Well, technically, this is yesterday's face, although I'm writing it on the day I wore it, today, in order to publish it tomorrow, which is not today, yet...oh I am confusing myself. Anyway, in this I'm wearing some products that I haven't reviewed yet so despite it being my usual look, it's still somewhat new...kind of.
I have perfected the gormless look. Hurrah!
Wearing: Estee Lauder Double Wear in Fresco (sample); Gosh Touch Up Concealer on me lovely spots, innit; By Terry Touche Veloutee under eyes; Bourjois Rose Coup de Foudre blush; Collection 2000 Extreme liner; Collection 2000 Big Fake mascara.
I'm really pleased with the By Terry concealer/highlighter. It hides my dark circles so much better than Touche Eclat ever did, I know they're still visible but they're so much better than without, I tell you! And it was a bargain! Woop woop!
The Collection 2000 mascara was a very good purchase too, I've seen it on Pixiwoo and heaps of other beauty blogs and I can see why they love it. The brush is ENORMOUS and yet it doesn't clump. Me being me I still get loads of mascara on my eyelids, but that's par for the course.
I'm still in a bit of a tizzy over Double Wear. Yes, the colour is perfect for my silly skin at the moment. Yes, the longevity is amazing (applied at 8, lasted all the way till 4 when I took it off after my long powerwalk and it was still there despite the sweat, so very impressed with that.) I was expecting the coverage to be a bit better but then I didn't use very much as I only have a teeny tiny sample and I wanted to test it over a couple of days to see if it broke me out (so far, so good). So I guess I'm kind of leaning towards making a purchase, if I can justify buying ANOTHER high-end foundation so soon after the Chanel debacle. I do need a lighter foundation...hm.
Enough rambling from me for now! Have any of you tried Double Wear? Love it/loathe it? Let me know! Please?

Gorgeous photo! I can't wear touché éclat as even the lightest shade is too dark for me :( I've not heard of By Terry, have you reviewed it? I'll have to check back! I use Chanel mat lumiere btw and love it xx
ReplyDeleteOoh I've never heard about the By Terry concealer before...I've been using collection 2000's touche eclat rip off...it's okay but the textures slightly powdery.
ReplyDeleteLove the top/dress btw!

ReplyDelete@Sarah: thank you! By Terry is a brand created by the genius woman who came up with Touche Eclat, so the colours are quite similar from what I could see, but I'd recommend swatching to be sure, I think they sell By Terry in Space NK over here! Review to follow xx
ReplyDelete@Danni: I shall be reviewing By Terry soon enough but I can direct you to this review on the Beauty Bite ( http://bit.ly/fk0dqs ) which is where I first read about it! I've tried Collection 2000 concealers before and sadly they just don't do enough for me!xx PS hope the link works!
Ooooooooooooooooooooh I am so crushing on Double Wear right now! Are you wearing the full version or light one? I want the light one, food or foundation though...? xxx
