Hi Karen,
The Estee Lauder pack is amazing value for money for sure and would be a great start up pack for somebody just getting into makeup but for me the quality of the products is really hit and miss.

I really like the eye shadows they are all pretty comparable to MAC, well pigmented, easy to blend and apply and the colour range is great, I love one of the lipsticks, the colour is called Pink Champagne and is a perfect semi cool toned pink which works great with my colouring and the 2 lip glosses are beautiful but other than that the other products aren’t great.

The 2 blushers and the bronzer hardly register on my skin and this really isn’t a problem i have ever had before, im a pretty run of the mill light tanned blonde so dont ever really have problems with pigmentation but these just dont work for me!

I HATE the eye makeup remover it would take me lots of rubbing to make it work which i am so not prepared to do on my eyes, the brushes are shockingly poor quality and the eye kohl is the hardest I have ever tried!

I realy think if you didnt have that much experience with high quality makeup and just wanted a cheap start out pack it would be a good buy but for me not so much!

Hi Holly,

Hmm, I’ll have to look that up when I hit up the counters. Florida is very humid so I’ll need something that photographs well and doesn’t move.

OoOOO, that EL pack sounds AMAZING! Do you love it?

Hi Karen,
Yes it is a totally matte finish so I keep it well way from my eye area but i tend to use MAC creme blush on my cheeks or a shimmery powder of some sort so it doesnt look too flat!
It does look great on photos, it would be perfect for a bride because it doesnt move all day!
I love how it doesnt transfer onto my clothes too!
Im actually getting the HUGE Estee Lauder Christmas packs tomorrow – its meant to be an offer which you are allowed to buy for £40 when you buy Lauder fragrance but my friend on the counter is allowing me to buy one without buying the fragrance so i will get it all for about £30 with my discount It is amazing it has a huge shadow pallette, a blush palette, brushes, lipsticks and lots of other things! Im sooo excited to get my hands on it

Hi Lexi,

Aww… I can’t believe the day has arrived. I remember you talking about it in October and it seems to have come so quickly.

Hope your first day back goes smoothly.
