Winter Care Cream Review - Elizabeth Arden Intervene

So I have been doing a lot of things viz. shifting into a new abode, getting prepped for 'my best friend's wedding' and finally resigning from work. Yes, you heard it right! I resigned and to top it all i feel amazing. It is like the new year arrived earlier at my new doorstep. In between all the shifting, packing, unpacking, re-decorating & all the shopping; my skin became so flaky & dry that even my last resort - almond oil could not nourish it back to life.

And then the hunt started for a new night cream. First stop was a mall and i consulted a few so called 'beauty experts' who suggested i go for Elizabeth Arden's Intervene - Stress Recovery Night Cream. Sounds Amazing, Right!

Unfortunately, the cream is not. I bought it for a whooping INR 1100 and i wished i would have bought a blouse from promod instead of buying this. Firstly, it has a lot of those glitter particles which are supposed to nourish your skin and make it shine, which does the trick when you apply it but when you wake up in the morning the shine and the sheen is all gone. Also, having asked for a treatment for very dry skin, Intervene was clearly a wrong suggestion from the 'beauty expert'. It just didn't do anything for my skin. My skin was as dead as it was before i applied it.

Will i buy it again? No.  Will i suggest it to someone? Maybe Not.
