Since I missed out on ordering the Estee Lauder Pure Color Intense Kajal Eyeliner in Electric Teal, when I saw the Pure Color Intense Kajal Eye Crayon in Dramatic Teal, I pre-ordered it via Estee Lauder’s site and got free shipping on it. It was $22.

At the insistence of Grey (and all the praising of Double Wear & DW Light that she & Ana have done), I went to the Estee Lauder counter to get matched. I explained to the lady working there that I have a strong pink overtone that I prefer neutralized, and that I have neutral undertones. She applied some Double Wear Light in Intensity 1, and had me go outside to look with a mirror. I wish I’d brought my camera because I always take pictures of me in foundations with no flash in direct sunlight. While inside, it looked like it was too dark, and outside it still looked a bit dark. There was a noticeable line from my face to my neck. So she wiped that off and noted that when she rubbed my face it got red(aka the pink overtone saying hi!), and I said yes, that happens whenever I cleanse. She next tried the original Double Wear in Shell. When I heard the name I thought shell pink, but figured since I’d clearly stated that my undertones are neutral and I do NOT want to accentuate the pink overtone, she wouldn’t put me in a cool foundation. I was incorrect. She did give me a sample of the Shell to take home and try. I think it’s a touch too pink, so I’m going to head back tomorrow and get a sample of Ecru, which is the lightest neutral in that foundation type.

However, I did pick up the Gold Bronze ShadowStick pencil, and I also picked up an eye cream that Grey said was simply amazing – the Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Eye Cream. As I was at Belk’s department store, they told me that if I didn’t like the eye cream, I could simply return it for a refund. They don’t do samples on skincare products there. I figured if I could return it, then it wouldn’t hurt to try it.

Because I purchased those two things, I got 2 gifts with purchase. I walked out of there with way more than I expected.

I don’t know that I’ve ever really purchased anything from Estee Lauder, though I keep planning on going to see if I can get matched in the Double Wear because of Grey & Ana’s many ravings on the foundation line. I saw this Shadestick duo and just HAD to have it for the pink side. The teal is a green-based teal, and while it’s pretty, I prefer my teals to be blue-based. The pink, however, is OMFG awesome! It’s a peachy-pink-gold, and PERFECT for summer. I’ve had this swatched on the back of my hand since it got here and it’s not budged at all.
