Hello My Lovelies,
I hope you are all doing well and you have had a wonderful bank holiday weekend so far. I thought today I would share one of my first beauty posts in collaboration with House of Fraser since winning the Beauty Ambassador competition. I will be posting more about everything soon, however, I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported me and congratulated me - it really means so much to me and sometimes I struggle to find the words to show how grateful I am. So, I thought today I would bring you a review of the current House of Fraser Gift with Purchase and also a cheeky little giveaway for you all.
The Gift with Purchase is definitely one of the most eye-catching sets I have seen from Estée Lauder for a little while - I mean how gorgeous is this unique print?! The set includes a gorgeous 'Opening Ceremony' limited edition cosmetic pouch which is full to the rim of Deluxe Estée Lauder samples. Admittedly, I am a complete newbie when it comes to Estée Lauder skincare so I was over the moon when I found out about this set. If only I had know about this Gift with Purchase a few weeks ago! I literally just made a little splurge at one of my local Estée Lauder counters - I mean who doesn't love a good ol' gift with purchase?! The promotion will be running until the 5th September so if you fancy picking up one of these exclusive sets I would suggest you head on over to House of Fraser as soon as possible - there is limited stock! To qualify for one of these gift sets, you would need to purchase two or more Estée Lauder products (one of those having to be a foundation or skincare product). Full T&C's can be found here.
What do you get inside the cosmetic pouch? First up we have two product from the Advanced Night Repair line. The Advanced Night Repair Synchronised Recovery Complex II helps you to wake up to a more beautiful looking skin on a daily basis. It targets the look of all key signs to ageing and exclusive ChronoluxCB Technology to help skin's natural nightly renewal. This is a product that I have wanted to try for the longest time and I am so glad that I now have a sample in my collection. The second product from the line is the Advanced Night Repair Eye Sync Complex II which is an incredibly innovative hydrating eye cream that works similar to the serum. It maximizes the power of the night to re-ignite the vital, youthful-looking light that can fade due to fatigue, pollution and age. Being in my early twenties now I think you can never start soon enough when it comes to anti-aging products. I am going to enjoy incorporating this into my evening skincare routine and look forward to seeing how it works for my skin. The Advanced Night Repair line from Estée Lauder is not cheap so I was pleasantly surprised to see some really generous samples including within the offer - you can definitely get a few weeks wear out of these which is plenty of time to see how they work with you skin.
Next we have another two skincare products. Firstly, the Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Creme which sounds absolutely incredible. This is a high-performance, multi-action creme that anticipates and responds to skin's changing needs - it's like magic in a tub! According to Estée Lauder, it helps significantly reduce the appearance of multiple signs of ageing lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, dullness, dehydration - all with the IntuiGen™ Technology. Secondly, we have the Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Foam Cleanser which treats your skin to a refreshing foam that cleanses gently yet thoroughly. The formulation consists of a proprietary technology, this is a creamy formula that rapidly lathers into a rich foam that works for all skin types. You can use this product two different ways. One, as a morning and evening daily cleanser or two, twice a week as a 3-minute purifying mask. I haven't given this product a proper try as yet but I am already sold and I am looking forward to giving this a try!
Now, there are two gorgeous makeup products within the gift set. Firstly, we have a beautiful Pure Color Gloss in #9 Rock Candy. When I first set my eyes on this lipgloss I just knew Iw as going to love it - I mean just look at that gorgeous pink shade. I absolutely love Estee Lauder lip products because they always have a creamy smooth consistency that glides onto your lips like a dream, they also hydrate and can instantly transform your lips. Also, all of their lip products have this gorgeous sugar sweet scent that I absolutely adore. Secondly, we have this fast-drying and long-wearing Pure color Nail Lacquer in So Vain. This is not my typical go-to shade when it comes to my nails, but I am surprised at how much I really like it. You can turn your fingertips into a fashion statement with a wardrobe of sensational shades to choose from. So Vain is a gorgeous taupe nude with a slight shimmery tone to it - when I saw this shade it reminded me of something Kylie Jenner would be sporting. Finally, the set includes a Lips to Envy 3-Minute Beauty Techniques card with samples of their Double Wear Concealer (Light/Medium) and three shades of the Pure color Envy Lipsticks (Intense Nude, Powerful and Envious). I have received samples like this in the past and I have to say I really do enjoy them. They are a great way to see which shade of lipstick you prefer and so on. Additionally, this set comes with a 2-step 2-Minute masterclass on how to achieve a lip look using a combination of the products in the card.
Overall, I think this is a wonderful offer and if you are considering making an Estée Lauder purchase soon then this would be the perfect time as you would be receiving an additional gift with purchase!
