I was so excited when I opened my mailbox and saw a Voxbox waiting for me. I was even more excited when I opened the box and saw four….FOUR…full size Estee products! I love Estee!!!
First Impressions: I loved the packaging!!! So clean and professional looking. I loved the white and blue.
The Products
Beam Team Hydrate + Glow
What it is:This is a double-double decker with an illuminating hydrating lotion in the tube and a touch-on shimmer concentrate in the flip cap.
Thoughts: I liked the feel of this lotion. It went on smoothly without feeling greasy and gave my skin an all over glow. It looked nice under my makeup and didn’t irritate my skin. The flip cap shimmer is really pretty and I used it as a highlighter of sorts and really liked it. I wish it was a little easier to apply. I ended up using a brush to apply because trying to rub the cap on my face wasn’t happening. Two in ones are perfect for traveling or touching up on the go!
The Barest Lip Color in 06 Nude Scene
What it is:A lipstick/balm hybrid with muru muru butter and real flower petal waxes.
Thoughts: I loved the color of this!!! It is a dark nude and will be perfect for the fall and winter for me. I love that you can swipe on a quick layer for a sheer coverage or you can really layer it to get it whatever color you want. The formula was smooth and creamy without being sticky or drying. An all around win in a lipstick for me!
Pore Vanishing Stick
What it is: Glide-on stick to blue the look of pores and minimize shine and oil.
Thoughts: I used this around my nose and cheeks and went on nice and smooth. While I don’t feel like it got rid of all my pores, it certainly made my skin look better. Also, my makeup applied very nicely over it. You can wear this under or over makeup.
Flash Illuminator in 04 Day Light
What it is:A high-impact highlight cream that instantly illuminates skin while proving skin care ingredients like hyaluronic acid.
Thoughts: Unfortunately, this color is way way way too dark for me!!! This comes in five different shades and I wished they would have sent me the lightest one so I could have tested it out appropriately. What I can tell you just from sampling it on my hand is that the color is gorgeous and it gives you a nice glow without looking too done. This would be perfect as a highlight, blush or for strobing.
Overall I loved this line from Estee and I will certainly be checking out more of the products! Have you heard of these or tried them?
I received these Estee Edit products compliments of Influenster in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are of my own.

I haven’t kept up with Influenster in YEARS, and this shows I should. I am loving everything so many of you got, how fun!
I’ve been waiting for this review from you!! I can see how the cap on that lotion / bronzer would get in the way, bummer about the illuminator, it looks really pretty when you swiped it! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
I have never even heard of this brand, but I am loving that illuminator, and that lipstick looks amazing just on your hand!!
YIPEE for full size products.
You are so right – that lipstick is PERFECT for fall.
Love these reviews! I especially like the dark nude color of that lipstick, I could see that being a great color for fall and going with just about anything. Hope you’re having a wonderful Wednesday!
That highlighting cream is gorgeous but you’re right it’s made for someone with a darker skin tone. Love that lipstick shade, it will be perfect for the fall! 🙂
Sounds like a fun box!
Those all look like such great goodies! I’ve never tried in Estee Edit products before, but I really love how Beam Team had the additional cream in the cap!
Oh, I’m so jealous! I qualified for a Clarins mailer, but not much in that one.
I have the pore stick–it’s been on the blog before–and I felt the same way as you.
What an awesome voxbox, love that they sent full sizes too! That illuminator looks amazing, but yeah it does look a tad dark. And thanks for the honest review on the pore vanishing stick. I have yet to find a product that claims to reduce pores and actually follow through! 😛
I have never heard of that line before but definitely want to check it out now!
I’ve never heard of Estee Edit. Off to investigate.
Influenster has really been fucking with me lately because I keep getting all of these emails that I’m getting VoxBoxes… but it’s a lie. And this was one. I hate that I didn’t get this one! I love that illuminator but that would be too dark for me, too! I didn’t know Estee made products like this, honestly. I always think of stuff my grandma would wear. 🙂
Love the color of that lipstick! Definitely a great shade for fall.
i don’t think i have ever actually heard of this line. what a bummer that they sent you a colour you can’t even use… what’s the point?!
