Edit: Charlotte Tilbury is available in China, but remains cruelty free. :) my mistake in the video! Thanks! It's finally here!! My secrets about one of my favorite brands, and one of your HIGHLY-REQUESTED brands, Charlotte Tilbury! :) Ps. Thank you for all the love on my microbladed brows.. in this video they are peeling and patchy just because they are going through the healing process :) I'm excited for the end result but it does take weeks of healing and a touch up appointment to reach the end! :) xox
What most brands do is they sell through Hong Kong to China so they can remain cruelty free but still sell in China and not directly in China. people tend to think Hong Kong and China are the same which they aren’t.
I think we should all tweet and Instagram her not to sell her company once estee Lauder takes it over she will be pushed out and all her fabulous products will go down in quality.
I’ve never been into this brand. It’s way too expensive and I don’t love the marketing. Featuring these 20-year-old perfect women most of the time. It’s a brand I choose not to give my money to.
I love this series! Maybe the next one could be hourglass? Also, if Harvey doesn't want to be on your videos, IT'S FINE! So people should not get upset cause he is not if he does not want to be just because he is super cute (just my thoughts)
@@AClutterFreeLife True, but for many products it depends how clean you keep them. I have many Mac eyeshadows, cream and powder, that are ten years old. I clean my brushes frequently, and always sanitize hands before dipping into a product; I also use none of my makeup if I have a cold to avoid getting germs in it (I migiht use an almost finished mascara and discard it immediately after the cold has passed). Similarly, I have 10 year old Mac lipsticks (and many other brands) that smell and feel the same. Some brands (especially drugstore) smell rancid after a couple of years, I'd definitely not use such products anymore. But I've never had any problems with using 10 year old makeup by brands like Mac, Bobbi Brown, Tom Ford and some of my Charlotte items are already over the 5 year mark, too. They have to put an expiration date, and want to put one a. to avoid liability, b. to make people throw away product and replace it even though it is completely fine. I would not use old products on other people, so I get replacing if you are a pro MUA, but for a consumer keeping their products clean and well cared for, you can use them a lot longer wihtout problems.
may be they want to buy it to eliminate a rival change the brand people loose interest and then it disappears. Loreal bought Charles of the Ritz my favourite makeup from years ago it then completely disappeared!
I‘m a former Lead Artist with her Team and brand and recall a gossip from EL saying their first offer was... (lol) 5 mil. Apparently she laughed them out of office.
Harvey!!😍 Charlotte, herself, is one of the best salespeople on the planet, hands down. She talks about her products in such a unique way. Thanks for this video, Jena!
I loved this secrets video! Thank you! Here's one I can add for Charlotte Tilbury: you get much more product if you buy the specialty eyeshadow palettes at $75 (Starry Eyes) or $65 (Icons) than you get with the quads. Not just way more shades, but also actual grams of product for the money.
I’m so bummed I’ve only recently found your channel! I love high-end/luxury makeup (esp. CT!) but I am also trying to reign in my spending and over purchasing of makeup. Thank you for helping me be a better consumer!
I bought the Pillow Talk quad and I am not a fan because the shadows fade into one another within 2 hours or so - and I don't have creasing issues. However, I am a fan of her Hollywood filter, her glow face primer and her light coverage foundation/tinted moisturizer (forgot the name). I also love both face palettes released last spring - I used the dark version all summer and the light version is perfect for wintertime - I can create volume and glow with those palettes.
I love Flawless Filter(4&5) but her contour/highlight duo (bronze&glow) is too pale and the highlighter in the ned/deep is too coppery for me. Live the formula. I hate when brands promote false scarcity but the fomo's fall everytime
I have recently purchased a few products from CT. I think I'll order a few mystery boxes before I purchase anything else. Thanks for sharing your fur baby with us and your brows are looking great! Love you girl.
I love CT and I think you hit all the high points! I didn’t know she might be selling her brand! I hope she doesn’t, but if she does, I hope her quality doesn’t change. Great video, Jena!
From someone who worked for the brand... 1 - The 24hr promo she does as a pre launch, you'll notice they will be careful with the wording. Usually the full collection then launches 2 weeks later with full stock. 2 - Charlotte Darling is all 6 of the most popular shades from last year's IEP. I don't understand why it's being pitched as new because it was so popular we'd all love to buy it anyway! 3 - Mystery boxes are left over stock, popular items, or stock that we have surplus of as opposed to new releases so definitely more for a new customer and a great way of trying the brand! 4 - The company is not being sold as far as I am aware. A cruelty free brand owned by a parent company who is not cruelty free is so counter intuitive so hopefully this never happens. 5 - great points!
I bought this year's Black Friday mystery box, and I think it was an awesome buy (and I am no newbie)! There was magic cream, brightening Youth Glow, Clay Mask... All full sized products, and brilliant range of make-up products. When you take into account the freebies with purchase, too, it came to over £400 in value. The Summer Mystery Box did have a lot of double ups in my collection, so I guess it is all swings and roundabouts.
I bought the other December mystery box with the icon palette....and wow its brilliant...love the latex lips in berry nude its fantastic....I should have got the black friday box with the free gifts definitely missed out there but wow I'm a fan....as an older lady her makeup suits me really well....her blush in the climax is the best 😊....Love the points made!!!!
I love this eye look on you. The gradation from light to dark on your lids complements your eye shape and the colours themselves enhance your skin tone.
Want to mention that I managed to get the PML Divine Rose palette from her site this morning. I look forward to using it. It's now sold out. This is definitely the most neutral and beginner friendly of all PML palettes, even more than the Subliminal palette, which has a deep black and a deep blue. I haven't seen you wear yours again so I hope you haven't changed your mind about it.
