At number 39 on my fabulous 40 by forty list, was to get a Charlotte Tilbury Makeover! Was it worth adding to the list - of course, darlings!
Wander through John Lewis at Bluewater (always the car park area of choice for me!), and you will exit into the arena through the make-up section. I'm not one for spending loads on make up - the last splurge on high-end products for me was back when I discovered Sephora in New York - however, something about Charlotte Tilbury's range has always captured me. It seemed fitting therefore to add it to the 40 x 40 list! Fabulous!
Marketed as magical, transformative, and iconic, loved by celebrities, packaged in gorgeous golds, pearls, and soft pinks; Charlotte Tilbury Makeup is as exceptional as it looks.
Fabulous Entrance
From the moment we entered The Bond Street Fenwicks Charlotte Tilbury we were treated as if red carpet fell before our feet. The experience isn't just about trying on make-up, it is in itself an experience!
Iconic Duo
The Bond Street Beauties (@bondstreebeauties) got to work on prepping our face - oh yes 'our' - definitely take a friend or two along to enjoy the magic together. I don't think I have ever taken so much care on the skincare aspect of makeup, it's definitely something I am thinking about more now.
Once prepped they encouraged us to choose one of Charlotte's 10 iconic looks. I (finally!!) decided on The Bella Sofia, and my friend chose The Golden Goddess (both in fair). As they transformed our faces, the two artists chatted to us about our makeup needs and showed us some tricks of the trade! Both of us said our main priority was to glow, and the result was, we did!
Feeling Fabulous
I know the skincare and the makeup was the main driver behind the glow, but so was the way the make-up artists treated us. The experience itself was 'magical' and we left feeling great! We both loved the masterclass and I would definitely recommend it as a luxury present for a loved one. Thank you so much to our two Bond Street Beauties for the transformation.
New Heights
So with our new found transformative feeling, we headed upstairs to change and headed out to dinner at The Sky Garden in Fenchurch. This was definitely the place to show off our new look. We arrived early to get the full effect of the venue (originally we booked for sunset, but having not seen the sun all day, we instead just enjoyed the changing landscape of dusk setting in. We were then shown to our table, offered hot water bottles and blankets, served our preordered wine, and gifted a 'Happy Birthday' goodie.
We ordered our meals and cocktails and enjoyed the view for a couple of hours, before heading back underground to Victoria. All in all a fabulous day!
I picked up the Magic Serum, KISSING lipstick, pillow talk lip line, soft brown legendary lashes, and medium Airbrush Bronze. I am looking forward to topping up my Bella Sofia collection as the year goes on!
Has great makeup ever made you feel fabulous? What else makes you feel iconic?
