Estee Lauder Double wear Foundation

Review: Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

Available in 44 shades, 30ml for £31- LINK

I love a full coverage, long lasting foundation for days where I know I will be going out after work or when I have all day events. This foundation is all of that in a bottle!

I get a lot hyper pigmentation around my upper lip area and find this foundation has amazing coverage and sometimes I don't even need to use concealer in these areas after applying the foundation. The finish of this foundation is matte, but it doesn't look dry on the skin, your skin still glows and looks healthy. I find that I don't need to top up my make up during the day and I don't powder on top of this foundation either. Ester Lauder claim that this foundation has a 15 hour staying power, I would say I agree with this 100%.

I find if you don't apply this the correct tool it can look and feel heavy and cakey. I use the Louise Young Super Foundation Brush £24 -LINK I find with this brush you get a really smooth, full coverage and flawless finish.

It is difficult to find foundations for asian skin tones, however I find the shade shell beige works perfect for me (I am a NC42 in mac). As Estee Lauder have 44 shades in this foundation, I'm sure theres a shade for everyone.

Any other questions, please comment below.

Lottie London Slay All Day Liquid Lipstick

Lottie London Slay All Day Liquid Lipstick

I've really got into liquid lipsticks recently, as they are easy to apply and stay on for hours, without having to top up every 30 minutes. After using both high end and drug store liquid lipsticks you can really tell the difference, some are really drying and crumble off and some feel light weight and moisturising.

After trying two shades from the Lottie London I can say they feel great on the lips, they feel slightly sticky but not drying at all. These have a matte finish, they are long lasting and can be worn every day.

These come in 8 shades, including some beautiful nude shades, which are very wearable everyday. I would say these are a good dupe for the Kat Von D ever lasting lipsticks

Lottie London Liquid Lipsticks available in 8 shades. £5.95 each from Superdrug -LINK

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish

easy

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Polish

I love painting my nails, but how annoying is it when they chip the next day and you have to take everything off and repaint base coat, colour and top coat. I would love to visit a salon every few weeks to get gels put on my nails, but with two kids its difficult to find the hour that it takes and it also can become very expensive over time.

So I thought I would give this ago, because not only is it easy but inexpensive. This is a two step system, which works like gel but you don't need a lamp to cure the gel. The system doesn't require a base coat, so all you need to do is shape your nails, apply two coats of the colour and one coat of the gel top coat.

I found this lasted about a week before seeing a small chip, which is amazing because a normal polish only lasts a few days. I tested this out without being careful and getting on with my day as usual, washing up, cleaning, washing the kids and all other house chores. I think if I had been a bit more careful it would have lasted about 10 days or even longer.

This is when it was first put on, I was so surprised at how easy it was and loved the shape of the brush, which made the application very clean.

This is 5 days later, where there were no chips and the polish still looked shiny like it had just been applied.

I really enjoyed using these and will be buying some more shades to add to my collection. Inexpensive and so easy to use....I'm impressed.

Comes in 48 shades- LINK!
