Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Jewel Pot Review & Swatches
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Jewel Pot is a new gel-to-power eyeshadow that launched in two shades a few weeks ago and is available for a limited time. Honestly, I don’t get the limited edition with this launch because I’d totally buy more Jewel Pots in a variety of shades if they offered them! Contrary to reviews I read I loved the formula and would definitely purchase more if they extended the shade range at some point.
So far, I only have Pillow Talk but I want to add Walk of No Shame to my stash as well!
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Jewel Pot ($35 0.1 oz) arrives in a tiny study plastic pot with a sparkly pink lid that gave me Jill Stuart vibes. It’s pretty, princess-y packaging and should appeal to those that love beautiful packaging. The inside jar has a tiny eyeshadow press that protects the eyeshadow when not in use.
This is a light, creamy consistency that applies sheer or builds up for more pop. This formula is softly-pressed so it is prone to a little bit of chunkiness if you press too hard but it’s not a huge deal as it’s easy enough to blend that chunkiness out with your finer tip. I wasn’t personally able to apply using a brush as I felt like I couldn’t pick up color well! I used my finger to gently smooth onto my lid! At first I felt a little disappointed as the color applies really sheer! But you can actually build the color up easily for more pop! A single layer will give you a sheer, sparkly top coat, two layers will give you bolder color, and three will give you tons of sparkle and color. I feel like the product can work on it’s own as an eyeshadow but also, if you want, you can easily use it as a top coat on top of rose, pink, or berry eyeshadows for a bit of pop! I find the formula easy to work with and super easy to blend out. I can easily get all day wear out of the formula without any creasing or fading.
As for the color, that’s gorgeous! Pillow Talk is a rosy nude in the lipstick but this eyeshadow is more of a rosy copper. It’s rather warm with pink and gold sparkly bits. If anyone is a fan of the Japanese brands Lavashuca or KATE this shade is sort of the standard, traditional rose they use in a lot of their pink palettes. It’s very pretty and if you want you can easily pair it up with any other Pillow Talk Palette you own!
All in all, I’m very happy with this purchase and as I said above I’d totally buy more if they decided to extend the shade range.
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Jewel Pot is a must for sparkly eyeshadow lovers!

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Jewel Pot is 0.1 oz in size and $35. It’s presented in a small sturdy plastic pot with a pink sparkly topper and an eyeshadow press located inside to protect to shadow. This formula is best applied with a finger as I struggled a little picking up color with a brush. It’s softly packed and has a creamy consistency that’s very easy to apply and blend with absolutely no fall out issues during application or wear. The color applies sheer on a single layer but a second and third pass will provide more color and sparkle to your look! I find the formula works as either a top coat or an eyeshadow. It wears for eight hours without creasing or fading!
