Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Lips - Glittergasm

As well as wanting absolutely everything Pillow Talk, the latest product to capture my attention is the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Lips and having been initially torn over which colour to choose, I opted for the shade Glowgasm which is described as being a pink sparkle.

As you might expect, it comes exceptionally packed and the lipstick casing, instead of being the signature gold, is a beautiful light blush pink holographic shade and if I am honest, I much prefer it!

These Crystal balms are described as being transparent bullets of lip-plumping balm which feature Charlotte’s new, glow-glide texture to deliver a gorgeous wash of glow leaving the lips looking plumped and just been kissed. Featuring pH-adaptive technology to flatter your lips with a natural veil of hydrating, light-scattering pigment. Once on the lips, both shades change into your personalised shade of pink or red based on your natural lip color, warmth, moisture, and as already mentioned, the all important pH level.

Glittergasm, the shade I chose, is a clear lipstick which is packed with sprinkles of gold glitter that transforms into the most delightful perfect shade of pink. The swatch above shows the shade of pink on my hand, but on my lips, it slightly lighter to a very light pink which I absolutely love. Now I am debating purchasing Jewelgasm to see which shade of red I get, mainly because I was once told that a red lip is just not the colour that I should wear and after that comment I never have, so this could be my shade.

Glittergasm from Charlotte Tilbury is priced at £22 and you can find it via Charlotte Tilbury, Cult Beauty and John Lewis.

Boostology Moon & Star - 14k gold filled lava diffuser necklace, with essential oil

Boostology is one of those stores I cannot wait to visit in person. Describing themselves as an independent retailer based in London, not only do they offer unique, innovative and exclusive gift ideas, each product is designed to give you, and the planet, a boost. Their range includes organic, vegan, plastic-free ideas and so much more. I was kindly gifted the Moon & star - 14k gold filled lava diffuser necklace, with essential oil.

Nestled inside the white presentation box is the Moon & Star necklace, an instruction card plus a vial of essential oil. 

The necklace features a 16 inch, 14 karat gold filled chain, complete with a spring ring clasp, so when it is worn, it doesn't sit too tightly round the neck and instead sits on the chest bone. The star which compliments the chain, is also a lovely addition to the necklace theme, with the moon being made from natural black lava stone.

I absolutely love my essential oils, some of my current favourites I have written about in this post on my blog.  With this necklace is a 2ml vial which features a blend of natural oils and it is  called Dream Weaver.  Dream Weaver is described as being a tranquil aromatherapy blend which is soothing, calming and perfect for enhancing a quiet moment to yourself. It is made up of three essential oils:

• Lavender Oil - Used for its relaxation benefits
• Roman Chamomile Oil - Used for its anxiety relief benefits
• Angelica Oil - Used for its benefits to calm nervousness and anxiety

All three of these essential oils are also known for their promotion of sleep benefits too and together they are a perfect blend for its pairing with this natural lava stone necklace.

To use with this necklace, you simply use the brush, shown above, to dab the essential oil onto the stone, to calm you, wherever you go. Perfect for that going back to the 'real world' that we once knew as the norm before the Pandemic set in.

Priced at £33 here from Boostology, this Moon & Star 14k gold filled lava diffuser necklace is a unique, slightly unusual but incredible thoughtful gift and made more so because of the brands commitment to the environment which includes some of the following:

• They have banned products that are made entirely from plastic. You will only find small plastic accessories (for example lids) on our website, where no other alternative is available to us.
• They Plant one tree for every order you place with us.
• All orders are sent in eco-friendly parcels, which contain no plastic
• They recycle all of their office waste and use 100% renewable electricity at Boostology HQ (from solar, wind and hydro-electric power stations).

So, at a time when we should all be doing our bit for the environment by cutting down on excess waste, packaging and looking at our carbon footprint, Boostology do this and so much more.

GA-DE Glow FX Luminizing Perfecting cream

Over the past 12 months, you might have seen quite a few posts on a brand called GA-DE on my blog. It launched into the UK and made a name for itself on QVC, quickly selling out of everything that was on offer.  The newest product to my collection is one I shared on my Instagram Stories a few months ago and here it is today.

The GLOW FX Luminizing Tone Perfecting Cream is described as being a luminous tone-perfecting cream that amplifies skin's Illumination with a pearlescent glow and designed to blur, even, and enhances skin for a rejuvenated, youthful and radiant complexion. Basically I need to fill my bath with it, lie there for half an hour and get out looking as fabulous as my face looks when I use this cream.

Formulated with what is referred to as skin-smoothing, hydrating, and brightening agents, the cream includes a natural antioxidant complex to help protect skin from urban pollution while improving its elasticity and suppleness. This complex is known as the Lycoskin Defence which comes from tomato skin cells, so not only is it rich in antioxidants, it also helps to protect cells from pollution, UV damage and other free radicals that cause premature ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. But that isn't all, it also helps to moisturise skin as well as to aid the cell renewal process and collagen production which in turn leaves the skin rejuvenated, revitalised and radiant.  You will also find the inclusion of Vitamin C for those skin brightening properties and its help in brightening the skin.

So how about that glow? Well this cream doesn't just a glow, it imparts the most lovely instant rosy glow and regardless of your skin type or tone, it looks amazing. Using pearl particles which help to revive your complexion, the illuminated look definitely have that wow factor and aside from the pearl pigments there is also what is referred to as 'multilayer technology' whose job it is to blue imperfections to enhance the skin to ensure that luminous glow shines through.

The cream, which its peachy tone, is luxurious, it sits in the not too thick and not thin camp and it has an almost whipped like feel when applied to the skin. Despite having those pearl particles, it isn't sticky or greasy on the skin and it doesn't make you look extra oily either. It 

works just like your moisturising cream, but is a whole lot extra and it smells absolutely delightful of rose.  The swatch below is completely unedited, but if you head over  to my Instagram stories, you can see the Glow FX Luminizing Perfecting cream in all its glory.

I have used plenty of highlighters over the years in all different forms - gel, powder, liquid, with a wand, without a wand, with a doe foot applicator and so on. But this is the first time, i've used a cream, like this which I just adore and this is why. As well as using Glow FX on its own, which you absolutely can do and I have, you can add it to your foundation, your tinted moisturiser, mix a few drops of your favourite facial oil, i've added some into my body cream which was an accidental application, but my skin glowed amazing, you can also use it sparingly and apply it in the same places you would apply your highlighter after finishing your makeup look. The use, is absolutely endless, up to you and if I could bathe in it, I absolutely would.

Suitable for all skin types and tones, you can find Glow FX from GA-DE via MMCL or QVC and it is priced at £49 for 50ml
