IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50 +

ONE product does SEVEN tasks, for me that's MAGICAL! I love being able to streamline my morning routine and this product does all of those steps from prime, to hydrate, brighten, correct discoloration, fight wrinkles and protect against sun damage plus it's the first time I have had a product that is light enough in color that I can wear it without having to feel like I'm wearing a Kabuki mask and with the SPF of 50 I'm amazed to find that IT just blends right into these products and stay perfectly all day as long as I'm not going swimming,a rarity for me, in which case I would have to re-apply my magical coat again. I have never really been a sun worshipper so putting on a product with a FULL SPF 50 is heaven sent by the angels of porcelain skin. Now the only other issue is to keep this product from my husband who is ALWAYS in search of his PERFECT SPF 50, and this would be it, in spite of the light color that he would blend it and make use of one step I can skip, which is discoloration, so with that step he would be even happier to find a product with all seven steps and especially SPF 50 which he often applies as he drives, to his hands and wrists, his face he has treated inside the house. So I'm betting he will order the "light" color when I order my full size "fair". This product is a true winner so don't pass it by especially with the economical price and seven sins taken care of by the seven products that cure them! I'm very picky about any kind of coverage and this one is smooth as silk yet covers my tiny lines without it making me feel like anything is covering my face except for my first BB cream that actually makes my skin glow from within!

BY TERRY Cellularose Blush Glace Hydra-Radiance Aqua Blush 4 Ice Dream

I have had many products from BY TERRY so when I saw the Cellararose Blush Glace Hydra-Radiance Aqua Blush 4 Ice Dream I had to have it. The name reminded me of my favorite dessert, ice cream. Frozen Petal Blush much like the same consistency of the blush which is a great deal like a water color on my face so it's very easily build-able to waterever density I want! I am usually pretty happy with it being a sheer looking flush that has a rose toned gold gel/cream that I truly adore because it smells of roses which I adore and it makes the product worth every cent it cost which is very little because it takes very little to swipe my finger over my cheeks to make the color pop over the area of my face that I have swiped to use to make my very fair skin have a heathy glow of "extracurriculars" since I had grown up on a horse farm I often went up in the barn hay stack to have a romp without anyone catching me with my boy friend since we knew the workings of the Thoroughbred horse farm having both grown up on on them. The most fun was going to Churchill Downs to Oaks Day and the day next day, the KYDerby, to the biggest two days in racing all dressed up for the two biggest days in racing in Churchill Downs. So if I had the BY TERRY product back then I would have looked much better than my powders I had to use in my teens that mostly blocked my lovely complexion so I simply stopped using any blush whatsoever and just let the sun do the trick of coloring my face back then but atleast my face looked normal back then when most young women wore no makeup unless they had bad skin which was not my issue. So BY TERRY would have been all the rave back in those days to make us look flushed but heathy.

Koh Gen Do Manifanshi Silky Moist Foundation Compact Case. #112

As soon as I saw the silky moist Foundation Compact Case in color #112 I felt sure the color would be perfect on my pale skin that I use with the thin sponge that I dampen slightly to impart a thin layer of color on my skin and I was correct that the color is absolutely " Dead on" and the sponge is easily cleaned with a Japanese liquid soap that suds up and in a few seconds is immaculately clean! Between the color for my skin and the sudsy soap you can't get a better duet so I'm thrilled!

Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon Champagne Diamonds

I had to have this eye shadow pencil because it was written up as a way to "cheat my way to intense, bedazzling [blue] eye color!" So BAM that was a given for me to amp up my eyes so that other women would ask if I'm wearing blue contact lens? And I loved the fact that I knew my eyes were my own color with the magic of the color imparted from this color morphing eye shadow pencil which I simply used with my pinky to apply to my lids and with a tight line of dark pearl, also by Charlotte Tilbury to tight line on my upper lid and a tiny amount on my lowers to set off the champagne color sparkling on my lids. I really felt I had the perfect combination once I managed to get the Brow Pencil in light brown to highlight my brows for both the day and into the night and frame my face to perfection. So if you're not on board with these eye products you're missing out on the best new products I have tried in years that make me happy and I'm VERY PICKY so you can take it from my candor to try the magic of these chameleon sticks. Either get on board or lose the ride and be left behind. BRAVO CHARLOTTE FOR GREAT EYE PRODUCTS FAR ABOVE THE FREY.!!!

Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon Black Diamonds

I was extremely interested in these colour morphng products which makes my bluish/grey eyes look absolutely outstandingly BLUE, so much so I have had several woman ask if I'm wearing cosmetic contact lenses. Now that's what I call FUN! I love it when other women think my lashes are fake or my eye color is via a plastic colored concave disc. The quality of this pencil is superb. It's not too hard and not too soft so it will last and not need to be sharpened too often. I tight line the black naturally sparkly gemstone and with a flick of my tiny pinky I blend the edge except for a little flip on my far side to mirror a cat eye. This pencil works so well my cat eye is perfectly done with absolutely no trouble whatsoever. Now that's close to magic, I don't know too many eye product that could do that so easily! If you haven't tried either the black diamonds or the champagne diamonds you're truly missing out on exceptional products that are unlike anyone else's! So get on board and skip the riff raff because your pay off will be feeling great about your eyes and thus your face.

The Wonder of Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow

After reading about this product, I requested a sample of Wonderglow be sent from Beautylish and was blown away with how lovely it looked on my skin. It was magical and not too terribly expensive considering what it did for my skin. I absolutely had to have it and was glad it wasn't back-ordered like most of the best products usually are. So tally ho with the credit card and on with a few more products for a decent order and I was so looking forward to my Wonderglow. I had used other products like this or so they said but once they were on they looked caked or did NOTHING for me so this product is heaven sent. It's luminescent and has shimmer, both of which I adore plus it's the right color for my very pale skin so it doesn't make me look like I got into Pocahontas' make up! And that's been a real battle for me having gone through at least six products that compete directly with Wonderglow. I think I might have missed a few but not many and I'm pleased as punch not to have to go down any other roads with other brands of Illuminators/Core light diffusers. So If you have't tried this have the girls send you a little containers which will last a few nights out or days if you prefer and see what you think because I'll bet you'll be thrilled with Wonderglow and it just might make you feel like WonderWoman.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Magic

Well if you have Lip Love you have to have Lip Magic to fix up the tiny bit of lip moisture that you lose by using Lip Love to remove the dead skin from your lips to make them perfect for Lip Magic to get your lips to 100% moist even during nasty cold winters. So buy the two if you can get them both if not buy what you can and put your name on the list for a text message for probably Lip Love since it's out of product most often. But if you're patient you will get it just a week or two later. The two products are like a lock and key they work together so don't go cheap on your lips because they will let you know they are not happy but if you buy both your lips will be smooth and silky and make you and your mate happy plus if you use the products at night the scent is lovely, they have a honey scent that is absolutely deliciously pleasing! I have used so many product on my poor lips that having THESE that REALLY work is so very exciting that I have tweeted to the world and hope many women get my message so that they can have lovely lips like mine, even at 61 years old.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Love Honey Scrub

I can absolutely understand why Lip Love has a hard time staying in stock, it's one of the only products I have EVER used that keeps me from biting the dry/dead skin off my lips, which happen to occur all winter long and often in the summer if it's hot and my skin gets dry. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PRODUCT and so will you if you can get some for your lips. I do highly recommend buying the other half of this set: the Lip Magic, which is the most healing balm for lips. The two products come in a cute duet, one of which you see above, but they are the best of so so so many products I have tried to break my horrible habit of biting my lips, which makes my husband crazy enough to scream at me because he's an Oncology RN who knows how bad sticking my usually unclean fingers after rubbing our luxurious long haired cat and then putting them into my lips to press them against my teeth to get the dead skin ripped off is and was in the nights of the pasted, as we watched TV together, before Lip Love and Lip Magic came on my scene so I no longer do that bad habit; I now have nice plump lips with soft kissable coverings(skin) and at 61 that's quite a feat to behold. So if you're close to a lip biter STOP IT with the help of Charlotte TIlbury's two little lip product and end up with lovely lips instead. You'll be happier and so will your mate!

Love the name, "Bitch Perfect" but the Charlotte Tilbury Coachella Coral is Purrrfect

I looked at all the colors and since I could only buy two I skipped the "Bitch Perfect", with the great name, and bough the Coachella Coral which I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Plus the color stays put and is just great on my light colored, almost Opalescent skin, so I'm glad I bought this perfect color for almost anyone. I really can see it on any skin color so if you have the quandary of which color to buy this is IT! Many of the light colors just don't really show up that well, so stay clear of them, unless you just want to have a slight color on your lips but if you want some zip on your lips choose this one and I would also highly recommend "Velvet Underground" those are the two I chose and I'm so please I did! :>)

Charlotte TIlbury Bitch Perfect LIpstick

This is the first of the Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks that I tried and I love the texture and the amount of time they stay on. This color is a bit light for me because I need a brighter shade to make my light skin look healthier. But I am very happy with the product. It's one of the best lipsticks I have ever used in terms of not pulling my skin as I apply it and the staying power. I would not call it a stain, just a full coverage lipstick.
