Charlotte Tilbury Holiday 2023 Collection Swatches

Charlotte Tilbury Holiday 2023 Collection launched a new, limited edition eyeshadow palette along with two blush/highlighter duos earlier this month. When I went to pull info for these, it looks like there were a couple of additional holiday products released, but I’m not sure I will pick them up yet.

This appears to be one collection that I can totally skip on. Very bland and it’s giving me old school drugstore vibes, especially that eyeshadow palette. I DO appreciate her putting out both a Light to Medium and a Tan to Deep cheek duo, though!
I was really disappointed by the fair/medium duo as the highlighter is described as a pearlescent pink, when it’s actually this very warm peach or rose gold
Sorry Charlotte, but I don’t like the eye pallete – a mx of pastels and overly warm neutrals – that don’t seem to work with each other.
However, I think the cheek duos might be the hero of this collection – Fair to Medium looks pretty good to me, although I am not sure that Tan – Deep covers all other skintones.
I don’t care for this at all. It just doesn’t say Holiday to me. If I wanted another pink shadow I would like Planet Pink but thankfully I don’t. It just seems like a weird color combination to me. I am left scratching my head everyday wondering why? I have to admit, I don’t care for CT’s eye shadows at all. I love the lipsticks and I am okay with the highlighters and blushes but the e/s formula just gets muddy on me.
