Charlotte Tilbury - K.I.S.S.I.N.G - Pillow Talk Fair - 3.5g

I received the Charlotte Tilbury Kissing lipstick in the shade Icon Baby from Influenster absolutely free for my honest review. This is my first time ever trying a Charlotte Tilbury product and I was very surprised how this lipstick came out. So the packaging is very classy just like all her products and on the outside it looks like a completely normal nude lipstick. But once I put the lipstick on I immediately noticed that it has glitter in it. I’m blown away in how good this looks. Let me just say that I’m a sucker for nude lippies but this had the best of both worlds. It almost looks like you have a sparkling gloss on but it comes without the mess and stickiness of a gloss. Is goes perfectly with the lip liner too. I’m so glad I was able to try this lip kit out, ... MoreI received the Charlotte Tilbury Kissing lipstick in the shade Icon Baby from Influenster absolutely free for my honest review.

Which is very expensive and I would not normally buy this product at that price. But that’s what I love about the Influenster app is getting to try out all different kinds of products that I would normally not buy or be able to afford. @influenster @charlottetilbury

I received the Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick and the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat, both in the shade Icon Babe, from Influenster and Charlotte Tilbury in exchange for my honest review. I’m not a big lip liner girl, but these two together are just perfect!! The shade is absolutely beautiful and the lip liner is super subtle and glides right on! The lipstick is such a pretty yet subtle shade, I believe it would work for many different skin tones. It’s not nude and not pink but somewhere in the middle. Definitely not a BOLD color, very subtle and natural looking to the point I could wear this daily, and I’m not a “makeup every day” person (I’m a stay at home mom so I don’t glam up a lot). The lipstick does have a shimmer to it. And because of the shimmer, in ... MoreI received the Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G.

The lipstick does have a shimmer to it. And because of the shimmer, in some lighting, it actually looks really glossy while in other lighting, it looks like a satin finish (I’ve attached some pictures). I did notice that the lipstick did feel a bit “gritty” - but that’s due to the glitter/shimmer in the lipstick. It didn’t bother me, but may bother some. Also I removed it with a tissue and a ton of glitter was left behind (see above picture). When using a makeup wipe, the glitter does not get left behind. Although it felt gritty at some points, it doesn’t feel gritty going on. It’s really smooth and actually feels a bit hydrating for a lipstick! Usually I need a gloss on top or chapstick underneath my lipstick, but this lipstick feels and looks good without either. The packaging is absolutely beautiful, just like all of Charlotte Tilbury’s packaging! Another winner from Charlotte Tilbury!

I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest opinion. This was my first time trying Charlotte Tilsbury lipstick, and also my first time trying the brand altogether. The lipstick was a little gritty, like very fine ‘sand’, but that did not bother me. If you dislike this in a texture, I would not recommend this lipstick. However, the lipstick glides on nice and smooth, and has a slick feel and satin finish. My lips did not feel dried out at all, and the color lasted without chunking up from dryness like some other matte finishes tend to do. I removed one star only for the fact that this particular color (icon baby) did not at all compliment my skin tone. I have cool/neutral undertones, and this color was too light and washed out my complexion. I ... MoreI received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest opinion.

Several times already it seemed to me that I had found my “ideal” nude, but this is probably the same time. All previous attempts tended to turn pink, but this one remains flawless “its own lip color, only better.” Pillow Talk is the brand's best-selling shade and is considered the ultimate nude. Not for nothing - it really is a very right balance of pink and beige. First of all, the texture is very comfortable - despite the matte/satin finish, the skin of the lips is very comfortable and not dry, as with a classic cream lipstick. In addition, the stick glides easily over the lips, easily outlining the contour. The pigmentation of this line is simply super - it easily covers the natural pigment of the lips.

The coating turns out to be very lively - there is no feeling of clay. They also treat dryness and flaking of the lipstick normally, in the sense that they do not emphasize them (apparently there are a lot of moisturizing components in the composition). Unless Pillow Talk can highlight these types of imperfections due to its light shade. Longevity is 4 hours, but I highly recommend wearing them on a pencil - they will last the whole working day if you eat lunch carefully.

Bought Three love 2

I purchased Rose to Fame, Icon Baby, and 90's Pink. Rose to Fame and 90's Pink are very creamy long lasting (for a cream lip) and very close to my natural darker mauve lip color. Comfortable and look really gorgeous on. I dont really need a lipliner with these two. Now for Icon Baby. It took me a long time to decide between Candy Chic and icon baby and im a little disappointed. While Icon is a really beautiful color (think pillow talk just a bit warmer) and the lippie looks lovely on, it has this micro glitter in it. Which is fine. I dont mind a shimmer done right in a lipstick by all means. But! Its a little bit gritty. Its not bad at all that's not even my main complaint about it. I can deal with that.

I dont mind a shimmer done right in a lipstick by all means. But! Its a little bit gritty. Its not bad at all that's not even my main complaint about it. I can deal with that. The issue is, I am left with teeny microscopic glitters all over my upper lip, under my lip, chin, every bit of peach fuzz around my nose and lip area and even over to the cheek. No!! And it clings! This happens when you wipe or dab your mouth or talk! So trying to get the little glitters off destroys your makeup. And youre left with glitter bukkake on your face. And when you go to remove the icon baby, the glitter is still on your lips it doesnt budge! And its drying its glitter. Im not exactly mad at it, its a very fine glitter, and its very pretty on the lips. But it would have been nice to know that this shade was a different girl than the others so I could've made a better decision to my lipstick desires. I wouldve got Candy Chic or Red Carpet Pink and I will. I will still wear Icon Baby but with caution. Charlotte, you need to properly advertise your glorious lipsticks when theres a weird glitter in ONE shade out of 5. Because you cant see it in the photos either. My only gripe is that. Otherwise the other 2 are fantastic. So if you dont want glitter on your face steer clear of Icon Baby for the lighter pinks and get Candy Chic or red carpet pink instead. This formula and the new pinks are 5 star but i had to knock a star off for no mention of that glitter in icon baby and the problems its caused.

