The elixir comes in a .6 oz container and retails for $58. There are seven varieties, which are made from fresh ingredients: exotic oils, botanicals, extracts, and vitamins, which are kept in small batches and reordered frequently to ensure that every bottle is perfect.
Some of the benefits of using the elixir, as stated on their website, are that it reduces fine lines and gives face a healthy glow, calms and soothes the skin, is noncomedogenic, and reduces redness and irritation, and promotes healthy skin with powerful antioxidants.
I chose to try the "Good Day Sunshine" elixir. The others are Hula Girl, Nightcap, Urban Girl, Skinny Minnie, Millionairess, and You Make Me Feel So Young. I chose Good Day Sunshine because I liked the name, and because I liked that it works to tone, brighten, and protect the skin throughout the day. This variety is good for all skin types, and is perfect for those who want to boost skin health, diminish the signs of sun damage, and protect and smooth the skin.
After using the elixir for a week, I can't say I noticed much of a difference in my skin's appearance. Given my age (23), I don't have any fine lines or wrinkles to worry about, so my main concern is the redness I get on my cheeks and nose. I was hoping that this would help to diminish that, but so far I haven't noticed a change. I have only been using it for a week, though, so I'm still willing to use this and give it more time. Since the elixir is oil-based, it glides on pretty easily and you don't need a lot. I just give one little squirt into my hand and it's enough for my entire face. It absorbs well and doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky, which I appreciate.
Bottom Line: The Think Pretty Beauty Elixir may seem pricey, but I think it's a good investment for those who are looking to remedy certain conditions on their skin. I would be interested to try the other varieties, since maybe there is one that would better target my redness problem. I liked using the elixir most as a moisturizer, and I love that it's organic and cruelty-free!

Update! Here is some more information from Michelle about elixirs that would work a little better to relieve redness, for those who might be interested:
The You Make Me Feel So Young Elixir does offer some relief from redness/dry itchies but it's definitely geared a bit more toward aging skin. Our Nightcap Elixir is absolutely fabulous for calming/soothing redness and irritation. We often recommend that one for gals with rosacea and/or over sensitive skin types. Our blend of Chamomile, Calendula and French Lavender mixed with Olive Squalane and Immortelle is incredibly anti-inflammatory and comforting - it's like pink bunny slippers for the skin!!
This sweepstakes is open to residents of the U.S. and Canada aged 18+. It begins today, June 24th, and ends on Sunday, July 1st at 12:01 AM EST. One winner will be chosen at random via the Rafflecopter form and will be contacted by email. They will have 48 hours to respond to claim their prize.
