FRIDAY FAVE! Pillow Talk Blush Balm Lip Tint

Pillow Talk Blush Balm Lip Tint!

Six brand new Pillow Talk shades for a natural hydrating tint of lip colour!

• Pillow Talk: Sheer nude-pink 
• Pillow Talk Medium: Sheer cool rose 
• Cherry Talk: Sheer cherry 
• Blushed Rose: Sheer rosewood 
• Blushed Jam: Sheer blushed mulberry 
• 90s Kiss: Sheer muted brown 

These are 3-in-1 sheer lipstick + lip balm + lip tint!

Lip tints, that are natural and sheer therefore they are great if you are usually a non-lipstick wearer or like a natural hint of colour.

These tints are super wearable and feel nourishing and hydrating whilst giving a subtle colour and shine.  They are made up of 92% skin care and also contain youth-boosting peptides.

I definitely do find they make your lips appear plumper which I love!

However I do not find that they stay on that well and so I have to reapply often, not a major issue as I quite enjoy reapplying throughout the day.

They cleverly have a “pH Custom Colour Chemistry” which works with your individual lips to a create a shade that is unique to you.

I have shade Pillow talk Medium which I love and gives just a hint of colour a little pinker than my natural lips.

Definitely a "Friday Fave" in my Pro Kit for all my "No Makeup" Brides! 

My pro Tip:

Apply ‘Pillow talk’ lip liner or ‘Iconic Nude’ all over the lips, then apply your favourite lipstick on top then apply the pillow talk tint on top of that! I love the sheer shine blurred and plumped effect I can achieve with this method.

Friday Fave! Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer

I have been testing this concealer for around a month or so now and I like it used in small amounts, a little goes a long way.  This is a good full coverage concealer hence why a little goes a log way. I have found it covers blemishes and redness very well, as well as not feeling too heavy applied under the eyes.

The coverage is very good, the overall finish looks and feels natural and it stays on well all day.  This concealer feels hydrating and comfortable to wear and I have not felt any creasing but then I am not prone to concealer creasing.

The concealer moisturises for 24 hours and doubles the hydration after one hour, I have to say my skin has definitely felt more hydrated since wearing it and even looks more glowy!

The applicator is diamond shaped for easy application, I apply a few dabs onto the face using the applicator and then tend to blend in well with a separate concealer brush.

It is a firm  "Friday Fave" and is remaining in my makeup bag - always a good sign!  I have also stocked up on various shades for my pro' kit.

FRIDAY FAVE! Charlotte's Magic cream

Charlotte Tilbury's magic cream is a firm favourite in my pro-makeup kit.

This is the first product that Charlotte created, born backstage to revive supermodel's skin. This will make your skin glow and your makeup will thank you for it too!

Contains SPF 15 & Hyaluronic acid + vitamins C & E + peptide complex. These ingredients work to smooth, brighten, hydrate, calm and plump the skin.  Also contains Camellia oil to give a dewy complexion.

Four available sizes 15ml, 30ml, 50ml and 10ml and refillable sizes are also available in the 50ml and 150ml (£28-£195).

I personally love as you open inside the box the method of the "Tilbury Tap" a five minute facial massage you can do to promote elasticity and the skin's appearance, it is a great opportunity for some daily self care.

1. COMPLEXION BOOST

Start from the lower cheek, sweep the cream out & up. Tap fingertips across the cheeks, avoiding the eye contour.

2. DEFINE CONTOURS

Place fingers under cheekbones and, applying light pressure, smooth outwards and upwards along the cheekbone

3. DEFINE JAWLINE

Gently pinch chin with fingers, moving up and along your jawline in one sweeping motion.

4. SMOOTH FURROWS

Starting in the middle of the forehead, massage in circular motions moving out to the temples. Pat the excess into the skin using your ring fingers.

5. MASSAGE NECK AND DÉCOLLETAGE

Applying gentle pressure, massage along the décolletage and up to the neck in an upward lifting motion.

I love to apply this to my clients ten minutes before makeup so that makeup sits beautifully on top and looks radiant.

The jar also looks gorgeous especially if on display on a dressing table and not in the bathroom cabinet like mine!

A firm "Friday Fave"!

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!

Friday Fave! Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-kissed Glow Bronzer.

 Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-kissed Glow Bronzer.

I have long been a huge fan of both Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush powder bronzer and Unisex Healthy Glow tint but the recent introduction of a cream bronzer is literally a dream come true for me!

It is the best cream bronzer by far that I have tried and I have tried quite a few! There are four shades for different skin tones.  I opted for shade 2. Medium but you can also choose from 1. Fair, 3. Tan and 4. Deep.

I like to take a synthetic brush and swirl it gently around the bronzing cream before buffing into the areas of the face the sun naturally hits i.e cheekbones, forehead, nose and jawline. I blend well using the same brush and add more product a little at a time if I think I need it.  This bronzer can also be used on the body and I like to take it down onto the neck and collarbone.

