Hey Beauties!
Hope your 2024 is off to a great start!
I'm super excited for my first blog post of 2024 because it is a review of products I have been wanting to try for quite a while.
It's of the iconic Charlotte Tilbury and some of her cult-classic Pillow Talk shade of lip and cheek colors.
So, if you're looking for something to spend those gift cards on get ready to find out if these products really live up to the hype and how to use them.
You can check out my video review along with a mini tutorial here
Charlotte Tilbury Lip & Cheek Secrets set from Sephora.
I've wanted to try some of Charlotte Tilbury's products for quite a while, but some of them were just out of my price range.
Enter: Sephora.
This little kit was really reasonably priced and let me try out these products so I could decide whether or not it was worth splurging on a full size of one (or all) of these products.
Couple that with Sephora's Beauty Insider sales (all you need is an email address to become a Beauty Insider) and this set was pretty affordable!
First of all, how cute is this packaging?!
The beautiful pink shades adorned with hearts, lips, and Charlotte Tilbury logos give this box a truly delicate and feminine vibe.
And a lovely quote from Charlotte herself on the side of the box:
"Pillow Talk is not just a colour, It's a world! A beauty dream, a place to discover the most beautiful you!" -- Charlotte Tilbury.
If I wasn't sold on this set before, that quote totally captures my attention and makes me want to try it out!
This set comes with four pieces.
Three lip products and one face highlighter.

When I first read that it had a lip plumping effect, I wasn't thrilled. Lip plumpers generally dry out my lips and make them uncomfortable. But the better ingredients in this gloss makes it super comfortable to wear while still achieving fuller looking lips.
The good-for-your-skin ingredients (Vitamin A, Coconut Oil, etc.) makes this gloss not only pretty to wear, but also a go-to for nourishing and hydrating the lips.
Cute heart-shaped wand applicator makes this gloss extra fun.
Cons: Mildly sticky, like most glosses.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)
Would I Purchase a Full-Size: Yes.
Final Thoughts: An excellent lip gloss in a gorgeous shade.
The fantastic ingredients helps lips look fuller while keeping them hydrated and moisturized.
Here is one of the looks you can create with Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Beautifying Lip & Cheek Secrets Set

I used Beauty
Light Wand in Pillow Talk, Lip Cheat
Re-Shape and Re-Size Lip Liner in Pillow Talk, and Revolution
Lipstick in Pillow Talk in my Glam Makeup Tutorial.
The Beauty Light Wand highlighter gave the absolute perfect glow to go with this silver eyeshadow look.
It's a little hard to tell but my skin subtly sparkled every time the light hit the highlighter at different angles.
Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk is the perfect shade, for pretty much any look, but especially for this glam look with really intense eye makeup.
The Pillow Talk shade pulled the whole look together without it looking too over the top.
