Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup For Face & Body SPF 15

I've never really intend to use this foundation as a foundation but a concealer, I love it as a concealer in the old formula and use up quite a few tubes years ago. I happily went to a Estee Lauder counter to pick up their Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup For Face & Body SPF 15, then they told me that they are discontinuing this foundation in Singapore and they are left with just limited shades.

I admit I did panic, I was wondering why the hell would they just bring a product not long ago and so fast they're discontinuing it?? No market for the beauty consumers here I guess?! I'm still pretty upset about it because I love this product to death and I still think its the best out there.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover Camouflage Makeup For Face & Body SPF 15 (#11 Very Light) (SGD $58) is a very full coverage foundation that can be use for face or body, but I never use it as a foundation but a concealer. It can be a bit drying and does cake up and look cakey if you put on too much, so a little goes a very long way because it has a extremely high coverage and does cover absolutely everything. It does oxidized a shade darker on my skin thats why I got such a light shade but anyway the shades here in Singapore are very much limited too. I must work, blend and pat this onto my under eyes or blemishes very fast because it will dry up fast.

A lot of people thinks it looks very unnatural but I don't think so, as long as you use just the tiniest little bit for concealing or mix a tiny little bit with a dewy foundation or moisturizer you will have the best looking flawless face.

I believe you can tell how much I love this product and I definitely recommend it, there is no words to express my love for it. As long as you use it with the right way/technique it will look right! Thats what I believe and just make it work. 

What do you think? Try it yet? Love or hate it? Do tell me about it!

Estee Lauder Pure Color EyeShadow Duo (#02 Cobblestones)

Isn't the packaging pretty?! I'm been a Estee Lauder Fan for more then 10 years now and I've never tried any of their eyeshadows at all, can you believe what I've been missing?! The beautiful sturdy gold compact with a generous sized mirror and  an applicator with an actual brush on it. One sad fact that all duos is going to be discontinued in Singapore they're replacing it with trios.

I've been searching for the 'Raisins' Duo but it is not available in Singapore so I grab 'Cobblestones' instead and have been real happy about it.

Estee Lauder Pure Color EyeShadow Duo (#02 Cobblestones) (SGD$50) comes with a slightly frosty light champagne beige and a medium warm tone shimmery reddish/copper brown. The lighter colour actually looks more of a satin finish. The texture is smooth and easy to blend, the pigmentation is  not great just average and it is a must to use primer underneath the shadows. There's completely no fallouts even though the shadows are really soft which is a very good thing.

Overall I find that it is still an excellent product even the pigmentation is average that is not really a problem because it can be easily build up to intensify the colour and pigmentation. The only thing is that they are not exactly budget friendly.

*For my fellow Singaporeans who still wanna get them do try and ask any of the Estee Lauder Counters but just not those located in the city town area, I believe they are still available in certain counters while they're trying to clear stocks for now. I'm not sure whether they are discontinuing for the other Internationals countries out there but I'm sure you could ask your local counters.

Have a very enjoyable happy weekend & I be back soon for more reviews!!

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

First off I never tried the old formulation of Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation therefore I cannot comment on it. Its kind of weird that I never try their double wear foundation. I have been a life-long customer and was never disappointed with any of their products, I would always pass it up every time I went by.

I have been hunting for a matt foundation that can hold up well with my extremely oily T-zone and combat the very humid/hot Singapore environment, I sweat buckets whenever I am not in an air-conditioned place/room or without a fan blowing. Finally I caved and bought it after many reviews on U Tube.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup: 1W1BONE 17 (SGD $58)  has a remarkable staying power with SPF 10 and will not transfer/smudge on clothes, not sure about the 15 hours claim but it lasted around 8-9 hours on me with my makeup base and setting spray. I just need to blot my T-zone once during the mid-day. Usually my face would look pretty oily and worn off after I reach home, I was very surprise that it held up pretty darn good. It doesn't look cakey at all. For a flawless full coverage I would just need 1 pump for my entire face with my beauty blender. Most foundations will oxidize on me but not with this one.

I have been loving this foundation,  it has already surpass my Relvon Colorstay Liquid Foundation and has become my 'holy grail' matte foundation.
