Estée Lauder

These fools are ruining Tuscany and Estee an trying to sell weak vanilla water in a fancy bottle. This company, once magnificent testament to American can do possibilities is being led by clueless fools who appear self destructive. This is weak, cheap smelling and BORING . It is supposed to be the high end line from EL . A joke totally , and the laugh will be on them when the sales continue plummeting .

Skin Musk from Wal Mart smells a million times better and lasts longer . What are they thinking? That we are idiots ?

I miss the beautiful , rich. And complex scents that graced the Estée Lauder counters most of my life . Many of them could not be given away now . ( Check out the watered down Tuscany and pitiful Aliage and sad Estee . I would not think of buying them in their present condition. )

I recently got a sample of this from a beauty store because I am looking for a new foundation. I have used the regular Double Wear before, but find it a bit too heavy for everyday use, so I was excited to try this one. However, this foundation does almost nothing for me.

The foundation has a very runny texture, which is easy to apply and blend just using hands. It evens out my skin color a tiny bit, but that is it. It doesn't really make the appearance of my skin any better and I just feel dull-looking compared to other foundations. This foundation is really expensive for almost invisible results!

This foundation is very similar in feel to The Ordinary Serum Foundation, however the The Ordinary foundation is far superior when it comes to the finished result, and that at a tiny fraction of the price! It also has a better color range, so I would recommend trying that foundation instead.

It’s been a few years since I’ve tried this, and I think that it comes in more shades now. When I tried it, they gave me about a 2 weeks supply as a sample. I didn’t buy it.
At the time, it was really hard to find any foundation that was light enough (shade wise) for my skin, but the shade that she gave me was close enough. I just used my fingers to apply it. The coverage was pretty good and I had awful acne at the time, so that was quite important to me.
It lasted all day and didn’t seem to visibly sink into my pores even though I didn’t use primer. It didn’t transfer either. But it did not look natural at all. In fact, my husband told me, without my asking for any opinion or even telling him that I was trying something new, that my skin looked like plastic. When I looked in the mirror, I couldn’t disagree. I’d really rather have discoloration or pimples peeking through than look like my face was made of plastic.
Even if it had looked good on me, I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t have a pump. I find that unhygienic and messy. It’s easy to pour out too much and waste it, and I don’t like holding my fingers or a sponge over the opening of the bottle, especially when I end up needing to do it over and over again. I still would have just dealt with that if the foundation looked good on me, but it didn’t.
If you want to try this, definitely get a sample first. A lot of people are able to make it work well for them. I wasn’t one of them, but you could be. Just find out by using a sample for a week or so before you buy it.

overall: 10/10

This is a fantastic mascara. It lengthens and adds drama to my lashes. I recommend cleaning off the wand before applying to the lashes as otherwise it can be very clumpy. I don't experience any flaking or smudging with this mascara. It is really expensive, but even so I would repurchase.

This serum works because it contains Ascorbyl Glucoside.
Ascorbyl glucoside is a derivative of ascorbic acid (AA), also known as vitamin C, can be obtained through diet from plants such as citrus fruits and leafy green vegetables. While ascorbyl glucoside shares many similarities to its precursor form, AA, its structure is less volatile and more favorable to use in skincare formulations.
I used it for about a week once a day and it helped with my skin texture and brightening.
I would definitely repurchase this but it is a bit pricey.
Along with Vitamin C, it contains a lot of good ingredients but silicones as well.
