Top 5 Foundations for Dry, Pale Skin: Estee Lauder, MUA and more

 
Foundation is something that is quite selective to the individual. Everyone has their own skin type and look for different things in the foundation, for me I look for something dewy or glowy and something that covers redness really well. I do get hormonal breakouts on occasion so decent coverage over those is a bonus, but concealer is my best friend then so it's not a requirement. 


So, with that in mind, today I'm bringing you a top 5 list of my favourite foundation for my dry skin. And, just before I start I am going to apologize for the terrible picture! 



MUA Undress Your Skin in Porcelain
This is the best inexpensive foundation for pale skin. The shade is really light (possibly the lightest I've found in the drugstore) and it offers a light but slightly buildable coverage. I looks really natural on the skin, and is a total bargain at only £5 a tube. You can purchase here. 

B Radiant Illuminating Foundation in LinenI love the B range from Superdurg. They offer a nice range of products, and the ones that I've tried are brilliant in quality. This foundation is brilliant for people with dry skin. It leaves a nice dewy effect on the skin, hide what you want it to hide and offers a medium coverage. The dewy effect isn't greasy like some (Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation, I'm talking to you), but it just gives you a healthy appearance. You can read my full review here if you want to know more!

Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in 52 Vanilla 
I'm sure I don't need to say to much on this because this, and it's original counterpart, are cult foundations in the blogging world. They are brilliant quality at a pretty decent price. This one isn't as long lasting as the original foundation, but the effect on the skin is great. It leaves the skin feeling moisturized, covers redness and flaws well and lasts well enough if you set it with a powder or setting spray.   You can purchase this here.

Please excuse the TERRIBLE photo!

 Chanel Vita Lumiere Aqua in B10
I have a love hate relationship with this foundation. I adore it sometimes, and other I hate it but at the moment I'm having a love affair with the beaut. It's a luxurious, light coverage foundation that blend into the skin well and lasts on the skin. It's not going to cover everything in the world on your face, and it won't last as long as something like Double Wear but it will leave the skin looking healthy and with a hit of concealer it will give you a nice flawless look. Read my full review here from when I first fell in love with this!

Estee Lauder Double Wear in Cool Bone
This is my favourite EVER foundation. I've been in love with this since the first moment I put it on my face and will repurchase it until the end. It's a long lasting foundation that really lives up to it's claims. It lasts all day on the skin, blends really well and isn't a cakey matte mess on the skin. You can read my full review here

Products I Regret Buying : Hair Dye, Lipgloss and More

 
Is it wrong that I love writing posts about products I regret buying or disappointing products? I really do love it because it's all well and good sharing products that you love and adore, but I think it's important to share things that don't work for you. I'd like to be warned if I was thinking of buying something that was crap. So, without further or do, I leave you with my list of crap products.

L'Oreal Mousse Absolue (Shade 425) 

This seems like a brilliant concept to me! I need about 1 and half dyes to go all over my hair, root to tip meaning half of one dye gets wasted every time I dye my hair. With this being reusable (even if was more expensive than some) I thought it would work out being better value for me. 

It would have been better value, had this worked. It barely took to my hair, only really showing up in the mid lengths. My roots looked completely untouched, and overall my hair looked quite patchy. 

My hair takes colour really well, but with this it just looked awful! I won't be wasting another £10.99 on this, and I would rather just have a little left over with hair dyes that actually work. 

And this fades worse than even semi-permanent dyes. I used to use the casting creme gloss and it latest nicely in my hair. This has faded about 5 shades in just three washes.  

Charles Worthington Hair Healer Leave In Conditioner

I normally get along with any leave in conditioners. I mean there are ones that are a million times better than others, but they all at least so something for me. This does nothing other than make my hair feel slightly crispy. Unlike many leave in conditioners, this is a gel texture rather than a cream. Even on wet hair, I found that it sat on top of the hair like a gel rather than sinking in a nourishing the hair like a conditioner should. It's not going to break the bank, but for the price I did expect more and from now on I'll stick to my Tresemee treatments from now on.   
 

