Estee Edit collection
Hey loves. So we are getting ready for the holidays and many new releases are coming out. I am thankful to influenster for allowing me to try one of the new collections recently released by Estee lauder. I received the following items from influenster free for review and testing purposes.

Thankyou to influenster
So anyways on to the good stuff. In the #esteeedit vox box I received a illuminator cream, an eye cream, a duo metallic eyeshadow and a duo eye pencil. These products are currently available on the sephora website. I tested these products over a two week period so these are my honest reviews. You may or may not have the same results but if you were curious to see how they worked on me you can go ahead and read the following reviews.

Metallishadow:
My most favorite product I enjoyed was the eyeshadow. I received the shade aqua nova. This lovely duo comes stacked. At the top is a creme shadow in a very dark teal shade, that you may use alone or in my case as a base for the metallic loose powder. It's packaging is similar to a compact which also includes a mirror. As for the formula it is not as creamy as I expected but It did apply well and blended out perfectly. I used a flat eyeshadow brush with stiff bristles to be able to pick up the product and tap it on to the lids. I also read on the Sephora site that you can us the cream as an eyeliner. Below the compact is a twist of jar that contains the loose pigment. The shimmer on the loose pigment is so lovely. The color is a navy blue (described online as a peacock blue) with silver and light blue shimmer. The loose pigment is very easy to apply and I enjoyed the color applied over the cream. You can use any eyeshadow brush with this one. I do warn there is a bit of fallout but nothing dramatic. Maybe spraying the brush with a fix spray will help to prevent any fallout. this one retails for $25 on the sephora site. They have a metallic line and a shimmer one as well.

Inside Track Eye Kajal:
I loved, loved the inside track eye kajal. A duo eyeliner that is priced at $22. It comes in a range of colors but the combo I received is navy brat and baby blue. The colors are not something I would normally pick up but I am glad they sent me this shade range. They are so creamy. Im not kidding when I say they glide on like butter and have not broken off. They are so long lasting as well. They don't budge easily. I was only able to remove them off with a makeup remover. They are simply amazing and worth a try. I used them on my waterline but I am sure you could use them as a liner as well.
(Radiance activator)

Radiance Activator:
Another lovely product is the radiance activator. I do recommend this one for those who do not like to wear foundation and want just a hint of glow. This one is priced at $55 on the sephora site. You can apply this one with your moisturizer and after you apply your foundation. I do not recommend applying it as a primer because it will cause your foundation to gather up on the areas that you did not blend the illuminator out well. Applied on bare skin you can see the gold illumination. I applied it as well over my foundation and did notice a subtle glow. Again nothing dramatic. The bottle is one fluid ounce and it comes with a pump. It is recommended for any skin tone but it helps also to treat those with dry and dull skin.
(Late night Eraser for eyes)

Late Night Eraser:
The final product I was not really impressed with is the late night eraser for your eyes. I did not notice any change. This is suggested to be an eyebrightner that contains pink peony, cucumber and other great ingredients to help brighten the eye area and also help reduce the appearance of dullness. You apply it after you concealer or at night to see results the following day. Again I did not experience any change but it could work differently for someone else. This one retails for $42 on the sephora site.
Thank you once again beauties for checking the blog out and I hope some of you found this helpful. if you have any questions feel free to comment or email them. Have a lovely weekend.
