Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips Lipstick Collection

 Anytime I get new lip product I'm excited.... when it's Charlotte Tilbury... I hit the next level! All hail Queen Charlotte and her extreme make-up perfecetness. 

The new 'Hot Lips' collection is inspired by and in collaboration with some of the world’s most inspiring celebrity women.
These include Miranda Kerr, Salma Hayek, Kate Bosworth, Helena Bonham-Carter, Poppy Delevingne, Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and Kim Kardashian-West to name a few! (I know ... amazing right?)

I have three gorgeous shades from this new collection and thought it was about time I shared the excitement with you all.... (Seriously someone else please tell me new lip products also get them giddy like a kid at Christmas?)

First up - Secret Salma is a natural deep rose plum which I have to say, is my personal favourite out of the three I own! 
This shade is perfect for Autumn and has recently become my most reached for lip product!
The formula to these is incredible - the lipstick glides on like butter, so smooth and soft and leaves your lips feeling so moisturised but still with a fantastic opaque colour. 
Application is perfect because of the shape, size and angle of the bullet end and can we just appreciate the detailing on the bullet - I hardly want to use it because it will get ruined!

Next we have Kate Bosworth's piece in the collection... Bosworth's Beauty. A gorgeous classic statement pink, perfect for day or night! I love this Elle Woods style pop of pink, a go-to for those days where I want to feel super girly and fun!

Last but not least... it's the queen of the world/social media/TV/life ... Kim Kardashian, with her addition Kim K.W.
This gorgeous 'vintage styled' pink nude is totally fabulous - set to make the lips appear fuller this shade is perfect for a subtle but simple bit of glam.
I love pairing this with one of my MAC lip liners to create that irresistible nude Miss. Jenner has made famous! 

See below for ... my arm... oh wait I mean the swatches...

The Hot Lips lipsticks are priced at £23 each. Yes, these are expensive - nearly £8 more than MAC's high quality range - but I honestly LOVE them.
I mean, they are worth the price for the packaging, detailing and formula alone, not to mention the amazing colour range!
Obviously these aren't something I can afford to splash out on weekly but a monthly treat - why not! I've been trying out alot of CT products recently and have completely and utterly fallen had over heels for the brand!
Do you have any CT favourites? Let me know!

Thanks so much for reading you beauties - I know A Yellow Brick Blog hasn't really been the same this year with it's reduced content but I am really trying hard to get back into the rhythm of things and making time to sit down and blog until my fingers hurt!

This Week I'm Loving... #16

Inside No. 9

Being a fan of League Of Gentleman and Pyshcoville I was looking forward to watching this season made by the same people! Episode 2 "The 12 Days Of Christine" was amazing - I recommend you all head to iplayer now and watch it .... I cried like a baby!

Shapers Blueberry & Yogurt Bars

These are so so good. I think I've mentioned them on here before but I'm telling you again - these are the nicest treat and less than 90 calories!

Nip + Fab Dragon's Blood Facial Pads

I bought these a few weeks ago along with the matching serum. Now it turns out the serum and my skin just didn't get along, I came up in a few spots which is really unlike me but I've kept these in my everyday routine and they have been great! The scent is strong but I quite like it, I use one every morning before I put my make-up on!

Oral B Pro 2000

Upgrading my toothbrush was the best decision I've made so far this year! I had the Pro 600 prior to this but this is a step ahead, so much quicker and I can really feel the difference between them!

eBay

I used to use eBay 24/7 but with work, blogging, life etc I kind of just gave up with the effort of it all! After going through my wardrobe I decided it was time to get chucking/ebaying and it feels so good! (My eBay - HERE.)

Wildfox Cali Jumper

Bargain of the week! I am obsessed with Wildfox but unfortunately it's not always in my price range! This is why I love the ASOS sale, this top was only £24!! I LOVE it, super comfy and it's so true... I miss California everyday!

Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick - Love Bite

I did a review on this a couple of weeks ago, I am obsessed. It is the perfect formula and the perfect red!

Ultimate Blends Honey Treasures

I've been using these for weeks and weeks now and ever since having my haircut my hair has been feeling better and better! They smell yummy and leave my hair so soft plus they are nearly always on offer - and I love a bargain!

Bates Motel

This is the newest show me and my boyfriend have started watching together..... although I'm now officially like 3 episodes behind him as I fell asleep opps! It's really weird but I do like a bit of weird!

Ariana Grande

It's only 6 weeks until I head to the O2 to see this little angel and I am SO excited! This past week I have been blaring out her albums and getting really hyped up to see her live, I cannot wait!

Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Love Bite Lipstick

Holy Moly! Look what I finally own - a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick! 

I have been drooling over these from a distance for months now and I was incredible lucky to actually WIN one earlier this month! (I know, lucky right?)
From the moment I laid eyes on this I was in love - slightly emotional about a lip product I know - but everything from the packaging to the finish is just gorgeous.

 Charlotte Tilbury has slowly, over the last few years, become a brand which every beauty lover wants to get their mitts on - me included.
This is one of the lipsticks from her signature lipstick range - K.I.S.S.I.N.G. - a collection of 11 shades curated with modern and classic icons in mind.

Everyone needs a classic red lip and although I own more red lip products than I can count, this shade is something special! I'd probably even go as far as to say it's the perfect pillarbox red - great for near enough every skin tone.

(Opps dodgey fading fake tan alert...#sorry!)

Creamy, rich, highly pigmented and super long-lasting - this is, in my opinion, worth every penny of the £23 asking price. I think I'll be treating myself to some more CT products very soon.....

The Lottery Wishlist

Ever sit and dream what you would buy for yourself if you won the lottery? 

Don't worry, it's not selfish or silly - it's totes normal! So.....what would you buy if money was no object?

I thought it would be super fun to do a totally unaffordable wishlist, yup.... I really would love these beautiful things but... right now - it's not going to happen!

Ugg Classic Short Boots

I owned these until last week and I miss them already! The pair I had lasted for 7 years (amazing right?) but it was about time I said goodbye to them but I am already desperate for a new pair to replace them - if only I had £150 spare eh?

Zoeva Rose Gold Luxery Brush Set

I have the original set from Zoeva but these are just so so pretty - I think they are every bloggers dream!

ghd V Rose Gold Styler

I've had my ghd's for 10 years.... literally 10 years - I got them for Christmas 2004, so it's probably about time I invested in some new ones! These are again rose gold.... jeez I'm so cliche, but they are so pretty!

Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo & Conditioner

I have been using the oil from this brand for over a year now and I love it... the only problem is the price! With my hair getting longer and using more and more each time I wash my hair it becomes expensive! Knowing how much I love the oil I would LOVE to try out the shampoo and conditioner versions!

Urban Decay Naked Vault

Could I be anymore cliche and blogger obvious? Yes it's sold out, and yes none of us could afford it but ..... I need it.

Mulberry Daria Wallet

With my Ted Baker purse slowly wearing away, a new pretty holder for my money and cards would be high up on my list after a lottery win! This wallet from Mulberry is a beaut!

Olivia Burton Powder Blue Watch

I've been staring at Olivia Burton watches online for months now - I love the pretty, dainty desgins!

A French Bulldog

I think you all know now that owning a French Bulldog is pretty much a lifelong dream of mine - top of the bucket list!

Charlotte Tilbury The Dolce Vita Look Gift Box

I am still yet to try anything from the infamous Charlotte Tilbury... and it's killing me! Everything I've seen on other blogs and youtube looks amazing so I would definitely have to invest in some!

If you won the lottery what would be some of your first things you'd treat yourself too?
