Charlotte Tilbury sale includes £17 lip product that gives a 'lip filler' look

While we can't always promise sunny skies for the Bank Holiday, one thing we can count on is our favourite makeup and skincare brands offering discounts. Never ones to disappoint, Charlotte Tilbury is spoiling beauty enthusiasts with a site-wide sale, allowing shoppers to enjoy 20% off their high-quality, Hollywood-adored products.
The sale runs from Wednesday, May 21, to Monday, May 26, with anyone entering the code MAGICMAY receiving 20% off any full-priced items. With no minimum spending necessary, this is an ideal chance to grab celebrity-endorsed cult favourites.
However, when there's a discount on so many products, knowing which ones are worth buying can be challenging. To simplify things, we've highlighted four standout products adored by beauty editors and sported by A-listers, from Zendaya to Sarah Jessica Parker.
Each product is included in the limited-time discount. However, it's worth noting that bundles, already discounted items, and a few other exclusions don't qualify, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Elsewhere, Amazon is hosting its inaugural Everyday Essentials Week, providing seven days of deals on everyday essential items until 23.59 p.m. on Tuesday, May 27.

For those seeking a flawless base, plumper lips, or radiant complexion, Charlotte Tilbury is a go-to brand among beauty enthusiasts looking to replenish their makeup and skincare supplies. Here are four top-rated, celebrity-approved picks to consider.
1. Super Nudes Lip Cheat Contour Duo – was £22, now £17.60
The newest member of the iconic Lip Cheat family, the Super Nudes Lip Cheat Contour Duo, has already made a splash on the red carpet. This double-ended lip pencil comes in four shades, from fair to deep, and features two expertly paired tones: a deeper shade for sculpting and a lighter one for filling, resulting in lips that appear lifted and fuller.
At the recent Met Gala, White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood wore the medium shade, as revealed by her makeup artist Shayna Goldberg. Meanwhile, Zendaya chose the Tan shade to complement her glamorous look, pairing it with the glossy Big Lips Plumpgasm.
This ingenious double-ended pencil has been hailed as a great alternative to lip fillers, with our colleague Zoe Cripps saying it made her look like she'd 'had filler'. She explained: "On one end, you've got Sculpt - a powdery, deeper-toned shade designed to fake natural-looking shadows and add subtle contour. Flip it over, and there's Fill – a creamier, lighter tone that glides on like a dream to blend seamlessly with the sculpted edges.
"Together, they deliver the easiest, most flattering lip contour of your life. Just look at my before and after– my boyfriend asked me if I'd had lip filler."
Impressively, it only launched last month, providing a fabulous chance to save cash on one of the brand's most recent products; use the promo code to knock £4.40 off the recommended retail price.
2. Beautiful Skin Foundation – was £39, now £31.20
A radiant-boosting favourite among makeup artists, the Beautiful Skin Foundation contains hydrating hyaluronic acid and brightening rose complex and offers a smooth, buildable texture for natural-looking coverage that lasts up to 16 hours.
At the previous year's Met Gala, a bevvy of A-listers, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Demi Moore, Emily Ratajkowski, Lana Del Rey, Jodie Turner and Rita Ora, were spotted wearing this moisture-rich foundation. However, its appeal isn't limited to the glitterati walking the red carpet.
The medium-coverage product, available in 30 shades, purports to triple radiance while doubling skin's smoothness and plumpness—reasons why it has become a go-to for our beauty experts.
Laura Mulley from OK commended: "I've tested hundreds of foundations in my time, but this is one that I would 100% buy again. Its name is totally accurate; it really does give 'beautiful skin' – even, perfected and radiant in a very natural looking way and, unlike a lot of foundations, it stays looking like this all day long; no creasing or settling into pores."
Zoe, the head of shopping, is also enthused, remarking: "I'm hooked on this. It applies like a tinted moisturiser but instantly gives coverage like a high-coverage base. It also glides over my skin, leaving a velvety feel and a radiant glow. I didn't need anything else besides that, and definitely no powder. If I were going out, I'd probably set my under-eye and forehead with a bit of translucent powder, but for a regular day, I'm happy with a full-throttle glow."
3. Charlotte's Magic Cream – was £79, now £63.20
Known as the "magic dew of youth" and "luminosity in a jar," Charlotte's Magic Cream has become an essential tool backstage for models and celebrities at fashion shows and award ceremonies alike. Originally mixed by Charlotte herself during these events, the Magic Cream's iconic status can be attributed to its remarkable ability to rejuvenate tired-looking, thirsty skin on the fly.
Loaded with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, rosehip oil, and vitamins C and E, it amplifies the skin's natural sheen and provides an impeccable foundation for makeup application. Sienna Miller has even praised the product on social media, describing it as a "big drink for the skin."
She enthused: "Charlotte's magic cream is a miracle product. I actually remember the days before Charlotte had her brand and she would mix up her magic cream for shoots and stick it on my face, so when this became available to buy, I think a lot of us were very, very excited. It's an amazing product, it feels so good, it smells so good - it's a big drink to the skin and the best prep beneath makeup."
Tiffany Lo, beauty writer from The Express, is a fan of the cream's 'rich, thick texture', noting that it gives her a 'dewy glow' with just a light application and leaves no 'sticky' residue. However, she pointed out: "It is a nourishing day cream to use, and I prefer using this on cold weather days than in summer because it gives me tiny breakouts on my combination skin when the weather is hot and humid."
4. Beautiful Skin Sun-Kissed Glow Bronzer – was £45, now £36
The creamy bronzer boasts finely milled pearls to illuminate skin and silky polymers for a soft-focus effect on both face and body. It's also packed with hyaluronic acid and sunshine provitamin D3, promising to double skin hydration within an hour.
The sweat-proof and humidity-proof product, which sold one every 30 seconds on its launch day, is available in four shades from fair to deep and boasts a 16-hour staying power. It has garnered hundreds of five-star reviews from shoppers who describe it as 'buttery and buildable'. However, some customers still show a preference for powder products, with the Airbrush Bronzer being a recommended alternative.
Beauty writer Bethan Shufflebotham said: " This bronzer I absolutely love. It's the first-ever cream bronzer from the brand that works to blur, hydrate and bronze all in one. It gives you an instant sun-kissed skin effect, which makes it a great product for the summer months; plus, it has a mirror in the compact, which makes it ideal for holidays or on the go. My favourite tip is to apply it to your eyes as a shadow for an effortlessly cohesive look."

