Estee Lauder Illuminating Serum

WOW this serum was amazing!! I first received it as a gift last christmas and it lasted about 5 months. I loved it so much that I purchased it as a treat, but it is expensive. It does what it says it does and after you apply it your face feels silky and amazing. I used it mainly at night but sometimes in the morning and noticed that my make up would sit beautifully. No other product has ever left my face feeling the way this one does....if I could afford it I would use the whole range <3

This is a product I got free in a gift with purchase special when I brought some Estée Lauder products.

First of all, I love Estée Lauder skincare and makeup, but they come with a huge price tag!

This serum is very moisturising and leaves your skin very soft and tends to even out your skin tone. It's great, but nothing hugely different than what their normal moisturiser (hydrationist moisture creme) does

I'm glad I have a few mini bottles of this left, as the full sized bottle is quite unaffordable at the moment!

I have been using this for awhile and have seen a difference in the way my pours on my nose look smaller. Not that much to justify the price tho. very nice product tho

I have Illuminator Envy. I got given some trial sachets (each one lasts 3-4 days as you don't need a lot). Skin feels silky and soft with a lovely golden glow. Yes, Estee Lauder is very pricey but I think I just have to have this one!

I would use it every day. It is awesome with a capital O. I save my pennies occasionally and give myself a treat (and I always look out for when they are offering free samples) Works a treat, makes my old skin feel marvelous, and I think it takes a few years off too

Haha my mum has this and the night repair ,and they are both so good . When I'm feeling a little run down these always do the trick for me. Only issue is they cost so bloody much! I have however received the samples of these in the Estée Lauder gift bags you get occasionally for spending a certain amount :) which do last ageees :) x

I tried a small sample and omg it burnt like a bugger it made my face red and break out in little red bump turns out my skin was to sensitive

I love Estee Lauder products, and am a big fan of their ANR range and Day Wear moisturiser. I had a sample of this which gave me use for a couple of weeks. It's a light formula and doesn't seem to have any scent at all. I didn't feel like it did a lot (through granted sometimes you need ot use it for a long time, I know). But the main reason i wasn't a fan was because of all the glittery particles it in.. it's a bit too intense on the sparkles. Surely that can't be good for your skin? I felt like this was average. If I had it, I would use it, but I wouldn't spend money on buying it :) I think there are far superior EL products you could spend your money on (ANR !)

This bottle of magic has become an important part of a daily routine. I never really bought into the expensive moisturizer fuss until an Estee rep promised I wouldn't look back after trying this. I've always had sensitive skin, and this product ensures I have an amazing base for makeup and before bed sinks deep down for the ultimate night repair

Every time I give this serum another go, I break out. It's strange as I have used many, many EL products and I've never had a problem. I think this is only 'illuminating' due to the glittery bits in the serum. The texture is a bit strange and has a weird finish once it dries on my skin. I'm not sure if it actually 'does' anything.
