Charlotte Tilbury Eyeshadow Pallette Review.

I got this palette for Christmas so I thought it was about time I finally reviewed it here on my blog! I have mentioned this eyeshadow palette in a favourites video before but I wanted you guys to see some proper photos. I've lusted after something from Charlotte Tilbury's make-up line for ages so my Mum bought me the Vintage Vamp for Christmas, which was rather lovely of her. I decided to go for this one in particular as it was filled with shades that I don't have already- when you have as much make-up as I do you end up with a LOT of neutral palettes! The shades in this are much more red toned which was something a bit different for me, but still wearable.

I literally swoon at the packaging on Charlotte Tilbury's products- they're so art deco and glamorous. All the shadows in this quad are gorgeous quality and easy to blend as well as nicely pigmented. The first shade is a pinky-champagne colour that can be washed all over the lid or used as an inner-corner/browbone highlight. The second is a rich red-brown that can be used in the crease and on the lower lash line, If you want the daytime version of the Vintage Vamp look you can just use these two colours. To vamp it up for the evening Charlotte suggests deepening the crease with the final colour which is a more cool toned red-brown and adding a pop of glitter with that super shimmery gold shadow.

I love this palette so much and think its really handy for travelling as it has a great mirror, is nice and compact and you can do a really wearable day to night look with it.

It's taken me a while to get around to reviewing this Chanel eyeshadow palette as although I really liked it I didn't use it too much at first. I think this is because I have quite a few neutral/bronzey toned palettes that I was in the habit of using everyday without even thinking about it. However, after using this for about a month it's fast becoming one of my favourites!

For one, the packaging is simply DIVINE. Look at it! It's gorgeous, so very glamorous as well as brilliantly compact and easy to throw in your handbag. I find the mirror particularly good for on-the-go touch-ups as its nice and big.

On to the eyeshadows. I've only ever used Chanel's cream eye shadows before so these were a first time for me, they're lovely and buttery as well as nicely pigmented for shimmery neutral shades. The shimmer in them isn't too chunky or sparkly which I liked a lot. They add a lovely light wash of shimmer to the eyes that still looks sophisticated, not glittery! My favourite colour is the second shade on the top row which is far more gold when applied, initially I wondered why there were two light pearlescent shades in one palette but they are quite different when swatched. The orange-bronze is also pretty all over the lid and applied quite heavily under the eye with lashings of mascara.

I got this as a gift and it really is a lovely present to receive, I do think they are worth the splurge if you were buying one for yourself too! I can see myself using this more and more, especially while traveling as you can do a lot with this little palette to take you from a fresh daytime look to something a little bit more sultry!
