I don't wear foundation anymore, but when I received the above sample card for Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation in my latest ULTA order I couldn't wait to swatch them out for you all. Estée Lauder claims that this foundation is long wearing, transfer resistant, and waterproof with a matte finish. One thing that I really like about Estée Lauder's offering right off the bat is that they have about forty-four shades of this foundation to choose from. What a range! 


The Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation Card includes Eight Samples


Now without further adieu, here are the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation swatches for:
  • 1C1 Cool Bone
  • 2N1 Desert Beige
  • 3N1 Ivory Beige
  • 4N1 Shell Beige
  • 5W1 Bronze
  • 6W1 Sandalwood
  • 7W1 Deep Spice
  • 8N1 Espresso

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation Water Test - Rinsed Under Hot Water


The Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation is truly full coverage and I was really impressed with it overall. To begin with, this foundation really stays put! I wanted to test the color transfer on a white t-shirt; so I placed a shirt over the swatches and rubbed it in to see if I could get a transfer. To my surprise, there was no residue remaining! I even wiped the cloth across my arm to see what would happen, and still no transfer!

Then I went to the kitchen sink and sprayed the swatches with hot water for about a minute to see if I could get them to budge. Still, NOTHING. This seems very promising to those with oily skin as the matte formula may be able to keep that oil at bay. I do want to note that the formula felt a bit dry on my arm after a while, so I do not think it would be very comfortable to wear for those whose skin leans dry. 

There are a few caveats though. The Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation formula dries pretty quickly so you do have to work fast when applying. In addition to this, I noticed that the coverage on the darker shades (7W1 Deep Spice and 8N1 Espresso, specifically) seemed to apply thinner than it's lighter counterparts. With that said, I still believe that this is a great foundation overall.


FINAL THOUGHTS


I have to say that the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation is a real work-horse, and it accomplishes all that it claims to do: It's long-wearing, transfer resistant, and waterproof. At $52 per ounce, I still don't believe that it will break the bank as a little really goes a long way. If you're someone like me who only wears makeup for special occasions, this foundation might be the one to have in your makeup arsenal (but, only if you have oily / combo-oily skin).

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation has about forty-two shades to choose from. While none of the shades above were really a great match for my NC37 skin tone, I do think that there might be a shade available out there for many of us.

Since I have combination-oily skin I'm always interested in trying new products to help minimize the visibility of my pores. There are now nose pore patches that utilize the tried and true hydrocolloid technology to help suck up sebaceous filaments from the nose. Enter: Peach Slices Nose Pore Patches.

Peach Slices Nose Pore Patches Review


INFO SHEET


Brand:  Peach Slices
Product:  Nose Pore Patches
Scent:  None
Price:  $9.99 per box (7 Patches)
Where to Buy:  AmazonULTA

I wish I had a story as to why I bought these, but I don't. I simply threw them in my cart because they were on sale. I do like the Biore Original Blackhead Remover Strips, but I felt that they can be damaging to the skin's moisture barrier if used too often (but they are highly effective!).  I have also used the Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Nose Pore Pimple Patches and they were okay... but these are cheaper.   

Peach Slices Nose Pore Patch has a better design compared to Mighty Patch


The concept for the Peach Slices Nose Pore Patches are exactly the same as Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Nose Pore Pimple Patches. It's a thinner hydrocolloid bandage that is shaped to fit your nose. If you're not familiar with hydrocolloid bandages, it's a type of first aid dressing that sticks to the skin and essentially absorbs moisture from a wound; or in this case the sebaceous filament from your nose. I do think that Peach Slices has a better overall patch design compared to Mighty Patch though, simply because you can peel it from the center making for easier application.


INGREDIENTS


There are no ingredients in the Peach Slices Nose Pore Patch other than Hydrocolloid. Hydrocolloid is typically made of gelatin, pectin, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose. This forms a gummy-feeling, breathable adhesive bandage that absorbs moisture when it comes in contact with wound exudate. These ingredients themselves should not directly cause any acne or irritation to the skin, however the act of removing the bandage can be somewhat painful and bothersome.


BEFORE AND AFTER

I guess I'm not going out for a while.

My nose looks worse lol.


The instructions for the Peach Slices Nose Pore Patches say to thoroughly cleanse and exfoliate the nose for best results; which is what I did. I waited about an hour after my shower to ensure that my nose was fully dry before applying. It also says to wear it for six to eight hours so I left it on overnight. At first it was a bit annoying to wear, but it didn't prevent me from falling asleep.

When I woke up in the morning, I couldn't wait to get this thing off my face. It just felt annoying leaving it on for so long. I slowly peeled the Peach Slices Nose Pore Patch off of my face, which was not as painful as the Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Nose Pore Pimple Patches but I wish I could say that the results were better.  It left noticeable wrinkles all around my nose which took over an hour to dissipate. I guess I'm not going anywhere for a while. It also didn't get my sebaceous filaments to absorb into the patch. They were indeed brought to the surface and made them much more noticeable. I'm sure if you followed up with an innisfree Pore Clearing Clay Mask it would clear it all up, but I don't have time for this nonsense.


FINAL THOUGHTS


I will not buy these again. Oh my goodness who has the time to wear a nose patch for six to eight hours, somewhat painful removal, and then wait for the marks to fade off of your nose; only to then be left with pores that are even more noticeable? Sorry but the Peach Slices Nose Pore Patches are just not for me.

I hate writing negative reviews, but I also don't want my readers to waste their money. Just give me a Biore Original Blackhead Remover Strip and let me move on with my life.
