Charlotte Tilbury cult 'magic' cream slashed to 'unheard of' €42 in huge sale
The iconic Charlotte's Magic Cream, hailed by fans as "the best moisturiser ever", is now half price as part of the brand's major summer sale. Normally, two 50ml refill jars would cost a hefty €175 - but right now, shoppers can pick up two of these refill tubs for just €85, making each pot just €42.50 - which is practically unheard of for Charlotte Tilbury.
Described by Charlotte herself as "magic skin", the cream is a "skin revival moisturiser" that "retexturises, smooths, firms, plumps and primes the look of skin in one step". Infused with a "Magic Matrix" of ingredients - including hyaluronic acid, vitamins C & E, and a plump-effect peptide complex - it's clinically proven to improve skin's texture and hydration.
Originally created backstage at fashion shows to transform tired, dull complexions, this cream became so popular with models and makeup artists that it quickly gained cult status. Tilbury says the "instant miracle turnaround cream" became a beauty industry secret before going viral - and has remained a global favourite ever since.
With a 4.6-star rating from nearly 6,000 reviews, fans call it a skincare essential. One shopper said: "This is my 6th pot... I absolutely love it". Another wrote: "Always go back to this! My favourite moisturiser ever!" One review summed it up saying: "The best moisturiser I have ever used and I have used many."
Many reviewers swear by this cream's results. One happy customer wrote, "It leaves the skin feeling plump and healthy," while another said, "My face feels the difference and my mirror shows me how." Another fan added: "This cream is fantastic, it melts in to the skin [and] doesn't leave your face greasy like some moisturisers".
Even those with tricky skin types are singing its praises. One reviewer said: "I have THE most fickle, hyper-sensitive skin... but blow me down if it isn't the lightest, most nourishingly, moisturising cream I've used in a looong time!"

Several shoppers love how the cream performs under makeup. One said: "It works really well in keeping my makeup looking fresh all day long." Another added: "Amazing product! Glides on the skin making it a must-have preparation for the perfect makeup look."
Some say they saw visible changes quickly. One wrote: "That cream is really magical - all my skin problems disappeared in a week. Since then my skin is beautiful!" Another echoed this, writing: "Definitely lives up to the name, magic! Beautifully nourishes my skin and leaves me feeling as if I have just had a facial."
However, others weren't sure about visible improvements. One said: "Absolutely love this cream. It leaves my skin feeling velvety silky smooth all day. Not sure if it has improved the look but definitely has the feel." Another mentioned the high cost of the cream, saying: "Everything about this moisturiser is amazing, I've had 3 lots now and while it is pricey I love it. It feels like a treat everyday."
For customers who've struggled to find the right product, this one seems to be the solution. One reviewer said: "After years of trying to find the perfect balance for my skin, this is it! I would really struggle without it now." Another summed it up: "I seriously can't live without this product!"

Thanks to the cream's popularity, a wave of potential dupes has hit the market - including a £6 (€7) version from Penneys that's been gaining attention online. Beauty fan @beautyglowgirl tested Penneys PS Pro Hydration Cream with SPF 15 against the original Magic Cream and found both felt luxurious under makeup.
While she noted that Tilbury's version had a "strong fragrance" and left "a bit of a film", the Penneys version was "ultra-hydrating", fragrance-free and "sinks in better". Despite liking the budget option "a lot", she admitted the two creams are "definitely not the same".
Meanwhile on Amazon, the Revolution Beauty London Pro Miracle Cream has also been hailed by reviewers as a potential dupe for Charlotte's Magic Cream - and costs just €8.98
One shopper said: "I don't know if this is a dupe or not for the Charlotte Tilbury Magic cream but this did wonders for my super dry skin and made my foundation look perfect." Another claimed: "Its a dupe for charlotte Tilbury, i love it."
A third reviewer agreed it was a decent alternative, but added a humorous downside: "Miracle cream is actually a decent dupe for CT - except for one thing - it smells like Drakkar Noir from the 80's boy scents with an overtone of Giorgio for the Beverly Hills older ladies-- BLECH!!!"

LOVE Island has revealed two original stars have returned to the villa as bombshells to cause chaos before the final - weeks after being dumped from the show. Irish stunner Megan and Spanish lad Blu have appeared in a teaser for tomorrow night's eipsode. 5 Two major Love Island stars are returning to the villa after being dumped earlier in the series 5 Megan has returned to Love Island - after taking swipes at Conor on social media 5 The original islanders are returning as bombshells Iain Stirling revealed the incredible comeback and The Sun understands the pair entered the villa tonight. Megan was voted least favourite girl after dumping Tommy for Conor, before being axed. Blu was dumped after being left single - and had to fight for his place opposite bombshell Shea. And this stunned viewer said "This feels illegal; if the public voted Megan out, why tf bring her back?????" The lads were told to decide between them who would go home, but when neither gave up their place, their co-stars made the decision for them. Megan said before heading back to Love Island: "I'm excited to go back in, I think I left quite abruptly and I'm going back in for some clarity. "It was an easy decision to make. When you can't speak to people for a couple of weeks and have to watch them on telly every night, you want some answers." Most read in Love Island Blu said: "There's a bit of open space now and people know the game a little bit more, so hopefully the couple of girls I've got my eyes on are willing to explore.

