Eye Fill Pretty: Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Eye Fill Concentrate (review)

Oh my goodness, I am sleepy! My guest got on her plane this morning (early!); and consecutive late nights of girl talk have created a seriously drowsy blogger. (It just took me several tries to spell the word “seriously.”)

Luckily, a fun phone call gave me a second wind (mostly); so I’m going to use the opportunity to post my review before I get all slow again. Today’s awesome eye-opening item is from Elizabeth Grant Skincare.

Biocollasis Complex Total Regeneration Eye Fill Concentrate

Blurb: A wrinkle fighting innovation that offers immediate and long term benefits. Contains an advanced concentrate of regenerative ingredients with a micro-smoothing action to instantly diminish and soften the appearance of wrinkles. Collagen and peptides reinforce the cellular matrix helping to prevent the appearance of future lines and wrinkles. The result - on application, Eye Fill Concentrate melts into the wrinkle and immediately makes the skin look smoother and unwrinkled. Long term – the skin regains a rejuvenated, flawless look.

Elizabeth Grant has come to the rescue of my sleep-deprived eyes more than once. The products are consistently excellent (as well as luxurious); yet somehow they’ve managed to outdo even themselves with this new (really unique) formula.

In the short term: the first thing I noticed was the innovative packaging. It’s an easy-to-use pump with a super-thin tube for applying the Concentrate exactly where it’s needed. The Concentrate absorbs right away, soothes, hydrates, and has a slight brightening effect. Truly awesome. I felt no greasiness, heaviness or tightness; and my annoying tiny lines were definitely softened and “filled in.” (It also made an excellent base for my eye makeup.)

In the long term: The best thing I’ve noticed is that after about four weeks, my tiny lines are looking tinier. (Yay!) Keeping skin lifted throughout the day and night helps prevent further creasing, so I feel confident that there’s some prevention going on at the same time as the instant gratification.

Take a look at the website - and take an extra good look at the specials. Right now, residents of Canada can vote for their favorite beauty must-haves (and qualify for a chance to win an awesome beauty pack). For you non-Canadians, Elizabeth Grant is also available at ShopNBC and The Shopping Channel.

Good Old Fashioned Pretty: Elizabeth Grant Hand and Foot Cream (review)

Things have been um...challenging...around here. The air conditioning system at work is on the fritz and we're all crowded together in each others' offices with hastily installed window units. Which makes for a bit of stress in addition to the heat and humidity. Which means there's a need for something both cooling and soothing today. Hey, I know! How about a fabulous hand cream from Elizabeth Grant?

Hand and Foot Cream

Blurb: Eww! Take one big whiff of Hand and Foot Cream - and you know this works. Grandma’s highly, aromatic Camphor is so potent you can feel it’s going to work hard while it provides an immediate cooling sensation that alleviates discomfort . This is your prescription for chapped, calloused, dry, rough hands and feet. An intensive treatment to soothe, soften, protect, and deeply nourish the skin.

Okay, I thought that blurb was a little dramatic. The cream does smell like camphor (which I happen to like); but the scent fades fairly quickly. Camphor has been around for ages because of its many benefits. It's especially great for skin because it absorbs quickly, produces a cooling effect, and even has antimicrobial properties.

So what does a cream containing camphor actually mean for your hands and feet? It means that the cooling, soothing properties get absorbed right away and make everything lovely and soft. This Cream feels like nothing else! The combination of Camphor, Shea Butter, Green Tea and Chamomile not only penetrated and softened my hands immediately; but my grouchy summer skin felt refreshed right away. And my feet – unbelievable! My tootsies felt amazing, looked soft and supple, and stayed that way for hours (even while wearing flip flops). This is definitely a keeper…and if you have problem summer skin, it's a must have!

Of course, you'll want to check out the website as soon as you're done reading this. Be sure to take a look at the special offers and browse the celebrity photo album. Elizabeth Grant is also available at ShopNBC and The Shopping Channel.

My So Called Double Life: The Socializer from Elizabeth Grant (review)

Did I ever tell you that I live an exciting double life? That's right – I'm an unassuming opera singer/database coordinator by day; but at night I have steamy adventures and go to wild debauched parties where all sorts of unimaginable things occur. The kind of secret life where I have a succession of risky rendezvous that curl my toes and barely leave me any time to learn my music.

