Ever like just lay on your bed eating frosted flakes out of the box and wish someone would just tell you what to do because it just takes too much energy to look up stuff, like, online and in papers?

Restore & Renew / Fact or Fiction?



Since Boots brand No7 Restore & Renew Beauty Serum was highlighted on the Today show there has been a huge media frenzy. Stores are selling out - women are waiting for hours for 1 bottle - 50,000 people waiting list.

( yawn )

So I decided to look it up online today and noticed that it is sold at Target and CVS stores here in the States.

( Stretch )

Then I decided to walk the 2 blocks to the CVS around the corner from work to see if they had it in stock. I was expecting to find a line around the block. Hmmmm...
I walked right in and purchased the very last bottle on the shelf. Kismet? Perhaps, or maybe the frenzy is just hype to make people go out and buy more junk that we really don't need. Anyway - I bit the bait and am now the proud owner of my very own bottle of Restore & Renew .

The directions claim that you will see a big difference in skin tone and texture within 4 weeks. Well my dears, I will do a follow up exactly 4 weeks from today to let you know if this hope in a bottle is worth it.
