I was very lucky to be picked by BR to review this product. Boy was i one happy girl when this arrived.. This is the first high end skin care i have ever tried and it didn't disappoint. The packaging is very simple, red tub with silver writing and lid. On the back of the bottle it tells you to " Apply AM and PM". I always washed my makeup off then applied the lotion first then this creme. This defiantly kept my skin hydrated, its quite a thick consistency. This left my face looking like it had a glow if i didn't wear foundation. My skin in winter can get really flaky and dry, i found this creme and the lotion really helped and my foundation went on smoother because of it! If you have dry skin i highly recommend buying this.

Tips: Apply lotion first then this creme
I was very happy with the way the Estée Lauder nutritious radiant energy gel emulsion worked for me. Packaged in a simple and classy, red glass-like container with a silver screw cap, this moisturising gel does exactly what it says it will. The formula is a lovely lightweight, non-greasy texture with a really pleasant floral/fruity scent which I loved. The gel applied really nicely to just-cleansed skin, giving a boost of hydration to make the skin feel thoroughly moisturised. My favourite thing about the gel is that it didn’t leave any greasy residue on my skin as it all soaked in and plumped up the skin. I missed applying this one night and in the morning I noticed a difference in my skin, which proved to me how well it works for me. A little product seems to go a long way so I feel that the amount of product in the jar will last a good month or two. This product definitely isn’t the cheapest on the market, but it is a higher end brand and I feel it is well worth the investment and I would definitely repurchase in the future.
I was really pleased to get to review the Nutritious Radiant Energy Water Gel Creme. My skin is dry so I'm always looking for ways to combat that.
The consistency, like the names says, is a combination of a cream and a gel, I really enjoy using this product, it instantly feels hydrating and feels like you're giving your skin a bit of a treat. After a big night out (and having to wash my face with motel shampoo) my skin was feeling tight and dehydrated, this instantly picked my skin up and made me feel alive again! It wears well underneath foundation, gives the skin a nice base and isnt greasy at all. The effects are quite long-lasting, I can apply this at night and not feel super dry in the morning.
The packaging is quite luxe looking as to be expected from Estee, the cream has a slight sort of citrus scent which I enjoyed and didnt find to be irritating at all either. It is priced a bit higher than what I would usually buy, and after 2 weeks I have used about a third of the product.
Tips: I used this product alongside the Radiant Vitality Energy Lotion.
To start off, my skin is relatively (imo) normal and only really occasionally has the dry patch or two. So, those two patches are my current pests. I'm happy to say that after using this for two weeks in conjunction with the Lotion Fresh Moist, it has actually disappeared! I have also noticed that my skin POSSIBLY may be more 'bouncy' and soft (especially right after application!!) from using this (and the lotion) morning and night for the past two weeks... I really enjoyed using this! I loved the light water gel creme texture of this product. Prior to this, I preferred using another similar product that was also similar in consistency. I was actually afraid that I'd have trouble writing the review but... truthfully, I loved everything about it! Although I can only really confidently tell you that it definitely does one of the three claims, I did also love the super fruity scent, texture and the pretty quick absorption. If you were only using the water gel creme, you'd probably be ok and don't have to wait probably half a minute before using the next step. That was probably the only concern, although I thought it was something they said (fast absorping) but, actually no so, just something to be aware of. The product is easy to use and smells amazing. I loved it. this product may not be suitable for people who don't enjoy heavy scents in their skincare. Although, I found the scent to be light but at the same time it is most definitely there when applying the product.
Tips: Apply with fingers and about a quick swipe with a finger or two is enough for each application (i.e. cheek, forehead, chin etc)
This was a really nice moisturiser, which I used as a day cream. The consistency is what you would expect from a moisturiser that isn’t too thick, but thick enough to be easy to apply and have a good amount of substance to it. I have very oily-combination skin, so I’m always nervous when using new moisturisers, however I found this hydrating throughout the day and that it was quite effective at keeping my oiliness at bay. I haven’t had the chance to see long-term effects yet, however I find that on days when I use this product my skin is more hydrated and looks more radiant. It has a very slight (but pleasant) pomegranate scent which is really nice and not at all overpowering. The jar format probably isn’t my favourite for a daily moisturiser, and the packaging is quite large and takes up quite a lot of counter space, so while its quite pretty I would probably prefer a tube or pump packaging. Apart from my small packaging niggle, I really enjoy this moisturiser and would definitely recommend!
