APRIL BEAUTY ROUNDUP | Faves, Fails & Updates!

[@berrytaylor12]

Hey Charlotte. Just wanted to say thanks for content, you’re one of my faves. You always look great x

[@Thistastesbad]

she does, doesn't she!

[@nadiadncr]

Agree 😊

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

Thank you so much!

[@ddavidjp]

gave all of my PMG motherships and ND palettes to my daughter - i’m at that point where i now prefer softer, lighter, more restrained eye looks. currently into chanel quads (not the quints which are powdery and terrible), dior (the most pigmented i will go now), and TF - i cannot wait to get my hands in hazy sensuality! also looking forward to the upcoming ysl mini clutch palettes - the cool toned stora dolls looks so good.

[@lindafinch3999]

Hi Charlotte I understood your problem with EL tinted moisturiser. As an ex EL consultant, if you use a little of it and rub it in, it will blend beautifully ! It has been about for years and is lovely also under a foundation which is maybe too light for you.💕

[@louisewarren6472]

I just want to say!I love your reviews that you give us on so many products!Your the best!!

[@whosvoice]

Re Pat McGrath Venusian Sunrise, I really love it… that gold is my favorite gold she has ever produced because of the orange undertone! And I have every mothership. However I will say that I bought this specifically to me my “glam palette to travel with” as I am a singer and boy this look is so stunning under stage lighting…. But super easy to put on without a lot of fuss cuz of the wonderful formulas.

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

Oooh perfect!!

[@0058010]

Idk what it is but you’ve been looking even more beautiful recently 😍 thank you as always for such a detailed and informative video ❤️

[@Smallgal100]

Your eyeshadow looks lovely on you. I have a Tom Ford quad which is my favourite eyeshadow palette. The ease of application and pretty yet subtle effect makes it a hit for me.

[@reneegrace7965]

That's so funny about your face tint! When I was a kid (oh so long ago) my parents would put Coppertone on me (I am not surprised if you have no idea what it is) but I had the same thing happen all over my body. I was brown and streaky and remember having to go to elementary school like that for days before it wore off😂

[@KatyHollandBeauty]

LOVE the Blanche Bete! I got a sample of it last summer and i'm saving up for a FB. That Tom Ford quad looks amazing on you. Charlotte - your sense of humor is so dang funny, I find myself laughing out loud at your videos either in agreement or your witty expressions.

[@Thistastesbad]

Commodity Gold is my jam. I also like Bloom and Bergamot. I like to layer the Bergamot with other perfumes I have. Or a quick spritz before bed.

[@virginibab7709]

Hi Charlotte I found the 11 Armani blush in Galeries Lafayette in Paris… it was the only shade available ! This launch was a total mess ! The 11 seems to be darker than the 10 but as neutral… imo bonne journée lovely

[@juanitalopez2070]

You are too funny, you really cheer me up, and your beautiful, love your channel

[@janemasini2810]

Looking AMAZING! I've tried daywear tinted moisturiser by Lauder I very fair being blonde went very warm on my skin, I did make it work by mixing it in with my moisturiser! ❤

[@andreapoulieva6717]

Hi Charlotte ! You look gorgeous, as ever 😍 I just ordered the shade 10 of the Armani Luminous Glow blush, which I was excited about...until now 😂

[@marianneparrishflorian6075]

So funny! Right about the end of you talking about commodity milk I noticed how absolutely great your eyeshadow looks in this video. Then we learn what it is. Another great tip. Thanks!

[@traciehill7295]

I love smitten! That's the shade I bought and it brings me so much joy. But I think my favorite thing in your videos is your GORGEOUS ring. It's such an eye catcher🤩

[@alyquick1599]

Aha! I misread the EL and thought it was factor 50 with a sheer tint. I put 3 fingers worth in and looked like an umper lumper

[@thebeauteatalk]

I bought the TF first frost holiday quad palette like 2 yrs ago, maybe as Mt first TF and love if similar color story bc natural nelly color story's r my jam. I also bought the newer cream shadow palette in that same sorta color story and love it as well. U just have to know what to look for and what u would really love or use.

[@rachelo6727]

Thanks for all your insight! I miss the Suqqu green and blue eyeshadow!

[@teresabyars4595]

I agree with you on using your hands! The reason I hate it is…it’s gets under my nails!

[@justilou1]

Hi Charlotte, I thought I would point you towards Alien Goddess Intense Mugler. (Don’t panic - it’s not at all like Angel 🤢) This one is coconut, booze and wood with white flowers. Sounds very much up your street. Not normally mine, but it’s lush!!!

[@glambysophie1]

Thank you for your thoughts on the oleplex dry shampoo. I´ve been on a mission to find a good one. I thinks this one might be it. 😘

[@lindacbenson4400]

Your makeup is especially lovely today Charlotte. 😘

[@JR-md9rz]

Those lashes have never looked better. I really can't take my eyes off them.🎉 I'm definitely looking at that fragrance (coconut) for the summer months

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

🙌🙌🙌

[@alicegoldenvalley]

Love your videos and I love your sense of humour XD Your videos always make me laugh!

