Last week I got my makeup done at the Charlotte Tilbury counter in Selfridges, London. While I was there I got three items - Lipstick, Lip Liner and Beach Stick. I really like Charlotte's products as the packaging looks awesome, the quality is fantastic and they have a range of colors to suit everyone. I have a few of her blushers, eyeshadows and lipsticks so I was really glad to add more of her products to my collection.
The lipstick I went for is from Charlotte's Hot Lips range of colors and this one is called Kim K.W. which is a nude color. It's got a nice creamy texture to it and is very pigmented, meaning I didn't need a lot to get the color to show up. It also stayed on for most of the day too and needed a bit of reapplying later on. I didn't have to reapply much of it as most of it had stayed on.
To match the lipstick I got a lip liner in the color Pillow Talk. It's a bit darker than the lipstick but still goes nicely with it. The texture of the pencil was nice and smooth and had a creamy feel to it. I didn't have to tug, pull or push down with it either.
I have a few of Charlotte's blushers so I was really interested in trying out her Beach Sticks. These are a multi use product for lips and face, although I only used this one on my cheeks. They come in a range of different colors and give your cheeks a glow that only a week at the beach can give you. The color I went for was called Moon Beach and is a luminous, rose gold, iridescent peach.
The texture is nice and creamy and it glides onto the cheeks. I didn't have to use a lot either to get the color to show up as it was very pigmented. As this one is a cream product the best way to use this is after foundation but before powder. I always find that when applying creams on top of powder, they can go patchy. This one, when applied didn't crease or fade either and stayed on all day.
I really liked the glow that this one gave my cheeks. I didn't use it on my lips but it is definitely a color I would wear as lipstick.
I really liked these products and think they are great. I don't usually wear natural colors, but I do like a nude lipstick when I do a dramatic eye look. The Lipstick was £24.00, Lip Liner £16.00 and Beach Stick £30.00.
I recently got my makeup done at the new Charlotte Tilbury counter that has opened in John Lewis, Cardiff. The look I went for was the Glamour Muse and is a very dramatic look. Perfect for those who love something that stands out. The lipstick I went for is called Velvet Underground and is from Charlotte's K.I.S.S.I.N.G. lipsticks. I've tried the Matte Revolution ones before and decided to try the other lipsticks that the brand offers.

Velvet Underground is a bright pink and unlike the Matte Revolution ones, these have a creamy texture to them and have a bit of a shine to them. They have that same amount of amazing pigment that the matte ones do and glide on the lips nice and smooth.
The interesting thing about these ones is the secret ingredient called The Lipstick Tree. It's basically an anti oxidant that protects lips from UV damage and pollution. Great for the summer.
If you love your pinks, this color will be perfect for you. It also does a really good job of staying on your lips for most of the day too.
Glastonberry is a berry colored lipstick from Charlotte Tilbury and one of her Matte Revolution Lipsticks. I have a few of these already and think the quality is superb. Doesn't the gold packaging look amazing.
The pigments in these lipsticks are just insane and even though it is a matte it doesn't have that really drying feel to it, that some mattes can have. This one glides on the lips nice and smooth and builds up for really intense color. Once on it did a really good job of staying on all day and didn't really need reapplying.
I like to wear this color when having purple eyeshadow or when I go neutral on the eyes. I do love a stand out lip color and this one is perfect.
The Glamour Muse is another one of Charlotte Tilbury's Luxury Palettes. I have a few of these already and think that they are amazing. They have colors to suit everyone and the quality is fantastic. The Glamour Muse has 4 purple toned colors in it and is great for people like me who love something dramatic.
These palettes are color coded, making it really easy for you to create one unique look. I used the pale color as a base and applied the second color all over the lid. I then blended the darker color into the outer corners and put the sparkly purple on top. The pigments are really intense and have a nice soft workable texture to them. You don't need to use a lot to get the color showing and the pigments allow for easy blending. Once on, the colors stayed on and didn't crease or fade.
