Beauty Product Reviews

Sophisticated

Yet another holy grail product by Charlotte Tilbury; lux and sophisticated! I’ve never been disappointed by anything in this line... and every time I hold off on a product, I wonder why I waited.

Holy sh!t...

Got it because of Beautylish's layaway/enabler plan.

I mean $80 bucks for a quad, really?

Tom Ford charges it; and yes, the hype is legit and real. The shadows, while dupeable in shades... the formula - stands alone from its supreme qualities. No fallout, kickback, or any of what one believes to be the general norm for eyeshadows; will be no less than astounded by this formula.

It is chic to the nth degree. A sliver of insight into what those with limitless resources have access to... still, as fabulous as it is, I won't fall into the trap of unbridled lust to own every piece of this line.

Does one need this Tom Ford $80 eye palette in nude dip? No.

Should one want this Tom Ford $80 eye palette in nude dip? Yes. And a very breathy one at that.

Gorgeous!

I ordered this as a substitute while waiting Bond Girl and Walk of Shame to be restocked; I already had Very Victoria and knew that I wanted more, if not all (which I am in the process of doing).

The colour is as described, a beautiful rose petal shade - and while indeed matte - the colour is by no means, flat but strangely enough... a touch dimensional? As well as extremely comfortable and long lasting, with zero patchiness. One swipe leaves my lips evenly covered and perfectly accentuated.

The bullet is a squared off tip with a delicious vanilla scent, that together makes the application one that is truly a sensual experience. It's a wonderful juxtaposition to my preferred look of dewy clean skin and bold defined brows.

Thank you Charlotte darling!

Meh

Natasha Denona's eye shadows in particular have been highly hyped by various beauty guru blogs/vids. My first impressions are that while the pigment is indeed strong; It's no more so than my favourites including, but not limited to... Charlotte Tilbury, Urban Decay, Becca, Kat Von D, or even some Wet&Wild shadows I have swatched for example - especially given the considerable cost of her 5 shadow palette alone. As a result, I will keep my ND shadow collection to this one alone unfortunately as I had higher hopes that were only made so due to respected beauty gurus opinions I enjoy and or respect.

On a side note; The Body Glow oth, is gorgeous and is exactly as I hoped - a quick drying oil/cream hybrid that imports an amazing ethereal sheen... LOVE!

As with everything in life, makeup is extremely personal in nature regarding our unique needs and desires however; I could not (in good conscience) recommend her palettes to those that are contemplating purchase based only on its current trended hype as quality and price are no longer mutually exclusive.

Hope this is helpful
