Charlotte Tilbury The Magic Skin Trilogy Arrives

Charlotte Tilbury The Magic Skin Trilogy

So I finally took the plunge and I hauled myself some Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream! The promise of “Wake Up To The Best Skin Of Your Life” plus the many blog ravings about this miracle cream proved to difficult for me to resist and I took the plunge.

Well, technically, I took a triple plunge as I got the Charlotte Tilbury The Magic Skin Trilogy which not only includes the original Magic Cream but also the brand new Magic Night Cream as well as the Magic Eye Rescue.

This set is $285 and includes three full size moisturizers two of which are brand spanking new.

You get:

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream
The magical ingredient BioNymph Peptide is a genius, patented anti-ageing hero that may stimulate collagen, fight free radicals, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and boost skin elasticity.
Powerful anti-oxidant Vitamin E naturally helps to heal skin and reduce inflammation for a clear, model-like complexion.
Frangipani nourishes and soothes the complexion.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Night Cream
The rich texture of my cream-elixir contains a live second skin Red Algae Marigel, which is rich in Calcium and Magnesium, for smooth, soft skin with a protective barrier against environmental and ageing damage. Winter Daphne Stem Cell Extract benefits the binding of skin cells to mimic the skin�s natural structure for a more youthful-looking, firmer-feeling complexion.
Olus Oil gives the cream-elixir its soft, velvety touch and rich texture. Caster seed oil has super moisturizing powers and is rich in fatty acids for cashmere-soft skin.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue
Age-defying Botanical Eye Contour Complex contains rice & soy peptides, plus yeast protein, which help to brighten dark circles, reduce puffiness and improve skin texture.
Skin-savior Saccharide Isomerate is like an isotonic energy drink for your skin! It has water-retaining properties, which after long-term use may help with smoother and firmer beautifully soft skin. Time Released Retinol molecules are another anti-age hero that help to boost the rejuvenation process of skin cells, whilst stimulating collagen production through out the skin to appear younger and more radiant, as if lit from within.

Purchased indivdually the trio would set you back over $300 so you get a little bit of a savings buying the set. I couldn’t resist. This was a little To Me, From Me kinda gift. If you’ve ben wanting to try out the Magic Cream yourself now would be a good time to do so in this limited edition set.

Get it now at www.charlottetilbury.com.

Review upcoming on each after I test them out!

Revlon ColorStay Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palettes for Spring 2016

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Revlon ColorStay Not Just Nudes Palette

Revlon ColorStay Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palettes for Spring 2016 have arrived! These new Revlon Eyeshadow Palettes include 10 shades of eyeshadow each. Earlier last Summer, the Maybelline the Nudes Eyeshadow Palette launched for Fall 2014 and has since introduced several color variations on this 12 pan eyeshadow palette. For me, this was a nod to the very popular Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette as the drugstore was sadly lacking in such large palettes like this.

Since that time the L’Oreal La Nude Palettes as well as the newer Covergirl TruNaked Eyeshadow Palettes have launched for Spring 2016 and now we’re getting a bit of a bigger palette from Revlon too.

I love the fact that more and more larger eyeshadow palettes are launching at the drugstores however, the prices aren’t always as budget friendly as I would like. Revlon Colorstay Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palettes are $14.99 each (However, they are Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off at Ulta.com at the moment) which is quite hefty considering they have two less eyeshadows than Maybelline’s version which can be purchased at $9.99.

The Revlon Colorstay Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palette are available in two shade selections of Passionate Nudes and Romantic Nudes. Passionate Nudes contains the more standard range of nude shades like browns, golds, bronzes, beiges, etc…where as Romantic Nudes is more of a smokier palette with taupes, purples, and a few brown and beige shades.

I’ll be reviewing these shortly so stayed tuned.

Revlon Colorstay Not Just Nudes Eyeshadow Palette are available now at Ulta.com and should be launching soon at drugstores.

What do you think of these?
