Estee Lauder Lipstick Review

Estee Lauder 120&370 Lipstick Review

DISCLAIMER: I have not been paid by Estee, I have only recently purchased some of their lipsticks, I have tried their make-up before, but I fell in love with their lipsticks. Everything I'll be writing is 100% true, it's just my opinion.

Hello and Good Morning! I'm back again! It's lovely to get into the flow of things! I've enjoyed my Christmas break, but I've missed sitting down and writing: reviews, recipes and advice blog posts! It's a chilly morning today, I have the heating on full blast; and rocking out my bunny slippers ... So cosy it's unreal! Any how, as you know Christmas has flown away, very upsetting, but with that I've been treating myself, I'm lipstick OBSESSED! My collection is silly but they're gorgeous; I recently picked up these Estee Lauder ones and I've fallen in love. I've never had a red shade, simply because I didn't think I could pull if off, but DAMN let me just say ... They are stunning!
Sorry for rambling, if you want to see a detailed review, instead of me spilling words onto a page, then have a little read down below :).

PRESENTATION:

Iridescent. It’s like you are holding a lipstick shaped sapphire, it gleams in the sunlight and screams natural beauty. Estee Lauder have a wonderful reputation of creating eccentric products, and these lipsticks are no exception. When I first unleashed these beauties from the cardboard exterior I was stunned by how beautiful and compact they were, you can carry these around with ease! The gold and navy-blue represent the true Estee Lauder colours, you know you are receiving luxury when you see these statement shades. On the other hand, when I took the lid off, I was stunned that it was magnetic … Yes MAGNETIC! They had gone through the trouble of paying such close attention to detail that they inserted a magnetic mechanism; which ensures a tight lock; sometimes with click-on lids it can come undone in your bag; whereas this is locked tight, no need to worry about lipstick going all over your bag. Other than that, I feel very opulent and loved when I pick up this lipstick, I know that my well-earned money has gone towards a fanciful company.
In addition to this, when you un-click the lipstick, you are met with the stamp, ‘Estee Lauder’ on the side, just to remind you that they are always there for you, it also makes it very personal. I also noticed that the actual lipstick was sharp like a bullet … WHICH I ADORE! It makes it easier for a smooth application, and precision, I tried using this without a lipliner and it was so easy! 

THE PRODUCT:


In regards to the lipstick, perfection! It glides on silky smooth which is a must for me! Before discovering higher-end lipsticks I struggled finding a product that didn’t feel like chalk … But this is beyond wonderful, and the pigmentation is stunning! One swipe and a burst of colour is applied to your lips … When I say, this I mean it, no more than one swipe otherwise you will transfer like crazy! Believe me my boyfriend learnt the hard way … Constantly staining his cheek.
Estee Lauder use the key ingredient seed oil, this is what makes the lipstick stay together, as well as glide like butter. This is what I love about their formula, it doesn’t dry out your lip, especially when this is a matte lipstick … And that’s also true to their statement. Both colours are matte, and gorgeous colours. They suit all skin types! I was always worried about trying a red lipstick, as I’m deadly pale; but these two work really well with my skin tone. 
On the other hand, the staying power on these lipsticks were insane! I could have them BOTH on all day long, and would only have to re-apply once, and that was due to eating and drinking throughout the day. Normally when I take a few sips of my drink with other lipsticks, it clumps up together which is disgusting, whereas this doesn't move! Defiantly a plus in my books, and I'm very hard to please ... In terms of lipsticks anyway.



THE PRICE:


Now let’s talk about price. It’s not cheap, but if you are willing to go the extra mile and make sure that your lipstick has great pigmentation, staying power and easy to apply; then I don’t think you’d mind spending, £25.50. Yes, that is the retail price of this lipstick, but if you are a lipstick collector like me; and you feel like lipstick is a stable to your final look, then I would HIGHLY recommend this product!
This is the BEST collection of lipsticks I have ever tried, and I have Mac, Chanel and YSL. But these Estee Lauder ones are my staple, I’m wearing them to death at the moment.

