Hey Guys, Today I'm going to share my thoughts on two more Charlotte Tilbury products; the Hollywood Flawless Filter and the Cheek to Chic Blush in Climax. I have wanted to try the Hollywood Flawless Filter for so long because so many people rave about it. I really like the two Cheek to Chic Blushes that I own so I decided to pick up another one. I wanted to make sure that was a way different color than the shades that I already own. I picked these up during the Black Friday sale and they came together in a kit. Keep reading to hear more about these products!

Here is a swatch of the primer:
I have mixed feelings about this primer. I did get the correct shade. I chose 2.5 and it seems to be a good match. That being said this is JUST a primer and really doesn't do much to your skin besides making it super glowy looking. You still need concealer, powder, foundation etc. if you are looking for coverage. I have only worn this a few times and don't reach for it a lot which is a little disappointing considering the price. I liked how it looked the first time that I wore it but I can't remember if I wore it with tinted moisturizer, concealer, AND powder or just powder and concealer. The second time I wore it I thought that I looked too greasy later in the day. I do want to make an effort to try it more to decide if I like it or not because I really haven't decided yet.
Here is what is said about this product on the Charlotte Tilbury site:
"Darlings, my Cheek to Chic blusher in The Climax is a creamy, color-rich texture in a reddy-brown shade to create an ultra-flattering look.
WHAT MAKES CHEEK TO CHIC BLUSHER MAGIC:
Light Flex Technology captures light & re-emits it out for a luminous complexion.
Color-rich pigments rolled into finely crushed pearls to smooth & buff your skin for perfect blendability & brilliant colour uniformity.
The creamy textured formula is buildable for the healthy, perfect, even glow.
A collection of 6 ‘Swish & Pop’ shades represents the 6 shades of love, from ‘First Love’ to ‘Ecstasy’ to ‘Sex on Fire’."
Here are swatches of the blush:
On to my thoughts:
The formula of this blush is on par with my other Cheek to Chic blushes that I own. This is more of a neutral shade on me compared to the other two that I have. Its pretty but not as dark as I thought it was going to be. You do need to build the color up a bit. Color wise its not brown like you think. Its warm and the red tones in it makes it more like a blush than a bronzer. If you are looking for a very subtle neutral blush you will like this. If you are looking for a deeper blush that will pop more than I suggest Pillow Talk Intense.
