Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

Hello lovelies..! Wow it's been so long since I've blogged, I just never find the time.! I've been buying loads of stuff and trying it out so it's not like I've got nothing to blog about..!! Anyway enough of the moaning. I finally purchased the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Foundation. I've heard it's all the rage and it was recommended to me especially because I have oily skin. This foundation is also highly regarded by make up artist Lisa Eldridge! It promises to be long wearing and keep shine at bay for hours!! 

My Verdict........... Disappointed!!! This foundation did not cover my blemishes very well and I was disappointed at how much I had to use to try and conceal them. What I did find instead that I had to use a separate concealer on top of marks and scars which I don't do at all with other foundations. The other let down was that it did not make any difference to the shine on my face, I was blotting as per usual!!! On the plus side however this foundation is long wearing because my make up stayed in place for hours and it also has Sun Protection (SPF 10). It comes in a pretty bottle but without a pump so you have to be careful when pouring, it's priced at £27.50. This foundation is of a thick consistency and is very buildable.! The other good thing is that they offer an i-match service which means you get a comprehensive matching service. The assistant I had when matching my shade was lovely and she talked me through the matching  process step by step. It comes in 30 different shades so you are bound to find one that perfectly matches your skin. I was matched to shade 'Tawny' which really suits my skin tone. All in all I won't be re-purchasing this product because of the negatives I've experienced with it. I'd love to hear if you have tried it and what your views are!! Please feel free to leave me a comment..! 

Thanks for reading ❤

    You should try the double wear camouflage foundation, thats what I use, great lasting power and will work well with your oily skin, its a very heavy coverage but looks and feels really light on the skin, I use it to hide my scars and even my tattoos it really is brilliant! Its the same price and my only concern is that there isnt a great shade selection so I usually have to mix it with other foundations to get the right shade, hope that helps x

Hello Beauts! This post is slightly different to my normal reviews/opinions posts..! I would love to know what you girls think of red lipstick on thin lips..! Unfortunately I haven't been blessed with Angelina's pout and I feel when wearing red lipstick my lips look thinner than they already are..! I normally use MACs Ruby Woo and I recently purchased MACs Lady Danger too..!! I love a matte finish but not sure I pull it off!! I know this sounds crazy but I feel red lips make my lips look drawn on.!!! I've been seeing a lot of fellow bloggers on twitter rocking red lips and they look gorge!!!!  I'd love to know if you have any tips or tricks you could share to make a red lip long wearing and what your preferences are regarding a satin or matte finish and why! How can I feel comfortable wearing a red lip during the day too?? I heard there are no rules with that statement!! Tell me what you think!! Thanks for reading ❤

Hello Beauts..! I've been meaning to do a review on the incredible Beauty Blender, a girls best friend indeed. I purchased mine direct from the website http://www.beautyblender.co.uk/  I bought the Beautyblender Classic and Blender Cleanser Set at £26.50. The sponge comes in the form of a tear drop and its best used damp so I always give mine a quick rinse in tepid water. I use my blender with liquid and cream foundations and the results are amazing, I apply the product to the back of my hand and dab the blender on it!! It always provides a flawless and airbrushed finish and you can work with the blender to build coverage too. To begin with, I dab the blender with the product on my face and then use a bouncing technique to ensure the foundation is evenly applied. Since it is a sponge you would think that it would absorb most of the product but that isn't the case..! In fact a little goes a long way when using this amazing sponge correctly. I use it with concealers and cream b
