Good neutral palette with fun pops

First, this is a different formula which is particularly apparent with the shimmer shades. Normally they are heavy, swatch gorgeous and in your face. The ones is this palette are subtler take a bit longer to apply (not one swish application). The mattes are gorgeous and blend beautifully the columns are interesting looks and actually work without being over the top. Today I used sangria, vintage ?, and the green shimmer. I was able to build up the green to a nice look but it did require some multiple dips. I will admit to a concern with hard pan on these shimmers if you use your finger but will keep watching it carefully. As I am a neutral girl this palette is right up my alley but so far I have enjoyed adding the bottom row and still getting a daytime appropriate look. One thing I will say is Im not sure if you could get a really intense night time glam except with maybe the mint metallic on the far bottom left. I knocked off one star because the shimmers just really are not as good as her original formula and not as easy to apply but I left the 4 stars because it is still a good palette, the mattes are perfect for me and while the shimmers aren't as bright as expected they are still nice to use and pretty on the eye. So while this isn't the same as her previous palettes it is still nice and honestly I have a feeling I will be reaching for this one more often than my other ND palettes for my daytime/work looks

The best eye brushes EVER

These are soft yet sturdy. If you are used to a stiffer synthetic brush this is a great transition. It is soft due to the natural hair yet dense enough that it blends gorgeously. I had the black ones which are super soft and I just didn't know how to use them properly. But I will say that after getting this set and using these brushes exclusively every day I now have an even better appreciation for natural hair brushes. These are great and I can now enjoy using the original set also not that I have transitioned to mainly using WG brushes. I only have a few other brushes that i use mainly if i need to clean my WG or for cream shadows. These are wonderful and even though there isn't a liner brush or pencil brush in this set I really don't think they are necessary for this set...most people have them already or can get a cheap option that will honestly work just fine for that kind of detail.

Fun and fabulous experience

Beautylish has the best lucky bag fun ever! I missed it the last two years and was finally eligible..I stalked the webpage the day it went on sale in the hopes of getting a XL lucky bag. Which I was able to do. Finally in January I got the shipping notification. Then after much concern both because of weather delays and seeing some unboxing where some folks didn't like theirs, mine finally arrived. As I opened the box, I prayed to the beauty gods that there was a Natasha Denona palette in my lucky bag. I saw it right away and everything that came next were just bonus items for me. Honestly, I received the perfect bag for me. ND 28 pan palette, byTerry bronzer/bush, Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood lip, nail polish, WG airbrush, joker trio mask and the bonus card. I was extra lucky this year which i am exceedingly grateful for Beautylish and their fun lucky bag. I am now addicted to Natasha Denona..gosh darnit not sure my pocket book can afford her...guess I getting a good start for next year's XL

Not CT's usual quality

I received this in my 2018 Lucky bag and was really excited to try it. I adore most CT products. Her lipstick in Bitch Perfect is BEAUTIFUL. This color-wise is okay. It is a warm peachy shade. This has a mousse texture and the weirdest applicator. Too much product comes out initially which makes application messy. It takes a long time to dry down and it feels odd on the lips, not terribly uncomfortable but not great. it is patchy so takes a bit to build to full opacity. It doesn't fade gracefully but in chunks and patches leaving a dried ring around the mouth. If this looked great on the lips after the effort to apply I could deal with most of the mentioned cons but it really emphasizes texture and lines making lips looks worse rather than better.I will stick with her lipsticks which are bomb and avoid any more of these.

Must have eye set

These are THE BEST BRUSHES EVER. Soft yet firm enough to blend i have given up all other brushes. The only thing that would have taken it over the top is a pencil brush. I have the other set which has a pencil brush but I dont like that one as much so I have been sticking to my luxie pencil brush. However, even with that i adore this set.

Okay

I was looking for a pastel palette and this looks beautiful on website. The packaging is high quality just not sure if i really care for the eyeshadows themselves. I stuggled with application as it didn’t seem to blend well or stay long. Ill play with it some more but this isn’t my favorite palette and don’t find myself ever reaching for it.

Favorite of the face palettes

Out of the instant look palettes this is my favorite. The addition of black means it is a little more versatile. The gold bar highlighter is better than the previous versions and the blushes are neutral but beautiful. Overall, i highly recommend this one and if you can only get one this is the one you need to get.

Nice light coverage

This is a nice light tone-evening product. It is good for giving you a little color that can even out your skin tone. I think you could use it under another lighter coverage foundation if you needed more coverage. If you need more coverage this isn’t the product but if you like BB creams then this should work. It looks like you have added a little sun to your face. Overall I like it.

Beautiful and soft

This is supposed to be four stars but can’t seem to get those to work so here is my review anyway... So soft beautifully crafted, just can’t figure out what to use it for...this is more about me than the brush. You can’t use this one with creams and one customer mentioned that they felt it was ruined using tompowder over foundation/concealer...so I’m cautious about usage. I have a feeling this will become a blush brush or finishing powder brush. Quality is super high but honestly if you have the number 10 brush not sure if you actually need this one. I didn’ really Need it but I’ve made it my goal to own them all...only thing left now is 00 powder brush

Adore these brushes

I now have all WG brushes and I’m very happy. They are super soft and apply products beautifully. I’m still working up to creams with these face brushes but I really like them. The fan brush is phenomenal for highlighter and I love the #10 for both underveye powder and highlighter. The 13 I think whichever one is more tapered is great for contour and the other 11 or 12, the fluffier paddle brush I’ve been using for blush and bronzer. Th eonly one I have not figured out my best use for is the tapered fluffy brush. It is not densely packed so I’m trying to figure out how I like to use it...recommended for bronzer or blush or powder for light application just haven’t figured out which i like better. Regardless these are phenomenal brushes and if you can afford the splurge I highly recommend them.
