Only a few weeks ago I reviewed the brand new Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation and today I'm back with another new launch from the ultimate Queen of beauty, Charlotte Tilbury. I recently did a blog post about the best face cleansers which I hope was useful to you, as I was writing that post I decided it was time to bring back some further individual product reviews so you guys can get the lowdown on the best holy grail beauty products or shiny new launches.
First up - I was recently lucky enough to receive Charlotte Tilbury’s brand new Collagen Superfusion Facial Oil and wow, this one deserves a review all of its own. I actually really enjoying using Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Serum {on sale!} so was so excited about this new launch.
As many of you will know, I adore Charlotte Tilbury products. Her facial creams are as wonderful as her make up range and in fact the majority of Charlotte Tilbury launches blow me away. Every single time a new Tilbury product is released it always feels so special, having met the team I know how much love and passion goes into this brand and the Collagen Superfusion is no exception. A Charlotte Tilbury new launch is a very exciting time indeed! Open up this blog post for a full review and first impressions of the brand new Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Superfusion Face Oil.

Just one look at the dreamy, whimsical advertising of the brand new Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Superfusion Face Oil makes me fall in love. I have been lucky enough to meet Charlotte a few times over the years at intimate events and I love her just as much as her products. She is a true professional who is utterly obsessed with her trade and skincare. The Tilbury team work with industry leading development laboratories to ensure they are always on point when it comes to innovation and that is obvious when using this latest product. I find it so easy to trust every Tilbury product, knowing just how much goes into them.
The brand new Collagen Superfusion Face Oil is Charlotte Tilbury’s first facial oil and claims to make skin look 311% more radiant smooth and even. While I’m not entirely sure how that very specific percentage was arrived at, I can certainly testify to the fact that having used it for a week now my skin certainly feels smooth and glowing. I personally like to trial products for at least a month to get a proper insight into how they are, but so far, so good.
As with all skin and haircare products, the list of ingredients is endless and while I don’t profess to know what they all do, there are so many oils in this one that it couldn’t possibly fail to make skin feel soft and supple. From avocado oil to sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil and raspberry seed oil, Eucalyptus, magnolia and lavender oil to name just a few, this oil has it all. It also contains collagen, something which has grown in popularity in recent years and is a natural protein which gives our skin a plump look and prevents sagging. The oil also includes ingredients to calm skin and reduce redness so is there anything this oil doesn’t have? It really is a super oil, a blend of all things calming and softening. It's interesting how natural this oil is too, essentially blending potent plant extracts with collagen - the goal is to make skin glowy, plumper and healthier.
Now for all those of you with anything other than dry skin I can hear you thinking wow, that is a lot of oil and yes it is indeed. My skin is normal/combination and in the past I would have been reluctant to use oils in case they made my skin greasy. However, like many facial oils and serums this one is non-comedogenic which in plain English means that it is formulated in a way that it should not cause pore blockage and skin breakouts and therefore is suitable for all skin types and it is true, or certainly is for my skin, for this oil is weightless and does not at all feel cloggy. When I used to get hormonal break outs in my teens, I was always told to use oils, my skin was creating excess oil because it was crying out for some hydration and oils. I now dose my skin in oils morning and night and I've never looked back.
Scent wise this oil has a very light and fresh spa type of smell to it yet it is wonderfully rich and luxe. Only a few drops are needed to massage in to your skin and make it feel totally hydrated which means that it will last a long while, making the price of around £60 for 30ml sweeter because this isn't a product you will go through quickly. If you don't want to take the leap and spend the entire £60, you can always spend £25 and get the travel sized Superfusion, trial it and see what it does for your skin.
I have used this oil morning and evening for a whole week, I have used it under make up and before bed. I usually switch up which products I use, morning and night but I wanted to give this a fair trial and it truly is a product that can fit into your skincare routine by day and night. By day, it's like a radiant skin filter, glowy sunshine in a bottle - if you could bottle up that sparkle on the water abroad, it hydrates, brightens and almost gives you a glow all day long under make up. By night, it's calming, rich, makes me feel as if i'm in the spa and my skin is bathing / soaking up the goodness. Despite the vast amount of oils in this product it sinks in really well and truly hits the skin from the inside and my make up does not slip as a result of it and nor does my skin look shiny. My skin drinks this right up, clearly showing that my skin needs all that plant / collagen goodness. Equally on my make up free skin at bed time there is no residue from the oil left on my pillow cases... I do swear by a silk pillowcase though, they're so much better for your skin!
As with all Tilbury products it has a lovely classic look to it in its heavy glass bottle and will look stunning on any dressing table. Charlotte Tilbury products really smash out the style, design and functionality - which is rare because usually it's style or substance - this product has both. I hope you have enjoyed this review and I hope you find this product as glorious as I do. I feel it will be gorgeous on those glorious Summer days where the skin is craving hydration and you want to go bare faced but show off a natural, dewy glow.

Lots of love, Em x
