Charlotte Tilbury #Glowgasm Collection

Charlotte Tilbury #Glowgasm Collection Review Swatches

There are only two brands in which I can list, that have in recent years created their own look, true identity and perhaps even methods of make-up application: Glossier for their stripped-back, barely-there approach and Charlotte Tilbury for their glam, almost-90's supermodel aesthetic. Admittedly I have time for both approaches but if I'm entirely honest I'm a Charlotte Tilbury fan girl and fawn over most products launched by the queen of glowing skin, none more so than the recent Glowgasm collection.

The slogan for the Glowgasm collection is "Light Up Your World" and the two new Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Face Palettes. Each kit contains four, gloriously, glow-y powders that can be used on the face and eyes for all over radiant look. There are two colourways to choose from: Lightgasm (for light/medium complexions) and Lovegasm (for medium/deep complexions), each of which have been tailored matched to compliment a wide range of skin tones.

Sure you've tried other Charlotte Tilbury highlighting powders, blushes and bronzers in the past but the formulation this time around is completely different. Yes each powder within the Glowgasm Face Palettes is pressed but it has an almost gel like texture that melts into the skin and creates a foil like finish. If you enjoy the MAC In Extra Dimension Powders and/or the Estée Lauder Gelee Highlighters, I have a sneaky suspicion you won't be able to get enough of the Glowgasm Face Palettes. You can find both of the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Face Palettes here for £60 each - link.

Speaking of highlighters, for those who gravitate towards liquid formulations then you may want to bookmark the three (yes three!) new shades of the ever raved about Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Wand. This easy to apply, blend and store liquid highlighter is incredible diverse; depending on the shade, wear on your cheekbones for a subtle, uplifting glow, apply to the cheeks in lieu of blush or go all out and dab a smidgen onto your eyelids - the uses are endless with a little imagination. The three new and sadly limited edition shades of the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Wands are: Pinkgasm (a rosy-pink hue with a golden undertone, not entirely dissimilar to NARS Orgasm), Goldgasm (a true yellow gold) and Peachgasm (a muted and again yellow toned peach tone). You can find all existing shades of the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Wands here for £29 each - link.

For a moment, I didn't realise that the Charlotte Tilbury Dreamgasm Eyeshadow Palette existed as I was blinded by the beauty that is the two Glowgasm face palettes. If you enjoy warm, slightly pinked eyeshadows then you are in for a treat as this neat little compact, contains two rosy bronze hues coupled with a light, neutral highlight shade and one perfectly formed, beach-ready bronze. I'm sure the swatches speak for themselves but much like every Charlotte Tilbury palette I have tried over the years this applies, blends and wears perfectly- sure it isn't cheap but the quality is more than there.

Cream eyeshadows often get a bad rap, sometimes they are too sheer, generally tricky to apply, crease too quickly or all of the above. I get it but before you cast off any entire beauty category, may I urge you to try the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise formula. Not only is each shade beautifully pigmented but the cooking formulation quickly and effortlessly slicks onto the skin, delivering a true and shimmering wash of colour that stays put for hours. The two new additions joining the Eyes to Mesmerise line up for a limited time only are: Rose Gold (a true, yellow based rose gold hue) and Star Gold (a bold, bright, copper). On certain skin tones, both shades can double up as cream highlighters too. Find them both here for £22 each - link.

Due to really random and dare I be dramatic, pretty severe allergies, I am actively avoiding anything that promises to plump the lips - I'm sure nothing would happen as this is a collagen based product but really I can't be too careful. As such I hope you'll forgive me for the lack of swatches and trust my word when I say that the Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Baths (or at least the ones I've tried in the past) are nothing short of luxury. Think of them as the collision of lip balm, plumper, tint and gloss all rolled into one neat little package; the gentle formula hydrates, plumps and adds both a slick of sheen song colour in one swift move. The two, new and limited edition shades are: Peachy Plump (a medium, almost coral Peach with golden reflects) and Rosy Glow (a dusky, rose gold with a purple shift). Find both shades for £25 each here - link.

Do I wish deep down that there was a #Glowgasm lipstick within this collection? Yes but otherwise, it is utter perfection and one that is truly inclusive both in variety of shades and formulations. If you like glowing skin (and who doesn't) then I highly suggest you grab the limited edition Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm whilst you can.
