I think every girl should have a little bit of Charlotte Tilbury in their life, the packaging, the smell and the feel of the products is just so luxurious and would make any girl feel special! For me, Christmas is a time to treat your loved ones to those special presents that they wouldn't justify treating themselves to, so when I saw this mini lipstick trio from Charlotte Tilbury, I knew they would be the perfect gift to make someone smile this Christmas. With three different shades from the K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipstick range in So Marilyn, Bitch Perfect and Penelope Pink these were too hard to resist and I decided to order Dan's mum a set as she was swooning over my first CT order and Dan very kindly decided to treat me to a set too, so as soon as I saw them up on the website, I added two to my basket and proceeded straight to the check out before I changed my mind.
As usual the box got me so excited, with the burgundy tissue paper and the gold sticker, it took me around 30 seconds to find the products lurking inside but what did really surprise me, was when I got to the actual product. Now I know that these are mini lipsticks and by no means did I expect them to be big, however I didn't realise just how small these would be. I guess I at least expected them to be the size of my thumb, however they are just under 4cm in height and just over 1cm wide with the amount of product being a little under 2cm tall and a little under 1cm wide, so they are very tiny. Luckily they are gorgeous lipsticks but I wish I had actually read the description first and done my research before I made a decision, as I don't feel they look a lot for the money when buying them as a Christmas present for someone who doesn't know the brand and quality of the products upfront.
Despite me thinking these should be described as tiny and not mini, I do love the lipsticks and think that they are an amazing idea,
if only a little bigger, the K.I.S.S.I,N.G lipstick formula is pretty amazing, see my review
here and I can't wait till Christmas when I can pop them in my handbags ready for the celebrations,
I just hope I don't lose them!
Have you ordered these yet? Will you be?
Love
