Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation

Since I've been testing this out over the past month or so I have had such a love/hate relationship with it. I've never had so many emotions over a foundation. It's been real. 

Estee Lauder Pure Color Blush - Blushing Nude

I've been completely loving peach tone blushes at the moment maybe it's just me subconsciously pining for warmer weather but either way they are slowly becoming a large part of my blush collection. This shade misleadingly named Blushing Nude is a peachy/apricot shade with warm undertones and a satin finish. Being heavy handed blushes were something I stayed away from for ages for fear that I would like a pink and shimmery hot mess but since finding fool proof brushes that isn't an issue anymore (I hope). Even if I didn't have brushes to rescue me, over pigmentation wouldn't be a problem with this. I know that some people see that as a fault in the product but I much prefer a blush to be buildable, which it absolutely is, than have it all smack dab on your face in one fell swoop.

It applies beautifully because it's so finely milled and has a smooth, silky texture. However, yes unfortunately there is a however, it is powdery to swatch and to apply. It doesn't make it difficult to apply or to blend but it wasn't something I was expecting from a £23 blush and did hinder my love for it slightly. It doesn't look powdery on the skin though and creates a gorgeous peachy glow without the shimmer. All in all it lasted around 4-5 hours on me before it disappeared into the rest of my make up.

I'm eager to try more Estee Lauder blushes after having a look through the other shades in the collection and enjoying this one so much so please feel free to hit me up with some recommendations if you have any!

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Bronzer

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Bronzer £32 - link (currently on offer at 10% off at Debenhams)

This is a super beautiful product. First of all the packaging is amazing, although pretty huge so not that travel friendly, but the actual bronzer is a complete winner. 

Normally I'm not a bronzer kind of girl unless it's to very lightly (and somewhat badly) attempt to contour but this is way too warm for my skin tone to use as that, so I brushed it on to the high points of my face instead to give me some colour and it works wonderfully. It has a really light shimmer running through it which also, unfortunately, makes it not so great for contouring but absolutely lovely for giving a subtle glow that is perfect for Summer.

I chose the shade 'medium' despite my fair skin tone as I find it easier and just prefer to blend in a slightly darker product than layering a lighter one, it also helps that this is a complete dream to blend and doesn't leave you with the much dreaded muddy look. 

As for the £32 price tag I think it is completely worth it. Not only is the product great and the packaging completely gorgeous but you get 21 grams of product(!!!). It will take me years to get through that amount of bronzer so it was definitely a great investment for me it just all depends on if you think it's worth it for you.  

This is a beautiful product to add to your collection, especially for the Summer and I couldn't recommend it enough.

What do you think of this? Do you have a favourite bronzer?
