ESTĒE LAUDER ADVANCED NIGHT REPAIR EYE CONCENTRATE MATRIX {#TBT REVIEW}

Todays #TBT post dates back to February 2018 and gives you all the
info on the
 Estēe Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix
and it's still a product I highly recommend.
Many believe that an eye cream isn't so important and I beg to differ, as its
one of my most longest used products and I personally would never
advise the exclusion of an eye treatment in your daily beauty routine.


~~~~~~


 I generally only post a review once I've finished a product, 
but I'm breaking my own rule on this one and posting 
this review after four and half months of twice daily use.

I seem to have been using the 
Estēe Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix
 for what seems like an eternity and it's still going strong.

Having recommended previously that you buy skincare according to your budget,
there is one product that I advise stretching the budget for
and that's this anti-ageing eye treatment.
I personally have always focused on the maintenance of my eye area, 
as it really does give away your age and I just want to keep those 
signs of ageing at bay or minimised for as long as possible.




It's a "maze" out there, when it comes to Anti-Ageing
eye products, as we are spoilt for choice.
 For as long as I can remember though I've always used products for 
my eye area twice a day 
  and that's pretty much how I have been able to keep any deep lines
and wrinkles to a minimum and these are not to be confused with your 
natural expression lines around the hard working eye area.

The use of eye creams are on going, so get rid of the notion that a product
will "fix it all" in one jar, as that just doesn't happen. 
The sooner you start to incorporate an eye treatment into your daily regime
the better, but if you fall into that category of not having used, 
then don't despair.

If you're a mature woman or man (yes, men need to use eye products also 
and they don't have to be male specific)
it's not too late, however understand that damage has been done,
but in order to slow down the further appearance and soften those
existing lines and wrinkles I recommend that you initially splurge and bring 
in the "Big Guns" of the eye treatment world.

The hugely popular and iconic
 Estēe Lauder Advanced Night Repair Collection 
of products target and reduce the look of all the signs of ageing
for the face and eyes.
They have several targeted eye products in their
arsenal and their Eye Concentrate Matrix is one that I can highly 
recommend if you are wanting to seriously inject some "oomph"
into your eye care routine.



The Estēe Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix
is one of those "Big Guns" to be used both night and day.
This serum will repair, fortify and hydrate the skin around the
delicate eye area, so it pretty much deals with the main areas
of concern for most of us.

Their ultra-nourishing, skin strengthening formula has an innovative 360° 
Matrix Technology that provides a cushion of plumping support 
to give eyes a fresh, “wide-open” look and I won't object to
that, as with age sadly our eye area, especially the eyelids become
 more droopy and gives the eye a more closed, tired appearance.
The addition of every skins friend - Hyaluronic Acid 2x Concentrated 
Infusion ensures that the skin remains hydrated for a full 24 hrs.



From the picture above you will see that this product comes with a
massaging applicator, but do yourself a favour and forget even trying to
attempt to massage the skin as EL suggest and just go straight to the
patting with the ring finger...

Using the massaging applicator, gently roll under each eye three times. 
Then massage in a 360° circle under the eye area and above the lid. 
Finish by patting with ring finger until absorbed.

The slightly opaque, cooling gel is easy to blend around the eye around and
feels comfortable and moisturising on the skin, without feeling heavy or
creating any puffiness, which some eye products can do.
It was a pleasure to use and offered a plumpness to the skin,
which in turn softens those lines, especially the deeper ones and gave
a more rested eye area.

I write a post about this Luxury Travel Case filled with EL goodies every year and each year they seem to somehow improve on it, which considering the Blockbuster has been around for 30 years or more is no mean feat.

ESTÉE LAUDER SUMPTUOUS EXTREME MASCARA {REVIEW}




I would hate to know how many mascara's I have used in my lifetime and being a mascara junkie it must run into hundreds.You will very rarely see me without a few coats of mascara, even when I exercise a waterproof one is applied.Over the years I have tried most brands out there, at one time or another, but the one brand that I have always enjoyed and are pretty much my "faves" are all the mascara's from Estée Lauder.
Which ones do I favour the most?
I actually enjoy them all and it all depends on what look I want to achieve, as this determines
which one I opt for.

I always go for a black colour ,but there was a time when blue mascara's were all the fashion,obviously I won't go there now!

Lauder have around 7 types of mascara to choose from depending on whether you want to make your lashes appear fuller, longer, intense or just give that false lash effect, which is what my review mascara is all about!


R310


The Sumptuous Extreme mascara acts like lash extensions multiplying and growing the look of lashes and is also fortified with conditioning Lash-Advancing Vitamin Complex.
It is also Opthamology and frgarance free.

The angled brush, which I have admit takes a little getting use to, and as I have made mention before, the brush "makes or breaks" a mascara for me and fortunately I soon mastered the angle brush head.The brush by the way is the Oversized BrushComber Extreme™ with two types of bristles-flexible fibers that carry maximum formula; solid fibers comb and separate 
for clump-free definition. I did find that it worked well with separating the lashes and 
avoiding those irritating clumps.

In order to achieve this volume, lift and curl for that audacious, false-lash effect the unique interlocking fibers build volume & length, hollow fibers create massive volume, without weight whilst the ball fibers fill in and fill out even the sparsest lashes.


I really enjoy using this mascara, but be aware that you do need to have a cotton bud close at hand to just remove any of the blobs that end up above and below your lash line. However it could be that my lashes are the cause or maybe I am just useless at applying mascara, 
despite this, the effect of thicker, curled lashes is well worth the time to do a little clean up.



The Sumptuos Extreme mascara is available in Extreme Black.