Mellor and Russell Nourishing Hair Oil

I picked this up in poundland, thinking that even if it's not brilliant to oil will be great for helping tame some of my dry frizz but this cannot even do that. I've used this on both dry and wet hair, and it was terrible in both situations. On wet hair, it felt like I'd just added water on my hair. It didn't help condition my hair in any shape or form. On dry hair, it gave it the weirdest texture EVER. My hair has never felt like this, and it then created a very strange sound because of the texture. Not even worth £1. 

FashionistA Ready To Wear Brush on Concealer 

I brought this when I was in desperate need of a concealer on the way to uni. I'd done my makeup really poorly, I had blemishes gracing my chin and they were big enough to see from space. I grabbed this thinking I could pop it under my eyes (it had been a late night) and I could blend it over the blemishes to cover them a little. This didn't help with either.

Under my eyes, it was to heavy in texture. It creased slightly, and even with the heavy texture it didn't really cover anything all that well. It did slightly cover the darkness, but I get better coverage from everything else I've tried. 

On my blemishes, it did nothing. It covered not redness and blended to nothing. I could feel it on my skin, but it didn't cover anything. It was uncomfortable to wear, and I just wouldn't use this again. 
 

Illamasqua Rich Liquid Foundation (120)

I grabbed this from a blog sale, and was told it was the closest shade to the NC20 range at MAC. It's so far from that, it's just not. It's very orange in colour and I just cannot see that suiting many skin tones. 

I also hate the texture. On me, no matter what base I put on, it was thick and cakey. It didn't blend well, it went patchy and I won't even leave the house in it.
 

Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream  (Extra Light)

I wanted to love this. I was on the look out for a summer foundation product, and after finishing my Even Better from Clinique I grabbed this. I stupidly just brought it right off the bat without trying a sample of anything like that.  

I should have tried a sample first because even thought it felt and looked nice when I tested it on my hand in the store, when I use this on my face it's awful. It sits on top of the skin rather than blending into it. I can that I've got makeup on from a mile away, and it just leaves a really sticky texture on my skin.

I tried tweeting Clinique to ask for tips on how to use this, but I've had no answer so I've given up. I've written this off as a lost cause, and have gone off in search of my summer makeup love. 
 

Nivea Young Be Beautiful Tinted Moisturiser

I grabbed this for the huge expense of 20p in Superdrug one time. I was new to makeup, and really wanted to find a great base product. I thought this would be great for everyday wear because I've loved nivea for quite some time and the tint was just what I was after. 

The shade is meant to be universal but I really don't think it is. It is very dark and I don't think it would suit many people. If there was a shade range, or if this was just a few shades lighter I would have loved it. It offered a nice coverage for a tinted moisturizer, but I just cannot pull this off.  

Wet n Wild Xplode Gloss (E84803)

I picked this up for the huge price of 85p on cosmetics fairy. I was putting in an order and thought that I would try out the lip gloss. I picked a lighter shade, hoping that it would be the most universal. 

The shade is just not good. It's really light, and very metallic. Even in the centre of the lips or all over, it looks awful. It's very unflattering, and I can't see this suiting anyone of any skin tone. 

The one upside to this is that is smells amazing. You literally want to eat it. 
 

ELF Mineral Lip Gloss (Wild) 

I would love this is I could get any of the darn product out. I love the colour, and I love the texture of the gloss once I've finally got some product out. 

It takes me putting the brush into the pot about 10 times to get enough product to cover the lips.  

 Estee Lauder Pure Colour Gloss (Copper)

I snapped this up in a three peice set in Superdrug when it was on cleanser. I think I paid less than a fiver for the three, and I fell in love with two shades. the pink is great for using in the centre of the lips to make them look fuller. The clear gloss is great for all over but the copper shade is just really unflattering.

It's insanely metallic for one thing, and the orange tone just doesn't suit me. It was very unflattering on the lips, alone or over colours and I just cannot use it.

Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara

The Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Volume Mascara claim to multiply, magnify and 'grow' lashes with three different high volume fibers that help create a false lash effect. They says that the base is mousse light and blended with conditioned with a lash advancing vitamin complex. The brush is an over-sized bristle brush with two different bristles to keep lashes clump free.

