Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the Charlotte Tilbury lip kit that I purchased during her summer sale. If you haven't read my review of her Bigger, Brighter Eye Tricks Bundle you can check it out HERE. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on the two products in this lip kit!
During the Summer Sale they had a special lip bundle that they called Charlotte's Iconic Matte Lip Kit which was 40% off. I paid $33.60 for the kit. The Matte Revolution Lipsticks are normally $34.00 and the Lip Cheat Liners are $22.00. The bundle was essentially the Matte Revolution Lip Kit but with a bigger discount. The Matte Revolution Lip Kit is $50.50 and you get to pick the Matte Revolution Lipstick and Lip Cheat Liner for your kit. You are saving $4.50 (10%) with the kit that is currently on her site. You can get an additional 10% discount by subscribing to Charlotte Tilbury marketing emails.
I decided to pick up this lip kit because it was a great deal and I have wanted to try the Very Victoria lipstick for quite a while. I decide to pair it with the Hot Gossip liner for my kit.
Matte Revolution Lipstick in Very Victoria $34.00
"Darlings, this is the matte lipstick of the future! My Matte Revolution Lipstick in Very Victoria is enriched with ingredients to give you fuller, softer lips. This suede taupe nude shade is inspired by Victoria Beckham and perfect for everyday makeup or paired with a subtle smokey eye."

On to my thoughts:
I was a little nervous to order this lipstick because I read some reviews that said it was very similar to the Pillow Talk shade which I already own. (You can check out my review of Pillow Talk HERE). Since it was such a good deal I decided to take my chances and order it anyways. I am so glad that I did! Very Victoria is a beautiful shade. It does look similar swatched on the arm. However, I don't think that it looks similar to Pillow Talk on my lips which is what matters. I'm not sure how similar or different it would look on other skintones. Even though it looks more pinkish-mauve on the website, it pulls more brown-mauve on me. I am totally okay with that. I think its a great color and will reach for it a ton this fall. The formula is very similar to Pillow Talk as it is pigmented and creamy. Its very comfortable and not super matte to the point where it is drying on the lips. I highly recommend this shade if you are into mauves and browns.
"WHAT MAKES LIP CHEAT LIP LINER MAGIC:
- Perfect your lip shape!
- Smoothes over texture for a seamless line, so you can resize and reshape for a fuller pout.
- Lasts up to 6 hours with no smudging*
- Waterproof formula
- Transfer resistant formula
- Ideal for perfectly defined, colour-rich lips.
- Paraben-free"
On to my thoughts:
I am already a fan of the Lip Cheat liners. I have Pillow Talk and Iconic Nude and wear them all the time. I wasn't 100% sure which shade to pick to pair with Very Victoria. I decided on Hot Gossip and its a great pairing! The formula of the liner is true to the other Lip Cheat liners that I own. It's creamy, pigmented, and glides right on your lip. I do agree that it is long lasting as well.
Here is a swatch of the lipstick and liner:
Here are two pictures where I am wearing the lip kit:
Overall, I was so happy that I purchased this lip kit. I know that I will get plenty of use out of these products. If you are looking to try some Charlotte Tilbury products and aren't sure where to start, definitely try her lip products. She offers a large variety of lipsticks and finishes and you will not be disappointed! I highly recommend taking advantage of the lip kits since you are getting two lip products at a discount. I hope that this review was helpful!