3 months later, thank you for this info. I'm just about to buy my 2nd Charlotte Tilbury product, the limited edition Pillow Talk eye pallet. Those colors are in my dreams. Not so much with the other 2 holiday pallets. And, I look forward to the mystery boxes as I am new to her line, and as you said, it should only enhance my collection. Thank you for the information.
I love Charlotte Tilbury so I was afraid to watch this LOL. But it actually wasn't that bad in terms of dishing. I didn't know about the Estee Lauder sale though! I really hope the quality doesn't go down:(
I work at upscale department store and I’ve also heard that CT is in talks with Estée Lauder. I’m also afraid the brand and quality will diminish as they also do once added to their portfolio.
I noticed this year she always says Exclusive on her website! But it launches at Sephora I could have got it at 20% off. Its all marketing strategy!! Now i know to wait for next year.
I’m guilty for buying everything Charlotte Tilbury and it’s getting really out of hand, I can’t seem to stop 😬 I’m seriously addicted. Every time I say to myself, that’s it no more you have everything! Then she comes out with Charlotte Darling like wtf!! The idea of a mystery box seems tempting but I’ll most likely end up with duplicates knowing my luck xx
Tom Ford is owned by Estes Lauder and Charlotte helped develop his line many years ago. You will notice many similarities in the products if you compare.. The writing is on the wall I’m afraid.
I'm so late to your channel. I came here for your Mel Thompson tribute, beautiful by the way, and I remember her speaking so kindly of you. You aren't wrong with those holiday "limited edition" palettes and I grabbed that "charlotte darling" palette, shades from one of her holiday palettes. I use it nearly on the daily, and I have quite of a few of her quads now. I'm a huge CT fan, and although I believe she did actually sell to Estee Lauder, I'm much more hesitant to buy every single thing that comes out. So many dupes! Thank you for being wonderful and thank you for remembering our Mel!
I'm sorry, the show stopper was the baby you have in your arms!. Oh, his name is Harvy, a cute & adorable name to go with his precious baby face and fluffy head. I wish I could hug him. Good review on Charlotte Tillbury secrets too. Thanks
Hi I love Charlotte tilbury I have 5 quad palettes it’s recently that’s what I ready for daily so I have done a mega declutter and only kept my luxury makeup all my drug store makeup have been donated to my family , I only use Estée Lauder Charlotte tilbury and Chanel and a few products from YSL , I have started to love my makeup again I now love doing my makeup. But skin care is far more important than makeup , remember you need a good canvas to apply your paints !
Hi Jena, I bought the Starry Eyes to Hypnotise by Charlotte Tilbury. It is a pretty palette, all colors wear good on me, but...i was expecting something more than what it is, not sure how to say so eloquently. I love eyeshadows, therefore, i have more palettes than normal person should. I own several from Viseart, Too Faced, Huda Beauty, Urban Decay, and Tarte. I feel that they are just good if not better than the Charlotte Tilbury. I am gonna keep it but it didnt wow me🤷🏻♀️
If EL keep CT on, possibly as quality control or product formulator, the sell out might not effect the quality. However, if all ties are severed I don't believe it's going to be successful. Whenever there's a "takeover" standards drop and prices increase.
Hi Jena, I have a question about CT shadows. I only have the icon palette and have not used that much. I was wondering if the quad formula is any different from the icon palette. And what would be a more wearable daily quad from her line? I am sorry to hear she might sell to EL. I think it is terrible when a large company takes over and changes a good brand. Hopefully that won't happen. I think overall consumers like good quality and to me that is more important.
PS. I think Pat Mcgrath did the same thing with the limited release of her Divine Rose palette. Psychologically, I feel it produced an "I got to have it now!" desire in me. But I am not getting that.
Awoman WithoutReligion yah well I guess you can't read dummy. Since Kylie was able to sell to Coty then Charlotte Tillbury being sold to Estee Lauder is a matter of time.
Here’s something she won’t tell you! Her website will add things to your cart at the very end of the transaction and you’d be lucky to catch it before they charge your card! Unbelievable.
Nooooo - I hope she doesn’t sell to Estee Lauder, but can see why a $1 billion would be nearly impossible to pass up!! I don’t completely agree with you about the dupes. I have nearly every single CT palette and there are only a handful of dupes. I’ve also been made aware (except Dreamgasm) of any duplicate shades before buying, and passed on the new Charlotte Darling since I have them all. Love you and your channel - a breath of fresh air!!
Tip - super model body buy the big tub not the tub and use a sponge of your own you’ll save a lot of money. You can also wear this on your face as a gorgeous highlighter I personally think it’s nicer than her highlight stick. I used to buy the wonderglow primer, flawless filter, highlight wand and supermodel model ( costing in excess of $200) now I just buy supermodel body and use it as a primer and face and body highlighter ($40) and get exact same look.
The new brows are very flattering...i love it that you are a Canadian...from the prairies even!! A billion dollars is very hard to pass up...would totally understand if Charlotte decided to sell
The Whole point of Charlotte darling palette is so that you can have her favorite shades from the stars in your eyes holiday collection in a smaller packaging permanently , and the Dreamgasm palette is a combination of the favorited shades from Bella Sofia palette, transformeyes limited edition palette, and pillow talk for the pop shade then a new color for the smoke shade. But that’s just ur opinion on the products x
I cannot stand how they market products that don’t look anything like the ads ie Pillow Talk Diamonds, thankfully I tried it on before buying, it’s a joke of a lipstick!