I got my hands on this when I purchased the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation (review here).  One end was the brilliant Double Wear Concealer (review here), the second was the Sumptuous Extreme Mascara. 

The bristle brush is big but nothing too big like the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara. The tapered effect means you can reach the shorter lashes in the inner corner and the smaller tip means to can do the bottom lashes easily too. 



I found this great for building natural volume and adding some length. The first coat doesn't work magic with volume or length, but it does pack on the colour. The first stock really makes my lashes black, and the second coat really packs a punch. It gives me a nice boost of length, and gives them volume without look over the top. 




I like this mascara, but I don't love it. I think I might love it if I picked it up in the full size but because the brush is so long and the wand part so short it's hard to get to all of the lashes and really work the brush into the roots of the lashes. 

You can pick this Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara up at Estee Lauder counters or online here for £22.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Flawless Wear Concealer is sold as a long wearing 15 hour concealer that offers flawless coverage with a comfortable feel on the skin. It offers a luminous finish, is transfer proof,  colour true and oil free. It's  available in 8 shades and is £20 a tube. 



 The coverage offered from this product is the first thing I noticed when using it. I expected it to be full coverage, and it is. The best thing about it though is that it offers the full coverage in a formula that is blendable, not drying and long wearing. It doesn't cake or crease on me, and it offers sun protection with it's SPF10. 

I use this under my eyes and on blemishes and it works brilliantly for both. It doesn't dry out the area under my eyes, or settle into any other lines that might appear. It covers the dark circles well, and conceals redness on blemishes amazingly well. 



The finish of this concealer is a favourite of mine. It's not really dewy or anything like that, and it doesn't have any skin of shimmer or sparkle in it. It's not matte either though, so if you have a dewy or natural looking foundation, this blends in really well with it. 



This lasts all day, and I'm not exaggerating. I put this on at half 7 in the morning when getting ready for work, and it was still in place at 5 when I finished. I'm so impressed with this and it's now replacing my Collection 2000  Lasting Perfection and my MAC Pro Long Wear Concealer.   

The packaging is absolutely gorgeous, though I can only comment on the small tube I got as a free gift with my foundation the gold branding and clear tube makes the product look classy and it feels quite expensive. 

You can pick this up at Estee Lauder counters or online here for £20.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation | 66 Cool Bone

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place Makeup comes in 30 shades and cost £27.50 for 30ml. It is described as a long lasting yet lightweight foundation that wears for 12 hours. It contains SPF10 and leaves a supposed natural finish on the skin. 

 

I picked up the shade 66 Cool Bone which is one of the lightest shades I believe. It's a great skin match, and the lady in Boots on Bond Street really helped me choose a shade that would last through summer and winter, and one that really suited my skin tone.  



The liquid is very thick, much like Revlon Color Stay, but it blends into my skin like a dream. I don't find it heavy, cakey or anything like that. I'm not sure that I would call it lightweight because I consider Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua lightweight (review here) but it's not heavy either. It's a medium to full coverage, and builds really well. 



I found the lasting power to be amazing. I had it on for about 12 hours, and the only change I saw in my skin was the fact that it had worn off a little on my blemishes around my chin. That didn't happen till about hour 8 though, so I'm very impressed. Normally, foundations last about 2 hours at most on my blemishes so 8 is amazing.  



The finish is a natural one, maybe slightly leaning towards satin. It's not totally matte, but it's not dewy either. It lasts really well with and without powder, so you can choose to play up the dew or mattify it if you wish. 

 

  The packaging is amazing. It's a frosted glass bottle, with beautiful gold branding and blue writing on it. It feels like it's worth £27.50, and the bottle looks gorgeous on my vanity. The only thing I don't like is the fact that it doesn't have a pump. the liquid is quite thick so it doesn't get everywhere quickly but a little to much does come out when I try to pour it onto the back of my hand. 

 You can get pick this up at Estee Lauder counters in places like Debenhams or online here for £27.50.

Lipgloss Collection | MAC, Estee Lauder & More

 

Lip Smackers Fanta Gloss

This is a great budget clear gloss that isn't sticky but can be slightly greasy on the lips. It smells amazing thought.  

