Well I have to tell you, I was ECSTATIC when this miracle product arrived at my door!! In just a matter of 3 days, I accomplished 'ripping' that puppy out of the box, sped through the directions, and began. I decided to share the results of this wonder with you, friends, so perhaps you too, will be as impressed as I was!!
1. They tell you to take a before picture of yourself. Here is where it gets scary. I try not to look in the mirror too often, let alone take a picture that focuses on my face! (I'm not Amish or anything, it's just that the practice of "looking away" works so well for me when I get a shot, I figured it would work just as well when I started looking in the mirror and saw my father staring back at me! Especially the jowl area (refer back to the 'bloodhound' section, above. If my ears start to droop, we're in deep trouble folks!!) Okay, so, always one to follow directions, I washed my face and snapped a picture (WARNING!! The following may not be suitable viewing for peri-menopausal women...Yes darlings, you are headed in this general direction)
UGH...You can clearly see how time, gravity and allergies have taken their toll...Sad really - Look away - It's not as painful.
And now, the amazing part. You turn this thing on and run it all over your face (AFTER applying this miracle PRE-FACE stuff they send you with the product. I ain't gonna lie to ya friends, it stings! Oh, I'm sorry, I mean, it TINGLES (per the instructions). (Wow, that picture is like a bad wreck! You WANT to look away, but you just CAN'T!)
ANYway, I slopped the stuff all over my face, "paying particular attention to the eyebrow area. Start at the bridge of your nose and work your way out (using the orbital bone as a guide (? - huh! Didn't know there was anything 'orbital' about me!)) to the edge of your eyebrow. Hold for 5 seconds and release. You will see an IMMEDIATE lifting effect, making your eyes appear lifted and more open!"
Is it me, or should I put a pipe in my mouth and call it a day?
You have to admit - It looks like SOMETHING is working!!
They also have exercises. Let's just say I decided the exercises were optional. I'm not sure I want to look like Popeye for the rest of my life (or possibly Mammy Yokum), but then I still have the OTHER half of my face to do, so let's move forward....
WOW. The results are FANTASTIC! TOO fantastic, I'm afraid. Now I look like Bette Davis. YIKES. At least Mammy Yokum fits my personality!
Well, you can't say my eyebrows don't "appear" lifted. I wonder how long this will last?? It is also clear from this picture that my jowls have lifted, giving me the appearance of a chipmunk rather than a hound dog!
Alrighty then! I've FINALLY found a product that really does do what it says, and does it better than it promises! Maybe if I turn the dial down a notch or two.. I'll let you know how THAT works out!
