Aloha Jena! For makeup compacts/palettes that are hard to open, I like to file the little nub (that keeps the compact closed) with a nail file. There are usually two little nubs, the top part of the compact and the bottom part. I like to file the one at the top because it's less noticeable that it's been filed down. Tape around the area so you don't accidentally file other parts. This has saved me from breaking my nails! ❤
Fab video, I’m so glad you’ve covered this launch, and really early too! I always enjoy your content. From your video, I like this more than I thought I was going to. From the pictures I’d seen I wasn’t sure if I was going to buy this, I think they didn’t really do it justice. I actually really like CT eyeshadow formula, from the previous holiday palettes I’ve owned (I have the silver one you show there and the Smokey eyes Are Forever ones). I love CT I always tell myself I’m not gonna buy anything else but Charlotte launches always get me lol xx
Great review thanks 🥰Still undecided… top row matts remind me of the Supernudes palette (love the texture) and glitters like Hypnotising Popshots. Wondering if they’re different enough to warrant buying, though wd be very handy in one palette for travelling.. decisions decisions 🤭🥴😂x
Great video. It’s a pass for me. I was thinking of the blush duo, but I have the blush / highlighter pallet from last year which looks the same. Thanks for the review, you have saved my wallet!😘
Thx for the honest review & info. I ordered both the eyeshadow palette & lighter blush/highlight duo-truly hoping I don’t regret it!! Glad to see a new video from you, Jena ❤😊
Thanks for the palette review and swatches! Granted these are colors we already have, it’s actually nice to have them all in one palette, especially with the multitudes of shimmers/toppers! The new palette shape is also more travel friendly than the previous versions
The look looks beautiful! Love the way you did your eyes. Im trying to be on a no buy till xmas (wish me luck), the collection looks verry verryyy nice 🤩
Thanks for the quick review! This helps a lot, especially the clear swatches. I was hoping this would be a little more of a different color story but it looks pretty similar to old ones.
Thank you for the amazing review! It helped me decide to pass. I was tempted but I think I can create similar looks with what I have. ❤❤❤ Thinking of you re RL stuff. Sending you all the good vibes. I know how stressful it is.
Hi dear Jena, thanks so much for a super good Jena review, loved to watch, it's always chrystal clear honest with very good explanation, and it all looks gorgeous on you!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩I do not know yet, i must say it's so much better to see it when swatched and applied by you, and indeed i also have these colours over and over, the shadows. The blush, thanks so much for the demonstration, so a no for me, i think👍But the eyeshadow palette is cute. Living in The Netherlands, it will come to Bijenkorf here. But already looked on the CT website in the UK, and, indeed, 75 euro's, it's more expensive for Charlotte's bigger palettes. But, she always does it, Jena, cute packaging 😍i think super cute for a present!!! SUPER review, thanks again!!!👍 Hope so much you're doing well, keep on praying for you, and sending you lots of love!!!🙏❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your review! You definitely saved me money! I already own the pillowtalk palette and was thinking about buying this, but I’m not doing that if the colours are so similar and the quality is not as good as the other palette. Very helpful!
Beautiful palette and your makeup looked so pretty in the end. I would say though, that pointy brush is probably not good in general for cheek products cause it’s too pointy. A fluffier-flatter brush ended up saving the cheeks 😊 Odd bright color choice from the brand for the holidays though. Sometimes I really really don’t understand the color choices some makeup companies make. A bright neon peach for the holidays??! So weird 🤔😁
Hi Jena. So happy to see you. All of these look beautiful on you. I have mine on the way. Shadow and lite blush. I’m so excited. I always love Charlottes holiday releases. I also have a difficult time opening her pallets. 💖💄👄
wow these colors are perfect for my skin tone, tanned olive skin, cant wait to try it, thank you for all info🥰i love the look you did as well and wow that lipstick looks amazing on you🥰
You are right, the blush application was kinda difficult :( The eyeshadow palette is gorgeous though. Will the holiday collection come to Sephora or is it site exclusive? Sometimes some products are site-exclusive
The palette looks nice and has my attention but not for $75 lol I just have to many shades like that from Pat and I just bought every holiday palette Pat launched except 2 of the quint's lol so I think I've spent enough this pay check 😅the blush and highlight palette looks nice I might pick that up at some point. If it comes to Sephora!
Your Charlotte Tilbury reviews especially holiday are my favourites each year. I’m glad when you can get CT early as your thoughts are so helpful and really well considered.
Very pretty look Jenna! If one uses a fluffy loose brush for the blushes it would likely work very well. Pigmented blushes need loose brushes not dense ones that are better for cream blushes. I think the eyeshadow palette looks very pretty. The blushes are a pass as I prefer liquids and creams.