Tips: I like to use this with a small skincare spatula to limit how many times I’m dipping my fingers into the product!
This gel emulsion is a bit of luxury in a jar. It is light and fruity and is absorbed well by the skin- perfect for those times when you're looking for something that won't weigh heavily on your skin. The consistency is great- not greasy, and won't pill under other products. It's obvious that the formula has been consciously crafted.
I like that this product is gel-based as it fits nicely into my day or night time skincare routine. During the day, it works well before SPF, at night, it serves as a base layer for the heavier night creme that follows.
The fragrance is pleasant, and not overbearing; it definitely brings the fruity scent of pomegranates. I do find scented skin creams unnecessary and wouldn't have been disappointed if this had no scent at all.
If you can afford it, this is a nice moisturiser to use. However, the RRP is not within my price range and I think you can get a lot more bang for your buck elsewhere- even from supermarket-stocked skincare ranges. I will enjoy this while it lasts and will not be repurchasing myself. With the Christmas season firmly on the horizon, this gel would make an excellent gift for that person in your life who needs encouragement to enjoy a moment of luxury and indulgence.
Tips: Use this as an early step in a skin care routine, or just on those days where you don't need too much.
I have really enjoyed using this product over the last week and a half!
First things first, scent is something that has become very important to me lately regarding skin care products, and I absolutely adore the scent of this! It has a strong fruity scent, without being overpowering and I loved applying it.
I have skin more on the drier side and sometimes struggle to find moisturisers that make my skin feel hydrated without feeling heavy, but this is one of them. I feel like as soon as I apply it, my skin feels instantly ten times better, feeling more hydrated and fresh. It's easy to rub in and soaks in quickly. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin and feels smooth without feeling oily or greasy. My makeup applies nicely onto it, it hasn't made me break out and I have no complaints at all about this product.
I have been using this product as well as the lotion from the duo, and while I liked them both, definitely think this works well as a stand-alone product.
Tips: Love the scent!
A $112 moisturiser. Just let that soak in for a few minutes. One hundred and twelve dollars.
When I first received it I'd never felt so overwhelmed and underwhelmed at once. LAUDER. I am going to be using Estee Lauder. The skincare of ladies. Proper ladies. Who shop at counters and don't ask 'how much is this?'. But then. Plastic. PLASTIC. $112 and the went for a plastic tub! Where's my hermetically sealed pump?! Now it is a thick, heavy pot but still...I was expecting more. There's also no indication if it's recyclable.
The instructions are simply 'apply am/pm'. Cheers for that EL! And very interesting - it'll last for 24 months from opening. As this is a wide open pot, I assume there's a fair few preservatives in it to counteract the exposure to air. But that doesn't bother me too much. Something to note if it does concern you.
It smells gorgeous. Fruity fresh. Delicious. The smell doesn't linger, so if fragrance bothers you, but doesn't irritate you, I think you'd still enjoy this.
The cream is white and quite thick. It's not heavy though. It absorbs instantly, my skin just drank this up! You don't need much, but I don't think I'll need to worry about using this up in the next 2 years! Potentially there's 2 months worth here.
I'm so torn on this product. It's fantastic. It's hydrating, its moisturising, its a sheer delight to use. Morning or night it injects moisture. After a couple of weeks use my skin is smoother and more even. I just can't get over the price tag!
So did it do what it said? YES! My skin is radiant. So radiant. Would I recommend it to a (rich) friend? YES! 100%. I can't not recommend the product because it totally does what it says. Would I use it again? YES! If I won the lottery.
Firstly, love the packaging the resembles the pomegranate ingredient. It isn't cheap feeling. I would say the consistency is more of a cream than a gel though. I used this after the lotion and a little product definitely goes a long way. I would apply am and pm and my skin in the morning would feel very soft and look glowy. I would say the product definitely works wonders and I will continue to use in hand with the lotion. I suffer with dry skin on my nose and although it's still there it's definitely better. It also smells very subtlety fruity which is an added bonus!
I use this product as a night mask - very light on the skin but very moisturising; my face feels smoother and soft the following morning. I have not experienced skin breakouts upon using the product. I noticed my face looked youthful and glowing upon using this product for a few days. I wish the packaging came with a mini scoop for hygienic purposes but overall this product is amazing and I highly recommend it.
