Esteè Lauder Doublewear vs Tarte Foundation {Review}

Hi everyone! Today's post is a bit different from my usual again! After two years of using the same foundation, I finally switched it up. I was never a believer in high-end makeup, until I noticed that Estee Lauder was doing a Lilly Pulitzer gift (and you all know I could NOT pass that up). I decided to try Estee's foundation to get my gift, considering that would probably be the only thing I would get my money's worth out of. 

I could not believe how well it worked, I was seriously amazed! I never believed that there was huge difference between your typical drug store makeup, and the high end. I just assumed you were paying for the name, and BOY was I WRONG! While I loved my Estee, I decided to give Tarte a try after getting color matched at my local Ulta. The lady who color matched me at Ulta proceeded to tell me that my Estee foundation was actually quite a few shades dark than my actual skin, I became so used to it and never seemed to notice. 


While it's only been a few days since I have switched, I can already see a huge difference in my skin. Tarte doesn't have any harsh chemicals in it like Estee does, which is great for your skin. Estee was also an absolute pain to get off, I had to literally scrub my face (harshly) for it to come off, Tarte has been the complete opposite. Tarte's coverage is just about the same as Estee, it lasts me through a long day of classes. It's taking me a while to get used to the shade difference, I really am growing to love Tarte. My skin already feels and looks so much healthier! If that is what you are looking for in a foundation, I would definitely recommend Tarte.

Friday Five!


Happy Friday everyone! This summer is flying by, but I couldn't be happier that it's finally the weekend. It has been one crazy and hectic week. Here are a few things I have been loving lately:


one // Botched 
I cannot believe how addicted I have gotten to this show. Being a Real Housewives addict, I had to give it a try seeing as both of the doctors are OC & Beverly Hills (well, former) husbands! I definitely didn't think it'd become a favorite of mine whatsoever, but I can't get enough of it. If you're squeamish like myself, you may have to flip the channel a few times here and there but that has yet to pull me away from me. If you haven't given it a chance yet, I definitely would recommend it!! Watch it Sundays at 10PM on E!

two // Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara
This is hands down my holy grail mascara. I've never been to pay for high-end makeup, but I received this as in a Lilly Pulitzer Gift bag and I fell in love. This almost never clumps or dries out, it's absolutely worth the $27 (or something like that) a bottle! I highly recommend to definitely give it a try!

three // J.Crew Baseball Sweater
I picked up this beauty for $14 the other week during J.Crew's big Clear the Clearance Sale, and I have never been so obsessed with a sweater before. I've worn it at least four times in the last week (oops), it's so comfortable I don't want to take it off. It's extremely soft and cozy, I ordered it a size up so it would have an oversized fit. I cannot get enough!!

four // Essie Mod Square
This is definitely one of my favorite colors, it's all I've been wearing lately! I get tons of compliments whenever I wear it too. Essie's formula doesn't seem to have good consistency, but I'm so impressed with this color! Definitely recommend it!


five // Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
The holy grail of all sales. If you haven't checked out this sale... RUN, don't walk, to your nearest Nordstrom store or check it out at Nordstrom's website NOW. There are some great deals going on, and prices go up August 4th, so go grab these steals while you can! I have quite a few things on my list that I'll hopefully be getting my hands on in a few days (crossing my fingers they still have everything I want)!


What are some things you're loving this week?
