Crosspost of new Charlotte Tilbury Lip and Cheek sticks. They feel very smooth, good pigment with some shimmer and less tack than Dior’s version.( Dior is beautiful for a more subtle version with no shimmer.) While Dior’s last decently on me especially if layered with a powder blush over them, CT’s lasted longer throughout the day both on their own or layered. Be very careful taking them out of the case as they are not secured in the bottom at first. Click them in quickly as you can and definitely open from the top! A few of mine were smudged at the top both from mail and in-store purchase. 

In-store swatches in best lighting I could grab. 😊 Every color is sooo pretty!

Thanks for the warning on the CT packaging, @Sunnysmom! The colors look pretty. I’d have to be light handed - it looks like they come out of the tube brightly.

I read it somewhere and it’s really too bad @curlychiquita . They’re probably going to get too many returns because of it. 😕 This was 2 swipes probably, but they do blend easily and cute on the lips too.

thanks for the swatches @Sunnysmom !

They’re a very nice formula @makeitup305 !

I’ve been obsessed with the new YSL MAKE ME BLUSH 24H BUILDABLE BLURRING POWDER BLUSH in shade 44 Nude Lavalliere it’s a shimmery dusty pink! It’s absolutely stunning. It blends perfectly and gives just the right amount of color. Yves Saint Laurent Make Me Blush 24H Buildable Powder Blush  @jemly

I was curious how the YSL Spicy Berry blush compared to the newer Lancôme Berry Bisou blush if anyone else wanted to see them. The YSL is considered a satin formula and the Lancôme is also very silky. Tho pretty the YSL settled into my pores a bit more and looked a little bit less vibrant, almost duller on me anyway. The Lancôme didn’t at all vs just blending very smoothly and easily and is just brighter with more red in it vs purple I think and more subtly flattering, blurring. More of a good glow to it whereas the YSL almost appears matte no matter what I used underneath or over it. I prefer and love the other YSL shades I have though and I can make it work but again just prefer the other I think! Just fyi for anyone looking for pretty berries. 😊

YSL on top looks better here lol

Thank you for sharing this! I’m always looking for the perfect glowy blush! Your written review is amazing too.

[Sunnysmom]

Thank you kindly @saire ! These are both beautiful options! Me too! Bring on the glow right?! 

[Ispend2much6]

@Sunnysmom  Thanks for the swatches!  I agree with everything you said about Spicy Berry.  The BB looks pretty!

[Sunnysmom]

I’m sure it works for some @Ispend2much6 , but not so much for me! Lol. Yes, you’d probably love the Lancôme berry. Did you get any of their new blush or powders? Beautiful finish to them! 

[Ispend2much6]

@SunnysmomNo, I haven't.  Maybe someday.

[Titian06]

Thanks, @Sunnysmom !  The Lancome looks more flattering than the YSL.

[Sunnysmom]

It seems to be I think @Titian06 though I adore the YSL blushes! The new Lancôme is really such a good formula I am still shocked I guess! Glad to see it for them! 

[Titian06]

@Sunnysmom - I stopped by Ulta today.  They had the Lancome blushes, but not the berry blush--not even a spot for it.  I was very disappointed I couldn't swatch the color.  I did swatch a couple of the other colors.  These blushes are soft and smooth.  Maybe, one day, I'll buy one. 🤗

[Sunnysmom]

Oh no @Titian06 , shoot! That happens to me so often too! Glad you could see the others. They really are a lovely formula.

I stopped by Sephora inside Kohl's and swatched HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Color Fuse Talc-Free Blush Powder With Fermented Arnica Pomelo Peach  (in the middle).  When I got home, I swatched the original version (on the right).  You can see the original is more pink and the new is more orange/peach.

The color on the left is HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Color Fuse Talc-Free Blush Powder With Fermented Arnica French Rosette  .
