Welcome back
There’s nothing quite like the excitement of receiving a surprise gift—especially when it’s from a friend and fellow blogger and is filled with luxury beauty treats!
A couple of months ago, I was pleasantly surprised when a thoughtful gift from Charlotte Tilbury arrived from my lovely blogging friend Georgina. She has been sending out these special gifts as a way to show appreciation for those who support her on social media and in general. It’s such a kind gesture, and I’m so grateful to be among those she’s sent a gift to. Thank you Georgina, for your generosity and for being such a lovely friend and inspiration.
Over the last few months or maybe a year, I'm not too sure, Georgina has been sending the gifts out, and I couldn’t wait to share the excitement of my gift with you all. If you love high-end beauty, gorgeous packaging, and cult-favorite makeup, you’re in for a treat.
First, I am going to share some info about the lovely Georgina.
About Georgina:
Info taken from Georgina's blog She Might Be Loved
I’m Georgina Grogan, a 30-year-old, Sheffield-based, full-time blogger and freelance social media manager. She Might Be Loved was established in 2013, followed by my online magazine, She Might Be, in 2016. I’m a cat mum of three: Anya, Bella and Coco. I’m the owner of the most high-maintenance red hair, where even my bathroom is mostly red and completely makeup-obsessed. I’m disabled, and my official conditions are chronic pain of the spinal region and chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis or CFS/ME for short.
This blog features everything from talking about being disabled to my cats, travels, family life, favourite food, and so much more.
During my two years working in retail at Lush Cosmetics, I wanted to go somewhere where I could share my passions and explore them more. She Might Be Loved was born and has since grown at an incredible pace that blows my mind. Just one year into blogging, I left my day job and became self-employed as a Freelance Social Media Manager for Beauty and Fashion brands and a full-time blogger.
Now, let’s dive into this amazing Charlotte Tilbury box and see what’s inside!
My Charlotte Tilbury Gift Box:
Charlotte Tilbury Mini Collagen Lip Bath Icons:
The Mini Collagen Lip Bath Icons are a lovely set of lipglosses. They aren't full-size, obviously Zoë, they're called "mini" for a reason! They are a good size though and more than big enough. They have a cute heart shaped applicator which applies the gloss nicely and evenly.
The gloss isn't sticky, which for me is everything because I shy away from lip gloss because I can't bear the sticky formula some have where my hair ends up stuck to my lips. it's not a good look and feels awful - yuck!
Refresh Rose isn't clear, it has a little something and gives the lips a lovely shine and can be worn alone or over any lipstick. The mini collagen lip baths are enriched with skin care ingredients, leaving the lips plump and hydrated.
Pillow Talk Medium and Pillow Talk Original have a lovely colour payoff and look great alone or over the top of the corresponding lipstick.
You can find the Mini Collagen Lip Bath Icons set HERE priced at £27.00
Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Stoned Rose:
The lipstick in the shade Stoned Rose is described on the Charlotte Tilbury website as a warm coral rose lipstick with a magic moisturising satin finish. I personally wouldn't describe the shade as coral rose, it's more of a terracotta or burnt orange to me, much darker than coral rose. The finish is lovely, it's a satin finish, and it feels lovely on the lips, hydrating and comfortable and is long lasting too. It's a lovely formula, and the packaging, as with all Charlotte Tilbury, is stunning.

Air Brush Flawless Lip Blur in Walk Of No Shame Blur:
Described by Charlotte Tilbury as a weightless, modern, matte meets moisture liquid lipstick, the air brush effect for your lips, with powder blur technology and hyaluronic acid, the lipstick is said to last 12 hours, and your lips stay hydrated for 24 hours.
The lipstick can be worn blurred or bold, depending on your preference. The applicator is diamond shape and applies the lipstick with ease. The shape of the applicator makes applying the lipstick effortless. The lipstick feels nice on the lips and is not drying at all, which is an issue I have with other matte liquid lipsticks. Adding a small amount and blurring with my fingertip gives a nice flush of colour and lasts really well, it didn't feel drying and gave a gorgeous colour.
Applying the lipstick straight from the applicator gives a beautiful bold lip that doesn't look crusty dusty or feel it. My lips looked and felt hydrated throughout the day and the lipstick did not budge, it has fantastic staying power, even after eating and drinking. The formula is lovely and like nothing I have in my makeup collection, I am definitely going to check out some of the other shades.

Hyaluronic Happikiss Lipstick Balm In Pillow Talk:
The happikiss lipstick balm is described as a next generation multi magic lipstick gloss balm, formulated with hyaluronic acid and c-peptide for hydrated and fuller looking lips, with a fondue-like texture.
Having not tried fondue, I can't comment on the fondue-like texture, but the lipstick balm does feel lovely on the lips and has a beautiful glossy finish. I was shocked at the pigment of the lipstick balm. Most lipstick balm-type products I have tried are only slightly pigmented with a bit of colour, and they never last on me, but the happikiss is a lovely shade and lasted really well, even after eating and drinking.
This is definitely one of my favourite items in the box.

Matte Revolution Lipstick - Holywood Vixen:
Charlotte Tilbury describes the Matte Revolution lipstick in the shade Holywood Vixen as " a nuanced bright red lipstick in my modern matte formula, encased in a red tube!" and I'd say that's a pretty accurate description; the red case is gorgeous, and the lipstick is a beautiful red shade.
I have a mini version of the lipstick, and it is very cute, but for me, a mini is perfect as I don't often wear a red lip, so a full size would more than likely go to waste. I love it when cosmetic companies sell minis, for someone like me who doesn't wear makeup daily, or even weekly, they are perfect as they don't go to waste and I also love them for trying products too.
I recently received the Mini Lip Kit In Pillow Talk Fair as a birthday gift and when asked if I was sure I wanted the mini, I said yes, because I wasn't sure if it would suit me as I struggle with nude lip shades, so it was perfect for me and despite the size of them, the mini lipsticks do last for a decent amount of time.
How lovely is that packaging? It's stunning, as is the lipstick itself.
What a gorgeous shade of red, I love it and it lasts so well, and doesn't feel drying on the lips like some matte formulas do. The lipstick has the hydrating matte formula, so although it gives a matte finish, it feels much more hydrating. These lipsticks are great if you like the finish of a matte lipstick but not the feel.
I struggle with some matte lipsticks as they feel so dry and look really awful on my lips, but I love this formula and will definitely be trying some more shades. I just wish they all came in coloured packaging.
This is another favourite of mine, it's beautiful!
