High street giants Boots, Superdrug and others are offering a selection of budget-friendly alternatives to the cult favourite Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk lipstick. This beauty essential has graced red carpets and catwalks alike, quickly becoming a daily staple for many since its launch in 2013. The nude-pink hue of Pillow Talk has sparked an entire range of products including lip gloss, blush, and eyeshadow.
Despite its popularity, the £29 price tag for the original lipstick might be a bit steep for some budgets. Thankfully, retailers like Boots and Superdrug, along with online marketplace LookFantastic, have stepped up with similar options that won't break the bank. We've scoped out some of the top picks for Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk alternatives that deliver the same chic look without the hefty cost, reports the Mirror .
With prices ranging from just £3.99 to £12.50, these alternatives could mean big savings for savvy shoppers compared to the high-end original.
Available at Superdrug, Revolution's Satin Kiss lipstick in the shade Icon is a similar to Pillow Talk, according to customers who claim it's "really like" the iconic shade. The product description reads: "Coat your lips in a kiss of satin. Our rich and creamy velvet finish formula comes in 12 gorgeous shades to suit any mood, from nudes to bright pops of colour.
Perfect for matching to our Satin Kiss Lipliners." What are people saying? One satisfied user commented: "I absolutely love this lipstick it's an exact [alternative] for CT pillow talk definitely buy again." Another shared their enthusiasm, stating: "Great lipstick.

" You can purchase it for £5 at either Superdrug or Revolution Beauty London. Over at Boots, there's W7's Lip Culture in the 'naked desire' shade, a near twin to Charlotte Tilbury's famed Pillow Talk Original. The design of the lipstick is uncannily similar to the acclaimed brand, featuring an almost identical ribbed rose gold casing.
The item's description reads: "Flirting with full-impact colour and pursuing soft-as-satin finishes with the W7 Lip Culture Lipstick range!

50. Superdrug is offering the L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Satin Lipstick in Beige A Nu, which has drawn comparisons to Charlotte Tilbury. The lipstick boasts a gold case, although it differs in design from the Charlotte Tilbury tube.

" What are people saying? One reviewer shared their positive experience, saying: "I bought this as a [alternative] for Pillow Talk by Charlotte T. I am very happy with this lipstick, it glides on nicely and has good colour and coverage, I am pale so this is a great warm nude. "I wear it most days even without full makeup, it's natural, moisturising and although does need touch ups, I don't mind as it's not drying on the lips.
Very happy with it and very reasonable price paid." On the other hand, another reviewer wrote: "Absolutely love the colour, smell and shininess. Unfortunately, I won't be buying again as it bleeds.
Shame!". This lipstick can be purchased at Superdrug for £8.99 or at Boots for £9.