I really hope she doesn't sell, CT has become my guilty pleasure and my favorite brand--much to my surprise. From the decline in quality to the loss of Charlotte's vision, what future innovations would we miss out on? Say it isn't so!
They better not sell to EL!!! I use to work for MAC which is owned by EL companies - and in the training they told us to tell people that they are cruelty free, even though they are NOT!! Selling in China = Not cruelty free...Period! And as someone who is Vegan and only uses cruelty free makeup on myself and my clients, if Char Til were to sell her company off to EL, I would no longer consider them as cruelty free or purchase their products :( :(
I really do love her brow lift pencil. I have tried several other brow pencils, trying to find a cheaper alternative, but none of them go on as well, or look as natural as hers. It’s the only product of hers I’ve tried, but it is truly impressive, but then again, the price tag is pretty impressive too! LOL! The holiday palette is pretty, and I’ve thought of getting one of her palettes, although I’m still thinking I’d like a green, and one of her quads with a green might be a better option, we’ll see!
Hi new sub here 👋 Loving your videos, really appreciate all the hard work & effort you put into them. Extra bonus is seeing Harvey, he is just perfection 💗🐶💗 xxxx
The Hot Lips 2 Refillable Lipstick case/packaging print, particularly my Amazing Amal easily fades. If you want to keep the print intact I recommend you put it inside a lipstick case. I’m quite disappointed because I expected the quality of the case to be high quality enough to reuse it with refills. :(
Hi Jenna and harvey!!!! Didn’t know about Charlotte Tilbury selling her company to Estee Lauder, sadly it is a lot of money and I think it’s only a matter of time so Jenna please I just discovered the brand and I am enjoying the cream eye shadows I am currently using rose gold and I am Loving it, I just have to be extra careful when I am doing the lower eye liner for any product getting into my eyes cause I wear contact lenses and if some product manages to do it inside the eye it is really a mess cause the contact lents gets stained and the eyeshadow kind of glued to it no way to remove it, whatever and I just purchased the darling eyeshadow to try the regular eyeshadows , the flawless filter which I love and the flawless finishing powder, so I think it is time to stock up om what I am currently using🥰🌸, thanks for the tip, love the brand, it’s a shame I just was kinda getting to know it better!!!!!🦋love you regards from Barcelona🌈❤️❤️🦋🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗
So good, Jena - thank you for this! Literally texting my girlfriends rn about the takeover bid - didn't know that! We're massive Charlotte fans and have gone to a couple of personal appearances. I am firmly cruelty-free and hope Charlotte won't change (like dumb Nars). Her products are so beautiful and beautifying, and I eat up her over-the-top storytelling magic! Few duds for me as well - maybe Hollywood Lips and Brightening Youth Glow Primer? - and so many wins: Light Wonder Foundation, Airbrush Flawless Powder, Hollywood Flawless Filter, Eyes to Mesmerize, lipsticks, Color Chameleons, Rock & Kohls, Beach Sticks (underrated tho overpriced), Bronze & Glow, Hollywood Contour Wand (which I didn't even think I'd like), shadows, blushes ... Heck, I even enjoy the Latex Love glosses that everyone said smell terrible (I love it). PS: Why don't you tell us your secret - Harvey is a puppet, isn't he?! Ugh, he's so sleepy and sweet 🥰
Hi yes I have 6 quads and Charlotte darling ,blusher ,powder, concealer, brow pencil, lipsticks 7 mascara, contour , eyeliner , lip liner in pillow talk , Flawless filter , collagen lip gloss , foundation I still to my favourite which is Estée Lauder perfectionist youth infusing foundation, which is perfect for my mature skin I love all her products , apart from foundation .which I haven’t even tested ,
I love CT's products and have many, many of them. However, I dislike her advertising/marketing methods. I hate all the 'darling' way of speaking to customers and how she pretends to 'care'. She is a ruthless business woman. There is nothing wrong with that, but she is just so unlikeable. Give me Lisa Eldridge any day. Her customer service is second to none and I can feel confident that her products are of the highest quality. Lisa is pure class. CT tries to be.
I totally agree. The PR side of it is very over the top. I do love her products so kudos to CT for being the brains behind the science / goals of the line. But I agree, Lisa E is pure class.
Hi Jena! thanks for another amazing and informative video. I also love Charlotte Tilbury and I enjoy every product I have especially the lipsticks. I had no idea E.L. was interested in acquiring the company...it is an offer she can not refuse, look at what happened to Brandon when he started speaking out against them. Anyway...on a lighter note, do you know if there is a dupe for the Confession lipstick? it is one of my favorites and I am running low. And also, do you know enough beef about TF? a video about it would also be fun. Thanks again Jena! and BTW your eyebrows are looking very, very good! xo
I tried a lipstick from the hot lips 2 collection, and it was not at all good for me. I returned it, because the formula clung to some parts on my lips and disappeared completely in other spots. I returned it, which I never do with makeup, I always keep whatever the product is and try to make it work, and I really wanted this one to work because I loved the name and the packaging, but this was literally the worst lipstick I have ever tried, so back it went. I have heard since that while some people swear by her lipsticks, other people have had experienced what I did, so I feel slightly less terrible about it.
Hi Jena. I am new to your channel - found you while researching Charlotte Tilbury. I purchased the Pillow Talk collection and love the colors, but I had problems with both the eyeshadow & the blush/highlighter disintegrating, which caused a big loss of the product. Do you have any suggestions?
