UPDATE: RESULTS post - Monday: Ready, set, go with Nerium A.D. skincare

UPDATE MAY 3, 2015
Ok- I absolutely love the Nerium AD night cream-it works so well when applied to wet skin, worked in, and paired with a night cream. I would definitely order this stuff!
The day cream: hmm, not much to report here, other than not much moisture and not much sunscreen.
The firm cream: again, not much to report-it's been almost a full month and I have not noticed a difference in skin tone or texture.

End update!

Hello Gorgeous,
Happy Monday to you sweet beautiful!
 The Passover and Easter weekend was full and amazing. Much adventure and good food was enjoyed.

Now, it's back to the grind of daily life with homeschool and gigs and the impending Arizona heat!

In the meantime, Makeup University is getting ready for an event on May 16th in Hollywood that is a passion project of mine as well as the Ipsy sponsored Generation Beauty event at L.A. Live. So excited! Be sure and follow on Instagram (@CherelynnBaker) for you chance to win a ticket to the May 16th event!


 Ok, now let's look at Nerium A.D. skincare: I have the day creme, night creme and Body Contouring cream. I have just started my tests for this week and will be writing more soon.

In the meantime, here's the low down on the brand, from the brand!


First, let's talk about the night creme from Nerium A.D. skincare. Personally, I tend to favor a night creme more than a day creme because they can pack more intense ingredients than a daycreme.

Here is what the brand says:
