Some items on my beauty radar this week, I hope everyone is having a great week so far. It’s almost Friday 🙂
These come in 6 shades and the darker shades Bloom Berry 4, Fig Fiction 5 and Toffee Cream 6 and look absolutely stunning, I think a trip to Barneys is in order soon (see Mandarina Pulp and the lighter/brighter colors swatched here)
Many of you have asked for recommendations on clear makeup bags, these Small Clarity Clutches by One Truffle look chic, sleek and absolutely adorable (they’ve been added to my wish list)
3. Charlotte Tilbury Beauty
The line is launching in the US in September, I have my eye on so many things from her line since I’ve fallen in love with the Filmstar Bronze & Glow, I placed an order from Charlottetilbury.com because I couldn’t wait to try some items, I’m loving the look of her Beach Sticks.
This Christian Louboutin nail polish has been on my radar for a while, I couldn’t justify the $50 price tag on a nail polish, but so many lovely readers from Europe and the US have been emailing me with raves and also requests to review, I caved and ordered, will report when it arrives.
5. Lash Growth Serums
I’ve had my eye on several lash serums on the market and I personally know several girls who have use Latisse and Neulash and they have lashes that are seriously to die for, I’m going to try one soon.
This sounds intriguing with it’s multi-purpose benefits, have you tried this before? It’s supposed to be a makeup remover and lash moisturizer that helps them grow.
This looks like an exquisite classic palette, I’ve splurged on quite a few eyeshadow palettes already this fall, I’ll have to investigate in person to see if it’s unique enough to buy, but the colors look perfect for an everyday polished look.
8. NARS Audacious Lipstick Collection
NARS will be releasing 40 shades lipstick to celebrate their 20th Anniversary in the Audacious Lipstick Collection, colors will include a full range of provocative hues from neutral nudes to striking reds and bold pinks, housed in a modern, matte-black metallic case with a magnetic closure, launching on Narscosmetics.com on September 1st (10 of the shades will be exclusive to Barneys).
9. J.Crew Ceramic Tray
J.Crew has a new Gold/Ivory Ceramic Jewelry Tray which looks gorgeous for storing small accessories and trinkets. I have these in previously released patterns and they make nice accents for the home.
As fall collections and new product releases trickle in, what’s on your radar? As beauty fans in the US wait for Charlotte Tilbury’s beauty line to arrive I’m living vicariously through UK girls and their swatches. If you’ve tried the line please tell me what your favorites are. For lashes, do you have any favorite lash treatments or serums?
For Charlotte Tilbury you must MUST try the Chameleon Eye Pencils – I have 5 of them and am impatiently awaiting the US launch so I can finish off collecting them. My only woe about them is that they aren't self-sharpening! They are absolutely gorgeous though.
Wow 5?! They sound incredible. I wish more pencils were self sharpening these days too. I'll definitely have to check them out. Thanks for the rec 🙂
Hi Sabrina:
I was in my local Sephora today (Toronto, Canada) and noted a new product from Shu Uemura, it's called Brow Ink. It's in a small tube and looks like liquid liner…but for brows! It comes in 4 shades. I've looked around the net but see little to no info…must have just come out? It looks very cool. Love your picks…I have that little tray from J.Crew in cream & orange.
Cheers, Lisa

Ooooh, interesting! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I love those Jcrew trays, the orange one is gorgeous!
Next to Latisse, Rapid Lash has done wonders (and I have stubby straight Asian eyelashes) for me!

Thanks Alyson, I'll look into Rapid Lash 🙂
I have Red Louboutin on my hands and toes at the moment. The most perfect red since Chanel London Bus Red and worth every penny. I can't see me every using any other shade of red again……it's utterly perfect.
OMG I need it now!
Wooow this is the best endorsement I've seen for this.
Those clear makeup bags look great. I love separating my bits & bobs in this kind of thing & these look the business. That eyeshadow trio is pretty & my ideal colours

I recently ordered the Truffle clutch and love it, great for travel and definitely sturdier than a zip top plastic bag! I found the Kate Sommervile eye makeup remover to be completely ineffective at removing mascara or eyeliner. I’ve tried it on both rinse off and waterproof, in the end I used another cleaner to completely wipe makeup away. I’ve told myself over and over 30$ is the max for a nail polish, but after seeing swatches of the new Louboutin on Café Makeup I caved. I placed an order on Charlotte Tilbury about a month ago (wasn’t aware it was coming to the US), and have loved every item purchased…especially the Colour Chameleon pencils for brown eyes; her makeup bag is pretty cute too! On my radar is the new Tom Ford fall collection eye quad, contouring cheek color duo and polish.
Thank you so much for the input on the KS – you saved me $$$. I agree Cafe Makeup's swatches are absolutely divine.
I want that Louboutin polish so baddd, my wallet is crying 🙁

