MEANINGFUL BEAUTY By Cindy Crawford

Today I would like to talk about the "Meaningful Beauty" skin care line. Before I get started please remember that the information in this blog is my opinion. I am giving my opinion in order to help other consumers make an informed decision before purchasing something they may have questions about. Now, having said that, lets talk about the the product..

I ordered the meaningful beauty system because I wanted to decrease the size of my pores and make my skin look a little more vibrant (two of the many claims given in the infomercial). First let me me tell you that when you watch the infomercial be sure to read the fine next to the price and at the bottom of the screen. The reason I suggest this is because this product does not cost what it is advertised to cost. You will pay the price listed ($29.99) in 3 installments and your first payment will be more because of shipping and taxes. In total you are going to pay about $125.00 for a 90 supply of the product.

Does this product work? Well, it did not work for me. After two weeks there was no change in the size of my pores and I noticed that there was some discoloration on the lower part of my face. I continued to use the product for 10 more days hoping that my skin would even out and I would awake to the skin that was advertised on television. Sadly this was not the case. The discoloration of my skin got worse and could not be concealed by makeup. I had very noticeable white blotches on my face that remain today.

Once I realized that this problem was not going to get better I stopped using the product and called the customer service line to ask to be removed from the auto-shipping club. The customer service rep was very nice and she not only cancelled my auto-shipment but she took the lot numbers from the products that I received for documetation and she gave me arefund for $89.00 that I had already paid for the product. The discoloration on my face is getting better and I am only washing my face with water twice a day. For me this product was a flop and I specifically asked if this was a product that black women could use when I ordered it because I did not see any black women in the infomercial. The representative that took my order assured me that this was a product for all skin types and colors. In my case, she was mistaken. My advice is to use caution when ordering skin care products from infomercials no matter who your are. Your skin is too important to take chances with even if a super model indorses the product.
