FOTD: Chanel Vitalumière Aqua & Winged Eyeliner



My skin is: 
A. Very Oily (t-zone)
B. Acne prone with scaring
C. Sensitive
...not a great combination! 

Now the lighting in the before picture was very kind and my skin doesn't look too bad?! 

Although I do suffer from mild acne and sometimes have outbursts of bad breakouts, I don't like heavy coverage or to feel caked in foundation and concealer to cover my imperfections instead I like to let my skin breathe and to achieve this I use Chanel Vitalumière Aqua. 



It has a thick consistency but does not feel heavy on the skin and it blends out easily. To apply I like to use my fingers and blend out using a patting motion instead of a swiping motion so I can pat on some extra foundation on my more problamic areas around my forehead and chin. 
The lasting power on my oily skin isn't great on my oily areas and I need to blot a couple of time and around mid day I need to apply a little more foundation on my nose as it tends to separate and I can look a little 'patchy' but I love the finish of this foundation so much that this doesn't bother me. 

I love this foundation and I love the finish. I always get compliments on how smooth my skin looks when Inwear it and I would recommend it to everyone. Although it's pricey I do think that it is worth it as a little can go a long way, people always say that its far too expensive for a tiny bottle however the bottle is conceiving as it contains 30ml and this is what most foundations contain but they have larger bottles making it look like they hold more. I like this packaging better as I feel like I'm paying for the product and not the packaging! 

I hope you found this post helpful!

Summer to Fall lips: Restless, Kendall Jenner for Estee Lauder

I love Estée Lauder makeup and Double Wear is my holy grail foundation so when Kendall Jenner became the face of the company and dropped this lipstick I was straight online to place my order!  If I'm not wearing nude lipstick I'm usually sporting orange/red and my favourite is M.A.C Lady Danger and when Restless arrived in the post it instantly reminded me of the old favourite but to my amazement Restless is far better due to better formulation. It is a matte formulation but it is very creamy making it easy to apply and non drying.  The colour is an orange red; if I'm at my palest this looks very orange against my skin tone which I enjoy but when I'm tanned it shows as a little more red so keep this in mind when purchasing what it could look like on your lips.  Estée Lauder have really upped their game this year and I'm excited to see what else they have in mind... Restless is still available online exclusive to  Estée Lauder .

Summer Glow: NARS Copacabana Illuminator

You may have noticed from yesterdays post that I love glowing makeup especially in the summer as it just looks stunning when the sun is shining. Luckily mother nature is on my side having blessed me with oily skin and its really not that bad if you work with it (have a read at this post from Into the Gloss) but I just can't stop myself layering on some extra glow from a tube!  There is so many ways to apply this; you can apply it before you apply your base or you can mix it with your foundation and you can apply it after your makeup to your cheekbones etc. I have tried all the methods and I love them all but I have been using this on my colar bones and the tops of my shoulders and it leaves a beautiful sunkissed sheen.  Copacabana is a pale, pinked toned illuminator but they do have other shades available that may suit your skintone better.  Nars Cosmetics can be purchaced from narscosmetics.co.uk or via spacenk.com

Scent-sational: Tom Ford Santal Blush

The first time I heard about this perfume was while watching amodelrecomends perfume collection on youtube, I have purchased perfumes that Ruth has reviewed before and I have absolutely loved them, so when this perfume was mentioned I new I had to try it... then I noticed the cost! I visited Harvey Nichols on a trip to Edinburgh last year and the first counter I spotted when walking through the doors was of course the Tom Ford counter, I walked over and spritzed a little onto the card and instantly fell in love but I couldn't justify the cost so instead I bought Agent Provocateur (another from Ruth's collection - but the summer edition). A year later on another trip, I bit the bullet, took the plunge and splurged out £135 for the 50ml.  I received some sighs and shocked faces from family members but then I let them smell it and a few could then justify the cost.  Now I am not great at describing scents so I have included what Harvey Nichols had to say on their w...
