Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Light

Ladies and gents, allow me to introduce you to the latest addition to Charlotte Tilbury's fabulous skincare line.

Meet my new favourite moisturiser, the Magic Cream Light.

Inspired by her award winning Magic Cream, this new light variation offers a featherlight texture that helps to brighten, plump, smooth and perfect your complexion.

The result is radiant, younger looking skin.

But why add another moisturiser when the Magic Cream original is already so exceptional? 

Well, if like me you have slightly oily skin, or find yourself in need of a much lighter moisturiser in the hot summer months, the OG Magic Cream may feel slightly too heavy for your skin.

Step forward Magic Cream Light.

Elegant and poised, the cream is housed within a heavy, sleek white and rose gold glass bottle.

Featuring a dispensing pump for hygienic, precise dosage, it is a really beautiful, radiant bottle that reflects the magic of the formula captured within.

The cream is absolutely packed full of an incredible array of skin loving ingredients to promote health, protect and perfect.

Formulated with a peptide called Replexium, it works to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while plumping and firming your skin.

Another key ingredient is called Radicare Gold, which is a fantastic blue light shield. 

This helps your skin to resist against stresses caused by natural radiation of blue light from both the sun and also digital devices, resulting in younger looking skin.

Speaking of the sun, it also boasts SPF20 with both UVA and B filters to help protect your skin from the suns harmful rays which as we all know, can cause premature ageing.

The luxurious, silky cream also contains a natural active ingredient derived from the white horehound plant called Citystem which shields your skin from both visible and invisible environmental aggressors.

Crambe seed oil offers superior, lightweight moisturisation to keep your skin feeling supple, Vitamin E conditions, nourishes and brightens your skin and Coconut Alkalines encourages suppleness.

Suitable for all skin types (though particularly great for oily/combination skin) it contains a smoothing, mattifying filter which makes it a great primer.

The cream itself is more of a lotion in terms of texture.

Silky, soft and wonderfully light, the fluid glides across your skin, quenching dry skin  before disappearing entirely.

Your skin is left feeling smooth and plump without the sensation of being weighed down or flooded.

Despite its featherlight texture it offers a fab, long-lasting hit of moisture without making your skin look shiny or feeling claggy.

I've been using it twice daily for a number of weeks and im well and truly hooked.

Don't get me wrong, I adore the original Magic Cream but I'm so pleased that Charlotte has created a lighter version.

I've found myself using the Magic Cream Light in the morning and the OG for a more intensive treatment at night.

It does a brilliant job of waking up your skin, creating the perfect canvas for your makeup application.

It really does transform a dull, lacklustre complexion, adding luminosity and radiance to the every day.

Charlotte Tilbury's new Magic Cream Light is available now and costs £75. 

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum Crystal Elixir

 Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir (£60) really is a little bit of skincare magic captured within an elegant glass vessel.

This supercharged serum has been clinically proven to offer superior hydration and anti-ageing properties for younger-looking skin which radiates health.

Created in conjunction with expert scientists, the ground breaking serum contains a magic matrix of ingredients expertly blended within a high-performance elixir to give your skin a magic boost instantly. 

 

 

Suitable for all skin types and designed to be used before your moisturiser it contains 20% potent ingredient concentration suspended in a water-based formula.

Featuring an impressive list of potent ingredients that your skin will love, one hero element is Polyglutamic Acid.

This skincare gem is over four times more hydrating than hyaluronic acid, ensuring moisture is locked in, plumping and refreshing your skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

 

 

Formulate with Sepitonic M3, an active mineral complex encourages soother skin while a Replexium Peptide blend targets wrinkles.

Golden Vitamin C brightens your complexion while Squizandryl, an antioxidant berry gets to work to improve overall skin vitality.

Plant Adaptogen Extracts help to retain moisture and Niacinamide and vitamin B3 improves skin tone and reduces the appearance of pores.

 

 

As the serum is called a crystal elixir, it’ll come as no surprise to you that it also contains a 5 crystal complex.

Inspired by holistic wellbeing and the healing frequency of light and energy, it offers an intense boost of radiance and imparts a healthy glow to dull, tired complexions.

Impressive right?

 

 

The serum itself is a soft, milky colour and possesses an almost water-light texture.

Exceptionally lightweight and silky, it glides across your skin and is almost instantly absorbed as your skin drinks in all the goodness.

Its feather-light texture is perfect for my combination/oily complexion as it doesn’t feel heavy or weigh my skin down, and its soft, subtle aromatic aroma is simply divine.

 

 

Instantly, my skin feels softer, firmer and deeply hydrated while appearing brighter and ‘more awake’.

After using it daily for a week my skin feels more toned, more balanced and wonderfully soft.

Even when using a mattifying foundation which can be drying, my skin feels comfortable, hydrated and healthy.

 

 

I’m not alone in feeling this as results of clinical trials report that 93% of people agreed that their skin looked younger, 91% felt that their fine lines and wrinkles appeared reduced and 94% felt that their skin felt firmer.

I’d quite happily agree with these results.

Is there anything that Charlotte Tilbury’s products can’t do?

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!

Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream is available now and costs £70.
