As I suffer from Rosacea, I decided it was time to try a new foundation to see if I could improve the coverage, so I decided to take a short trip to the fabulous John Lewis Make-up counters at their store in Cheadle, Manchester. (For those non UK readers, John Lewis is a lovely Department Store which has a long standing ethos of ‘partnership’ working from which many other employers could learn…)
After a dab of this and a dab of that, I was recommended the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation and Concealer, which seemed to give the best cover and I was assured that it provides long lasting wear without being overly heavy. I’ve tried it at home now and will definitely do a post about how this is working very soon… I may even be brave and do a short before and after video – yikes – I don’t know who will be more scared – me or you who has to view it!!
Imagine my delight when I came to pay and realised I was entitled to a free gift… Wit Woo!!… I received a lovely new make-up bag which contained a selection of cleanser and moisturisers ……
and a fabulous lip liner, lipstick and lip gloss….
I’d run out of my usual lipstick and couldn’t wait to try the new colour. What do you think of the result?
Lovely! Really pretty shade of lipstick, and free gift too? How could you not : ) Would be interested to see video..I’m always quite envious of people who can use makeup properly…Iol!
haha Smanantha – I didn’t say I could use it properly!! We are going camping on Thursday so it will be when I get back.. Oh no – now I’ve built expectations – yikes!! hehe…
Lol! Bound to be better than my feeble attempts…think the last lipstick I bought was…in the ’90’s!
haha and yikes. I’m simply not brave enough to ‘bare the skin’ without makeup and I always admire those that can.. x
Lol! I don’t think I’m brave! Little knowledge and less skill…!
hehe – practice makes perfect (or not in my case!!) xx
You look lovely : ) …I am resigned to cat treats and crystals in my pockets..cat hair on my clothes..they’re moulting…
That’s a lovely thing to say Samantha – and I wasn’t fishing for a compliment…Thanks so much! I do know that feeling though of the pet hairs – yikes!! We’ve just had Dolly shaved and now she looks like a Jack Russell instead of a long haired Chihuahua as she was moulting like crazy!! Anyway – crystals in your pocket and cat hairs on your clothes – that’s what lifes’ really about! xx
You sure can’t 💄 💋, be sure to check out my latest post that went up today 😊 let me know how you like it
I sure will… Thanks for taking a peek at this post too! x
No problem 😊
I love the Double Wear! how are you getting along with it so far?
Yep – I like it. I used the Laura Mercier mineral powder foundation previously which I do like but felt maybe my skin (now it’s getting a bit more crinkly) may be better with a liquid foundation instead. I think this is doing the trick for coverage and durability. xx
