Beautisol Eye Want and Bright Eyed

I started testing these products a long time ago but didn't want to review until I had a chance to test it on my non pregnant skin (my skin acts very differently when pregnant)! I thank Sinead for her patience in getting this review done and I am excited to write it! If you are not familiar with Beautisol they started out with a line of AMAZING self tan products (click here to read that review) and have now ventured into anti aging products as well!

In the eye line there are two products; Eye Want (Crows Feet Be Gone) and Bright Eyed (No Needles Required).  These two products work best together to battle all signs of aging on the delicate skin around the eye. One works like botox, while the other plumps and strengthens the skin around the eye.

Let me give you the scientific breakdown of these products. Eye Want contains '10% Snap-8, a newer offspring of the highly acclaimed Argirilene®. It is clinically proven to reduce crow’s feet by up to 63% as it targets muscle contractions. Another peptide ingredient that targets muscle contractions, Inyline, is added for extra fighting power. EYE WANT also contains a special encapsulated Retinol to provide deep exfoliation in combination with Edelweiss Stems Cells and Antarcticine, all of which effectively resurfacing and reducing the appearance of those pesky wrinkles!'

Bright Eyed contains '5% Argireline®, a well-known peptide that aids in decreasing expression lines, and 5% Leuphasyl®, another effective peptide in wrinkle reduction. But nourishing and feeding the eye area is just as important! Borage Oil contains the highest GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid) concentration of any oil and helps to increase cell resilience and moisten the fatty layer under the skin. Along with ChroNOline and other botanicals, BRIGHT EYED delivers a multitude of beauty benefits such as preventing collagen loss, soothing dry, scaly skin and firming the eye area.'

Now what you all really want to know... does it work!!! I saw a big difference in the lines around my eyes! Now I don't have much in the way of crows feet but I do have those pesky 11 lines between my eyes and the Eye Want worked great to greatly soften them. As well the Bright Eyed delicately moisturized my eye without a heavy feeling... something I hate in many eye creams! As well I often find eye creams make my eyes water and I did not have this problem with the Beautisol products!

I think this duo is well worth giving a try, especially if you tend to have sensitive eyes like I do!

Beautisol Self Tanning Products

I have been experimenting with self tanners for years, the only one I eve seem to get right is the one for my face and I had all but given up on a tanner for my body that was easy to use, didn't smell horrible and gave me the results I wanted. A few months ago I was sent Beautisol (formally Antidote) to try. I had wanted to start playing with this product long ago but had not been feeling well enough to play with tanning products. Well this week after tanning my upper body I had to fix the fact that my legs were casper white still so I pulled out my bottle of Beautisol to try.

I went straight for the dark tanning lotion as my upper body was quite dark and I really wanted some balance. One of the first thing I noticed was the smell of this product, which was not what I was used to from tanning products, it was a very pleasant smell! The website says that 'our innovative SMELL RIGHT fragrance technology actually encapsulates the unpleasant processing odor by up to 80%'.

The next thing was how dark this product was. The website explains that is a guide colour and once on the skin it actually blended in quite nicely and was not as dark as I was expecting from looking at the bottle.

This product blended really well into the skin even using the gloves provided in the package. It glided on with almost a gel feel which I found so easy to use. This product also dries very quickly and I did not feel a residue like I have felt with many other tanning products.

This lotion is paraben-free and packed with powerful antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients that help nourish and hydrate the skin. Summer Glow™ is recommended for all skin colors and tones as it highlights and blends with your own skin’s pigment. I can attest to the fact that even with my very light skin this product did not look orange and was perhaps the most natural artificial tan I have ever had. 

I really liked this product and will continue to use it. I have also included some before and afters from Beautisol's website as I forgot to take a before pic of my legs before applying the product!
