It's a restorative serum made by Boots, and the only beauty product that I swear by. I've tried everything from Clearasil to Creme de la Mer, and nothing lives up to it's advertisment promises. Except for this.
It hasn't made my skin perfect and dewy, with a complexion kissed by a thousand roses. I don't look Photoshop sleek. But what it does do is make my skin...better.
It's smoother. Softer. More even. I seldom wear foundation these days - I just slap on some concealer here and there and a little powder, and I'm good to go. I've been plagued by problem skin since I was a teenager, so feeling this confident about how I look is a big deal for me. If I stop using it for a few days, I can tell the difference in my skin texture almost immediately. It's actually rather eerie. (It's also a hell of a lot more affordable than Creme de la Mer, only about $20USD at Target.)
And it's not available in Australia.
So when my awesome stepmom Myra asked me what I wanted sent from the States for my birthday in January, I didn't hesitate to say, "Boots No. 7, please." Yeah, it was a weird request, but Myra is fully aware that her youngest stepdaughter is a few pecans short of a fruitcake, and she sweetly packed some up and shipped it overseas.
There's only one problem.
I'm out.
Totally, completely, 100% out. I've squeezed and squished and smooshed to the best of my ability, but that sucker is empty.
But, luckily for me, not only is Myra awesome, but she's about the BESTEST STEPMOM EVERRRR. Because this lady sent me not one, but TWO bottles of Boots No. 7 for my birthday.
Because she's awesome like that.
P.S. No, this isn't sponsored by Boots. I wish it was.
Oooh, I'd so give this a try once I use up my Skinceuticals stuff!
