Any new launch from Charlotte Tilbury is always highly anticipated and there is always a lot of hype surrounding the product.
The BRAND NEW Limited Edition Stars In Your Eyes eyeshadow palette is no exception to this rule. As soon as there were sneak peeks of the palette on social media lots of people were very excited including myself. I have been using the palette for a couple of weeks now and wanted to share my thoughts with you and of course some swatches of all the shades.
If like me the packaging of a product draws you in, then you will love the packaging. The palette is housed in the signature Charlotte Tilbury deep burgundy coloured box with rose gold writing and the box is glittery, now anything glittery draws me in immediately, I love me some sparkle! Then inside, the palette (which is plastic) is the same burgundy colour and is also sparkly, so much sparkle!!
Stars In Your Eyes palette is the new, LIMITED EDITION eyeshadow palette with 4 magical, mood-enhancing eye looks to inspire Love, Power, Happiness and Confidence. With INCREDIBLE colour pay-off, MOLTEN textures and MESMERISING looks for day and night, each of the shades can be dialled up or lightly layered. Carefully curated by Charlotte to put the ‘lights-in-your-eyes’
The packaging doesn't feel flimsy and isn't hard to open, inside the shadows are housed in a rose gold mirrored casing and split into 4 categories, Love Eyes, Happy Eyes, Power Eyes and Confident Eyes, each category contains 3 shadows and each is labelled underneath the shadows. There is a clear plastic covering over the shadows stating which shade is either 1 - Prime, 2 - Enhance or 3 - Smoke which is Charlottes format for how to use the shadows.
Each shadow is 0.7g
The Love Look: 3 rose quartz-inspired shades, with sweet, soft pink hues to reflect the stone of unconditional love. This look is perfect for date night and weddings.
The Happy Look: 3 sun-lit amber shades inspired by one of the world’s most coveted treasures. Apply these energising hues on holiday and nights out for gorgeous happy eyes.
The Power Look: 3 golden shades for a glimmering, molten, mesmeric eye look to take on the world. Be a star in the boardroom with these gilded hues.
The Confidence Look: 3 topaz-ruby inspired shades symbolising fire, heat and purity to empower the wearer with the bold burgundy hues. Apply this enchanting eye look and embrace your wildest dreams!
All the shades are beautiful, gorgeous warm toned bronze, rust and plum toned shades and are definitely my kind of shades, to be honest when I first saw the shades in the palette I didn't think I would like the Confident Eyes shadows or the Power Eyes shadows but once I had swatched them I could see that they are all lovely shadows and ones I knew I was going to love once I had tried them, and I was right, as soon as I used the shadows, I was even more in love.
When I swatched the shadows I was really pleased how they swatched, all bar a couple of them swatched really well with great colour pay off and the two that aren't as great, aren't bad at all, they're just the palest shade which will always be that way when swatching and one is a high shimmer/glittery shade and again will always be the case when swatching but both are brilliant applied to the eye which is what really matters.
My favourite shades are the Love Eyes and the Happy Eyes shades but there isn't a shade I wouldn't and haven't used in the palette which is high praise from me as usually with a 12 shade palette there would be at least a couple of shades I won't like or use. There is a good mix of matte, satin and shimmer shades and all apply and blend beautifully, the colour pay off is fabulous and I haven't experienced any fallout.
The shadows have a fantastic wear time without fading, the longest time I have worn the shadows for is over 12 hours and my eye makeup looked just as good as when I applied it, no fading or creasing.
There are so many looks to create with this palette aside from the 4 suggested looks, all the shades compliment each other beautifully and there are many looks to be created with all the shades in the palette.

Overall Thoughts
I adore this palette, all the shades are stunning, they apply and blend beautifully, the colour payoff is fabulous and they last all day without fading, I honestly can't find anything negative to say about the palette other than it being limited edition it may be difficult to get hold of, but that really is the only negative I can find, it really is a beautiful and extremely wearable palette.
I would say if you do have this palette on your wish list, I would get it as soon as possible as I have no doubt it will sell out very quickly, it is available now on the Charlotte Tilbury Website priced at £60.00 and will be available on Charlotte Tilbury counters on October 11th 2018.
The packaging is stunning, the shadows are stunning, it is simply beautiful.
Have you picked up the Stars In Your Eyes palette? Or is it on your wish list? And which shadow or shadows are your favourites from my swatches?
