I saw that. The problem is she likes everything. I don't think I've ever read a negative review from her.

My order finally came! I got it in this nice box. I ordered late Friday night/Saturday morning and it shipped out on Monday. I ordered everything from the Charlotte Tilbury website and when I called to check on my order someone answered the phone and I also did receive an order confirmation and tracking info. The only issues I had were that Miss Kensington fell out when I opened her and she was a little smushed at the top. Also, the tube for Hepburn Honey won't stay closed. 1975 also came a teeny bit smushed at the top. Everyone was right, the packaging is not top notch but it is pretty. I find that the bronze and glow has the best packaging and feels sturdy. Excuse my pics, I just wanted to throw some quick swatches up in case anyone was interested.

Is that the Medium to Dark Bronze & Glow you got? If so, does the darker side translate well. I can't remember your skin tone but I think you may be a shade or two lighter than me.Swatch time!

Oh my bad, yes, this is the Medium to Dark Bronze and Glow. I am NW43 in Mac, Macao in Nars supposedly 177 in MUFE (never tried the foundation on though- it shows up in my color match). the dark shade looks like a grayish golden color on me. I put it on my face to see and it did not show up as a contour for me. It looks good as an all over the face glow, maybe it would look nice over a tinted moisturizer or something like that. The highlight shade is like a golden peach on my skin, not too orange at all- but both are buildable. If you are looking for a strong contour, this is not it. Hope that helps!

Ahh, we're close in shades. I'm somewhere between NW43 and NW45 in MAC and 175 and 177 in MUFE so yes, that does help a great deal. I was hoping the B&G would be darker *pouts*. Ah well, $70 saved haha. I love the dreamy glow highlight on you though. If only I didn't hate working with creams. The lipsticks are beautiful too, especially that 1975!!!

Ok, good! Yeah, I kind of figured the bronze and glow would not be dark enough, but both colors are very pretty and unlike anything else I have. The Dreamy Glow highlighter is a powder. I don't like creams either! The only thing creamy was the Colour of Youth, which I didn't swatch because I'm not too sure about it yet, but the color looks very pretty. I'm just questioning the longevity of it...
I confess, I bought it for the packaging.

You're welcome. Yes girl, my hand was shaking when I hit "submit", lol. I was like, Damn Gina! Whyyyyy!!! Me and Charlotte are going to break up if she doesn't changer her ways! Yeah, but the highlighter is really pretty and subtle, but you can build it up. If you are looking for more of a super pow, I'd go with Champagne Pop. They look like they are probably similar in color. I just really loved the packaging...Thanks for the swatchesI've been searching high and low for WOC swatches of the highlighter. It looks so nice and expensive lol

Hmm...I bought CP after swatching in store but haven't gotten my hands on it yet. That packaging is gorgeous I agree. And I prefer more subtle easy to apply highlighters. Y'all got me out here shopping all outside my price range, losing my damn mind :haha: I'll probably wait until it's OOO then go on a frantic hunt like I normally do! It would be my most expensive single makeup item ever.
