And what better way to start this new year, with not 1 simple review, but a 7 in 1\u00a0review of\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlottetilbury.com\/uk\/the-golden-goddess-gift-box.html\" target=\"_blank\">Charlotte Tilbury The Golden Goddess Gift Box<\/a>?<\/h2>\n<p>I really discovered the\u00a0brand <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlottetilbury.com\/uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Charlotte Tilbury<\/a> last year. I got a little taste of\u00a0the quality of her products late 2014 with my first Matte Revolution lipstick, <a href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/en\/2014\/11\/03\/charlotte-tilbury-matte-revolution-love-liberty-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Love Liberty<\/a>, which I still love (since then, I maybe expand a little bit my collection ahem).<\/p>\n<p>I have had my eyes on\u00a0the fabulous Charlotte Tilbury Gift Box for some time now. These are types\u00a0of very complete\u00a0makeup kits with different makeup\u00a0products in a super cute makeup bag. Very tempting, isn&#8217;t it? <span class=\"wp-smiley emoji emoji-wink\" title=\";)\">wink<\/span><br \/>\nThere are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlottetilbury.com\/uk\/gifts-for-her\/\" target=\"_blank\">several<\/a>, with different product mixes. You just have\u00a0to find the one that contains the most products you like. And of course, the interest part\u00a0is that it&#8217;s <strong>cheaper<\/strong> than if you buy all the products separately.<br \/>\nWell, keeping that in mind, and considering\u00a0the Charlotte Tilbury price range, it will never really be &#8220;cheap&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Taking advantage of the good times of November\/December (Birthday\/Christmas months), I bought\u00a0the &#8216;The Golden Goddess&#8217; kit because it contains\u00a0a lot of products I was drooling over for months. It is sold <strong>$230<\/strong>\u00a0(if you buy the products and the makeup bag\u00a0separately, it costs about $239) which is such a shame: when\u00a0I bought it in euros:\u00a0the Gift Box is sold 195 euros on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.net-a-porter.com\/fr\/en\/product\/417995\/charlotte_tilbury\/the-golden-goddess\" target=\"_blank\">Net-A-Porter<\/a> and the products separately cost 234 euros!

It can also be applied all over the lid to unify it. It&#8217;s a <strong>very light beige<\/strong> color, quite\u00a0creamy,\u00a0and with a<strong> satin finish<\/strong>.<br \/>\n&#8211; the second one, <strong>Enhance<\/strong>, is a transition shade but can also be applied\u00a0on\u00a0the eyelid to give some dimension. The color here\u00a0is a <strong>neutral medium\u00a0brown<\/strong>, also with a <strong>satin finish<\/strong>.<br \/>\n&#8211; the third one,<strong> Smoke<\/strong>, will intensify and smoke (as the name suggests) the makeup look.\u00a0You can apply it in the outer corner or along the\u00a0lashes. This is a <strong>warm\u00a0brown<\/strong>, quite <strong>shimmery<\/strong>.<br \/>\n&#8211; the last one, <strong>Pop<\/strong>, is pressed glitter.\u00a0You can apply it in the center\u00a0of the eyelid, with your fingertip for more intensity. It&#8217;s a very wearable glitter shade, in the same harmony of the other shade, a <strong>bronzy brown<\/strong>, very luminous without being too &#8220;in your face&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Quality wise, the eyeshadows are <strong>very pigmented and easy to blend<\/strong>.

