Perfect for my NC25/NC30 skin tone!

I waffled between this one and the Ghost, watching and reading various reviews to see which one would suit me better. I really didn’t want TWO, but purchased both. Once I received the Ghost Unlocked and tried it, I immediately knew it would suit me and returned the other unused (it would very likely be too light). I find the blushes to be pigmented and lovely. The finishing powders are perfect - the darker can be used to warm up a paler complexion or a slightly too-light foundation. Bronzer is easy to blend and the shimmer is lovely. Love it!

I was very pleasantly surprised by this, perfect for travel!

I’m not usually one to buy an all-in-one palette, as in the past I’ve always only liked parts of it. I purchased this CT Gorgeous Glowing Beauty palette with the intent to use it for travel. Even if I take various shadows and blushes on a trip, the actual traveling to/from a destination benefits from lightening the load in my purse. I used it, and exclusively it (except for foundation, mascara, lipstick) yesterday for a “test drive”. Ifound the colors to be quite usable for my NC25-NC30 complexion. The 2 shimmer shadow shades are subtle enough on aging lids to not accentuate crepiness, yet impact a lovely color. Surprisingly the far-right deepest shade is perfect for adding depth and lining, and the reddish tone to the brown does not make me look tired! The bronzer doubles as an eye-transition shade...it’s a little dark for me right now in the winter but the warmth suits my complexion if I blend well. The light blush is VERY subtle but lovely, and since the darker blush is pretty intense, I use the lighter one to diffuse it. Highlight shade is lovely as well. This is my first Instant Look in a Palette from Charlotte Tilbury, and I’m interested to see if she comes up with a cooler version, because I can easily see myself making use of that as well!

Decent application of liquid, poor quality!

Ordered this brush based on the reviews....wanted a rush specifically for liquid foundation. Application is good, but streaky as another reviewer stated. Still it was better than most if you are going to use a brush that isn't all-over dense. The downside? After less than a month and only using it tops a half-dozen times with no water-washing, big tufts of bristles came out. NOT acceptable in a $62 brush. Am sending it back.
