OK let’s start with the Glowgasm palette in Lightgasm.

This palette has 2 highlighter shades, a highlighting blush, and a bronzer. It looked quite mediocre in the launch photos, but oh boy did it blow my mind away when I tried it. It would be a shame if I diid’t pick this one up!

Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm palette - Lightgasm

Here’s the brand’s description: Charlotte’s complexion-enhancing Glowgasm Face Palette is a Glowgasmic prisma highlight, multi-glow, love blush and bronze for all over ‘love-light’, rainbow-effect skin and eye gilding! It features 4 gorgeous, glowing shades to enhance every skin tone and will bring instant magic to your makeup look.

The swatches photos really don’t do this palette justice. The shimmers are very very find and they blend into my skin so beautifully. It’s the perfect shade combination for pale skinned gals. The blush shade isn’t overly shimmery, so it will work as a blush. The bronzer shade is quite light, so no worries for those heavy handed people.

Overall, its a must have!

Charlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk Eyeshadow palette

Next is the renowned Pillowtalk eyeshadow palette. Charlotte has come out with so many variations of her Pillowtalk shade, and this palette is another great item in this range.

At first I wasn’t sure I wanted this palette, since I normally go for the neutral-smoky eyes rather than soft pink. But in the end I couldn’t resist. I will keep this for very special occasions like weddings when I wear pink.

Below are closeups of each shade in the shade.

And the swatches! They actually lean more beige-brown than pink, so that was a good thing. Much easier to use.

I have heard that some people said it is too dry, and I have to say I agree. The matte shades really are dry, but I feel like you can make them work using eye primer.

A more closeup look: I think you can see that they are a bit patchy.
