Charlotte Tilbury Bitch Perfect and Love Glow Swatches



CHARLOTTE TILBURY

So many are making a very big deal about this new to the US cosmetic brand so i jumped on the band wagon.  However i decided to try it in increments since its pretty pricey. 

At the moment to my knowledge its only available on the Nordstrom and Net-a-Porter websites.   First off id like to share my opinion on the blush and lipstick i purchased.  I must say i absolutely love the packaging.  Its very reminicent of the 20's and 30's <3. 
The blush is unique because the idea is to swirl your brush on the outer circle all over your cheeks and dab the inner circle color on the apples of you checks.  I like the sound of that however on me the color i chose wasnt too visible. I really had to pack it on and on that rate for the price, if it were the main blush i used, it'll be done in no time. 
 I am medium skin tone with yellow undertones.
  (for those of you who prefer mac reference i am NC30) 

The lipstick is such a beautiful color its a perfect nude pink for me.  However the texture is not creamy or smooth.  It's not hydrating on the lips but wont leave them parched by the end of the day.  





 







BITCH PERFECT

Yup i chose this color for the name and i was pleasantly surprised i actually love the color.

URBAN GIRL + KATE SPADE OFFICE SUPPLIES





In the May or June Instyle Magazine they had a little article on all these really cool acrylic kate spade office supplies. NOW YOU KNOW I NEEDED THEM! So i stalked the internet every day till one day i found them.  They were on two sites.  One company i REFUSE to do business with from a horrible past experience and one i wasnt familiar with at all.   

You guys you know how it is... small company... can you trust them?  I scrolled to the bottom and saw paypal and figured i'd take a shot. I am soooo glad i did!!! Note: If you sign up for their newsletter you get 5 bucks off of 65 which is pretty sweet. 



Shipping was very fast and to my surprise they included a personalized note!   That's what i call customer service.  They have a great selection and other collections as well like Jonathan Adler.  I was so happy with their service, when the kate spade pens finally came out i waited and purchased from Urban Girl again.  

I say if you see what you want support our smaller companies.
