*CLOSED* Review & Giveaway! Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX Eye - My Highest Self

*CLOSED* Review & Giveaway! Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX Eye

There has been quite a bit of buzz on Instant FirmX Eye from Peter Thomas Roth* since Dr. Oz raved about it on his show this week.  He actually said that he will “never go on set without it again!”  Some folks on Facebook and Twitter were saying that the before and after photos looked Photoshopped and that they simply couldn’t be real.  Here’s a clip of the segment below:

This product is described as a temporary eye tightener and claims to “instantly tighten, firm, and smooth the appearance of crow’s feet, fine lines, and deep wrinkles around the eye area as well as diminish under eye puffiness.”  That’s a tall order!

As a Peter Thomas Roth* Skinbassador, they sent me the product to try, review, and share before and after photos with you all.  I also enlisted the help of my honey, Ray, for this little experiment!  He was a great sport and more than happy to help out.  He said he didn’t mind getting rid of some bags under his eyes, too!  The man works 12 hour days and gets very little sleep so he is forever sporting tired eyes.

We used Instant FirmX Eye(a translucent cream) as directed: sparingly applying a thin layer, remaining expressionless for 3-7 minutes while it dried.  You can actually feel the product working instantly, tightening the skin.  We both had a bit of white residue form on the skin afterwards and the directions are to just use a damp cloth to dab it away.  In my (and Ray’s) opinion, we both saw quite a difference in the look of the eye area.  We both saw less visible lines, bags, and puffiness.  Also, we did not experience any uncomfortable tightness in the skin after we had this on (like I have felt with some eye creams).  You know it’s there but it doesn’t bug you, if that makes sense?

I promise you that none of these photos have been touched-up in any way, just cropped to zoom in.  I hope you can all see the differences that the two of us see in person!  Some other great tips from Peter Thomas Roth:  Try mixing Instant FirmX Eye in with eye cream, concealer or primer.  This is on my to-do list for tomorrow!

In our experience, Instant FirmX Eye, worked wonderfully and came through with all of its claims for both myself and Ray.  This is a great way to take a few years off your face and will be amazing to wear under your makeup, too!  Having a smoother complexion always makes for a better foundation application, less lines for product to settle into.  At $38 for 1 fl. oz tube, I think it’s a great value.  Since it’s a very good size and you do not need a lot of product for each use, this tube will last some time.

The really good part:  All of you can get a chance to win one of your own Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX Eye!  Yes, PTR sent me TWO products by mistake so I’m giving the second one away to one lucky reader :).
