All the products I bought are variants of pinky naturals with a touch of warmth.
I opted for the lipstick named Bitch Perfect (£23), I'd say it has
a semi matte finish. Its pigment heavy, and applies smoothly with
a creamy texture, it does not bleed at all and has a really good
wear time. The downsides for me is the heavy feel and though I
don't find it drying its not hydrating either.
The Lip Cheat liner in Pink Venus (£16) is slightly deeper in tone
than the lipstick but they still work well together. It has a
smooth texture that glides on without any feathering. It looks natural and seems to just
meld in rather than looking like obvious liner. Again, its not all perfect as I find it
has a tacky feel and can look a bit drying if used all over.
The glosses are called Lip Lustres, Sweet Stiletto (£16.50) pairs
perfectly with the other lip shades I got, it has medium pigment
and a very high gloss finish and really does create a plumped up look. It has a good wear time for a gloss,
but again is quite heavy and has some tackiness.

I am very particular with my lip products and will always opt for
the lighter, hydrating lip formula's, so initially I wasn't keen
on these, but the performance has really won me round. Though I
don't feel like any of these fall into the moisturising category,
nor am I keen on the heavier, tacky texture, I have to give
praise to the flattering colours, coverage and impressive lasting
abilities
I bought these from charlottetilbury.com

What a beautiful trio of complimentary colours. I bet they look wonderful on you. Like you I prefer lighter textures but I need them to be creamy and moisturizing. So far my favs are still Burberry and my one and only Suqqu, they feel heavenly when applied.
ReplyDeleteI do love the Burberry lip mists, keep meaning to buy some more, and the Suqqu moist are lovely as well. Though the CT lip products aren't perfect for me I am tempted to pick some more up :)
DeleteThey are lovely colours. I had a quick play with a few items in the range last week although the counter was busy so I didn't have a proper look at the lip products. I definitely love the eyeliner in Audrey so I'm very tempted by that and the blushes which are also gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI am going to get some more blushers as well, I think its a really turned out range on the whole, the concealer is meant to be really good as well so thats next on my list :)
DeleteI love the coordination of colors. Do these have a fragrance? That is always my first question.
ReplyDeleteI've sat here and had a good smell of them all, I can't detect a fragrance in the pencil but the gloss has a slight fragrance, slightly sweet and the lipstick has the same sweetness but a bit stronger, though not overpowering (nothing along the lines of Edward Bess for example).
DeleteOh noo, no tackiness please, that's a huge issue for me when it comes to lipgloss! Though I doubt I can resist me some Charlotte Tilbury makeup at this point, I have my eyes set on Seduction lipgloss and I intend to get it, no matter what! Lol!
ReplyDeleteI like your determination :) Its not as tacky as a MAC gloss and I am very picky with how lip products feel so hopefully you will get on with it x
DeleteWe are back in agreement, Clare! ;) I did think these were nice but a bit heavy -- quite 'dated' feeling, in fact, and I wonder if it was an intentional part of CT's vintage boudoir aesthetic to make them feel like A Lip once worn?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad balance has now been restored as was worried for a moment there ;)
DeleteThat's interesting about the "dated" feel as I get what you mean, I do think that is what she was after in some respects, certainly seems to be echoed with the design of the products.
OOO great picks! These are so wearable, and I'm glad to hear the formulas work well! I need to take a look at the brand soon!
ReplyDeleteI've been really impressed with the brand so far, so definitely recommend it :)
Deletethese felt like mac lip products to me . the same opacity and heaviness .
ReplyDeletethe name of that lipstick rofl
There are parallels with MAC, though I find these a lot longer lasting.
DeleteYes, I wasn't sure what to make of the name, guess its one that you'd remember, though if someone asked what you were wearing might not want to say ;)
