INSTA-HYPED; Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair (w/ GIVEAWAY)

When it comes to iconic skincare products the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum comes top to mind. Launched in 1982, this little brown bottle has a cult-like following with those who haven’t tried it often remarking “but I hear it’s great.” How popular is this iconic glass bottle? Currently 10 bottles are sold worldwide every single minute.

But is it worth it’s high price tag? The 1 oz bottle is $95 and the 1.7 oz bottle is $130, combined with the advances in epigenetics (the study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself), this better improve my skin, give me a better credit rating and make my eggs no longer stick to the pan.

The Claims

This is for the newly revamped formula that was released this past summer. It’s believed that 25% of aging is predetermined by your genes with the other 75% linked to environmental and lifestyle factors (wear that sunscreen y’all!) There are tons of clinical and sensory benefits with every drop as well as after three weeks of repeated use and after one bottle.

One dropper should have your skin more radiant and plumped with 72 hours worth of hydration, 8 hour antioxidant protection and skin barrier is strengthened.

Three weeks will show a reduction in lines, more plump and rested looking skin.

One bottle completed should leave your skin with a healthy glow and improved elasticity.


The Results

Before
After 3 weeks

Firstly, I know that these photos are taken in completely different lighting – but you have to give me a break. It’s gloomy AF here in Vancouver and I depend on natural lighting so much. Just use your imagination a bit. After three weeks my skin texture had definitely improved and my overall redness was less noticeable. It left my skin glowy and it’s an ideal night serum. With hyaluronic acid, it really hangs on to whatever moisturizer I layered on top. My skin tends to be more on the oily-combo side but it is prone to dry patches on my cheeks and this really balanced my combo skin. I noticed the biggest improvement in the look was in my nose, which tends to be naturally red.


The Verdict

Everything about this product is luxe AF. The bottle is a beautiful ombre glass with a hefty weight to it and the gold detailing screams “das esspensive.” The product itself made a noticeable difference and I didn’t even use a full dropper every night. It’s definitely one of the products you have to be consistent with to see any results and if you had dry skin this would probably be even more effective on you than it was on me. It does have 4/5 stars on Sephora with over 2K review, which I do think is completely justified. The Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair really does make your skin glowy and look like you got a good nights sleep.


Win a bottle of Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair (1.7 oz)

Did I debate keeping my extra bottle for myself? Definitely – but I do have a lot of skincare products to get through so I thought I would pass along the freebie to one of y’all.

One lucky Canadian winner will win a bottle of the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum valued at $130 CAD! To enter head to my Instagram page (@vickiduong) and find my Estée Lauder post for all the deets. Contest runs from January 13 until January 27. Good luck!

Note: this is a relationship that ended well over a decade ago; I have processed and have dealt with all of those big feelings. Because he’s someone who continues to exist in the world, I hope for the sake of the other women he has dated (or will date) he’s a better man now.

While I’ve fallen out of running lately, I haven’t fallen out of the community. @runasyouare continues to be the most encouraging, heart-filled crew, and I’m endlessly grateful to be part of it.

To quote @nick_l_o : “If you’re not running, you’re cheering.” So this year, I’m proudly repping the cheer squad and paying it forward—because I still remember how much your voices carried me through every painful, glorious step last year.

Thank you for making room for all kinds of pace.

I joined an @intrepidtravel group trip thinking I’d need to micromanage my way through Spain, but instead I got to just show up. No spreadsheets, no stress—just new friends, good food, and someone else figuring out the train schedule.

As a solo female traveller, the built-in safety and structure were such a win. And honestly? This kind of travel used to feel like a far-off fantasy. I didn’t even have a passport until my 20s—and now I’m out here living my travel montage moment.

Curious: are you a plan-it-yourself person or would you let someone else take the wheel? Tell me in the comments

You ever see that study about how men sit side by side and women face each other? Like… what do boys even do when they hang out? Honestly curious.
