REVIEW: ESTEE LAUDER ADVANCED NIGHT REPAIR EYE SYNCHRONIZED COMPLEX



I've had a couple of these little sample pots of Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex knocking around my stash for months and months now. They're common free-gift-with-purchase fodder when it comes to Estee Lauder freebies. Having suffered such a strange reaction to the Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream, and having never used this eye gel for a continued period before, I was reluctant to see what would happen. I gave it a go anyway and I'm really glad that I did.


This is a gel more than a cream. It isn't fragranced and sinks in very quickly when patted onto the brow bone and under the eye (I never put a product like this directly onto the lids of my eyes). It's quite cooling - even more so if kept in the fridge so that it de-puffs my eye-bags first thing in the morning. 


I have definitely noticed an improvement in my eye area over the course of using this (roughly 10 days so far). It's brightened and lifted any uneven skin tone around my eyes. It also seems to have stopped my eyes from feeling dry, especially recently with all of the blustery weather the UK has been enduring recently.


I really like it but would I recommend it? The RRP is £37.00 for 15ml which is very expensive... I would say take advantage of the FGWP offers when they're available and get this as an added extra. Even though it's meant to be used day and night a little goes a long long way and I can't see myself running out of this any time soon - at least not until my next bout of Estee Lauder purchases.


Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex is available at Estee Lauder counters across the UK and online.

VIDEO: BIRTHDAY HAUL

Hello everyone!


I disappeared for a few days, didn't I? I just didn't have the time to blog this week unfortunately! It was my birthday on Wednesday and the day before that I was running about like a headless chicken trying to get everything sorted. I don't have much of an excuse because I could have scheduled some things in but I simply haven't been able to write.


My birthday was great (apart from a little cry when I thought my brothers had completely forgotten what day it was - and two still haven't been in contact at all yet!) and now I am enjoying a relaxing day off, playing with all of my new things and have been filming a YouTube video where I can show you all what I have received! I have been very spoiled and I am very appreciative to everyone that wished me a Happy Birthday on Twitter too! You were all so lovely and made my day so thank you very much!


This video is something silly like 30 minutes long because I've rambled on and on... Watch for the postman too! He manages to frighten the life out of me! I suggest you skip through anything you find boring... I bored myself watching it back so I won't be offended!





Anyway the normal posting schedule is now in place again so I will see you all tomorrow for some more reviews and general chit chat!
