It's always big news in the beauty world when Charlotte Tilbury releases a new product, especially a new foundation. Everyone wants fabulous looking skin, whether you prefer a glowy finish or a matte finish and this is something that Charlotte's other foundations can certainly do. So how does the new Beautiful Skin Foundation compare to her previous foundations? I'll tell you all about it in this post.
It's been a while since a new foundation has come from Team Tilbury which is probably why everyone is getting so excited. The Beautiful Skin Foundation has a range of claims including 'Skin Looks More Radiant By Up To 285%, Long Lasting, Pollution Defence, Improves The Look Of Skin With Each Wear' the list goes on. The foundation gives a soft glow, as if you have a filter on your face but in real life. Once powdered of course it gives you more of a matte finish however there's still a muted glow left underneath.

As you can see it leaves a lovely soft focus radiance to the skin which looks great in both real life and photos. I think it works well applied using a brush- ideally a buffering brush or a kabuki brush. Also I love the packaging as it's in a tube with a pump on it, so it's perfect for throwing in your bag and taking with you on the go.
There are 30 shades to choose from, I was recommended shade 2 Warm which is a great match for me right now as my skin is so pale from not going on holiday for 4 years due to covid and other stuff. I think 30 shades is a good amount, so you should be able to find one that suits you. I've worn it all week and I'm very impressed with it! Firstly because the consistency is light, it means that it's very easy to blend into your skin, so you don't get any harsh blending lines, especially when you use a brush. The lasting power (at least after you've set it) is between 7 to 8 hours which is pretty good as it'll last a whole working day or evening out. In terms of the skincare ingredients in the foundation, I don't know how much it helps the look of your skin however my skin has been looking slightly better than usual, so maybe it is doing something to help? Another thing I'm very impressed with is that it covers my under eye circles surprisingly well considering I have very dark circles! Of course it won't cover as well as an actual concealer however if you're in a rush and you need to get your makeup on quickly then it'll more than do.
Have you tried the new Beautiful Skin Foundation? Let me know your thoughts.

L'Oreal have finally released a new line of their Color Riche lipsticks- the L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Shine lipsticks. It has been years since they've brought out a moisturising, shiny lipstick; the last time they brought a line out was when they had the Rouge Caresse range around 2010/2011 which I loved, but sadly that line got discontinued about 5 or so years ago, so I feel like these are their replacement in a way. However are they actually the same lipsticks with the same formula but just repackaged? Well if you want to find out keep on reading!
The packaging of these lipsticks is very chic looking actually in a clear casing with the lipstick being held in a silver bullet tube. I like how you can see the exact colour you are getting inside the lipstick just from looking at the top of the clear lid- that is genius in my opinion! The lid snaps on and off like on the other Color Riche lipsticks, so the lid won't fall off while the lipstick is floating around in your handbag or makeup bag which is great.
Now onto the actual lipstick itself. I bought it in the shade 642 #MLBB which I'm guessing stands for my lips but better, which would describe this shade perfectly as it is a nude shade. In particular this is more of a peachy nude shade, which is not something that I would normally go for however it actually suits me which quite surprised me!
As you can guess from the name of the lipstick, the formulation of this lipstick is very moisturising and slippy but in a good way as it feels like it's nourishing your lips as you are wearing it. The only downside to that is that this lipstick doesn't last very long compared to the original Color Riche lipsticks or even the previous Rouge Caresse lipsticks, so they win on longevity compare to the Riche Shine lipsticks. Another thing to note on these lipsticks is that it does have a fragrance to it which you can sort of taste for a bit once you've applied it onto your lips- it's sort of a synthetic grapefruit scent (I think) but it's not unpleasant, just something worth noting if you are a bit sensitive to products with scents in them. Overall I really do like these lipsticks and I would love to buy a few more from the line. There's a really pretty coral one which reminded me of the Rouge Caresse lipstick in Dating Coral which was my favourite lipstick when I was 15/16 and it lasted me about 3 years even though I wore it a lot, so I'd love to get my hands on that one especially. Let me know if you have tried these lipsticks yet, I'd love to know what you think of them. I'll leave you with some more photos including a swatch of the shade to help you to decide whether you'd like to buy this particular shade or if not then maybe another one.
Thank you so much for reading my latest post
All the best

Hi, how's everything going with you? Me, well I'm not too bad myself thanks and I've been feeling particularly excited to try out some new makeup that I've bought recently. The first product that I bought and was hugely excited to start using was the brand new Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics Eyeshadow Palette which contains 12 never before released and seen matte eyeshadows in a combination of both cool and warm tones, so it's a palette to suit everyone. I first heard about this eyeshadow palette from watching NikkieTutorials do a review and makeup look using the palette and as soon as I saw her use it I just knew I had to buy it, so I hopped onto the Urban Decay website as soon as it was released so I could get it as soon as possible and I'm now so happy I was able to get it without them going out of stock. This will be quite a picture heavy post so sorry if you don't like scrolling through loads of images but I think for this post the photos do the shades justice for the palette, so I thought it was for the best so I hope you like them!
Another thing to note before I get on with the main review is that like with the other previous Naked palettes it comes with a mini double ended brush which is a fab addition to the palette and is especially useful if you are someone who's always on-the-go.
The shades in this palette are very classic neutral shades but there are also a few more interesting colours in shades Lethal, Extra Bitter & Magnet. Lethal is a gorgeous aubergine/purple shade which would be great to use along the lash line to add depth or you could use it in the outer corner to smoke out your eyeshadow look. Extra Bitter is a beautiful Autumnal red/orange brown colour that is just perfect to wear for this time of the year and Magnet is a smokey grey shade even though in the pan it looks more like a blue grey colour. I think it's great that these 3 shades are in the palette because it makes the palette more interesting compared to other neutral palettes out there that tend to look the same really.
The first time I wore these shadows I used 3 of the warmer toned shades from the bottom row of the palette. I first used Faith all over the eye lid, then I took Extra Bitter on the outside corner of the eye and then up into the crease and then lastly I lined the upper lash line with Blackjack and then I just added some mascara to finish the look.
I found that the shadows lasted for a good 5 hours before I removed my makeup. I actually put the eyeshadows on at 6pm and they were still there when I went to remove my makeup at 11pm, but I'm convinced that they would last all day if you wore them from morning to night.
The only negative thing I have to mention about this palette is that even though the pigmentation is good overall, for some reason the cooler shades on the top row don't seem to be as pigmented as the warmer shades on the bottom row do for some reason. It doesn't really bother me too much as I don't mind going back in and adding more eyeshadow on the brush, but still I thought it was something that you should be aware of.
Now onto some swatches
L-R: Blow, Nude, Commando, Tempted & Instinct (I completely forgot to swatch Lethal sorry, but like I mentioned it's a gorgeous purple shade and you can see what it looks like above anyway).
L-R: Blackjack, Magnet, Lockout& Faith (I tried to show Extra Bitter but you can't really see it).
L-R: Extra Bitter & Pre-Game
The brush you get with the palette
They also give you a free sample of the Perversion mascara which is pretty cool. I'll definitely be trying it out some time soon.
I really hope you enjoyed reading this review and I hope it provided you with enough details that you may have wanted to know about the palette. If you do have the palette do let me know what you think of it and also let me know if you think you'll buy this palette after reading this review, I'd love to know your views.
Thanks so much for reading!
