If you are a diehard fan of Lisa Eldridge you might have seen this product hundred times in her videos, not only her but this is one product which is cult favorite and not to forget our very own Expert here on Indyabeauty NEERAJ, always raves about this. I didn’t knew anything like this excited on earth and while I started buying clarins e/s last year I horded on samples of this beauty as my friend (NEERAJ) suggested me this time and again .

OH!!! This is not the review for the samples babes ….

I purchased this from strawberrynet.com for 1400/- and I got further 10 % off, it retails for 1800/- in stores and is housed in small tube. I am happy with the packaging, it is small and chubby tube, and you hardly need a pea size for your face.

I have combination to oily skin and I have never felt my skin oily or greasy after this , mostly I use this in night or else before some of my looks , it never gave me that greasy feeling , moreover I skip my face primer when am using this . If you have dry skin I suggest you to apply your moisturizer underneath.

How to use this: Mind you, don’t ever rub this, it needs to be gently applied on skin rather than rubbing.

When to use: You can use this as night cream, it works wonderfully, over your regular moisturizer and before foundation, use this as a mask (I haven’t though). If you are dead tired apply this and your skin will get that instant glow. It provides a film on your face and gives that hydrated look to your skin. It acts like a barrier and lifts the skin to whole new level.

What results to expect: It gives amazing results in few minutes. It is a skin booster tonic and adds a life to dull lifeless face. Again don’t rub it just apply gently; it is the key factor for this wonder product.

What not to do: Please don’t use this on daily basis, it is a luxury item, don’t expect it to work magically if you use it often and that’s what Lisa Eldridge always maintains and I have noticed this really works. Use this once in a while and see how wonderful this is.

How long it will last: the tube is very tiny, but as I said you don’t have to use this every now and then it will last you pretty long time.

A tip here : When you are at Clarins counter next time,  ask a sample of this and see if it works for you , no I am not going to share my lines for asking ( read begging ) samples , be creative and try to get some samples for this and I am sure you will be hooked.

Do I recommend: If you are ready to splurge do get this and moreover if you are going to be bride definitely get this as it will be a boom to those hectic late night parties and looking fresh in the morning every day … not only that , why not pamper our skin ?? As simple as that … Do share your thoughts for the same

A BIG TIP: If you are not happy with the product you can return it, shoppers Stop, Lifestyle and every big brand takes their product back within 15 days.

      hahha shilpa :D the best question ever …
      same thing i asked Neeraj , what is so special in this …

      dear it creates a thin film on your face and hence provides a good canvas for makeup , it is like a primer , a mask , a rejuvenating cream
      all in one and yeah it is suitable for every skin tone

      it is a luxury product thats all , you need to try the sample before coming to any conclusion.
