Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution lipsticks-Lost Cherry and Amazing Grace

So, you know me.  I like a lipstick.  Or 245. 

And I am a pretty big fan of Charlotte Tilbury and her make up line so a new launch, especially a new lipstick launch obviously got me clicking 'add to cart' so quick that my fingers could give Usain Bolt a run for his money.

So what's new Charlotte Tilbury?  Matte Revolution lipsticks available in 10 new shades.  I bought two to start.  You know, just to test out.  I have five of the 'original' K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula and love them all.  They're smooth, hydrating and fantastic colours.

With this new formula, Charlotte has designed the lipstick bullet to have a flat, angled tip to almost mimic a lip brush.  This means that they're actually really easy to use straight from the bullet. 

Matte seems to be making a comeback at the moment-there's the superb Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet liquid lipsticks, the Clinique Soft Matte lipsticks and the YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats to name just a few of the new matte launches.   I have to say they're going to have to be freaking awesome to match this formula from Charlotte Tilbury.

I tend to usually stay clear of matte formulas because my lips dry out quickly.  Every matte formula professes these days to be hydrating but I can confirm this one definitely is.  It has both extracts from the Lipstick Tree (there's a lipstick tree?  I want one) and Orchid to soothe and hydrate and give a soft cashmere finish.  It has 'glowing 3D pigments' to give a 'lit from within' look to the lips, making them appear wider and fuller.

The lipsticks are packaged in the same heavy, rose gold, 1920's-esque column design.  They're exquisite.

Both shades I purchased are going to suit everyone.  Lost Cherry is described as a pastel fuchsia.  It's so beautiful and really brightens the face

Amazing Grace is effortlessly timeless.  A vintage tea rose that is so versatile for day and night.

I definitely now need to add Love Liberty to my collection.

My verdict?  Excellence in a lipstick bullet.  Smooth, opaque in one pass, hydrating and long lasting.  Light and comfortable on the lips.  Zero negatives.  Zero.  And as a true lipstick aficionado this is indeed the highest praise I can give.
