First Impressions
Charlotte Tilbury Wonder Glow- This is probably my favorite product of everything I hauled, and unless it causes any skin issues, will become a staple in my routine. It is such a gorgeous, subtle, golden illuminating fluid that is refined enough that you can easily wear it alone, yet noticeable enough that it will give you a gorgeous radiant glow under or over foundation. When I swatched it, I knew I was going to like it, but when I used it under foundation today? Oh my goodness, I don't care if it's too soon to say, I'm in love.
Color Coded Eyeshadow Quad in The Dolce Vita-Very, very nice. Creamy texture, great pigment; I'm just waiting to see how it holds up in regards to longevity. I love the colors in this palette because they are along the lines of my other favorite quads (Burberry Dark Spice & Guerlain Turandot); a warm, bronzey, rustic harmony that plays beautifully with brown eyes and deep skin.
Cheek to Chic Blusher in The Climax- This is a beautiful, warm bronzey blush; the outer circle is a warm bronze while the pop accent in the center is a peachy coral that adds a bright softness. Pigmentation is wonderful with the blushes; I had to dial it down, as usual lol.
Powder & Sculpt Brush- Not the softest brush I've ever felt, but softer than the majority of the ones I own lol. Where this brush excels, however, is the way its small head tucks easily into the hollows of my cheek, as well as having the ability to pick up powder easily but blend and diffuse it effortlessly.
Light Wonder Youth Boosting Foundation- I got it to work for me by mixing 2 drops of chromatic mix in. It will work much better in the winter, when I get paler, which may not be a bad thing, because I find the formula to be more suitable for normal to dry skin types and colder weather. It's a bit moisturizing, and dries to a skin like finish; depending on what primer and skincare you use underneath, the finish can vary a bit but will be somewhat dewy/skin like regardless.