What? You don't believe me? Sigh! No one ever believes me. The people at work didn't even believe me when I said that I use swear words (FYI: I really do use swear words…terrible ones…frequently).

Well, despite what people may believe; I do manage to scrape together a fairly decent social life. (Besides friends and fun, it also means extra chances to try out new beauty products.) And talking about my social life is just about the most perfect seamless way to tie-in to today's cool product from Elizabeth Grant.

The Socializer™ Bright Lights and Late Nights


Blurb: Ulva Lactuca– a unique algae that helps improve the skin's elasticity and support fibers Matrixyl– increases collagen synthesis, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, regenerates skin Allantoin- relieves irritated skin, healing Chamomile- soothes and calms the skin

Bright Lights (AM): Late night last night? No problem. With The Socializer™ Bright Lights you can go straight from owning the bar to owning the boardroom. It’s all the hydrating, cooling, soothing, de-puffing, dark-circle-erasing, illuminating action we could fit into one tiny tube.

Late Nights (PM): From flashing lights to goodnight, The Socializer™ Late Nights is your key to looking like it never happened. It’s your too-much-fun-too-little-sleep remedy; apply before you crash and wake up looking like you slept like a baby.


First – I know I don't usually talk about packaging when it comes to skin care; but this packaging deserves a mention. Because it's adorable and fun...and the little clicker pens are hygienic, convenient and portable. The Late Nights (pm) felt very soothing right before bed. And I noticed some especially nice results with the Bright Lights (am). It was cooling and tingled a tiny bit; and my eyes definitely looked better a few minutes later.

So even if I don't happen to be attending wild parties and having crazy hook-ups; there are times when I do go out, stay up late and get less than my perfect amount of beauty sleep (or sometimes I just stay home and watch TV, and I my allergies act up). And I was really impressed at how well my puffy, dry peepers responded.

Now you must know by now that I'm going to send you off to visit the website, don't you? So, go on then! Otherwise I'll have to start using some of my fiendish swear words.

Skin Candy: More Delicious Elizabeth Grant (review)

Lately, I've been trying so much awesome stuff and hearing about so many new launches that it's making me a little dizzy. There's just so much! Couldn't decide if I was a deer in the headlights or a kid in a candy store.

Finally decided: kid…store.

One of the yummiest looking candy stores I've come across is Elizabeth Grant. Super luxurious skincare (as well as beauty and fragrance). A while back I reviewed some items from the Caviar line (loved!), and today I'm going to share about some of her Biocollasis™ items.

Biocollasis™ Gold Essence

Blurb: This luxurious essence is so powerful it should come with a magic wand! With unprecedented concentrations of gold, peptides, precious minerals and Torricelumn™, Biocollasis™ Gold Essence is Elizabeth Grant's purest and most potent concentrate to restore the skin's youthful vitality and luminosity. Biocollasis™ technology works deep within the epidermal layer to give your skin a smoothed, firmed and refreshed appearance. Experience Biocollasis™ Gold Essence and experience ageless beauty. Gold: Since the time of Cleopatra, and reportedly long before, gold has been used in medicinal remedies, therapeutic salves and cosmetic preparations. Peptides: regenerate the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Minerals - to improve cellular protection against the harmful effects of the environment.

Biocollasis™ Complex Advanced Cellular Age Defense Eye Cream

Blurb: A dual-performance concentrate for the delicate eye area. Perfectly balanced to counteract the natural aging process by creating a defense against skin aging at the epidermal cellular level. The eye area is nurtured, protected and defended. Innovative technology instantly brightens the look of dark circles, delivers optimal hydration and plumps the appearance of the skin. The eye area appears firmed, lifted and smoother as the skin regains its youthful resilience.

