Perfectionist by Estee Lauder

By dulwichmum | January 19, 2010

Name of product: Perfectionist, Targeted Deep Wrinkle Filler by Estee Lauder.

Price: £32.00

The blurb: “This concentrated treatment gives you the power to help fill, smooth and reduce the look of wrinkles on contact. Instantly skin is significantly smoother. Wrinkles are reduced in appearance.”

First impressions: I must admit that I am a luxury skincare junkie, and therefore, completely in love with all things Estee Lauder. The packaging is reassuringly upmarket and slightly clinical, a metallic lavender coloured tube with a useful tipped applicator. The solution itself is therefore easy to direct and apply with precision.

Ease of Use: The applicator tip on the tube works very well. The thick, creamy solution is very pliable and blendable and simple to apply prior to moisturiser.

I have been obsessing of late about one line between my brows (shhh), and even considered Botox (clutches chest). But I fear that the injectible fillers are the beginning of a slippery slope and I want to enjoy my laugh lines, just blur them a little. I don’t want to end up looking like Pete Burns (OHMYGOD).

Pros: This product immediately and effectively blurred the line between my brows. This has actually been a huge relief to me as I was beginning to feel that Botox was inevitable (dabs eye with tissue). I am under constant pressure to look fabulous. You have no idea; beauty can be such a burden (tries to appear sincere).

Cons: Yes this product restores my skin’s silky smoothness and blurs furrows, but it is not permanent. I just wish that they would develop a topically applied filler that stayed on!

Value for money: Botox £300 with a big needle, Perfectionist £32 in a small tube – what’s not to love here? No, really…

Dulwichmum verdict: ★★★★☆
I am only giving it 4/5 as it is not permanent.

Stockists: Online at Estee Lauder.co.uk and at all good department stores.
