APLB Glutathione and Niacinamide Body Lotion Review X YesStyle


So happy to be back with exciting new products to share! Today, I'm sharing Korean beauty brand  @aplb.global 's Glutathione and Niacinamide Body Lotion 💦 "Mild Ingredients with the best results."

This luxurious body lotion contains so many fabulous ingredients, including 12.5% Lipo Gluta Niac Cen (glutathione, niacinamide, centella asiatica leaf water), which are designed to moisturize, tighten, brighten, soothe, and calm the skin. Other notable ingredients are tea tree extract, rice extract, eggplant fruit extract, and asiatic acid, just to name a few.

Nice light, but hydrating consistency is key!

Skin is left as soft as a baby's bottom

The lotion is lightweight, fragrance-free, and absorbs easily into my skin. I appreciate that I can get dressed right after applying, as there is no greasy residue left behind. My skin feels so soft, smooth, and hydrated. It's also tighter and looks younger since I've been using it.

This lotion is suitable for all skin types, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. ❤️ 💙 💜

Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F Triple Eye Serum Review


@thisisbutterly and Lancome sent me Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye to test out, and I have to say, it really delivers results for me.

The new Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye offers a high-performance anti-aging concentrate and features three formulas with SNK-peptide, a new tripeptide to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Let's dive in and learn more about this fabulous new serum and find out what my results have been like.


From Lancome:

Rénergie makes the impossible possible with a patented bottle in mastering a unique actives combination. Incompatible together, each serum is protected in its own chambers against light exposures and impurities for high-performance anti-aging efficacy in each dose.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

A revolution in eye care. The high-performance anti-aging efficacy of Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum now calibrated for eyes. Three incompatible and potent actives: Hyaluronic Acid, C+Niacinamide, Vitamin F united in one potent triple dose, augmented with SNK-Peptide. A concentrated and precise combination of ingredients engineered to target the full eye contour. Results so visible that you would think impossible without a procedure:

✓ +8% eyelids look lifted

✓ -31% appearance of fine lines

✓ +13% eye area looks firmer

✓ -15% Under Eye Puffiness

✓ -12% Smooths Crow’s Feet


I have aging and very hooded eyes (50+). After the first use, which was before bed, I woke up the next morning to much less hooded eyes, so this product clearly has some immediate effects. The skin around my eyes stays hydrated all day and night when I use this serum, which really helps my aging eyes look more youthful. The appearance of lines and wrinkles around my eyes are also softened thanks to the amazing hydration of this serum. Lancôme recommends pressing the under-eye area and lifting the skin gently toward your temples to help depuff the eye bags and optimize results. This application tip does help reduce under eye puffiness as it helps with lymphatic drainage.

I've been using this serum AM and PM with no other eye products. I don't need additional moisturizers around my eyes because this product really does it all. It has a lot of slip to it, so you only need the tiniest amount for each eye. It spreads out easily and hydrates the skin around my eyes immediately. It doesn't burn or sting my eyes so I don't have to be careful when applying it. And, because of how little product is needed for each eye, this product should last for quite a while. 

I have really been enjoying using this product and am very happy with my results thus far. I am definitely looking forward to seeing the long-term effects!

New! Garnier All-in-1 Perfecting Care BB Cream Review



Happy Sunday, everyone!

Today, I want to share with you this exciting new skincare/makeup hybrid product that I recently started using. 

I received Garnier's new All-in-1 Perfecting Care BB Cream in the shade Light/Medium from @topbox and @garniercan for testing purposes and I have to say, I've been loving it!

This product is perfect for my aging and dehydrated skin. It's very hydrating yet lightweight as it's enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera Extracts & Mineral Pigments For a Natural finish. It's easy to apply and blends beautifully. 

I find that my skin looks younger when I use this product, and it gives me a beautiful glow. It has medium coverage and isn't heavy or cakey. It evens out my skin tone, yet I can still see my skin through it, but my skin looks more perfected. It also gives my pale skin some colour, which makes me look healthier and more rested, even if I'm not. It has a thin consistency which spreads out easily, and I only need a small amount, especially since I apply it on top of my moisturizer. I definitely need to powder on top of it, which I would do anyway since I have quite an oily T-zone.



From Garnier:
"This daily All-in-1 Perfecting Care BB Cream gives you the benefits of a makeup foundation and a moisturizing cream. Our new blendable coverage lets skin breathe, leaving a natural finish. A light texture enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera Extracts and Mineral Pigments."

  • Evens skin complexion by 83.6%
  • Corrects the signs of fatigue by 74.5%
  • Gives a luminous complexion by 83.6%
  • 24H intense hydration


I put a little too much on here. Just a tiny amount blends into my skin very nicely

This is one of those products that I like to wear on a day-to-day basis. It's great for no-makeup-makeup days as it gives me much-needed colour and evens out my skin. Even if I'm not doing much, I like to wear this BB Cream because it makes me look better, and when I look better I feel better. I've never been one to wear heavy foundations as I find they can make me look older. Yet, products like Garnier's BB Cream do the complete opposite and make me appear more youthful, and that's something that I am always down for!

