Let's talk about Charlotte Tilbury..

[shirleylin88]

I already have the Filmstar bronze & glow palette but looking into some of her other products.

Does anyone have any experiences they would like to share esp with her Light Wonder Foundation, her blush and the Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder? I'm interested in getting these three things but still on the fence about taking the plunge! 

Please let me know, many BTers opinions have helped me out on products before 😄 Thanks in advance!

Sorry about the large pictures and my messed up mani, but here are a couple more of the Norman Parkinson items.

Malday, I am eager to see you wear both the blush and lipstick.  I definitely want to hear your thoughts on the lipstick - if you can compare it to another brand's matte......if possible.

[malday]

I'll do a look with it tomorrow and update you guys 🙂 I haven't tried on the lipstick for more than an hour so I can't really compare it yet but I'll let you know!

[malday]

Update: I posted something in the WAYWT thread. GC, the CT mattes remind me a bit of the Bite matte crème lip crayons in that they're not 100% matte and not super drying. When you first put it on it seems like more of a satin finish but get progressively more matte as you wear it.

[greenchilli]

Thansk so much Malday!  You look beautiful in it...excellent red!

[malday]

Thank you gc!

[MK89]

Malday, how does the blush show up on you?

[malday]

It shows up as a nice warm pink flush without using a ton of product! 

[pixiedust2]

Have you tried it on your lips yet? I'm most curious about this as a lip stain. 

[malday]

Not yet, I just got it in the mail today and was already wearing lipstick but I'll update when I do 🙂

[pixiedust2]

Awesome! Thank you.

Skintester had recently posted about a new Filmstar highlight/sculpt duo in darker shades from CT.

Reallyree has reviewd the item and posted swatches.  It looks much better on her website.  I will definitely look at this when Nordies starts carrying it.

[greenchilli]

I just received the Norman Parkinson Highlighter - I approve!

It has no glitter.  If you like a very showy highlighter - this is not for you.  The compact calls it an "Illuminator" and I agree.  You can use this as a subtle highlighter, or even a light all over illuminator on some occassions.

Both you and Malday killing me 😉 I don't think I want any until you post pictures here. I will be low buy until Nov so each month I can get 2-3 items the most. I save July for Guerlain goodies and TF trio. I guess I have to wait to haul these when they hit Nordstrom/Beautylish 😉 in Aug/Sept?

[pixiedust2]

I know, right? I had totally talked myself out of this collection until I saw these pictures. I really want the cheek/lip stain, mostly for the amazing compact. But i realized it wasn't in my budget. Now I'm clammoring for it all over again 😞

[pixiedust2]

That compact is much larger than I anticipated. And the lack of sparkle is really making me want this. Thanks so much for the pics!

[Gwenhwyfar]

Ohhh. I have long admired the image on the top of the compact. Knowing that the powder is lovely and non-sparkly too will make this hard to resist... Unless it's sold out, then I'll have no problem. 😉

[greenchilli]

haha!  I don't believe it is sold out.  It is only on her site at the moment.  Not sure when it will be in stores.

I typically don't care for CT packaging at all.  I find it very 90s Estee Lauder.  But this compact is gorgeous!

I wish the Guerlain Sun tan enhancer bronzer thingy was in a similar packaging.  A metal tin with some weight.  Instead they had it in white plastic.  Sigh.  At least it is a great product and will last until teh aliens come...

[lipstick4soul]

Is the packaging of this compact metal or the typical gold plastic on some the other products? Did they do anything special with the box?

[greenchilli]

It is definitely not plastic.  I had to go back and check to make sure that I was certain what it was.  It doesn't "ting" like a metal, so maybe it is some kind of amalgum.

It looks good though.

[lipstick4soul]

I caved and bought this, the cream blush and the small makeup bag but haven't received them yet.
