Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G 'Fallen From The Lipstick Tree' was launched with her quintessential line. I love her whole rock chick vibe - so I was keen to get a real nude lipstick which is missing from my own collection. She has 2 nude lipsticks - Nude Kate and Penelope Pink. I went with the safer Penelope Pink, as I thought Nude Kate might give me dead lips.
Housed in a pretty rose gold case, in keeping with the Filmstar Bronze and Glow palette, which has an art deco feel. The formula is very nice. I have to say that this is a very comfortable formula, yet there is nothing that makes it stand out from other high-end brands. Tom Ford, Burberry and Armani make more creamier and more hydrating formula's. Suqqu wins hands down - yet no suitable nude like this one in their colour range. I cannot say that this shade is totally unique, but I can say it is a nude without draining the colour from my face. One might be able to match Penelope Pink with one of the new nudes from the Armani CC lipsticks. I love to wear this colour paired with any of my Charlotte Tilbury Luxury palettes. It works well with a smokey eye, colourful eye and a simple feline flick. I would actually love to try Nude Kate and really push the rock chick look!
In a nutshell - I love the nude shade. I like the formula. I think the colour range is genius and in keeping with the idea of achieving a particular look from the Glamour Muse to the Sophisticate. Have you tried the lipstick from Charlotte Tilbury collection and what are your thoughts?

Thanks for this review! Look like a nice one, reminded me of Tom Ford Sable Smoke that I love wearing with a smokey eye. I remember that Charlotte mentioned many times in her videos that she particularly likes Sable Smoke so it makes sense that she created her version of it. Do you maybe have Sable Smoke to compare?
ReplyDeleteHi Sara - I unfortunately do not have Sable Smoke to compare. I seem to have the much darker TF lipsticks. I have been meaning to get some of his nudes as I love his formula. The CT and TF are very similar - you can see Charlotte's masterful stroke in them both. Off to the Tom Ford counter - catch you later (only lipsticks - boo!)
