Estee Lauder Nutritious Radiant Vitality Energy Lotion

My favourite thing about this product is hands down the scent! It smells fruity without being overpowering and just smelt luxurious and fresh.

I liked this product and have enjoyed using it over the past week and a half. It's made my skin feel hydrated and energised, and I really liked the product. I used it as well as the moisturiser from the duo and loved the way my skin felt after using both of these products!

A little complaint I have about this product is the packaging. It comes in a simple but stylish red bottle, which I love the look of, but I feel like with a pump or really anything else at the top I would've enjoyed it a lot better. It has a hole at the top, which I find makes the product go everywhere and makes it just annoying to apply.

Still really liked this and will continue to use it!

This is an Asian "lotion", not a Western lotion/moisturiser, more like a hydrating toner. I apply it to my face after cleansing using my hands. It has a light, watery texture and leaves my skin feeling plump and hydrated. There is a very slight tacky residue that disappears quickly. It has a fresh, fruity, artificial pomegranate scent.

This product is good for preparing the skin to absorb further moisture and can be layered for more effect.

I wouldn't purchase it myself as it's very expensive.

Thanks BR for sending me this product to review!

This product smells absolutely delicious. If nothing else, I am in love with the scent. I have to admit I was a little bit confused when I first opened it. I haven't seen lotions in this kind of form before - the consistency is more of a cleansing water or toner - so I had to look it up to find out how to apply it.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and have been applying it on a cotton pad all over my face and neck. My impression is that it has given me a great moisturised base (that's not sticky like other lotions), which is great to put my makeup over. I feel as though it has given me a great fresh look and I will definitely keep using it because I often feel bogged down or dull when I use other products.

I was lucky enough to be selected in the trial team for this product to be used alongside a moisturiser. On receiving the product, the first thing I noticed was the large bottle size. Some of these luxury beauty products tend to be a bit stingy with tiny little products that only last a few weeks so that made me happy to see. The bright red bottle immediately gave me the impression that it would be packed full of pomegranate goodness. The second thing I noticed was that there were no instructions for how to use it. It was very liquidy so I poured it onto a cotton pad and noticed it had a similar consistency to a toner. This is how I used it, applying to just-cleansed skin twice a day with a cotton pad. The smell is fresh and pleasant and it glides onto the skin easily. Initially I used a bit too much but now I know that a little bit goes a long way. On application, my skin tingled slightly then cooled as the product absorbed. It left my skin feeling refreshed and lightly moisturised and well toned, a great base for a moisturiser. Overall I thought this product was perfect as a toner but I can't say it left my skin looking "radiant" as promised and with the hefty price tag, I wouldn't personally buy it for myself because it didn't give me better results than my $30 Body Shop toner. I am however interested to see if using this product alongside the moisturiser long term will improve my skin. Time will tell.

So I recieved this product as part of a trial team (and am incredibly lucky!!!) and had to admit I was a bit baffled by how to use it. This my show my naivety when it comes to high end products but I spent far too long googling before seeing an instruction that I believe was on the base of the bottle, advising to spread it with hands or cloth. Asides from my blunder I really liked the smell, it is understated and refreshing with a faint pomegranate scent, but without leaving me smelling like product. A little goes a fairly long way and I was really surprised by how fresh my skin felt afterwards. I even used some on the rough patches on my triceps and was super pleased about how soft it felt.

It absorbs fairly quickly and has actually made me feel so happy with the glowing look that I've practically gone without foundation for the last two weeks. I'm also less concerned about this being 'overly moisturising' and leaving me with oily skin.

The only downside for me is the price - I don't know if I can justify the price tag.

It's a toner. Why have they called it a lotion?!! I can't get over it. I think it twice a day when I use it.

This is a watery liquid. It smells as delicious as the moisture gel creme. So fresh and fruity - but if fragrances bother you, don't worry, the smell doesn't linger too long once applied.

I used this after cleansing, as I am set it is a toner. (!) The instructions on the bottle say 'apply am/pm with a cotton pad or fingertips'. You need a cotton pad - the product comes out so quickly if you try with finger tips you'll end up with spillage. Hold a cotton pad firmly a top the bottle, and quickly tip it upside down and back again. Voila.

I found this lovely and cooling, and it removed that tight after cleansing feeling. My skin was left feeling fresh and rejuvenating.

What I dislike about the product - the plastic bottle is cheapening, especially when we're talking about an $82 toner. And that. The $82 price tag.

So, much like the Moisture Cream from the same range - I would recommend it - it does what it says, and it does it well. But would I use it again? Maybe. If someone bought it for me as a present!
