And I finally used my Red Carpet Red Matte Revolution sample. The lip samples are so cute but kind of a pain in the ass to apply. I think I need a better lip brush. I love this shade, a cool luminous red, but I have so many red lipsticks that I'm not sure I'll buy the full size.

That looks lovely on you. I think I have that sample but wasn't interested till now. Is it just a single use sachet?

Then forget the bar and go for NARS Vengeful blush/highlighter duo-----your money will be better spent. My Sister swatched Vengeful here: http://www.specktra.net/t/185585/all-things-sephora/30750
I totally followed your recommendation!!! Thanks, lady!

R.I.P. Love Glow. I knew you and love you but a short time before you slipped away, shattering like losing you has shattered my heart. :(

:shock:  Oh no!! :( yeah the glossy slippery exterior ......
Yeah, I've only had it since the last Spring sale....and I've been using it or MAC A Little Bit Lusty every day. I'm pretty bummed. Hopefully, CT or Nordies will have a discount for the holidays?? Because Spring doesn't carry the blush alone, just the set.

So I got the Book of Magic and the product I was most interested in was the Magic Night Cream. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I took a tiny bit from the cap and put it on my face and thought ... what the heck is this? It looks like a gelee but feels like Vaseline on. I used the tiniest amount. And it was, frankly, sticky and gross. It also has the same scent as the Goddess Clay Mask, which is great if you have something on your face for 10 minutes but not so great if it's on for hours. And I like the scent of the mask, am not particularly fragrance averse, but this was strong. I applied it all over my face (despite my initial misgivings) about an hour before I went to bed and it was still very tacky to the touch when I went to sleep. And ... when I woke up.

I love Magic Cream but there is no way I would purchase this. First ingredient is glycerine and I thought at first it was a switch between the balm and the new night cream. But nope, saw the Really Ree review (she - to me - inexplicably LOVES it) and it's the same pale peach jelly like product.

I'd rather slather my face in Vaseline. And I hate Vaseline. And I love the Tilbury line, so this has been a real disappointment.

I tried on both on the prowl and the huntress kits (one on each eye) and I swear they look the same unless you look up close to see the violet glitter in one and the bronze glitter in the other... I prefer the huntress as the bronze glitter was more noticeable. I really wish the base color was different for them, as honestly I don't see a huge difference.

I have to say I didn't either. I bought Huntress and On the Prowl is in the book of magic; otherwise, I would not have gotten it.

Yep! I got a sample packet & had to wash it off immediately it was so awful.

In a perverse way, I'm happy to hear this. Especially after I read the initial thoughts on Really Ree last night. I was so taken aback by how awful the product was and thinking, ok, I love her other products and she gets raves on everything. This has to just be me. I am going to try it again, on a day when it's really cold/dry out and see if it makes any difference. But I somehow doubt it.

Haha! There were others that posted that they hated it too.

Yep, my sample packet was half tested and immediately thrown away! For some reason I still really want to try the Goddess Clay Mask (I'm a sucker for punishment?), but the CT skincare has not been my favorite. I do love all the make up products I've tried and she makes some of my HG products, but I just can't get on with the cream/balms.

AND SHE USES SO MUCH ON THE MODELS IN HER TUTORIALS! I don't know how they can handle having that much slathered on their faces!

That video was hard to watch with all the cream she used LOL. It made my skin feel suffocated.

I have and like the clay mask. It does make my skin feel super nice after I use it and for something that's on my face for only 10 minutes, I can handle the scent and find it pleasant.

When I had one of the MUAs at the counter launch in Toronto do my makeup (she was with the Tilbury UK team) she used an incredible amount of Magic Cream on my face. i really didn't love that. The MUA said that's the way they are trained to use it, as more of a massage cream. My skin felt kind of tacky for hours after. When I use Magic Cream, it's a tiny dot and it's emollient enough to cover my whole face. It sinks in nicely and is a great layer for applying makeup. I think it's a lot like the Tom Ford primer (which she helped develop), actually.
