A little tub of lip magic!

I have used most of the high end lip scrubs but this little tub of sugar is the best I've ever used! Unlike a lot of others, this is a combination of scrub and nutrients for your lips that works in seconds. Simply take a little bit out of the tub just before applying your make up, rub in circular motions on your lips until the sugar is melted, then slick it off your lips to find the softest lips imaginable, with all the dry dead skin gone, and ready for a flawless lipstick application I'm on my third tub, and I keep two in back up. I keep one in my purses well as my bathroom. I will not go without it.

Glamour personified!

I bought this lip pencil for Birkin Brown lipstick, and am I ever glad that I did! I had been getting by with various browns from other lines as well as CT's Iconic Nude, but let me tell you, this pencil just lets Birkin Brown shine! It was made for it! CT's pencils are pricey, especially if you follow Charlotte's advice to keep them sharp always, as they will wear down faster. I do my best to keep them sharp and not waste any....not the easiest of undertakings, but essential for an incredible lip with Birkin Brown, which is easily my favourite and definitely my go to lipstick out of all of CT's range. You will not be sorry you tried this: it adds the Ooh La La to Birkin Brown! ( and any other brown lipstick you have!).

Another Natasha Denona must have!

The colours in this palette are to die for! They match my red hair perfectly and this has rapidly become my new favourite, "go to" palette. By now I have come to expect top quality from Natasha Denona shadows and this delivers. Pigmentation, blendability and durability are expected. This palette offers the usual mix of matte, shimmer and "glitter" shadows: don't complain about fallout. Use glitter glue, put on your foundation after you do your eyes, and use your fingers to put these "glitter" shadows on for better effect. See them as an opportunity to be able to use more "in your face" and red carpet shadows rather than something to complain about. I love these colours and I don't use ND's recommendation of using the close by four lots of shadow to make a look anymore. The more you use this palette the more comfortable you get with the colours, and you'll experiment with ease! I can't say enough good things about this palette.

Best warm palette ever!

I have the full Viseart Warm Mattes, and this is a great complement, to jazz a day look up for evenings, etc. I LOVE this palette, especially how it travels in its little case! These are very blendable colours, and cover not only basic warms but also lends itself to the "Sunset" colours that are currently in vogue. This palette has become my go to palette. It can stand on its own with its three matte shades as well as the three shimmer that range from light to dark, allowing a full smokey eye!

Amazing results!

I love face masks and everything Charlotte Tilbury, but I will admit that I was sceptical about this mask. I followed all directions and after 15 mins was surprised to find my skin so soft and moist. I was delighted.... my skin glowed and I couldnt find my wrinkles! It was amazing, but what really floored me was when I looked into the car mirror the next day. My face was plumped up, no lines to be seen and it glowed! I am very impressed with this mask: another Charlotte winner!

The best!

This is my second Anniversary set. I bought them because I wanted the eye brushes and they werent available. But OMG! Brush #1 is amazing! These are the softest, most efficient brushes you will ever use. I have all of Wayne's brushes.... there are none better. I ise his brushes exclusively at this point, from the day they were first released. Highly, highly, recommend!

Finally: my HG foundation!

It has taken decades for me to find a foundation that I've been this happy with. It is full coverage, buildable, and doesn't get stuck in fine lines. Or deeper ones, either! I got this on the recommendation of Mathias Alan, and let me tell you, that man knows his make up! He hasn't steered me wrong yet! I bought the Fx foundation brush to use with it, and I'm really glad that I did. It allows for a stippling effect that pushes the foundation into my skin for fuller coverage. It gives that glow from within look that I've coveted, and finally achieved. In short, it's my dream foundation, all in one compact. I cannot recommend this product highly enough!

Weird, but amazing!

This is the weirdest product I've ever used! I put a dry piece of paper/fabric over my face, massage it briefly, and 15 mins later, my face feels soft and hydrated, almost wet, and the same fabric is dry! I can't get my head around it, and though I understand the science involved, it's quite another to experience it! My face remained hydrated all the way through the next day, even through my full face of makeup and removal. I'm really looking forward to continuing to use this mask....I got the four pack, so I'm anticipating a no mess, easy to use Mask. My skin is very dry so it was really nice to have a long term hydrating effect like this. If I can use this with similar effects on an ongoing basis, I'm very happy!

WOW!

This is my second Tom Ford palette, but Honeymoon seriously takes the cake! The colours are to die for! I know this brand blends well, won't budge ( I've had them on for over 24 hours) and are highly pigmented so I won't bore you with the details, but the colours of Honeymoon are something else! They can be worn as separates ( or duos) for daytime but the full drama belongs to the bottom two on the palette. Evenings will never be the same. I wear a waterproof base over my eye primer, then use the palette. I've gotten so many compliments on my eyes! These are bright colours, but not glittery. Elegance personified.

Amazing!! My HG!!

I'm a foundation hound.....I can't count all the high end foundations I have. However I've found my HG here: it's easy to apply, buildable though I really only need one coat which is unusual ( I'm 65) ....and it feels so good and imparts a luminosity that up to now has eluded me! I love it! It's still there twelve hours later, and doesn't require setting ( though on my 12 hour shift days I do set), I love it...I can't say that enough!
