Estee lauder Double Wear foundation....what a gem!!

Hey y'all,

 Well I have finally decided to purchase a new foundation as I am sick to death of trying every foundation on the market under £10 and none of them giving me the staying power and coverage I want!! I work in a busy cafe and need my makeup to stay where I put it in the morning! Most of the other formula's I have been using have good coverage but they just don't stay put...so....I decided to splurge on a nice shiny new foundation and chose the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-place makeup and I haven't regretted it!!

This is a creamy, thick foundation but it dries to a semi-matte finish and is OIL FREE!! So those of you who are anything like me and their t-zone gets shinier by the minute when the hotter weather comes in will find this to be a gem on their skin!!

The pros :

  • It has very good coverage.
  • A very small amount goes a long way, so this will last you a very long time. Probably between 4 - 6 months.
  • There is a very big range of shades.
  • Oil Free.
  • WILL stay in place!!
The Cons:

  • The only thing I found bad about it was you can feel it on your skin but I don't mind the feeling of foundation on my face because I know it's still on my skin. Other's may find this a problem. It will be a personal thing.
  • It has no pump but I have heard that a MAC Cosmetics foundation pump fits it very well so I'll have a try at that. 
This foundation retails at £26.50 for 30ml, which for some will be a little steep but it will be worth every penny!!





My shade is 1N1 ECRU. This is a brilliant shade for anyone who wears NW15 studio fix fluid by MAC and
I have found the best way to apply it is with a stipple brush and buff in.

    I totally agree..This is a treat for me to spend this much on a foundation. I generally don't like spending a lot on foundations but thought I'd give it a go...It's so far keeping true to its claims lol. Yes I tried Revlon colour stay a few years back and I do remember really liking it, can't remember why I never re-purchased it thought :S. I'll maybe try it again next time I need a new foundation because I really don't have £26 every time I need a foundation lol

    I use this foundation everyday and so far i have had the same bottle since August, i will prob get another month out of it. £26 does seem a lot but if you average it out over 8 months, you would only be forking this out twice a year. Deffo a great foundation for staying power and coverage :) Love Love Love it!!

The Little Green Soap Company

  Good Morning Everybody! I am back with a little review on a couple of items I purchased a few weeks ago from a lovely little shop on Etsy. The shop name is " The Little Green Soap Company" and they hand make natural  products with a good range to choose from. They are based in the UK and everything is very affordable. A little background to what I was looking for:- Every winter I suffer terribly with very dry, hacked, chapped skin on my finger tips and it can really affect my mood and activities throughout the day. I have mountains of lotions and hand creams but none really ever soften or take the problem away. It usually subsides as summer approaches but come Halloween and the chill starts again, well hello chapped hands. In the past I have bought heavier creams and balms but they always left my hands way too greasy so they were never a practical option, especially when your a mum. As I'm on a bit of a natural and organic switch up at the minute I decided to t...

Welcome 2018

Welcome 2018! I have finally gotten round to this blog thing again lol. I missed it and I'm hoping to make more time for it this year. I've really just been off being a mum and other general life stuff so I don't really have a big dramatic excuse lol. I feel that in my absence a lot have changed, especially with me. I haven't really posted anything in about 2 years and in that time I have grown more and my taste and attitude has changed so as a result I feel that my past posts and content really aren't me anymore and I have picked up quite a few more hobbies along the way, other than just beauty and nails, so I think an overhaul is due on this blog. I intent to keep up with the beauty products that I'm finding interesting at the time but throwing in a few of my new hobbies. I'm currently learning to dress make and crotchet at the minute so we'll see how that goes lol, I  may even show you some bit along my journey :D, along with a few other bits an...

Mac Madness...

Hey Everyone!!                         Well I'm back with a new review of the new Mac Cosmetics goodies I picked up yesterday!! I had a lovely amount of Debenham beauty card points to use up before they expired so of course I had a nosey round Mac..lol. I knew I wanted to try one of the mineralized blushes so I instantly fell in love with "New Romance". It is a soft pink with a hint of peach to it and is very light. In the swatch it is darker but on the cheeks it is just gorgeous. It has a lot of shimmer in it, not big chunks but enough that you could over load on it. This shade is perfect for us paler girls who run away from dark berry or bright purple/pink shades (or maybe that's just me). Saying that, this would still work for darker skin tones as it would work as a highlighter more than a blush. You could also use it over a different shade if you want more colour as it is a very soft, light pink. You can clearly s...
