It seems our letter really did make it to the North Pole as it looks like Santa will be gifting Charlotte Tilbury’s cult Pillow Talk collection this Christmas.
To give you a gauge, we talk the Pillow Talk lipstick with the same breathless enthusiasm we save for Nars’ Orgasm blush and Fenty’s foundation. For Tilbury’s brand, this is their pièce de résistance, their calling card. It’s beloved by Amal Clooney, Gwyneth Paltrow and us. It also struggles to stay in stock.
With the 25th December just a couple of weeks away the beauty maven has expanded her Pillow Talk range to include a quad palette (£39), which includes four shimmering rose shades ranging from champagne to dusky brown, and a new two-tone blusher (£30).
