When Charlotte Tilbury launches a new lip product my ears perk up. Aside from the infamous Magic Cream, Charlotte’s Pillow Talk Lipstick is well known and associated with the brand. Recently the new Charlotte Tilbury Blush Balm Lip Tints launched as part of the Pillow Talk collection. Personally during warmer months I love a light balm so with Spring teasing us I has to see if the new lip product lived up to the hype. Keep reading for my full review!

Swatches
I often wear a balm under a lipstick, colour with some lipcare and comfort is always a great combination. The new Charlotte Tilbury Blush Balms combine the best of both – the nourishment of a balm with a pretty hint of colour. It has the buttery softness of a balm gliding on smoothly leaving an even colour. It isn’t an intense colour which you would get from a lipstick. However it can be built from a sheer to more pop whilst keeping its natural looking finish. As a result it’s a really easy to wear finish which is perfect for everyday. The finish is soft and flattering on my lips giving them plumper, juicy and dewy look. As expected being a balm its lightweight and incredibly comfortable to wear. My lips feel soft and hydrated all day which is fantastic.
In all honesty I fully expected out of all the shades to pick Pillow Talk. I’m not disappointed though as Blushed Rose is a lovely beautiful pink/red. The colour wears well and settles into more a of a tint on my lips as opposed to a stain. I personally prefer this, stains often be drying and difficult to remove. This is not the case with the Blush Balm. It is a multiuse balm which can also be worn as a blush. Personally I feel it wears better on my lips. Although its great to travel to save space on taking both and leaves a natural hint of colour on my cheeks. A lipstick I keep in my bag for easy touch ups on the go. Hopefully new shades join in the future!
