Meaningful Beauty has dominated the world of Infomercial for many years by now. I admit I was apprehensive to use this product back when it came out. However, being a beauty researcher I am, I ordered it, read and researched the ingredients and was very impressed with the outcome. Meaningful Beauty does not contain the latest innovations such as Matrixyl (their Line Diffuser in a Capsule has it though), Hyaluronic Acid, Kinetin and peptides those are Chanel's and Kinerase's Dept. along with other highly expensive brands which offers potent ingredients in their products. Yous ee ladies, you do get what you pay for. I use CHANEL's Hydramax for my Hyaluronic's moisture source and Kinerase for my Kinetin's potent ingredients. Mineral Beauty does contain soluble collagen, SPF 20 which in today is still the strongest most effective anti-aging beauty armor there is, as well as renewing properties which sort of gradually renews your face as you use it, including but not limited to anti-oxidants which plays a vital role in protecting us from free radicals. You got to have anti-oxidants before you use the SPF properties since the latter is a free radical itself so the anti-oxidants in Meaningful Beauty mixed with its SPF in it are both helpful in maintaining a youthful self hence they are called maintenance 1 and 2. And again, applying SPF without using anti-oxidants is a big NO NO since SPF is a free radical itself. You must use anti-oxidants activated to the SPF which Meaningful Beauty has. I use the entire line including the glowing serum known for its renewing properties and protein ingredients, scrub which is a no non-sense expoliator, masque which gets rid of your dirt and oils and this masque contains marine plants from the sea which are known for their relaxing properties. The toner does a good job in cleaning up residues and maintaining the PH balance and making the spores smaller while the eye cream works wonders so over all, and Extreme Moisture is a potent moisturizer. Considering its price, I think Meaningful Beauty is one of the good beauty product available there is, of course, you might want to use it in conjunction with other beauty products that offers the latest innovations like Kinerase or Prevage. About Guthy-Renker's payment policy, you can stop the auto payment anytime you want, no joke you can even buy them on eBay. Needless to say, it's effectiveness as a product doesn't have anything to do with Guthy-Renker's payment policy which I think users are in control anyway. In a nutshell, Meaningful Beauty does work.

I've been using this for about 2 weeks now as of this writing and the strength of the retinol in it is highly noticeable in comparison with drugstore brands. It boasts green tea polyphenols, caffeine alongside other anti-oxidants. It is meant to be used only at night before bedtime. I use it in conjunction with other moisturizers at night like Prevage, Q10's etc. It enhanced my skin's texture by gently exfoliating-renewing it which made it easier for my other creams to penetrate my skin more effectively and its definitely worth the buck as a little goes along the way or you'll peel your face off lol.

Simply the best blow dryer I've ever used. Fast, efficient and professional looking outcome. Worth every dime and paid for itself considering how much money I saved on electricity and by blow-drying my own locks... Mother earth must love it too since it burns less fossil fuel by cutting your blow-dry time to nearly 90% of a traditional blow dryers... It's surely the Hybrid of all hair dryers and did I mention how pretty it and how light it is? It's PERFECT!

This compact foundation is so sheer and ridiculously luminescent. I certainly can't leave my house without putting this in my kit. The sheer coverage feels so good on the skin, something about it that feels good when applied. Its great for touch ups too and compliments my other CHANEL foundations. I use the fluid formulation in the morning which gives a rather natural look. After all, who wants to look heavily made up in the morning? And then I use the compact to touch up during the course of the day till evening. This compact makes my face sheerer. This is truly a fascinating sheer type, a wondrous makeover in a compact. It's buildable and really beautiful. The only downside is of course it's pricey but its Chanel. You really get what you pay for since a little goes along the way. It's the only compact that does not make my dermatologist fume about wax buildup as I believe there isn't. I'll check on that one. Make sure you don't wet the sponge. The product needs a dry sponge to apply or else you'll waste it. The whole idea of this compact is the sheerness. I use non-latex sponge replacements from CVS. Totally worth it ladies. Don't forget, it's Chanel and the packaging is the icing on the top. Heeeehayyyyy... :)

