Felt like a declutter bag of goodies
I was not planning to purchase a lucky bag this year. I saw that they didn't sell out right away and grab one. The XL bag this year had a CT Light Magic cream, the most expensive item in the bag with an expiration date of 10/24! Next, an eye mask, a small Viseart eye shadow palette, a GW lipstick, lip balm, and a eye cream that I can't use due to one ingredient. The best part was the SG brush. Not much make up this year :(
Just OK!
I bought his palette a few months ago and I expected to be blown away by all the claims and the price. However, this palette is just OK. Pigmentation is decent, but there is very little difference between wet or dry application. Typically, when eyeshadows are applied wet the color payoff is stronger and more vibrant, not with this palette. There is no scent listed on the ingredients list, but this palette has a strong almost sweet smell that I do not like very much.
Made my lips look and feel like the desert.
My least favorite Charlotte Tilbury product so far. The packaging is nothing special. This lipstick skipped and dragged across my lips. It accumulated on the my lip creases making my lips look dry and patchy. I did not find the formula hydrating at all either. The shade is pretty; somewhat matte with some shimmer.
This palette is very pretty and the color payoff is great. Compared to other Charlotte Tilbury palettes, this palette is a lot smaller (0.10 oz). The packaging is not much different from the non-limited edition ones. For this price, I expected more than just stars on the cover of the palette. I own a Burberry limited edition palette that cost less, comes with a velvet pouch and some brushes.
These mini lipstick charms are very cute and the packaging is adorable. Each tiny lipstick is about 0.04 ounces. The total weight of the three charms equal the size of a full-size lipstick (0.12 oz.), however the price is higher than an individual full-size lipstick. I bought this set for two reasons. I wanted to try different colors and I like the packaging. Aside from size and cost, the product is nice. It is comfortable to wear and the pigmentation is good.
I have being using this brushes for a few months and this collection feels incomplete to me. The brushes have nice soft hairs and I like the small handles since my hands are also small. Brush 01 is good but not my favorite when it comes to applying foundation. I like Brush 02 for applying powder underneath the eye area, but my brush has some shedding issues. Brushes 03, 04, 05, and 06 are great blending brushes. Even though Brush 07 can be use on the eyes to apply gel or powder eyeliner, it irritates my eyes and I only use it for lipstick. I love the precision of Brush 08. I feel like this collection is missing a flat shader brush. Color can be build up using the blending brushes, but I don't get the intensity that I want.
This brush is soft but not the softest brush I own. I find the price to be reasonable for the quality of this product. I haven't experienced any shedding, but I did have some color bleeding when I first washed this brush.
