FOTD and Mini Review

Today I am going car shopping so I chucked a quick look together and had a bit of time left over so I thought what better thing is there to do with my time than write a blog post?! A FOTD is quick and easy, and I don't want to class this as a tutorial because it is super simple.

Eyes - I always do my eyes before my base, I can never understand why you'd do base first because your eye-shadow's fall out!

Maybelline Colour Tattoo - Bad to the bronze (just all over my lid then up to my crease)

Urban Decay - Sidecar (all over the bad to the bronze)

My Mini review is going to be on the Estee Lauder foundation that I am wearing today. When I went to Boots not so long ago to try the new Lancome foundation, I stumbled across this newbie from Estee and decided to get a sample. I can't remember what colour I am sorry!. Now first of all I have dry/very dry skin with a lot of redness, I don't normally have much more than that to cover - thankfully an advantage of dry skin is a shortage of spots *touch wood*. This is a very light feeling foundation (as the name suggests!), it is very watery and you need to shake this quite well before you apply. It blends onto the skin well (I use the Real Techniques Buffing Brush) and sinks into the skin. As you can tell from the pictures, it photographs beautifully and really does look like 'your skin but better'. The only problem I have found with this foundation is the lasting power; I have tried it two times whilst going to sixth form and just 3 hours in it'd be blotchy and melting off. I'm not sure I would buy the full version because it retails at 27pound and it really hasn't "wow'd" me; I would pick Loreal Magique foundation or Rimmel Wake Me Up anyday.

Thanks for reading, let me know your thoughts on the foundation!
