You may remember my review last year on the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. I quite enjoyed that foundation because it worked really well with my skin.
This fall, Estee Lauder released the Double Wear foundation again with a change in formula. I thought I would review it as well, and share my thoughts on it!
The packaging is the same as the old formula. Both are housed in a glass foundation bottle. The product comes out easily and effortlessly. This bottle seems a bit smaller and also more of a rectangular shape than the old one.
At the media preview event, I was told that the main difference is that this one contains 50% more water. Because of that, it is supposed to give the foundation a lighter feel.
Application: Despite having 50% more water, I was told that this foundation still has a medium to heavy coverage. I noticed that this foundation was definitely more watery and liquid-y, which is a given considering that there is more water in the ingredients.
I was able to reach the same about of medium-full coverage with this foundation but had to put on 3 layers. With the old foundation, I only needed 1 layer for medium-full coverage. You could get away with 1 layer as well for light coverage, but I don’t wear foundation often so when I do, I like to go for at least a medium coverage.
Does this photo seem familiar to you? That’s because I was also testing out the Pixi by Petra Endlessly Silky Eye Pen the same day! You can read that review after this one 🙂
Wear: It was very comfortable to wear and I have no complaints about it. There were times that I forgot I was wearing foundation because it wasn’t heavy at all. That day was also pretty warm and I didn’t sweat it all off on the patio while eating.
-Very comfortable, lightweight feeling despite being medium+ coverage
-Feels just like the old Double Wear foundation which I love!
-Need a couple extra layers of foundation to match the medium+ coverage of the old Double Wear
Yay!
What it says (Taken from Pixi Beauty):
Wear: It is not unusual for eyeliners to smudge on me. I blame this on my oily skin type, as well as oily eye lids. I tested this on a hot weekend, while I was out doing some shopping and grabbing food. Nothing out of the ordinary, most eyeliners would last that long right?
What it says (Taken from press release):
Wear: This is where it gets disappointing. Instead of getting a luminescent glow, I got ….nothing. I put the same amount on as I usually would with other highlighters, but there was absolutely no slow or shimmer showing. I angled my face in different positions, tried different lighting, went into the sun… but nope. Nothing.
These are the rollerball version of their perfumes. They are a great addition to a makeup purse or bag!
As mentioned, the products above are from their core collection. However, this Warm Cashmere is one of their limited edition products and new for the fall.
This was the first time that Sekkisei was introduced at an ACI event! I had written a review previously on their White Powder Wash, which you can read 
Last but not least, Paul & Joe! Happy to see their cat shaped lipsticks once again 🙂
The Stila Stay All Day foundation has undergone a few changes in the past year! Last year, the packaging of the bottle was changed. This year, they have added many new shades to the line! As well, the cap contains a hidden concealer now too!

The new Stila one step primer! The crystal clear base in the new primer has 50% water. This gives the product a lighter, more refreshing feel than most silicone-based primers.
Moving on to Korres – two new products pictured above! The first one on the left with the smoothie is the Greek Yogurt Undereye Priming Moisturizer. The coolest part to me was how cold the applicator tip is, which helps to minimize puffy and swollen eyes in the morning.
