Darling, you're going to hypnotize the world with these #charlottetilbury looks!
The fairy glow godmother that is Charlotte Tilbury just launched a new collection, properly titled THE ICONS, for eyes to electrify & lips to lead astray.
In typical CT fashion, even the box that encapsulated the product was luxurious. The thick, rich burgundy box was so pleasing to open- I almost didn't want to ruin the sticker that sealed it!
Quickly getting over my sticker fear, I gently opened the crisp tissue paper and was very pleased with the contents. Her packaging never ceases to excite, and I was immediately impressed with how cool the eyes and lips looked, while still remaining extremely lavish. There is something so opulent about CT products that also remains quite rocker chic and classy.
The packaging combined with the true quality of her products and her casual, yet elegant attitude is why I believe the brand is so successful. Like, you want her to do your makeup because she's THAT person. I’m willing to bet that Charlotte can make you feel like a million bucks with just her accent and sheer talent alone.
I mean, have you watched her instagram application videos?
The collection offers 6 shades of one of her latest products, Latex Love. These retail for $34 each and have 0.13 oz/ 3.8 mL of product. They are scented like most high end makeup products, with a floral smell & taste.
From the brand:
What it is: A lacquered and intensely-pigmented liquid lipstick with a lip-hugging effect to enhance the look of lips and coat them with a brilliant, mirror-like shine.
What Else You Need to Know: Each shade is rich in emollient oils that help to create the high-shine of a gloss with a fluid, super-soft texture. The gelled system and silicone polymers intensify the luscious, creamy-soft feel on the lips.
These have 1 swipe pigmentation and stay true to their name, i.e. they really do look like reflective latex on your lips. The Latex Love lip glosses have an extremely high shine, yet extremely extensive staying power. I was really impressed with how easily they applied with the soft, pointed applicator. These are really fun for the summer (looking @ you, Studio 64) and I'm really looking forward to wearing them.
I swatched them in various lighting situations, so you can see color variations. Enjoy!
Slides: Natural lighting indoors no sunlight. Indoors, flash. Natural lighting indoors, sunlight. Direct sunlight.
Next up is brand new THE ICON eyeshadow palette, described as a limited-edition, 12-shade palette with four intensely-pigmented, electric eye looks to take you from day to date to diva to disco.
This retails for $65.
From the brand:
Inspired by the spotlights, rock stars, and dancers Charlotte partied with in Ibiza, these multicolored, multiuse eyeshadows glide across eyes, lips, and cheeks like silk-satin, molten light. The rich textures can be used wet as well as dry. Pop them on with a wet brush for a divine, super-smooth, silk finish with beautiful color.
This Palette Contains: - 12 x Eyeshadows in Day Eyes Prime (light white), Day Eyes Enhance (amber honey), Day Eyes Smoke (scarlet), Date Eyes Prime (gold), Date Eyes Enhance (antique), Date Eyes Smoke (gold bronze), Diva Eyes Prime (champagne), Diva Eyes Enhance (burnt gold), Diva Eyes Smoke (rich auburn), Disco Eyes Prime (green), Disco Eyes Enhance (blue), Disco Eyes Smoke (black)
The palette also includes a clear labeled insert, guiding you to create looks with each shadow color. There are 4 different use scenarios: Day Eyes, Date Eyes, Diva Eyes and Disco Eyes.
I find this extremely helpful and love that there are only 3 shadows required to create a complete eye look.
Fellow lazy eyeshadow people, raise your hand.
I photographed the palette both indoors in natural lighting and with the flash on, so you can really see those gorgeous shimmers dazzle off the light.
Are you into this collection? I can't wait to swatch these lip glosses for instagram!
