Review: Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick

It's safe to say I pretty much freaked out when I opened this present from my best friend. As an unemployed student, I don't go near the CT counter very often (I just browse online and cry instead, as with many things), so I am pretty much feeling like a proud mother. This is Charlotte Tilbury's Very Victoria Matte Revolution lipstick.

I took it on a night out the other day and the frantic palpitations that occured when I thought I'd lost it were something else. Don't take expensive lipsticks on nights out my friends. Don't put yourself at risk.

Like seriously, look how gorgeous it is. This is meant to be a review but honestly I'm kind of here just to gush. Let me gush. Is that okay? Thanks, won't be long.

• The Matte Revolution lipstick prides itself on being long-lasting formula but with a cashmere-cream texture. The lipstick itself contains papaya and orchid in order to hydrate, giving lips a fuller appearance. 
• I wouldn't really call this lipstick matte, but it's almost there. The main advantage of this is that it's super comfortable to wear but you don't have to stress too much about it fading. 
• The colour is a prettier version of the Kylie-Jenner-esque lip that still seems to be in. It's a lot more pink, but it reminds me of Wet n Wild's Bare It All, which is one of my most-worn lipsticks. It's a fraction of the price too, so could be seen as an alternative.
• This lipstick definitely has a plumping effect. I would say you don't even need liner with it, as it doesn't move around too much and already gives you the appearance of fuller lips.
• The packaging is a gorgeous rose gold colour which really stands out from anything else I've ever seen/owned/lusted over. 

 Let's just say I'm a big fan. Have you tried this lipstick? Let me know! Til next time... xo
