SO lets get into it!!! This is what Benefit  claim about the product off their  website ...

  Finally my (long awaited, or not depending on you) Esteé Lauder Double Wear foundation! So like normal I'll show you what the claims of the foundation are and the my experience with it along with some photos! The foundation claims from their website ( http://www.esteelauder.co.uk/product/631/3894/product-catalog/makeup/double-wear/stay-in-place-makeup-spf-10#/shade/1C0-Shell ) This worry-free, long-wearing makeup stays fresh and looks natural through heat, humidity and nonstop activity. It feels lightweight and comfortable and won't change colour, smudge or come off on clothes. Now the flawless look you see in the morning is the look you keep all day.  ** straight from the page itself** Now here's for the real deal.

Heart Of Darkness - Joesph Conrad Genre: Novella Pages: 72 Rating: 2/5 Format: Messy _______________________________________________________________________________ Do not be deceived by the length of this book, despite its mere 72 pages it has taken me over a week to get to where I am at  (I managed to get to just over 1/2). I feel like this story has so much going for it, reading the overviews and summaries online I was really intrigued but the way that Conrad has chosen to write this ruins it  for me. Following the lecture that I just had on this, I definitely feel that this is almost biographical of Conrad's own experiences, using this reading it is understandable why the format is so messy. It can be suggested that his language use is there to accurately represent the events of the novella. If you are someone that likes the more challenging reads than this is definitely for you, I just could not get to grips with his modernist style. I l...

I'll start off with the claims from the website:  http://www.clinique.co.uk/product/1599/52574/makeup/foundations/even-better-glowtm-light-reflecting-makeup-spf-15 Benefits: Even Skin Tone, Natural skin-perfecting look,SPF Skin Types: Works for all skin types.
