Hi peeps! :-h Posting up some more well overdue product
reviews for you all. This one was sent
to me by the gorgeous and ever generous Tammerly
from Spoilt, so I could test it out
and share my experience with you all. :-)
Elixia is an Australian
company who produces premium skin care based on science and clinical
development, such as their High Performance
Anti-Ageing collection that features a Fine Line Lip Serum. The all natural range is free of nasties and
enriched with a potent blend of peptides, antioxidants and actives, including
Vitamins A (retinol), C and E. 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. The serum works to reduce the
appearance of visible lines and wrinkles around the lip area, whilst increasing
plumpness and hydration to the lip surface and ensuring the lip contour keeps
in shape, for a more youthful appearance.
:D
The Fine
Line Lip Serum comes in a stylish 10ml pump-action metal canister, boasting
the easy to identify silver and bold magenta colour scheme that is consistent
throughout the entire range, giving me the impression that it’s a high quality
brand. The ergonomic, airless packaging
is hygienic and designed to block out oxygen and protect the inner contents, so
the natural, preservative-free formulation can maintain its purity and last
longer. The biggest downfall of this
treatment, however, is related to the dispenser, which pumps out too much serum
for a single application, despite constantly trying to control the flow. ~X( (Very frustrating,
grrr!) I only need half the pumped
amount and there’s no way to return the leftovers to the pack, other than
scraping it into the inside of the lid to use later; a step that totally
defeats the purpose of better hygiene in the first place. #-o But…it’s either that or wasting it, and I am not one for
squandering beauty products, especially when they’re quite costly. :-O
The weightless formula is white in colour and has a creamy,
fluid-like consistency, similar to a lotion, with a smooth, velvety
texture. It claims to be unscented, yet
it does have a very faint fragrance @};- that is typical of non-perfumed
skin care, nevertheless I don’t consider it offensive and it doesn’t
linger. I only need a teeny weeny amount of serum to massage
over my lips and on the surrounding skin of my lip contour. I admit, at first it felt bizarre putting a
moisturiser, similar to that of a body or face cream, straight on my lips, :-S
as I’ve previously only used balm-type
products, but the good thing is that it’s fast absorbing and there is no residue
at all. In fact, it completely
disappears leaving my smackers feeling bare and natural, rather than being
coated in a greasy film. #:-S For me, the indication that this treatment
was actually working became noticeable after a week of using it religiously,
twice a day. The condition of my lips
improved immensely, and gone were my usual, parched, scaly (often peeling) lips that displayed
evident flaws, like cracks and fissures on their surface. Instead, my pout was soft, supple and
silky smooth. It makes a great makeup
base too, because it primes and nourishes my lips, so they emerge polished and my
lipstick stays put without feathering and remains flawless for longer. =D> Ideally, it provides a
revitalising ‘quick-fix’ if my
kissers are dehydrated and need an extra moisture boost during the day.

This is the first lip conditioner I’ve ever tried and I LOVE :x
how it locks in moisture and protects
my peckers from the elements, to help slow down the ageing process, while
gradually, over time, reversing existing damage and softening any obvious
lines. Even though my lips don’t ‘feel’ particularly hydrated after
application, like they do with most balms, I do know it’s performing, simply by
seeing the transformation of my lips. ;) Prior to starting this trial, I was
practically addicted to lip balms and was forever slathering them on my lips,
day and night, to treat the unsightly roughness. But, no amount of balm has ever gotten my
lips looking as good as they are since I started using the Fine Line Lip Serum. I am impressed with the results I’ve achieved
after nearly a month and although the price tag is a bit steep, I would still
consider making it a permanent addition to my beauty regime. Unfortunately, because the pump expels an
excess of product, I imagine it’s going to run out a lot sooner than it should,
meaning it’s not very cost effective, so I doubt I would repurchase it, unless
packaging changes are made to prevent wastage.
Regardless of the cons, I would definitely recommend this serum to anyone
who has exhausted other options and needs a truly effective treatment that will
rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of their lips. Pucker up and kiss those peeling, flaking,
cracking, dry, chapped lips goodbye and give them the attention they deserve
and show off a plumper, healthier, more youthful smile. :-*
Has anyone else tried a lip conditioner before? :-? Did
you find it felt strange to be putting a cream on your lips for the first time? I certainly did, but have definitely gotten
use to it and to be honest I am so happy with the results. Just wish it wasn’t so costly as I’m not sure
my budget will cater for such an expense atm….
:( Maybe some of you can recommend a cheaper lip
conditioner that I could check out? :-/ Feel
