PRODUCT RAVE #1 - Estée Lauder Double Wear All-Day Glow BB Moisture Makeup SPF 30 & Brush-On Glow BB Highlighter




I was planning to write this review for a couple of days now but I just couldn't sit down on my butt and begin typing, but now! :)
I've been testing these newest Estée Lauder products for a week or so and I have to say I'm impressed!

 Let's get started with the Double Wear All-Day Glow BB Moisture Makeup SPF 30. Yes, quite a long name for one product :) I'm gonna stuck with the name BB cream for the rest of the post as it's listed under the cathegory BB creams on their website (www.esteelauder.com).


As you can see on my picture it has a very creamy texture which helps you to apply it on your skin smoothly. My Real Techniques Buffing Brush (Core Collection) does the job perfectly.
TIP! You only need a tiny amount of product and it's enough to cover your whole face. I did a mistake first when I applied way to much  on to my skin and my faced looked like a discoball :)

 I would say this product is somewhere in between a BB cream and a foundation. If I have to, I would definitely say it's more like a foundation than a BB cream. It gives you medium coverage with a radiant finish. My skin looks fresh and with a natural glow. It stays on my face all day without any powder or re-application! :) Don't be scared because of the "ALL-DAY GLOW" name, it gives you just the right amount of radiance, you won't look like you have an oily skin day at all! 
Another bonus is that it contains SPF 30 so it protects your skin and it's great for the summer! :) 
I'm using the shade Intensity 2.0 which is the second lightest shade and it's the perfect match to my skin! The price of the products is around 8000 ISK so it's definitely not cheap but it's worth every penny in my opinion and because you really just need a tiny amount of it for each usage it lasts for a longer period of time! You can also got some good deals on makeup products during TAX FREE days in Hagkaup for example. It's a good way to stay aware of ongoing promotions to press a LIKE on Estée Lauder's Icelandic Facebook Page. :)

Another product has just launched at the same time with the All-Day Glow BB cream... It's the Double Wear Brush-On Glow BB Highlighter. I'm using the shade 2W Light Medium (Warm). 
As the name indicates it's a highlighter, but I would definitely recommened to use it as an under-eye concealer if you don't have very dark circles. If you have, you can also use it on the top of your concealer. It gives you a light-medium coverage and brightens up your under-eye area and wherever you put it. I'm using it also to highlight my cheeks. It's very easy to apply because it's like a pen, you paint on your face with the brush and you just turn the top to get more product out of it. It works exactly like Touche Eclat from Yves Saint Laurent and it looks similar but the Estée Lauder Highlighter pen gives you a bit more coverage in my opinion. It's around 6000 ISK. 

I love using both products but if I have to choose one of them, I would definitely go for the BB Glow Foundation! I hope you find this post useful! :) 

Until next time,

Eva
