Previously I wrote about Biotherm's Blue Therapy Serum, and I am so happy the expertise of this amazing formula has been brought to the eye zone. ( see Blue Therapy Serum post here -Blue Therapy Serum Post)
Blue Therapy Eye combines the aquatic -orgin of trio ( Extracts of Pure Thermal Plankton, Macro-Algae L.Ochroleuca and
Micro-Algae A.Flos-aquae. with a blend of four ultra perfromant eye association, Flavonoid, Amino acid and 2
Peptides.
Together this fantastic formula helps reduce the appearance of dark circles by favouring the elimination of pigments, darkness is visibly faded, skin looks more plumped, smoother and more radiant and signs of ageing are also visibly repaired.
The texture of the formula is amazing too. It looks like a rich cream, but as you put it on your fingers, it melts like water on to the skin, and is incredibly light weight. Which is a trade mark for biotherm as you will find majority of their advanced skincare is incredibly light weight but very powerful.
Blue Therapy Eye, is more than just an ordinary eye cream, it is applied to the extended eye contour too. Applying it on the upper cheeks, the middle of your forehead ( the bit between your eyebrows ) and the side of each of eye.
A simple application technique is used to help target wrinkles, firmness and darkness by a 3 step application ritual;
3-step application ritual :
1. WRINKLE ACTION: “waves movement” - palpate-roll on wrinkles to smooth
2. DARK SPOT ACTION: “bubble movement” - pinch dark spot to reboost micro-circulation
3. FIRMING ACTION: “crab movement” - circular movement to replump the skin.
I have used this for 5 days now, and already i have seen my eye area smoother, more radiant and brighter. I don't suffer from bags but i have the typical shadow as i call it, under the eye area ( where the eye area is thinner than the face, the appearance of the blood vessels can appear though ), the appearance of this has been a big improvement!
Blue Therapy eye is available instore now, 15ml size pot RRP £32.

So who are Brevity Beauty? It was only a couple of weeks ago I had heard of them, and via twitter!
They had contacted regards to trying out their 3 step cleansing system, and as I love trying new products especially beauty products, you can imagine I jumped at the chance in doing so.
I am not sure when the company was founded by Sue Jones but the background into the products and name of the company is a wonderful story - with Japanese connections and Shakespare ( Brevity Beauty - History and Philosophy
The Shakespare part is the the word Brevity, derived from Polonius’ speech in Hamlet where he stated “Brevity is the
soul of wit” . Brevity Beauty's ethos is “Brevity is the soul of beauty”. Brevity
means brief, quick and certianly their regime is breif and quick. Which for some of us with busy lifestyles will love without having to compromise on quality and effective skincare regime.
Ok, so what is in the products that makes it so effective yet quick? - Marine Collagen! combined with licorice, geranium and Hyaluronic acid which are all renowned for helping reduce
fine lines and wrinkles, diminishing pigmentation spots and firming the
skin.
The 3 Step System:
1) The Cleansing Lotion
2) The Conditioning Bar and Lather Net ( unique and fun to use )
3)The All in One Moisturising Gel
When I received this, I was wondering what the net was for, and it this that makes their 3 step rather unique and fun to use. However, I will explain usage in a second. The Brevity 3 Step uses a double cleansing system and a combined toner/moisturiser. The cleansing lotion removes any makeup efficiently and effectively. Apply this to your hands and massage into the skin, than cleanse away with water. You than place the cleansing bar into the net, wet with some warm water and rub the net between your palms to create a foam. Take the bar out, and squeeze the net with one hand from top to bottom to remove the foam onto your hands and massage foam onto face ( do not use the net on the face ). Then just rinse with water and pat dry. I found my skin beautifully squeaky clean - but not drying like soaps can be. It felt gentle but definitely effective.
Once you pat dry, apply the moisturising gel all over face and neck. The texture of the gel was lovely and my face felt moisturised afterwards.
I have placed the video of how to use the products, as it is best seen!
I have used it for 4 days now, and I haven't any problems with it. My skin has felt really clean, soft and moisturised after using the products. I also liked the fact it was quick, all 3 steps took less than 5 Min's to do, and as mother, and I work full time too, a regime like this is great.
As someone who works in the beauty industry, I know you really need a good 4 weeks to see real improvements on your skin, although some results like I have mentioned are seen instantly, for results on wrinkles, lines, tone of skin etc you would need at least 4 weeks. I would recommend using the products, as they have felt really comfortable on my skin and would continue to use to see the longer term results.
Price wise, I feel they are very reasonable, falling in the same category to other premium brands that offer similar products in terms of marine, or anti ageing.
I believe as I write this, Brevity Beauty are still offering samples out to try their skincare - if you follow them on Facebook or Twitter.
