Sachet Training #2 Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint Beige 02

Today I decided to give my face a bit of a breather. I soaked it in the last of my Night in Shining Armour by Soap & Glory overnight. It has such a truly sumptuous and luxurious scent to it. (Again with the witty name; always a sucker for a witty name!) I mentioned it in my first ever blog. You can't go without a night cream; it provides an ultimate base, before you even mention primers and BB creams.

Well it just wouldn't be Soap & Glory without its trademark wit and retro packaging.I'm considering a change for my next skincare staple, it feels as if my skin is getting used to this one, and sometimes my face can feel rather oily in the morning.

Liz Earle's Sheer Skin Tint 02 Beige

I haven't tried Liz Earle before but I was lucky enough to get a few samples from a friend. I feel I am making a more informed choice about products since joining the blogosphere and people RAVE ABOUT THIS STUFF! Well lots of people are posting stuff as she appears to have an advent calendar, I've been distracted by TattooedTeaLady's Liz Earle's Advent Calendar. (You can click here to see her post of the first week's goodies!)

I always opt for the warmer shade to my skintone. I can be drastically pale but I prefer to have a honeyed glow. In this case it was beige 02 as it said it would suit most caucasian skin tones. I'm not sure the inside of my wrist is the closest colour to my face but here is a swatch!

I was surprised at the amount of coverage it gave from such a frugal droplet. I found it quite difficult to spread as the formula is quite thick. I loved the feel of it on my skin, it was refreshing, but nowhere near light weight. Disappointed slightly, I dabbed dots all over my face and tried to stretch them together. I found it difficult to blend, it took a whole lot longer than usual. 

After it had settled in I felt it gave long lasting coverage as this photo was taken after several hours wear, and the thick balmy consistency tricked my mind into believing my skin, albeit briefly, could face the cold wind for a few hours. 

It was nice for a day off foundation, but I'm sure I'd end up using too much product if I bought a whole tube. The sachet training has paid off.
