creamy, it takes slightly longer to blend and get a smooth finish when using a brush. I find this is best blended with a brush then just to totally smooth it over use a beauty blender or fingers. Also with it being creamy, make sure its set well so it doesn't move around through the day. A plus side, it's very hydrating and gives a natural glowy finish. It is long lasting and a go too for me.
The Dolce Vita Luxury Palette
This is the newest instalment to my collection and I dare say my favourite.
This palette contains 4 colours, all compliment each other. The Dolce Vita shades are 'Prime' which is a shimmer champagne nude, 'Enhance' a shimmer burgundy(brown undertone), 'Pop' a mega shimmery mid brown and lastly 'Smoke' a darker brown shade.
My two favourites are currently Pop and Enhance. I wear these two together for a smokey eye look. All shades are very easy to blend with good pigment. The easiest thing with these shades are they can be worn casual or built up for a heavier makeup look. This is a very versatile palette.
Lipsticks
I currently have 2 lipsticks from Charlotte Tilburys range. Both different shades and finishes.
Firstly I have the shade 'Glastonbury', a really popular shade! This is a deep purpley burgundy with a matte finish. I love dark lips and burgundy is my go to colour! This is a long lasting matte finish. It is food and drink proof and doesn't need topping up every 10 mins. Only down side I find it slightly drying from time to time, lip balm at the ready!
And my second shade is 'Sexy Sienna'. This is the other end of the spectrum for me, this is a pink nude. A more of an every day work ear shade for me, it gives a nice flush of colour without being over powering. It has a cream finish but isn't as long lasting as the matte, being totally honest I like that better with lighter every day shades. It is very hydrating for my lips and I loved it throughout the winter, pale skin with shiny pink lips and a flush of blush is a fave of mine!
Scent of a Dream
By far the best smelling perfume on the market! Its a shame I'm so ridiculously bad at describing smells! This perfume has an expensive and vintage edge to the scent, its also said to smell slightly different on each person, how fab? Rather than a best spray the perfume sprays more like a mist meaning one spray is enough. It is strong so a small amount goes a long with.
It has gorgeous packaging, perfect for a dressing table.
And thats just about it for my little Charlotte Tilbury corner. I love the brand, if you haven't already tried it you really need to. All products are available here.
