These Promo Images Are Not Making Me Want to Buy Charlotte Tilbury Limitless Lucky Lips
Um excuse me, Miss Charlotte but these promo images are not making me want to buy the new Limitless Lucky Lips Lipstick. Charlotte Tilbury Lucky Lips are a new range of ultra-matte lipsticks that contain grape extract to keep lips soft and smooth. This velvety lip color promises long, transfer-proof wear, bold color, and a weightless feel. These are available in nine shades, four of which are limited edition shades for $34 each and I’m not convinced I want to buy them.
Hear me out.
I dunno if you noticed but we’re entering into an era where promotional and marketing images are showing real women with real bodies, and real skin that isn’t poreless. It’s a good time to be alive! Don’t get me wrong I enjoy beautiful, perfect promotional images as much as the next person. There’s something appealing about seeing this perfect, flawless advertising moisturizer to me. My logical side realizes that’s not what the product is going to do but my beauty loving side still loves the aesthetic of it all!
We’re seeing a lot of brands embrace a more realistic form of advertising lately and I think I speak for all of us when I say it’s a good thing! But on the downside we run across things like Charlotte Tilbury Limitless Lucky Lips that may just have us thinking, ok, I don’t need this item.
I’m typically pretty excited when early Spring makeup launches roll around from Charlotte. Typically it’s always some new lipstick collection and she doesn’t fail us this year with these new Limitless Lucky Lips Lipsticks. The formula is apparently are super pigmented and ultra-matte but they also promise a light, weightless texture. The only problem is some of the promotional images are a bit cringe for those of us with drier lips. Realistically, no matter you age, you likely don’t have smooth, perfect lips. We all have tiny nooks and crannies that make up the skin of our lips. And yay for Charlotte to show real lips wearing this new formula but oh boy, does the formula look terribly dry. But that’s just facts when it comes to anything matte released in Charlotte’s lipstick world as her formulas tend to fall into the natural lines in your lips or at least that’s been my experience with all her matte lip products and it looks like Limitless Lucky Lips might fall victim of the same if these marketing images are anything to go by.
On the upside this marketing sure did save me money….!
What do you think of these Charlotte Tilbury Limitless Lucky Lips Lipsticks? Am I alone thinking they look dry?