Im new to CT but I just love how nice and high end her products are. I know that shes expensive but I feel like I get worth for my money . All her eyeshadows or lipsticks feel so natural and not overly dramatic on a daily basis and thats what I love about her range especially The pillowtalk range. I dont see a reason for her to sell her company. If you love your brand and have a passion for what you’re creating then you would be mad to sell your own company. Lets hope that these are just speculations from others. This was a very helpfull video! ☺️
Donna K. Shes already rich, if you have money and are happy with what you own you normally dont want more. But ofc there are people that do . Doesnt instantly mean that everyone always wants money. If you own a horse you love and someone wants to buy it you dont randomly sell it either
Hi Jena...I am new to your channel and I love your format...you give so much useful info and that's something I appreciate...there's always something to learn and I'm getting great tips from you..so thank you.very much❤❤
I’m over her releasing same shades over and over again.. the Darling palette looks just like the palette during the Nordstrom sale .. i sure hope she doesn’t sell her company 😭😭😭😭 !! I better stock up in case the quality changes.. this isn’t a good news !!
Jena Froese look what happened to Tom Ford the eyeshadows in the pot were the same ingredients as the Mac painterly pots but triple the price ,and the concealer.. i heard Tatcha sold it’s company as well and drunk e .. only two i actually use from Sephora..
Amy Robertson i bought the pillow talk pops of colors.. please it doesn’t show up at all as pigmented as it does on her IG .. same old shades over and over again.. as much as i love her products I’m over it !!
Alisa Sepe I wonder what other type of pies they have their hands in. When you become that powerful people or entities naturally get involved politics or anything that has to do with gaining more power control over people.
EL is a behemoth. Problem is we are heading into where only the giants will remain and devour or make impossible for any startups. Just like Google and FB, no new startups can gain a foot in.
Jena- I have to say you are just too cute for words- I enjoy your knowledge and the time you put into sharing information!!! And can I say, Harvey... OMG!! I don’t know how you ever let go of that sweet baby!!! I don’t subscribe to many ... but you two are my favorite!! And I will say it again- you are the cutest ever! You could be my daughter - your so in love with the beauty industry!!!!! How fun to shop with you.... Keep it up-
CT was the designer for Tom Ford Beauty which is why their eye shadow quads look so similiar. Who owns Tom Ford Beauty? Estee Lauder. CT left to start her own brand and now Estee Lauder wants to purchase it; not surprised in any way.
Wow, I’m a huge CT fan and didn’t know about the bid from Lauder. OK, it’s not a huge surprise I guess but I would worry for the quality and creative input (I know Jo Malone was not allowed to have any once she sold out). Totally agree that you can’t go far wrong with Charlotte’s products. Although I have a huge make-up collection, it’s always Charlotte that I reach for on date night, going somewhere special or even if I have to scramble to get ready quickly in 5 minutes for work. Her products don’t require much effort to look good. xx
Everyone is selling out. I have to say at my age 50s and her age. It gets tempting to want to sit on the sidelines and ahhhh relax for the rest of your life with a shite ton of money.
What about new CT 12-pan palette, i ordered mine and still waiting, what shapes are dups with other palettes? Also i swatched it in Sephora AFTER ordering and before actually receiving it, and i have controversial feeling about this palette now. Some colors are really nice, but some not what i expected, i thought there are more rosy shades, but there are more bronzy ones instead. Jena or anyone - what palette is more rosy-toned from CT or other brand even, which will compliment but will not dupe to shades of the new "Starry Eyes to Hypnotize Eyeshadow Palette"
I find I reach for my Charlotte Tilbury products less and less. I own a lot of her products but I’m realizing everything she makes is warmed toned. Her lipsticks are very warm toned, her eyeshadows are warm toned, her foundations are warm toned. I’m cool toned. I love her light wonder foundation, it would be my holy grail foundation but none of the shades are a good match for me, they are all too warm and golden. I’ve messaged her company to see if they have any plans of expanding the shade range, they don’t. So I’ve moved on to other luxury brands that make cool toned cosmetics. Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford and Hourglass are getting my money now.
Edit: Charlotte Tilbury is available in China, but remains cruelty free. :) my mistake in the video! Thanks!
It's finally here!! My secrets about one of my favorite brands, and one of your HIGHLY-REQUESTED brands, Charlotte Tilbury! :)
Ps. Thank you for all the love on my microbladed brows.. in this video they are peeling and patchy just because they are going through the healing process :) I'm excited for the end result but it does take weeks of healing and a touch up appointment to reach the end! :) xox
Jena Froese I didn’t notice any peeling of your brows at all!
Eyebrows on fleek! Harvey is so cuddly I love 💕 him
What most brands do is they sell through Hong Kong to China so they can remain cruelty free but still sell in China and not directly in China. people tend to think Hong Kong and China are the same which they aren’t.
Domenica Dee no they don’t Hong Kong is separate from China they are just closer together
Domenica Dee yes China does require animal testing while Hong Kong doesn’t
I think we should all tweet and Instagram her not to sell her company once estee Lauder takes it over she will be pushed out and all her fabulous products will go down in quality.
I really hope that’s not the case 💔💔
is estee lauder not good?
@@ianaemi5608 EL is a mixed bag when it comes to their franchises.
Iana Emi o
Estée Lauder came in and ruined Aveda years ago
I’ve never been into this brand. It’s way too expensive and I don’t love the marketing. Featuring these 20-year-old perfect women most of the time. It’s a brand I choose not to give my money to.
Same
You should try it out.
Becky B I’ve never been into it either, it obviously just isn’t for me! As long as it is free from animal cruelty!
Becky B you obviously haven’t seen her foundation campaign then. All of the models are much much older than 20
Rhianna J not the ones on Facebook.