New contender to play James Bond is 31-year-old British rising star

An unexpected name has entered the race to become the next James Bond. Since Daniel Craig wrapped up as 007 in 2021 with No Time to Die, there has been wild speculation for three years, with many fans convinced they know which actor is going to take up the spy's licence to kill. This speculation has only intensified following a historic deal in which creative control of the franchise was handed to Amazon after Amazon Studios purchased MGM+ for $8.45billion (£6.7billion). Aaron Pierre, the 31-year-old British actor whose been gaining a huge following in recent months, is now emerging as a frontrunner for the iconic role, with industry insiders and bookmakers taking serious notice. Best known for his performances in The Underground Railroad, Rebel Ridge, and Disney's upcoming Mufasa: The Lion King, the actor's buzz is leading some to wonder if he's 007 material. The revelation comes from a leak by entertainment insider Daniel Ritchman, according to GBNews, sparking a wave of interest from Bond fans. For years, the Bond rumour mill has revolved around familiar names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Henry Cavill, and Jack Lowden. But a sharp shift in betting odds suggests the tide is turning. Pierre's odds have narrowed significantly, positioning him alongside the top-tier contenders. Currently, Theo James leads the pack with odds of 5/2 (a 28.6% implied chance), followed by Cavill at 3/1 and Lowden at 4/1. Taylor-Johnson, once a hot favourite, has slipped back to 5/1, even thoguh some think he may have already accepted the role, as he's insisted he 'can't talk about' his next film project. The 35-year-old actor has long been heavily rumoured to be the next James Bond, from as far back as 2022 – although reports of his official casting were promptly rubbished in March 2024. He gave a very coy response when asked about what he'll be doing after working on 28 Years Later and its sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, back-to-back. More Trending Questioned by Deadline at the horror movie's premiere on Wednesday night he said: 'I can't talk about it.' Meanwhile, more far-fetched candidates such as Stephen Graham and Harry Styles remain on the books at longshot odds of 66/1. The buzz suggests that producers may be looking toward a younger actor with franchise longevity. At 31, Pierre strikes that balance. Got a story?