[@annastrzala7666]

I picked up shade 10. For my skin tone It's a solid every day peachy, delicate blush. I tried 11 - very beautiful bronzy tan shade, but I have something similar from Hermes - Rose Tan Blush. I also tried 51 and 61 (It's a strawberry 🍓 shade). I agree with your opinion. There are many other and better formulas on the market, also other brands offer more interesting shades of blushes.

[@katyp.2495]

I'm with you regards the Armani blushers....confusion reigns but then it's easily done with me 🤔. The numbering of the Luminous Silk foundations are just as baffling as well. I notice the new Hourglass palette has yet again another pink blusher. I think the day I see a palette with colours like Dim Infusion or Incandescent Electra, I will have to be propped up with a couple of large g&t's!

[@laurenandestevan6588]

I ordered three Armani blushes, and returned two because I thought there formula was happy, but the one I kept 30, worked fine.

[@lavayuki]

I wanted the armani blush but your review has convinced me against it. I was thinking of the pink ecstasy shade. But might go for the too faced watermelon or Pat McGrath cherish instead

[@hildawhincup6700]

Thanks for this video always lovely to hear your opinions. Armani blushes. We had 5 show up here in Canada and of course the one I really wanted was 52 ecstasy the hot pink one. Ugh so I lucked out my daughter went to the US for something and she brought this one back for me. It is the only shade I wanted for the summer something jaw dropping bright and I like cooler shades. Yes very small but am happy with this shade. I am not sorry I got it I have no other blush this shade.

[@irina.hofmann]

Hi Charlotte, as for the coconut scented summer perfume - you should try Virgin Island Water by Creed

[@lorrinatreadway2938]

I love your videos thanks from across the pond. What are you doing for the coronation. I know that's not your type of content but I would've liked a whole video on your take on the coronation of your King Charles.

[@lorrainemallory6951]

Hi! In the Netherlands we got shade 10 and 11, 11 is indeed glowy! We did not get 61…

[@eimearinez]

Had a similar experience by the Bondi Sands tinted Spf 50 goes on lighter then gets darker n so streaky as I applied it like a moisturiser def can’t wear it alone

[@liannapeterson8846]

You’re so funny, love your videos!

[@nadiadncr]

Great video Charlotte you look amazing 😊

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

Thank you!

[@kat3325]

I’m the same with hands. For just one simple reason. I like to do my make up fast. When you apply foundation with hands, they get stained, means if you need to grab another product, you have to wash your hands AGAIN, and you need to wipe it, AGAIN. Sometimes foundation can get a bit more stubborn and stay on your fingers anyways. No thanks, my make up takes 20 min or so, I don’t need extra problems.

[@deborah972]

Great video ,Charlotte 🎉 ❤ xx

[@jillpotts7472]

your bronzer looks fantastic! im hoping u tell us what u r wearing!!!

[@Rigyification]

It is a Dior bronzer, Charlotte always have a list of make-up worn in her description

[@elizabethannferrario7113]

Hi charlotte yes i have the Tom ford quad and its lovely , no i don’t buy Pat Mcgrath , bronzers not for me , i need a cooler tone being so pale sadly .

[@katherinem2512]

Milk+ is one of my top 2 fragrances of all time ❤

[@sunshinestate4001]

I've got the armani blush 50 and Mario new butter lip,3 shade of the PM bronzer,stil waiting for the Fenty mascara and I never got a chance to try them yet🤔🤫🫣 between 2 kids,2 cats and a partner something always happening...But Im eager to try them already.Oh and first time in my 45 years of life tryed the self taning and I am impressed very much with that cause Im even lighter then snowwhite...like a freshly washed in bleech linen😂I enjoyed this video,thank you very much again Charlotte❤

[@elisasilva5621]

thank you for another wonderful video!! can you recommend a cushion foundation, I'm traveling to europe and I think it'd be great to carry in my handbag.. any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

[@AntheaToya]

Re the Armani blushes, yes you’re right that some shades have been a mystery. I checked their instagram and based on comments, they will make the elusive shades available on May 15th in the US but they have not spoken to other markets. If you message them or post a comment on their posts, they will dm you the details…I know it’s all very clandestine 😂 I’ve grown to love how smooth they are.

Laughing my head off at “it has been a challenging month.” Oh the challenges of deciding which beauty products I like . . . So much harder than treating the mentally ill all day long and making sure they don’t kill themselves . . . Don’t worry I still love you Charlotte! You’re just making me feel solid in my career choice because I would hate to feel challenged like that!!

[@thebeauteatalk]

I don't understand. y Pat Mcgrath can do a natural palette, but it's always really warm toned. I don't want super cool toned either bc she's done that as well but I want natural everyday shades for like every day just not super warm or super cool like right down the middle. Maybe I sound crazy but I know it can be done bc I have palettes like that. I just want one from her with her super crazy amazing formulas.

