After getting the online, Paris & Lisbon hauls inspired by Andreea Ali, I’ve tried over 10 Charlotte Tilbury products. - Author: Jess - Tags: Beauty & Skincare, #Charlotte Tilbury *Hey there, I’m Jess* ✨*.

It started by only being available at Net-a-Porter and it more recently democratised into several other outlets and into its own counters around the world. I was completely enthralled after watching this video [**from Andreea Ali**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/influenced-by-andreea-ali/), my ultimate makeup guru, that made me reconnect with my feminine energy, my love for make up and my Parisian side in the past year. I am so grateful for her and devour all her videos! Andreea speaks so highly of Charlotte Tilbury in most of her videos and make up tips and I needed to understand what it was all about. [Beauty & Makeup products inspired by Andreea AliFrom makeup techniques to strolls in Paris, makeup artist Andreea Ali has been one of my great inspirations in the past couple of years![](https://static.ghost.org/v5.0.0/images/link-icon.svg)The SignatureJess![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/size/w1200/2026/04/andreea-ali-favourite-sephora-products-sale.png)](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/influenced-by-andreea-ali/) ## My first experience: online, via app I ordered through the app - what a luxurious experience it provides! - and here were my first CT items: ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/03/IMG_6037.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/03/IMG_6039.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/03/IMG_6040.jpg) **My first online order with Charlotte Tilbury - May 2024* ### Charlotte's Magic Cream Andreea raves about this moisturiser. I have already shared about this cream as it has been a part of [**my morning skincare routine**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/beauty-morning-skincare-routine/). It is quite rich and packed with hyaluronic acid, one of the richest creams I have ever used. Yet it is easy to play with make up right after putting it on, which is great! ### The Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer I was a super-duper-ultra [**Benefit**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/404/) Porefessional lover back in the day and have never found a primer that would cover all the bases for me as I have very textured skin from acne and past skin treatments. I have started using this one and have to be honest, I don't find there is anything to rave home about. I do like that it has SPF 50+ sunscreen though. Yet nothing beats Porefessional for me to this day even if I do like this one from Filorga lately. ### The Lip Cheat Pillow Talk Medium Lip Liner I am still coming to grips with this product as I am becoming a Lip Liner afficcionado, but only recently. I have very thin lips and have been playing around. I would just need it to last a little longer... I need more time to get a hang of it. ### The Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eye Shadow This is a cream eye shadow - my favourite kind of eye shadow, so easy to apply - in the **Walk of No Shame** shade. It is a rich copper tone I love using on my complexion and use frequently to go to work. I like how easy it is to apply with my fingers but I sometimes use a brush when I want to be more zealous.

I was extremely impressed by the experience and the products. ## My second experience: live at Galeries Lafayette in Paris I took the opportunity to restock and try lots of new beauty products and treatments when [**I spent a few days in Paris**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/ringing-in-the-new-year-in-paris-and-7-other-things-we-are-so-grateful-for/) at the beginning of the year. One of the brands that I chose was CT, as I had only bought it online and wanted to know more about the brand. I was about to visit their counter at Le Bon Marché - but stopped at Victoria Beckham Beauty and Bobbi Brown instead - so when I went to Galeries Lafayette I took the leap. And the make up artist (MUA) - unfortunately I don't remember her name! shame! - was super sweet, funny and patient to share everything with me. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/03/IMG_1901.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/03/20250108_104344.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/03/IMG_2457.jpg) Charlotte Tilbury's counter at Le Bon Marché | Me snapped by my husband at CT's counter at Galeries Lafayette + what I tried there She also did my whole make up that morning and it was great as I was about to head to the airport for a flight back to the Algarve. Here are some of the products I purchased: ### Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer I must confess I wanted to go to their contour wand but the MUA steered me into the this cream bronzer instead, as I shared I don't have much experience with bronzers altogether. She applied it on me and shared a few tips on how to apply (my initial idea of application was all wrong)(I am sure that almost 3 months later, I didn't get much better at it though but I am trying at least 5 times a week!). I use bronzer to define my cheeks and work on my temples. I have also learned with [**Victoria Beckham Beauty**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/victoria-beckham-beauty-experience-review/) how to apply contour on my nose and have been playing around it on a daily basis now. Last but not least, I sometimes use it on my hairline when I have my hair parted as I have alopecia and wide partings that make me a big self-conscious at times. It works great on my hair! Overall, I love how creamy this bronzer is and how luxurious the packaging feels, with a big mirror that is so so necessary on the go or whilst travelling. Glad the MUA got me into it, completely recommend. ### Hollywood Complexion Brush I fell in love with this 2-in-1 rose gold soft brush as soon as the MUA started applying the bronzer on me and I have been using it daily ever since. I use the large flat-top head for my cheeks and temples contour and blending. I use the smaller angular side to play more around my nose, hair line and, sometimes, I use the bronzer on my eye lids when I am not in the mood for any colour. It works great! I love this brush and how it never had any hair fall-out in months (take note, Bare Minerals brushes!). Completely recommend. I also got many delicious samples with these two products. CT is very generous with the samples and I love using them when travelling. