If you're looking for a translucent powder, the Soap and Glory "One Heck of a Blot" is quite good. A bit more expensive than the Rimmel powder but it's a great powder, sturdy packaging (complete with a mirror) and available in most Boots

it looks amazing on you! (your skin looks flawless) I have B10 (so beige I guess) It might be the pink toned one I need! I've typical Irish skin (pink basically) but can have slight redness in areas. Thanks so much for posting the picture/reply. I definitely want to keep the foundation!
Thank you! I also get red around my nose and chin, so I use the foundation with Max Factor primer under and Mac Mineralise powder over, and just a scrape of Mac Pro Longwear concealer where needed and it seems to be my dream team of products! It's great coverage without looking caked on.
I use a stippling brush to apply, found my buffing type one didn't work as well.
I am now on a beauty ban
January shall be a lean month! 0 -

Personally the Charlotte tilbury line puts me in mind of Constance Carroll that you buy in pound shops.
The packaging is cheap, plastic and very 80's for my liking.
I actually don't know what I'd have to do to be on a third lip liner from an only recently launched line.... Writing Christmas cards maybe?

But have you used the products?0 -
I got a couple of Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks for Christmas. I quite like the gold packaging - it's different to my usual black MAC or Bobbi Brown lipsticks. I think it has a 1940's vibe.
The colours I got were Nude Kate and Coachella Coral. I love both; they're creamy and glide on for good coverage but don't feel heavy or drying. I wore the Coral one to a party and was drinking wine but it didn't come off on the glass and when it eventually faded it did so very evenly. I've gotten lots if compliments on the colours and gave already passed on the names to friends who want to check them out for themselves.
I'd love to try out some of her eyeshadow pencils. Anyone here tried them?
If you're in Brown Thomas Dublin, her line is not currently with the other cosmetics, it's upstairs on the same floor that has the glass walkway to the car park 0 -

The line was launched in Brown Thomas in September or thereabouts in 2014 but its been available in the UK for longer (not sure how long)0 -

There's a section upstairs but she also does have a counter on the ground floor. It's behind NARS0 -

It's actually fantastic to hear you all talking about liking CT products. It's hard to know sometimes how transparent bloggers are being when they're hyping a product, but to hear praise from you guys is much more reliable! I don't get to Dublin very often but I think the next time I'm up, I'm just going to have to treat myself to one of her products. 0

Love the look of her makeup line I actually love the packaging but it's all sooooo expensive! Would love to try her range out though especially the bombshell set but at €185 it's waaay out of my budget. It's valentines soon so maybe.....0 -