This product is suitable for all skin types. I haven't experienced any breakouts or irritation. It's actually quite soothing on my skin. It's currently available in limited shades and seems to vary from country to country. So far, I have found it in the shades light, light/medium, medium, and deep.  Garnier's website has a skin coach tool that can help you find the right products for your skin type using AI. Hopefully, you find one that works for your skin tone.

Garnier's BB Cream is affordably priced at $13USD (currently), and the 50ml bottle should last for quite a while as a little product goes a long way. 




This product was kindly gifted by Topbox and Garnier for testing and marketing purposes.

Best Firming Face and Neck Serum | No 7 Firming Booster Serum


I've been into skincare since I was about 16 years old when my friends and I would go to Shoppers Drug Mart and purchase Loreal's Eye Cream. Even though I thought I had been pretty diligent about my skincare over the years, I must not have paid enough attention to my neck area, which is really the area that needs the most care as the skin is thinner and will most likely show the signs of aging the most as we age. Once the signs of aging show in the neck, it can be very difficult to treat without medical intervention. 

Now that I'm in my fifties, it seems like the signs of aging showed up on my neck overnight! This, on top of the fact that my oval face shape shows signs of aging in the form of sagging, has led me down the rabbit hole of trying every firming/ neck product that I came across, so I have tried many! 

Out of all of the firming/ neck products I have tried, I finally found the one that works best for me. It's No7 laboratories Firming Booster Serum.


From No 7:

Introducing the Non-Invasive Firming Solution: No7 Firming Booster Serum, designed to intensively target those areas that are prone to sagging to deliver fast, visible results. This non-invasive firming solution leaves skin feeling firmer with a hydrating blend of Hyaluronic Acid and Hibiscus Peptides.
  • Clinically proven to lift, tone & tighten skin in 1 week.
  • Look up to 5 years younger in 12 weeks.*
  • Formulated with a highly concentrated amount of Matrixyl 3000+, No7’s powerful anti-wrinkle peptide technology from our clinically proven serums.
  • Formulated with 4x the firming complex in our other clinically proven serums.
  • With Hibiscus Seed Extract to help restore collagen levels and Hyaluronic Acid to plump skin at the surface level and deep within.
*Based on a correlation of expert grading of firmness and/or lift to age.

No7 Laboratories Firming Booster Serum is our most concentrated firming serum and is formulated to be applied directly to the skin in areas that are most prone to loss of firmness, such as the neck and jawline.



The serum comes in a squeeze tube and has 5 small metal rollerballs around the opening where the product dispenses. You only need a peppercorn size of product for each area; one for each side of the mouth going up to the brow, and one for the neck and jaw area. I do use the roller balls to apply the serum to each side of my face but I normally just use my fingers to massage the product upward on my neck area. 

After using this product along with all of my other skincare, I saw a noticeable difference after about a week. This is one of those products that really does what it claims and I am so happy! I barely even remember what my neck looked like before I started using this serum. I did stop using it to try out another neck/ firming cream and my neck went back to how it looked before I started this serum, so I was pretty happy to go back to No7 Booster Serum! The sagging has improved so much, my skin in firmer and the small little sagging ball of wrinkles that were forming in the center of my neck are all but gone! I was seriously considering surgery. Not to say I'll never have surgery, but for now, I'm good! There is also some firming around my jawline but the most noticeable difference is to my neck area. 

This serum addressed what bothered me the most (the sagging ball of wrinkles in the center of my neck). I think the other issue that bothers me, like some excess fat in my neck area, would best be addressed with improvements to my diet and more exercise.

Keep twist top in "off" position when not in use.

The tube has a twist top that keeps the product fresh. Just twist to the ON position to dispense the serum. Then using the rollerball head, apply to each area of the face with upward motions. As per the directions, I apply from my jaw upward to my brow on each side of my face, and then apply to my neck. Follow up with any other skincare products you choose. 

Twist to "on" position to squeeze out product

Dispense a peppercorn size amount of product for each area

The serum is thin and blends into the skin beautifully. It leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated without any greasy residue. I notice a very slight fragrance but nothing bothersome. 

Because this is a booster serum, it can layered with many other skincare products. In fact, I've yet to find something that it cannot be layered with. I always start my skincare with this booster serum first and then apply my other products. It would probably work well with No7's other products as well. I actually discovered this Booster Serum when I was looking into repurchasing No7's Restore and Renew Face and Neck Serum. I had so many other products to finish up that I decided to give the Booster Serum a try as it sounded so good and could be used with my other serums that I needed to finish up. 

I'm so glad that I decided to give No7 Booster Serum a chance. So many products don't live up to their claims but this serum really does! The price is very reasonable and the product lasts for a long time. I'm actually just starting my second tube and I don't think I'll ever stop using it!

Hopefully, my neck will never give away my age now!

I love that it's formulated to be used on the eye area as well. That's one less product to buy if you decide that you don't need or want a separate eye product. 

