Charlotte Tilbury has expanded the Pillow Talk universe with new shades of Pillow Talk in Lip Cheat Lip Liner, KISSING lipstick and Lip bath with collagen Formulas. Also launched a plumber called the Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm Plumping Lip Gloss in two variants. As a fan of the original Pillow Talk Matte Revolution and Lip Cheat, I purchased all new to try and review.
Lip Cheat and lipstick
For her lip liner and lipstick this one now as a shade called Pillow Talk Fair which is a cool toned baby pink. I really love it Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Fair which pulls a little deeper but the KISSING lipstick it’s too pale and against my natural lip tone to work for me. It has a beautiful creamy formula that performs just as well as her other lipsticks. The shade is too light for me too. For those who find her original Pillow Talk hot, I think the new Pillow Talk Fair will be much better for you.
I have swatched all the Pillow Talk shades I have in Fair, Original and Medium. I added Icon Baby to the mix by popular demand. I really like this shade ( review here ) but many of you are not a fan of the glitter and shimmer texture. It doesn’t bother me, but some were hoping Pillow Talk Fair would be the same as Icon Baby without the shimmer. Looking at them side by side, I think they are very different.
I still like the original Pillow Talk the best for her lipsticks.

Plumpgasm Plumping Lip Gloss
Charlotte Tilbury’s new Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm Plumping Lip Gloss it will be hit or miss depending on your pain tolerance for the tingling. I would rate it an 8 out of 10 with a very strong sting that doesn’t go away. Some thickeners tingle for a few minutes, but then the tingling goes away. These are very strong on me and as much as I’ve tried to love them, I just can’t. The tingling is as strong as the Fenty Heat and Maybelline Lifter Plumping Glosses on me and I can’t handle it.
The colors are very nice though. I found it very interesting on my hand swatches (above) which pull off very warm and almost orange looking. In the tube and on my lips they look more neutral.
I wish they were in a vinyl/lacquer lip gloss formula instead of plumpers, but I know plumpers are popular so I see them being very on trend.
Lip bath with collagen
I’ve saved the best for last because I think I like it Lip bath with collagen more than anyone else. These give the illusion of fuller lips but aren’t really a glossy gloss, it’s high shine with a cushiony feel that makes them look super rich and glossy.
Rosy Glow is actually my favorite that I no longer have because I’ve used it so many times (so I’m re-ordering as a last Sephora haul). I really love the new Pillow Talk shades along with the Original.
Pillow Talk Fair is a soft milky pink but I can wear it without looking like I have white lips. Pillow Talk Original is a nude pink. Pillow Talk Medium is a deeper nude rose. Pillow Talk Deep is quite sheer, but with some layering it gives a really beautiful brown look.
I added swatches next to Refresh Rose, Peachy Plump and Walk of No Shame.
Overall I think these are beautiful additions to the Pillow Talk line. KISSING Lipstick didn’t work for me shade wise and Plumping Lip Glosses are a no go as they are too painful for me.
The others are solid A+ material.