The uniqueness about this Bronzer is the easiness of its blend-ability and the beauty of its shade which gives you that healthy glowing look versus looking dirty and smudgy with other bronzers in the market. The light reflecting pigments and tiny bit glittery effects gives a rather young look. Now, who doesn't want that? I use t his on my face, neck and decollate to compliment my teint innocence makeup. I don't tan and yet this Bronzer give me that Sun Kissed Look ala Young California Skinny Girl Oh Sooo sexy...

I have used this product in c conjunction with a setting powder for about 3 years now (Libre Universelle De Chanel Setting Powder), and as the day goes, I touch up lightly with the Chanel Teint Innocence Compact Powder formulation. The compact is supposed to be applied lightly as a little goes along the way and same goes with this fluid foundation. It gives a radiant luminous glowing effect from its light diffusing ingredients and it contains Sunscreen Protection which is the most important and effective anti-aging beauty creation manufactured to combat the damaging effects of the free radicals. Overall, this makeup is luminous, natural and perfect to its shade that makes you look younger.

Chanel Poudre Universelle Compacte Natural Finish Pressed Powder
A good investment for mademoiselle's pretty face...
Bonjur Mademoiselles :) I love how simple this item is and it feels good pulling it out from the kit when you're touching up. I think it's awesome. Chanel set the standards too high as always...

Cleverest Concealer! Smooth, Rejuvenated, Beautifully Refreshed Eyes from a CHANEL bottle!
Wow. This concealer truly works wonders. It made me look and feel rejuvenated and that Tetrapeptide therein truly works. I wasn't gonna buy it since I do not really use concealer and since I don't have much fluid under my eyes and dark circles but I tried it on at the store when I bought the Lift Lumiere Foundation and the concealer gave me that rested look and the shades are so easy to choose from so I decided to purchase it. Overall, the appearance of puffiness especially in the morning is gone and my dark circles gone so you get that beautifully refreshed look. Perfect when you want to look less tired when you lack sleep. Amazing, amazing, amazing! Truly the cleverest concealer in the market today.

Firm, Flawless, Smooth Face from a Fabulous CHANEL Bottle! I saw the advertisement first in a beauty magazine and then an e-mail directly from CHANEL so I was extremely intrigued excited to buy this foundation and try it on since it promises Hydration, firming/lift and smoothing. The shades are really easy-bendable while the bottle is same as the bottle of Pro Lumiere only this one is taller and in a clear plastic which makes it lighter than the Pro Lumiere. Needless to say, the product is kept sealed and fresh and since the bottle is lighter, you can even put in your purse for retouching during the course of your day. The product when put on gave me that smooth effect and the LIFTOPTIC complex coated with the Mica (which we know diffuses light) as well as the silicone powder in it reveals a youthful glow by giving that capture-diffuse light effect. My fiance` complimented my face and told me how young and smooth it looked. The firming polymer also gave me that lifted sensation and my face was suppler, firmer and an outstanding even tone to the skin. The Lift Lumiere formula smoothed away any fine lines and so it gives that glow of youth. This is not oil free but that Camellia Oil is known for its nourishing properties and it gives this makeup that creamy texture and provides that sense of smoothness and comfort when applied. Overall, the result is a natural makeup with a subtle satiny sheen. I think I found myself a keeper. I love my Teint Innocence both the liquid and the compact, as well as my Pro Lumiere but Lift Lumiere has that firming, smoothing and hydrating effect so those are a big PLUS. It is truly more than a foundation, this unique formula is an excellent skin-caring makeup.

A little goes a long the way. You leave this on for 2 minutes and it coats your hair with glaze color like. It is so mild that it makes my hair feels so soft. The icing on the top is, it does smell like as if you went to the salon. Definitely worth the bucks...
