Of All the Beauty Products That Come My Way, These Are Always the Most Special

Sponsor Content Created With Charlotte Tilbury

As a beauty editor, I sometimes have a difficult time deciding which products to try out and keep for myself. While the fact that all the latest beauty launches land on my desk every day is a total dream, sadly, one face can only try so many products. Personally, I find these decisions particularly hard when it comes to makeup. With skincare, ingredient lists tend to tell me whether or not my skin will like a product. But with makeup, the products I keep tend to be those that appeal to my inner magpie.

I like my makeup products to look just as beautiful on my dressing table as they do on my face. I also want them to feel luxurious and, most importantly, possess a certain je ne sais quois that makes applying them feel like a special experience rather than the rushed nuisance. And there is one particular brand that I can always rely on to tick all of those boxes: Charlotte Tilbury.

It doesn’t matter how full my makeup drawer is or what my current product preferences may be; I will always and forever find the space to keep every Charlotte Tilbury product that comes my way. You see, there really is no beauty product that hits quite like a Charlotte Tilbury one. From the luxe rose-gold packaging to the crème de la crème of formulas, all of Charlotte Tilbury's products have that special something that makes you feel like your very best self.

As someone who has piles and piles of makeup and skincare stacked up in every cupboard, drawer and crevice of my flat, I feel experienced enough to say that Charlotte Tilbury products are without a doubt the best beauty products to receive, whether you're buying them for yourself or for a loved one.
