Ok so I'm a little embarrassed to admit that until
very recently, I have been somewhat behind in the whole Charlotte Tilbury
experience.
Sure I've seen tonnes of posts and photos of this
beautiful brand and it's products across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and
I've lusted over countless items but finally I've broken my CT virginity!
Everywhere I go people rave about this brand and so
I ought it was about time I saw what all the fuss was about.
I figured lipstick is always a good place to start
and it's a key item in my daily routine.
Before I address the product itself, can we all
just take a moment to appreciate the beauty that is this packaging!
It's ALL about Rose Gold and any CT lovers out
there will know that this is the signature packaging colour of choice across
the brand. It screams contemporary sophistication and delicate femininity all
at once.
Old Hollywood glamour collides with modern chic in
the look and style of the lipstick tube. The tube is ridged all the way around
and features the brands initials on the lid. In the right light it actually
looks like it glows!
So, for the lipstick itself.
The first thing you'll notice is that the lipstick
tip is square rather than pointed. This revolutionary angled tip is designed to
mimic the shape of a lip brush to allow precise application. Pretty smart huh?
Now, Red Carpet Red is a rich, true ruby red shade
that looks stunning against my pale skin.
The formula is thick and creamy and easy to apply
yet completely matte. When applying it to your lips it hugs every curve and
sticks.
You won't find any uneven smears here, just a
really vibrant, stunning, modern matte colour.
The lipsticks contains 3D glowing pigments to
create the illusion of "lit-from-within lips" that makes your lips
appear wider and fuller which is always a winner. Lipstick Tree and Orchid
extract softens, protect and hydrate your lips to ensure that they are left looking
and feeling soft despite the matte effect.
Unlike many other matte lippies my lips weren't
left feeling dry and sucked of moisture and the staying power this lipstick has
is insane!
I literally cannot think of a single negative thing
about this product. I totally get the CT hype!
It's the most beautiful, perfect Hollywood Red I've
ever come across and if every Charlotte Tilbury product is created with such
beauty and care, I'm going to be one broke girl!
