Chanel Haul + Estee Lauder Double Wear Trial

Yes... I went shopping but I swear it's not totally for me! This is actually for my sister's wedding! As you all know I am doing my sisters make up for her wedding and we wanted to buy some foundation and everything really needed for the base because my sister doesn't actually wear much make up :) What's cool, is that I can use it as well because I am the same colour as my sister and this is going to be the start of my kit! I have been using all the products hygienically because I think that the foundation is awesome! Awesome enough to make it in my kit! ;)
So what I got was....
  • Chanel Base Lumiere - This has the prettiest pinky-purpley pearlescent in it, apparently good for photos :P
  • Chanel Pro Lumiere - #20 Clair
  • Poudre Universelle Compacte - #30 Naturel
  • Eclat Lumiere Highlighter Face Pen - #20 Clair
Pro Lumiere - #20 Clair
Base Lumiere
Base Lumiere spread out
====================================

I also got a tester for the Estee Lauder Double Wear because I heard that it was a good foundation (can you tell I'm shopping around for things in my kit hahah) and I am in Desert Beige. I put this foundation on with the stippling brush just to try it out because I failed last time I tried to use the stippling brush and I was so surprised with the result that I took photos so you guys can see! My skin is HORRIBLE right now, I have 3 huge zits the size of Earth on my face and you can barely see it on my photos! This foundation gave amazing coverage and it dries to a powdery finish. BUTTTTTT! As I was taking off my make up before I showered I saw that it sorta creased up or settled into fine lines more like it under my eyes! I've actually rarely experienced this before and I was so shocked because I was actually loving this foundation! I will give it another try just to make sure that it actually agree with me but yeah... disappointing :(

  7. Oooh Chanel..... :)
    I love Estee Lauder double wear but it can be a little toooo thick!!! Maybe you could mix it with a little moisteriser to make it less cakey?? But it's fab for coverage :)

  12. i also tried the double wear foundation before and had the same problems as you with creasing :( but you don't need the full coverage anyway dear, your skin always looks like it's in great condition! :)

    thanks for your comment :) a lot of ppl said the same thing about the mirror. it does remind me a lot of anna sui's but lots cheaper so i'm happy! :) xx

  13. Great reviews of the foundation. I heard lots of good things about the Chanel pro lumiere. And it's a good thing you managed to get a tester for the Estee Lauder Double Wear instead of buying the bottle- it's too bad it if creases again though :(
    You have great skin by the way!

  14. I've never tried Chanel make up! But it sounds like it's pretty good. I need something that's light, and keeps the moisture! Things always go into creases for me! Maybe because I'm old and have wrinkles :)

  21. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?

    I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
    Nevertheless think of if you added some great visuals
    or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content
    is excellent but with images and videos, this blog could certainly be one of the most
    beneficial in its niche. Great blog!
