Here is how the packaging looks,

It has a very old time glamour, vintage look about it, I was expecting the compacts to feel heavy but they are actually quite lightweight.
I'll begin with the eyes today and review the rest of the items I bought within the next few weeks.

The Uptown Girl Luxury palette (£38) contains a very shimmery peachy gold champagne, shimmery mauve taupe, satin finish smoky mix of grey/mauve and a pink opalescence glitter shade. The glitter shade has a slightly dryer feel (typical of glitter overlay finishes) but the other shades are very smooth, soft and silky. The glitter shade adheres extremely well and you can really get a high impact look, rather than just a few sparkles here and there. They all blend beautifully, the colours work so well together and they have a good wear time (though I think a primer gets the best from them).

Its just a beautiful palette, I really like that you can wear it for a more daytime friendly look or dial it up for some drama.

There is one mascara in the range, Full Fat lashes (£22). It comes in a glossy black colour. It has a slightly dryer feel/look but not quite along the lines of a typical Lancome or YSL.

It gives a bit of lift and good length and thickness, without any flaking or smudges. Another bonus is that you can apply multiply coats without it clumping. I think this is a great overall dramatic mascara and it is one of the few mascara that I would re-buy.

Lastly I got the classic eye liner in the shade Audrey (£16). Its a deep neutral brown. I'm not typically a fan of pencil eye liners as I find them difficult to apply, however this has a really easy to work with consistency, it doesn't tug yet is not so soft that it smudges all over the place, I can get a even line with it and it has a good level of pigment. A good staple to have in your collection.

I'm extremely pleased with these, given Charlotte's knowledge/experience there was always going to be a high expectation on this range so I am glad that it doesn't disappoint.
The range is currently available from Selfridges (international shipping available), net-a-porter.com and charlottetilbury.com
I bought all these items from charlottetilbury.com
Thanks so much for your review. I am trying to resist since I know that this light shade is too shimmery (frosty?) for my taste and if I get it I will end up not wearing it but curiosity is getting the best of me and it gets harder to resist everyday, especially after reviews like yours ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Sara,
DeleteThe lighter shade is very shimmery, I bet you would really rock the golden goddess palette, I think you would really love the texture of these shadows, that's me not helping you to resist :)
xx
Hi Clare, thanks for the idea, Golden Goddess palette really is up my alley, you are right :-) I was wondering, have you seen it in person and how was the base color? Shimmery/metallic or rather satin?
DeleteHi Sara,
DeleteI've not seen in person unfortunately so was just going by what I have seen online thus far, I do think uptown girl looks like one of the more shimmery out of them all, though apart from sophiticate I thought all the base colours looked like they contain some form of shimmer. I think a lot more reviews will start turning up so perhaps hold fire until then :)
I bought the uptown girl set, too. I'm pretty much in love with everything and can't wait to order more!
ReplyDeleteHi Kat,
DeleteI am writing a big list for my next order as well, think I need at least a few more of the shadow quads, also want to try the brushes :)
Oh my god, lucky girl! You got some amazing items, but then again, this whole line is lovely, just like you mentioned! I already have a couple of items on my wishlist - currently trying to be sensible with my spending, otherwise, this line would have made me broke! Xx
ReplyDeleteHi Tina,
Deletewell I think that's my makeup budget blown for this month, I need to be more sensible :) I've got quite a few more things on my wishlist as I've not been disappointed from anything in the range that I have bought so far :)
These look very lovely, I like the colours you've picked. The eyeliner in particular looks like a really good brown.
ReplyDeleteHi Meeta,
DeleteThe liner has a really nice tone to it, deep browns can often pull red on me so this was a nice surprise, I really want to try the gel pencil liners as well, as they looked really intense in the videos

Hopefully, they will ship to Singapore soon.
ReplyDeleteSo want to try this line.
I would think they would start shipping internationally very soon as there certainly seems to be the demand for the line :)
DeleteThis line is intriguing. I doubt it will come to the US but I do hope they will ship here. I hope you'll have the eyeshadow crayons to review, what I've seen of those makes me want them.
ReplyDeleteHi Marcia,
DeleteI do have the crayons on my list to get :) I think there would be quite a lot from this line that you would really like, the more I am using the products the more I want to buy! :)
Beautiful haul you have there Clare. The eye shadow palette has very wearable shades and certainly looks great on you. I can't wait to see you review the other products.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jacqueline :) I am really loving this line so far x
DeleteTaupe!
ReplyDelete:)a good taupe is always a winner.
