Let's talk about Charlotte Tilbury..

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!

@Sunnysmom  I still have some of those BB pots.  They were like putty, but had enough silicone in them to spread easily, at least the ones I have do.  I'm kind of afraid to try these though.  Even using an eye primer makes my eyes red for a day after removing my makeup, so this would probably not be good.

[Sunnysmom]

I need to look also @Ispend2much6 . Pretty sure I have 1 as well. I feel like mine dried out though it’s been awhile since I looked at them. Agree on the primer too. The state of my fragile eyelids make any of these probably unworkable sadly. Something more gentle with a bit more slip underneath would have to work for me like a Nars stick or Trinny pot. I’ll go look at them but probably have to pass which is a shame. The idea seems good as I like a good cream shadow as you do. Maybe we will be happily surprised when we hear how Tracey likes them. 😊

@Sunnysmom It sounds like the formulation is overall somewhat dry and difficult to blend or work with and that it's lacking in pigmentation.

[Sunnysmom]

Hmm @TraceyEB , good info. Not sure what I think now, how about you?!

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, to my oily eyelids, this sounds like a product that might apply without the need for eye primer and has longevity without creasing; on the other hand, it doesn't sound very exciting to have and use. The stiffness reminds me of BB matte cream eyeshadow sticks that haven't been used for a while and can feel tight on the eyelids unless warmed. Am still going to try the formula.

[Sunnysmom]

Yes maybe so @TraceyEB . I have one of those matte eye sticks as well and here it sits. Ugh. I probably won’t try one yet. Love to hear your thoughts when you do though. 🥰

Early Access Announced - New Matte Eyes to Mesmerise

 

[Ispend2much6]

@TraceyEB   I guess I'd better start reading her emails!  These look great.  I wonder if I won't have a reaction to these like the other formula.  @Sunnysmom   Are you going to try one?

[Sunnysmom]

I may @Ispend2much6 @TraceyEB ! It is exciting if the ingredients have changed and we may not have reactions as with the other shimmers. Nice you don’t TraceyEB. I don’t have any issues with her powder quads. ( On a sep note I am just trying the new IT crayon as well. It does have some soft shimmer so it may not work. Will see. )

[TraceyEB]

@Ispend2much6, the ingredient list appears to be different than the original Eyes to Mesmerise, so hopefully you won't have a bad reaction to the matte version! Ingredient list for each formula is in the spoiler box. I'm definitely trying them. CT cream eyeshadows work really well for me.

@TraceyEB  You are a doll!  Thank you- I think you're right.  This is very exciting!

[TraceyEB]

@Ispend2much6, yay! Fingers crossed!!

[Sunnysmom]

Thanks @TraceyEB ! These look subtle and soft! 

[TraceyEB]

@Sunnysmom, that's a lovely way to describe them! Thought of you when I saw that there were cool tones! 💃

[Sunnysmom]

Yes it’s nice to see both warms and cools @TraceyEB ! Have to check these out! 🥰

[KateGreen]

I have noticed using CT foundation or the flawless powder that it shows lines that I never even knew I had. I have tried all different ways applying it and still looks horrible. Does anyone else have this issue with CT

[TraceyEB]

@KateGreen, that has not been my experience. I have maturing skin and find CT Flawless Foundation and the new Beautiful Skin Foundation blur my fine lines; Light Wonder didn't accentuate them. I've had no issue with the Airbrush Pressed Powder. I'm sorry that CT foundations and pressed powder don't seem to work for you.

[Sunnysmom]

Picked up 2 of the new lips. Walk of a Star is sooo pretty. Like a cooler Walk of No Shame. Love it. And K Romance is gorgeous , more pinky fuchsia than past LE of hers vs red. Did not pick up Only Muse as it was very warm pumpkin shade almost. @Ispend2much6 you may like Walk of a Star, maybe you got it too! 🥰

Walk of a Star, K Romance

@Sunnysmom   Looks like I ordered the right one. 😉  Thanks for the tag!

[Sunnysmom]

Ha that’s great @Ispend2much6 ! I bet it’ll be really nice on you. 💞
