I would like to think that when it comes to shopping I am not easily influenced. This was certainly not the case when my brothers girlfriend and I went for a girls shopping day out in London. My brother's girlfriend Emma, is a big shopper through and through. She knows where the best shops are and she pretty much sniffs out a great deal! I knew that going into the Charlotte Tilbury store in Covent Garden was going to be especially dangerous for me though as there are so many things that I had swooned over online! So although I was convinced to buy a lipstick from the 'Hot Lips' collection, I could have left with a lot more damage.
When looking at the 'Hot Lip's' collection online I knew that I wanted the Kim K.W shade. Once swatching it in the Covent Garden store I realised that this shade was really not for me. It was really pale and against my skin washed me out. I thought I was going to leave the shop unhappy until I spotted the shade Super Cindy. I fell in love instantly! If you have read some of my other posts, you may have read that I am on the hunt for a matte lipstick that I can use on occasions that I don't want to wear my Kylie Jenner Lip Kit in Candy K. I think I have found it in this product, although I may actually prefer this!
The shade Super Cindy is a taupey nude that relates back to the classic look of Cindy Crawford. One a pale skin like mine the shade looks like a dark nude which compliments my skin perfectly! The texture is smooth and the lipstick is matte once applied. I love this lipstick and know I am going to get a lot of use out of it in my everyday makeup look.
Oh and how could I forget about the absolutely adorable rose gold packaging?!?! I am a sucker for rose gold, and know that this little beauty is going to look perfect on my dressing table! The lip embossing on the lipstick is also a lovely added extra detail.
I hope you enjoyed this blogpost! Is there anything from Charlotte Tilbury you think I need to own? I know that I want to try out some of their powders soon. Let me know in the comments what you think!
Thanks for reading!

Such a beautiful shade, after reading your recommendation, I am so tempted to purchase one from this range! And the Charlotte Tilbury powder is good, I have the powder in airbrush flawless finish and it's great for setting make up!
