Charlotte Tilbury Haul

Yep.  I did it.  I bought some Charlotte Tilbury stuff that was on my wish list.  And I'm glad I did.



I bought the Filmstar Bronze & Glow, a Cheek to Chic Blusher, and a K.I.S.S.I.N.G. lipstick.


The Filmstar Bronze & Glow packaging is a as gorgeous as everyone says.


It has a little star on the corner of the mirror.


I ended up choosing the shade Love Glow for the Cheek to Chic blush, rather than Love is the Drug.  I tend to be kind of heavy handed with blush, and I was afraid Love is the Drug was going to be too bright, so I opted for Love Glow which looked similar in undertone, but less bright pink.


I bought 'K.I.S.S.I.N.G' Lipstick in Bitch Perfect.

"Charlotte Tilbury" is etched into the metal.

Swatches:

from left: Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Bitch Perfect and Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk

So, the Film Star Bronze & Glow is some magic stuff.  The first time I put it on, I actually said out loud "holy cheekbones!"  I kid you not.  I have never felt that way when I use NYX Taupe blush or Too Faced Milk Chocolate bronzer (the two products I usually use to contour).

Here's the result the first time I used the Filmstar Bronze & Glow.  I may have gone a little crazy with the highlighter.  I dunno.  I still like how it looks.  Full post on the look coming soon.

If you have been considering buying the Filmstar Bronze & Glow (and, more importantly, if you have the funds), I have some advice for you.  BUY IT.  NOW.  How's that for some obnoxious enabling?

Hey, how do you like my background for these pics?


You guys know how obsessed I am with dragons.
