Hey awesome ones, Heather here...hmm you know it seems like I'm finding more
wrinkles every day. Are you feeling the same way? You know I've got now some
nasty wrinkles above the lip, of course the eyes are wrinkling up and anyway I
have found three products and I can't wait to share them with you and they're
solving well at least helping some of my
problems.
So just before I get into this video I just want you to know that I've been
kind of on the hunt for I don't know a bit of an upgrade shall we say with my anti
wrinkling products. And I did see and I did purchase
a StriVectin it was an NIA 114 anti-wrinkle cream and I had seen it
advertised on the Home Shopping Network kind of Channel and I thought to myself
okay let's give this a go. Well if any of you believe in the law of attraction
I was trying these products and I think to myself oh I gotta share this with the
awesome ones this is great cream and I could actually sort of see that...well
maybe not immediately of course but it was working the wrinkle anti wrinkle
cream was working...it was working and what happened was
StriVectin they contacted me and said hey would you like to try out a few of our
products. So let's cue the music. (Heather sings the Twilight Zone theme) lol
Hey so this is a sponsored video by
StriVectin and about StriVectin and the three products and as most of you know I
very very rarely ever do a sponsored video. So I'm going to give you my true
review and let's take a look at number one. Oh and by the way I didn't just get
these products and say okay I'm gonna do a review. I have had these products for
months and I have been trying them daily. So let's start with their...it's called an
anti wrinkle double fix for lips and it's a plumping and vertical line
treatment and how clever are they to put those two products in one kind of
applicator. So let's talk about the plumping part of this applicator and as
you know there are a lot of plumping for lip kind of lipstick products that
really irritate your lips and they, because I know I've used them,
they are almost burning your lips and this doesn't have that in it. This goes
on very very gently and I put it on at night and really it's got these hyaluronic
filling spheres...anyways it's something inside here that really helped
to...they really make your lips kind of softer and a little bit plumper. I mean
you're not going like you know you've had injections. But I really like this.
Now one of the things that I did with this was I put it right beside my
nightstand, like it's right on my nightstand beside my bed and that way I
don't forget to put it on every night. So this really helps to give you you know
healthier looking maybe a little plumper looking lips and you know if you got
thin lips like I do it's definitely a help. And here's the applicator here. I
don't know if you can see that there's a white end and a grey end and what you do
is you pull out the grey end and as you can see it's it's kind of like a gloss
and I put this on at night but also you can put it over top of your lipstick and
I'm going to do that right now.
And that way you're helping to treat your lips during the day. Now I actually
remember the moment I was just putting on lipstick in the car and under the
hush er harsh real light of day I saw them. The vertical lip lines and I went...NO
So I'm really glad that there's a product that's targeting those nasty little things and
it's the white part of this if you just sort of pull it off here and you can see
you've got a nice little brush right there.
And all you do is you apply it over top of your your lip line and then you
smooth it out and it really it's got ceramides and peptides in there and
truth be told I also go a little bit into my marionette lines because I'm
thinking to myself wouldn't hurt. Now I've got to say that this lip plumper
lip plumper I can't talk today. but anyway I really feel that it's really
doing a great service to my lips here. They're not as dry they're not cracked
and right now I'm doing this you know when the furnace is on and so usually I
do get that, so it's a really nice treatment. About the upper lip a visible
line helper, I'll tell you something, I I'm 64 years old right now and I have
been moisturizing since I was 18 and I really feel that putting this on every
single night and having something that's targeted for those visible lines that
are up there is really helping and it does seem to be smoothing things out
somewhat and I don't have big lines to begin with but I certainly don't want to
keep them all dried up and make them more wrinkly that's for sure. And
speaking about keeping wrinkles at bay let's do a presto change-o and take off
all my makeup. Okay I'm just really trying to keep it real for everybody.
So yeah this is how they're with no makeup on. I won't even go...I think I
said this before...I won't even go to the grocery store without my makeup, but for
you guys the awesome ones of course I will do that for you. Let's talk about
the eyes. Oh my goodness my eyes have changed from big and bright to hooded
and droopy and I actually did a pretty popular video on hooded eyes and what
I'm going to do at the end screen of this video so at the end of this video
I'm going to put a link there that will teach you how to put on your eye makeup
and make them look from drab to fab. Anyway let's keep going here. Now
I've always put on night cream but I usually just kind of use the same night
cream for my face and then just put a little bit on my eyes but if you really
notice your eyes the skin here is a lot thinner than let's say your cheek. So I
was really kind of excited when StriVectin sent me the gel cream for the
eyes and this is called the advanced hydration...hope I said I say this right...
Hyaluronic Tripeptide cream and when I got a little bottle or the little jar
I thought well that's pretty small but then I found out that really a little
dab'll do you. Do you remember that commercial? So let's see how this goes on.