I would say though, her first brush wasn’t just dense but also pointy, which is really not the best for any blush application. Unless you’re a pro, pointy large brushes are difficult to spread cheek product smoothly. She made it work though and in the end it looked beautiful, but that was also because of switching brushes. Odd bright blush color for the holidays though.
Thanks for this review. I was thinking about the blush but after watching this I think I’ll pass. Definitely picking up the eyeshadow palette though! 😊
Thanks for the great review. You saved me some money I was going to get the eyeshadow and the light medium blush highlight duo but after watching I only got the eyeshadow since I have both face palettes from last year so thanks for showing that comparison!
I love that the eyeshadow palette is different from her usual stuff, it is kinda tempting but i don't have a spare £60 for it as that is hella pricey for 9 shades, they are stunning tho 😅 How much product do you get the blush and highlight duo?❤
Hi! just saw these released..amazing that you were able get and share your thoughts..funny for me too hard to open packaging is something that stops me from enjoying so thank you for mentioning as part of your informative review!
I wish you showed 2 different looks and used as much shades as possible, like the pink. Did you use the highlighter? The blush looks too pigmented! I am so glad I saw this review before placing an order!!
I just can’t get into this. It doesn’t scream to me. I have to shop smart. But I’m so glad you did feverfew this. So pretty. Hope you are well. Praying for you
The top 3 shadows look like the mattes in her The Icon palette, would you say they are similar(I hope so I love that formula)? I can't wait for her other palette to release I saw leaked pictures and it's beautiful!
This is a pass for me. I actually like the way her previous holiday palettes (Instant Eyeshadow Palettes) are structured, with 4 groups of 3, where each can be their own look. I also really loved the formula in the Bejewelled Eyes To Hypnotise: Instant Eyeshadow Palette. That had the best formula and wearable shadows.
Thank goddddd u changed ur blush brush lol I was screaming to the screen NOOOOO NOT THIS BRUSH JENNA HAHAHA ! When ur using a very pigmented brush and u want a light application you do not use a round dome brush … you need to use a fluffy loose brush 🙌🏼🙌🏼 so u did well to change the brush 👍🏻🙏🏼 I wish you would’ve used the more colorful unique colors for ur eye look as charlotte attempted to include beautiful colorful shades but such a beautiful look you created ❤❤❤
This is the first CT release that I am entirely indifferent to. Nothing about this - be it colour story or application or types of products - is tempting at all. Oh well. Shall save my money for other more exciting releases. Thank you for the review nonetheless.
I think this is pretty and I was gonna buy it but when I saw the swatches idk about the pink and purple shades the rest I love but those 2 shades make me look sick if it was a lighter ballet pearly pink and a blue base purple or a mauve I wouldn't think twice . They make me look sick that bright pink . Idk it doesn't look the same on your swatches as another girl I watch yesterday hers looked bright . I'm skipping the blushes I don't like the pink blush and I don't like the highlight in the other blush.
As A Greek those colors n the eyeshadow palette don't work for me don't like them 😮SO sad I was waiting soooo long for darlingggg Charlotte to release an eyeshadow palette and then...I get.....that eww . I'm so bumped..Love from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤❤🎉my beautiful I hope you are doing great .❤❤ 🎉( there's a big sale in Greece at the moment I got the kvd dazzleshadows for 15€ each and they look like that on the lid so I made my customized #palette? I love the warm all matte hudas palette and got those to put on top and colors that actually flatter my Greek looks) 😅( ps2 those blush duos boringgg we are full of blushes Charlotte we got the hourglass palettes the Nars face palette NO MORE BLUSH , we want another eyeshadow palette from CT )
This is a pass. $75 is a whole lotta money for such a basic look palette. Yes the shimmers are pretty, and of course the packaging is fancy. But for that price point, the colors and formula need to be out of this world or it needs to be a bigger palette, like a 12 to 15 pan palette. And I don't need anymore blush.
Thanks for your review. I don't like any of the collection, so overpriced and boring to me, shimmers are not as good as Natasha Denona or Pat... The cheek palettes colours look exactly the same as the face palette she released earlier with blush and highlights.... I would have much preferred one of the larger eyeshadow palettes and new xmas shades in the kissing lipstick, oh well.
I don't know how to feel about this. It looks extremely tacky to me, especially the packaging. It doesn't look tasteful. Looking at that palette, it's the first time I look at something from Charlotte Tilbury and think that it's ugly. 😢😢 the swatches you did look really nice, however it's not exactly my color story (and I swear I use almost exclusively CT makeup and one of the reasons for that IS that I always love her color stories)
@@JenaFroese yesss of course! And thank you for the video, you posted so fast!!!! 🥰 I have to say this year her little kits are calling my name a lot though

