Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Vitality Energy Lotion

I really enjoyed this product! It’s a relatively watery product (slightly thicker than water or a toning product) and I found it to be quite easy to apply. It says that you can use this with a cotton pad, however I found that spashing a little into clean hands before applying directly to my face worked a little more effectively and wasted less product. While not quite long enough yet to say if the effects are long-lasting, I found that my skins was more hydrated throughout the day when I used this product before my moisturiser, and looked brighter even under make-up. This lotion was comfortable to wear under moisturiser and full make-up, and I didn’t notice that the extra step/hydration added any extra oiliness to my (very combo) skin. Overall I really enjoyed this lotion and would definitely recommend!

It's a toner. Why have they called it a lotion?!! I can't get over it. I think it twice a day when I use it.

This is a watery liquid. It smells as delicious as the moisture gel creme. So fresh and fruity - but if fragrances bother you, don't worry, the smell doesn't linger too long once applied.

I used this after cleansing, as I am set it is a toner. (!) The instructions on the bottle say 'apply am/pm with a cotton pad or fingertips'. You need a cotton pad - the product comes out so quickly if you try with finger tips you'll end up with spillage. Hold a cotton pad firmly a top the bottle, and quickly tip it upside down and back again. Voila.

I found this lovely and cooling, and it removed that tight after cleansing feeling. My skin was left feeling fresh and rejuvenating.

What I dislike about the product - the plastic bottle is cheapening, especially when we're talking about an $82 toner. And that. The $82 price tag.

So, much like the Moisture Cream from the same range - I would recommend it - it does what it says, and it does it well. But would I use it again? Maybe. If someone bought it for me as a present!

This product is definitely moisturising. I love how it feels on my skin every morning, it helps moisturise my dry skin on a difficult weather. I brought this product with me to the Philippines where I spent a few days holidaying the tropical country. It gives me a natural glow. The scent is tolerable (as I am not a big fan of fragrant essence and lotion). Yes, it may be quite pricey being a high-end cosmetic product but it delivers excellent quality. Estee Lauder never fails to amaze me.

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 bottle with silver writing and lid. On the bottom of the bottle it tells you to " pat on using fingertips or cotton pad, AM and PM. First night i decided to use my fingertips but found it quite awkward as it went every where so the following morning i used a cotton pad and that was so much easier and used a lot less product. This product reminds me a bit of the garnier micellar cleansing water in consistency and how you use it. I always washed my makeup off before applying this. This defiantly kept my skin hydrated, It was lightweight and refreshing. My skin in winter can get really flaky and dry, i found this lotion really helped and my foundation went on smoother because of it! If you have dry skin i highly recommend buying this.

I was very impressed with the Estée Lauder nutritious radiant vitality energy lotion, there is so much to love about it. Starting with the packaging; this range is packaged in a simple, yet classy red glass-like container with silver caps, to be expected of a higher end brand. This product is a liquid, so is in a bottle with a screw top lid. When you take the lid off there is a cap at the top of the bottle with a small hole in to allow just the right amount of product out at a time. Being a clear water like consistency, I applied the lotion using a cotton pad after washing my face. I was very impressed how fresh it made my skin feel as I applied it. It felt very cooling and made my skin feel even cleaner. I was impressed with how hydrating it was as it didn’t suck the moisture out of my face and make my skin dry out, as other products I have used in the past have done. The lotion has a very pleasant scent, almost florally, which for me is important if it is going on your face. The only downfall for me was that there were no directions or guidelines on the bottle so I had to search online to see exactly how to use it. But I imagine there would be directions on the box or outer packaging when purchasing. Overall I was very happy with how the lotion worked for my skin, I loved the clean and hydrated feeling my face had after application. I can’t fault the product at all. The price point is high, but consistent with the Estée Lauder brand, and I do think it is worth the investment for great skin. I would definitely consider repurchasing in the future.

So I recieved this product as part of a trial team (and am incredibly lucky!!!) and had to admit I was a bit baffled by how to use it. This my show my naivety when it comes to high end products but I spent far too long googling before seeing an instruction that I believe was on the base of the bottle, advising to spread it with hands or cloth. Asides from my blunder I really liked the smell, it is understated and refreshing with a faint pomegranate scent, but without leaving me smelling like product. A little goes a fairly long way and I was really surprised by how fresh my skin felt afterwards. I even used some on the rough patches on my triceps and was super pleased about how soft it felt.

It absorbs fairly quickly and has actually made me feel so happy with the glowing look that I've practically gone without foundation for the last two weeks. I'm also less concerned about this being 'overly moisturising' and leaving me with oily skin.

The only downside for me is the price - I don't know if I can justify the price tag.