Lucille Ball's daughter reveals shock reason I Love Lucy star stayed with husband Desi Arnaz despite affairs

Lucie Arnaz — the daughter of Hollywood icons Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz — has addressed her late father's alleged infidelities during his 20-year marriage to Ball. The actress, 73, sat down with CBS Sunday Morning over the past weekend to candidly open up about the topic in a rare interview. It comes just weeks after a new biography titled Desi Arnaz: The Man Who Invented Television written by Todd S. Purdum was published, which contains conversations with both Lucie and her brother Desi Arnaz Jr. However, as she talked to the publication, Lucie admitted that she didn't see her dad's reported infidelities as 'affairs,' and added that the Cuban bandleader never knew the names of the women he had been with. 'People say he had affairs. He never had an affair,' she stated. 'He didn't even know these dames' names, you know? They were hookers.' Interviewer Mo Rocca then questioned, 'They were transactional?' which prompted Lucie to reply, 'Yeah. He loved my mother, he loved his family.' She continued, 'It was a very unique, weird problem to have, and I think that's the reason she stayed with him so long, is that she understood it.' But the actress admitted to Rocca, 'I don't think I could do what she did. 'But somehow, at the time, with what they had, with what they needed from each other, they stuck it out as long as they could.' Lucille and Desi first crossed paths in 1940 while on set of the movie Too Many Girls and eloped that same year at the Byram River Beagle Club in Connecticut. The pair were known for playing on-screen couple Lucy and Ricky Ricardo in the beloved CBS sitcom I Love Lucy, which aired from 1951–1957. The series was a breakthrough in terms of syndicated television, and had also been the most watched show in the US for four of its six seasons. I Love Lucy had also starred Vivian Vance and William Frawley, and the series garnered a total of five Emmy wins. However, Ball and Arnaz's marriage was in stark contrast to the one portrayed on television for audiences around the country. The actress first filed for divorce from Desi in 1944 due to his reported affairs and alcohol problems. The two were able to reconcile and the split was called off. Following a few miscarriages, Lucille welcomed her first child Lucie in 1951, shortly before the first episode of the hit series aired. A couple years later, Desi Arnaz Jr. was born, and his birth was also written into an episode of the show. But Ball and Arnaz's tumultuous marriage came to an end in 1960 when the mother-of-two filed for divorce from Desi. The divorce was finalized only two months later. Lucie previously talked about her parents' divorce during a past interview with Closer Weekly. 'The best thing that ever happened to them was getting divorced,' she said, adding that they had a 'great' and 'successful' divorce. The star explained, 'It was fantastic. If their parents can't get along and that happens, then kids should be so lucky to have a divorce like my mom and my dad did, because they were kind, they never said bad words about each other in front of their children and they stayed friends 'til the day they died. 'It was a fantastic romance that even got more passionate and more friendly after they were not married to each other anymore, so there.' Lucie later expressed, 'They just knew that it wasn't working for them to stay married and that was sad.' 'But once they decided to stop, everything got much easier for everybody. We spent all of our weekends and summers with my dad, and my mother the rest of the time.' She added, 'But they were very pleasant with each other about visitation and who got to go with who and when. There was never a moment of animosity after that at all.' However, when the initial separation happened, Lucie told the Television Academy back in 2011 that it was 'hard.' The actress — who was nine years old when her famous parents divorced — said, 'Part of me probably totally understood why, because we had heard the arguments and that wasn't fun either. 'But it was hard. It was very hard. And I didn't want my dad out of the house. He was out of the house enough. I didn't want him to go any further away.' In the recently released biography about Desi Arnaz by Todd S. Purdum, Desi Arnaz Jr. also talked about learning of their split as a child. 'And we'll always remember when they sat us down and said, "Look, you know, things aren't working." I mean, I remember word for word,' he said. Lucille went on to marry Gary Morton in 1961, and the pair stayed together until her passing at the age of 77 in 1989. 'And we'll always remember when they sat us down and said, "Look, you know, things aren't working." I mean, I remember word for word,' he said; Lucille seen with her children in 1984 in NYC 'I mean, that was a knife in the heart,' Lucie said of her initial feelings towards her mom's remarriage while talking to the Television Academy. 'You're kidding right? It's only been a year. Not even. So it was a rough period for all of us.' However over time, Lucie became close to her stepfather and reflected on Ball's marriage to Gary. 'He made her laugh and didn't embarrass her in any way. He didn't drink too much. He didn't smile and giggle with the ladies. I don't know if they had a passionate marriage. I hope so.' Her father Desi tied the knot once again, marrying Edith Hirsch in 1963. The two remained together until Edith's death in 1985 after a battle with cancer. Desi passed away the following year. Lucie said of her late stepmother: 'She was a joy, an absolute joy. Great laugh. She taught me how to drive, she went bowling with us, she took us to the fair.' 'She knew exactly how to handle my dad,' the actress added. 'She was amazing...I really miss her.' And despite her parents' divorce in 1960, she stated that Lucille and Desi remained close friends 'until the bitter end.'

It made my fan look pathetic. I'll find the name for you because you all need it." Shaughna isn't alone in her praise - the unit has garnered hundreds of positive reviews from shoppers who claim it's a total game-changer during muggy summer nights.
