FRIDAY FAVE! Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Fair Lipstick

I confess I brought this colour to add to my pro' kit but I absolutely love it and haven't stopped wearing it in the last two weeks I have had it, so I will have to order another for my kit as this one is staying firmly in my handbag!

Pillow Talk Fair is cool toned pink with a satin finish, the perfect shade for fair skin tones. It reminds me a lot of MAC Faux for any MAC lovers out there, which has always been a personal favourite of mine as it is the only lipstick I have ever worn that my husband said he liked! 

I like to apply the original 'pillow talk' lip cheat pencil to define lips prior to applying this colour as I find it gives a little more definition on the lip shape, but it obviously pairs perfectly with lip cheat liner 'pillow talk fair' as well.

Pillow talk lipsticks are long lasting and conditioning so feel very comfortable to wear not to mention the gorgeous rose gold packaging.

With one Pillow talk product selling every two seconds what are you waiting for!

SEPTEMBER UPDATE!

September is my birthday month so I definitely milked it with a nice few meals out and with family and friends and few days away over my birthday in sunny Malaga then I came home to Autumn which incidentally I hate, roll on summer 2025!! 

I enjoyed my birthday dinner at https://www.blossommalaga.com it was simply outstanding, if you get the chance do go!

We popped to https://vinsantobar.com I had my favourite lychee martini and again the food is always fab' here.

We also visited https://hazels-stalbans.co.uk  The food here is so good! A must do if you are local! The ham hock croquets were better than any I had in Spain.

Wedding season has ended for this year with September being a really busy month.  I have worked at some beautiful venues and had such fun on wedding mornings with my beautiful brides it has been a really great wedding season post the covid craziness of the past few years!  I have been to some f my favourites South farm, Tewinbury bury farm and Essendon Country club on multiple visits this month too!

August Update!

August was a busy one... holiday's and work it certainly flew by, but it was nice to enjoy some warmer weather at last even if it did rain a few days on our Mallorcan holiday!

We stayed in the tramuntana mountains and hired a car so we spent a lot of time travelling around different villages which was great as the weather wasn't really sunbathing weather for three or four days but also meant it wasn't as relaxing as it could have been. We particularly liked the villages of Deia and Vallemosa as well as Soller as the beautiful beach at Cala Santanyi.

Some of my Beautiful Brides who enjoyed sunny August wedding days!

Back to my studio for some trials ahead of Autumn weddings...

I am currently taking bridal bookings for 2025/26.  Reserve your date early to avoid disappointment.
