Sigh. When it comes to infomercials you could sell me anything-literally anything. I can't even count the hundreds maybe-thousands I've spent on things I saw on an infomercial. I am sad to say that it happened again. I'm ashamed to admit the number of times I've seen Cindy Crawford's Meaningful Beauty Skin Care Products Spot & every time I look at these women who are older and get getting such wonderful results I think to myself-"this stuff truly has to be amazing" so I went on the website -just to check it out & they had a great special gift & I though to myself how can I not buy it...so...I broke down and bought it. In addition to my infomercial problem, I also suffer from yet another a terrible habit, I always read the reviews for products after I buy it! A huge red flag for me would have been the fact that there were maybe 15 or so reviews for the skincare line on YouTube-Oh my gosh! How great could this product be if, I couldn't find anything about it on YouTube?! Well...I'll tell you! First Meaningful Beauty is touted as an Anti-Aging System that is designed to turn back time or slow it down if you're not there yet. I'm turning 24 this year & I'm dealing with fine lines under my eyes, so I decided it's time to really start focusing on keeping my skin youthful so that when I am older I won't be fighting to undo-the aging process-because we all know-that's next to impossible. Cindy Crawford alleges it is the skin care products she herself uses. The Meaningful Beauty Collection were created by a Dr. Sebugh, a world renowned skincare specialist, using a "rare French melon" -that is never actually identified in the infomercial. I opted for the 7pc starter kit & it was priced at around $46 because it came with 2 extras but they have another option the 5pc kit for $39.95 and both kits came kit a Skin Polishing Brush at the time that I purchased it. Shipping was fairly quick, I ordered it on a Sunday and it arrived the next Saturday (so just under a week). The packaging is really nice-it was one of the things that drew me in. The Introductory Kit is suppose to last 30 days, I've been able to stretch mine a little longer than that though, I say about 6-7 weeks is about what I got out of the system. Inside the kit I received the Cleanser, the day cream, which has an spf of 20, glowing serum, a night cream, a firming eye cream, an eye enhancing serum, a firming neck and décolleté cream, a clarifying mask. One of the biggest things that I liked was that-it came in a set with everything I needed for skincare so I didn't have to go from store to store picking up cleanser here, eye cream there, night cream at another place. I really liked that convenience. The Cleanser-I've literally used twice but each time it left my skin so dry and rough I decided to toss it out! Instead I use Philosophy's Purity Made Simple Cleanser. The Meaningful Beauty Cleanser is one of the only products I really dislike in this line of skincare. The Night Cream-It's just wonderful! Very rich and moisturizing-just as a night cream should be, a little goes a long way which really helps the product last. It does leave the skin looking a little bit greasy-it doesn't feel greasy just gives that appearance which a little annoying but not really a huge deal. The Glowing Serum-I have to admit that I thought this was just a bottle of crap they'd thrown in to make the line of products sound more appealing. Alone on my skin I notice no difference what so ever, however this applied under my makeup looks amazing-I do notice a healthy just vibrant glow that makes my skin look amazing when I'm wearing the glowing serum-if I re-purchase any of these products hands down it would be this serum. The Firming Eye Cream & Eye Enhancing Serum-They are both very moisturizing and I have noticed my concealer doesn't crease nearly as bad as it use to-which I take a sign that my fine lines are diminishing somewhat-hooray! I don't think that these creams or serums are any better than ones you can purchase at a drug store though. The Firming Neck & Décolleté Cream-I used this product once and then I got a horrible rash on my neck and décolleté area-so I've got nothing on this product! Sorry! The Mask-Cindy Crawford, claims to have used this on her wedding day to make her skin look great for her big day & I'm not sure why. It's just a mask, I noticed absolutely no results, my skin didn't look or feel any different after the use of this product so, I definitely could live without this one! I can't say that I noticed anything overly special about these products-they in my opinion aren't miracle workers but they are fairly good products-honestly I'd say that they are right on par with drug store products like Olay's line of Anti-Aging products. Meaningful Beauty does however offer the convenience of putting all your skin care product needs into one complete set & delivering them straight to your door! I am still on the fence about whether or not I'll be repurchasing this, since I only use 3 of the 7 products daily. I'd definitely recommend the line to friends but I'd definitely have a quite a few brands above it on the list of products to try, but as far as basic skincare goes it's a pretty good system. I can't speak for it's anti-aging benefits, I don't have any real signs of aging yet but maybe I can attribute a small part of that to Meaningful Beauty, I imagine as with any skin care routine, consistency in vital to seeing the results you want & 30 days is hardly enough time to tell, so if your patient enough to wait for results give this a try-it's not the worst products I've ever used! I've also heard so many horror stories about getting un-enrolled in there auto-ship program-so beware of that if you're thinking of trying this-I set my next delivery for 20 weeks out so that I could test out the product and then decide if I want re-order and 20 weeks is more than enough time to get my auto-shipping cancelled. Of all the reviews I've read- I read more about how awful it is to cancel the program than I do about the quality of the products. As for my skin care needs now, I'll be trying out more of Philosophy's line of product I hear their line of products are suppose to be wonderful. Let me know if you have any questions or anything about the Meaningful Beauty Line or if you had a better experience with it-I'd love to know if it worked or didn't work for others!

