British Invasion

Yesterday marked a monumental day in beauty lover history. More like an open armed welcome than an invasion, Charlotte Tilbury, iconic makeup artist, released her makeup line in the US. Her products have been selling off the shelves in places like Selfridges, but now it's our turn to get a piece of the beauty pie if you will.

Delevingne and Tilbury

Tilbury and Moss

With products named after Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, there's no way anyone could not be absolutely in love with this line. Love knows no boundaries (or should I say borders) when it comes to British beauties such as these. Want Moss's signature nude pout? Well now that's attainable! Tilbury has created a formula that used to take mixing several different products to achieve. The K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipstick in Nude Kate will get you as close to you can possibly get to Moss's lips. As for Delevigne's trademark bushy brows, Tilbury has given us mere mortals a way to fake it til we make it. The Brow Lift in Cara D. has the ability to shape, lift and shade. The frantic search for separate brushes, pencils and pigments is now over because this product does the job of all three!

Being a beauty fanatic myself, I have been waiting to get my hands on this line, I was almost about to pay the shipping charge from the UK until I found out that the US would soon carry the line. I ended up making my purchase from the site, BeautyLish.com. After browsing Net a Porter and then ultimately finding out that I could get $10 off my first purchase of $50 or more at BeautyLish, I went with them. Although I wanted to buy everything, I had to pull in the reigns, and decide not to go crazy. I went a little crazy though and bought the $225 "Rock Chick" set. This came with the Nude Kate lipstick which I have had my eye on plus six other products. The Rock Chick is one of ten looks that Tilbury has created. The other sets come with products in varying hues to attain each different look.

Tilbury's Ten Signature Looks

I figure that this can be my starting point and I can come back for more. I just found out that Nordstrom is also carrying Tilbury's line so that makes it super easy for me to go in and actually try the products. The next product I covet is "Charlotte's Magic Cream." Although I don't believe in magic persay, I do have eyes and I have seen what Tilbury does to the famous faces she works with, so I am all trusting. This Magic Cream promises a "lasting dewy, plumped-up finish" and who doesn't want that?!