Hi Sabrina,
Kate Somerville true lash is a waste of money. Spend it on sth else…I just ordered the Chantecaille 15th Anniversary eye palette from NM, Nordstrom has a est. ship date of 8/8. I swatched it in the store, it is very smooth, but not as pigmented as the Chanel…hope you are having a good day 🙂
Thanks for the input on the KS – I knew I could rely on my readers to give me the 411. I'll have to investigate on the Chantecaille some more – thanks for the initial impressions!
I want everything Charlotte Tilbury (already have Bronze & Glow) and Tom Ford Fall quad!
I need that TF Quad as well 🙂 I've been stalking the web for it. LOL.
Really want a tinted baume de rose, a red one would be so handy when my lips get dry in winter x

I cannot wait for the NARS lipstick launch – how exciting! xx

Sabrina, Sabrina you must try RapidLash! I use it on my brows and lash line and the results are fantastic. Used it daily for 3 years now. My makeup is Chanel, Tom Ford and Giorgio Armani mostly, but I have loved Charlotte Tibury's Rock N Roll Kohl liners. Always used Chanel eyeliners but no more. The pencils are amazing and last easily for 6 months. Beautiful textures, colors and they stay put (I am oily/combo skin). I have tried her quads, nice pigment but very similar to TF, so I prefer to stick with his. Her mascara is good but the black is not as deep as Chanel le Volume. I usually only wear Giorgio Armani or Chanel for Mascara. Still CT pencils are incredible and a stand out product. I have noticed you are getting into skincare of late, which is GREAT, ya gotta lol. I thoroughly recommend Biologique Recherche. I dumped Chanel and La Prairie skincare for that line and my skin is crazy sexy now hehe. 🙂
Thanks Kimberly, I will check out the Rapid Lash 🙂 Thanks for the thoughts on Charlotte Tilbury's line, it sounds amazing and since I'm a huge TF fan as well, I really appreciate the comparisons. I'll look into the skincare you mentioned as well 🙂
I love the palette, the little animal imprints are so, so cute.

I spent a small fortune ordering Charlotte TIlbury from the UK, I think if I were to do it again, I'd definitely go with her blush. I also love her eye pencils.
Btw, is the tinted By Terry has the same formula as the regular Baume de Rose? Have you compared/contrast the ingredients? Thanks for the swatches & thoughts on this.
Hi Claire, I threw away the box before I could compare, but I'm planning an order for some of the other shades and will be sure to keep the box for comparison.
I also spent a small fortune ordering CT online from the UK lol. The things we do for beauty.
I'm so envious that you were able to order from Charlotte Tilbury.com. For some reason, it won't accept my Nordstrom Visa. I registered with Verify by Visa and even that didn't work. I guess I will just have to be patient and wait for it to launch at Nordstrom. I just hope the limited edition vintage set and beach sticks come stateside.
Hi Anahita, you know I've had trouble ordering from UK sites as well with a number of cards. There is always some security alert that prevents me from ordering. You might want to try paypal as another option which is what I used and it went through just fine.
Sometimes trying a different browser works too. I couldn't order anything from Smythson (even the US site) because they are based in the UK. I ended up processing an order over the phone.
Good luck trying!
If you are having trouble using your credit card at a UK site (I have had the problem) you can call the bank (in this case Nordstrom) and they can put a flag on your account that will allow your card to be authorized by the site. Banks have a system for identifying potential fraud that excludes some international sites. If you make your bank aware of it they can authorize you to purchase from that site. You may have to call every time you make a purchase. I would place your order and go through the process and then when the purchase is declined call your bank so they can look up the transaction and fix it so you can use the card.
Can't wait for your Charlotte Tilbury reviews! And I do hope you order the Chantecaille palette so I can live vicariously through your swatches 🙂
NARS lipsticks are to die for!
Oh that Chantecaille palette is just so pretty! I'm definitely curious about the new NARS lipsticks too – love the packaging!
I really can't wait for the NARS lipsticks, they all sound so so amazing.
I'm dying for the NARS lipsticks and the J.Crew tray! Love both of them!!!
Lots of love, xx

I have several of the Truffle pouches and they are top notch. My clear bag for travel (my 3-1-1) is the Makeup Forever Crystal Pouch "small" size. It's about 6×9? maybe.
neulash is the BEST! It saved my lashed from the horrible aftermath of extensions and now I just use it to keep them full and supple- they hit my glasses they are so long!
neuLASH is amazing, I love my lashes!!
The one item I am really waiting for is the Tom Ford eye quad in Nude Dip. While the new NARS lipsticks and the Chantecaille palette look intriguing, I will wait to check them out in person before I decide whether to purchase or not. I'm also looking for a medium to full coverage foundation, so I'm hoping I can find a good match in the new Tom Ford foundation.
I really want the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Beach Sticks look amazing. I want to try everything by CT.
Thank you for this delightful post xx