I love this series! Maybe the next one could be hourglass?
Also, if Harvey doesn't want to be on your videos, IT'S FINE! So people should not get upset cause he is not if he does not want to be just because he is super cute (just my thoughts)
Oooo that’s a good one!! ❤️
Oh no...we NEED his cuteness...I dont care if hes sitting in mud outside after a crazy day and makes an appearance that way. Lol. Hes a handsome man!!
Estee Lauder will ruin the brand. Hoard up now.
Just be careful that makeup expires !

I agree and will likely choose to stop purchasing if Estée Lauder purchases as Ive done with Too faced
may be they want to buy it to eliminate a rival change the brand people loose interest and then it disappears. Loreal bought Charles of the Ritz my favourite makeup from years ago it then completely disappeared!
apologies it was Revlon
That’s so disappointing to hear that CT may be sold to Estée Lauder 😞
Hopefully Charlotte passes on the offer!
Thanks for spilling the beans!
Hahaha my pleasure! ❤️
Michelle K it will not be sold. She has received offers but declined them all
I‘m a former Lead Artist with her Team and brand and recall a gossip from EL saying their first offer was... (lol) 5 mil. Apparently she laughed them out of office.
Omg! That’s crazy!! I have heard since making this video that she didn’t end up accepting the 1 billion either, but that’s of course all rumored!
Harvey!!😍
Charlotte, herself, is one of the best salespeople on the planet, hands down. She talks about her products in such a unique way.
Thanks for this video, Jena!
Cruelty free is an important factor for me in choosing cosmetics.
I've read china is supposedly putting a stop to animal testing in their country.
Absolutely 👏👏
I loved this secrets video! Thank you! Here's one I can add for Charlotte Tilbury: you get much more product if you buy the specialty eyeshadow palettes at $75 (Starry Eyes) or $65 (Icons) than you get with the quads. Not just way more shades, but also actual grams of product for the money.

He really is!! Haha thanks!! 💕💕

Pat Mcgrath does the same crap with the exclusive hurry early access b4 it's gone and then its everywhere!
So true!!
I have recently purchased a few products from CT. I think I'll order a few mystery boxes before I purchase anything else. Thanks for sharing your fur baby with us and your brows are looking great! Love you girl.

I love your channel! You aren’t a sell out like the big channels. Harvey is the cutest too
I love Charlotte Tilbury so I was afraid to watch this LOL. But it actually wasn't that bad in terms of dishing. I didn't know about the Estee Lauder sale though! I really hope the quality doesn't go down:(
I work at upscale department store and I’ve also heard that CT is in talks with Estée Lauder. I’m also afraid the brand and quality will diminish as they also do once added to their portfolio.
I noticed this year she always says Exclusive on her website! But it launches at Sephora I could have got it at 20% off. Its all marketing strategy!! Now i know to wait for next year.
I’m guilty for buying everything Charlotte Tilbury and it’s getting really out of hand, I can’t seem to stop 😬 I’m seriously addicted. Every time I say to myself, that’s it no more you have everything! Then she comes out with Charlotte Darling like wtf!!
The idea of a mystery box seems tempting but I’ll most likely end up with duplicates knowing my luck xx
Tom Ford is owned by Estes Lauder and Charlotte helped develop his line many years ago. You will notice many similarities in the products if you compare.. The writing is on the wall I’m afraid.
I'm so late to your channel. I came here for your Mel Thompson tribute, beautiful by the way, and I remember her speaking so kindly of you. You aren't wrong with those holiday "limited edition" palettes and I grabbed that "charlotte darling" palette, shades from one of her holiday palettes. I use it nearly on the daily, and I have quite of a few of her quads now. I'm a huge CT fan, and although I believe she did actually sell to Estee Lauder, I'm much more hesitant to buy every single thing that comes out. So many dupes! Thank you for being wonderful and thank you for remembering our Mel!
I'm sorry, the show stopper was the baby you have in your arms!. Oh, his name is Harvy, a cute & adorable name to go with his precious baby face and fluffy head. I wish I could hug him. Good review on Charlotte Tillbury secrets too. Thanks
He’s the star of the show definitely!! 😘
CT don't refuse just counter : 5 billion and royalties. EL is part of the mega group. They can afford it.
Your eye makeup looks stunning in this video. Please do a tutorial with this look!
Hi I love Charlotte tilbury I have 5 quad palettes it’s recently that’s what I ready for daily so I have done a mega declutter and only kept my luxury makeup all my drug store makeup have been donated to my family , I only use Estée Lauder Charlotte tilbury and Chanel and a few products from YSL , I have started to love my makeup again I now love doing my makeup. But skin care is far more important than makeup , remember you need a good canvas to apply your paints !
Absolutely!! :)
Hi Jena, I bought the Starry Eyes to Hypnotise by Charlotte Tilbury. It is a pretty palette, all colors wear good on me, but...i was expecting something more than what it is, not sure how to say so eloquently. I love eyeshadows, therefore, i have more palettes than normal person should. I own several from Viseart, Too Faced, Huda Beauty, Urban Decay, and Tarte. I feel that they are just good if not better than the Charlotte Tilbury. I am gonna keep it but it didnt wow me🤷🏻♀️
If EL keep CT on, possibly as quality control or product formulator, the sell out might not effect the quality.
However, if all ties are severed I don't believe it's going to be successful.
Whenever there's a "takeover" standards drop and prices increase.
I love my Marie Antoinette eyes to Mesmereyezs cream shadows, I need to get more shades .
