Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette Of Pops in the shade Pillow Talk.
This palette came as a gift with purchase when you spend a lot of money on her website during the Black Friday sales, so I actually didn’t pay for it which is amazing.
My friend LP from thenewburygirl told me this palette didn’t get great reviews so, since I trust her, I was ready to not like it but it turns out that if you use it right, it’s actually good.
You can buy it from Sephora for 53$.
Colour
If you have used a Charlotte Tilbury palette I’d know they come with four shades with a specific use (according to Charlotte makeup style), it goes without saying you can use the palette however you like, but this is a bit different because all the shades are Pop shades, so they are very glittery and are meant to be used as topcoats.
- Prime 1 – (soft metallic gold) Create a smooth base for your eye look.
- Enhance 2 – (metallic pink) Build up the definition in the crease.
- Pop 4 – (metallic rose gold) Finish your dazzling look with the shimmer.
- Smoke 3 – (metallic bronze) Add drama in the outer corner.
PACKAGING
The packaging is absolutely stunning and luxurious I totally love it.
It comes in a cardboard box and the details on the palette are beautiful. For some reason, I was expecting a magnetic closure which it doesn’t have but other than that, it’s gorgeous.
PIGMENTATION & FORMULA
The formula is quite soft and smooth especially when you swatch it, it has medium-high pigmentation. The colours are intense and very glittery.
They can be a bit gritty especially Pop 4 (the third shade), it’s very textured so it doesn’t look great alone but it’s beautiful on top of another shade. Honestly, they all look better on top of other shade to add a glittery shift.
They aren’t patchy and the colour selection is beautiful, very classy and seriously perfect for the holidays.
APPLICATION
I prefer to use my finger for the glitter, so that’s how I apply them.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
With a primer, they last about 10 hours before creasing.

GRADE: B+
This palette is really pretty. I can see why people had troubles with the formula as it doesn’t look great from the swatches. But this is a palette of Pops, so like every Pop shade from Charlotte Tilbury they are meant to use on top of other eyeshadows. So if you are like me and love to add glitter to every look, I’d say go for it because I’ve been using it A LOT but since it’s so expensive it’s definitely not necessary. I do love it though and the lasting power is amazing. I probably wouldn’t have bought it if it wasn’t free but I’m glad I have it in my collection.

I was rooting for this one, especially after seeing it on you so I’m glad it’s one of your better ranking picks.
I love it so much!
This is such a gorgeous palette! I love the colors! So pretty!!!
Agree x
Mi piacciono sia il colore più chiaro che quello più scuro. Devo andare a fare qualche swatch appena finisce tutto questo casino…
Se ti capita fallo, finora solo un prodotto suo mi ha delusa e per fortuna era un sample
These colors are perfect for the holiday season!!!
So perfect!
Bring me all the CT goodness! I think she brings out these pop palettes every Christmas season, and I can totally see how this would be a love-it-or-hate-it kinda product. I really don’t use a lot of glitter, even this time of year, so this would be a total waste for me personally. But the glittery pop in her original Dolce Vita Palette goes down in history for me as one of the prettiest, softest, most adult glitters out there! I’ve gone back to that one year after year! In this palette I’m particularly drawn to the darkest glitter for some reason – how stunning!
I’ve never tried Dolce Vita but it’s next on my list, even if it changed name 😂 I’m not too sure because all shades are a bit too dark and I prefer lighter ones for everyday use. I think you will the og pillow talk palette. They pop shade there is so beautiful
Did they change the name of the Dolce Vita Palette?? I had not heard that. I wore it on Christmas Day, which has become a bit of a tradition for me. I put the lightest shade all over my eyes, then the darker brown in the crease, and along the lower lash line. Then popped that beautiful gold glitter over top – it was so glam especially for me!
I’ve definitely used the pop shade in the Pillow Talk Palette, and I agree it’s very beautiful too!
Yeah now it’s called Bella Sofia!
Oh my gosh, had no idea! I wonder why they changed it? Dolce Vita was so iconic (at least to me).
Agree! I think Sophia Tilbury said once that it was hers and her sister’s (Bella) favourite palette so Charlotte renamed it for them 😘
Oh, that’s sweet. (But I still like ‘Dolce Vita’ though!)
I was so curious to read your full review on this! And I chuckled seeing my name pop up! 😂 But I think that your review is totally fair and I agree that this looks like great topper palette. Most off the complaints probably come from users trying to apply these shades like traditional shadows.
But also…. I’m very curious if her celestial or “pop” formula is going to change now! Because the formula in the Fire quad is different!
It is but I hope she doesn’t change it. FR looks more wet while this is more glittery and I like this better!
I actually have the perfect cream eyeshadow to use under the “crappy shade” but it was limited edition from dior last Christmas so I don’t want to mention it since no one can’t get it but omg the combo is 😍😍😍
