Gale Hayman: Youth-Lift

Made in the USA 🇺🇸

This product was to use in the step prior to foundation. You apply a thin layer without changing facial expression and wait for it to set. It sounds like putting a clay mask to set your face.

This is a gel like texture cream with yellowish colour. I see no difference after applying it. There is nothing special about it. So I don’t think it is needed in my make-up routine.

Product Description

Youth-Lift, Hollywood’s “Face Lift in a Bottle, is a unique skin primer. Developed by a French Dermatologist, it was the first product developed in the Gale Hayman brand and a #1 seller. Beverly Hills coined it “a face lift in a bottle”.

The DIFFERENCE between Youth-Lift and all the other lifting products in the market place is that Youth-lift is UNIQUE like no other, because it gives you results in 3 MINUTES.

In 3 minutes customers will see fine lines, wrinkles and pores vanish. Youth-Lift contains 20% elastin and natural ingredients to firm the skin and form an invisible hydrating film that lasts until washed off. You can put moisturizer and or makeup directly on top. Youth-Lift will not streak or flake.

L’Occitane: Immortelle Divine Youth Oil

Made in France 🇫🇷

I generally don’t like using face oil. I find them a bit too oily for my face. When I received this as a sample sachet and it said that you can add a few drops to the moisturiser I found it is a great idea.

It made the cream more smooth when applied but also mask out the oiliness. The face looks smooth and feels supple.

It would be a nice addition if the price is not too dear.

Product Description

Highly concentrated in immortelle essential oil, which contains 2x more anti-oxidant than Vitamin E, Divine Youth Oil is a multi-usage skincare treatment that helps fight against visible signs of ageing. Helps fight visible signs of aging for a skin texture that appears firmer, as if plumped from within.

Its light, silky texture with a non-oily finish melts gently into the skin. Used daily, the skin appears nourished and firmer. Wrinkles seems reduced and complexion looks brighter and more even toned. Suitable for all skin types.

Nivea: Lip Balms

Made in Germany 🇩🇪

When I was still in high school, must have been at least 20 years ago. Nivea lip balms are my go to for winter days.

Recently I am not sure if they have changed the formula or not but I have bought a few from them and it doesn’t seem to work for me.

It does not have a natural feel but rather like a thin layer of wax. Sometimes it made me feel uncomfortable and slightly itchy or dry. Pretty much wasting my money. Now I have changed to Blistex and it’s alright.