You talked me out it Ty.. glitter toppers, sheer shades, glitter in blush and expensive

Where have you been ?!
How are you doing?! Been worried about you ❤❤❤
Aww thanks :) we are finishing up a treatment right now and hopefully going to do another transfer soon! ❤
@@JenaFroese I hope all goes well!!!

This palette reminds me up the makeup by Mario holiday palette. I didn’t buy that or the ND nude so I may pick this up.
The look looks beautiful! Love the way you did your eyes.
Im trying to be on a no buy till xmas (wish me luck), the collection looks verry verryyy nice 🤩
Your eyes look beautiful
Happy Wednesday Everyone
You as well!
I think I’m going to go for the palette. I’ve gotten back into my instant look of love palette lately and I’d love more shadows like those.
Oh Yea! It’s Jena reviewing Charlotte Tilbury! So nice to see you! You’re amazing! ❤
Thanks for the quick review! This helps a lot, especially the clear swatches. I was hoping this would be a little more of a different color story but it looks pretty similar to old ones.
So nice to see you again!
Thank you, Jena. Yes, this is very helpful. I don’t need anymore blush, so it was already a pass for me, but the eye palette is pretty, so maybe ….
Hi Jena. Thank you for doing this review. I’m passing on this collection but great review. ❤❤❤
Can you share how the two purply shades compare to the pop shot in ultra violet?
I haven't seen you pop up on my videos in a long time. So happy to see your face. Love your videos ♡
Thank you for the amazing review! It helped me decide to pass. I was tempted but I think I can create similar looks with what I have. ❤❤❤ Thinking of you re RL stuff. Sending you all the good vibes. I know how stressful it is.
I love these shades I can’t wait to receive mine. Great review Jena 💕
Jena, is the light/medium blush similar to the Natasha Denona rose cheek duo?!
the eyeshadow palette looks like ABH cosmos palette. will still get it, though :))

This palette looks so pretty. The packaging
Thank you for your review! You definitely saved me money! I already own the pillowtalk palette and was thinking about buying this, but I’m not doing that if the colours are so similar and the quality is not as good as the other palette. Very helpful!
Great Video Jena
Thank you! 😁
Beautiful eye look! I think the pallet is stunning .
Beautiful ❤ palette!! Beautiful eye look.

I feel like this launches is for us Aussie since we are in summer vibe right now. Im getting the eyeshadow palette 🤩
You are right, the blush application was kinda difficult :( The eyeshadow palette is gorgeous though. Will the holiday collection come to Sephora or is it site exclusive? Sometimes some products are site-exclusive
Hi beautiful, do you feel like the shimmery eyeshadows will get hard pan over time?

Thank you for getting this out so quickly! I was going to get both check palettes but after seeing this I’m only getting the eye shadow palette 🩵🩵
I’ve been looking forward to this release… maybe I’ll skip the blush tho.
Glad to see your post this morning! Hope you’re well! 💖
I hope you are doing well Jena! Will you be covering the three hourglass holdiay palletes?
Yes I will be in my September makeup roundup video coming this weekend :)
Your Charlotte Tilbury reviews especially holiday are my favourites each year. I’m glad when you can get CT early as your thoughts are so helpful and really well considered.

What lipstick did you put on? Its beautiful.. I thought it may have been in the description ut it wasn't.
It’s merit’s Apertif lipstick :)
@@JenaFroese It's beautiful on you. 💜

What is the product weight comparison to the Huda 9 pans?

I’ll play with it more yet! ;) thanks for the tip girl! Hahah
@@JenaFroese you’re the best ❤️ keep going ❤️❤️❤️
Good morning Jena, so nice to see you. Love that eyeshadow packaging but the color story is a pass for me.❤
Why do they do such bright shades on their blush??
Jena, what about applying powder first and then the blush? Still patchy?
Unfortunately yes :( I had set my face before using them! It’s just a bit high maintenance of a blush 😂
❤❤❤
This is the first CT release that I am entirely indifferent to. Nothing about this - be it colour story or application or types of products - is tempting at all. Oh well. Shall save my money for other more exciting releases. Thank you for the review nonetheless.
This packaging is GORGEOUS omg. But I'm not into this colorstory at all, I believe I saw a 2nd palette on trendmood, so I'm waiting for that one
Oh no…I was gonna pass but the pallete is a lot prettier on camera than what photos led it to be! 😮
The blush duo looks like Wayne Goss’s blush duo. 🤔
Outstanding First Comments
Well done!!
💕💄

You’re kidding, staining eyeshadows at Charlotte Tilbury prices? In a neutral palette?That’s not a longevity help, it’s a sign of cheap pigments.
