Estée Lauder 7 Day Free Foundation Trial

Estee Lauder

Did you know that you can visit any Estée Lauder counter and they will give you a free foundation sample that will last you for up to seven days? I only found that out this week (tut tut)! I have been wanting to try Double Wear Light Stay-In-Place Makeup for ages, but I can’t stand my foundation being applied in store, under those harsh fluorescent lights, with the massive pressure to buy straight away. Dreadful. Fast forward to payday, and I was happily dropping cash left, right and center in Red Square when I spotted the Free 7 Day Foundation Trial…be…

Hero Product: Environ Derma-Lac Lotion

WARNING: This is a very unglamorous post. Let’s be frank, winter is not kind to us girls – particularly if, like me, you have to wear stockings and high heels to work…ingrown hairs and dry heels for days! But don’t despair – help is at hand, and you have my mother to thank for this one. I was back home a few weeks ago and was happily ensconced in my Vogue when a rogue foot was suddenly thrust into my face. “Feel my feet – just FEEL how soft they are!” she said. So I did. And they were! When…

Kiehl’s Change Your Skin Challenge

MRC

As you will no doubt have gathered by now, Jules and I are huge Kiehl’s fans, so when the lovely Tori from Kiss, Blush and Tell asked us if we’d like to participate in their “Change Your Skin” Challenge, we couldn’t say “yes” fast enough. The Challenge entails using one of Kiehl’s best-sellers, Midnight Recovery Concentrate, every day for 28 days – they claim that within that time, your skin will be completely transformed and forever changed for the better. It’s a bold claim, so I am interested to see what happens. Jules and I also have such different skin…

My Skincare Routine: Camilla

skincare routine

I have been trying a number of different products recently and I feel like I’m onto a good thing with my current routine, so I thought I’d share it with you. To recap, my skin is incredibly dry, and I suffer with rosacea (which I keep under control with antibiotics) and blemishes. Lately I have also been experiencing congestion on my cheeks which I think is largely down to exercising with make-up on (naughty) – I am trying to remember to take my foundation off now before I hit the gym.
