I'll be reviewing skincare products I've been doing repeat purchases.
We'll I'll probably do the ones I hate too, but let's focus on the ones I love.
Unpaid review, but if Estee Lauder wants to sponsor me I'll be more than happy lol.
I had been on a journey for good skin condition since I was young. I used to have excessively bad skin with constant acne and breakouts on daily basis. Think of a volcanic land. My face was worse.
I started using Estee Lauder back in 2012. I went to KL on a seminar and stayed in Traders near KLCC. So naturally, I went to KLCC before I went back home. I took train from KLCC, to KL Sentral to KLIA anyway. So Estee Lauder was having booth promotions at the concourse area. One of the promoter tested the ANR on the back of my hand and sprayed water on it afterwards. The way my skin absorbed the water amazed me. But I didn't buy the bottle right there and then.
I was a cheapskate. Plus I was only aiming for sample sheets. While I was amazed by the product, I wasn't amazed by the salesgirl. She's not exactly pushy, but why the angry face when I didn't buy the product. Sure, I wasted her time but wasn't it my rights to decide what I want? I don't like people telling what I need to do with my money.
I waited. I waited for sales and only bought the 50ml bottle about a month later in Penang. Thinking back, I didn't actually use any of the samples, so it was quite a waste. But satisfaction of getting my money's worth was hard to deny.
I use it after washing my face and toner. basically just half a pump and spread thinly all over the face. But I think it's fairly useless on its own. It opens up skin ability to absorb water, but if there's nothing moisturizing piled on top, there's no point.
My face feels sticky/hungry for water after application, so I mosturized afterwards. Nowadays I use Sana Hadanomy cream, but that product alone is for another entry. I typically only use this product at night, mix together with Lancome Genifique serum. I use only Lancome Genifique for day serum. My face is always supple and well moisturized the next day.
In short, great product. I use very little every time because I believe in consistent use instead of slathering an inch of product once a month. So a 50ml bottle actually last me almost a year. Fairly expensive at RM350/50ml, but don't forget to buy during sales. Price typically stays constant, but you'll get miniature size of other products. If you're shameless, don't forget to ask for free samples from the salesgirls.
If you're buying from AEON counter, don't forget to go during AEON member day to get back RM10 every RM100 you spend. If you're buying from Parkson, go on the last Friday of the month which is Bonuslink member day, 5x points, RM10 off per RM150 spent and at Seberang Jaya branch extra RM10 per RM100 spent at cosmetic counter.
I'm on my third bottle, and I'll probably run out of it in July. Yep, plan to repurchase. Hopefully I'll get RM50 parkson birthday voucher this year so I can save some money on this :)
