Beauty Product Reviews
I've also noticed that because of its powder like formula, you don't want to rub your lips together right away like you normally would with a regular lipstick. I noticed that when I rub my lips together immediately after applying, it starts to rub off and kind of crumble in a weird way. I have to pat it into the lips and let it set completely. A little too much work for a lip product this expensive, just my opinion.
A bit drying
The formula of this product reminds me of the Charlotte Tilbury pocket pout lipstick in the sense that it goes on creamy and turns powder-like on the lips. The sponge applicator is nice but the brush I did not like because it applied the lipstick pretty streaky. I haven't tried applying it with my finger yet. The saying power was good but I found them to be a bit drying and clings to dryness on the lips. I got the shades "automatic" and "impulse". My favorite was definitely impulse because it's that perfect everyday mauvey nude color. Automatic is more of a browney nude which is also nice but the lightest shade in BOTH compacts is wayyy too light for me to use on its own. Both of the lighter shades in each compact are like concealer on my lips. For this reason, I'm on the fence about these products. They work amazing as advertised for that ombré effect but at this price point, I'd like to be able to use both shades individually and unfortunately I can't with these.
I can't say enough great things about this product.. It is my new everyday moisturizer.. It literally floods my face with moisture just as it claims and it leaves my skin looking dewy which is perfect for underneath full coverage foundations.. The packaging on this limited edition cream is gorgeous.. I absolutely love this product so when I saw 3x the amount of cream, I had to purchase this right away. It smells amazing also..
I almost returned this product but decided to keep it because I'm a makeup junkie.. I kept it mostly for the blush/lip shade.. It's the perfect mauve.. I use it mainly as lip color and not too much as a blush.. The eyeshadow creases really bad on my eyes.. I'll try to set it with an eyeshadow next time to see if it helps.. It's too pink to use as a cream highlighter on my skin tone.. The packaging is gorgeous and the mirror is big..
Perfect Everyday Color
I love everything Charlotte Tilbury. This lipstick is super cute. It's the perfect everyday pink shade similar to MAC's "Brave" perhaps.. I just wish it was a little bigger.. Much smaller than I expected but still great.. The design is super cute and the mirror is a nice addition as well.. I would definitely purchase others in different colors