As I&#8217;ve said many times here, I have quite long eyelashes but quite fine and very straight. With\u00a0a mascara, I especially expect some\u00a0volume and curl. If in addition, it&#8217;s ultra-black, it&#8217;s perfect!<br \/>\nIn my personal pantheon of mascaras, nothing has managed to dethrone <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chanel.com\/fr_FR\/parfums-beaute\/maquillage\/p\/yeux\/mascaras\/le-volume-de-chanel-waterproof-mascara-p194210.html?sku=P194210\" target=\"_blank\">Le Volume waterproof de CHANEL<\/a> for now. I know it&#8217;s a hit and miss for a lot of people, but I personally love the &#8216;fat eyelashes&#8217; effect.<\/p>\n<p>But back to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlottetilbury.com\/uk\/full-fat-lashes-glossy-black.html\" target=\"_blank\">Full Fat Lashes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I would describe it as\u00a0a <strong>volumizing<\/strong> mascara but quite <strong>natural<\/strong>. No risk of clumpy lashes with this one, it really <strong>separates<\/strong> the lashes. In addition, it is very <strong>buildable<\/strong>; you can add a lot layers without ending with spidery lashes.<br \/>\nIt is also\u00a0<strong>lengthening\u00a0and curling<\/strong>. And the curl holds\u00a0(even if\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0not waterproof, which is rare enough to be said).<br \/>\nI wouldn&#8217;t call it ultra-black but it&#8217;s still well pigmented and really intensifies the lashes.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s also <strong>not smudgy<\/strong> at all\u00a0and believe me with my long eyelashes and my oily skin, I&#8217;m a good subject of study for this kind of stuff! <span class=\"wp-smiley emoji emoji-wink\" title=\";)\">wink<\/span><br \/>\nAnd finally, the icing on the cake, it super <strong>easy to remove<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>In summary, it&#8217;s not better than my beloved CHANEL but it&#8217;s a great option for a day when I want a more &#8220;natural&#8221; look.<\/p>\n<p>The price of the\u00a0mascara Full Fat Lashes: <strong>$29<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Charlotte Tilbury Cheek To Chic blush Ecstasy:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"full-width\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_blush_Cheek_To_Chic_Ecstasy.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9121\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9121\" src=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_blush_Cheek_To_Chic_Ecstasy.jpg\" alt=\"Charlotte Tilbury Cheek To Chic blush Ecstasy\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"portrait-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_blush_Cheek_To_Chic_Ecstasy_zoom.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9123\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9123\" src=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_blush_Cheek_To_Chic_Ecstasy_zoom.jpg\" alt=\"Charlotte Tilbury Cheek To Chic blush Ecstasy\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_blush_Cheek_To_Chic_Ecstasy_swatches.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9122\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9122\" src=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_blush_Cheek_To_Chic_Ecstasy_swatches.jpg\" alt=\"Charlotte Tilbury Cheek To Chic blush Ecstasy swatches\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Big <strong>big crush<\/strong>\u00a0on this\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlottetilbury.com\/uk\/6-shades-of-love-ecstacy.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ecstasy<\/a>\u00a0Cheek to Chic blush!<\/p>\n<p>The packaging is absolutely sublime, even if inside, the shape of the two powders looks like a boob\u00a0(Come on, you saw it too!

The glitter is very\u00a0subtle and very<strong> luminous, <\/strong>like a lip lacquer<strong>.<\/strong><br \/>\nUnlike many others, this gloss is <strong>not too sticky<\/strong> (I hate it when it&#8217;s like\u00a0that), it&#8217;s quite\u00a0<strong>comfortable<\/strong> and <strong>long-lasting<\/strong> (4h on me).<\/p>\n<p>The price of the Ibiza Nights lip gloss: $22.<\/p>\n<h3>Charlotte Tilbury The Golden Goddess Gift Box, on me:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"portrait-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_makeup_look.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9130\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9130\" src=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_makeup_look.jpg\" alt=\"Charlotte Tilbury The Golden Goddess Gift Box makeup\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_makeup_look_.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9131\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9131\" src=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_makeup_look_.jpg\" alt=\"Charlotte Tilbury The Golden Goddess Gift Box makeup\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"portrait-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_luxury_eyeshadow_palette_zoom.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9128\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9128\" src=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_luxury_eyeshadow_palette_zoom.jpg\" alt=\"The Golden Goddess Luxury Eyeshadow Palette makeup look\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_lip_kit_zoom.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9129\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9129\" src=\"https:\/\/bonniegarner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Charlotte_Tilbury_The_Golden_Goddess_Gift_Box_lip_kit_zoom.jpg\" alt=\"Charlotte Tilbury The Golden Goddess Lip Kit makeup look\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>As you can see, this is an easy makeup look to wear, and even when you add some\u00a0glitter, it&#8217;s still wearable during\u00a0the day because it&#8217;s subtle.<\/p>\n<h3>So, in summary:<\/h3>\n<p>[wprs-pros][wprs-cons]<\/p>\n<p>The Golden Goddess Gift Box is available on the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.charlottetilbury.com\/uk\/the-golden-goddess-gift-box.html\" target=\"_blank\">Charlotte Tilbury <\/a>\u00a0website or on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.net-a-porter.com\/fr\/en\/product\/417995\/charlotte_tilbury\/the-golden-goddess\" target=\"_blank\">Net-A-Porter<\/a>\u00a0for $230.<\/p>\n<h5>And you, have you already heard about the Charlotte Tilbury brand?