Jason Manford on his Irish roots, and how humour kept him out of trouble in Manchester
Jason Manford likely got the performing bug from his mother's side of the family. His maternal grandparents, a folk-singing duo called The Peates, emigrated from Dublin to Manchester in the 1950s. Later, they jumped on the showband wagon. As a kid, Manford, now 44, remembers his grandmother, Nora, playing in Irish bars on Sunday afternoons in the 1980s. 'My memory of those afternoons is sitting under the pool table with me brothers eating crisps hearing my nana singing, Grace or The Fields of Athenry. At some point, my parents worked out that I was able to sing. Nana took a shine to me because of that. As soon as I was able to sing, I'd get up and sing a few songs with her. 'I think, always, I had an idea of what might be funny. From an early age, maybe eight, I used to sing In the Ghetto by Elvis, which is not a funny song, but obviously it's funny because an eight-year-old is singing it. I would try and do a bit of an Elvis impression – the karate kick, a lip curl and shaking the hips. I remember it used to make people laugh. 'My Uncle Michael, the eldest, probably the only one of my uncles and aunties born in Ireland, and the only one with an Irish accent, was hilarious. I loved watching him because he was such a funny performer. He was talented. He did everything – he sang, he played the guitar. He could properly yodel, which is such a funny thing to do. That classic Irish thing where almost the talking between the songs is as entertaining as the songs.' During summer months, Manford came over to Ireland for a couple of weeks' holidays, running amok with his cousins around Templeogue, Dublin. His father is 'very English', so religion wasn't a big part of their lives growing up. He was shocked by how long mass lasted in a Catholic church. 'In C of E, you're in and out,' he says. 'In 25 minutes, he's said his thing. Off you go. In Dublin, it was a case of, 'Are we still here?' It felt like everything in Ireland was a little bit stricter because of the religious element. There were a lot more rules – 'You can't do that,' 'you can't say that' kind of thing. Back in Manchester, things felt a bit more feral.' Jason Manford grew up in Moss Side, near Manchester City's old Maine Road stadium. (Photo by) He adds: 'It's funny, in the UK when I'm on tour, a cousin somewhere or an uncle will occasionally get in touch, and go, 'Oh, Jason, I know you're in Preston this week. I wondered if it's possible to get two tickets. I don't mind paying.' Then I come to Dublin, and I get a phone call from some cousin I've seen three times in me life: 'Jason, can I get 40 tickets?' They ask for all sorts. 'Can you do a meet-and-greet with my girlfriend?' They're not shy about coming forward in Ireland.' Manford grew up on Moss Side, part of inner-city Manchester, home to Manchester City's old stadium, Maine Road. It was a tough neighbourhood, notoriously dubbed 'The Triangle of Death' because of gang violence. Many of Manford's classmates are either dead or in prison. He used his knack for humour as a survival tool. 'Humour was massive for me during my childhood – learning to have a laugh,' he says. 'Learning to laugh at yourself is the most important thing you can learn as a human being. If you don't take things seriously, you're not quick to snap if someone says something provocative. You've always got a way of getting out of things with words rather than actions or being physical. 'If you're funny at school, you can have a laugh with everybody, whether it's the nerds or the bullies. You can get away with things. Bullies didn't pick on me necessarily because I always had something to say, I might be a bit mouthy. Generally, bullies are not good with their words so they wouldn't go toe to toe with you when it comes to arguments, certainly in front of other people or girls. Humour kept me out of trouble. 'Comedy was always something I was interested in. Being witty meant grown-ups noticed me more. The odd teacher noticed me and thought of me for certain things. When I got to high school, our deputy head teacher, Mr. Wiley, if there were any presenting things he needed doing, he would often ask me. Obviously, that's part of the reason my life has shaped the way it is because of someone like him.' Manford was still a teenager when he first did live stand-up in 1999. He was working at a comedy club in Manchester as a glass collector when a comedian booked to perform failed to show up. Manford stepped into the breach and never looked back. He's built an impressive career on the stand-up circuit and is a regular on UK television light entertainment shows. In 2012, Manford made his West End debut in a musical; he's performed lead roles in several musicals, including Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk and Prince Charming in Cinderella. He hasn't yodelled on stage yet, like his Uncle Michael, but his quick-fire comedy chops are always on hand to get him out of a jam if needed. He recalls an incident on stage in Northern Ireland a few years after a 1996 Provisional IRA bombing of city-centre Manchester, close to a shopping centre. 'I remember one of my very early gigs was in Belfast,' he says. 'Belfast now is very different to Belfast around the time coming out of the Northern Ireland Peace Process. We were one of the first sets of English comics to go over and play in the centre of Belfast. There was a guy on, from London before me, and the audience ruined him. I went on, and I said, 'I'm from Manchester.' A guy made a heckle, 'Did you enjoy the bomb?' The whole crowd were like, 'Ooh, that's too far.' I said, 'Well, nobody died, and we got a new NEXT.' That helped to diffuse the situation.' Jason Manford is on a nationwide tour, including Cork's The Everyman, Friday, July 25. See: Jason Manford – Five of his jokes 'Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation towards the local swimming pool. I gave him a glass of water.' 'I spent two years in therapy for my Phil Collins addiction, but I did it. Against all odds. Just take a look at me now.' 'Me and my wife decided we don't want kids. So, if anyone wants them, we can drop them off tomorrow.' 'I don't hate ginger people. Don't get me wrong, I like ginger people. They were the only people who stopped me from getting bullied at school.' ''Do not touch' must be the worst thing to read in braille.'
