Estée Lauder

This mascara is so versatile as you can create natural looks as well as bold ones due to its wand. It separates the lashes, curls and lengthens them and gives volume. I would definitely repurchase.

I don't know what the hype around this product is, there is no one ingredient that stands out for any skin improvement for mature skin.None of the results are permanent, To use this the rest of your life for fear your skin will look bad if you stop is ridiculous. It seems to have a cult following and it outrageously overpriced. Better stuff out their for a lot less money. One star for lack of perfume and another for not breaking me out.

I’m late to the party but I’ve just discovered ELDW! Totally not what I was expecting! This foundation has a reputation for being thick and heavy but I don’t find it too heavy at all, just nice smooth medium coverage. Maybe it was thicker in the old days? I think this is the reason I haven’t tried it before now but I wish I had. Lovely and easy to apply, it blends out beautifully with Bobbi Brown full face brush but also looks good applying using fingers. It does set quickly but the runny texture means it spreads easily and is easy to blend. I don’t feel like I’ve got much make up on, I suppose maybe because it’s good coverage I don’t use as much? It doesn’t oxidise on me at all. It lasts all day, a tiny bit of oil does come through by the end of the day but I don’t mind it because it isn’t enough to require blotting and looks natural. I have very sensitive skin, especially around the eye area, and I actually react very badly to 90% of foundations. Usually within an hour of putting them on if I can feel stinging around my eyes. I have been wearing this all week and haven’t noticed any reaction yet, just hope it continues. It doesn’t show up any dry patches on my skin which is good, but the only negative thing I would say is that I do feel it draws attention to fine lines slightly, but it wouldn’t put me off wearing it everyday. I like that this comes in neutral shades, pink undertones look muddy on me and yellow make me look like a Simpson, so neutral is perfect! Want to make it my regular foundation - just hope it doesn’t give me spots!