Hi Jena, I have a question about CT shadows. I only have the icon palette and have not used that much. I was wondering if the quad formula is any different from the icon palette. And what would be a more wearable daily quad from her line? I am sorry to hear she might sell to EL. I think it is terrible when a large company takes over and changes a good brand. Hopefully that won't happen. I think overall consumers like good quality and to me that is more important.
PS. I think Pat Mcgrath did the same thing with the limited release of her Divine Rose palette. Psychologically, I feel it produced an "I got to have it now!" desire in me. But I am not getting that.
Hopefully, she will not be sold to Estèe Lauder.
I hope so too. They will try to cut costs and sacrifice on quality.
Now that Kylie sold it might be a possibility
@@Question8619 Well... I couldn't give an f about Kylie Cosmetics though.
Awoman WithoutReligion yah well I guess you can't read dummy. Since Kylie was able to sell to Coty then Charlotte Tillbury being sold to Estee Lauder is a matter of time.
Awoman WithoutReligion does anyone?
Here’s something she won’t tell you! Her website will add things to your cart at the very end of the transaction and you’d be lucky to catch it before they charge your card! Unbelievable.
Thanks for this series! Would you do a 5 Secrets for mystery boxes? From specific brands, from retailers (like Beautylish)...
My latest subscription... and my absolute fave already !!
I live in Australia & want to know when she will be stocking in actual stores here. Does anyone know?
Nooooo - I hope she doesn’t sell to Estee Lauder, but can see why a $1 billion would be nearly impossible to pass up!! I don’t completely agree with you about the dupes. I have nearly every single CT palette and there are only a handful of dupes. I’ve also been made aware (except Dreamgasm) of any duplicate shades before buying, and passed on the new Charlotte Darling since I have them all. Love you and your channel - a breath of fresh air!!
Oh yes! I like that she doesn’t keep her dupes a secret :) thanks girl!! ❤️
I'm a boy and i don't wear make up, not sure how i ended up on this video but Charlotte Tilbury lives on the next road from mine.
Why did I think this text was so cute?.. A boy passing thru. 😳
@@geel1866 😂thanks I think🙈
@@marcalexwatts Yes, it was a thanks moment. 😉
Always good to see my boy Harvey. Great video, very informative.
Tip - super model body buy the big tub not the tub and use a sponge of your own you’ll save a lot of money. You can also wear this on your face as a gorgeous highlighter I personally think it’s nicer than her highlight stick.
I used to buy the wonderglow primer, flawless filter, highlight wand and supermodel model ( costing in excess of $200) now I just buy supermodel body and use it as a primer and face and body highlighter ($40) and get exact same look.
LuxuaryCollector777 thank you.
Your dog is so adorable! What a cutie!
Thank you girl!! 💕💕
Ugh Charlotte is one of those brands I was happy wasn't owned by a non cruelty free parent company, I pray she doesn't sell out :(
I don’t think she has! :)
Big hugs to Harvey! Thanks for the information!
Sweet Harvey is looking extra floofy & lovely! Great info, I learned a lot!!
Harvey is too cute!! Definitely subscribing to your channel now!!😻😻
Aww thanks!! :)
I hope she doesn’t sell! 😭I’ll be heartbroken! I love this brand! Great video
The new brows are very flattering...i love it that you are a Canadian...from the prairies even!! A billion dollars is very hard to pass up...would totally understand if Charlotte decided to sell
I love you dog he's so cute. An your channel is my favorite.
Aww thank you Kerry!! 💕💕
So insightful! Thank you for making videos about these secrets! Just subscribed! 💞
Thanks Kathleen!! ❤️
Is her foundation good for dry skin ? I have been looking for a new one and I don’t know what to buy!!
The Whole point of Charlotte darling palette is so that you can have her favorite shades from the stars in your eyes holiday collection in a smaller packaging permanently , and the Dreamgasm palette is a combination of the favorited shades from Bella Sofia palette, transformeyes limited edition palette, and pillow talk for the pop shade then a new color for the smoke shade. But that’s just ur opinion on the products x
I cannot stand how they market products that don’t look anything like the ads ie Pillow Talk Diamonds, thankfully I tried it on before buying, it’s a joke of a lipstick!
I really hope she doesn't sell, CT has become my guilty pleasure and my favorite brand--much to my surprise. From the decline in quality to the loss of Charlotte's vision, what future innovations would we miss out on? Say it isn't so!
They better not sell to EL!!! I use to work for MAC which is owned by EL companies - and in the training they told us to tell people that they are cruelty free, even though they are NOT!! Selling in China = Not cruelty free...Period!
And as someone who is Vegan and only uses cruelty free makeup on myself and my clients, if Char Til were to sell her company off to EL, I would no longer consider them as cruelty free or purchase their products :( :(
I really do love her brow lift pencil. I have tried several other brow pencils, trying to find a cheaper alternative, but none of them go on as well, or look as natural as hers. It’s the only product of hers I’ve tried, but it is truly impressive, but then again, the price tag is pretty impressive too! LOL! The holiday palette is pretty, and I’ve thought of getting one of her palettes, although I’m still thinking I’d like a green, and one of her quads with a green might be a better option, we’ll see!
Hi new sub here 👋 Loving your videos, really appreciate all the hard work & effort you put into them. Extra bonus is seeing Harvey, he is just perfection 💗🐶💗 xxxx
Thank you!! 💕💕
The Hot Lips 2 Refillable Lipstick case/packaging print, particularly my Amazing Amal easily fades. If you want to keep the print intact I recommend you put it inside a lipstick case. I’m quite disappointed because I expected the quality of the case to be high quality enough to reuse it with refills. :(
same :(
Mine did the same:( I ended up cleaning the case with alcohol to get the messed up print off. Now my tube is solid gold
i love her products/content, but I had to return the eye palette because the glittery shadow made my eyes itch. I'm still a buyer though.
