I was selected as one of the lucky few to taste test one of the new Hershey Spreads. Due to hit shelves tomorrow, the spreads come in chocolate, chocolate with almond, and chocolate with hazelnut. I was sent chocolate with hazelnut and couldn't wait to give it a try.
I am one of the very few people who have never had a chocolate spread before. I'm also one of those people who simply cannot eat anything sweet in the morning. So I was looking more forward to trying it as a dessert rather than on toast or as a midday snack.
I first tried it on its own, just having a spoonful. It was way too sweet. You could definitely tell it was made up of Hershey chocolate because it had that wonderful taste, but there was something else in it that made it too sweet to enjoy. I decided to try it with something else...the next day.
I put a spoonful on a homemade sugar cookie. Much better. But still, that one spoonful went a long way and any more than that was too sweet. I also tried it on toast and pretzels, but could only use a small amount.
Personally, I feel like it's too sweet for me, though the taste is great. But if you have a major sweet tooth Hershey spreads are definitely for you.
I kept seeing the infomercials but never gave it a second thought. Cindy Crawford advertising some skin care that's supposed to fight wrinkles and improve your skin. Thankfully, my good genes have prevented me from getting wrinkles (yet...I know the day is soon approaching) so I really never considered using it.
So when I received my sample of Meaningful Beauty Creme de Serum I was a bit underwhelmed. I don't have wrinkles. This wont work on me. Sure, my skin is a bit dry except on my t-zone, where I have to use pore strips every few days, but that's it. No way would this work on me. But I gave it a shot anyway.
The first thing I noticed is how little the directions tell you to use - just one to two pumps for your entire face. The next thing I noticed - how soft and light it was. Sure I've used moisturizers that were light, but this actually felt refreshing. I rubbed it in and went on my merry way.
A few hours later I happened to have a moment to take a breather during my busy day, and I lazily leaned on my elbow and put my hand on my cheek. My cheek felt SO soft. That's when I started acting like a crazy lady and started feeling the rest of my face. It hadn't been that soft in years. I touched my nose - no oil or tiny bumps. I was floored.
After using the serum for nearly two weeks I can tell a dramatic difference in the texture of my skin. It's so soft and I have yet to need to use a pore strip. I can't really comment on how it works on wrinkles, but if it works as well as it does on everything else I wouldn't be one bit surprised if the claims are true.
Will I take the plunge and buy another bottle when this one is out? For the results alone, yes. However, Meaningful Beauty needs to do one thing to make me a true fan - make it more of an organic product. As well as it works I am trying to stay as natural as I can when it comes to what I put in and on my body.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
