I just bought Estee Lauder Double Wear today in Debenhams:) I bought it in the shade Ecru, and it cost 34euro. I had to try it as soon as I got home:o I love how it looks! I normally wear Revlon Colorstay but this just has a gorgeous finish to it. Really happy so far!:p
I also got a lipgloss and Double Wear concealer free with it which I wasn't expecting at all!:eek: The lipgloss is really nice, not sticky and has a lovely smell! It just enhances my natural lip colour which I like, I'm not big on colourful lips! Need to do some research on the concealer and see what the general opinion on it is!:p

I heard from someone that it actually worked for them, and it sounds like it'd be a godsend for me as my skins gets really oily after even like an hour unless I constantly powder it!
Sounds too good to be true...???
Ya I have a bottle of it and honest to god its brilliant! keeps your make up on really well. I went to the gym, the swimming and shower afterwards to test it and my makeup stayed in place. With only a little smudge from mascara. I've a blog post on it. If you want to check it out I can pm you the link

Bobbi Brown Luminous Moisturizing Foundation in 00 Alabaster, bought in Arnotts today. €38.45, PRETTY steep! They were very helpful in there though. Went in last week and a girl tried some colours on me, was really helpful even after I said I wasn't planning on buying that day! So today I just handed in the card with the details on it and purchased, done and done in about 10 seconds!0 -

Really like the Revlon lip butters. I got Lollipop and wore it over MAC Magenta lip liner - makes such a nice bright pink lip! They're usually in the drawers on the Revlon stand, if anyone can't find them. They don't seem to have them in the main displays in any Boots I've been in, even though they have them

Last week I had a ball to attend for college so I wanted to get a foundation that was long lasting and wouldn't melt off my face (the place was fecking roasting!). Originally wanted to get Revlon Colorstay, but they didn't have a shade to suit me in the dry skin formula >.< So I spent a bit of time looking around, and decided on L'Oreal Infallable. It was kind of an impulse purchase tbh, but I needed to get something that day
Anyway, I like it! I mixed it with some Soap and Glory energy balm to give it a dewy finish as it's quite matte. Sits on the skin really nice, and buffs in well (used the real techniques buffing brush - actually don't know how I put on foundation before getting this!). And it does last on the skin; my foundation stayed in place all night (apart from getting a bit shiny, but that was because of me perspiring with the heat
). Cost €18 in Boots. I wouldn't be the biggest L'Oreal fan at all either (pretty sure this is my only product of theirs), but I do like Infallable a lot. Watch out though if you're really pale, because the lightest colour they had there (vanilla, one I have) is actually a bit darker than in the bottle, and quite yellow toned too. I'm not that pale on my face so it was fine, but just a word of warning. 0 -

Because of shoplifters helping themselves :mad:
I got a lip butter in macaroon, not really sure what all the hype is about to be honest. It's fine, I'll use it now that I've bought it but I don't see myself re-purchasing.
Another purchase I'm disappointed with is the L'oreal gel eyeliner. I got the golden black which has gold glitter/shimmer in it. Lovely idea but it's not very black at all.0 -

So I ended my cosmetics buying ban today! Well, not ended... I just took a break to take advantage of Boots 3 for 2 offer.
I bought :
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light 2. I already own this (I own two of them, in fact) but I really love it and tbh, I'm a total make up snob. This blends really nicely though and it's lovely and creamy and for only six-ish euro, I can afford to have two to keep at home (different shades) and one for carrying around with me.
Bourjois Volumizer mascara. This is my favourite mascara of all time. I'm so happy to have it back.
Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo in On and on Bronze. I love bronze eye products and I've heard a lot about this so I said I'd pick it up. I swatched it on my hand and it does seem to last a really long time.
Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart.
Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple.
Barry M lip gloss in No. 2.
I also bought some nail varnishes which I'll post in the nail varnish thread. 0 -

I like the look of Sweet Tart.
Ooh, I threw my receipt out! They're between eleven and twelve euro. Boots does have 3 for 2 on all make up though so it's quite tempting 0 -
