Beauty: My First Charlotte Tilbury Purchase

Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Palette - John Lewis* I never thought this day would come, the day I finally owned something by Charlotte Tilbury. For the past year every time I've been near a Charlotte Tilbury stand I've had to serious refrain myself as I just felt like I couldn't justify spending £38 on 4 eyeshadows (yes £38!!) I did look at the lipsticks which I'm desperate to try but even those were £20+ which is a lot when you're a student (even if you're obsessed with beauty products!)

Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Palette - John Lewis* Can we just take a moment to appreciate how beautiful this palette is? It is so dreamy! I was lucky enough to receive a John Lewis voucher and so I went ahead and purchased this palette. I didn't think I'd love the colours as much as I do and since having this palette in my life I've worn it everyday. After priming my eyes with my Urban Decay Primer Potion I use the lightest shade over my eyes and then the burgundy shade in my crease/outer corners and then I darken that with the khaki shade and then add in the bronze shade for some sparkle.

Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita Palette - John Lewis* When swatched, these eyeshadows aren't as pigmented as my Urban Decay eyeshadows but once used over an eyeshadow primer these eyeshadows work so well. If I'm going for a more natural eye look I use the lightest shade over my lids and then the khaki shade for a hint of colour in my outer corners and crease. I didn't think I'd love four eyeshadows as much as I do and if you're an eyeshadow lover (like myself) I'd recommend picking this palette up! The next product on my Charlotte Tilbury wish list is definitely the Golden Goddess palette. Have you tried any Charlotte Tilbury products? Have you got any high-end beauty recommendations?
