Considering buying Estee Double Wear? If you have sensitive skin, thing again...

Small introduction, hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

I got kitted out for Christmas by my mum with a new coat, jumpers, a new dress, new heels and a few more bits and bobs. I have been forever grateful for everything I got this year! One thing I did do was sort my skin out and with my money .. I spent quite a bit on skin care and new make-up!

Introduction/experience at Boots - Clinique counter: I headed to Clinique for the intentions of buying new skincare products and a new foundation... Sarah approached me the lady on the counter & was absolutely lovely! Most make-up counter assistants as we know tend to have the reputation of the following: snobby, sales driven to the point they'll sell you just anything and they also have this thing of looking down their noses... when they're only on minimum wage most of them so I think the management need to snap them out of that attitude straight away! Sarah on the other hand was so friendly, understanding and actually put her time in me. I knew I was going to buy the make-up and skin care yet I did say instead of a jaw match, could she remove my make-up on the left side of my cheek to take a look at it as it was very red.

Acknowledging my sensitive skin & my personal experience with Estee Lauder Double Wear

My skin recently only on the left side of my cheek starting at the bottom of my chin to my eyebrow was red, scarred from small zits I had broke out with flaking around my nose. It got quite delicate and I changed my whole diet thinking that was the reason. I could not understand why I was breaking out when I was walking to work and back 1:30 hours a day, eating a tonne of fruit and veg, avoiding takeaways and sugar... I then looked at my make-up. I religiously take my make-up off at night no matter what (unless I am too drunk from a night out and fall asleep!) At the start of my break-out, the make-up I was using was Estee Lauder double wear and the light concealer also by Estee Lauder. As you can see there we have a combination of a pretty thick layer of make-up if you have done your research on double wear! They claim that the foundation lasts up to fifteen hours! Estee Lauder is fantastic for coverage, amazing for a full days work or a night out! However I personally wouldn't recommended wearing it if you have sensitive skin like I do. Since I have never had problems before with my skin whatsoever, not even a bad breakout, I didn't think twice about what impacts the foundation could have on my skin. Therefore It is recommended that you discuss using this product with a dermatologist before you consume the product. I only just found out my skin was sensitive after looking in to this and what caused my breakout. Any makeup has the potential to clog pores, and double wear just like any other foundation on the market will damage your skin in years to come - hence why skin care is so important!

REVLON colour stay review.

Okay, this is my latest review! My new REVLON eye shadow colour palette. I am loving bright colours atm, expeically on the eyes. When I'm going out, I like to mix pink and gold to create a soft summery kiss to my eyes. Therefore When I found out this was something like £3.00+ i was MEGA exited!!

The colour palette can be just sweeped over the eyes in one colour, or you can mix them all up for an exotic look. The colour stay from REVLON matches their forever growing favorite foundation, 24 hour colour stay. This eye palette is too, 24 hours. The reason why I brought that because obviously with an eye primer, you're bound to make the eye shadow last all day. I think that's great for when you're out, my mascara tends to just come off but my eye shadow doesn't so i'm left feeling a bit bald.. unitl i brought the BENEFIT'S NEW MASCARA hehe but we'll talk another time about that. 

Anyway, money well brought! The container is quite small, handy enough to fit into a clutch or makeup bag. I would recommend having a palette of other pastel colours which are a lot lighter as these would make great colours too mix. I know I haven't worn just one not blended with another yet. I think for my next party I'll be wearing Purple and Silver, ooooooo metallics. ♥

Lush Ocean Salt Facial Scrub ♥

Okay, hello guys! My bedroom is currently under construction - let's call it that, until September. Therefore I don't really want to take any pictures until it's finished in there. Today i'm going to be telling you about my latest product from Lush cosmetics. This is a small pot container therefore it's easy to take with you if you're going on holiday, to a party and you're staying over.. for a weekend break etc... I went in and tested the product for itself to save the disappointment from ordering online and not liking it. The container pretty much does everything on the label. You massage a small amount of the mixture on to your hands and apply onto damp skin. You must not apply too hard as in you're scrubbing it as it can be quite harsh as you can imagine with it being sea salt - so be careful. I feel that as summer has approached, this certain product has helped me stip back the winter skin and has helped me reveal a lighter, fresher complexion.

LUSH has been a favorite store of mine for quite some time now due to the fact that they don't test on animals. They also hold FANTASTIC protesting events against testing on animals. The product comes in at £12.95 for 250g - which is the above pot size. Would i say that's pricey? Considering it's a facial scrub, maybe so. Yet you're getting what you pay for - quality. I would rather apply a small amount of this than too buy a lot cheaper facial scrub that probably has been tested on animals and might actually just damage my skin. This is a genuine treat for the face and is a MUST for summer. The sea salt has been refined to not dry out the skin but to leave the skin feeling refreshed, cool and fully cleansed.

Was i a happy buyer? that's the question: indeed i was!
