I discussed in my belated birthday gifts publish that I purchased the Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in Bitch ideal with my Holt Renfrew gift card:
I’ve now had a possibility to wear it for a couple of weeks so I can report back on exactly how I like it.
First off, the packaging is just divine with its increased gold casing in a retro ribbed texture – what’s an added benefit about this detail is that the tube doesn’t roll off a table!
The Charolotte Tilbury name is even etched into the upper part of the casing:
Secondly, the shade name is just so awesome.
Bitch ideal is a warm nude pink with a hint of golden shimmer:
The official name of the lipstick is K.I.S.S.I.N.G. fallen From The Lipstick Tree as well as the formula is expected to safeguard from UV damage as well as include antioxidant from the “lipstick tree” (Bixa orellana seed extract). I would call it a satin finish, not sheer however not high pigment either:
I’ve worn it alone as well as mixed with other lip products – my prefered way to wear this is with Clarins Instant Light natural Lip Perfector. I discover that the formula applies nicely to the lips with opaque colour as well as feels comfortable upon preliminary application. As it wears though, I discover myself feeling the bits of shimmer on my lips, as well, I do discover it progressively drying. When I wear it with the Clarins Lip Perfector, it’s a great deal much more comfortable through the 3 hrs or so wear time. This is what the bullet looks like after being used for a couple of weeks – see the texture from the shimmer:
In my collection, these are the most similar shades to Bitch Perfect:
L to R:
• Prestige Love & Kisses Lipstick in Kiss Me (LE)
• Estee Lauder Pure color in #01 Crystal Baby
• Charlotte Tilbury Bitch Perfect
• Guerlain Rouge G Lip color in #06 Garance
• Buxom Full-On Lip Stick in Amsterdam
Nothing is precise however the Estee Lauder is the closest – it’s more sheer as well as somewhat warmer. For me, out of these, I delight in the formulas of the Estee Lauder as well as Guerlain Rouge G over the Charlotte Tilbury – they are just much more comfortable to wear all day, even without the use of a lip balm underneath. Part of the reason might be the shade I chose having shimmer – I bet the colours without shimmer would feel a great deal smoother. The colour suits me very well though – I even had compliments on my lipstick when I wore it!
Pros
• beautifully presented
• light vanilla scent
• wearable flattering colour
• opaque formula
• feels comfortable upon preliminary application
• lasts for 3 hrs
Cons
• somewhat drying
• shimmer feels a little gritty
Stash worthiness: 8/10
