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!

Thanks for the swatches. I'm still undecided about Between the Sheets...looks like a pretty light fresh pink but still think it might be too light for me. Kiss Chase looks awesome though...should work for lots of skintones.

[virgo87]

They both look beautiful on you. I have been debating whether or not to get Between the Sheets but I am not sure how good it will look on me.

[Seymore3]

I got Between the Sheets but seeing this made me want Kiss Chase too.

[lachaton]

I picked up both of these two - they do look really nice on you! I'll try to remember to swatch mine later, because I was pleasantly surprised by both. 

[Grahamcrackers]

Lachaton, in your opinion does Kiss Chase compare to TF Pussycat? They reminded me of each other in your pic of Pussycat but would love to hear your thoughts - we have a similar skin tone!

[lachaton]

Good eye! Kiss Chase has a similar look as Pussycat does on me. However, they are still very different! Pussycat is more mauve (and matte) with purple, whereas Kiss Chase is rosier and has more shine. But I thought of Pussycat when I first tried it on 🙂 

They're different enough that I'm super happy to have both. 

I have a photo of Kiss Chase, so I'll try to post it soon so you can compare.

Lovely pinks!

[Grahamcrackers]

Oooh, I ordered this duo too! My first CT purchase. I'm encouraged by how amazing they look on you - ehh, but what doesn't. (;

[AnneMCC]

It was magnetic before (so I heard) but the packaging was defective and the gold bar actually fell out of the box! So I think the 'new packaging' just means it's not defective. I have one on the way..

[greenchilli]

The Gold Bar has been re-released because it has been re-formulated.  There was a lot of negative feedback about the texture and quality of the product itself.

Now as far as Charlotte Tilbury packaging:

I am not a fan at all.  I have a lipstick and a concealer whose caps stopped fitting properly soon after opening it.   When I spoke to my Nordies SA about it, she said that this was not the first time she heard that. 

I liked the Norman Parkinson collection packaging - it was pretty and functional.

[Libellules]

Sounds the same to me! I mean...is it larger than the last one? I'm interested to hear about the actual pigmentation/payoff. I heard it was light, but I got absolutely 0 when I tried wearing it. Couldn't see anything (but I'm pretty pale lmao)

[Libellules]

I know alot of people complained about the size and packaging - but I pretty much got exactly what I was expecting (the Dior highlighters are HUGE by comparison. So is Moodlight). But if it doesn't actually show up on the skin? I couldn't keep it :/.

[lipstick4soul]

I got an email from Beautylish that Bar of Gold is going live tomorrow. 

[kay634]

Hey! Does anybody have swatch comparisons of the Bar of Gold highlighter vs the highlight shade in the Filmstar Bronze and Glow? 

Unfortunately there's not CT counter near me, and I couldn't find comparison swatches online! 😞 

[kay634]

Nevermind! Found a video that compares swatches of it for those interested! 

On youtube search: Charlotte Tilbury Film Star Bronze & Glow - Bar of Gold Review 

and the swatches are at around the 3 minute mark! 

Screenshot from the video: 

Bar of Gold is first followed by the Bronze and Glow!

[AnneMCC]

Oh cool! I hope I don't talk myself out of needing both of these haha

[AnneMCC]

I just pm'd you. I'm sure Jonathan can swatch those for you 😉 I would like to see that comparison too. Good idea!

[AnneMCC]

I can't decide if I should grab it on CT or get it as planned from my SA at Nordstrom. They're getting it very soon but it will be in a set with eye chameleon and wonder glow...decisions. I always feel bad if I dish out on my SA's 😕

[lipstick4soul]

I would be inclined to get it from CT if that's really the only item you want in the set. If you let your SA know before it is released, I'm sure she'd be fine with it so she can sell it to someone else. In my experience, most good SA's would rather you be happy and buy consistently and won't hold it against you. 

[AnneMCC]

That's a good point. I was loyal with the first one too and he wasn't able to send it to me. Well I just placed my CT order. I might end up with 2 if I feel too guilty to cancel on him.

Here's a fun little tidbit if you are going to order at CT-

I had one gold bar in my cart and automatically got 2 samples. Either they are giving away 4 or I ended up with 4 because what happened is I thought my cart contents were gone because I stepped away from the computer. I added another gold bar, 2 samples and ended up with 2 gold bars and 4 samples. I removed one gold bar and all 4 samples stayed in my cart 😉

[lachaton]

I think it's a glitch on their website. The same thing happened to me a couple months ago. 

It it seems like if you add samples to your cart and walk away.... As long as the items in your cart aren't deleted, it might allow you to add more samples. It's odd. 

I ended up with 4 and they all arrived with my order 🙂