I get so many compliments on my "glowing" skin & I know that its all due to this bronzer! I was under the impression that on my skin tone bronzer wasn't a product I needed but Ulta was having a sale (darn you Ulta & your sales!!!) so I picked this up. I love that it isn't sparkly, I'm 23 I don't want to walk around glittering all the time but this just gives my skin this wonderful finish. As long as they make this bronzer I'll be a life long user!

Everyone has been raving about the Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System & how it changed their skin & I frankly had a hard time believing that it could make such a big difference-I just couldn't see it. But after watching review after review of people just saying how wonderful it is-I knew I had to try it! So I purchased mine from QVC because they had a great special & all I have to say now is I LOVE my Clarisonic-I can't believe it took me so long to purchase it! It should be as mandatory in a skin care routine as a good cleanser! I purchased the Mia 2 which has 2 speed settings & the T-Timer. It feels like a mini facial-I wish it lasted longer than a minute! I will fully admit that I am one of the skeptics that thought-why would I spend $150 on something that cleans my face when my hands are free? The very first time I used the tool, I can't say that I really noticed anything, but the very next day I skipped using it as I was contemplating sending it back and my skin felt well...kinda dirty! I couldn't believe it-my skin didn't feel the way it had the night before and it felt like I still had makeup and stuff on my face-but it was exactly the same way I'd cleaned my face for years & I use a lot of products to clean my face-I use makeup remover wipes, a cleanser and then an acne cleanser! So I cleaned my face again with Clarisonic & I was sold! My skin felt cleaner! If you're having doubts about whether or not to spend the money on this tool do yourself a favor and just buy it-your'e wasting effort trying to decide. I will say that I heard lots of people complaining of breaking out after using this for the first time and I too got a few new pimples when I started using it but I don't know that it's the Clarisonic's fault-but it did happen to me too. You can use this with any non-abrasive cleanser you like which is wonderful that you aren't limited to a specific brand. It's rechargeable and waterproof so you can use it in the shower and you never have to worry about buying batteries. I feel like I could go on and on about this tool but the bottom line is that it's wonderful and everyone should own one-you will love it.

I used an entire tube of this Dark Spot Corrector in an effort to fade prior acne scars and help with my hyper-pigmentation & I can't say that it didn't work. I loved using it and will definitely repurchase. It gave my skin a kind of glow almost and it was extremely hydrating. I used it morning and night & got about 8-9 weeks of use from a single tube-a little goes a long way with this product. I'd like to think that I saw a little bit of results with this corrector and if the results weren't imagined there was only a slight improvement. I think with continued use results would be more noticeable so I intend to add this to my skin care routine as a staple & will keep you posted on the results, but for a product that I didn't necessarily see with results with-I really liked it (which for me says a lot about the product) and I'm hopeful!

I really like this cleanser! It leaves my skin feeling great and very clean! I use this in conjunction with my Clarisonic and my skin just feels so soft and amazing! I couldn't agree more with the reviews that say this cleanser doesn't leave your skin feeling dry or stripped. I also love just adore it's packaging! The one negative of Philosophy is it's cost but it's well worth it and a little goes a long way which is great so you don't have to replace it frequently & QVC always has deals & steals on this line of products so there are ways to save! If you've wanted to try this line but just aren't sure, I'd tell you to not even think twice-you'll be pleasantly surprised!

I noticed that my teeth were just looking blah-so I picked up this toothpaste-I'd been using a whitening kit previously but I didn't think it was doing anything so I decided to give this a try! Holy Cow! I noticed a difference within a week! My teeth were whiter and definitely brighter but I could not believe how AMAZING they looked in photos! Literally blinding ( in a good way)! This toothpaste is fantastic-if you are looking for visably noticeable results-don't hesitate to pick this toothpaste up-it's the truth!

I have been fairly impressed with this tool since I picked up 6 weeks ago. I got mine at Target for around $20

Talk about magic in a bottle! This lotion is so light weight yet mositurizing it's amazing! It absorbs quickly doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy or sticky and doesn't have a strong scent-which is great! Put this on before going to bed at night and in the morning during your shower your skin feels like heaven! The price is truly it's only negative @ $10 a bottle-it's more than I want to spend on lotion but after trying cheaper but "comparable" brands, I knew there's was no match for Cetaphil, so save yourself time and money testing out others & pick this up!

This is a decent brush-definitely worth having in the brush collection. The brush is only $1 which is fabulous but it's super stiff-not in a good way stiff either, the first time I used it-it hurt a little scratching my eyelid. Holds onto the shadow color pretty well. All in all for it's price is a good brush. It gets the job done.

This is the darkest liner I've ever used & it looks amazing! It makes your eyes look so bright because of it's wondrously black-black. It's got awesome staying power & isn't all over your face by the end of the day. Goes on easily. Awesome awesome eyeliner. Could potentially be too much if you're going for a lighter-look but hands down my fave drugstore brand for dramatic sexy eyes! FABULOUS price too at only $1.