Review

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

Disclaimer: I am not being paid by Estee Lauder, I just simply love this foundation, and I want to write a positive review on this product.
Hello again my lovely people! I am here again, but this time I am writing a review on a new favourite of mine! I bought it recently and I've fallen in love! It's now a staple in my life and I want to share my thoughts, feelings and detailed information about the product.
If you wish to find out more, have a little look read and enjoy! :D

PRESENTATION:

Estee Lauder has always presented their products in a beautiful manor, it signifies opulence and a great passion for higher end beauty. The hint of golden essence is essential to their brand; this is what they are all about; it makes me feel rich and flawless; as I know that I have sunk my money into a great company. In regards to this foundation I love the matte glass bottle, it's something I don't normally see with foundation, in comparison to my YSL youth liberator foundation, that's in a plain glass bottle, and for my MAC Studio Sculpt, it's in a plastic tube. Estee Lauder has upped the foundation packaging game! They are unique and fabulous. They are one of my favourite beauty brands, their foundations are so creamy and easy to work with; but I'll explain the formulation later on in the blog post.
I feel that the font is clear and easy to read, which is handy for people that don't have very good eyesight. In addition to this, the font matches the golden lid, and is consistent with their iconic brand scheme. This tells me, that Estee like to keep their products consistent throughout, they are a well organised and thought out brand. By linking all their products together by having the same colour it would not only depreciate them from any other company. But it would give them a better reputation as they have always kept the same theme. That's what I love most about Estee, they do what they know best. 

THE PRODUCT:

First and foremost, there are no harmful chemicals or fragrance in this product, which is perfect because not only is this great for sensitive skin, but for all skin, it won't cause any irritation. When I was using the YSL youth liberator foundation the fragrance they put inside the product made me rash. However, after using this foundation I can tell you that this doesn't happen with this! The formulation is creamy, and has a great liquid consistency. As shown in the pictures above, you can see that it's not too runny, it's not sliding off my hand; but it's thick enough that it stays in place. 
I apply this with a damp beauty blender, it's easy to blend and looks fantastic when it sets, in regards to skin type; I'm dry. It's a matte finish foundation, but it works brilliantly with dry! My skin is so dry at the moment that I'm flaking. This foundation does not stick to certain parts of the face, I have worn this a few times now and the staying power is amazing!
After 3 hours of wear I was not creasing, and it was still matte. 
After 5 I started to notice my forehead, and the sides of my nose getting shiny; but that was about it.
After 7 hours slight separation around my nose started to happen, it highlighted my pours, but nothing major.
Estee offer a smashing 44 shades, this is perfect for all skin colours, which is perfect! I'm in the shade 1C0 Shell, that's the lightest shade in yellow tones. This is perfect for my skin colour, finding a foundation in my shade is near enough impossible, as they appear too yellow or orange. 
The coverage is perfect! It's medium and high coverage, it builds really easy, you don't have to blend for hours on end :'). 
The only negative aspect I have about this product would be that there is no pump provided, it's not a massive error, but I prefer a pump, it makes it easier to distribute; but other than that, it's my go-to foundation.

HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT:

  1. Exfoliate your face with your desired facial scrub;
  2. mositurise;
  3. prime with your favourite primer;
  4. dip your beauty blender or brush in the product and blend into the skin;
  5. wait until dry and apply another layer if need be.

PRICE:

This foundation retails for £30, you get 30ml, which is more than enough for 3 months. Think about this, £10 a month. You would spend that amount on a drugstore foundation, but this is amazing quality, and doesn't contain harmful chemicals. I feel like this is a great value for money, you are buying into a great brand, which don't test against animals. 
This is the best foundation that I have ever tried! And I have tried a few higher end foundations, this was not a waste of money; and when I run out I'm sure I will buy another bottle.
