#EclosBeauty Skin Care Review and Giveaway!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of éclos Skin Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

As a mom, how often do you take time (and money) to pamper and take care of yourself, especially your skin?  I know I don’t take a lot of time or spend a lot of money.  Skin care is something I totally lack on!  In my defense however, I’ve been told by more than one skin care expert that I have “perfect” and “healthy” skin.  I guess for me, less is more!  I am however, always up for tyring new products, especially cheap ones!

I was given the opportunity to try éclos Skin Care.  I received the the Anti-Aging Skin Care starter kit which contains sample sizes of their complete line:

• Facial Cleaner Skin Prep
• Cellular Activator Face Serum
• Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream
• Restorative Eye Cream
• Instant Radiance Facial Scrub
• Skin Renewal Clay Mask
• Terry Cloth Head Band

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical of this skin care.  First because it’s resonably priced and can be found at mass retailers such as Target and Walgreens.  Who really thinks that a cheap skin care will actually work?  Second, they claim the products contain high-potency apple stem cells extracted from the rare Swiss apple, Uttwiler Spätlauber.  Stem cells? Rare Swiss apple?  Yeah, whatever…  Third, we’ve all heard products claim that they can bring back skin’s youthful appearance and decrease fine lines/wrinkles.  Doesn’t every beauty product claim that?  If I didn’t have the before and after photos to prove it, I would have thought éclos Skin Care was a gimic.  But it’s not!!

WARNING:  You’re going to get a bit too up close and personal with my skin…

These are the before and after photos of my face after two weeks of using éclos Skin Care.  They are self portraits using natural lighting, no make up, and no photo editing (except some cropping).  I know, you don’t notice much of a difference from the above photos but…wait for it…wait for it…

You don’t even notice much after a close up of my cheeks.  That’s ok though, remember, I have “perfect” and “healthy” skin already!  Plus, I’m only in my 30s so my skin doesn’t have many wrinkes to start with…wait for it…wait for it…

Here’s where you notice a difference!  The fine lines by my eyes are gone!  After just two weeks!

I also noticed a decrease in the pore sizes on my nose (thanks clay mask!–I’ll be buying you again!).  I didn’t get a photo of my nose because it was hard as a self portrait!  They kept turning out blurry!  Trust me though, they ARE smaller!  On a side note, I also loved the smell of the products!