So I've kind of learned the hard way with this that if you put on too much
well basically you're just wasting it and if you notice here I don't know if
you can see that that this has been lasting me for months and you know I've
still got months and months left. So it's not really just a little jar and I'm
just gonna apply some now and maybe Bill can do a close-up. You can probably
notice like I do have the wrinkles and the hooded eyes and everything and
that's about all I need for this. There you go.
And it goes on like butter but it's not greasy like butter. So let me just see.
I'm just going to look down a little bit so I apply it properly and it's so
oh my gosh like it just it feels like my eyes are literally just drinking this up
and when I go to sleep at night it's not coming off on my pillow or anything and
I also go a little bit on the sides here because that's where the wrinkles live
but I don't know if you can see that it actually like I've got more folds in my
eyes before I put it on and then after the cream goes on I don't know if you
can notice but there's less folds with my eyes and it's really silky smooth. Now
if you're wondering what Hyaluronic... I hope I'm saying this right...Acid is,
well it's a molecule that can hold a thousand times its weight in water. So
it's really really nourishing and then they have the patented NIA 114 which is
a product that also helps nourish your skin and also there's antioxidants in
here. So a lot of good stuff. So as I said it just feels like my eyelids are
drinking in this cream and along with of course the treatment that I do at night
for the upper lips and the lips as well. And you know what? I'm going to continue
using these products. I quite like them. But let's continue.
Oh and just before I get on to the third product I think it's really important to
tell you that PETA has endorsed this product so StriVectin is a PETA and
I'm going to read it just so I don't get it wrong. It's a PETA certified
cruelty free paraben free and again I hope I'm saying this right
phthalate free brand. So you know anything called a phthalate I don't think that
sounds like it's good for you, but anyway I'm also going to have a link below in
the description where you can go to StriVectin
and you can purchase these products. So there you go. So as I said before it's
time for me to do some upgrades to my routines and one of the things I wanted
to look into was a new primer and StriVectin has an anti wrinkle blur factor
wrinkle blurring primer. Now what does that mean?
So underneath our foundation we need something that actually kind of blurs
and fills in our wrinkles. So it's kind of a protective coat if you will
underneath our skin. It also helps not have the foundation just go into the
skin completely and on my last few videos actually several of them I have
been using this primer underneath all my makeup. Now again this has the
NIA 114 and what that is it's it's patented by them and it's a mixture of
niacin and b3 and it really helps to strengthen the skin and also really kind
of smooth out those wrinkles. Now I only use a drop of this and it's interesting
they even show the little drop on the side for reference. So you don't want to
use too much of this and again so I'm just going to put a little bit here,
that's probably more than enough for what I need and that's what the product
looks like inside and here we go. We just sort of put it on but it just if you can
if there's anything I think that feels like silk this feels like silk. It's I
can tell that it's kind of forming a protective barrier from that foundation
and you know if you put on too much foundation and you don't put on a primer
well first of all your foundation doesn't wear as well but also all these
little cracks and crevices the foundation is heavy inside and this is
just helping to blur and fill those wrinkles in. Now if you're thinking to
yourself oh my gosh her face turned really red yes I have
sensitive skin and after about five minutes the redness all goes away and
I'm completely fine. And so I'm going to give these products a thumbs up and I
also like the fact that they're award-winning and also that they're
cruelty free. So as many of you know I'm a little bit on a mission. I really
really want to help all of us women on this kind of aging journey to be all
together and I want to formulate a private community. I also have almost
ready to go a program for everybody and the program is on self care, skin care,
fashion and and healthy eating. All kinds of different things. So really interested
in helping us get our groove back. So last week I asked women to put in, 'Yes
Groovy' if they thought they would be interested in such a thing and so if you
didn't do that last week and it kind of sounds like something you'd like to be
part of, just put Yes Groovy in the comments and also I want to know if
you've been trying out theStriVectin products because I really do find them
wonderful and helpful and you know and if this was something that maybe you
think that you might want to try out. And talking about wonderful let's bring in
the cuteness factor who many of you think is so wonderful and he is he's a wonderful
little guy and when little Hurricane comes on the scene he reminds me to talk
to you about upcoming videos. And don't forget about our second channel which is
youtube.com/AwesomeOver50inspiration where we talk about healthy
eating, healthy living, travel, holiday plans and a lot more. And over here on
this channel and hey don't forget to subscribe there's a button below and
don't forget to click on the bell and then you'll know when I'm getting going
on that program that I was talking about, but over here you know I really want us
all to feel no matter what age you are, more vibrant,
more relevant and I really want to keep on talking about skincare, self-care
maybe a little bit of an animal print fashion and a little bit of lipstick. So
I want us all to embrace this chapter of our lives and you know also show our
daughters that were not like our grandma's and we can offer so much to
this world and really rock this world and keep it awesome.
