Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation.

This is a foundation that I've been trying out for a while now, but I've held back from doing a review for a bit longer just because it's a pricey one.

At £29.50 for 30mls it's definitely the most I've forked out for a product so far.

However, i have to say, it's worth it. I am totally in love with this foundation. The coverage is quite full, but feels lightweight. It has great lasting power, lasting all day, but doesn't smudge or come off on your clothes. (Handy if you've got a day of trying on outfits! Haha)

This foundation also feels hydrating on your skin, instead of leaving it feeling dey or cracked. Plus once I take it off at night, my skin still feels hydrated and smooth.

I went to the Estée Lauder counter and had a foundation shade match, so it could be as close to my natural skin tone as possible.

She marched me up to Pure Beige, which is not the palest shade, and combats the redness I sometimes suffer from.

So overall I am totally loving this foundation. Although the price does sting, in my opinion it's worth it for the quality of the product.

I also got the Estée Lauder Take it Off makeup remover, which I'll do a post on soon, so keep an eye out for that!

Bronzed Godess?

Contouring has always been a world of mystery to me,something I'd never really tried my hand at. Until recently.
After hearing a bit of hype surrounding this product (and its major selling point!) I decided to give it a go.
It's the Bourjois Delice De Poundre Bronzing Powder. Now i'm not even going to pretend that I know what that means in French.

I got the shade 52, which is the second lightest shade, as my complexion is quite pale and I didn't want to end up with OTT!
Now the big selling point, which is a little bit of a novelty (I'm a sucker for novelty.) This bronzer has a chocolate scent! Now it's not the most amazing smelling scent, but I was still impressed by this gimmick.

Now down to the business. Is it any good?

Well it has just a slight hint of shimmer, which isn't too much and gives a nice glow to your skin. It has good pigmentation, leaving a visible contour without having to cake loads on. And it lasts all day.

All in all I've fallen in love with this bronzer, and contouring in general. It gives your face more definition and thins your face too.

The amount of selfies on my phone after using this is testament to how much I love it!

My Favourite Blush

The blush that I'm absolutely loving at the moment is MAC's Rosy Outlook,

Its a sweet baby oink that compliments my fair complexion amazingly, and gives a nice healthy glow. Perfect for winter.

Its also super pigmented without being to overbearing, so you can build up the colour or leave it as a pink hint.

Whats your favourite blush and does it change with the season?

B Clean Melting Gel Cleaner

As someone who suffers from problematic skin, my skincare routine can be one of the most important parts of my day.
If I don't make sure my face is clean and clear of makeup and dirt at the end of the night, I end up with red, dry, flaky skin which can be embarrassing and sometimes hard to resolve or hide.
So obviously a good cleanser is going to be a big part of my routine.
The main problem I find is a lot of skincare products can be too harsh, or full of chemicals for my skin and I cant use them without pain, redness or just bad results all round.

However the B Clean Melting Gel Cleanser from Superdrug, is super gentle, feels great and really works well.

It applies as a gel,which i dab over my face with my fingers, and as you rub it melts into your skin turning to an oil. Then you wash it off with warm water and it leaves your face clean, soft and clear of makeup and dirt. It even works well on eye makeup, with a gentle rub!

The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is the packaging (surely that says a lot!) I don't know if I like the super simpleness, or if its too simple. It's a strange critic but it's the biggest bug bear I have against this product.
Also an added bonus is this is a Cruelty Free product, which is an amazing thing to see so clearly labelled on the product.

It's currently priced at £6.99 from Superdrug, for 125ml, which lasts a long time. There is currently a Buy One Get One Free offer on selected B Products too, including makeup!
