For some odd reason, while the rest of us age, Cindy Crawford miraculously continues to look like she walked right out of that 80s Pepsi ad. Well, at least her skin does. Now, she's divulging her secret to turning back the clock with Meaningful Beauty®, a comprehensive skincare collection that promises to hydrate, protect, and firm.

As much as I wanted to dive right in to her new 5-Piece Advanced System, this Beauty Gal is a bit backlogged in the skincare department. (I like to try things for at least two weeks.) However, I had the perfect beauty junkie in mind. She's in her mid-40s, and was on the hunt for a wrinkle blasting regimen. Here's what she had to say:

When I was asked to try the Meaningful Beauty 5-Piece Advanced System, I thought, 'Heck, if Cindy Crawford is behind this, it's worth a shot!" Who wouldn't want an anti-aging line with Cindy Crawford espousing the benefits?

When I received the kit, I was impressed at what was inside: a cleanser, eye cream, a serum that comes in a unique, see-through bottle, a day cream (with SPF, of course), a neck/decolletage cream, and a bonus set of glycolic treatment pads.

The first thing I noticed, right off the bat, was that all of the products 'felt' high end. They're thick, and there's no heavy perfume-y scent. (So far, so good!) But if they don't soften lines or help diminish dark circles, who cares…right, ladies?

I used the entire kit for 3 weeks. The serum and day cream were comparative to other high quality products that I've tried. However, as anyone over forty knows, it's the eye and neck creams that warrant special attention. I fell in love with the thick, neck cream. It seemed to stay in place all day. My neck actually felt more 'dewy' and supple. Did the lines actually go away? I don't really know, but you definitely don't notice them as much, and my neck feels a lot better. I wasn't great about putting it on my decolletage, but I'm hooked on the cream, so I'm about to start bathing in it.

In terms of the eye cream, I actually think my dark circles are a tad lighter, and my crow's feet slightly diminished. Maybe part of the reason is that the cream allows my makeup to stay put and not settle into the lines. Either way, my eyes look better!

All in all, if you're looking for an anti-aging regimen, and you're wondering if Cindy is just hyping the product, I have to say NO. The eye and neck creams can really make a visible difference in how your skin looks and feels!
