Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Review

I recently purchased this in the shade Pillow Talk Fair and it’s quickly become my new favourite lipstick. Obviously being Charlotte Tilbury it has beautiful packaging and at $64 it would need to. It comes in a beautiful gold metal tube and while it looks like a matte formula it is actually quite creamy on the lips. I get very dry lips and this leaves them feeling hydrated and the colour lasts for hours. While I won’t be buying it in every shade due to cost if you’re looking for a little bit of luxury in your makeup routine then this is definitely worth the splurge.

I have the Pillow Talk shade and it matches my lip colour perfectly. It feels nice and even though it’s matte, my lips don’t feel dry afterwards, in fact, they feel better. I only have to reapply after eating or drinking and it has a subtle smell, not necessarily fragranced but not unpleasant. The bullet is a nice shape for applying and I don’t need a few layers as it’s opaque immediately.

The packaging is luxurious and sturdy, and the magnetic close is convenient. The only sad thing is that you can start to see some scratches on the ridges as it gets knocked around in my handbag a fair bit because I use it almost daily for work. Sometimes I layer a lighter shade on top in the middle of my lips.

I had heard so much raving about Bitch Perfect and I decided to get it. It's described as a peach toned creamy nude which is pretty accurate. It does have a bit of a pinkier undertone on some people but on me it's a peach nude. It's a good my lips but better for in the peachy tones for me. I can wear this shade without makeup and my lips don't look over done but it also really compliments a darker smoky eye. The packaging is so elegant. Beautiful gold, casing that feels a sturdy and the cap clicks firmly on and isn't going to come off in your bag. The formula is creamy and moisturizing, it doesn't drag or stick to dry patches. Now as far as lasting power goes it does transfer if I eat with it on I will need to reapply it. That being said since the color is more nude it doesn't stand out as much when it comes off. I wouldn't say this is my favorite high end formula for a lipstick but I do like it and it does feel luxurious and the color is beautiful. I would recommend this if you don't mind splurging and love a particular shade and know you're going to reach for that shade a lot.

Charlotte Tilbury is fast becoming one of my favourite makeup brands, the stunning packaging is always a delight and the products are always of high quality, and this lipstick is no exception. I love the matte revolution lipsticks so when I was ordering another one of those I decided I wanted to try one from the K.I.S.S.I.N.G range. I bought this in the shade 'bitch perfect' it looked the perfect darker nude for me.

The packaging of this is stunning, the mirrored rose gold coloured casing is grooved and weighty, with the CT logo imprinted in the top of the lid.

The formula is so creamy and buttery it's easy to apply and doesn't drag or pull across your lips when you apply it.

The colour is a pinky darker nude, this is the perfect shade for my medium complexion, so many nudes are too light, but this is simply b*tch perfect.

The staying power of this though lets the whole lipstick down, it transfers so easily and disappears so quickly even without eating and drinking. For a relatively expensive lipstick it's quite disappointing. I find I'm applying it every half hour to every hour. As much as I love CT products I'm not overly impressed with this lipstick. I wouldn't repurchase and I much prefer the matte revolution lipsticks.

I have worn Charlotte Tilbury Bitch Perfect almost everyday for the past 6 months. It is luxurious, in sturdy rose gold packaging. Inside is a smooth and creamy (but not too creamy) tube of a nude that compliments my skin tone perfectly. The lipstick screams high end luxury. I wear Bitch Perfect over the Pillow Talk lip liner. This lasts 5-6 hours before fading back to my natural lip colour, without going patchy or leaving a line. This is my favourite everyday combination and it leaves my lips in the condition they were to start with - no dryness or irritation. This lipstick could go over any lip liner, and on it's own it would be slightly more sheer and not quite as long lasting. Despite the price tag I will be repurchasing this lipstick because it is the perfect shade and it is worth not having to smother my lips in lip balm every evening.

I was heading to England and needed some beauty brand recommendations so I asked the lovely BR girls on the forum. There were a couple of suggestions for Charlotte Tilbury so away I went with the brand name on my list. I first came across a Charlotte Tilbury counter at Selfridges and fell in love. The products were beautiful and were presented well and I ended up buying four lipsticks. I got the shades Amazing Grace (which is a matte finish), Bitch Perfect, Stoned Rose and Velvet Underground. The boxes the lippy's come in are amazing but the packaging of the lipsticks is beautiful. It's a lovely heavy rose gold textured bullet and it looks good. The lipsticks go on well and feel really nice. They wear well (the matte more than the others) and I can go through a whole day of eating and drinking and only have to touch up 2-3 times. In terms of quality and wearability these lipsticks have it all. They are my first choice to wear and now I will only wear my CT or MAC lipsticks because I just can't be bothered with anything else. Yes these lipsticks are expensive but honestly they are worth every single cent.

I have been lusting after a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick for a while... make that lusting after any Charlotte Tilbury product. Everything she does looks amazing and I would be happy to own any of it! Unfortunately the price just managed to put me off at any turn. However there was a point where I just caved... thankfully for Beautylish.com I was able to buy Charlotte Tilbury with no issues and it got shipped to NZ for free! I picked up the shade Bitch Perfect. I wanted an everyday shade as when you spend a lot of money on a lipstick it is good to be able to use it often.

The packaging is as you would expect for a high-end product... rose gold and beautiful. It even feels luxurious just to hold. The lip stick casing is a rose gold coloured metal with lines down the side and stamped with a CT on the top. The lid snaps on securely. Everything about this lipstick oozes classic beauty.

I love the shade I chose (Bitch Perfect), it is an everyday nude darker peachy pink on me and I think it really suits my skin-tone. It smooths onto the lips really easily and feels nice a creamy. Because of the creamy finish I don't find that it lasts particularly long on my lips though which was a wee bit disappointing. I didn't find that this colour bled on my lips at all.

Although I really do adore this lipstick I don't know if I'll honestly be buying more. The price is just a bit of a turnoff but I am really happy with the one I have!
