drunk elephant the midi committee drunk drawer skincare kit - protini polypeptide cream
i love holidays, since usually high end brands will release some holiday kits so i can try some of them in reasonable price. i tried origins products thanks to the holiday season. last december when we were in singapore, i decided to splurge a bit and bought drunk elephant kits. i always want to try drunk elephant products, but their price range is way too expensive for me. even their kits are still too expensive, but the midi kit has two products that i want to try, the protini cream and the retinol cream. so i think it's worth the money. for this post, i'll just write about the protini cream. it's highly raved by many people, so let's see how it does.
this is the description from sephora website: a skincare kit of top-notch, top-selling products in midi sizes. this skincare kit includes a-passioni retinol cream, b-hydra serum, protini moisturizer, and slaai cleansing balm which are all perfect for both morning and nighttime skincare routines.
what it includes: protini polypeptide cream 30ml, a-passioni retinol cream 10 ml, b-hydra intensive hydration serum 5ml, slaai makeup melting butter cleanser 22g, bamboo booster 1,7g.

the packaging: just like the name, all the products are placed in a drawer like packaging. the outer part is a bright neon orange paper that enveloped the whole drawer. it has description at the back of it. when you peel it open, there's the cardboard drawer which all the products is placed on a plastic separator. the protini itself comes in a white plastic tub with green screw cap. the color combination is the same as the full size product, but the dispensing system is different. the midi size, which is 30 ml, comes in a usual tub just like any ordinary cream, but the full size one has a airless pumping system so the whole cream doesn't get in contact with the air. there's another description at the back of the tub in english and french.

the scent: this time, i have several products in my line that is fragranced, so i can't say for sure if this has subtle fragrance. so far, i think it's scentless, so correct me if i'm wrong.

the product: it's a snow white gel cream. right off bat i knew that i like the texture of the cream. it feels like my usual japanese cream, but this one is slightly thicker. and it doesn't melt into watery traces either. but it spreads easily as well.

| look at the cream's texture! |
the result: i can feel that it's moisturizing enough for my skin. it's thick but not clogging my pores. it also works well over my other skincare products. it gives glowy finish which i like. it really makes my skin glowing and it makes me happy before hitting the bed.

| okay, i don't know what went wrong, but after blending it in, it looks glowy, not matte like this picture |
i could see why people like it. i think it's really suitable for normal to combination skin, but it would slightly too rich for oily skin. but if you're using this at night, it might be okay. it's occlusive enough so it can retain moisture throughout the night. especially if you're using air conditioner at night. i do like this, but it doesn't justify the price. i think my japanese cream would work similarly, so let's see how it does since i repurchase some and buy new stuff as well. but if you have the money and want to splurge on something nice, i think you should consider this. it's a good cream so the rave is true. but if you don't have the budget, you don't have to spend your money on this cream. there are other good creams to try as well. as for me, i'm glad i got the chance to buy the midi size, but i don't think i'd spend fortune on the full size product.
