I just received my package and I am very disapointed by the box… do i need to cut it to have access to the powder? This is not luxurious at all! It's not the Estée Lauder packaging I am waiting for and knowing for all these years… so sad!

I have used this for years and a powder I use just about every single day!some days I also use a small amount of the crème and then dust with powder over and get many compliments.

I was so excited to get this powder its not that easy to find talc anymore. When I opened the box I was disappointed it was not the beautiful packaging that Estee Lauder are known for. I had to use a paring knife to get to the powder.The cut out was round but the powder puff was square. The powder puff was very nice but thats the only good thing about this purchase. I put it inside the vanity its not attractive like other Estee Lauder products.(the powder doesn't keep you dry for long)

This powder is the best. I really like it alot. I use after a lotion and then a body spray after the powder. When you get to bottom there is still powder to use up. I end up making sure I get all before I open another box. The cardboard box inside can be removed I find powder under that. I used today the empty box with cardboard part removed and placed my Beautiful powder bottom plastic part with powder plastic top removed. I use the Youth Dew powder puff and box since the powder puff works much better than the one that comes with Beautiful powder. It worked out great. I like both powders but the packaging and powder poof is best from Youth Dew in my opinion. My poof is dry and not gooey considering I use over either wet skin or a lotion. It is still dry compared to Beautiful powder puff which seems gooey using over wet skin or lotion. At least I can use the Beautiful powder in the Youth Dew box and the Youth Dew powder puff which works great!

I am a 3rd generation EL loyalist.I grew up fondly watching my grandmother, then my mother, use EL products; their perfume dusting powder jars were my fav. This came in a cardboard box,with NO directions on how to open it. I had saved this special powder for 3 weeks, for my big wedding Anniv hotel stay. I opened it in the hotel bathroom and It exploded ALL over the bathroom counter, floor, & my sweater that was sitting next to me on a chair. I literally have never had such a crazy experience with EL.Why are you no longer putting this heavenly powder in the jars? You sell the cream in a jar, why not the powder? Makes no sense! Why did you choose a cardboard box? My sweet 85 yr old mother gifted me this perfume powder for my special, Anniversary. It's my FAV fragrance! It is EL best fragrance! Plus Mom and I share special memories of the dusting powder perfume (that she used in the jar!). This is literally the most heavenly and intoxicating fragrance EL has! I had saved this little gift of the dusting powder for my special anniversary and was so sad. Please consider how people feel when they use EL. They love how they feel when they put on this powder; IT IS MAGIC. No other EL product matches how soft my skin is from this powder! But without directions of how to open it, & putting it in cardboard doesn't show this fragrance is even worth it. Which it IS! Nothing makes me feel sexier & more feminine! And I will keep recommending it to others. But I need to let management know about this packaging. I appreciate that EL is sending another box for free, because most of the powder stayed on the hotel carpet:(. I think I need to buy a jar from another website, & transfer the powder into it with a spoon. Pls put it back in the jar. And please don't get rid of the product just bc many people are complaining about the packaging. It's one of your most valued and cherished products that women flock for, ranging from young woman to well aged. Keep the product. Pls Put in a jar.

I got my first box of Estee Lauder powder as a gift and have been buying ever since. I love the smell.

I worked as a middle school monitor, and the students in my class would request my assistance even when they didn't need help. They would just chat. One day, a student told me why. He said everyone loved the way I smelled! My Estée Lauder Youth Dew Powder made me popular with the kids! (And I love the plain box!)

When I opened this item, I thought I had received a defective product. It turns out it was the intended packaging. It should go without saying that a product should not require me to cut out holes in it to access its contents. In addition, this package would require me to use a square puff in a round hole within a container where the product cannot be reached—and it is CARDBOARD?! Estee Lauder should be ashamed for passing this off as a finished product.it smells good but it is completely unusable. I am stunned.

Have used EL Youth Dew Bath Powder for many years. I use it year-around for comfort, elegance, and beautiful fragrance! Ultra feminine to wear. Would not be without it.

I wrote a really long review on this, but when I went to send it it kicked me out.. i'm going to try one more time… The dusting powder comes in a beautiful package, but that's where it stops… You open it up and the powder is actually in a flimsy cardboard box that's covered with white paper with no instructions on how you should open this.. I thought they're clearly had to be an easier way than me just poking a hole in it… I tried for two days to get ahold of someone in customer service and they could help me. Everyone passed the buck… I was able to talk to someone on my last call and yes, you just cut a hole in it… I mean really I can't believe how cheesy this is… Estee Lauder is better than this .. I will attach photos so if you are thinking of getting this, you may want to think twice… I would return it if I thought that they would take it back, but I'm sure they won't.
