Ok so Monday was my birthday (yes, I share a birthday with Harry Styles) and I want to talk about this particular present that I received, an Estée Lauder goodie box. I was given this by my Grandmother which was very surprising because we all know grandparents can be hit and miss when it comes to gift giving but this time I'm very impressed! I love the colour and texture of the box, I almost didn't want to get rid of it but I persevered, and then inside the box is a red case. The case itself will probably come in handy for toiletry storage and travel, economising and all, and it has lots of goodies inside.
Cosmetics wise, there are two palettes, one eye shadow and blush and the other bronzer, as well as a mascara, two lip-glosses, three lipsticks and a mascara. The lip products are mostly on the pink to neutral scale and they can also be worn more naturally with a lighter hand, the formula of the lipsticks is very long lasting and it didn't make my lips dry out. I've only tried the mascara once and I only applied one layer and it seemed to work quite nicely but I'll have to try it again before I know if I like it or not, I'm quite picky when it comes to my lashes. There was also a perfume and a bottle of eye makeup remover but I haven't tried those out yet so I can't judge them. I haven't tried the eye shadows but I did try the bronzer and it would be good for going out in the evening or something more formal because it's quite intense and has a sheen to it. There were also two skincare products, a night repair serum and a revitalizing supreme anti aging cream and I used them both last night and they felt very firming and hydrating on the skin so I'll keep using them until I get a feel for what they're like after a few weeks. I have to say, I wasn't expecting this and I'm pretty impressed with it, well done Nan!