Hi Harvey. Her concealer maybe after 7 or 8 times using finished. Surprised I was. Mature skin I have barely used and it was gone.
Just curious about the Mystery boxes, How do you know when they are for sale?
Thanks for the Video
Hi Jenna and harvey!!!! Didn’t know about Charlotte Tilbury selling her company to Estee Lauder, sadly it is a lot of money and I think it’s only a matter of time so Jenna please I just discovered the brand and I am enjoying the cream eye shadows I am currently using rose gold and I am Loving it, I just have to be extra careful when I am doing the lower eye liner for any product getting into my eyes cause I wear contact lenses and if some product manages to do it inside the eye it is really a mess cause the contact lents gets stained and the eyeshadow kind of glued to it no way to remove it, whatever and I just purchased the darling eyeshadow to try the regular eyeshadows , the flawless filter which I love and the flawless finishing powder, so I think it is time to stock up om what I am currently using🥰🌸, thanks for the tip, love the brand, it’s a shame I just was kinda getting to know it better!!!!!🦋love you regards from Barcelona🌈❤️❤️🦋🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗
So good, Jena - thank you for this! Literally texting my girlfriends rn about the takeover bid - didn't know that! We're massive Charlotte fans and have gone to a couple of personal appearances. I am firmly cruelty-free and hope Charlotte won't change (like dumb Nars). Her products are so beautiful and beautifying, and I eat up her over-the-top storytelling magic! Few duds for me as well - maybe Hollywood Lips and Brightening Youth Glow Primer? - and so many wins: Light Wonder Foundation, Airbrush Flawless Powder, Hollywood Flawless Filter, Eyes to Mesmerize, lipsticks, Color Chameleons, Rock & Kohls, Beach Sticks (underrated tho overpriced), Bronze & Glow, Hollywood Contour Wand (which I didn't even think I'd like), shadows, blushes ... Heck, I even enjoy the Latex Love glosses that everyone said smell terrible (I love it).
PS: Why don't you tell us your secret - Harvey is a puppet, isn't he?! Ugh, he's so sleepy and sweet 🥰
I love when you do these videos, keep them coming Jena - you are amazing! (And hello Harvey!) ❤️
Your dog is such a cutie !! thank you for your video!!
Thanks so much!! Glad you liked it ❤️❤️❤️
Jena Froese ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi yes I have 6 quads and Charlotte darling ,blusher ,powder, concealer, brow pencil, lipsticks 7 mascara, contour , eyeliner , lip liner in pillow talk ,
Flawless filter , collagen lip gloss , foundation I still to my favourite which is Estée Lauder perfectionist youth infusing foundation, which is perfect for my mature skin I love all her products , apart from foundation .which I haven’t even tested ,
I love CT's products and have many, many of them. However, I dislike her advertising/marketing methods. I hate all the 'darling' way of speaking to customers and how she pretends to 'care'. She is a ruthless business woman. There is nothing wrong with that, but she is just so unlikeable. Give me Lisa Eldridge any day. Her customer service is second to none and I can feel confident that her products are of the highest quality. Lisa is pure class. CT tries to be.
I totally agree. The PR side of it is very over the top. I do love her products so kudos to CT for being the brains behind the science / goals of the line. But I agree, Lisa E is pure class.
Hi Jena! thanks for another amazing and informative video. I also love Charlotte Tilbury and I enjoy every product I have especially the lipsticks. I had no idea E.L. was interested in acquiring the company...it is an offer she can not refuse, look at what happened to Brandon when he started speaking out against them. Anyway...on a lighter note, do you know if there is a dupe for the Confession lipstick? it is one of my favorites and I am running low. And also, do you know enough beef about TF? a video about it would also be fun. Thanks again Jena! and BTW your eyebrows are looking very, very good! xo
Thank you Sherly!! ❤️❤️
I tried a lipstick from the hot lips 2 collection, and it was not at all good for me. I returned it, because the formula clung to some parts on my lips and disappeared completely in other spots. I returned it, which I never do with makeup, I always keep whatever the product is and try to make it work, and I really wanted this one to work because I loved the name and the packaging, but this was literally the worst lipstick I have ever tried, so back it went. I have heard since that while some people swear by her lipsticks, other people have had experienced what I did, so I feel slightly less terrible about it.
You always gotta do what’s right for you! I’m sorry you has that experience though 😔
Hi Jena. I am new to your channel - found you while researching Charlotte Tilbury. I purchased the Pillow Talk collection and love the colors, but I had problems with both the eyeshadow & the blush/highlighter disintegrating, which caused a big loss of the product. Do you have any suggestions?
Im new to CT but I just love how nice and high end her products are. I know that shes expensive but I feel like I get worth for my money . All her eyeshadows or lipsticks feel so natural and not overly dramatic on a daily basis and thats what I love about her range especially The pillowtalk range. I dont see a reason for her to sell her company. If you love your brand and have a passion for what you’re creating then you would be mad to sell your own company. Lets hope that these are just speculations from others. This was a very helpfull video! ☺️
Thank you Demi!! ❤️❤️
Demi Enzerink. Just tossing a reason out there; humnnnn, how about ONE BILLION DOLLARS?
