My Selfridges order consisted almost all from Suqqus, except this one which slipped inside my shopping bag by a microsecond click, a present from my right index finger to me which is triggered by the immense curiosity based somewhere inside the cosmetics part of the addiction center in my brain. That curiosity will kill this cat one day or at least her bank account.

| Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon Eye Shadow Pencil in Bronzed Garnet |
It all happens so fast, make-up artist gets public by first starting her webpage, then the tutorials, then the events and finally the line is released. Each step being a part of the plan, I got to see it happen too fast that it looked a bit too artificial to me. Sorry to bother the fans here but she hardly had like 10 tutorials and afterwards everything was pumping her products by using this channel. I must have felt a little disappointed (and used?) since I was desperately hoping for another Lisa Eldridge on board but looked like her interests were different on the first place. By this feelings, I decided not to get anything at first. Watching the movies and checking out swatches, eye shadow palettes seemed like a bit too frost to me. Then in one of the videos, I have seen this wonderful thing called "Colour Morphing Eye Shadow Pencil". Let's try to ignore the very forced marketing name behind this product but shortly after the release beauty blogosphere started raving about these. After checking this lovely swatch set and review, I decided on Bronzed Garnet, which by chance happened to be for green eyes.
It has to be mentioned that despite my disappointment to her social media tricks, I very much like Charlotte Tilbury. Here is the logo of her line swatched with Bronzed Garnet. This shade has a beautiful complex shimmer, doesn't appear frosty nor flat. It is also very pigmented and smooth. Very easy to apply and blend on the edges and once it is set, it lasts all day. I seriously love the formula and wrote a few other colors in my wish list for the upcoming Selfridges order.

This shade is recommended for green eyes, so here it comes. I applied this one on the entire lid and defined the crease with a black matte eye shadow lightly. It was 5 min eye look which lasted all day on me without smudging or looking dull.

Final thoughts: Even if you get nothing from the line, be sure to check out one of those eye shadow sticks. They are truly worth the price. You can find her products in Selfridges UK or her website. I believe she only delivers to UK though but Selfridges has now international delivery to selected countries.
Have you picked up anything from Charlotte Tilbury? Do you find the way she enters and makes use of Social Media alright?
