Charlotte Tilbury Very Victoria & Bond Girl Matte Revolution Lipsticks

I finally got my hands on this two lipsticks I've been wanting for so long. There are 10 shades available that are suited for different skin tones and looks, I got Very Victoria and Bond Girl. The packaging is the same as the K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipsticks. The bullets are square shaped which was designed to match the classic shape of a lip brush. These Matte Revolution lipsticks are very pigmented, long lasting, and it doesn't settle into the fine lines. There is a hint of vanilla scent but its not too over powering.

Very Victoria- Its inspired by Victoria Beckham, its a neutral nude shade with a matte finish. I've had this lipstick in my makeup bag ever since I got it love a good nude lipstick. The texture is unlike any other its soft and velvety smooth. Its very lightweight and I got a good 5-6 hours of wear.

Bond Girl- Its a beautiful warm rosy berryish shade with a matte finish. This shade for me is great for everyday wear, This lipstick is one of those lipsticks you can just wear without a full face makeup on. The texture is just like Very Victoria really comfortable on the lips. I got a good 6 hours of wear.

Overall
I'm already a big fan of the K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipsticks but these are even better cause they are matte but not drying! I'm really impressed with the formula its really creamy and hydrating its enriched with lipstick tree extract which protects the lips and orchid extract which soothes and hydrates the lips. The shades in the Matte Revolution range is a little on the darker side and I think they are dupable but it all comes down to that amazing velvety formula and you can't beat that. I definitely give these Matte Revolution lipsticks a thumbs up and I've got my eyes on three other shades which I plan on getting soon. Yes, I'm kind of obsessed with these lipsticks they are that good!

Fall Lipstick Series: VOL 1

Hi there, so fall is right around the corner which is why I decided to start a Fall Lipstick Series. I will share my picks which will change in every 7 to 10 days. I have a bad habit once I like a lipstick I use that for weeks and weeks meanwhile all my other lipsticks are being neglected. I decided to rotate my lipsticks so this way I put all my lipsticks to use. I hope you guys enjoy this series and I hope this inspires you to do the same. This week I picked out 3 Mac Cosmetics lipsticks Up The Amp, Mystical ( LE), & Acai ( LE) .

Sephora Lucky Penny & Hollywood's Calling Colorful Eyeshadow

Few months ago I was just browsing through products in Sephora and I came across these gorgeous eyeshadows, I don't know why I didn't notice them before. The packaging is very simple the eyeshadows have Sephora symbol embossing on it, you can take the pan out and create a palette which I plan on doing with a Zpalette in the future. Sephora Colorful Eyeshadows comes in 4 different finishes matte, shimmer, glitter, and mirror. These eyeshadows are quite big in size wise also there are 75 different shades you can choose from.

Lucky Penny- Its a beautiful light copper shade with a metallic finish. The texture is smooth, all though its packed with glitter and shimmer I didn't notice any fallout. Its very pigmented and lasted about 9 hours without any fading.

Sephora Hollywood's Calling Colorful Eyeshadow

Hollywood's Calling- Its a warm golden brown shade with a metallic finish. I love this shade its the perfect eyeshadow for a shimmery brown smokey eye look. Its very pigmented the texture is silky smooth and there was no fallout. I got a good 9 hours of wear without any fading.

Overall
These eyeshadows can be used dry and wet as you can see the eyeshadows are highly pigmented specially when you foil them. Sephora Colorful Eyeshadows( mirror finish ) reminded me of Mac Cosmetics Pressed Pigment eyeshadows but its more pigmented and very inexpensive than the Mac pressed pigments. I'm really impressed with the quality they perform really well its blendable, long lasting, almost creamy even though its a powder eyeshadow. I feel like we don't pay much attention to Sephora collection but after I fell in love with the SEPHORA AIRBRUSH FOUNDATION I'm more open to this brand. Please let me know in a comment below if you have any recommendation for me.

Tom Ford Moodlight is a Limited Edition highlighter. Its cased in a traditional Tom Ford glossy mahogany color mirrored compact and the powders have TF embossing on it. The formula is creamy, smooth, very soft, and blendable. These Illuminating Powder Duos can be layered. I got a good 9 hours of wear.

Daylight- Its a pale opalescent white gold shade with a soft sheen. Its very finely milled, this shade gives me a very subtle glow. I don't use this shade much on its own but when I do, I apply this on my cupids bow, the inner corner of my eyes and brow bone.

Candlelight- Its a warm peachy rose gold shade with a metallic finish. I love this one, its also very finely milled and there is no chunky glitters in sight. I find Candlelight a bit more pigmented than Daylight. Candlelight looks a little dark in the pan but don't let that scare you once its on the skin it just melts and gives you the best gorgeous radiant glow ever. I love using Candlelight as a blush topper.

 I don't have any dupes for Daylight cause I don't usually purchase pale white gold highlighter. On this picture I swatched Candlelight and as you can see Becca Opal is more gold and Mac Soft & Gentle is a beige frosty shade.


Overall
I wish they'd add this Illuminating Powder Duo to the permanent TF collection like they did with the NUDEDIP Palette. I love the gelee formula and the silky smooth texture. Another thing I love about this highlighter that it doesn't emphasize on my large pores. I honestly can't rave enough about this Illuminating Powder Duo its a must have. Its currently sold out online but I would suggest checking the nearest Tom Ford counter, Nordstrom, or Bloomingdales.

Charlotte Tilbury X Norman Parkinson Colour Of Youth Healthy, Happy Lip & Cheek Glow

“Wenda…offered to my camera a quiet beauty that does not look so out of date today. Girls change, clothes change, but beauty itself, in whatever form it is viewed, is sealed there forever – it is frozen, it is permanent and it does not age.” Norman Parkinson

I picked up only one item from the Charlotte Tilbury X Norman Parkinson Collection and it is the gorgeous Colour Of Youth Lip & Cheek Glow. Norman Parkinson is a famous photographer who worked with a lot of well known brands and Hollywood actresses, models etc. The photo on the packaging is Norman Parkinson's wife Wenda Parkinson who was a model and an actress. This lip & cheek glow is packaged in a beautiful rose gold mirrored compact.

Color Of Youth is described as a rosy hue, its a beautiful warm coral pink. The consistency feels like gel it glides on the skin and blends easily. It is very pigmented, lightweight, and hydrating. I used my finger to apply this on to my cheeks, it doesn't dry down it gives a dewy natural flushed look. I took this with me during my recent vacation it was extremely hot and humid there and I got a good 4-5 hours of wear before it started fading. I used it on my lips too I liked how it felt on my lips very hydrating but it lasted only for two hours.

Overall
I love the vintage packaging also its very travel friendly however its not very long lasting. I love Charlotte Tilbury Beauty line but this is definitely not on my CT favorite products list. I love the shade and the texture I just wish it lasted a little longer. Did you pick up this Lip & Cheek Glow? What are your thoughts on this products please let me know on a comment below.