 Twilight "Bella" Lipgloss

This is a great clear glittery lipgloss that is simple and nice on the lips. It's a little sticky but the glitter doesn't irritate my lips and it lasts a good amount of time. 

 Estee Lauder Pure Colour Gloss in Quartz

This is a nice gloss because it's not to glossy. It gives a nice sheen to the lips without making them sticky or wet looking. It smells good too. 

The Body Shop Gloss

I like this because it has a slight yellow tint to it so it's a bit different from the regular clear gloss I would use over lippy. 

Revlon Colour Burst Lipgloss in Crystal Water 

I got this because of Sprinkle of Glitter. It's a slightly frosted clear gloss full of the most gorgeous fine milled glitter in just about every shade. It's amazing. 

MAC Tender Tone in Tread Gently

I want MAC to repromote these. They are a lip balm with SPF15 but I use it as a gloss. It's a nice shimmery clear shade that keeps lips moisturized, gives them a gloss look and smells amazing. 

L'Oreal Glam Shine Blush Gloss in Rosewood Blush
This is one of my go to nudes. It's not to glossy but leaves a nice sheen on the lips. It looks great just in the centre or all over and it's lasts well for a gloss too. 
MAC Lustre Glass in Sinnamon 
This is was my first MAC lipgloss and I adore it. It's a great brown nude colour with shimmer in it. It's a little sticky but the colour is beautiful and I love that the brush is a brush rather than sponge tip. 

NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in Pop
I got this when NYX had a huge sale. I love the formlua of these glosses but I prefer the shades that don't have glitter in them because the glitter does feel gritty on the lips. The colour comes of clear though and it smells like cherries so it's pretty good. 
Rimmel Gloss Stick
I love this alone or over lipstick. It's smooth, and doesn't get sticky. It's a nice colour and it was really cheap too.
MAC Plush Glass in Fullfilled 
I looked up swatches before buying this and the ones I found made it look like the colour in the tube but to be honest it's just a clear plumping lipgloss. It lasts ok, it is a little sticky and does have that tingle effect most plumping glosses have.

NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in Tea Rose
I adore this gloss. It's a nice rose pink cream colour, and it smells like cherries. I love it and want some more from this range. 
Max Factor Max Effect Lipgloss
This smells like watermelon and looks great on the lips. The colour pay off is nice and it's not to sticky either.
Rimmel Stay Glossy Gloss in Stay My Rose
This is a nice pink toned gloss that isn't sticky and creates a beautiful sheen on the lips. It lasts ages too and smells nice. 
17  Ultimate Volume Lipgloss in Fuzzy Yellow Petal Flower
Can we just spend a minute on the name? Cute right? This is like a lipgloss version of Lovelorn by MAC. It's a nice pink with a little gold shimmer. It's not sticky and it's really pigmented. 
L'Oreal Glam Shine Gloss in Crystal
This is a great gloss. It doesn't taste that great but it lasts a nice amount of time and the sheen it creates is gorgeous. The pink colour is great for spring summer so I'm using this more now 
Revlon Colour Burst Lipgloss in Peony
This is a lovely peach/coral toned gloss that lasts ages on the lips, applies smoothly and is super pigmented. It's not that expensive, and it's a great spring colour with some gold shimmer running through it. 

 

Revlon Super Lusturous Lipgloss in Lilac Pastel 

This was so hard to track down but I finally found it in poundland for just £1 obviously. It's a nice lilac lipgloss and the packaging is really nice too. 

MAC Cremesheen Glass in Boy Bait

I got this as part as a holiday set and I love it. It's a nicely pigmented creamy gloss that is a great pink brown nude colour. 

Max Factor Max Effect Lipgloss in Ruby 
This is a gorgeous smelling red lip gloss that is smooth on the lips, just pigmented enough for a red hint to show and it's not too sticky either.
Revlon Colour Burst Lipgloss in Rose Quartz 
I love this gloss just like then other colour burst lipglosses. It's pigmented, not that sticky and lasts a long time. It's got a nice sliver shimmer running through it too and works really well in the centre of the lip to make them look a little fuller. 
Colour Works Lipgloss 
This is similar to boy Bait my MAC but a little more pigmented. It's a nice gloss but not the best. It's not the worst either. It's got a nice colour pay off and smells nice too.