Biocollasis™ Complex Advanced Cellular Age Defense Day Cream

Blurb: A light weight, gentle, nutrient-rich moisturizer. Intensive moisturizing properties deeply hydrate all day long, keeping the skin looking and feeling smooth and supple. Enriched with a luxurious saturation of natural peptides, proteins and precious extracts from nature to improve the skin's cellular matrix promoting a flawless appearance. Technology: Torricelumn™ – Elizabeth Grant's superior moisturizing compound. Glycine Soya – rich in glycol proteins, it helps to reinforce skin tone and elasticity. Ceramides – help to reinforce the skin's natural protective barrier, improve long-term hydration and protect the skin from external influences. Sephora Extract and Kiwi Fruit Water – help to reduce skin pigmentation and even out skin tone. Clinical studies: 88% skin felt firmer, 82% improved elasticity, 91% wrinkle reduction.

I feel so unbelievably pampered when I use anything by Elizabeth Grant. The packaging is luxurious, and the feel of her creams and serums is out-of-this-world rich and velvety. All three products above feature the proprietary Torricelumn moisturizing compound and are packed with skin loving nutrients.

The serum has the highest concentration of the Biocollasis compound. I loved the way this felt (and the way it disappeared immediately into my skin). I looked a little smoother and my pores were less "pronounced." The eye cream is also fabulous. Rich and smooth; but still sinks in quickly and hydrates all day. I also noticed some de-puffing (very welcome now that all this August allergy business is starting up). The day moisturizer is absolutely heavenly. Since I have to be careful about breakouts, I probably can't use this all the time. But if that's not an issue for you, you will love using this. It feels amazing: velvety and hydrating as it goes on, then absorbing immediately. My makeup glided on over it and my skin was soft all day.

Haven't tried any of the Beauty and Fragrance yet; but I'm betting they're equally pampering and awesome. And there really is a huge selection: makeup, mud masks, bath oils, glosses…CANDY!

Happy Tuesday!

Pass the Caviar, Dahling…Elizabeth Grant Caviar (review)

Guess what? It's Wednesday. Not Friday. I don't know why this week seems to be crawling, but it is. Last night I could have sworn it was Thursday night (which would have made today Friday). Guess what? It was Tuesday night and today is only Wednesday (but you probably knew that already).

Once I figured out what day of the week it actually was, I needed to lessen some of the shock. Enter…luxurious skincare products! Yes indeed, I left reality behind for a little while and pampered my cranky Tuesday night face with some products from The Caviar Line at Elizabeth Grant.

Company Blurb: In 1958 in London, England it was most unusual for women to run companies. Not taking any notice of this, Elizabeth declared her commitment to share her remarkable skin care secret with people everywhere. Elizabeth launched her own skin care treatment line to share the secret formulation she had created. On the strength of her miracle blend, Torricelumn™, and her own determination and perseverance, Elizabeth evolved the company from a home-based business to a multi-million dollar global corporation.

Caviar Nourishing Mask (part of the Caviar Limited Release Kit)
This is a super rich, super moisturizing, creamy mask. It felt so good going on: soothing, velvety and cool. I smoothed it on, then wiped it off with a damp towel 20 minutes later; and my skin was fresh, soft and pretty. I could feel my crankiness disappearing. Since I'm prone to breakouts, I would probably only use this occasionally (it's extremely rich); but if that isn't a worry for you, using this regularly would probably make your skin amazing.

Caviar Rejuvenating Eye Pads
Blurb: Delivering unprecedented luxury in skin care, Caviar Rejuvenating Eye Pads target the sensitive skin below the eye with Elizabeth Grant’s superior formulation of Caviar Extract, sea proteins and Torricelumn™. Rich in Caviar’s Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Torricelumn™, Elizabeth Grant’s superior moisturizing compound, these eye pads improve the skin’s firmness and elasticity in the delicate eye contours. Caviar Deluxe Rejuvenating Eye Pads help achieve the perfect balance of nourishing proteins, vitamins, minerals, nutrients and moisture in the skin – effectively repairing wrinkles and delaying the signs of aging.

I could seriously become addicted to these. I placed them under my eyes and relaxed for 15 minutes like a pampered movie star. When I took them off and rubbed in the remaining liquid, my eyes looked and felt completely freshened up. I had also stopped scowling – which may have helped too.

Happy Wednesday (not Friday).
