Hey Makeup Lovers,
Hope spring is treating you well and that it's not as rainy as it has been here in New York ☔
Today I have a review and tutorial for you of one of my favorite brands: Charlotte Tilbury.
And these products come in a cute kit that you can easily carry with you on-the go!
You can watch my video review + tutorial here
REVIEW
Pillow Talk On the Go Kit features five mini beauty products in the iconic 'Pillow Talk' shade that Charlotte Tilbury is famous for.
I purchased this one from Ulta Beauty. It retails for $54 (use those Ulta reward points!)
The packaging itself is adorably feminine with pretty pink colors and lip prints, along with the signature 'CT' Charlotte Tilbury logo.
The side of the box has a quote from Charlotte herself about her incredible, universally flattering shade: "Pillow Talk is not just a colour, it's a world! A beauty dream, a place to discover the most beautiful you!"
This kit gives you travel sizes of her eyeliner pencil, mascara, lip liner, liquid blush, and lipstick.
They are pretty generous for travel sizes and you will get a lot of use out of each one.
Another perk of this kit is that you get to try several of these products for about the price of one or two of the full-sizes.
It's a good way to figure out which ones you really love and want to purchase full sizes of.
Let's look at each product individually and see how they rate.
Again, you can see my video review here
Mini Pillow Talk Eyeliner
Product: Eyeliner
Name of Shade: Pillow Talk
Color: Berry Brown
Finish: Matte
Formula: Cream, Pencil
Waterproof: Yes
Smudges/Streaks/Runs: No/No/No
Lasts for: 8+ Hours
Pros: Soft and blendable, perfect for creating precise lines or blending out for a smoky effect.
Lasts for hours with no smudging or fading.
Waterproof with excellent staying power in the water line of the eye.
Cons: I don't love the color with my skin tone. The berry shade makes my eyes look bloodshot.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭑⭑ ( 3 out of 5)
Would I Purchase a Full Size: Not in this shade, but I would in another.
Final Thoughts: A great eyeliner that gives you all kinds of options for wear. Long-lasting with all day staying power. Not a fan of the specific shade.
Travel Size Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes! Mascara
Product: Mascara
Pros: Super gorgeous formula that gives lashes incredible lift and volume.
The wand has two sides; one loads lashes with coats of lash hugging, super pigmented mascara, and the other side has ingenious bristles that grabs every lash and combs through them for a perfect separated and wide eyed effect.
It's waterproof and cry-proof, I put it to the test!
Cons: None, literally none.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(5 out of 5. Could be a 6!)
Would I Purchase a Full Size: Absolutely!
Final Thoughts: A remarkable mascara that checks all of the boxes. Lasts forever and can stand up against water. A full size is about $29 (oh, so worth it for what it does) or another travel size is about $15.
Mini Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Original
Product: Lip Liner
Name of Shade: Pillow Talk
Color: Nude Pink
Finish: Matte
Waterproof: Yes
Smudges/Feathers: No/No
Waxy/Tugs: No/No
Lasts for: 8 Hours
Pros: I recently reviewed this lip liner which came in another set and I'm still a big fan.
This liner applies smoothly and seamlessly and allows you to resize or add fullness to your lip shape.
The shade is the perfect neutral so your lips don't look fake or altered in any way.
It has lasted for up to 8 hours for me, even through eating and drinking.
I love this shade, Pillow Talk, but it comes in multiple other shades as well.
Cons: None.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)
Would I Purchase a Full Size: Yes
Final Thoughts: Lines lips like a dream, fills them, reshapes them anything you could ever want from a lip liner, this one delivers. Can be wore alone or paired with a complimenting lipstick.
Mini Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Pillow Talk
Product: Blush
Name of Shade: Pillow Talk
Color: Nude Pink
Finish: Matte
Formula: Liquid
Smudges/Streaks/Runs: No/No/No
Blendable: Yes
Last for: 12+ Hours
Pros: Such a gorgeous blush!
Easy to apply, twist the top to 'open' and squeeze the tube to release beautiful liquid blush to the cushiony soft applicator and dot it onto the apples of your cheeks.
Blends so seamlessly with other makeup and leaves a perfect flush.
It lasts all day long with no need to reapply!
Cons: None.
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 out of 5)
Would I Purchase a Full Size: Yes
Final Thoughts: An unbelievably beautiful blush that gives you a flirty flush and gorgeous glow.
Mini Matte Revolution lipstick in Pillow Talk Original
Product: Lipstick
Name of Shade: Pillow Talk
Color: Nude Pink
Finish: Matte
Smudges/Drying: No/No
Lasts for: 8+ Hours
Pros: The most perfect shade of nude lipstick!
The pigments reflect so beautifully to give lips a fuller appearance with no harsh plumping ingredients.
A super comfortable matte finish that doesn't feel dry or tight.
My lips feel better and smoother after wearing this lipstick.
Lasts for hours without fading, even through a round of golf (seriously!)
And if you aren't looking for a nude shade there are 20+ others to choose from!
Cons: There aren't any!
Would I Purchase a Full Size: YES!
Final Thoughts: There is a reason this lipstick and shade have won so many awards and such recognition: because it is incredible!
The Pillow Talk shade is so fantastically flattering for all skin tones and the formula is unlike any other giving lips such a gorgeous appearance.
TUTORIAL
You can see my video tutorial here
1. Pillow Talk Eyeliner: Trace the Pillow Talk mini liner across the top lash line of your eyes. Start with a few short strokes of color using the side of the liner and then connect them. Use the tip of the liner for a small, precise wing at the end.
Use the same liner to gently trace along the water line of the eyes.
Also run a little bit of the liner between lashes on the lower lash line.
2. Push Up Lashes Mascara + Concealer, Contour & Highlight: Apply several coats of Pillow Talk mascara to top and bottom lashes.
Use a concealer under the eyes to clean up any mistakes.
Run a light brown contour shade between your cheek and jaw bone and blend it out.
Dust a shimmery highlighter on the tops of your cheek bones.
3. Pillow Talk Beauty Blush Wand: Use the Beauty Blush Wand and place a few dots around the apples of your cheeks.
Use your fingertips to blend the color seamlessly into your skin.
4. Pillow Talk Lip Liner & Lipstick: Using the lip cheat lip liner trace along your lip line, reshaping if you feel the need to as you go.
Finally, fill in your lips in with the amazing Pillow Talk lipstick.
Put all these Pillow Talk shades together and we have...
Our finished Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk On the Go Kit makeup look!
Using all the products in the kit can get you a pretty complete look, but I add a few extras.
The Beauty Blush Wand really gives the most perfect flush to cheeks; natural, but noticeable.
