Hello Beauties,
There has been a lot of controversy around dupes this week on twitter regarding the new revolution renaissance lipsticks. You can see them here on the Superdrug website. Revolution is known for duping the higher end brands . I don't want to go into too much detail if you want to read more I would suggest you go and visit Angela's blog post on beautybythebunny it's really well written and caused a huge debate Cosmopolitan even wrote an article on this which I will leave a link too. Cosmopolitan . The lipsticks are basically identical to the charlotte tilbury lipsticks and that is why there has been so much controversy surrounding this from the rose gold packaging to the ridges on the bullet. You can clearly see where Revolution got their inspiration from when they decided to do this lipstick collection . I see it from both sides when you are an avid collector of make up and you see one of your favourite brands being duped of course it's annoying as beauty bloggers we spend so much money on make up and Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks are not cheap they are £24 each I've only got 6 in my collection because they are so expensive compared to the Revolution Renaissance lipsticks they are £4. Of course there not going to be Charlotte Tilbury's standard . Most people have a problem with the packaging of how similar it is to the Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks then you speak to others who like to buy dupes and cannot afford to buy high end lipsticks so the Revolution Renaissance lipsticks are at the perfect price point for them and will continue to support Revolution and buy them . I myself have bought a few things from I heart make up that are clearly dupes for the Too Faced eye shadow palettes and the blushers . You can tell that they are trying to dupe the too faced palettes but the packaging is different I can see why this has caused a bit of a debate and is a hot topic at the moment .
Awhile ago I bought the Charlotte Tilbury's Film Star Bronze & Glow Face Sculpt & Highlight it comes in the usual CT gorgeous rose gold packaging and has a nice sized mirror which makes this bronzer and highlight easy to apply on the go. Inside you get equal amounts of Bronzer which is a nice bronzer it reminds me of Benefit Hoola not too muddy and not too orange. The bronzer is really smooth and blends out really well. If you are looking for a bronzer that is pigmented right off then this is not the one for you I am very fair and I have to build it up when I am applying. The highlight in this compact is AMAZING I definitely prefer this over the bronzer it's a gorgeous champagne smooth highlight which makes applying it really easy . I haven't used this in such a long time writing this post is making me want to bring it out of my collection to use it and give you more of an in depth review for next month.