This palette isn't one for those who like their eye makeup natural. If you love your purples, this palette is perfect for you. Out of all the looks at Charlotte Tilbury this one has to be my favorite.
Charlotte Tilbury make the most amazing eyeshadow quads. The other week I got my makeup done at the new counter that has recently opened in John Lewis, Cardiff and decided to go for the Rock Chick look. I really liked the eyeshadow so I went for the palette which shares it's name with the look itself - The Rock Chick.
This palette has 4 colors in it, all in silvery gray shades. Each color is color coded on the back allowing you to create one unique look.
I used the lightest gray as a base, applied the second color all over the eye and then blended the darkest color into the outer eye. I then dusted the sparkly color on top.
These colors are very pigmented and have a nice soft texture to them. You don't need to use a lot to get the color to show up either and they allow for easy blending too.
You can go very dramatic with this palette and is perfect for people like me who love to show off their eye makeup. Once on, the colors stayed on all day and didn't crease or fade. These palettes are definitely worth checking out and they do a good range of colors to suit everyone.

The other day I got my makeup done at the brand new Charlotte Tilbury counter that has opened up in John Lewis in Cardiff. The blusher that was used on me on my makeover was one of Charlotte's Cheek To Chic blushers in the color First Love.
The blusher has two different shades in it, when blended together it comes out as a peachy brown. The inner color is a matte rose brown while the outer color is a shimmery peach. The best way to use this is to swish the outer color up on the cheek bone. You then go in with the middle color and put it on the apple of the cheek. I personally like to swirl my brush into the two colors at once to get one blended color. There is no set way of using this product and either way works really well.
The pigment in this blusher is just insane, you don't need to use a lot to get the color to show up. With one application you can get your blusher looking very intense. It is best to gently put your brush into the color as it is very easy to build up, but it can be quite tricky to tone down over applied blusher.
This one is a really amazing color and gave my cheeks a really nice glow. The texture is extremely soft and blends out nicely. Once on it didn't fade and stayed on all day.
The Dolce Vita Luxury Palette by Charlotte Tilbury is this eyeshadow quad of these lovely brown shaded colors. When I was in London last week I made a visit to the Charlotte Tilbury counter in Harrods. I really like the counter in Harrods as it's usually less busier than the one in Selfridges. I've tried Charlotte's eyeshadows before and they are amazing. They come in awesome packaging and in a range of different colors. The Dolce Vita is a great palette with colors that really stand out. It's a really wearable palette too, and even those who like natural colors will like using this one. This was £38.00.
In the look I created I used all 4 colors together. I used the palest one as a base and as an under brow highlighter. I then applied the lightest brown on top of the base and applied the dark brown on top of that. The glittery brown I used to blend in the outer corners.
This can be really built up to create something very dramatic. I guess for those of you who like something more natural you could just lightly apply the paler two colors. Either way both looks would look fab, plus the texture is nice and velvety too.
Once on, the colors stay on all day and don't crease or fade. My favorite color out of the 3 is the glittery brown.
I've tried quite a bit of Charlotte Tilbury makeup before and have gotten on really well with it. The products are just amazing and there is something to suit everyone. I decided to try one of her blushers called Cheek To Chic. These are basically a swish and pop powder blusher. The color I got is called Love Is The Drug and is a shimmery pink. This was £30.00 in Harrods.
The pigments in this blusher are extremely intense, you don't need to use a lot to give your cheeks a lovely glow. To use, just swirl your brush in the two colors and then apply to your cheeks. The texture was so smooth I couldn't even feel this color going on and it doesn't even feel like I have any blusher on either.
I just loved the look this color gave my cheeks. It definitely suited my skin tone and stood out lots. Once you put this on you don't need to reapply as it doesn't fade.
I definitely think these are one of the best blushers I have tried. This is another fab product from Charlotte Tilbury.
