I've just received a pre-sale link email. Tempting.

I'm just looking at it too! I love CT palettes and this looks lovely, but I feel I already have these shades in my Naked palettes. I'm torn! I think I might leave it and read reviews - I'm sure they'll put it back on sale again.

I came on to ask this very question! The colours look beautiful and you could get so many looks from it. I'm tempted........ Sixty quid though. Ouch.

DaisyRenton18 · 21/09/2017 19:34

I caved, on the grounds that I was going to buy myself one her £40 quads and 12 for £60 seemed like a bargain Grin and I'm weak BlushHmm

I'll report back when it arrives. I think they're coming back on sale first week of October?

Housewife2010 · 21/09/2017 19:38

Daisy. That is my type of logic.

I've just ordered it. Here in NZ it works out to be the same price as an UD Naked or Nars palette so it doesn't seem that pricey to me #justifications

violetbunny · 22/09/2017 03:06

Yep I just ordered it. Also in NZ - Zachary is spot on about the pricing here.

christmasunicorn · 22/09/2017 07:31

I looked at it, sorely tempted, but then realised for £60 it doesn’t even come with a brush and that just put me right off
I’ll put it on my Christmas list though

Housewife2010 · 26/09/2017 07:15

Has anyone received it yet?What do you think?

Yup I got mine. Good quality, like the pigmentation... haven't had a chance to wear it yet but all the colours look wearable, no duds in here.

DaisyRenton18 · 26/09/2017 20:04

Mine arrived today. Not had chance to test it properly but swatched quickly onto to the back of my hand.

Pigmentation of the shimmery colours is gorgeous. Really pleased with those. Matte ones need a little more but seem like lovely colours - like violetbunny says, every single shade looks wearable (I'm fair with blue eyes). I'll test it tomorrow properly at work. Case looks gorgeous, but it's not as robust as the Naked palettes - although Charlotte says this is ideal for travel, I wouldn't be putting it in a bag where it could be knocked around. I might pack it carefully into a well packed weekend bag, but it definitely wouldn't be one I'd throw into my handbag.

Housewife2010 · 26/09/2017 20:16

Thank you. I resisted but I'll probably succumb for my birthday in a few weeks.

Does anyone else wonder where Charlotte Tilbury sprung from in such a big way. Really sick of being bombarded when there are better products out there without the cheap gold packaging. Very overpriced don't fall for the hype. Most of the high profile beauty bloggers are paid off by her to push the brand. Shame.....

blakening · 27/09/2017 01:29

I saw several positive reviews on it. I'm more interested with their lipsticks. And yes, I think the products are overpriced. But I ordered a couple of lippies so I can try.

CruzRamirez · 27/09/2017 13:04

Vass CT has been famous as a MUA for years so I guess the launch of her own range was a big deal.

vasseve1 · 27/09/2017 15:02

Yes Cruz a massive deal by the look of it called in all the favours. She is a bit old fashioned as a make up artist. If people are willing to spend that amount of money go for Chanel. Gorgeous products in every range.

Housewife2010 · 27/09/2017 21:54

I've been disappointed with some of the Chanel makeup. The Les Beiges powder developed a greasy coating and the eyeshadow stick creased. In comparison I love the Charlotte Tilbury Glow Instant Palette and Pillow talk lipliner.

I agree Vass my friend has worked with her and doesn't rate her at all.

Pomegranatepompom · 27/09/2017 21:58

apparently not nice either ... I won't buy her products.

vasseve1 · 28/09/2017 00:27

Absolutely Pomegranate.
