An #EclosBeauty review and a giveaway!

*This giveaway is now over and the winner has been drawn!*

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of éclos Skin Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
It's not often when I have the opportunity to write a review on a product that I actually get the chance to try it out first, so when I was given the chance to try out éclos Skin Care, I jumped at it.
I'd never heard of it before, but the fact of the matter is- i've tried just about everything on my skin and have been completely dissatisfied thus far, and i'm at the point to try just about anything.
About a year or two ago, I started noticing my skin changing, and not in the good way. My skin looked tired, and the lines in my forehead that I had always noticed (I overexaggerate facial expressions regularly) had deepened to the point where they bothered me ALL the time. This was unacceptable. I tried wrinkle creams and serums, lotions potions and everything short of magic, and I honestly did NOT see any kind of difference for the amount of money I was paying.
I received the Eclos package in the mail and was intrigued, because the formulas were nothing I had heard of being used before.

To break it down for you- Eclos is different because it uses plant stem cells extracted from a rare Swiss apple (Uttwiler Spatlauber). These stem cells encourage aging skin to behave like younger skin.
In addition to this, Eclos is enriched with PhytoPlex24, a proprietary complex of plant extractsm vitamins and antioxidants known to work to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and tired skin- while also improving your complexion.
JUST what I was looking for- IF it worked that is. I was skeptical to say the least.
The kit came with a LOT of products, I was slightly overwhelmed. I have a ritual for my face, but nothing so intensive- but I read the instructions and used everything I was told to.
What it came with was the following:
Facial Cleanser Skin Prep- cleanses skin, removing makeup and debris, and promotes cellular rejuvenation
Cellular Activator Face Serum-  awakens dormant skin cells and enhances their ability to work like younger skin
Instant Radiance Facial Scrub- polishes away dry, flaky skin while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles
Restorative Eye Cream- reduction of the appearance of fine lines around the eyes
Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream- tightens sagging skin and slows aging
Skin Renewal Clay Mask- detoxifies and clarifies skin, unclogs pores, and absorbs impurities

I have been using all of these products for about two weeks now, and I have to say that I am in LOVE with this skincare line. And I don't say that about much. My skin feels different, more awake, younger and brighter, and the lines I was SO worried about on my forehead have been reduced to the point where for the most part, I don't notice them much anymore. And this is only after two weeks!
I don't have fine lines around my eyes, but the cream definitely made the skin around them look younger, the scrub got rid of my dry skin, and the mask just made me feel fresh.
My favorites are the Facial Cleanser, the Regenerative Cream, and the Face Serum. They just leave my face feeling so young and smooth.
Here is my before and after (which honestly, you can't see much because my camera just plain sucks- but trust me, there is a HUGE difference that even my husband noticed)

And now- I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to give a kit just like the one I got (a 19.99 value) away to one of you!
All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on my blog telling me which product from the Eclos line YOU are most excited to try. I have also added a widget to give you the opportunity to earn extra entries.
You can enter from 5/26 until 6/1 at midnight.
