Oh boy. Looking at Estée Lauder 2014 Holiday Collection brings back a lot of memories where I was a stalker at Estée Lauder Facebook page trying to get the first hand news on the Christmas set 😀 . My favourite will always be the yearly Blockbuster set whereas you only need to spend RM200 to purchase the set for RM250 that are full with all sorts of goodies worth RM1,920! Before I show you this year’s Blockbuster Set, let’s take a look at Estée Lauder’s holiday collection for 2014 shall we? This year is not as complicated as previous years in my opinion. Previously there was one or two sets that are only available under Purchase With Purchase (PWP) term, such as the Michael Kors set. This year, all the set are pretty straight forward and useful although I do missed the limited edition pouches. It’s a good thing I bought a few of previous collection to stock up 🙂

Estée Lauder understands every woman has her own unique approach to beauty. In fact, Estée Lauder uncovered that there is a specific modern woman looking for a simplistic approach to beauty, such as advanced multi-tasking creme to anticipate the skin’s changing needs. Inspired by these findings and by cutting-edge cellular research, Estée Lauder introduces its first global anti- aging creme – a breakthrough, high-performance, multi-action creme so extraordinary, it can only be called NEW Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Créme.
As skin ages, it begins to feel dry, losing its youthful radiance, and its needs are constantly changing. By reactivating skin’s natural ability to look younger, Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Créme anticipates and responds to skin’s changing needs, delivering advanced science, nutrients and moisture deep within skin’s surface to help delay the look of signs of aging.
Toner, or some company refer as lotion is generally used after cleansing but before applying moisturizer. This step is crucial as it act as a bridge between the cleanser and moisturizer. Many would skip this step thinking it is unnecessary or not important, just like how some people would skip eye cream, which they deemed as unimportant as well. I was one of the many a few years ago. I would skip toner but not my eye cream because I learnt about a simple fact on using a proper eye cream than relying on face moisturizer as an eye cream. Anyhow that is a totally different topic 😀
Today I’m going to talk about the basic of skin toner. I’m not going into extreme detail i.e. astringents, floral water, fresheners, herbal toner and so on. I’m going to cover the few different types of toner in basic. This is what you should know at least. I remember a few years ago I would skip toner because no BA would tell me toner is equally important in a skin care regime. They would tell me I can skip it as it doesn’t do anything to the skin. There are so many different types of toner or lotion available in the market. Do you know which one you need?
I have a weakness with everything related to beauty and fragrance is definitely one of it. Just a few days ago, Estée Lauder Malaysia invited me over for a press presentation of their latest and exciting new fragrance, Modern Muse. As I walk out of the lift, I caught a sniff of Modern Muse even when I was just a few feet away from the venue. First impression? I am already liking the feminine, sophisticated, floral scent that my nose picked up.
Estée Lauder Modern Muse is the first major fragrance launch in the last decade. The fragrance is inspired by today’s woman and their intriguing duality. Estée Lauder describe Modern Muse as a symbolise of strong, independent, inspiring and confident women of today. She, who possesses natural magnetism, memorable, always full with force of create energy and a true inspiration role model to others.
That’s right. The Estée Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara is my absolute current favourite mascara at the moment. I have bought and tried a number of mascara lately but I haven’t found any oil-proof mascara except this one. I have this since mid 2012 sitting in my drawer without me even realising that this is truly an under-estimated hidden gem.
I have thought of not reviewing this because this mascara is from 2011 Holiday Set and I assume it’s a limited edition mascara that is not available at counter. I did a quick search online at Estée Lauder Malaysia website and you know what? This is a permanent mascara!
I mentioned before last week that Estée Lauder Malaysia is having a busy April because they are launching three new makeup and skin care product range altogether. I have introduced to you the NEW Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Shine Sculpting Lipstick last week, which I’m currently head over heels in love with. I’m not saying that because they sent me a lipstick. I’m saying that because it is in fact the best lipstick formula at the moment. Just read all the positive reviews online and you’ll understand why 😀 . Even better if you tried it on your lips over Estée Lauder counter.
Today, I’m going to introduce you to another new makeup launch from Double Wear range. Estée Lauder Double Wear Brush-On Glow BB Highlighter is the second new launch product that caught my attention almost immediately because it is similar to Ideal Light Brush-On Illuminator that I’m currently using. We’ll get to that soon.
Estée Lauder’s best long wearing liquid foundation by far is still Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup. It is great for oily skin like mine and I believe if you have used this foundation before you will agree with me. The brand do take Double Wear’s iconic perfecting and long-wear benefits seriously so they have created and came up with two new makeup product by coupling them with new instant radiance and skin care ingredients – NEW Double Wear All-Day Glow BB Moisture Makeup SPF 30 +++ and NEW Double Wear Brush-On-Glow BB Highlighter.
