Hello friends everywhere! :-h This
is the third and final Elixia review, that I have been test driving for the TrialTeam over at the leading Australian beauty website, Beauty Heaven. Here are my thoughts based on my product
experience as well as my own generic brand introduction that I’ve replicated in
the first paragraph of all three reviews to help familiarise my readers with
this particular range ;)
I was completely
unfamiliar with the brand Elixia when Beauty Heaven first asked me to
participate in this trial, :-/ so I took the opportunity to do some online
research and promptly ascertained that this Australian company produces premium
skin care based on science and clinical development. I was sent three
products representative of their High Performance
Anti-Ageing range, which is all natural and free of nasties, albeit infused
with a potent blend of peptides, antioxidants and actives, including Vitamins A
(retinol), C and E. These
supercharged ingredients hold the key to reversing prematurely aged skin and
are exactly what I look for in my skin care, so it was my eager expectation
that Elixia should compliment my current
anti-ageing routine to perfection. :D The products are formulated
using an exclusive, innovative technology called TPM (Targeted Penetration Matris) to help deliver
the effective cocktail of ingredients deep into the epidermis for better
execution, whereby enhancing the absorption and penetration by up to 4 times
Hygienic roller-ball packaging |
Twist to unlock the base |
The Elixia Eye Brightening Fluid
comes in a classy 10ml roller-ball style canister with the identifiable silver
and bold magenta colour scheme that is consistent throughout the range and screams
of superior quality. $-) I love the roller-ball presentation when it
comes to eye treatments, because the design provides a hygienic, mess-free, application
method that’s gentle enough for the delicate skin around the eye contour,
whilst at the same time protecting the integrity of any ingredients vulnerable
to air degradation, by encasing the product in a sealed, airtight
dispenser. :x You just have to unlock the base of the pen-like
housing, by twisting it in the direction of the ‘open’ arrow, displayed
underneath, then press the button once to encourage the formula to release onto
the roller-ball ready to 'rock and roll'. After
use, simply turn in the reverse direction toward the ‘close’ arrow to lock the
base, which then makes it handy for popping into a purse to provide an instant
reviver anywhere, any time. I do,
however, find, at times, too much product can surface after a solid press of
the button that I suspect contributes to wastage, :-S so it pays to be very careful not to press too
firmly during this process. #-o The other
hindrance that I faced was, at one point, soon after I started using this
product, it became blocked and I was unable to exude any product from the
canister at all. I thought the dispenser
may have been faulty, but I soon remedied the problem, by standing the pen
upside down overnight and thankfully when I attempted to use it next, it worked
just fine. *-:)
Too much product can emerge with a firm press |
A full dose is too much for one application |
The white, fluid-like
formula is similar to a lotion, with a super lightweight texture and a smooth, velvety
consistency. It has a subtle aroma that
smells delightful, but it’s ever so slight that it’s barely noticeable once contacted
with the skin. Initially the fluid feels
a tad oily, but surprisingly it absorbs quickly with no trace of greasy residue. I love how the metal roller-ball promptly
cools, soothes and refreshes the delicate orbital area, particularly where the
skin is thinner and always drier under the eye, leaving it replenished, ultra
soft and smooth. :) By promoting a ‘bright-eyed’ effect that
plumps and visibly tightens the fragile skin, reduces swelling and
discoloration to help achieve a wide-awake appearance that is foolproof to
disguise telltale puffy eyes and those dreaded dark circles that occur after too
many late nights. ;;) It works equally well, when applied under my
makeup or as required for a revitalising ‘quick-fix’. In addition to the daytime benefits, when
employed on a nightly basis it helps keep the eye area moisturised and
protected to prevent the onset of ageing symptoms before they rear their ugly
head, not to mention, when I rise of a morning I’m already looking energised. \:D/
It looks oily but leaves no residue |
Despite the few issues I
had dispensing the product; I positively love this eye treatment. :-* I’ve always been fond of roller-balls,
especially during summer time when I prefer to keep my eye creams in the refrigerator,
so that when I crawl out of bed in the morning, I beeline for the fridge
because the cold temperature immediately increases the overall vitality of the surrounding
skin and improves the appearance of tired, weary eyes. I can then confidently go about my business
knowing I look well-rested, thanks to concealing the evidence of minimal sleep,
self inflicted by the odd all night shindigs. (:| [-X
Over time,
I have noticed the continual care has provided notable benefits such as fine
lines looking softer and more relaxed, the tone is brighter and the previously
slackened skin is tighter and firmer. Overall,
based on my experience I would recommend the Elixia Eye Brightening Fluid as an
essential ‘pick-me-up’ for busy people who need to eliminate excess baggage and
rejuvenate the eyes to achieve more radiant, youthful-looking appearance. Send those bags packing with the ultimate beauty
SOS for eye emergencies! :-j
How do you manage to hide
the telltale signs of too many late nights?
Do you have a quick remedy to disguise the evidence or a special eye
treatment cream? :-? What are
your thoughts on natural brands like Elixia, does it sound appealing or are you
more confident using more renowned, big name professional brands?

Fantastic reviews of Elixia produts, Mel! All the three sound like they are worth trying. I might need the eye cream the most for my nasty dark circles though!
ReplyDeleteIt has been such a long time since I spoke to you! Hope you and your lovely family are keeping well and enjoying the cooler season <3
As always Su I appreciate your thoughts, you inspired me to do this in the first place ;) Just wish I didn't have so many commitments as there is never enough time in my day to spend as much time as I would like on my blog. I am still using the Elixia products, they are seriously awesome :-)
DeleteThanks Steve love a bit of a chuckle so will definitely check it out :)
