Okie dokie, so yes, I've been pretty sporadic with posts the last few weeks and I do apologize. 2013 started out fun and productive! I've been busy with random things and the product reviews I have for you are piling up. I've been trying to decide what to bring to your attention first. I have mascaras and liners and brushes... so many things.
But before we go any further. I have to bring you this.
I'm going with this product first because it's the one I'm kicking myself the most for not using sooner. The photo above is actually of a trial version that I won* at Sephora when I got to 100 points back in, what I'm guessing is September. I tossed it aside at the time because I didn't think my skin could handle adding in a new product, but recently my skin and I have come to a great compromise in which I am good to my skin and in turn it lets me tryout new things without freaking out like a 3rd grader who just lost at kickball.
You guys know about all my new Winter Facial Skincare from Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. I've been playing around with all those products. Once I found a good routine I added this in because, well I'm ballsy I guess.
Night Routine:
Bare Escentuals Purifying Facial Cleanser
Bare Escentuals Cell Renewal Night Serum
Murad Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum
Olay Pro-X Hydra Firming Cream
Bare Minerals Pure Transformation Night Treatment in clear
Yes. I know that sounds like a ridonkulous amount of products, but this is my Dream Team of Night Routines. I admit to not using all these items every night. However, after doing that whole routine, I wake up with the best skin I've ever had. My skin is soft and smooth. My dark marks are lighter and my pores look a bit smaller. I don't have any flaky or dry bits. Nothing. It's miracle skin! For me anyways.
I started with this routine sans the Murad and it was working really well. The cell renewal serum and the night treatment were both really helping the moisture and texture of my skin, but when I added the Murad lightening serum, I saw a visible difference the very next day. In two days, the serum lightened my dark marks more than the serums, creams and treatments had done in the last few weeks and even months!
I haven't been using the Murad serum every night because I've been trying to ration this .25 oz trial bottle out as long as I can because of the full bottle's $60 price tag. I would say the trial is a full month's worth, so a full bottle would get you through a full 4 months, probably more, which makes the price seem not as ridiculous. Can you tell I'm justifying this purchase or am I so good that you believe me too?? Yeah, I like to believe me too. But we'll go with it in a few weeks when I'm done with this little miracle bottle and have to decide what I'm going to do from there.
I mean, the box says people saw reduced spots by 33% in a week and I thought, noo waaay. But way. WAY! There's a reason there's nothing for good reviews all over the internets about this stuff.
I'm so excited to have something that has claims on the box that I can get behind! Yes, I wish the price wasn't so steep and I'm going to keep looking out for this in some kind of kit form....all while I keep an eye out for a coupon I can use. All I know is, when I look in the mirror in the AM. I think. Fine! Take my money Murad.
