I want to start by saying that I really, really wanted to love the Bremenn Research Labs Upper Eyelid Lifter. I wanted it to work splendidly on me, so that I did not have my eyelids hanging down to my lashes anymore.

Unfortunately, that is not the case.  I’ve used the product for over 2 months now.  I can’t say that I have used it 100% religiously, but it’s really been pretty darn close.  While I’ve read complaints in other reviews about the amount in the tube, I can’t add to them.  After two months of almost 2x and sometimes 3x daily use, I still have a goodly amount left.  So I would rate it well in terms of quantity of product for the price.

I also would rate the method of delivery well.  I like the pump action tube, and I did not experience any wasted product with it.  As mentioned in my youtube video, the tube is recyclable, which is a huge plus for me.  I hate to shell out big bucks for a beauty or skincare item just to find out that they could not spend the extra cents per item to use environmentally friendly packaging.  The tube also stores well, as the surface of the cap is flat.

The viscosity is great, and I love the cream itself from a moisturizing perspective.  It’s got some great ingredients in it, and really does perform well in terms of hydration.  But so do a lot of other products, and I did not buy this one to use as a moisturizer.

I bought it to see if Bremenn Research Labs had come up with a miracle in a tube. The final verdict is that for me, they did not.

Here are some before pics that I took after about 10-12 days of using it:

I’ve got some flash throwback on those, but I don’t think it effects the ability to see how the upper lids sag down appreciably.

Here are pictures taken today without any makeup:

As you can tell, I have serious sagging issues.  So someone who is just beginning to experience lack of firmness or who has it to a lesser degree might do very well with Bremenn Research Labs Upper Eyelid Lifter.

As always, if you’ve got any questions, please ask. Until next time, beauties!

Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System

When you take that fact, add in that 49 is looming on my personal horizon, and I am really self conscious about my eye area, I got really excited when looking through this week’s Sephora mailers.  If they don’t have it by the time you read this, they are soon to get the Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System.

In case you’ve not yet heard of this, here is a promo video that explains it a little.

Granted, that clip is a commercial, but I almost salivated when I saw the demonstration on one of the models. Could this thing really work as well as they said that it did?

At $245, if you live in my economic world, the price is downright scary. I just did a small amount of quick research to get some more information about the serum that they are using. It appears that this is not going to be a product where you can substitute another (insert cheaper) serum to go along with it. Math isn’t my strong suit, but if I am figuring it correctly, if you buy one and see good results, the serum is going to cost you $400 a year to use. That alone makes my bank account wince. However…if I tried it and it worked, I probably wouldn’t think twice about the serum cost.

If you live near any of these places, you can go check the Opal out for free.

What are your thoughts on this?  I know I shouldn’t want something that costs that much, but I do anyhow. ~lol~  If any of you are able to go to one of the salon parties, or if you have seen the results of the Opal first hand, please let us know how it works.
