Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Vitality Energy Lotion Intense Moist Review

WHAT IS IT: Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Vitality Energy Lotion Intense Moist

THE PRODUCT(S):

Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Vitality Energy Lotion Intense Moist: This high-performance, energizing treatment lotion with anti-oxidants deeply hydrates skin. Powered by our proprietary Pomegranate Nectar Infusion, this rich, cushioning lotion infuses skin with comforting moisture and energy for a look of radiant vitality.
See a new look of active, radiant health. Nutritious helps Detoxify irritants. Neutralize external irritants. Infuse skin with moisture and energy. It's a daily dose of powerful vita-nutrients for your skin. A total approach to beauty, powered by pomegranate.

It's a clear liquid with a serum-like texture that actually absorbs into the skin quite fast.

It spreads evenly over the skin without much spillage and I also realized that it gets absorbed quite well when massaged into the skin.
VERDICT: The scent is really wonderful because it smells like pomegranate, it's so "gentle" and "peaceful". Unlike most products that have this scent that wavers between weird and funny-smelling to somewhat okay, this product has that scent that makes your skin feel like it's being pampered like a baby from the outside to the inside. At first sniff, it seemed a little heavy, but it gradually became a much comfortable and lighter scent after a few sniffs. Besides, the scent of pomegranate is quite decently strong here, so all I'm actually getting is mostly pomegranate instead of other chemical scents associated with beauty products.
The consistency is a little towards "syrup-like" and it does feel a little heavy due to the consistency of the product, which I presume should be geared towards users who have dry skin instead of oily or combination although the product explanation on their website insists that it's suitable for all skin types. However, I personally felt that it absorbs rather well into my skin with just gentle massaging, instead of the usual rubbing method. You can instantly feel that your skin is hydrated and moisturized upon application. And I like how it doesn't leave this greasy and oily after-texture hours after application.
As I personally tend to overslept a little before I wake up for work, I won't have enough time to actually go through a proper skincare regime prior to stepping out of the house. So, a small bottle (a sample bottle actually ^^;) is still essential for me to apply onto my skin after I reached my workplace but before I start work. And I would say, it is rather decent to have my skin feel hydrated, nourished and moisturized before slapping a light layer of makeup on.
We all know how skin looks like a few hours after you slapped on makeup, whether it's heavy or light. Right on top of that layer of makeup on your face, you can tell whether the product is good or not or whether you did or did not apply moisturizer prior to applying makeup. A few hours after I started work, sometime around my break-time, I noticed that my skin (with a light layer of makeup on) didn't look so bad. Normally, my entire face would look as if I went through a heavy and intense round of facial exercise and although you can still see that thin layer of makeup on my face, it is also at the same time "infused" with a layer of facial sebum that has gone out of control.
But not when I apply this Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Vitality Energy Lotion Intense Moist prior to applying makeup. There are still oily spots on certain areas of my face, especially the T-zone, but the most suffered zone around my actual T-zone area is only limited to my nose. My forehead and chin doesn't look overly shiny and glossy from the sebum and a facial blotter on my nose actually helped return the "look" of my nose area to matte in just a few pats. Sure, I did re-apply foundation powder to my face, but instead of the entire face, it's mostly just a pat here and a pat there gently instead of full-out facial coverage with powder.
And at the end of the day when I removed my makeup, I also realized that my skin doesn't feel too dry after the makeup itself is removed. Normally, your face will tend to feel a little squeaky dry to the touch after removing your makeup at the end of the day, despite applying moisturizer, but not with this product. On the contrary, I think it's because the product itself not only promised, but also deliver what it claims too. Although my manager is more happy to say, "Because it's expensive, so it works lah!"
VERDICT: ✓✓✓
WHAT I THINK: This is one of those products I would gladly splurge money on as the sample itself promised and delivers. And I like that pomegranate scent, it's not too heavy for my nose and best of all, I don't feel giddy nor nauseous from the product scent.
WHERE TO REDEEM SAMPLE: You can try asking for a sample of this product at any Estee Lauder outlets throughout Singapore. As I normally don't ask for old product samples, I can't exactly tell you whether they would still have sample stocks left for this product, so good luck :) But I still greatly recommend getting the sample to give this a try, as it does works for me.
