Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Mask Boost

I tend to use face masks much more in autumn/winter and this new mask coming from Estee Lauder in December is a welcome addition if you have a slightly older (35+), de-vitalised, 'my face looks how I feel' skin.

If you are a fan of the Triple Threat Facial, this would be the final step, after exfoliating and clay steps.

Super-nourishing, massively hydrating, this will become a 'when-in-doubt-grab-this' when my skin is tired and a tad dull or after a long week - especially if flying is involved. This would be the perfect in-flight mask. It absorbs like a rich face cream and although it says to tissue off (eew) after 5 minutes, I would use three ways:

1. apply in a thick-ish layer, leave for 10 or so minutes and take off any residue with a warm, squeezed out, damp washcloth, proceed with your other skincare
2. apply a thin layer in the evening when you get home, reapply before bed once it has absorbed, sleep in it
3. apply a thin layer every couple of hours on a long haul flight, misting with a floral spray in between

Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Mask Boost is available on 1st December and is priced £45 for 75ml from all Estee Lauder retailers and www.esteelauder.co.uk It's delicious.




Also: I do wish the NPD/Marketing teams at Lauder LLC/L'Oreal/P&G/Unilever/LVMH (all of them) etc would stop swallowing dictionaries and thesauruses when naming products. The names are taking me longer to type than the review.

David Kirsch's Perfect Shopping List

Regular readers will know that the brilliant David Kirsch is one of my clients. Next Monday David starts a new programme for Women's Health called 'Tone Every Zone'. 28 days of advice and blog posts on Women's Health US online.

I thought I'd mention it because to get everyone kick-started properly, David has compiled the perfect shopping list that I thought might prove useful as a checklist for your weekly shop....

Clarins and #FEED10 Gift with Purpose

Ah the good old GWP. The cornerstone of every 'mainstream' brand's budget. Gift with Purchase is as old as the hills. Gift with Purpose however, is something new.

Clarins have teamed up with the FEED Projects who provide nutritious meals for schoolchildren in developing countries and are aiming to raise an additional 1 million meals with their GWP. For every 2 purchases you make at a Clarins counter you will receive the above bag - and they will donate 10 meals to the project. Seems fairly win-win to me.

Also - the difference between Clarins and a lot of other brands that do gifts? Clarins actually give you things you would use. No overstocks-from-last-season here.

The Clarins FEED 10 bag contains discovery (bigger) sizes of:

Moisture Rich Body Lotion 

Relax Bath & Shower Concentrate

and trial sizes of 

Hand and Nail Treatment Cream

Hydra Quench Cream Mask

Gentle Refiner

Wouldn't it be nice if all GWP's were redefined as Gifts with Purpose?

From all Clarins retailers while stocks last with any two purchases (that's not hard now is it? - I mean it's Clarins....)
