my estee story

Every girl will have a story about their first step into the world of growing up and makeup, when they possess their first cosmetic product.

Mine was this perfume from estee lauder, called 'beautiful', and here is my estee story.

The bottle was passed to me from my mom, who has been an estee customer for many years. I stuck to this scent for quite a while because i simply loved its floral tones and because i had grown up smelling it since it had been worn by my mom previously. A few years ago, during my visit to one of the estee counters, i found out that even the salesgirl had her first perfume passed down from her mother, and it was also from estee lauder.

My estee story is not just about having to possess my first bottle of perfume, but it marked the change in the conversation topics i started having with my mother. Being eighteen and knowing nuts about dressing myself up, i was eager to learn and transform myself into a woman like my mother. On my mother's part, i believe she was excited about her daughter's next step into adulthood.

Although i am no longer wearing any estee perfume, it still holds a special position in my heart. A year ago, i got my mom the chanel's classic No 5, and i noticed that she has been using it sparingly, only on special occasions:)
