Pretty formula. Some of the shades have odd undertones or look a little unnatural. But that's what you get when a brand gets creative. I like these.

I'm skipping swatches since they're all over the internet already.
I was pleasantly surprised by this palette and like it more than I expected. The colors really are very warm toned but each is perfect for blue eyes. I have to mix in some lighter and darker shades to get the looks I want. If I'm not careful, the shades can blend together and be a little muddy as many are Megan Lisa Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248703685796710748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229534495795781200.post-59231015028870526402017-02-12T04:47:00.000-08:002017-02-12T04:47:54.003-08:00Revlon Ultra HD Gel Lipcolor 700 705 710 715 720 745 755 760

Not as cool as I expected, this highlighter mixes in a touch of warm to avoid that icy cool which can be harsh. I'm a huge fan of this palette. The formula is creamy, finely milled and imparts a soft sheen. It's very natural on, with none of the metallic shine or glitter.

These shades are really stunning!
The grey is especially pretty, a smoky matte color that is much more flattering on me than black. The lightest pink is a champagne sort of glittery pink which actually does adhere to my skin. One pink is a true cool watermelon and the other has a hint of salmon (the latter works much better on me). The orange is a true orange, but not neon Megan Lisa Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09248703685796710748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229534495795781200.post-78896798754400304272017-01-29T15:12:00.001-08:002017-02-12T04:25:03.048-08:00Charlotte Tilbury Valentine Kissing and Pillow Talk Matte Lipstick Review and SwatchesOh these work for me!
Kissing to the right below and Pillow Talk to the Left. They look similar and do look similar on but in some ways are so very different.
Valentine is a cooler lighter pink that somehow doesn't wash me out. It has a slight sheen, is mostly but not fully opaque and is stunning.

These are so lovely. They look more like a regular lipstick than a liquid one but wear super long. The colors are vibrant and don't look dry.
505 a vivd strawberry rose, with slightly cool undertones.
506 a rose pink that is a touch warmer and less bright than 505.
600 a purplish berry than looks a lot less purple on me than swatched.

I love this cooler toned palette. Playing up my eyes (and using a lip liner) helps me make these lighter lip shades work.

All I want is a frosty champagne gold that looks slightly peachy on me.
Bit of Bubbly is a light beige peach and a satin look. Very light.

Givenchy has some new lipsticks coming out, and I was told the release is January 2017. Barney's accidentally released this marbled red/black lipstick early.
The shade is a pink-black undertoned red. Slightly cool (on me). It's a lighter formula with mostly full coverage.

I love this concept and the product! Sweat makes a foundation (plus a bronzer and an illuminator) in a portable brush container for use during workouts and busy lives. The mineral powder foundation has SPF, provides light to medium coverage and does wear better than most during workouts.

Like the eyeshadow palette, a light formula. The shades are stunning (a soft cool pink and a crushed berry; sheer gloss with a pink tint and tiny glitter), but ever so barely there. A luxury.

Perfect if you like the sheer wash of color look. These shades each have a distinctive twist that takes them out of the ordinary. But overall they're glittery. The mattes have a satin feel to them and are also lighter in texture.

These are super pigmented, yet light and perhaps not fully opaque (but so pigmented it's hard to tell).
Sweet Desire is a soft pink nude. Real Ruby seems to have an undertone that switches between warm and cool (peach) and is a medium red. Bloodstone is a deep cooler (burgundy undertone) red with micro shimmer and a lovely shine.
I adore these.

A pink rose gold
A deep slightly golden bronze
A true but not too yellow gold
And a silvery champagne pink
The formula is slightly metallic and these are very pigmented, perhaps too much so for some. The palette is small and leans warm overall.
