Day 23….Christmas Eve Eve!

Today’s advent treat was 5ml of Studio 10 Miracle Effect Serum.   The claims of this product make it one I was keen to try out and given the price tag I thought maybe this is some amazing stuff!  I’ve read mixed reviews on this and it is literally one end of the scale or the other.  People either love it and say it is amazing and others simply say it is a waste of money!

This serum is £68 for 15ml!  Just over £22 for this 5ml sample alone, I really thought this should work!  (Not that I expect miracles from any product!)

It is quite a thick serum dispensed by a pump and 2 pumps is enough for the whole face.  I can only comment on a first impression so the packaging is neat and having the pump dispenser keeps the product hygienic.  Despite being a thick serum it is absorbed pretty quick.  As for noticing a difference within 15minutes (confirmed by 100% of users…) ….nope!  Didn’t happen for me anyway!  I’m not sure what I was expecting but some kind of reaction perhaps?    That said I can’t say that it had any negative effects on my skin either so in terms of what it may do to help my skin in the long term…jury has to be out on that one as this is purely a trial of it for the sake of a first impression.   I’ve been wearing this for a few hours now and my pores across my nose do feel a little smoother than normal so perhaps it would be good to try under makeup.

Have you used this?  Did you notice any immediate effect?
