Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream

We all know that Charlotte Tilbury makes the most exquisite make up (if you didn’t know that, where have you been?!) but did you know that she also has a fabulous line of Skincare products too?

When browsing her counters in John Lewis or pouring lover her website I can’t help but get side tracked by all the pretty rose gold housed lipsticks and palettes, foundations and bronzers and by the time I’ve added all these lovelies to my shopping basket and checked out, I’m way too broke to consider skincare.

Let me tell you now that if this sounds like you as well, well, we’ve been missing out on actual gem of a product. And yes it is skincare.

I’m talking about the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream.

Packaged absolutely exquisitely (would you expect anything else) Charlotte’s Magic Cream is an Instant Turnaround Moisturiser with SPF 15.

Housed within a chic, clear octagon shaped jar and adorned with the iconic rose gold lid this daily moisturiser is both magic by name and magic by nature.

This cult cream is based on Charlotte’s hand-made ‘backstage’ formula which was originally created to prep models’ complexions prior to their catwalk shows.

Offering and instant hit of hydration this wonder cream instantly transforms your complexion thanks to its impressive skin loving list of ingredients and hey, if its good enough for a top model its good enough for me!

This rich, multi-tasking product contains a hit of Hylauronic acid, sodium hyaluronate and wild pansy extract which helps to attract and seal-in moisture so that your skin not only feels instantly hydrated but feels wonderfully soft and moisturised all day long.

A unique, multi-tasking, anti-ageing BioNymph Peptide Complex helps to turn back the clock and battles against fine lines and wrinkles to encourage beautiful skin from within, all while fighting free radicals.

Extracts of rosehip and camellia oils along with vitamin E help to transform dull complexions while extracts of frangipani, aloe vera, damask rose and vitamin A work to combat inflammation, soothe redness and leave your skin looking luminous.

I’m sure you’ll agree that the cream boasts an impressive list of skin loving ingredients, but does it actually work?

I’m going to have to say yes.

Despite the fact that the cream is rich and thick in texture, it actually worked really well with my oily/combination skin.

Rich doesn’t have to mean ‘heavy’ and this cream is anything but. 

Lightweight and quickly absorbed, your skin really does instantly feel plumper and hydrated without any hint of residual greasiness.

The cream possesses a really delicate, botanical scent which is really pleasant to apply and my skin was left feeling lovely and soft and hydrated throughout the day.

Because of the nature of my skin I don’t tend to use night creams as I find many too heavy but actually with this cream I don’t feel that my skin needs that extra TLC at night.

It is so well looked after and pampered with the Magic Cream that simply a slightly more generous application at night time is all I need to ensure that my skin is nourished overnight.

It says on the gorgeous packaging for the Magic Cream ‘The Magic Dew of Youth and Luminosity In a Jar’ and I’d say that’s a pretty great description of this product!

Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream is a wonderful product that will help your skin to glow with radiance and luminosity and absolutely deserves your attention, so when you’re finding yourself captivated by the gorgeous new lipsticks, head over the skincare section and check this gem out.

You will be forever grateful that you did. 

After all, how can you expect your painting to look incredible if you don’t look after the canvas!
