Hello darlings.
How are we all doing? How are you spending your lock down? We've been doing house reservations and work on the garden, or at least trying with a toddler and newborn! I've also been more inspired to write blog posts, so hopefully you will see a few more from me from now on. I've also noticed my follower count has gone up by quite a few, hello everyone! Thank you for following.
Can you believe i'd never tried anything from Charlotte Tilbury, i know a blogger crime. But i have always thought its quite expensive and that maybe its overrated? But the products look so luxurious i really wanted to try something! I thought a good item to start with would be the famous Pillow Talk lipstick as everyone and their mother seems to have it and enjoy it. The perfect nude that suits all, or so it claims... When i saw they now had a travel sized version that also came with the lip liner with the same name that was only £20 i thought it would be a good way to test it out before buying full size.

I ordered the travel sized as it was £20 for both the lip liner and lipstick, which is a pretty good deal as on its own the full size lipstick is £25 and the lip liner is £17 which would set you back £42 for the pair. Another reason i chose the travel sized was because how often do you finish a lipstick and liner? Plus it will be good to keep in my handbag, especially smaller bags for nights/ dinners out. Remember those?
The packing is beautiful, really luxurious. The lipstick is very old Hollywood glam which i love. Considering i purchased the mini i'm glad it has the same packaging as the full size. The lipstick scent is a subtle vanilla which is quite nice, reminds me of the Mac lipsticks.
The formula of the lip liner is really nice, very creamy and easy to apply. The pigment is really good. The swatch on my hand lasted all day which was impressive. It also feels very comfortable on the lips.
The lipstick is just as creamy with good colour pay off although it sheer at first can be built up and lasts a long time on the lips. It feels much more dry on, i know its matte but i have other matte lipsticks that are a little more comfortable. Its not very uncomfortable but you can feel it on your lips, but over a lip balm its much nicer. But by putting it over lip balm makes it not as long lasting.
The shade is a pretty pinky nude colour, its more pink than i was expecting. I had read it was suppose to be a universal 'your lips but better'. I looked at swatches online and was expecting more of a nude than a pink, but none the less its pretty and it makes it a little different that my million other nude lipsticks! (Its more pink on the lips than it looks her on my hand.) The lip liner is slightly darker more what i was expecting.
I spent i think the minimum you could on the website but i still got to choose 2 samples which was really good. I chose the Full Fat Lashes Mascara and Lipstick samples which i am excited to try!
Overall i'm happy i purchased this little mini set but i wouldn't buy the full size lipstick, after using these samples i might see if there is a colour a little better suited to me. But i really like the lip liner and once its used up i'll look to buying it full size.
You can buy the set here
I'd love to know have you tried this lipstick and lip liner?