[@solegr8]

Absolutely amazing!💗

[@debbieotoole1072]

If i could take the Hourglass highlighter out of that palette and put it in my elephant palette, that would be perfection 😊

[@heena1799]

Hi, can i ask what shade of the tom ford foundation stick did you get? Thank you :)

[@Midwest_Sunshine]

Firstly, “balls” and “that’s what she said” had me absolutely cracking up! As for the products…I was disappointed by the Armani blush, too. I bought shade 50 and it was way too sheer for my light skin. I thought it looked a lot like NARS Orgasm also, except Orgasm has a much better color payoff. I unfortunately sent the Armani back. My wallet is ok with it. 😂 But I do love the PML Nude Honey bronzer!

[@CharlotteHoldcroft]

[@maireadweaver8952]

I found the Fenty mascara really really difficult to use. Waaaay too much product comes out and I found myself spending 5mins or more trying to scrape the product off the wand. Like you it stuck my lashes together and was just a lot of hard work .. I am very tempted to put a drop of Duraline into the bottle to see if this helps .. has anyone done this with a mascara? xx Otherwise it will be such an annoying waste of money because I am just not gonna bother with it.

[@MarniMedia]

I agree about the odd Armani blush release, especially since it fell far short of what Gucci and Valentino have put out for blushes. The Armani just felt like a half-hearted Nars dupe that nobody really asked for. I'm sure it's nice, but it's not splurge-worthy for sure!

[@chrissymoss514]

Oh dear, I wish I had waited until I heard your final thoughts on the Armani blushers - I used your link and ordered 30, 50 and 51. Hmmmmmmm, do Harrods except unopened/unused cosmetics returns (Harvey Nichols certainly does not)? Anyhoooooo, this is another fantastic vid, thank you 😊 Love ya 💗🤍💗🤍💗

[@jkhc29]

Hi Charlotte, how do you like the new DIOR Luminzer to the Guerlain Terracotta Luminzer on O1 gold? Thx. J.

[@celinag9968]

Uh! I totally just stocked up with a mini & full size of the living proof dry shampoo. You have to remind me about the orlaplex during the next Sephora sale!! You better not forget! What was I talking about again…

[@roselovesmakeup]

Charlotte you haven’t talked about the Dior new blush that you got in not too long ago I haven’t heard anything about that blush

[@CareyXO]

I feel the same way about the Armani blushes. I was disappointed. I’m not usually crazy over Pat McGrath, but I love the bronzer. The color I chose is perfect for me. I use the glowy one as eyeshadow and I love it that way.

[@katharinem1557]

How does the Tom Ford compare with Nude Dip? It looks soooo similar.

[@jillpotts7472]

i really look forward to watching your videos.

[@dbbsharkey]

Haha Charlotte,, the thought of you smelling like a bounty bar tickles my pickle 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@HannaTK]

Hey Charlotte, I so wish I saw your video before i wasted my money on the Armani blush. It was a nice sanity check because I thought I was the only person who wasn't wow'ed with these. I got 50 and yes it looks pretty when swatched, but it's just noting special when applied and far too expensive for what it is. I used it today and then added CT blush on top - says something, right? Hmmmm 🤔

[@hayleesutton]

Hi! What shade in the Tom Ford foundation?

[@twoleftfeet9626]

I tried the commodity discovery set (the black bottle ones). They all smelt utterly horrible on me. I gave them to a friend and they all smelled equally as horrible on her. Put me right off the brand. Loved the Pat Mcgrath bronzer. The lightest shade is perfect for fair skin. Loved the Armani blush shade 51 as well. I got rid of the Olaplex dry shampoo, as the Olaplex products made my hair break off and shed massively

[@bookshopgirlilmariel2510]

Yeah I tried it too and was utterly disappointed. The fragrances smell incredibly synthetic.

[@twoleftfeet9626]

@@bookshopgirlilmariel2510 yes, they weren't even a pleasant synthetic. I am amazed that Charlotte (or anyone else) likes them

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

I'm always mesmerised by your skin and lashes. Can I recommend my latest love to you and all comment section surfers? It's 'Amika: the kure bond repair shampoo'. I'm so addicted to the smell I want to wash my hair every day just to smell it. HIGHLY recommend, especially going into summer. I thought Kevin Murphy's shampoos smelled delicious but this one trumps everything, by far the best smelling shampoo on the market. 🥰🥰🥰

[@DeborahCarlston]

Thanks for the review. Like you, I was disappointed in the Armani blush. Got the #50, but it's a lot more pigmented than many reviewers led me to believe. I used it out as a blush topper and it was so bright on my Light skin. I looked like a crazy old lady who needs specs. As for new perfume, I prefer ambery notes and had a tough time finding anything that didn't give me a headache. But I am enjoying Paris-Paris (requires the bath products to last more than about 10 minutes), and Coco Mademoiselle Privee (which is weird because I hate Coco Mademoiselle. I can even wear the Intense, it seems.). I will also end up with the Eden Roc eye palette when Macy's can finally get my order straight. Do I need it when I can dupe it with a navy liner and a neutral palette? No. Do I want it? Inexplicably, yes. Thanks for the video!💚