Disappointing Products #2

I'm an impulse buyer. I wish I was the kind of person who could see something they liked, walk away from it, research it and go back if I liked it or leave it has bad reviews. I just can't do that. I have no will power, and if I see something I want I get it. That, unfortunately, leads to me being disappointed a fair ol' few times because I haven't read up on anything. So, today I have my disappointing products part 2. You can read part 1 here.

  Lets start with hair products. I have two at the moment that just aren't impressing me. I actually mentioned one of these in my last one, but I photographed it again without realizing it. I won't say much about that one, you can just go and read the last post! 

Nicky Clarke Endless Waves Leave In Conditioning Spritz

This just doesn't do anything to my hair. Maybe my hair is too curly or dry or something, but it does nothing. I like that it's a spray but it doesn't give my hair any kind of conditioning. The Gliss Liquid Keratin is much a better option if you want something like that, or even This Is 10 products if you can afford them. 

Kerastase Soleie Overnight Restorative Treatment 

It does nothing. That's all I say! Check out my last one for a better description.

Daisy Eau So Fresh By Marc Jacobs 

I love this perfume, but I regret spending so much money on it because I don't wear it. The scent is like Parmaviolets, which made me want it. But I just can't find occasions to wear it like I can with perfumes like Lola or Wonderstruck so it just sits there. It looks nice on the dressing table, but that's about it.

Soap and Glory Lid Stuff in Off The Wall Flowers

I think I've raved about these in the past, but after trying other shadows I realize these really aren't that great. It's partly my fault for getting a palette with a couple of colours I wouldn't use to often, but it's partly the product because they aren't that pigmented, and they aren't that easy to work with. There are much better shadows out there like MUA or Sleek or even NARS. 

Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Sugar 

 This is my fault really because I probably picked the worst colour range for my skin tone. These blushes are great, but they aren't as great as some as the single blushes I've tried. The matte ones tend to go on a little patchy, and the shimmery one is just not the right colour for me. 

Collection Cover & Go Foundation and Concealer Duo 

This isn't good. I reviewed it here is you want to give it a read, but to sum up I just don't like this. The foundation goes on really strangely. It offers little to no coverage, and lasts about an hour. The concealer is very sticky and doesn't dry or set in any way. It offers a little coverage, but not enough for a concealer and it's just not creamy enough for me. 

Miss Sporty So Matte Perfect Stay Foundation

This claims to wear 14 hours. It doesn't. This claims to be a matte finish foundation. It's not. It claims to give you a flawless looking complexion. It doesn't This offers very little coverage. It doesn't go on very well, and it doesn't go matte. It's not really dewy, but it's not matte by any stretch of the imagination. If I can get it to look acceptable on my skin, it doesn't last anywhere near 14 hours, or 4 hours for that matter. 

 

Lipcote This stuff stings like a bitch, for lack of a better phrase. I just cannot even bare to put this on my mouth anymore. Even if my lips are not chapped, or cracked (which is barely ever) it hurts, but even the smallest crack on your lips ensures that you want to rip this stuff off your face. It doesn't really keep my lipstick on longer either. It creates this strange texture on your lips, and if you rub your lips together the lipstick comes off in a weird balls of products. 

Estee Lauder Pure Colour Gloss in Quartz

 This is okay for a gloss I suppose, but it's not good enough for the price you pay. I just find that it doesn't offer enough gloss, if that makes sense. When you pull the wand out, there isn't enough product on the wand to even do a one lip, and feels greasy on the lips. Whilst it feels greasy on the lips it doesn't offer any kind of highly glossy finish. Just not worth it in my opinion.

Empties #1

Be prepared for a long post guys. I’m going to try and keep it as short as possible and not ramble to much. These are the empties I’ve gathered since the 15^th of September. I can only give you the precise date because it’s they day I moved up to uni, and these are the only products I’ve had with me. So, on with what I’ve used up. 

