This post was sponsored by Meaningful Beauty as part of a Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.
As many of you know, this year marked the year I hit the big 4-0. I have to admit, I was really proud of myself for not completely freaking out. Age is relative. I don’t really feel 40. Mentally, I don’t feel any different than I did in my 20s. Sure, I’m a bit wiser and all. I read like a fiend, so I’ve definitely amassed a larger collection of random facts in this little head of mine. Body-wise, I have more aches and pains. Then again, I’ve had back problems since I was 13, so even those aren’t new.
One thing I have noticed changing over the recent year? My skin. The changes are subtle, not as noticeable to others as to me. I’ve always had good skin. No matter what else was going on with my body, I could relax knowing at least my skin was in great shape. Lately, though, it’s been so dry. Not just “oh, yeah, my skin gets dry in the winter too,” dry, but “Sahara desert” dry. My skin looks duller too, and not as even. The weird part? It’s only on one side of my face. The right side. The left is still pretty fantabulous. What’s the deal with that? Maybe it has to do with blood flow? Or the side I sleep on the most? In any case, I need to really get more serious about my skin care regimen, because the right overtakes the left!
Get Cindy Crawford’s Secrets to Great Skin with Meaningful Beauty
Who better to help us achieve great skin than someone who has mastered it herself? Cindy Crawford is just about 9 years older than me and she still looks amazing. She shares her secret to protecting and renewing skin with the Meaningful Beauty skincare line. I just received my package right around the holidays and got started on trying it out. In a little bit, I’ll share my final thoughts with you on how well it works, but for now, check out my first impressions!
First, a little about the Meaningful Beauty line. The system is designed to deliver powerful antioxidants, vitamins and marine extracts to your skin. Together, these ingredients fight free radical damage, enhance your skin’s radiance, moisturize and firm your skin. If you use it as directed, the Meaningful Beauty formulas are designed to help smooth the appearance of those fine lines and wrinkles, brighten your complexion and preserve your skin’s existing vibrancy. The products will also help protect from environmental damage. All within about 4 weeks!
I love the simplicity of the packaging. It’s elegant and graceful, taking up only as much space as it needs to on your bathroom counter. I don’t like wasteful packaging. I have such little space in my bathroom as it is.
I also love that the package came with Cindy Crawford’s Daily Routine, for both morning and night. The routine comes on waterproof paper, so you can take it in the bathroom with you (although I don’t think I’d take it in the shower!). My favorite part of the routine is when I get to pop open these pretty Wrinkle Smoothing Capsules!
Hey, who said skin care couldn’t be entertaining? At night time, I love when it’s time to use the Creme de Serum, because it’s just so pretty!
Of course, it’s not just pretty to look at, it actually combine the power of a serum with the moisturizing effects of a cream. You have to admit, though, it is pretty neat looking!
The Meaningful Beauty line isn’t heavily scented at all. I want to say that most of their products are actually unscented, but I can’t be 100% certain. To me, though, the majority of them have the light scent you’d expect from the ingredients within, kind of like how when you buy unscented lotion but it still has that faint lotion scent? Does that make sense? It’s definitely not overpowering. You’d have to really stick your nose up to it to notice it (which I did, so I can tell you what it smells like!).
As far as texture goes, everything glides on so smooth that you don’t have to use a ton to get full coverage. In fact, the first time I burst one of those little capsules, I thought “there’s no way this will cover my problem areas!” It really does, though! I’ll be using Meaningful Beauty over the next couple of weeks so I can tell you how it works longer term. I’m hoping to restore some elasticity and softness to my problem areas and get my overall tone a bit more evened out.
If you want to try it out along with me, head to the Meaningful Beauty website to learn more and to order your kit for just $39.95. Check out Meaningful Beauty on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to keep up with news.

I have heard such good things about this program. It sounds like it’s a real winner.
I am currently using Meaningful Beauty products and my skin feels so much healthier than when I started. I haven’t noticed a huge change in wrinkles yet but it does seem to be improving them.
I just hit the big 4-0 myself and you’re right…subtle changes are starting to occur. I need to get on a good skin line. They say prevention is easier that having to repair your skin. I’ll have to look in to this!
This sounds like an awesome line of products to try out. Those wrinkle smoothing capsules do sound cool and I love the serum.
I’ll be checking back, I’d love how you like the brand long term.
I am always looking for new moisturizers! I should check this out.

Wow I can’t believe this product is still around…I used to use this like 10+ years ago… it was quite good if I remember correctly!!
Skin care concern? Dry skin! I have this kind of problem eversince.
I see the commercials for this all the time, and I must admit I am intrigued. Not to mention shocked by how incredible Cindy Crawford looks! I think I need to order some of this.
Seems like some wonderful skin care products.
I will be sure to mention this to my sister.
I have tried the Meaningful Beauty Creme De Serum. It is really a great product.
Oooo these products sound great!!! I’m going to have to look more into them! My skin sucks during the winter due to cranking the heat 24/7
Wow these are great! I think my wife would love these!
Souds like you’ve discovered a great product! I really need to start paying more attention to my skin as I’m going to be 37 this year 😀
I’ll be 40 in a couple of years and I feel the same way. I feel just like I did in my 20’s, but I’m noticing a slight difference around my eyes. I’ll have to try these out!
wow, sounds like a great product to try. Great review! I would love to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
This is great! I always have really dry skin in the winter and I haven’t seen this product in a long time! Thanks for sharing!
I hear great things about this product. I will have to mention to my mother who has not been happy with her current skin care.
sounds very interesting do to a celebrity skincare routine in your home! i’v never heard this brand before but would love to try it out!
I am 48 and I am always looking for new skincare items to try.I do not like heavy scents in my lotions so this sounds like a good brand to try.
I have used the Meaningful Beauty products, and although there were a few that I really liked, I did not find that the expense was worth the results it gave. Just my personal opinion.
