Makeup | Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation - NEW HOLY GRAIL FOUNDATION!

I bought this foundation on Thursday (13th August 2015) and I'm already IN-LOVE. This foundation has changed my life and that is a bold statement (even for me)! Think it's time for a new holy grail foundation review...


Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup SPF 10

My Summer tan shade. I have also bought a lighter shade (2N1) for Winter

BEFORE - No makeup. Just skincare and SPF (and also ignore the moustache and eyebrows that need sorting... lol oh dear)

BEFORE

AFTER - Just skincare, SPF and foundation on my face. I would still put some concealer under my eyes

I don't think I've fell in love with a foundation as quickly as I have for this one. It's a lightweight, high coverage, long-lasting, smudge-proof foundation. The colour match is perfect.
I think with it being summer, my foundation taste has changed; I would normally love a medium coverage foundation that leaves my skin a bit dewy that I like to powder on top. However, I'm loving this foundation for work purely because I didn't have to powder ONCE during the day (normally I have to do it at least twice)!

Once again, I was lucky enough to find this in my staff shop for £10 (RRP £30)!!! Hence why I bought a Summer and Winter shade for myself. I also bought the Estée Lauder Double Wear Light foundation (Shade Intesity 3.0) but I am yet to test this out. I think I might even prefer this one, because it is described as a lighter coverage and formulation as the original, but it's just a tad too light in colour for me at the moment. Nonetheless, I AM FRICKIN' LOVING THE ORIGINAL DOUBLE WEAR FOUNDATION.


Anyone else swear by this foundation?! Give me your thoughts in the comments if you've tried this too!

Video | Update Morning Skincare Routine

Happy Monday guys!

As mentioned in the video, I promised myself that I wouldn't film this video. Only because the "routine" itself hasn't changed, but the products I used in my old video would have been used up and I would have used so many products since then! Oh well, why not?!

Makeup | Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette - Iconic 3

Hellooo! Hope it's sunny/decent weather/not raining where you are! It's been alright in the midlands for once :)

I've been banging on about this palette for a while now, so here's a post to show you the gloriousness of it...


Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette - Iconic 3

Soooo.. This palette is supposed to be a dupe of Urban Decay's NAKED 3 Palette. On the unit it even says "DUPE!"

I've never used the Urban Decay NAKED 3 palette, so I can't comment on the likeness. What I can comment on, and I will forever more, is HOW BLOODY AMAZING THIS PALETTE IS FOR FOUR POUNDS. FOUR. POUNDS.

I'm obsessed with using this palette recently. It's in my daily routine now, even for work. You have the perfect shades to create a subtle everyday look, but you can also use the more shimmery shades to go alllll out. I use a primer underneath (either the NARS Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base or Benefit's Stay Don't Stray Stay-Put Primer).

As you can tell from the last picture, I use 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, and 8th shade the most. I use these as "all over the lid" eyeshadows, and I would use the 11th shade a crease shade for all my looks.

I know for a fact, as soon as this palette hits pan on any of the shades, I will run and get another. In fact, I'll probably buy a back up soon, so that never has to happen... (This is how much I frickin' love this palette).

If you're young/on a budget/love makeup/a human being, I urge urge urge you to go out and grab this palette. It will complete your collection that you thought was already complete ;)



Hope you like my excitable rant about this palette, I just can't contain my love for it. I've been speaking about it on my sites for over a month now... Oops.

Skincare | Sukin Cream Cleanser - NEW SKINCARE BRAND I LOVE!

A new, natural and ethical skincare brand is on the block and I LOVE THEM!


Sukin Cream Cleanser

First of all, this cleanser smells like Terry's Chocolate Orange. But don't be put off! It's not a sickly sweet smell, just a lovely citrus refreshing smell that wakes me up in the morning (only because it has my mouth dribbling from both corners, lets face it...)

Anyway, the creamy-ness is gorgeous to rub into my dry skin in the morning (and as a second cleanse in the evening!); it doesn't leave my skin feeling dried out and tight. This is the perfect cleanser for me right there.


Formula: A cream cleanser with natural ingredients
Application: A broad bean sized amount rubbed into dry skin
When: Both morning and evening skincare routine for the "skin" cleanse
Do I love?: Anything I would change?: I LOVE LOVE LOVE! I would love for a bigger size and I would definitely pay more for it too! So worth the money
Price: RRP £7.99 for 125ml. Found in my local TK Maxx, but they do stock this brand on Feel Unique.


I picked this up along with the Hydrating Mist Toner, which I also love love love, and when used together, they create a beautiful base for piling on my serums, creams, spf etc.

I'm totally loving this brand and I'm so tempted to blow all my money to try everything else! I wouldn't recommend this cleanser for people who suffer from spot-prone/acne skin, only because the ingredients contain citrus and essential oils and shea butters, which are known to wreak havoc on this type of skin. Otherwise, I would recommend this brand and product to anyone. I think it's an added bonus that they're a lovely, ethical brand too. I've never loved a natural skincare brand before, but things can change right?! Well the certainly have for me...


Anyone else tried anything from this brand? I'm on the brink of pressing order on a Feel Unique order with a few other products I want to try!
