I received the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick as a gift at Christmas and I've thought about writing a review ever since but today I noticed that it looked awfully similar to a lipstick that I already own so I decided why not share a quick review and my new found dupe for anyone looking for something similar on a budget.
Let's start with my thoughts on the Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick, the packaging is stunning, it comes in a rose gold tube that feels very vintage and luxe. The lipstick itself has a soft matte finish that's really flattering and doesn't look or feel too dry. Pillow Talk is a nude pink shade that, according to Charlotte Tilbury suits almost all skin tones. I really love this as a daily lipstick as it gives you that 'your lips but better' look, it's really easy to wear and would go well with most make-up looks.
This lipstick costs £25 so it is expensive but if you do want something that feels a bit special or something that would make a good gift then I would recommend it but if you just want a similar shade with a smaller price tag then I've found a dupe! The Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Crayon in the shade Lead the Way is such a similar shade that when both are on the lips side by side it's difficult to tell the difference. I have looked closely at both of them and the Maybelline lipstick is very slightly darker and pinker than the Charlotte Tilbury lipstick but they both have that soft matte finish. Now the best part is the Maybelline lipstick is less than half the price at £9.99, so if you are on the lookout for a beautiful nude lipstick then you have something to suit any budget yaay!
