Estée Lauder Resilience Multi Effect Tri Peptide Face and Neck Cream

You win some you lose some at the beauty counter

The Estée Lauder eyelash primer is the best one I have found over the years. I don’t wear mascara much these days preferring to preserve my lashes more than coat them in mascara which does cause them to fall out. The primer from Estée Lauder intended as a pre coat to thicken, lengthen and condition the lashes is now my instead of mascara product I opt for.

It improves the look of my eyelashes combined with an eyelash curler without the damaging effects of mascara at my age.

Lash primer plus full treatment formula was the original in a blue tube you might have difficulty finding it goes in clear and this is the product I love. They have since brought out Estée Lauder little black primer £25 which I ended up with not concentrating at the counter with an over zealous sales assistant, they say online Think of it as the little black dress for lashes. Unlike traditional lash primers that are white, this primer is tinted black, so you can use it on its own. All true but to my mind whilst good still an inferior product to the original full treatment formula in the blue tube which for me nourished my lashes more. Not sure if the full treatment formula has now been discontinued, more research required.

However my purchased at the counter meant I got this quite decent sized Tri peptide face and neck cream to try which is really good. Regular price £89 for 50ml currently on sale at Boots for £71.20 quite a saving so I plan to go and pick one up. Not sure how long the significant price reduction will last, why I wanted to share this snoop. The cream is good, thick, nourishing, soaks in well, no fragrance, no residue and does leave my older skin feeling that little bit more youthful and plump. As a mature woman working on prelonging a more youthful appearance as long as possible but with a lot of experience of lotions and potions that come with a good deal of hype this Estée Lauder formula has worked well on my skin.

The little bottle next to it is an Ester Lauder face primer the lady on the counter was so insistent I buy, very very pushy/passionate difficult to decide, which I got out of purchasing, I do use face primer and have a Mrs Rodial one I like recommend by my daughter. I suggested she give me a small amount to take home and try for myself, she didn’t have a tester size.

After using for three days under my foundation I am very glad I didn’t purchase as it is too heavy for me, polyfiller comes to mind. The sales lady maybe took one look at me and thought at her age she needs some heavy duty help, I don’t actually mind my wrinkles too much, they show I have laughter in my life a blessing but I do have an issue with foundation clogging in the pores around my nose and chin. For me the Double wear primer smooth and blur product was way too heavy, it set quite firm, felt a bit like a face mask I needed to wash off which is not a sensation I like all day. That said it may work well for some women who prefer a heavy make up coverage feeling and appearance.

The double wear smooth blur primer costs £45. It’s all-day oil-control primer that instantly blurs the look of pores, even though I am mature my pores aren’t my problem, to a smooth, matte finish. The Breathable gel-cream texture I disagree with. And the suggestion it Leaves skin feeling comfortable. Is questionable. Had I been pressured into purchasing it would have been a mistake for me so I suggest you definitely try this one before you buy.

One thing I do love about Estée Lauder as a company is the gift with purchase ethos. It’s a great way to try lots of different products you’d never purchase individually to see if you like them. It was in a gift with purchase I discovered the primer I love and continued to use for over twenty years. lash primer plus full treatment formula in a blue tube. Take my advice. If you see one snap it up.

FYI The Estée Lauder brand falls into The Estée Lauder Companies is still owned by the Lauder family, who are six billionaire members that hold stakes in the publicly traded company. It’s a company that has lasted over time with products like primer plus full treatment formula that have maintained loyal followers over many decades.

I understand selling in a tough economy with loads of competition is tough but a less aggressive approach with long standing customers would serve the brand well in my humble opinion.

I have also just discovered Estée Lauder Lash Primer Plus Full Treatment Formula was discontinued sometime before August 2021. I bought my last one around 18 months ago which explains why I ended up with the new little black primer in my latest Estée Lauder shopping haul. I have since discovered you can still find a few on EBay if you are happy to pay a bit of a premium.
