I’m back with another Charlotte Tilbury haul! She launched more products for the eyes with a new quad and two cream eyeshadows. Also I received so many requests to review the Super Lipsticks so I caved and ordered them to swatch and compare for you today. I ordered everything from Charlotte Tilbury online. Right now it looks like these items are exclusive to her website and I don’t know if she will launch them at other stores or counters.

I wasn’t able to shoot the eye looks as my camera died and I need to replace it. If you are interested in more eye looks let me know in the comments and I’ll try and update this post if you want more looks/photos. It’s been a terrible week with the tropical storm and some tech issues here!

In today’s post:

• Luxury Eye Palette in Fire Rose ($53)
• Eyes to Mesmerise in Sunset Rose ($32)
• Eyes to Mesmerise in Copper Sunrise ($32)
• Matte Revolution Lipstick in Super You ($34)
• KISSING Lipstick in Super Nude ($34)
• KISSING Lipstick in Super Starlet ($34)

Luxury Eye Palette in Fire Rose

Charlotte Tilbury’s new Luxury Eye Palette in Fire Rose is one of the prettiest ones I’ve seen this year. I like this one because it has only one reddish/plum shade and even though it’s warm, the rest of the palette pulls more neutral on my complexion. The colors are smooth and ultra pigmented. I think this is a winner for me!

Colors include a shimmery metallic pink, shimmery medium taupe plum brown, sparkling glitter champagne top coat and a matte plum-red-brown.

New Shades of Eyes to Mesmerise

I’m a huge fan of Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise cream shadows so I knew I had to have both of the new ones. Copper Sunrise is a shimmery warm soft coppery pink that isn’t too warm on my skin. Sunset Rose is a soft plum pink. Both smooth out to a medium luminous sheen. If blended the colors will sheer out more for a wash of color. I like to use these as bases for cream shadows or on lazy makeup days. You can layer for more color but in general they aren’t going to be super pigmented on the lids. On me they last well but I have dry lids so I don’t have oily lid issues.

Swatch comparisons next to a few other shades.

Super Lipsticks

Charlotte Tilbury launched three new lipsticks in a limited-edition packaging. The only thing different is the lid which has tiny jewels on the top. All three performed well true to her lipstick standards. I love her mattes because they’re not a flat matte. These have medium to full coverage and have impressive lasting power on me. I think her new colors are really flattering – I hope she considers adding them to her permanent lineup.

• Matte Revolution Lipstick in Super You is a neutral peachy nude
• KISSING Lipstick in Super Nude is sold out (I hope they restock) is a cool-toned medium nude pink
• KISSING Lipstick in Super Starlet is a muted red cream with full coverage

I swatched them below next to a few other neutrals. There are similarities to other colors but slight differences in the undertone.

All three on the face as I was able to swatch them on my lips with a different camera. I hope to get my replacement today! My foundation shade in Charlotte Tilbury is the Magic Foundation in Shade 7.

I think everything I hauled is a solid win. I really love the eyeshadow palette even though she seems to be launching so many. I love her Cream Shadows although I know many of you don’t like her formula – if you have oily lids they might not last long on your skin type. Her new shades of lipsticks are as good as many of you have said they were, however I do think they are dupeable.

If you’re shopping around for her new launches I do recommend checking her website as she usually has bundles available with a price break. Right now until the 15th she has a Gift With Purchase going on for a free Magic Cream Light (which I received with my order).

Did you try anything from this launch yet? Or are you waiting to see what she has coming out before the end of the year?

I have a Charlotte Tilbury holiday haul review today! I ordered almost everything from the holiday launch so far and have swatches, beauty looks and thoughts today. I ordered most of my items from Charlotte Tilbury and a few things from Nordstrom. In today’s haul post:

• Bejewelled Eyes to Hypnotise Palette ($75)
• The Super Nudes Easy Eye Palette ($57)
• Luxury Palette of Pops in Dazzling Diamonds ($53)
• Jewel Lip Gloss ($32 each)
• Hollywood Superstar Glow Highlighter ($55)

Bejewelled Eyes to Hypnotise Palette

I fell in love with the look of the Bejewelled Eyes to Hypnotise Palette while shopping in store at Nordstrom. The store lights made the palette glow and sparkle in the most beautiful way! It has four sets of coordinating eye trios. Each set is designed for a certain look for prime, enhance and smoke placement.

I think this is a beautiful palette for a glam look. You can mix or match the shades but I do think you will need colors from other palettes to give you a complete look. On me there weren’t enough deep shades to add depth or dimension, although you can always just add a liner for a completed look.

