It's been a while since we've seen a beauty release that sets to revolutionise the way we apply makeup however the new Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand is that exact product we've been looking for! Formulated the same way as the original Beauty Light Wands however made to look matte, this product delivers the blush in the same way but eliminating the result of a glowy cheeked look which is great for those of us who prefer a matte look over an overly shimmery face! I also love that the packaging matches the description in the sense that the main part of the packaging is matte, with only the lid and logo being the traditional Charlotte Tilbury gold. I think it's a nice touch.

As you can see the Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand does have the same sponge applicator as the original wands where you turn the top part of the packaging to 'on' to let the product out once the tube has been squeezed. My application tip for you is to very lightly squeeze the tube as that way you get the perfect amount of product out of the tube. Some people prefer to dot it directly onto their cheek, then blend it out with a brush, while others prefer to dab a bit of the blush onto their hand and then to either use a brush or their hands to then blend the product into the skin, it's totally up to you. I find that option 1 works for me as I have more control blending the blush into the skin.

Pillow Talk! Probably one of the most famous phrases of the beauty world for the last couple of years and now Charlotte Tilbury has expanded the line to include the new Pillow Talk Mascara. Because I love Charlotte's products I had to buy this product, so I bought the travel size as I didn't want to spend my money on the full size if I didn't like it that much!
Now onto the claims that she gives us. This mascara is meant to give 93% voluminous definition, 96% magnified and amplified lashes and it lengthens the lashes by 96%. These are pretty high claims and even though they sound promising, personally I feel that the mascara doesn't live up to all of them. It definitely gives your lashes definition and makes them look really long however it doesn't give you much volume or curl and I think that there are much better mascaras that are cheaper and can provide more than what this mascara gives you. Another problem with it is that it's quite a wet formula, so this means that it transfers onto the upper eye lid easily which is not great. Something that's unique about this mascara is that it has two completely different sides to it, a flat side and a normal pronged side. Apparently you are meant to use both sides to achieve the full affect. I haven't worked out how to use that technique properly and to be honest I can't really be bothered to as I think that using it the normal way with the pronged side does make your lashes look really long which I love!

So do I think it's worth the money? In all honesty, no! It's a nice day time appropriate mascara that gives you so much length to the lashes however for the lack of volume and curl I personally wouldn't recommend it.
I hope you liked my review
See you soon
