anti aging update

OK here is my update for the anti aging products...I finally got the eye cream and the anti aging moisturizer with the serum I told you about. I still have no idea why it went to Jacksonville but thats ok....:)
I love the moisturizer. You wear it at night and in the morning and the serum is put on underneath it. The serum is clear and it needs to sit on your face three minutes and then you put the moisturizer on and it goes straight in - nothing greasy about it and it smells like oranges which I have to say I love....I am still really digging the Clarisonic machine and am using it two times a day. I think SYB is starting to want to use it too because it has a motor and beeps lol...The whole skin care regimen takes about 6 minutes which if it took any longer, I dont know whether I could really stick with it. I am not a gal that likes to take much time but I am someone who knew I had to do better. I dont know about you guys but I see a slight difference in the two photos I posted and I see a difference just looking in the mirror for sure. My skin is smoother and there are slightly less noticable wrinkles showing now. And after just one week on Clarisonic ( um ten days I guess really now) and a few days on the right moisturizer I feel I might be on the right track. At the very least I think it is making me take more time in my skin care and that CANT be bad, right?
I was not so great in the gym this week. But I did exercise and had off with my son for Spring Break. I am also eating better and sleeping more. This is all helping I bet....Anyhow, I am wondering where you guys can see a difference ( even slight) or whether I am just feeling better about it. Just curious!!BTW I know the lighting is a bit different but it is darker here a bit today so that is why the second photo isnt quite as light. I tried to make the rest as comparable as possible as far as no makeup and time of day and the angle...

Thanks...I am feeling pretty good about it now and seeing some results already really helps. I have also done a few things like changed my afternoon coffee to green tea and am eating more veggies and fruits. I havent lost any weight really (maybe a few pounds)but I just feel better. I didnt expect to see any results in my skin in this much time so I am pleased. Slow and steady is my plan on all of this.
Until someone says uncle I am posting a pic each week. You might be the only people to ever see me without make up THAT close up.

Thanks:) I was hoping it wasnt just me seeing it! The thing is I have never felt like I had bad skin but now there is a definite quality to it and it is smoother for sure. I also noticed this morning that since I started using that serum and moisturizer, my pores are smaller. That really changes how the surface of my skin looks up close.
I am still using the Bare mInerals stuff and love it. You use it too, right? How do you clean your brushes? Just wondering... I think I might need to find some sort of primer for their eyeshadows - do you use those too? It doesnt seem to stay but also my eyelids have veins and arent one solid color. I love the idea of using the whole line but using the eye stuff is escaping me for now....

You're welcome! And thank you too - I am so glad to know this isnt my imagination! I plan on doing this every week same time, same place until the men in the white coats take me away for posting pics without make up close up no less on the internet. I am a nut but I have a mission and I need input to keep me going.
Dont buy anything yet - just wait a bit longer to make sure nothing bad happens ....lol That's what I am here for!!:)

You are so right - we should get a group discount!!:)
or maybe you could send in your gorgeous girls ahead of you and ask if you can get a cuteness discount....lol I feel like I might be getting pregnant every time I look at your siggy.
Dont buy anything yet. It has only been a few days on the serum and moisturizer and I want to make sure that nothing adverse happens in the first few weeks. That's the whole point in me being the guinea pig! NO point in us all going broke, right?
I will post a pic and update each week on Saturdays. At some point I might have to post a pic of me dressed up just to repair my ego from all of these untouched, close ups of my bare face. but I think they are necessary in the name of science/vanity so there!!