• Happy Glow has golden tan tones
• Love Glow has pink and red tones (I’m not a fan of these by themself, they’re much to red for my taste, but I can make them work on me when layered with other colors)
• Dream Glow has pretty plum and mauve tones
• Seduce Glow has pretty neutral bronze brown tones

Eye Looks below featuring Seduce Glow Look (bronze) and also Dream Glow Look (plum)

Also wearing:

• Foundation – Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation Shade 7
• Powder – Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Pressed in Medium
• Blush – Laura Mercier Blush in Fresco
• Bronzer – Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Bronzer in Medium (review here)
• Highlight – Charlotte Tilbury Superstar Hollywood Glow
• Lips – Charlotte Jewel Lips in Blushed Gold
• Mascara – Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes

Colors are smooth and easy to layer. Lasting power is very good on all colors and the shimmers aren’t too glittery or glitzy if you’re like me and prefer a more subtle sparkle.

The Super Nudes Easy Eye Palette

I had such high hopes for The Super Nudes Easy Eye Palette and have mixed feelings about this one. I really loved the Easy Smokey Eye x Nordstrom palette from a couple years ago. This new Super Nudes Palette has a completely different texture. There are 6 mattes but they are almost creamy velvety like mattes that have an odd texture to me. They apply smoothly on the lids although you have to use a dense brush and almost pat/blend/pack it on. I found the MAC 239S worked best for me.

Colors are:

• Soft warm tan
• Medium tan brown
• Warm deep brown
• Matte ivory
• Matte soft grey
• Matte smokey black

The texture is almost like some of the Natasha Denona mattes which are more of a bouncy matte, however I find the ones from Natasha Denona perform much better.

I have mixed feelings about this new Super Nudes palette. I love the shades and think it creates a nice soft smokey eye look. I just don’t love the formula – it’s not bad, but I think it would have been SO much better if they made it a regular matte. I think the Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam or Soft Glam II Mini will give you a similar look with a much better texture.

Luxury Palette of Pops in Dazzling Diamonds

The Luxury Palette of Pops in Dazzling Diamonds has four sparkling colors in a sparkling white gold champagne, sparkling soft gold brown, sparkling deeper bronze and sparkling blue-black-grey.

The glitters are beautiful in this one! I think they’re stunning for holiday for a super pretty look although I had trouble getting a good makeup look with this one. I know this one is designed to be a glitzy one with lots of sparkle to make the eyes pop. On my eyes all four were a bit too much for me. The glitter does adhere to the eyes and has minimal fall out if you use a patting method to apply. For me I think this is going to be better when used in conjunction with other matte or satin shades. I am going to keep trying with this one to get a decent makeup look for you in another post.

If you want to see the Pillow Talk Luxury Palette of Pops on my eyes (similar texture/glitter, just in pink tones) you can see my review here.

Jewel Lip Gloss

I am 100% smitten with the Jewel Lip Gloss. These are shimmery glosses loaded with sparkle but the ones I’ve tried are completely smooth and texture free. These have a subtle vanilla scent similar to the MAC Lipglasses. There are three new colors with the holiday collection, I also included two from a previous launch to swatch below. (If you shop on Charlotte Tilbury’s site she has some bundles available with a bit of price break for buying the sets.)

• Champagne Diamonds is a sheer sparkling gold beige
• Opal Magic is a sheer pale pink gold
• Blushed Gold is a pretty neutral pink beige sparkle
• Pillow Talk is a pink rose glow with a soft sheen
• Walk of No Shame is a shimmery deeper rosy color

These work alone, with a liner or on top of a gloss. I think these give the lips the prettiest and most flattering glow I’ve seen in a long time. I highly recommend checking them out! There is one more shade called ROSE JEWEL exclusive to Sephora. The reviews sound pretty bad for this shade but if you’ve tried it and think otherwise let me know in the comments!

Hollywood Superstar Glow Highlighter

I’m ending with the product I think is the star of the collection. The Hollywood Superstar Glow Highlighter is one of the prettiest opal glow I’ve seen in a long time. It looks pretty standard when swatched on the arms or compared to other shades but I think it looks so flattering on the skin. If you’re medium tan like me this will look like your skin but more glowing. It flashes peach, pink, pale pink, and opal all in one without looking too frosted. If you have lighter fair skin this will look more peachy on you.

Closer look at different angles shows the complexity of the glow/color:

Swatch comparisons below, the swatches do not do it justice at all!

• Westman Atelier Peau de Rose – review here
• Westman Atelier Peau de Peche – review here
• Chanel Poudre Lumiere – review here

That wraps up my haul post! For me the standouts are her Hollywood Superglow Highlighter (wish this was permanent!) and her Jewel Lips Lip Glosses. I think her palettes are nice, but not must-haves especially if you already own a lot of other shades from her line.

She  just launched her Fire Rose Luxury Palette and two new Eyes to Mesmerise Eyeshadows which I ordered and will also have those reviewed hopefully very soon.

Have you checked out anything from the holiday launch yet? What did you think?