Genuinely moisturizing, but not sparkly, lipstick!

Finally! A lipstick that claims to be moisturizing that is actually . . . moisturizing!This is a great lipstick, which doesn't surprise me as I've been happy with almost everything from Charlotte Tilbury!It's quite moisturizing (as mentioned), is not shiny (if you like a lip gloss look, this isn't what you're looking for) and has very good staying power. I put it on in the early afternoon (when I got it) and when I got ready for bed, I noticed that it was still on (and also, it was on uniformly-it did not come off unevenly) and I had had dinner since I had first put it on.The biggest thing, though, is, at least in this color, it really is moisturizing. I've gone through so many lipsticks that are advertised as moisturizing, when in fact they are drying!This ... MoreFinally!

I think it would look very nice on people with different complexions, but I don't really know.Also, can't write this review w/o mentioning that I only buy cruelty free and Charlotte Tilbury is, so that's great. And, finally, this isn't really a big deal for me, but the case is quite elegant and well designed/made ( a nice sturdy metal of some kind)

Great formula, shades not so good

This is my favourite formula from Charlotte and it really is excellent. Non-drying, flattering for older lips, and they have a good stable life in use (quite a few lipstick formulas go stale in months then irritate my sensitive lips - I no longer buy many brands because of this). The only downside is that Charlottes colours tend to pull very warm. I used Glowing Jen - a 'tawny beach rose', - but there was no rose on me, it was pure tawny brown instead. I still finished it because the formula is great. I'd love to see genuinely cool tones in this, but there is only one (Velvet Underground) out of 10 shades. I've tried a few of the others but they all apply brown or orange on a cool skin tone. Even the new Hollywood range has no cool pinks that aren't pale and nuded ... MoreThis is my favourite formula from Charlotte and it really is excellent.

Come on Charlotte, can we have something like Secret Selma in this please? Now that is a rare pink of hers that looks pink, and stays pink on the lips!

Holy grail shade

I almost didn't buy this shade, because I was afraid it'd be too dark or vampy. But I've bought two at this point - I've never repurchased a lipstick. I think the description of this is 100% accurate - the tone is cool, but it has a bit of rose thrown in, so it doesn't look dead on the lips. This doesn't have any brown tones - i feel like it's so hard to find lipsticks without brown/beige/'neutral' tones in them!I wear no or minimal makeup on a daily basis, and i almost always feel like a clown when wearing most lip colors. But i am wearing this every day, both with no makeup and with a minimal makeup style. It's so beautiful. I love it with a very light application and with more of a full application. I even wear a swipe to the gym to give my face some life. I ... MoreI almost didn't buy this shade, because I was afraid it'd be too dark or vampy.

I even wear a swipe to the gym to give my face some life. I don't wear liner with it.If you like cool tones but don't want to look dead, you might give this a chance. I'm not sure photos of the color are useful since everyone has a different lip color, which means every lipstick looks different on everyone. So all I'll say is that 1) i found the shade description to be accurate, and 2) it isn't too dark or vampy for light skin tones, as you can build it up. No problems with transferring to my teeth.My favorite way to apply this is to first apply a colorless chapstick/balm and then build this on top. Then i rub my lips together in a way that slightly pushes the lipstick outside of my lip lines, which gives my lips a slightly larger look but in a very natural way.

I prefer Rose, but 90s is beautiful!

Very pretty color that's a little hard for me to describe, as it pulls nude when swatched, but pulls more pink on the lips (which makes sense, since my lips are pink lol). For that reason, it'll look different on everyone - we all have different lip colors. So hopefully the swatches on white will be more helpful than my description.I do prefer rose to fame for myself (i left a longer review for that one, search for it by shade if you're interested), but i like this one, too. It looks like a nude in the tube (not my thing), and i think my swatches show that it does have some slight nude-y tones, but i hate brown / orange lipsticks on myself, and yet this one does work for me.

I mostly came here to post the comparison images, since i found it very difficult to compare Rose to 90s based on the photos provided. If you're not that into nude tones and want a pretty MLBB look (light application) that you can build into a deeper color if desired, then I'd say Rose is a safer buy. 90s is warmer and does have a nude vibe, though it is still a pink - i think it'll look best on me when i have a bit of makeup on. Rose has no detectable nude tones to my eye - no browns or oranges, and i love that color both with and without makeup.I'm not great at swatching, but i hope this helps someone! Sorry for the useless ramble above lol

Icon Baby- an icon indeed

I LOVE everything about this lipstick. I got the shade Icon Baby and one thing to note that surprised me as it is not advertised for this shade, is that it is a shimmer/sparkle formula. I was expecting it to be like the other Satin Shine lipsticks so this surprised me when I first used it. However, when the product goes on your lips it gives the most beautiful, juicy, healthy shine. You cannot actually see any shimmer or glitter in the finish even though its sparkly in the tube. When it hits the lips, there is no grit or glitter whatsoever just a gorgeous luster. It wears very nicely throughout the day, no chapping, drying or flaking. In fact, I like the wear on this shade better than the typical Satin Shine lipsticks.

It wears very naturally throughout the day and keeps the lips well moisturized. The color itself is beautiful, truly a neutral pink as described. The perfect pink.
