Charlotte Tilbury Eyes To Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow Mona Lisa

Charlotte Tilbury recently launched 6 new cream eyeshadows. I purchased the shade called Mona Lisa cause that's my name ha ha but on a serious note this shade is what I would create if I were to ever create a eyeshadow. CT Mona Lisa cream shadow is a beautiful chocolate bronze shade with multi color shimmers. Its housed in a small sturdy glass jar with a twist cap. The texture is silky smooth feels very light and blends really well reminds me of Tom Ford Cream Shadows( Review Here). This cream shadow is very pigmented and a little goes a long way. The shadows can be layered or sheered out I love how well it performs when layered. I use my fingers to apply the shadow then blend out the edges with a eyeshadow brush.

I don't have any dupes of this eyeshadow maybe in powder form but nothing in cream form. CT Mona Lisa reminded me of Mac Constructivist paint pot this is the closest dupe I could come up with shade wise. Mac Paint pots dries down to almost like a matte finish and the cream shadows has that illuminating sheen to it so when it comes to the texture its not quiet the perfect dupe.

I applied Too Faced Shadow Insurance then applied the CT Mona Lisa cream shadow on my lids and I lightly blended out the edges with a Mac 217 brush. It went on like butter and it literally took me 2 min to finish the eye look. I got a good 8 hours of wear and didn't notice any fading or creasing.


Overall
I'm really impressed with the Charlotte Tilbury Cream Shadow its very easy to wear and it doesn't require a lot of blending work. I feel like CT cream shadows are comparable to Tom Ford cream shadow in consistency wise. However I would like to point out that CT shadows are cheaper than TF cream shadows, CT cream shadow contains 0.24 fl. oz for $32.00 USD and TF shadow contains 0.21 fl oz for $42.00 USD. I love the TF cream shadows but CT wins with the price and amount of the product we get. I'm definitely purchasing a few more of these shadows.

Tom Ford Description
TOM FORD CREAM CHEEK COLOR INSTANTLY BRIGHTENS THE FACE FOR A HEALTHY GLOW AND A NATURAL BURST OF COLOR. THE PEARLIZED PEACH-PINK SHADE GIVES CHEEKS GORGEOUS LUSTER AND A STUNNING RADIANT FINISH. PACKAGED IN AN IVORY - AND GOLD-COLORED TOM FORD COMPACT.

I wasn't planning on getting this blush cause I'm not a big fan of cream blushes but after seeing some swatches I decided to give it a go. The packaging is absolutely beautiful the compact is very small it fits in the palm of my hands which makes this blush very travel friendly. I tend to stay away from cream blushes cause I have large pores and I feel like cream blushes emphasizes them a lot. This blush does what it says it gives you that natural flush of color with a effortless glow without emphasizing your pores. I use my fingers to apply this blush, this blush can be layered specially if you have medium tan skin tone like me. I think on lighter skin the true color will show up more but this blush looks more of a highlighter on me than a traditional blush. It comes off like a peachy gold shade with a hint of pink depending on the lighting. I have oily combination skin my cheeks are dry so I didn't have problem with the blush being really dewy and glowy, so if you have oily skin do keep in mind throughout the day it will stay dewy. I got a good 6-7 hours of wear before it started fading.

When I swatched Pink Sand I immediately thought of Nars Orgasm blush which is a powder blush and it has more gold shimmer in it than Pink Sand. Its not an exact dupe but I swatched them side by side so you'd get an better idea of the colors. 

Overall

I love this blush I've been using it non stop ever since I received it I would love to get a backup but I'm undecided due to the price. There is one thing I don't like about this blush is the sticky texture other than that I love this blush. If you want that luminous glow for this summer Tom Ford got you covered with Pink Sand Cream Cheek Color which is now available in stores and online.

Overall
Honestly when I took the survey I didn't choose carefully so I wont blame them for the bracelet which I didn't like but it was a mistake on my end. I did the survey again and this time I choose things carefully that I would personally wear on a daily basis. I wear statement earrings occasionally but I love small earrings for everyday wear so the earrings gets a thumbs up. I have a similar necklace like the one I received so it wasn't that exciting once again mistake on my part since I choose it when I took the survey. I hope next time I get a Gorjana cuff Ive been eyeing the Isla and the Twist cuff now I would buy those pieces without a blink. Another great thing about RocksBox is the shipping its pre paid both ways which sounds like a good deal to me.  I have a coupon code "makeupwithmonaxoxo" with this code you get your first box for free.

Disclaimer I was invited to become a "It Girl" I received this box for review purposes and as always I gave my honest opinion.

Tom Ford Lip Sheers are back so is the beautiful white and gold summer packaging. Two of the Lip Sheers Paradiso and Sweet Spot are repromotes from last years lipstick collection. I skipped last years lipstick collection cause I wasn't a big fan of glossy lipsticks back then but after I fell in love with the Chanel Rouge Coco Shines I decided to give these a try.

Tom Ford Summer 2015 Lip Color Sheer

Skinny Dip- Its a warm metallic peachy nude shade with beautiful gold glitter.

Rose Soleil- Its a beautiful shimmery plum, I love how this lipstick sparkles due to the gold glitter.

Sweet Spot- Its a peachy coral shade there is some shimmer in it but it doesn't show up on the lips. 

Paradiso- Its a gorgeous bright pink there is no shimmer in this lipstick and its very pigmented for a sheer lipstick.

Tom Ford Summer 2015 Lip Color Sheer

All four are lip sheers but they have different finishes Paradiso & Sweet Spot both are more of a cream finish. Rose Soleil & Skinny Dip both are a metallic shimmery sheer wash of color. I love the glossy finish they glides on like a butter and there is a Vanilla scent but its not very over powering. I got a little over 3 hours of wear so keep in mind these are not very long lasting. To my surprise I love Rose Soleil and Paradiso out of all four lip sheers. 

Overall

All though I love TF beauty products I must admit these lip sheers are quiet pricey. I also noticed when I applied them they kind of melts to the touch hope I'm explaining it right so because of the texture I feel like I could go through these tubes really fast. If I have to choose one of them out of four I would have to go for Rose Soleil. Specially if you have tan olive skin tone like me check out Rose Soleil its truly a beautiful shade. This collection is now available in stores so if you're interested be sure to check them out soon since all four Lip Sheers are Limited Edition.

I finally got my hands on the Tom Ford Soleil Collection I'm still waiting for one more item. I did skip the body oil and the bronzers. The bronzers are part of the permanent line its just packaged in a white compact with gold trimmings. Paradiso and Sweet Spot both are repromotes I skipped last year lipstick collection now I'm regretting it after playing with these two lipsticks. Im a big fan of neutral shades but I have to skip Naked Bronze and Black oyster. The cream that comes with Naked Bronze its Spice Cream Shadow (Review)  which I already own and I skipped Black Oyster cause it seemed dupable. I will start with the lipsticks first swatches and review will be up soon. What did you purchase from this collection? Please leave a comment below I would love to know your picks from this collection.
