			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hardly ever watch TV. In fact, Peter and I don&#8217;t even have cable. (This is when I usually watch my friends gasp and prepare myself to answer a bajillion question about what I do with my spare time.) But when they changed TVs so that in order to watch regular non-cable programming you needed to have cable or some special converter box, Peter and I decided to invest in a box to satisfy our house guests. For a few days, fascinated by our new channel selection, I watched more frequently. One day I came across an infomercial for Cindy Crawford&#8217;s Meaningful Beauty. I was immediately interested and then as the price stared plummeting I quickly became skeptical&#8211;until it fell so low (I&#8217;m sure you can hear it in your head, &#8220;BUT WAIT!! If you buy right now we&#8217;ll take this $150 value and give it to you for for $19.99&#8243;) that what I would be getting would actually be cheaper than buying beauty products from a grocery store. Immediately I turned off the TV, walked away, and told myself that if the deal was really that good then I wouldn&#8217;t be getting so much for free.</p>
<p>A few days later, I drove down to visit my mother and in her room I saw this:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-852" title="Cindy Crawford Meaningful Beauty Review" src="http://www.startingoutsavvy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/cindy-crawford-meaningful-beauty.jpg" alt="cindy-crawford-meaningful-beauty" width="300" height="300" />I found it hysterical that my mom (who also almost never watches TV) saw the same infomercial and also thought that the product sounded like a great deal. Apparently Meaningful Beauty works on a system of automatic renewal so my mom had ordered a shipment and before she&#8217;d even made a dent in it she had another one at her doorstep. Being the kind person that she is, she gave he second set to me.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I was immediately put off by the renewal system because I hate it when companies try to get me to spend extra money, but the products themselves turned me off even more. Imagine <a href="http://www.clinique.com/templates/products/spp/index.tmpl?ngextredir=1&amp;CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY14112&amp;PRODUCT_ID=PROD3304">Clinique&#8217;s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion</a> in a formula that clumps so much that you feel like you are pumping buggers into your hand. This is the best way I can describe the night cream. Most of the other products seemed no different than a simple lotion. All in all, I would not spend money on this product. This formulas used for these lotions are unimpressive and they probably rely on the renewal scheme to ensure multiple purchases.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Has anyone else tried Meaningful Beauty? Maybe you liked it more than I did.</p>
