    1. That ND tan palette looks gorgeous on your eyes! Makes me reconsider it!

      Lisa Eldridge never fails – her formulas are immaculate. I am awaiting my Monroe package as we speak!

    2. I was excited when I read the description and then when I saw swatches, my excitement died a bit – it looks nice, but otherwise, nothing amazinlgy new/nothing I desperately need. Maybe if Lisa relases more pink/peachy bases like the Channel's Camelia…

      How long did the highlighter last and how did it do with texture? (I struggle quite a lot with the latter one). It seems very subtle, almost invisible (even the darker shade), or maybe its just the video?

    3. Received mine yesterday and fell in love instantly. I was surprised how non-sticky it is, as it looks like a balm, but it's perfection—just glass skin.🥰🥰🥰

    4. I met Lisa last week in NY at the pop up (highly recommend if you are in the area). She is amazing, warm, and smart. The highlighter is gorgeous. I'm 65, have both of her liquid highlighters and this is a very different product. The lipsticks are fabulous if you like reds.

    5. Hello Charlotte! Amazing review!❤
      Do you think Lisa's highlighters are similar to the Victoria Beckham highlighter stick? I felt both give that wet look. I was wondering how they compare.

    6. Thanks for reviewing these beautiful Charlotte! They're gorgeous and I'll be picking up both! I love the combination of these glow balms and the Dior blush! Stunning! I too passed on the lipsticks as I don't wear red. Looking forward to your next video! 😍❤

    7. The lipsticks are incredible! I brought the Amagansett shade, it’s very 1950s cool toned red but can be sheered out, lasts longer than the other Rouge Experience lipstick I own (in shade Lisa)

    8. Welp….I'm now waiting on my collection! Only one red lipstick the bright Strawberry Blonde, and liner, the highlighter, and a couple eye pencils. Do I need another highlighter NO, but…I can not resist it looks beautiful on you🎉 I fell behind a little, as I had been quite ill. But I'm recovering lol, I can tell by my excitement 🎉

    9. FINALLY! The video I was waiting for! I absolutey LOOOOOOOOVe the new elevated glow highlighters! And my new amazing lipstick for warm skin: Norma Jeane ! WOW! the best lipstick! I don't know how a cream or liquid highlighter would be comparable to a powder one. It is a complete other product to me. I love using the darker on my bronzer and the ligh one on my eyes , lips, upper cheeks on blush ( If I have blush on me).

    10. You’re not alone in having some random sensory icks about makeup – I can’t use liquid eyeshadow because of the feel and don’t get me started on plumping lipglosses…

    11. So excited for this video, I'm still waiting for my order. It says online these are permanent was well as Amagansett and Strawberry Blonde the only limited edition is Norma Jeane.

    12. Received mine today and love it! I actually dabbed mine on the eyelids and it made an excellent lightweight glowy lid. Then after a few moments I went atop with some eye shadows and wow! It created a non-tacky but excellent 'key' for grabbing the shades really well. I applied my xmas Chanel (9 pan) couple of colours blended and it's stayed on all day, no creasing, giving a slight sheen/satin effect that shines through. My skin doesn't like the liquid silks unfortunately, so I'm really happy to report this balm is gentle, and lovely. Thank you @LisaEldridge, thanks for the demo @CharlotteHoldcroft xx

    13. Yay had been waiting for your review on these highlighters, thanks so much for this and also testing them with powders 🙂 Out of the whole collection it was what I am most interesting. I love the lighter butterfly light shade, once it comes to Space NK, I will be getting it in a heartbeat. I find liquid highlights/blushes/bronzers hard to use so I never used her old highlighter. The balm texture seems really nice and fab for dry skin. Although I do wonder why she never releases any powder products, like powder cheek products or setting powders, just liquid and balm formulas so far.

    14. After powder blush it hardly should be sticky anymore, no?😉 Ingredients aside, the finish is an ordinary balm formula one, certainly not dry-touch, or whatever miracle i thought it would be.

    15. I have been patiently waiting for a review on these!!! I have had the Victoria Beckham highlight in my cart for over a week and then these dropped and I will be getting butterfly light, I love the look of a balm but not so much the sticky skin it leaves behind. So if these look like you reviewed without stickiness I am in and will be placing my order!

    16. Thank you Charlotte! I really want to get both of these, but budget is in control, well kind of? but I think that the price has been set very sensibly and it makes them affordable and accessible for many. I have never been disappointed with anything from miss Eldridge. I was thinking that I would go with the butterfly light and maybe in another month or so, get the highkeyhigh key light. But seeing them both on you, I don't know! I actually preferred, slightly, the high key light on you today. They were both nice on you. I am not as tanned as yourself, but I am a medium light neutral leaning warm undertone. So what do you think? Gorgeous review Charlotte, the problem is, that there is so much lovely lovely makeup about at the moment to choose from, it's proving difficult to make decisions on what to prioritise. I'm loving the Marc Jacobs collection and getting excited for that, maybe it's just as well its sold out virtually.

    17. I ordered the balm in butterfly light, the liquid silk eyeshadow in Thalia, as well as the kitten lash mascara in Burnt umber . I have never purchased from Lisa Eldridge before. I have wanted to for years, but I honestly couldn’t narrow down my top pics because I simply wanted to try everything from her line. However this Marilyn Monroe collection really pushed me to finally place a long overdue order. I can’t wait to try the products as soon as they arrive at my doorstep. Thank you for the great review!

    18. I think it's good that you don't feel the need to purchase everything from the line if you won't wear it. Esp since all of this is prob limited edition.

    19. I like them both, favoring butterfly. So very pretty. So glad it's not sticky and also they work with powder and other products. A great product from Lisa.
      Hope you get a peachy color. Like you mentioned,, Lisa probably wants to see how they are welcomed.❤

    20. These look beautiful on you. I’m not much for highlighters but I’m intrigued. I’m also not usually a red lipstick girl either but that Norma Jean shade just grabbed me by the lapels and insisted I bring her home.

    21. I would like to know how the pink shade of lipstick (Amaganset) compares to Wonderwheel and Love of My Life – I have both of those shades and they look very similar to to the pink shade of the Marilyn collection.

    22. I purchased the Butterfly Light and the Amagansett shade of the lipstick. I love the Butterfly Light more than I thought I would. I’m not a highlighter girl per se but my gut told me that I might like Butterly Light to give me a “natural” glow. I haven’t worn the lipstick yet but just gasped in delight when I swatched of the Amagansett shade.

    23. I truly like them both. I think the brighter shade just sitting with a light hand above the blush would be gorgeous while the darker shade acts almost like a shiny bronzer. Both are wonderful products!
