FRIDAY FAVE! Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips 2: In Love with Olivia

A satin finish muted nude soft pink lipstick, for me the perfect nude natural lip colour!

Hydrates and conditions (lipstick tree extract) and moisturises (crumb oil).

The lipstick casing is beautiful and this lipstick is also interchangeable and refillable with the other eleven Hot lips shades, there are five different designs of the lipstick casing.

The Hot Lips 2 range was created in collaboration with 11 incredible Icons. The shade 'In Love with Olivia' was made in homage to Olivia Palermo.

This is great colour for any Brides looking for a natural lipstick shade, a new staple in my pro' kit.

I honestly think this lipstick would look stunning on almost anyone, definitely a "Friday Fave!"

RRP £30.00

Pro' Tip! Apply lip liner lightly all over the lips prior to lipstick application.  I like to use the original Pillow talk lipliner with this lipstick for my perfect natural day look.

FRIDAY FAVE! Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter Travel 3 Fair

Omg I am in love with this mini travel sized Hollywood Flawless Filter in shade 3 Fair from Charlotte Tilbury to use as a highlighter on the top of the cheekbones and décolletage.

I have actually been using shades 2 and 4 in my pro-kit for years, I am not sure why I never invested in shade 3 but I have now just also ordered a large sized one for my pro-kit because the shade is so good!

It is a warm peach tone and is great for fair to medium skin tones and just perfect for achieving gorgeous youthful glowing skin! 

I love that it gives such a gorgeous natural glow to the skin and is not a huge bottle to fit inside my makeup bag like the original size...no more trying to ram my makeup bag shut!

It is perfect for travel, handbag and if you just want to use a little as a highlighter as I do unlike the larger size which is good for wearing all over the face and/or mixing with foundation.

A definite Friday Fave!

"Friday Faves!"

Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow!

Welcome to my all new "Friday faves" feature where I will try to blog or at the very least post on social media my tried and tested favourite beauty essentials every Friday.  I will only be posting about beauty products that I genuinely use and love.

I absolutely love this product, 'Wonder Glow' by makeup brand Charlotte Tilbury enhances so many different skin tones and skin types just beautifully and has become an immediate staple in my professional makeup kit.

It is a Light-reflecting Face Primer that can be applied under foundation, alone or over makeup for instantly dewy, beautiful skin.

The soft focus effect that smooths over fine lines and skin imperfections is marvellous! Therefore making this product ideal for all ages.

It is easy to apply.  I find it is best applied with fingertips and gently massaged into the skin.

£38.50
