Watch My Results with Instant Slim Body Wrap + Face Lift + Lip Plumper - Beauty Haul/Review

* From here down, you'll find reviews and photos for the anti-aging product line from The Pure Body, as promised.

Everything that comes with the Instant Slim kit.

The Instant Slim Wrap kit uses all natural ingredients like bentonite clay that help detoxify and exfoliate the skin in an hour of use. The clay contains over 70 minerals that remove toxins known as adipocytes, which are stored between fat cells, causing cellular stress and problems losing weight.

It tightens, firms, and tones your skin while also directly removing toxins. The clay helps break down fat, improve cellulite and stretch marks, tighten and firm loose skin.

The clay is applied to the area you're treating (legs, waist, etc.) and the bandages are tightly wrapped over the clay-covered skin. The Pure Body recommends using Instant Slim kit at least once a month to help detox the skin. 

The loofah is included as a preparation tool, used with warm water to exfoliate the area beforehand so the awesome ingredients in the clay can better penetrate your skin. Speaking of ingredients, they include: bentonite clay, kaolin clay, caffeine, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 Citrulline, and charcoal.

The slimming clay.

Bentonite Clay is a volcanic clay used to treat skin conditions and remove toxins by absorbing impurities like excess oil and dirt, from the skin. It also exfoliates and improves circulation.

Kaolin Clay draws out impurities without removing the skin's natural oils. It also improves circulation, exfoliates, and cleanses. It stimulates circulation, which can help remove stretch marks and cellulite. Kaolin is suitable for all skin types.

Caffeine is used for its ability to increase circulation to the skin as a way to improve stretch marks and cellulite. It also helps improve absorption of the other active ingredients. Circulating blood stimulates the body's natural metabolism, helping you burn more fat.

Tripeptide-1  is a peptide that contains three amino acids - glycine, histidine and lysine. It helps to increase collagen production in skin cells when applied topically. Collagen is the fiber which holds all of the cells in your body together, so promoting collagen can help with wrinkles and firming.

Tripeptide-10 Citrulline another peptide that contains the amino acids - citrulline, aspartic acid, isoleucine and lysine. It helps to regulate the uniformity of the collagen fibrils which increases the suppleness of the skin. Tripeptide-10 mimics the function of a naturally occurring proteoglycan called decorin which normally regulates the uniformity of collagen.

Charcoal is a detoxification agent that neutralizes harmful toxins such as heavy metals and free radicals.

Side view - All wrapped up! Things got a little messy, as you can see I've managed to get the clay all over the bandage.

An after photo (taken after using the slim wrap.)
For me, the results weren't so obvious inch-wise. It didn't seem to shrink me or change my waist's measurement, but I did appear less bloated and my skin was more hydrated.

Lip Serum & Model Lash

Lip Serum and Model Lash pictured on the left.
 

The plumping lip serum that you saw me smearing all over my lips in my video quickly became my go-to lip serum, which I've been using in place of my regular lip gloss and lip balm.

 The Lip Serum hydrates and plumps your lips and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It stimulates the lips – without burning them. It contains natural ingredients like peppermint and shea butter. It also contains Vitamins A and E for healthier skin.

It smells like peppermint and the taste is subtle and hardly noticeable, but somewhat sweet. Once it dries, the taste disappears and its just like wearing nothing. The lip serum does have a minor plumping effect and leaves my lips hydrated and with a cooling sensation. I love the subtle, natural sheen it gives my lips once dry. It's not like lip gloss or chap-stick. It doesn't leave a greasiness or any residue. It absorbs completely.

If I apply a lot of the lip serum to my lips, the cooling sensation can become quite tingly, but not uncomfortable.

It's be intensively moisturizing because it's kept my cracked lips totally smooth moisturized and soft, even when it wears off.  I'm impressed because it does better for my lips than Burt's Bees!

I love this lip treatment because as I've been having some visits with the tanning bed lately (using red light therapy bulbs on my face), I'm  concerned about the lines and damage that over time, shows up around your mouth.

I've been applying this lip serum on a daily basis for a couple of months now and I love it!

Model Lash

The Model Lash gel is used to increase the length of your eyelashes. It contains "lash-stimulating peptide complex to support the lash's natural renewal cycle making the lashes thicker, bolder, and healthier. Enriched with active ingredients, Model Lash will leave your eyes looking younger, revealing visibly longer and fuller lashes." - The Pure Body  

It also conditions the eye lashes and can be used on your eyebrows.

I have fairly long lashes, but enjoyed using this during times when my eyelashes could use some length. Just like all hair, eyelashes fall out occasionally, too, and it can take a couple of weeks before mine get nice and long again, so this seemed to be useful especially during those times when my eyelashes needed a boost.

Unfortunately, there really isn't a way to measure lash growth, so I can't put any numbers on how much they may have grown, but it appears to help them grow quicker than they would without using the Model Lash.

Model Lash is a clear gel that's applied the same way you would apply a liquid eyeliner, making sure to swipe across the lash line. I used it on the top and bottom lashes and was really pleased at how long my bottom ones seemed to get after a few weeks of regular use.

