From Beautyfix 1: MLab Anti Aging Treatment Cream

This was my first experience using MLab products.  I have had my eyeballs on them for quite a little while, but have never forked over the money to try it.  I have several friends who rave about the MLab eye cream, and, well, frankly I try so many eye creams that it surprises me when one actually does something noticeable (although, I have to say, my eyes look better than some of my friends that are my age…lol  sorry), but this one I really understand to be amazing and is at the top of my “try me” list (I need to post that list, huh?).

So, in the first Beautyfix, I had the opportunity to try a deluxe travel size of the MLab Anti Aging Treatment Cream.  This cream has an abundance of active ingredients in it, a lot more than your average anti aging cream.  The smell is pleasant, not overpowering or too “mediciney” which is a problem with some anti aging creams.  You also just need the tiniest bit of this cream to cover your whole face.  When you put too much on, which you will at first, rub it on the tops of your hands.  They need anti aging help too. 

I have been using this cream for most of a month now, and not only does my skin look great, but it is clearer than it usually is.  I am not sure how to take that other than I am 100% sure that it is NOT breaking me out at all, which can potentially be a problem with rich creams, for my skin anyway.