It contains Hyaluronic acid and pro-vitamin D3 to hydrate skin as well as improving the skin's appearance.

If you like a glowy bronzed look and like to use cream blusher this is definitely the product for you, also an excellent choice if you have mature or drier skin rather than using a powder bronzer.

The best bit is it lasts up to 16 hours and is sweat/humidity proof and in the 40 degree heat in the UK this week it didn't budge and certainly passed the test.

This cream bronzer gives such a gorgeous sun-kissed look... I absolutely love it!!  Firmly staying in my makeup bag I will not be without it and a definite Friday Fave!

FRIDAY FAVE! Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Original Matte Revolution Lipstick

Pillow Talk Lipstick is Charlotte Tilbury's iconic matte nude-pink lipstick which is a very wearable shade for many hence why it created makeup mania globally.
In 2019 one was sold every two minutes!

Pillow Talk is formulated for every woman of any age and skin tone, although you cannot please everyone!  Lipstick is so personal, however the majority will and indeed do love it.

The colour enhances the natural hue of your lips so it is unique to your natural skin tone and lip colour.

It is a long-wearing matte lipstick that lasts for up to 10 hours as well as hydrating the lips.  It is very comfortable to wear and not drying.

The lipstick bullet is square shaped making application easier and more precise.  There is also a matching lip pencil which is equally as great.

It is one of my go-to colours for a natural lip and a firm staple in my professional make-up kit plus a perfect shade for a lot of Brides.

Friday Fave! Charlotte Tilbury Unisex Healthy Glow

Charlotte Tilbury Unisex Healthy Glow
Hydrating Tinted Moisturiser

"Summer-in-a-bottle" is what it says on the Charlotte Tilbury website and it is exactly that! An absolute firm new favourite of mine.

It is light and comfortable to wear, giving a subtle hydrating hint of colour to the complexion.
Natural tan pigments reveal themselves as you blend the product into the skin and you only need to use a small amount.  I use a small amount applied to my fingertips and blend evenly...fool proof!

Charlotte Tilbury claims it "brings life to tired skin" and Indeed it does!  The product literally morphs into your skin tone. It is just lovely for acheiving a natural healthy glow.  It is absolutely ideal for those that do not like to wear foundation. It is not matte but equally has no shimmer.

I love it!

40ml  £35.00 Unisex.

Friday Fave! Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes Volume 2

Legendary Lashes Volume 2 is a great mascara in my opinion, although I think I was one of the minority that loved the original it was the perfect mascara for me and my short fair eyelashes!

It is a new staple in my makeup bag which is fast becoming a bag of Charlotte Tilbury!!  I apply a good two or three coats and it really builds the thickness and length of my lashes.  I also love the fact it is an intense jet black mascara.  The brush is a good size, it is quite big to build the lashes but not too big and works perfectly on my bottom lashes as well.

A brand new Long-wear, smudge-proof and humidity resistant formula.

Increases Lash volume and thickness after just one application.

Paraben and Fragrance free.

It is a definite thumbs up from me!

Friday Fave: Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Skin Clay Mask

My "Friday Fave" this week is Charlotte Tilbury's 'Goddess Skin Clay Mask'.


I must admit I have never really been that good at using masks at home in the past but I absolutely love this one! I use it 2-3 times a week. I smooth it on to my face in a thin layer using my finger tips and leave for 10 minutes before massaging my face as I wash it off.  I am left with glowing, super soft clear skin. I follow up with the Charlotte Tilbury 'Magic cream' moisturiser http://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/charlottes-magic-cream.html which is equally as fabulous!  
My Makeup even looks better and sits on my skin just beautifully after I have used this mask.

I would especially recommend using this before an important social event like a wedding when you really want your skin to look and feel amazing...this is a great product for Brides to be!

The formula itself consists of Spanish clay with almond oil to nourish, BioNymph Peptide to promote collagen and elasticity, Frangipani flower extracts that have antiseptic properties to soothe and essential oils to hydrate.  

Even better it is 'Vegan Friendly' and not tested on animals.

Goddess Skin Clay Mask.  £38.00 75ml

I 100% recommend this product, Happy Shopping! : )

This weeks 'Friday Fave" is Charlotte Tilbury's new Hollywood FLAWLESS FILTER.

This product achieves a superstar youthful glow, it can be applied all over the face, mixed with foundation for heavier coverage or applied on top of foundation for a highlight.

It has the versatility of a primer, the gorgeous glow of a highlighter, and perfects skin like a digital filter. It helps smooth the skins appearance minimising fine lines and open pores, definitely achieving red-carpet worthy skin.

I like to wear it on its own for glowing coverage or sometimes I pat it onto the high points of the face i.e cheekbones and cupids bow for a beautiful highlight.  It has a definite thumbs up from me!

There are seven shades ranging from '1' to '7', I have been wearing shade '3', described as a neutral peach for light to medium skin.

30ml RRP £30.00
