I haven’t fallen this hard for an entire brand since I first started getting into makeup and walked into a MAC store over a decade ago. I mean wow I love Charlotte Tilbury!
I have a couple of Charlotte Tilbury’s makeup already, but I was so excited to get a full makeover done at her counter in Nordstrom.
It all started on Friday when I was walking around looking for a dress to buy and wear for a wedding on Saturday and I decided to see what was new at my favorite counter. When I got to the counter, I ran into my favorite beauty consultant Gina, I told her about the wedding the following day and she scheduled me for a makeover the next day to get me ready for the wedding. I was so excited because I was worried how I was going to do my makeup since I am not very good at applying so this was definitely a blessing to get my makeup done for free by someone I knew and trusted.
This was the dressed I found on Saturday right before my appointment lololololol. I had found a different one on Friday but fell really hard for this one and all the pink ❤ Who knew Charming Charlie carried dresses and this one was only $39 🙂 Score!
I left all makeup decisions in Gina’s hands and she chose The Glamour Muse look
Right before the fun started
I loved the Clay Mask she used on me and definitely will be purchasing it soon.
Just a snippet of the “makeup mess” OMG they had the cream shadows there and she used a couple on me, Mona Lisa and Norma Jean and omggggg they were heavenly! So creamy, so luxurious, I definitely need some in my life!
I absolutely loved the finished look Gina did on me!
It was raining on Saturday hence the frizz so I was rushing home and was curling my hair while trying to take pictures hahaha
A closeup of my eyes, LOVE IT!!!!!
I did end up buying the lip products she used on me so I could easily retouch. I am dumb and already own Velvet Underground (lipstick) but I am ok with owning a double since this is my ultimate favorite lipstick out of all the ones I do own. I also got the lip liner in Pillow Talk and lipgloss in Candy Darling.
At the wedding with my husband, Dan. We had so much fun and at the end of the night my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much 🙂
I absolutely loved my makeup that night and can’t wait to go back and buy everything she used on me. I was in such a rush I didn’t get a chance to really browse and choose what I wanted, but come June when I go back I am for sure buying almost everything she used on me 🙂

Thanks so much Rachael ❤ I know, I couldn't believe what a great job she did because some ladies are a hot mess and can really mess up simple makeup, but she was awesome! I wish I could go to her all the time when I have a special event lololol

Lolol I think it was the years of my brothers teasing me and calling me a Buck Tooth Beaver that made me so self conscious. I guess in a way it did help so when others teased me I didn’t care at all because my brothers were far worse in the jokes. I think Beautylish ships to Canada now and they carry her line because it is seriously amazing. Her lipsticks are my ultimate favorite with Tom Ford being a very close second 🙂 Omg I love how brutally honest little kids are at the most inmapporioporite times hahaha They even say it so cute so you can’t even stay mad at them for long