Superdrug Tea Tree Moisturiser

There isn’t much to say about this to be honest, except that the scent is so strong it makes your eyes water. It’s great for those slightly oily days or if you’re having a major breakout, but other than that it’s not too much different from other moisturisers. It’s doesn’t dry out my skin, but it doesn’t work miracles. It’s just ok. 

MAC Cleanse Off Oil

I’m so sad this is gone. I adore this stuff, and because of my spending ban I cannot purchase another just yet but I will be when I have the cash to. It’s the best makeup remover that I’ve ever tried, and it removes every bit of makeup on my face. It does leave a bit of an oily residue, but for my dry skin it’s not too bad. I either wipe it off with a baby wipe, or cleanse with a hot cloth cleanser. 

Clinique Rinse Off Makeup Solvent 

I don’t recommend this. For the price, it’s nothing. It doesn’t remover waterproof makeup, or anything remotely stubborn. It stings a little when I use it on my eyes, and it’s just not worth the money. 

Sure Woman Maximum Protection Deodorant

I debated about putting this in this post because it seems like strange thing for me to talk about but I have to ask something of you all. I brought this in Boots when it was on sale. It was normally about £5, but it was knocked down to £2.50. I didn’t think much of it at the time but now I fear it’s been discontinued. It’s the best deodorant ever! It’s smells nice and it really works. 

Simple Light Hydrating Moisturiser

If you don’t need to much moisture this is for you. It’s a simple product that does what it says on the tin. It lightly moisturises the skin, without leaving a scent or any kind of residue on it. It’s also super cheap which is great to. 

Max Factor Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint in 04

This isn’t used up, it’s just dried out. I’ve had this for quite some time, and it’s lasted pretty well but I didn’t get that much wear out of it  because of the shade. If I would have brought it in the autumn months it would have had a lot more wear but it’s just not a summer colour so it didn’t see the light of day. 

Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipstick in 6 Pink Parfait

This technically isn’t finished either, but it belongs here because the bullet broke and I can no longer use it. I’m sad that it’s gone because it wasn’t cheap but it’s wasn’t the best lipstick in the world either so I won’t be repurchasing it. The colour was decent, but didn’t last all that long on the lips. 

MAC Lipstick in Sweetie (Lustre)

I will repurchase this. It’s the best lipstick I’ve used in a long time and it works amazingly well for fall and winter because it’s got that deep purple hue to it that screams autumn. It didn’t last all that long, but I didn’t care because it was a fabulous colour. It gives a beautiful stained effect to the lips rather than blanking them out like some lipsticks can which I think is fabulous. 

MAC Limited Edition Lipstick in To Catch A Sailor (Frost)

I wasn’t a fan of this, and this has a similar story to the Estee Lauder lipstick. The bullet broke and I depotted it, but the colour just wasn’t worth the hassle of it all so I binned it. I love the packaging and as sad as it sounds I will miss it looking nice a pretty in my collection.   

MAC Select SPF 15 Foundation in NW20

This was a really nice foundation, and had I had it in the right shade it would have been used up a lot sooner. It’s a nice foundation for those who have combination skin and it has the SPF built in so for people like me whose moisturiser doesn’t have it in, this is great. It gives a medium coverage, but it’s most certainly buildable to. It lasted pretty well and didn’t melt off my face. 

MAC Studio Tech Foundation in NW20

I used this as a concealer because it’s just too thick to use as a foundation. Again, I would have preferred this if it were in a better shade for me but it worked well enough. It’s not the best concealer in the world, but it’s better than some. I wouldn’t repurchase it.  

MAC Eyeshadow in Crème De Violet

This isn’t technically an empty, it’s a depotted shadow but the container is empty so I put it here. I have a review of this here so read that to see what I thought. 

MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow in Rich Core 

I love this, and wish it wasn’t limited edition. I used this as crease colour for more dramatic looks and as a liner at times too.  It’s a nice shadow, that was really blendable and I loved it. I could have got more use out of it but the shadow fell out of the pan and broke so it was no more. If they were to ever re-introduce them I will snap another one up.
