Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Review

You guys should know by now that I am a huge fan of Charlotte Tilbury. When the brand first came onto the scene around a decade ago, I fell in love. I bought everything that I could afford from the website. For a long time, my holy grail product from the brand was the amazing Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. At the time, it was unlike anything else that I had used and I fell hard for this product.

Not to mention, it made my makeup go on amazingly and that made me love it all the more. So, because I have been using this for almost 10 years, I thought that it was finally time for me to share my thoughts. So, here is the much anticipated review on the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream.

 

Why I wanted this cream.

The main reason why I wanted this cream all of those years ago is because I loved the brand. Every other product that I had tried by Charlotte Tilbury was a homerun. So, naturally I wanted to try the product that she speaks so eloquently about. When you hear Charlotte Tilbury, herself detailing all the claims that this moisturiser is meant to do, it is a no brainer that you need to get your hands on it and give it a try.

 

How it applies to the skin.

My skin is fairly dry. Especially at this time of year when we are in the middle of changing seasons. When my skin freaks out, it needs products like this to add a boost of hydration. When I do go in with a lovely thick layer of this, I can feel my skin drinking it in. I adore that about this cream. So many other creams I have tried just seem to sit on top of the skin. This one sinks in so beautifully and doesn’t leave any kind of film on the skin.

 

How it is under makeup.

One of the main things that I love this moisturiser for is application under my base products. I find that moisturisers can sometimes be very hit and miss. They are either too thin, too thick or they will pill up the product on my skin. However, that has never been the case with the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. It glides on the skin really beautifully, sinks in within seconds and then I have a perfectly prepped base for my other products. That is what makes me use this so much.

 

The price tag.

When I first started purchasing this product, it was £60. Then I think it has increased by £5 every few years. If I was to buy the 50ml version now straight from her website it could set me back £75. Which I do understand is very expensive for a face cream, but after trying this initially, I haven’t thought about paying that price for it. It is worth every single penny in my opinion, and I adore it. Plus, when you compare the price to the likes of La Mer, it isn’t that pricey at all!

 

How long I have used it for.

Countless times here on my blog I have spoken about my love for Charlotte Tilbury. When she first started to release products, I would buy everything. Because of the steep price tag, I did wait a while before investing in this. I think because this was a pretty late purchase for me, it was around a decade ago since I began using this. It fit right into my skincare routine, and I fell in love with it instantly. I actually cannot think of another product that I have used for as long as I have this.

 

Compared to other moisturisers.

As I mentioned above, over the years I have tried many other products. Juts through curiosity and for reviews I have tried countless brands. Including Bobbi Brown, La Mer, Augustine Bader and many more. All of the creams I have enjoyed. But I must always have a full tub of the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream sitting in my draw. In my opinion, out of all other creams that I have got, no others are better under makeup. For that reason alone, I reach for this more than any other product that I have tried.

 

As always, I hope you guys enjoyed this review of the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. It is a product that I have adored for such a long time. Over the years I have tried other moisturisers, but I always seem to come back to this Magic Cream. I think that alone speaks volumes about a product when you just can’t get away from them. Because of that, I will pop a link to this item below if you would like to check it out for yourself.