Even after a couple of months of not using the Model Lash product, my eyelashes are still longer than ever, so I feel like with regular usage, the results will be fairly lasting.

Miracle Eyes and Instant Lift

The Miracle Eyes and Instant Lift creams are some of the best I've used for a quick lift. I can't say that the results are permanent, but applying collagen to your skin could end up having some anti-aging power for the long term.

"Miracle Eyes is a natural formula designed to rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes, giving them a younger refreshed feel and appearance. Within weeks’ fine lines and wrinkles will be visibly reduced, skin will feel firmer, look brighter, and be visibly rejuvenated." - The Pure Body

It reduces puffiness, tightens, lifts, firms, and moisturizes skin while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Another plus is that it helps fade blemishes and some dark spots.

This is a before photo, taken before applying any of the creams. The shadows and darkness under my eyes are pretty noticeable here, and in the following photos.

 I snapped a few more quick after photos, which are posted below. I have to say, this was really tough for me, taking photos to post online. I'm pretty much cringing at the thought of even posting these. I normally don't get too down about appearance because I don't want to spiral into that ugly place of picking out perceived flaws like we tend to do to ourselves. However, I was pretty horrified by what I saw when I focused closely on my face at the time of these pictures... With that said, I hope you folks will understand that I couldn't bear to do any closer-ups or super bright photos for this.

 The above two photos are taken before using any of the products. No cream on my smile lines, no Instant Lift, no Miracle Eyes. 

After...

Awkward facial expression aside... The after photos above were taken after I applied the Miracle Eyes to the right side eye and Instant Lift applied to my smile lines. The reason for only applying the Miracle Eye cream to my right eye area was to help give as accurate of a picture as possible of the results. The dark shadows under my eyes are probably the hardest to resolve, but I'm pretty satisfied with the smoother and brighter appearance of the deep circles.

I apply the Miracle Eyes all around my eyes, paying special attention to the shadowy, dark circles that are especially noticeable when I'm under stress and not getting the best sleep, which is exactly the kind of conditions I was facing when I took the before and after photos below.

"Instant Lift is a clinically-proven solution for fighting signs of aging. it contains Argireline, the safe and effective alternative to Botox, proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles instantly. It also contains Gatuline Expression to reduce crow’s feet and fine lines, Pepha-Tight to instantly tighten the skin and Trylagen to promote collagen synthesis for firmer, younger-looking skin.

Instant Light tightens, lifts, moisturizes and firms skin, helps smooths fine lines and wrinkles in as little as 5 minutes. It's supposed to have a 50-90 % reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles." -The Pure Body

It also reduces the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks and rosacea.

Instant Lift is a great all-over moisturizer with some lifting power. 

I focus on my smile lines or "marionette lines" when I apply the Instant Lift since those are the most noticeable lines I have. They do kind of bother me, so I use this to try and help smooth them out and prevent them from becoming more prominent. 

The Miracle Eyes and the Instant Lift both have a noticeable sensation, like a lot of powerful "plumpers" often do. It doesn't sting or burn, it's just noticeable. I suppose it occurs from the skin beginning to "plump." Some days I notice the sensation a lot less than others.

The results also seem to vary depending on how severe my dark circles and smile lines are every day. Some days, the lines and the under eye circles are harder to conceal.

When I look in the mirror, I always feel like the Miracle Eyes and the Instant Lift make somewhat of a difference, even if they don't fully erase the eye circles. The eye circles are most likely related to lifestyle, nutrition, etc. so a cream can only do so much on its own.

My eyes look brighter and the shadow under them seems less noticeable to me after I've used the Miracle Eyes. It also looks like the tiny creases are smoother. I also feel a tighter sensation under my eyes after applying the cream. 

The Instant Lift seems to also work for smoothing out some of the creases under my eyes. I'll normally notice that my smile lines around my mouth are less pronounced for up to a few hours after applying Instant Lift to the area. 

Hydrofirm 

Hydrofirm is a luxurious, rich cream that contains peptides to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It gives skin a collagen boost, which promotes skin cell renewal.  It also tightens, lifts, and firms skin.

Hydrofirm contains the "safe and non-toxic alternative to Botox called Argireline. In clinical studies Argireline has been proven to reduce the depth of wrinkles up to 30% after 30 days of use." - The Pure Body

Since Hydrofirm is such a deeply hydrating cream, I like to use it all over my face, paying special attention to the extremely dry areas, including blemishes. I would actually slather this all over my entire body if it were possible... and affordable! It's truly the best moisturizing cream ever and I just love having an exceptional moisturizer that doubles as an anti-aging cream.

Once again, here's the photo after I applied Hydrofirm to my smile lines (and also Miracle Eyes to my right eye area)

 

Hydrofirm is a perfect everyday cream to prevent and improve signs of aging, moisturize. I love that it goes on smoothly, leaving little residue and no scent on my skin. It sits well under both powder and liquid foundations, so it's easy to use everyday. Additionally, it also keeps my skin glowing and my pores less noticeable.

Hydrofirm is my favorite cream for hydration and anti-aging.
