NeriumAD Review and Giveaway

Remember your beauty routine from high school?  If you’re like me, it basically didn’t exist.  I remember having a friend ask me what kind of face wash I used and I told her I just use Johnson and Johnson baby wash.  Seriously.  Flash forward 8 years (EIGHT?!) and my beauty routine is worlds away from the clueless girl who used four dollar no-tear infant shampoo on her face.  It takes longer, it’s SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive, and yet I look back at those pictures from high school and wonder why I don’t look that fresh-faced anymore.

Once you add something in to your beauty routine, it becomes a part of your version of yourself, and you start to feel naked without it.  Yet, if we look at where we started we’ve added so much unnecessary fluff to an otherwise simple process.  And for what?  That’s why, the older I get, the more I choose to use products that a) actually work b) are worth the price I’m paying and c) lift me up instead of weighing me down.  When Jessica from NeriumAD asked if I would like to try a sample, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical.  I am terrible at remembering to wash my face before bed, much less apply a pesky cream every single night.  Most of the time I call it a win if I remember to brush my teeth.  Real mom talk, right there.

However, when my 5-day sample arrived in the mail, I decided I would give it a legitimate chance.  And there was only ONE night that I completely passed out before remembering to put it on.  That should be the end of my review right there.  Because if I actually take the time to use it more than once, it must be pretty darn good.  Let’s go over the pros and cons, shall we?  But first, do you want to win some for yourself to try?

PROS:

– Smells nice

– You can feel it tightening your skin as soon as you put it on. I’m notoriously impatient and want the feeling of immediate results, and this blew me away.

– Washes off easily in the morning.

– Seemed to polish off old, dead skin in just five days and generate new growth.

CONS:

– A bit sticky in application, if you can remember to put it on every night. 😉

– I have super sensitive skin, so my face was a little red after removing the cream every morning.  However, I think after more than 5 days of use my skin would have adjusted and it would have been fine.

– Since I only used it for five days, I didn’t see a noticeable improvement in my “wrinkles”, but it definitely refreshed my skin and felt luxurious.

– I was given a free sample to try, but this is not a cheap product if you were to buy it for yourself.  It’s up to you to decide if you get what you pay for, or if your “wrinkles” are worth this much of an investment.

NeriumAD Review and Giveaway

{A big fat “ugh” for no makeup pictures.  I do think it’s worth it to note that my face is red in the After because I had JUST washed NeriumAD off on the fifth day.  Also, the breakout is mainly due to stress and not NeriumAD.}

A BIT MORE ABOUT JESSICA:

Nerium works like other direct selling programs, where you have an independent brand partner to purchase the product from.  Jessica reached out to Haute in Texas via our Facebook and she was a doll to work with.  My original sample was lost in the mail, but Jessica didn’t miss a beat and had another sample shipped to me immediately.  She is based out of the Fort Worth/Dallas area, but you can find out more about her online shop or partner opportunities here.  She joined the NeriumAD team after her kids were born to have extra income while enjoying the freedom to spend time with them.  That’s something I can definitely get on board with.

“I am so proud to be part of Nerium for so many reasons,” Jessica says.  “Nerium is an antiaging product with real science, real people, and real results.  Third party clinical trials show that NeriumAD Age-Defying Treatment provides an average of 30% reduction in the appearance of signs of aging.”  To find her Facebook page for more information, click here.

So there you have it, folks.  Nerium may be worth adding to your beauty routine if you’re starting to notice that worn down look in the mirror more often than not.  I know it definitely met my aforementioned list to make the cut into my nightly process.  But if you want to try it for yourself first be sure to enter the giveaway above and you might just win!

XO,
