Gift with Purchase. Having invented the GWP movement, Estée Lauder is the OG when it comes to prestige beauty. And since nobody does luxury better than Neiman Marcus, their Beauty Event is not one of but *the* very best. Like, ‘you can’t miss it’ good. This season, the brand that started it all, gives you countless reasons to shop at Neiman Marcus. The incentives are insane.
YASSS to this GWP!
Why is this particular assortment simply impossible to ignore? First, it involves the phrase ‘full-size’ which, by default, makes this freebie beyond appealing. Second, the Estée Lauder ‘Be You. Be Amazing.’ GWP covers fragrance, color and skincare, including the most advanced Re-Nutriv formulas. Finally, so many recent launches make this the perfect time to treat yourself to something new.
The 411:
Here’s the straightforward skinny. Between July 31st and August 10th, spend $75 on anything Estée Lauder at Neiman Marcus (in-store or online) and receive a full-size Pure Color Envy Sculpting Gloss and Mini Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick, a deluxe gift size Advanced Night Repair Serum, five unique AERIN fragrance favorites, Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lift Face Cream and Re-Nutriv Intensive Smoothing Hand Cream. All arrive in a limited edition zipper travel bag. If your order hits $125 or more, the Gift With Purchase increases and includes a full-size Re-Nutriv Hydrating Creme Cleanser, which retails for $60. Seriously.
Whether you’re looking for ideas or are simply curious about the newness, here are a few of my recent Estée Lauder discoveries and staples worth exploring.
Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm
Providing the most sought after experience in face cleansing, Estée Lauder combines trend with utmost efficacy in the brand new Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm. My current favorite, this luxurious, buttery balm purifies and revitalizes as it melts into dry skin and removes any trace of dirt, pollution and makeup. Simply massage it in before adding water and watch the milky froth rinse off, leaving the skin soft, supple and perfectly prepped for a treatment of choice to follow. Loaded with Safflower Oil, Lady’s Thistle Extract, Algae, Japanese Knotweed, Chamomile and Lavender, this pampering blend serves up a lush texture, relaxing aroma and anti-aging properties in every application. Sized to be your ‘never without’ travel accessory, the slim jar is carry-on material. $45 (70ml) If you prefer a frothy cleanser, try Advanced Micro Cleansing Foam, the balm’s counterpart and also brand new. ($30 for a 100ml tube)
Night Wear Plus 3-Minute Detox Mask
For oily, congested, dull, uneven, or combination skin (or if, like me, you overqualify with all of the above), the new Night Wear Plus 3-Minute Detox Mask is bound to become a staple in your routine. So lightweight and almost liquid-like, this toxin absorbing, blackhead banishing, ultra refreshing and intensely brightening treatment works in just three minutes. While suggested for use at night, it does a phenomenal job anytime your complexion needs a revival. Never drying, this clarifying potion is fueled by pore refining Kaolin and hydrating Glycerin, Sucrose, Gentian Root and Caffeine Extracts. The trademark ‘Wear’ scent of fresh and juicy cucumber is spot on and always appreciated. Also, who doesn’t love a clay mask in a tube? $45 (75ml)
Advanced Night Repair Recovery Serum
Known as ANR for those who can’t live without it, this legendary serum is packed with peptides, vitamins and antioxidants to rejuvenate the skin during its most restful state – overnight. Easily slotted into any skincare routine, this universal solution sinks in within seconds, layers beautifully under a night cream, if needed, and visibly firms, softens fine lines and smoothes over rough uneven tone. Free of fragrance and suitable for all skin types, Advanced Night Repair has a cult following that gets stronger with every ancillary launch. The latest–Recovery Ampoules–tops my wish list at the moment. $62 (30ml)
Advanced Night Repair Concentrated Recovery PowerFoil Mask
Maybe you’re using a serum that you’re so happy with that the above holds no appeal to you. Fine. Be that way. However, this latest sheet mask release is not be missed. The two piece treatment feels like a cotton paper foil blend that is saturated with copious amounts of the signature Advanced Night Recovery Serum. Treat yourself to 15 minutes of this Iron Man-like experience before bed and wake up to a hydrated, rested and radiant complexion. Intended for use just once a week, the powerhouse mask highlights 2X Hyaluronic Acid and the brand’s exclusive ChronoluxCB™ delivery system to help your skin sustain water longer. As a mask connoisseur, I can say without reservation that this PowerFoil gem is one of the very best on today’s market. 100% splurge worthy. $79 (4 sheets)
