MAGICAL CHARLOTTE TILBURY ||
11:32
The Magic Cream came as a sample in the Charlotte Tilbury advent calendar and gift boxes last year and I hadn’t heard too much about it from fellow bloggers so there was never any rushed desire to use it up. I keep a makeup bag full of travel sized products in my bathroom ranging from shampoos, hair masks, face masks and lotions and potions as they’re always good when you go away on holiday or for mini weekend breaks. I took the Magic Cream moisturiser in a quick last minute dashed packing frenzy and once i’d used it, my makeup had never looked so good. My face is a bit of a complex thing,in some places it’s oily with blemishes and in other places it’s dry and very dehydrated and it’s been quite the journey discovering the best products to use on my skin. The cream is quite thick, in fact it’s probably the thickest moisturiser i’ve ever used and I’m sure that might scare a few people away initially, but it worked wonders for me, and two sample pots down I now have the full size sitting with pride of place on my vanity unit. Charlotte states that she has been mixing this cream for over 20 years to perfect it for her clients. Going by the description on the website, it includes ingredients like bionymph peptide complex which is a unique, patented anti-age ingredient that multi-tasks in the skin, fighting the ageing process, sodium hyaluronate which forms a film of hyaluronic acid over the skin to seal in moisture, whilst extracts of wild pansy promote the renewal of hyaluronic acid in the skin surface to retain moisture leaving your skin feeling dewy and plump! There’s also a mix of rose hip oil, camellia oil and anti-oxidant vitamin e to transform a grey complexion into hydrated, mirror-shine skin, nourishing vitamin a to help improve skin firmness and smoothness and energetic vitamin c to promote collagen activity for more youthful skin. We aren’t done yet, it also includes damask rose water and organic aloe vera to benefit skin regeneration, fighting the signs of ageing (no harm in starting that now at 21). There are extracts of frangipani to form a soothing, purifying and hydrating comfort-blanket on the skin and It’s also worth noting that it contains no paragons.
As the only other things i’ve truly trialled and tested in this haul, I thought it would be worth mentioning the Lipsticks! Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks are one of my favourite high end formulas. Setting you back £23 a pop, you would expect them to be nothing but amazing. Besides the beautiful and decadent packaging; the colours, the formulation and the wear of the lipsticks is what makes them worth every penny. Which is why, along with many other things i’m excited to get stuck into and smear all over my face, there are now two more additions to my overgrown lipstick jungle in my makeup drawer.
