Blogmas Day 1 : My Two Favourite Autumn/Winter Foundations


Despite I have a whole drawer of foundations, these two are my absolute faves for this autumn and winter – Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place foundation and Benefit Big Easy BB Cream – One for work days and one for the weekends, they are seeing me through week after week recently.
Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Foundation

This is my weekdays foundation where I need good coverage to look polish for work, and need it to stay in place all day (as the name suggests!). It is a classic so I think everyone is familiar with this. It has medium to full coverage, yet I don’t find it cakey or heavy at all! In fact it feels light and comfy to wear. The colour match is perfect so it brightens up my skin. The medium to full coverage means I don’t need to put concealer, it saves a bit of time in the morning. I just focus on buffing in the foundation really well using my Real Technique Expert Face Brush.

Benefit Big Easy Multi Balancing Complexion Perfector

I bought this back in summer, and I didn’t like it then. Despite the formula was supposed to be mattifying and oil control, it didn’t stay on my face that well. However, I found it my drawer again recently, and it actually worked really well! I guess my skin becomes less oily in the colder months (and also thanks to my Alpha H Skin Balancing kit – really effective! See my separate blog post here). This is Benefit’s take on BB cream, it has SPF 35 built in. It moisturises, controls oil and minimises pores. It is light coverage and has a liquid-to-powder finish. All these qualities make the BB cream a perfect weekend no-makeup look, it evens out my skin tone yet looking super natural, the “my skin looks this perfect as I roll out of bed” look. I use my fingers to apply this.

Have you switched your foundations to suit the colder months? What are you using at the moment?

Estee Lauder Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum

Lately I have been obsessed with the Estee Lauder Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum . In the past I tried the Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution, it was alright but I didn’t find the result that amazing. So when I got a sample of for this Estee Lauder Enlighten Serum, I didn’t have high hopes … But how wrong I was! The sample bottle lasted me for two generous weeks and after that I rushed out to get the full size. Although it is called a serum, it is a light milky lotion texture, it is easily absorbed into skin and it feels moisturising. With the sample bottle, I used it every night after my cleansing routine. I can see visible results to my face after two weeks. My blemish marks are significantly lighter (my main concern) and the skin tone for the rest of my face is visibly more even.  Now I have the full size bottle (30ml, also available in 50ml size), I am going to follow the instructions to use it both day and night. Use it at night to reduce

Makeup Lego : Jouer Little Black Dress Palette

I love Lego and I love Makeup - what if there is a Lego in the makeup world....?! Jouer Cosmetics has made this dream come true, especially with the two palettes that they have: Blushing Beauty Collection and the Little Black Dress palette. A few YouTubers like Essie Button , Fleur De Force , and Ameila have talked about the Blushing Beauty Collection on their videos, but I actually prefer the Little Black Dress palette instead.
