| My Favourite Makeup Products With Rose Gold Packaging! |
Rose gold has taken over the world; From homeware items to jewelry to electrical gadgets to stationary. In the past few years, the makeup industry has jumped on the rose gold bandwagon, including some of our favourite high-end brands as well as some well-known budget brands. As I was rooting through my makeup collection to decide what makeup to wear on my birthday {see my choices in this blog post} I noticed I had a lot of makeup with rose gold packaging so I decided to write a post about my favourites. Obviously, there's more to a product than just the packaging, but isn't it a wonderful feeling when the product itself is great as well as having pretty packaging?
Lips:
The lipsticks are the highlight of the post for me so I thought it would be good to start with them: First up is Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips Lipstick in 'Kidman's Kiss' {review}. CT is famous for her breathtaking rose gold packaging. Her entire range is made with rose gold packaging but for me, her lipsticks are the standout product on the packaging front. The lipstick is encased in a beautiful delicate rose gold exterior along with an intricate lip motif on the product itself. The shade of the lipstick is a light peachy pink which adds a subtle wash of colour to the lips. The lasting power is what sets this lipstick apart from any other in my collection; It lasts all day with little reapplication needed.
The Rosie for Autograph lipstick in 'Silk Rose' has similar packaging to it's CT counterpart. The packaging feels luxurious with a weighty feel to it so it resembles a high-end product. The rose gold exterior is much darker than the CT lipstick but a huge similarity that the two products have is the motif engraved on the lipstick. The Rosie lipstick has a flower motif which adds a nice little touch. The shade of this lipstick is a dark nude with purple undertones. It's the darkest nude I own but it's perfect for the Autumn months!
Base:
The rose gold packaging of the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation is quite understated with just a hint of rose gold on the lid. The finish of this foundation is incredible! It's demi-matte which provides a healthy appearance to my skin. It's medium-full coverage so I can apply a light layer if I'm having a good skin day or I can build it up when I have a collection of friends visiting my face ;-)
L'oreal hit the nail on the head with their Lumi Magique Concealer Pen. Not only does it have incredible rose gold packaging but it's also the best concealer pen on the high street. The product has pink undertones which help counteract blue/purple under eye circles. The concealer provides radiance and illuminates the eye area making tired eyes look more awake. The pen-style applicator makes it easy to apply and it distributes the right amount of product. And the best part is, it's affordable!
Eyes:
If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat {username: clionahill} then you'll know that I bought my first Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow quad in 'Dolce Vita' as a pre-birthday treat. This is the perfect palette for creating a warm brown smoky eye and the quality of the shadows are incredible. I received the best compliment ever on my birthday when my sister asked where I got my makeup done! It was all thanks to this palette, my Nars red lip pencil, and another surprise blush & bronzer palette coming to the blog soon.......
The next rose gold standout is Rosie for Autograph eyeshadow quad in 'Copper Gold Rush'. The palette comes with a light matte brown shade which works well as a transition shade, a dark brown with slight shimmer which is great for smoking the look out, a peachy highlight and a shimmery cranberry shade. The pigmentation of all of the eyeshadows are excellent, particularly the copper and dark brown shade. The copper shade works well on its own or you can spray a bit of Mac fix+ on your brush for a statement look.
