Very blendable

I had heard about the texture of these being good, but unusual, so when we got them in, I had to try them. They're like nothing I've ever felt before. They look kind of like a loose pigment, but then when you touch the product, the whole pot responds, more the way a gel might.

I used a brush at first, and then tried applying with my fingers. The finger technique worked great (plus it was really cool feeling to touch it!). A lot of pigment was deposited on my lid and then I was able to move it around using a brush.

I chose Champagne and then did the corners in Mistress. The two shades blended together super easily—almost like they blended themselves. I get very impatient with blending, so I loved how effortlessly they came together. These would be great for anybody, but especially people who are only so-so at doing their eye makeup because they blend so beautifully, even if you don't have the best technique.

Beautiful!

This oil is gorgeous! It's a very dry oil, so it absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling moisturized and soft. It's not rose scented—it's rose infused, so all the delicious rose smell comes directly from the flower. Terry grows her own roses so they have a particular smell as well as specific beneficial properties. Everything she does is with the highest quality ingredients. The Huile de Rose is absolutely excellent.

Love this cleanser

This is one of my favorite cleansers. It doesn't sting the eyes, so its good for eye makeup removal and feels good when you rub it in (I follow the suggested facial massage).

The things that separate it for me from other products are the last two steps of the recommended cleansing technique. After I've rubbed it into the skin, I take a washcloth and put it under hot water. Then, I cover my entire face (with product still on it) with the cloth. The heat from the washcloth releases the herbal aromatics, which to me, smell wonderful. They're not perfumey, they're herbal which tend to be a little more earthy.

Once I've steamed (sometimes I repeat that step a couple times) I then run the washcloth under very cold water and then use that to remove any product on my face. The cold feels refreshing and helps to close up the pores.

So easy!

I LOOOOVE Champagne Diamonds. It is probably my most-worn makeup item right now. When I'm traveling, when I only have a few moments, or when I know I'll be crying (eg. a funeral) and don't want a lot of makeup but still want to have something, this is the one I reach for.

The sparkles make your eyes look awake and pretty and the color is light enough that you don't have to be exact with your application. The formula lasts all day. If there is any creasing (sometimes there's a little) I just make sure to check it periodically and tap it out—no biggie.

For me, it has just the right amount of sparkle. I love it for that! Gold pencils (and shadows in general) don't show up great on my skin tone unless they have a bit of glitter to them. But even though its glitter, it still feels adult.

I know I'm going to use this one down to the end and will purchase it a second time.

Obsessed with pencils!

Lately I've been traveling a lot and I've become obsessed with pencils! So Nudestix have become a staple of my travel kit. I mostly use the concealer and the lip & cheek pencils. The Lip & Cheeks all have a great, creamy consistency. They work as nice no-makeup-makeup lip colors and cheek colors. I particularly like them for cheek because they blend in so well. The added bonus is that I can carry one pencil and eliminate lipstick, lip liner, blush and the brush to put the blush on! It makes traveling light much simpler.

Hot hot hot!

Wow! Hot Lips are amazing! This is my first of their lipsticks and I'm totally in love. I put it on and the color was beautiful—strong and solid, but still subtle. Rose Violet has a dusty-rose quality that's really beautiful. It reads as both bright and soft which is a hard combination to find. Often, bright colors tend to read really vampy, but this one is more pretty.

The formula is a dream, very creamy and long-lasting. It's a liquid lipstick, so it has a creamier feeling than a regular lipstick going on, but then it settles into a powdery texture after a few min. which keeps it in place.

I like the smell too. it's not quite a berry but that's the best way I can describe it. Excited to try the other colors now!

Beautiful!

I've been excited to try the ByTerry Baume de Rose ever since I first heard about it and it's lived up to its reputation!

My lips tend to be dry and suffer from daily lipstick use. I'm also concerned about aging around the lips, since this is one of the first areas to show texture.

The Baume de Rose goes on smoothly and feels deeply nourishing. I use it at night and first thing in the morning. I like to extend it a little bit beyond my lips to help repair the skin around the edges. After using it a few times, I definitely see a big improvement along the lip line. It's removed any fine lines that were starting to show. It also has a shine to it, so it can be worn as a gloss.

I need lip balm in my life but am very picky. I want something that will nourish and not contain any harsh ingredients. This one is beautiful and has returned moisture and plumpness to my lips. Worth the money!

So easy!

The Color Chameleons are one of my new favorites! They are so easy to apply and effortless to blend. The formula is super creamy so it glides on smoothly and can be blended out with a finger or a brush. After a few minutes, once its set, its there for the whole day without any creasing. The thing I love most is that I feel like I can just use this one thing and have a full eye look. No need for multiple colors, multiple brushes, etc. etc. It can either be really strong or blended out to be pretty sheer.

Some of the colors have glitter, some do not. Across the Color Chameleons there are a variety of finishes, so look at skin swatches to figure out which is the right one for you.

Gorgeous formula!

Everything Charlotte makes just makes me want more! I wore this beautiful cherry red last night for a party and fell so in love with it, it makes me want all of her lipsticks. The color was stunning, a really fresh cherry red, and it went on super smooth. I used it with a Lip Cheat and Lip Lustre for the full Charlotte Tilbury effect. It lasted for the full length of the party (several hours) without needing a touch up and without moving! Next I want to try Bitch Perfect or Penelope Pink, I can't decide!

Helps you look awake!

The Eye Cheat is a great way to look awake! It has a natural color (as opposed to a white pencil, which can look a little stark) and really helps open up the eyes. Especially if combined with a little smokiness around the top and bottom lash line. I've been using it with a Color Chameleon eyeshadow pencil (in Dark Pearl) and the combo is super quick to apply and really beautiful.
