Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Shadow Creme in Gold Dust & Mochachino

Estee Lauder makes some great, reliable, products. I don't think they have the same allure as other mid-high end make up brands, but the quality is definitely there, and I bought two more cream shadows from their Double Wear range.



I have to say, the navy and gold colour scheme reminds me of old (military?) uniforms.




The shadows come in heavy glass jars with a screw top lid. I really like that the actual product sits quite high in the jars, and that they are filled right to the top. Most people, myself included, prefer to use fingers to apply these type of products, and this makes it so much easier.




There is a decent range of shades in the permanent collection, and, of course, I chose easy, wearable, colours for lazy days. Gold Dust is a warm gold with shimmer, Mochachino is a mushroom grey. They have a firm but creamy consistency, and apply without much effort on my part. Both colours last really well on my oily lids (can't comment on the 15-hour claim however) and they make a great substitute to primer when used underneath powder eye shadow. Highly recommended.
