Estee Lauder Double Wear

Hello!
   Feels like a long time since i last wrote on my blog! So today i am going to write about Estee Lauder's double wear foundation, i know this foundation has been out for a little while now, but i have only just got around to getting my mits on the foundation, and i have to say i am in love with it!
   
   It has SPF 10 in, which means that this foundation will photograph really well, but not only this but i love how long the foundation stays on, as i do have oily skin i find it difficult to find a foundation that i can apply in the morning and not have it slide off my face half way through the day or make my face look really shiny. Another factor that i love from this foundation is how heavy the coverage is, i know that not everyone likes a thick coverage however i love my skin looking flawless, and this foundation does exactly that, however i know that Estee Lauder do a lighter version of double wear for those of you who don't like such a thick and heavy coverage.
   My only problem with this foundation is that you do have to pour the liquid foundation out and that there isn't a pump as i always either tip out too much foundation or to little and at being priced at £28.50, its not a cheap buy, however i would still recommend, as i really am in love with this foundation, and i can definitely say that it's becoming a firm favorite!
    Tell me what you think of this foundation in the comments below!

Real Techniques expert face brush

Hello beauty readers!
   Sorry this post has taken me so long to upload, and that i haven't made a post in what feels like a life time! But exciting things have been happening, one you will hopefully be finding out soon, but for now it is my little secret!
   Anyway, back to the products! Today while browsing my favorite beauty store (Superdrug!) i came across the real technique brush. I knew about these products already as i am an avid pixiwoo youtube, twitter and facebook follower, (little obsessive i know) i have watched a majority of there videos, and i love them and the work that they do. So as i was saying i have known about there brushes for a while now, but for some reason never brought one, and boy do i regret that now. Because i have lots of brushes all ready, especially for eye makeup, i though that i would go for the espert face brush, as they almost always use this brush to apply there foundation with, and a foundation brush is the only brush that i don't own, for £8.99 for one brush could be seen as a little pricey, but i can guaranty you know that you will not regret buying this product!
   Firstly the brush hairs are all synthetic, so there is no animal hair used! (yay!) also the brush hair are so super soft! Also because the brush hairs aren't long and are close to the handle of the brush, this gives you loads of control in how you move and where you apply your foundation, but if you aren't sure how to use there brushes, then the best part about this product is that if you go onto there website: http://realtechniques.com
and then click to 'how to' and then 'brushes' there are videos showing you how to use your brushes, which i think is a brilliant idea, as sometimes you can buy a really amazing looking brush,  to go home to you discover that you have no idea how to use it, and if you don't know, its really hard to find out, which would then lead to wasting your money. The actual brush itself is amazing, i have never used nor owned a foundation brush that seamlessly blends into my skin, and has fantastic coverage of not to heavy nor to thin, also the brush hair don't leave any lines on you skin where the brush almost drags the foundation, leaving lines which you then have to blend with your fingers, and that then defeats the object of a foundation brush.






 Overall i think this is a fantastic product and i would 100% recommend anyone to buy this product, i'll defiantly be investing in some different brushes to see if they are as good as this first real techniques brush i have brought!
