Eyes To Mesmerise with Charlotte Tilbury

I love a cream shadow, they are easy to apply in a hurry and add the most pretty finish to the lids. You can wear them alone for a subtle everyday look or use them as a base for other eye shadows. I am huge fan of the Charlotte Tilbury line and you may know that her foundation is my all time favorite, so I was very excited to see the release of her new Eyes To Mesmerise. They are a cream-to-sheen formula that glides on the lid with ease, I can see why they are part of her One-Minuet No-Mirror line. There are six shades in total all on the pretty neutral side except 'Cleopatra' which is a beautiful teal color, I have the shade 'Mona Lisa' it is a really pretty chocolate brown with almost hint of purple to it. All the shades are inspired by great women throughout history, which I think is a really interesting concept. The formula is seriously beautiful, it's creamy but has more of a mousse texture than your regular cream shadow, while still packing the pigment punch. Something that I really love is that you have a little extra time than normal cream shadows to blend it out; they don't set straight away. That's not to say they are going to crease though, I haven't found a problem with it, they set within a couple of minuets. For a wash of color in the day time I have been using my ring finger with a tiny amount of product and just sweeping it over the lids for a sheer wash of bronzyness. For a little more intensity I like to give my MAC 239 brush a spritz with some Fix+ to dampen it a little. I then add a tiny amount of product to the brush and pat it on the lid, making sure I blend out with my 217. It gives the most beautiful chocolate bronze eye. That's the great thing about these, you need such a small amount of product and you can create a bold eye. I can see this small pot lasting me a long time. The wear time on these is also very good, I did an eight hour day with no primer and my eyes looked the same as when I put it on come evening.  So here is the big question, coming in at $32 are they really worth it? My answer, yes. They are something that you can wear every day for a quick easy look, they also have a texture very different to any cream shadow I have used before, and the shade range is beautiful. I know I will be buying more... Maybe Bette next? Love...
