Bargain hunter reveals where Charlotte Tilbury fans can find goodies 75% cheaper – and it’s a place you’d least expect
FROM the iconic Pillow Talk shade to the viral Flawless Filter, we all love getting out mitts on some Charlotte Tilbury.
The British make-up artist’s eponymous brand is revered for its ability to make every complexion look airbrushed – and the luxury packaging doesn’t go amiss either.
But with some products costing triple digits, Charlotte Tilbury isn’t a brand that we spend our money on willy nilly.
When there’s a good sale on though, all bets are off.
According to one pro bargain hunter, there’s a shop that’s slashed the price of Charlotte Tilbury make-up by nearly 75%.
The Airbrush Brightening Flawless Finish Powder has been slashed to £10 from £38, while the Airbrush Flawless Foundation is down to £11.75 from £39.
Similarly, the viral Pillow Talk Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Pillow Talk Peach Pop is down to £9 from £30.
Content creator Your Boujee Budget Babe unearthed the bargains in Harrods.
Yes, the luxury department store that most of us think is out of our budget.
She took to TikTok in a now-viral video to showcase the cheap products and explain how fellow bargain hunters can find them.
“I found some heavily reduced Charlotte Tilbury in the Harrods sale,” she said.
“I actually think the sale stuff is quite hard to find.
“But this was directly in the Charlotte Tilbury section.
“The sale isn’t in one place in Harrods.”
All of these products are still full-price on the Harrods website, so you’ll need to head into the store to nab a beauty bargain.
Harrods is located on Brompton Road in London’s affluent Knightsbridge.
Best beauty dupes
Fabulous' Beauty Editor, Tara Ledden revealed the cheaper version of your favourite beauty products that you should have in your cupboard.
“A huge 55% of us would like to spend less on our beauty routines according to new research from E.l.f. Cosmetics, so it’s no wonder there’s millions of #dupe videos on Tiktok.
“While some dupes are easy to spot given their look-a-like packing, they’re often lacking when it comes to the contents.
“In fact, some of the best dupes look nothing like the luxury product they’re a dead-ringer for – and, trust me, they’re the ones you want.”
REAL: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, £32.50 DUPE: Natural Collection Bronzer, £3.50 which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer comes in more shades, although it doesn’t have a mirror in the compact.
REAL: Milk Make-up Hydro-Grip Primer, £35 DUPE: E.l.f. Power Grip Primer, £10. These two share a similar green hue, as well as the same long-wearing, mattifying properties – although, E.l.f’s is so popular it’s just as hard to get hold of.
REAL: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick, £28 DUPE: L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Satin Lipstick Beige A Nu, £8.99. The shades of these two lipsticks are virtually identical on the lips, although while Charlotte Tilbury’s is matte, the L’Oreal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish – which actually makes it more comfortable if you’re wearing all day.
REAL: Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation, £40 DUPE: Collection Lasting Perfection Matte Foundation, £6.99. While they don’t look alike from the outside, the formula, consistency and staying power of both foundations is pretty similar – unfortunately, the Collection only comes in 20 shades vs Estee Lauder’s 60 options.
REAL: Glossier Boy Brow, £20 DUPE: Essence Make Me Brow Gel, £2.50. There’s a whole Reddit thread dedicated to this dupe, so you know it’s got to be good. They both have a waxy consistency and added fibres to make brows look fuller. I have to say, the shade range is far better with Boy Brow, but if you’re brunette, there’s plenty of Essence shade options to try.
