Four Reasons You’ll Love The New Charlotte Tilbury Palette

From the minute the Instant Eye Palette was announced, I’ve been waiting patiently for it to become available. It’s sad, but true, I knew instantly (excuse the pun) that I needed to have it! There will be three million reviews of this palette floating around the bloggersphere, but today I wanted to share my thoughts and share my four reasons to love it! 

The Packaging
Charlotte Tilbury has quickly made a name for herself for making quality, beautiful products. Luckily this Instant Eye Palette is no different and far from a let-down. It arrives in the beautiful classic Tilbury purple packaging; the shade of this packaging is just one of my favourite things in the universe. Once you delve inside the box you find the exquisite gold palette, which strongly resembles the Filmstar Bronze & Glow packaging, which we all know and love. If you needed any convincing at all, the sheer in indulgence of this palette is second to none. 

The Shades
Now let’s talk about the real important stuff – the shades! Charlotte Tilbury herself examples it as the palette for all seasons, the palette that gives you everything you could ever need. The palette is made up of 12 shades, which make up four different makeup looks. Each look has three shades, which have been perfectly created to work together – which makes application very quick and easy if you’re an eyeshadow novice. The first look is called “The Day Look”, which offers a natural eye makeup look, thanks to a matte cream, shimmering brown & taupe matte. “The Desk Look” has a pink champagne shade, a chocolate brown and a caramel hue. The first look is “The Date Look”, which offers a sultry finish with a shimmering mauve-cocoa and two chocolate shades. Finally, we have the “The Disco Look”, which gives you everything you need for a smokey eye, with black and molten gold hues.

The Formulation 
Before this palette I’ve indulged in two other Charlotte Tilbury palettes, which I love and use constantly. I love the beautiful formulations, which are so perfectly pigmented. It just means that you can apply everything effortlessly – application is quick, blending is easy and there is no fallout. Everything feels buttery and luxurious, which is exactly what you’d expect from Charlotte Tilbury. 

The Price (I know what you’re thinking, bare with me)
The last thing I wanted to talk about is price. Now I know what you’re thinking, this is a £60 palette, what’s to like?! Well, I have two palettes in my collection already, which both set me back £39. Those palettes only contain four shades, so it’s definitely much cheaper to indulge in this 12 shade palette. Not to mention, the whole experience is incredible and well worth every penny!

The Instant Eye Palette will be back in stock very soon, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled! If you’re interested in getting your hands on it, I highly recommend joining the waitlist here.
