Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Eye and Blush Duo. I picked up this kit during the summer sale. I actually thought that it was on sale for a larger discount than it was. The discount is actually 20% and its one of her normal bundles . There are a bunch of different bundles offered on her site that allow you to try more than one of her products at a discount. I was going to return it since I thought that I purchased it at 40% off but decided to just keep it since I've wanted to for a while. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on this duo!

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Eye & Blush Duo $74.40

As I mentioned above, this bundle is a 20% savings vs buying the two products separately. You save $18.60. You are also able to choose between the Original Pillow Talk Blush and the Pillow Talk Intense Blush. I have both blushes so I will share swatches and reviews of each below.

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Luxury Eye Palette $53.00

Here is what is said about this product on the Charlotte Tilbury site:
"A nude-pink eye palette for a gorgeous neutral smokey eye. The globally loved, Charlotte’s best-selling Pillow Talk shades are enriched with pearl pigments for a dreamy lustre while Glossy Easter gives a silky-smooth feel. The result? Bejeweled eyes that dazzle, delight and hypnotize.

I have bottled the magical light play of diamonds and jewels to create 4 shimmering, shine-bright, eye-glowing shades that go on like silk and gild your eyes with an otherworldly, enchanting, metallic POP of Pillow Talk magic.

WHAT MAKES IT MAGIC?

• A beautifully pretty feminine, every day eyeshadow palette that gives a natural, effortless finish.
• 4 color-coded, universally-flattering shades enhance all eye colors.
• Universally-flattering shades suit everyone aged 18-80.
• Features 2 rich, matte shades and 2 satin, shimmer shades.
• Ideal if you want an easy-to-use eyeshadow routine that will take you to any occasion."

Here is a close up of the palette:

Here are swatches of the shades:

On to my thoughts:
Just like with the Exagger-eyes palette that I purchased, these shadows are pretty but nothing extraordinary. However, the way that these 4 shades work together just create the most pretty look. I do wish that the matte make "Smoke" shade was a bit darker. The "Pop" shade does show up a bit more than in the Exagger-eyes palette. This palette allows you to create a super easy look that can be worn both day or night. I feel like I will get a lot of use out of this palette. Price wise I wouldn't pay full price but getting this palette on sale or in a bundle I feel like it is more worth it. 

Cheek to Chic Blush in Original Pillow Talk $40.00

Here are swatches of the blush:

On to my thoughts:

These blushes are really so nice! They are pigmented and blend so smoothly into the skin. There is a bunch of fall out in the pan but that normally happens with soft blushes and shadows. The instructions say to swirl the outer blush shade and apply to cheekbones. Next, tap the inner color on the apples of your cheeks and temples of your face. I find it a little difficult to use them separately like that with a blush brush but using the inner shade in those two areas does highlight them and give them more of a glow.  I feel like this shade works really well with my skin tone and gives a natural flush to my cheeks. Its a nice light pink that isn't TOO pink or TOO bright. I think I will reach for this blush a ton.

Cheek to Chic Blush in Pillow Talk Intense $40.00

Here is what is said about this product on the Charlotte Tilbury site:

"Fall in love with MORE Pillow Talk magic! Darlings, dial up your Pillow Talk glow with my NEW! Cheek to Chic blush in Pillow Talk Intense! This deep rosy-pink powder blush adorns your cheeks with a sweeter hue of Pillow Talk MAGIC and looks extra dreamy on deeper skin tones.“If you’ve been DREAMING of a blush and glow that makes you GLEAM FOREVER, then this is the blush for you!” – Charlotte Tilbury Loved by supermodels and stars, my ORIGINAL, UNIVERSALLY FLATTERING, nude-pink Pillow Talk hue has been dialled up for everyone, every moment and every mood!

WHAT MAKES IT MAGIC?

• Light Flex Technology captures & reflects light for a glowing complexion.
• Color-rich pigments are rolled into finely crushed pearls that buff & smooth your skin for excellent blendability & color uniformity.
• The formula is buildable for the perfect, even glow."

Here are swatches of the blush:

On to my thoughts:
This blush performs very much like the Original Pillow Talk shade. It's definitely a lot darker than I thought it was going to be. I actually purchased this one first. Its a rosy pink but its VERY pigmented. You need to use a light hand. The great thing about this shade is that it will work with more skin tones. I actually really love this shade as well. It gives a more dramatic look on my skin tone but is equally as beautiful. I think this shade will work better when creating a night look vs the original shade which will work as a nice day shade for me.

Here is the Original Pillow Talk and Pillow Talk Intense side by side:

As you can see, the two blushes aren't similar at all. The original Pillow Talk blush will work best for fair to light skin tones. The Pillow Talk Intense will work for all skin tones but may suit medium/deep skin tones best. Either way I am happy to own both!

Here is a a look that I created using the Pillow Talk Palette, Blush, Lipstick, and Lip Liner.

Overall, I am happy that I picked up this duo! I think that Charlotte Tilbury products are something that are a treat and not something that I will buy all the time because of the price. That being said, if you are looking to more than one of her products I definitely recommend the bundles and/or wait until she has  a sale on her bundles. She doesn't normally discount her single items. You can get 10% off for signing up for her newletters. If you are looking to try just one of her products I really love her blushes and lipsticks!