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/03/charlottetilbury.jpg) **My first Charlotte Tilbury order (made online via app) in May 2024 + what I bought in Paris in January 2025* ## My third experience: live at the Lisbon airport I had a quick layover at the Lisbon Airport at the end of March 2025\. I didn't want to buy anything (ha! ha! ha!) but my husband needed to restock at the Kiehls counter so I had some spare time... and I gravitated towards the new Charlotte Tilbury counter at the Lisbon Airport revamped duty free area. I was warmly welcomed by the MUA Claudia and she saved me during my layover between a 8-hour flight and before my last 1-hour leg before heading home in the Algarve. *Here is everything I bought and tried with her:* ### Charlotte's Crystal Elixir Magic Serum After cleaning my face, Claudia applied this luxurious serum that replenished my skin immediately. Filled with Vitamin C, Niacinamide and Replexium Peptide, I felt immediately reinvigorated and brighter after a long-haul flight. I immediately knew I needed it right then! ### Hollywood Flawless Filter Claudia shade tested me and found that the 4.5 Medium is my shade. And to my surprise, it is the same shade Andreea Ali uses?! I would have never guessed we are the same tone?! This foundation gives such an amazing glow, it immediately made me feel amazing after my long-haul flight. ### Airbrush Flawless Finish Complexion Perfecting Micro Powder After applying my foundation, Claudia applied the powder with a light brush. It helped set my foundation before getting ready for a bit of make up. ### Charlotte's Crystal Elixir Magic Lip Oil *Lip conditioner by day, Lip Mask by Night*, this is what the packaging promises. Claudia applied it on me after lining my lips and applying lipstick, giving them a much needed glow. I bought it and applied it as night at home and it was delicious. For real, it smells so so good. I will try it a few more days before giving it a review. ### The Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eye Shadow Confession: I have been influenced on Tiktok by [**Ashley Paige**](https://www.tiktok.com/@ashley.paiige?ref=thesignaturejess.com)'s Armani 22 Eye Tint she raves on about. As I have never stumbled upon an Armani Beauty counter, I wanted to look into a champagne-ish kind of eye shadow and **Oyster Pearl** silver metallic shade did it for me. I tried on and hesitated between this one and the Champagne shade, also metallic but more with golden hues, but Oyster Pearl won for me. For now! ### Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes Mascara As I go through a mascara every three months, I often buy new ones as I am not scared of having too many but always of not having none. And my rule is only to use one at a time as it dries fast and I don't want to spend money drying several at the same time. I liked this one and bought it in the Super Black colour. I have been thinking about diving into brown mascaras but have yet to take the leap. *Also tried but not bought:* ### Glow Toner Claudia applied it on me with cotton pads and a bit of a massage (much welcomed!) before applying the serum. The glow was ignited from here on. ### Collagen Superfusion Facial Oil I got a sample to use during my travels but I have yet to use the full size one offered to me after the online purchase. ### Magic Eye Rescue Got a sample instead. ### Magic Night Cream Got several samples to use during [**my evening routine**](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/beauty-my-nighttime-skincare-routine/). The small packaging is great whilst travelling. ### The Classic Eyeliner Pencil I tried the Classic Brown shade but it was unfortunately unavailable for sale. Also confirmed it is not available online. It must be a success. I really wanted to venture into brown eyeliners as I tend to think the usual khol black ones I use are getting a bit heavy on me. ### Lip Cheat Lipliner Also not available for sale at the counter, Claudia applied the Love Trap on me and I loved it. I am indeed falling in love with Lip Liners, I have to confess! ### K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick Got the sweetest, cutest and tiniest 90s Pink shade lipstick sample. It is so cute I am afraid to use to be honest! The colour is gorgeous and rich though... might be hard to resist. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/03/IMG_3339-1.jpg) **My haul from purchases and samples during a layover at the Lisbon airport counter in March 2025* [The Ultimate Experience with Victoria Beckham in ParisI was more than curious about Victoria Beckham’s Beauty line. More than just make up, it is an avant-garde skincare range. A trip to Paris solved the mystery for me.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/icon/VHColletion_02_vhcollection_03-483.png)The SignatureJess![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/thumbnail/victoria-beckham-beauty-le-bon-marche-1-1.jpg)](https://www.thesignaturejess.com/victoria-beckham-beauty-experience-review/) ## And that's a wrap! These three amazing experience got from outsider to loyal customer. I love how skincare focused this brand is and how it makes me feel like I am glowing and ready to take on my board meetings at work on a daily basis. Call me a fan!
