OPI - Flit A Bit NOTD


This is a bright summer NOTD today. (Shame the weather isn't playing along) This is from the OPI -  Summer Flutter collection, I got this in a mini set last year. I like getting the mini collections as you get to try more colours.
A lovely bright, nearly neon orange colour. This needed two coats and applies fairly smoothly, as it is a mini polish the brush is very small and I find that harder to apply with.
I always find this colour catches peoples eyes and is great for cheering you up on a cloudy, rainy day like today.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay In Place foundation and Concealer.


I will never be without these two in my collection. I have oily/combination skin with quite a few blemishes and scars on my cheeks. I'm always trying out new foundation and concealers, but always come back to these.

Double Wear Foundation is a medium to full coverage foundation. It is quite a thick texture and a little goes along way. I apply this many different ways, I have used my fingers, a foundation brush, Sigma F80 and Sigma F15. I find all apply the foundation well. The best tip is to start with the smallest amount and build it up as it can look cakey.
It stays in place for 6-8 hours before I need to powder, this is a long time for my skin. I wear the colour shell which is the perfect match for my skin in the winter. It a little light in the summer but I just use bronzer to add some colour and it looks fine. The only thing I would change about this is I would put a pump on the bottle as I always tip out too much.

The Double Wear Concealer is a full coverage concealer that again stays in place for a good 6-8 hours. This has a doe foot applicator and a little goes a long way. I have the shade 01 Light which is the lightest shade in the range. This is a little dark for me in the winter months but a good match in the summer. The way I apply this is I dab a bit on the area I want it and just blend it with my finger. I use this under my eyes and on my blemishes.

If you have oily skin and like a medium/full coverage then I would definitely give this a try.
