Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick Review & Swatches

I'm so fancaaaaay, you already know!!!
Haha so welcome to my review of the Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Fallen From The Lipstick Tree Lippies.

Product Description
Enriched with a breakthrough, secret ingredient, the Lipstick Tree, an anti-oxidant that naturally protects lips from UV damage and external pollution leaving them cashmere soft and irresistible. Blended with special waxes and clever light-diffusing pigments for pert, full-bodied, ultra-brilliant lips that ensure you leave a lasting impression!
• K.I.S.S.I.N.G is my signature range of 11 lipsticks curated with modern and classic icons in mind. It is a capsule colour wardrobe of backstage nudes to red carpet reds made to suit any skin tone. Perfect, full, kissable lips really do grow on trees…
• The Lip Stick Tree loves your lips, protecting them from UV damage and fighting oxidative stress so that lips are left soft, pert, soothed and hydrated. A tropical plant originating from America, the plump yet prickly red fruits appear like pouting lips that blow kisses at you as you walk by. The colour from its seeds was originally used by Indigenous American people to paint and protect their lips.
• Also contains light-diffusing pigments that give lips a brilliant, luminous, multi-dimensional finish - they capture the light across the lips and reflect it back out for a full-bodied effect.
• A special blend of waxes means this lipstick is a dream to use and glides over the contours of your lips. The result is colour rich and buildable, the formula does not bleed outside the lip line.
I'm a total sucker for packaging and these lipsticks certainly hit the sweet spot.
They have an almost rose gold metallic case, that just looks so vintage and luxurious.
I love just busting this out in public and applying it, as it just makes me feel fabulous!
They do have a bit of a weight to them, but they're not quiet as heavy as the YSL Rouge Volupte lippies.
I love how these lipsticks always photograph with little halo's on the bottom.

I purchased these from the Charlotte Tilbury site for £23 each and they contain 3.5g of product.
Bonus, they are Paraben free, yay!


I have 4 shades from the line and they are So Marylin, Velvet Underground, Coachella Coral & Bitch Perfect.

The consistency/texture of these lipsticks are unlike any other lipstick I've ever tried before. The apply like an absolute dream and they feel so so lush. I can't compare it to anything else, they feel so unique.
Absolutely lovely and creamy, without settling into the fine lines on your lips.
Pay off is no issue, they are opaque from the very first swipe.
Furthermore, they are quiet hydrating.
Scent wise, they are similar to the MAC lipsticks vanilla fragrance. Maybe just a tad sweeter, but nothing too sickly.


So Marylin is just an easy go to red. It is neither too blue or orange toned. I wore this shade on Christmas day and believe it or not, it actually survived the meal. I was thoroughly impressed to say the least.
Velvet Underground is a lovely hot pink that's not too in your face, so anyone can get away with this shade. It's a lovely pop of colour that just brightens up your look. 
Coachella Coral, I was actually unsure of. In the bullet, I wasn't too excited about the shade. That is until I wore it, then I fell in love. This peachy coral is perfect for Spring/Summer.
Bitch Perfect...come on! If the name isn't enough to make you buy it, then the shade is. This is a lovely peachy pink nude. Now, I usually hate nudes. But, this shade I can pull off. It has enough colour in it so it does not give you that dead look. 

They are without a doubt a luxury product at £23 a pop, but the performance makes them worth every single penny.
There are 10 shades in the line overall.

I previously owned Penelope Pink, however that was too nude for me. I also had Stoned Rose, but that was too close to my natural lip colour and so did not show up well on me.
I'm planning on picking up Love Bite & Night Crimson next.

I highly recommend these lipsticks and rate them a
9/10
1 mark taken off simply because I wish there were more than 10 shades to choose from.