Donna K. Shes already rich, if you have money and are happy with what you own you normally dont want more. But ofc there are people that do . Doesnt instantly mean that everyone always wants money. If you own a horse you love and someone wants to buy it you dont randomly sell it either
Hi Jena...I am new to your channel and I love your format...you give so much useful info and that's something I appreciate...there's always something to learn and I'm getting great tips from you..so thank you.very much❤❤
I’m over her releasing same shades over and over again.. the Darling palette looks just like the palette during the Nordstrom sale .. i sure hope she doesn’t sell her company 😭😭😭😭 !! I better stock up in case the quality changes.. this isn’t a good news !!
I know!!! I’m hoping she doesn’t sell but if she does... that everything remains the same 😭🤞🏻
Yeah, I adore CT but the repetitiveness is getting OLD. First I have heard of her selling. Bizarre!
Jena Froese look what happened to Tom Ford the eyeshadows in the pot were the same ingredients as the Mac painterly pots but triple the price ,and the concealer.. i heard Tatcha sold it’s company as well and drunk e .. only two i actually use from Sephora..
Amy Robertson i bought the pillow talk pops of colors.. please it doesn’t show up at all as pigmented as it does on her IG .. same old shades over and over again.. as much as i love her products I’m over it !!
Belma Bee it is the same palette.
Love these series of videos! Thanks Jena! Harvey is sooo adorable!!
Are those eyeshadow quads really worth the money? I have my eye on pillow talk
Gina Quiros I have two different quads and I will say that I love them! They are super pricy though😕
Oooh “Harv” so cute!
Thank you! ❤️
Wow Estée Lauder is out of control
Alisa Sepe I wonder what other type of pies they have their hands in. When you become that powerful people or entities naturally get involved politics or anything that has to do with gaining more power control over people.
EL is a behemoth. Problem is we are heading into where only the giants will remain and devour or make impossible for any startups. Just like Google and FB, no new startups can gain a foot in.
@@vden02 people are selling out though, its their own fault
@@aceofhearts0 And we keep on consuming, more and more, thus keeping them alive and well and always more powerful. So it's our fault as well... :(
@D A their products are very good really ,the double wear foundation its great
Jena- I have to say you are just too cute for words-
I enjoy your knowledge and the time you put into sharing information!!!
And can I say, Harvey... OMG!!
I don’t know how you ever let go of that sweet baby!!!
I don’t subscribe to many ... but you two are my favorite!!
And I will say it again- you are the cutest ever! You could be my daughter - your so in love with the beauty industry!!!!!
How fun to shop with you....
Keep it up-
Awww this is so sweet thank you so much Cassandra! This made my day ❤️❤️❤️
What do you think about CT no longer doing the tutorials?
Love these and, especially, Harvey, your adorable dog!!
Are her products worth the high price tags?
CT was the designer for Tom Ford Beauty which is why their eye shadow quads look so similiar. Who owns Tom Ford Beauty? Estee Lauder. CT left to start her own brand and now Estee Lauder wants to purchase it; not surprised in any way.
Hello Havey love you xxx yes I love both Estée Lauder and Charlotte Tilbury ! These two brands of makeup, are my makeup collection .
Wow, I’m a huge CT fan and didn’t know about the bid from Lauder. OK, it’s not a huge surprise I guess but I would worry for the quality and creative input (I know Jo Malone was not allowed to have any once she sold out). Totally agree that you can’t go far wrong with Charlotte’s products. Although I have a huge make-up collection, it’s always Charlotte that I reach for on date night, going somewhere special or even if I have to scramble to get ready quickly in 5 minutes for work. Her products don’t require much effort to look good. xx
Everyone is selling out. I have to say at my age 50s and her age. It gets tempting to want to sit on the sidelines and ahhhh relax for the rest of your life with a shite ton of money.
It didn’t work out for Kate Spade. Money isn’t everything.
Ruby Arias Oh I hear you. Bless her.
Just subscribed! I love your honesty, so refreshing. And Harvey 😍 looking forward to binge watching your videos!!! Yay
Thank you for doing these videos! Love them!Can’t wait for the next one❤️
one time you replied to me on ticktock and it still makes me smile every day even though it was months ago I love your videos so much xx
Aww you’re so sweet!! 💕
Jena Froese thank you so much xx
What about new CT 12-pan palette, i ordered mine and still waiting, what shapes are dups with other palettes? Also i swatched it in Sephora AFTER ordering and before actually receiving it, and i have controversial feeling about this palette now. Some colors are really nice, but some not what i expected, i thought there are more rosy shades, but there are more bronzy ones instead. Jena or anyone - what palette is more rosy-toned from CT or other brand even, which will compliment but will not dupe to shades of the new "Starry Eyes to Hypnotize Eyeshadow Palette"
I find I reach for my Charlotte Tilbury products less and less. I own a lot of her products but I’m realizing everything she makes is warmed toned. Her lipsticks are very warm toned, her eyeshadows are warm toned, her foundations are warm toned. I’m cool toned. I love her light wonder foundation, it would be my holy grail foundation but none of the shades are a good match for me, they are all too warm and golden. I’ve messaged her company to see if they have any plans of expanding the shade range, they don’t. So I’ve moved on to other luxury brands that make cool toned cosmetics. Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford and Hourglass are getting my money now.
Alison Marie agree
Harvey is the cutest dog ever. A little bit sleepy 😁🥰, but cute ❤
Ohhhh cute poochie !!!!
Thank you! :)
I find that they eyeshadow quad is very difficult to use and really hard to pick up on the brush. I have exxagereyes.
Awwww Harvey is THE CUTEST THING EVER!!! Such a sweet Wittle Face!!! 💕🐶
😘😘😘
Harvey is adorable
I love Harvey and I love this series!
