With week 5 of the #BOBBlogChallenge courtesy of Sam over at www.allthebuzz.co.uk being all about The Princess Product all I could think of was skin, skin, skin!
Once I have my foundation done to perfection I feel a million dollars, and the only time I have felt like that with foundation was when I was matched up at the counter and given a sample to run away and try before midnight, Esteé Lauder Double Wear foundation in Cool Bone, and Pale Almond for those princesses who like to tan!
I had never used this foundation before last Friday and I am officially a convert and bow down to the ravings of MUA's about the wonders of this foundation. It is the ONLY foundation I have ever worn that has lasted me 9 hours of running around Dublin city shopping and commuting. It could have lasted me another 3, if I hadn't had to obey the cardinal rule of taking my makeup off before bed.
Ladies, this foundation lasted a feast in Gourmet Burger, a stressed and starving Katie, an extremely busy Grafton Street...it is in a word, sha-mazing.
The blurb says, "Keeps skin looking fabulous, breathing comfortably through heat, humidity and activity without changing colour, fading or coming off on clothes. Natural matte finish and SPF10 sunscreen to protect skin."
No foundation, not even MAC has lasted me 9 hours with absolutely no budging around my nose and cheeks where I need the most coverage as I am blessed with the most Irish of skin tones. The shade cool bone is also a perfect match for my skin unlike MAC's Matchmaster in 1.5 which is actually not great but which, until I tried this Holy Grail of foundations, I was wearing everyday.
I will definitely be purchasing a full size bottle of Esteé Lauder's doublewear light foundation-when I run out of my MAC, hey I don't like to waste ;)
Esteé Lauder Doublewear Light Stay in Place foundation retails at €36.50 in Boots, which is well worth it. I wish I had a before and then a 9 hours after pic to prove the fabulousness! Might keep you updated with pics via Twitter ;) @KjWheelo and via Facebook www.facebook.com/bloggingitbeautiful
I am looking forward to reading all your Princess Products ladies!
Keep on blogging it beautiful xoxo
