It has been established that the oils on my face refuse to
cooperate with me and, hence, my second best friend has been a good setting
powder (my first best friend being a good face primer!). NOW! Let me please
explain why all you oily girls need this product in your lives. By ‘oily girls’ I
mean girls with an oily complexion – like myself.
I am a self-confessed powder-holic. I love powders! I love
the texture. I love the feeling of it on my skin. I love how it makes my skin
look flawless but most importantly, I love the fact that it helps in
controlling the oils on my face. I decided to try the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Powder Makeup. Let me
talk packaging: It is a beautiful navy colour with the EL logo in gold on the
front. If this doesn’t say class, I don’t know what does. I imagined myself
pulling this compact out of my bag while on bus, all eyes on me, as I touched
up my makeup. Just like in the movies…. Okay, back to reality. Although the
compact itself is a little bulky, the packing is simply chic.
The product itself is marvellous. The powder really lasts on
the face and the amount of times I need to touch up my makeup has been reduced by half – no joke. During my regular eight-hour shifts at work, I would need to
touch up maybe just once or twice. I am in the shade 3W2 Cashew 93 – how exotic! Not
really. This shade is yellow based and hence works with my skin tone, it is a little
dark on me but I don’t mind it because I use the product with a large powder
brush which evenly distributes the product.
This product is priced at CAD $44 and hence it is a definite
investment but it is an investment worth having. I thoroughly enjoy using this
product and hope you do as well.
Much Love,
xx