My skin is left soft, plump, and hydrated all day. Lines are less apparent and my pores are diminished. My skin becomes clearer and smoother over time. I've really noticed a difference since I added this beauty into my daily skincare routine. It can be used both AM and PM, and can be used alone or layered with your other skincare products.

Keys Soulcare Truly Becoming Multi-Benefit Peptide Serum Review


Keys Soulcare Truly Becoming Multi-Benefit Peptide Serum landed on my desk recently and I was so excited as I had heard about this new brand, Keys Soulcare, that was created by Alicia Keys. Plus, I have a thing for all things skincare, peptides, and multi-benefit products! I was already impressed when I read that Alicia and her team work with board-certified dermatologists to create clean, safe, and effective products that are cruelty-free and free of harmful chemicals.

The formula targets dryness, lines, wrinkles, and dullness while helping improve overall tone and texture. 

I've really been enjoying using this serum for the last few weeks and I'm very happy with my results so far. I have been using it AM and PM and my aging skin is definitely looking plumper and more hydrated. What really took me by surprise is that my rough and bumpy forehead has become as smooth as a baby's bottom. 

I only need 2 pumps to cover my face and neck. I apply it to damp skin before my other skincare products and moisturizers. The lightweight,  fragrance-free formula immediately hydrates and soothes my skin.  It absorbs quickly and isn't greasy or sticky at all. My skin is left feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.

No7 Restore & Renew Face & Neck Multi Action Serum Review


With so many anti-aging products on the market these days, it's impossible to try them all. Sure I'd love to, especially the older I get, but it's not realistic. However, I do try to test out as many anti-aging products as I can to find the right products for me.

Over the years, I've heard so much about No7 Restore & Renew Face & Neck Multi Action Serum and I was always curious about it, but I was pretty skeptical so I didn't bother trying it out until recently when I received a gift set containing the serum as well as the matching day and night creams. I almost gave them away because I was so skeptical and also because I've used much more expensive products that didn't help much with the loose skin that has been forming on my neck area thanks to the aging process. Eventually, I decided to try them out as my curiosity got the best of me and I'm so glad that I did!

I have been using the serum on my face and neck in the morning and the nighttime after cleansing and then applying either one of the matching No7 moisturizers or another moisturizer in my arsenal. The serum isn't all that moisturizing by itself but that's what my moisturizer is for and if I'm extra dry, I'll apply a face oil to seal everything in at bedtime. 

After putting the No7 serum to the test for weeks, there is a remarkable difference in the skin on my neck. The loose skin that seemed to suddenly appear one day, is now gone! I'm talking about that loose skin that some like to refer to as "turkey skin" or "turkey neck" that we seem to inevitably get as we age. It seemed to show up one day out of nowhere for me and I was kind of freaking out! Well, I'm no longer freaking out thanks to No7 Restore & Renew Face and Neck Multi Action Serum. I'm not saying that my neck looks like I'm 20 again, but the worst signs of aging on my neck (loose skin) has all but disappeared.



About:
  • Formulated with powerful age-defying ingredients that penetrate your skin’s surface 10 layers deep, targeting the look of damage you can’t see and visible signs you can.Age-defying collagen peptides penetrate skin's surface layers to reveal younger-looking skin
  • Fortifying Complex: a blend of Calcium, Amino Acids and Ceramides
  • Firming Complex: a hydrating blend of Hibiscus peptides and Hyaluronic Acid
  • Pro-Retinol: supports skin’s renewal process to help reduce the appearance of visible signs of aging
  • Formulated for mature skin
  • Suitable for sensitive skin
  • Winner of the Good Housekeeping Seal


I am so glad that I decided to give this serum a try! These No7 products have worked like magic on the loose skin on my neck, I still can't believe it! I've used the serum with moisturizers from other brands as well, so it seems to work magic by itself, meaning you don't necessarily have to use it along with the matching AM + PM moisturizers if you don't want to but you may have quicker or better results by using the entire range. I did use the serum along with the matching AM and PM moisturizers for the first few weeks, then I decided to keep up the serum and try it with some of my other moisturizers as I have so many to use up, and I have found that I am still benefiting by just using the serum from this line.

The loose skin on my 53-year-old neck tightened up so much in such a short amount of time (weeks!). No other products have given me the results that this serum has when it comes to dealing with the very thin, aging, and delicate skin on my neck. Apparently, No7 Beauty knows a thing or two when it comes to anti-aging skincare. Note that I have aging, dehydrated/combo skin that can be reactive and I haven't experienced any sensitivities with these No7 products.

If you are also experiencing loose skin on your neck or face and you don't want to live with it, definitely give this serum and the moisturizers a try. They're affordable and they really live up to the claims.

Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil With Retinol Review



I received a sample of Sunday Riley's Luna Sleeping Night Oil and have been using it every night for over 3 weeks now. My experience with it has been great and it definitely deserves some accolades.

About Sunday Riley's Luna Sleeping Night Oil:

What it is: A next-generation retinol oil that helps skin look and feel plumper while improving the appearance of wrinkles, redness, and pores.

Highlighted Ingredients:
- Retinol: Helps fight the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, support natural skin elasticity, and exfoliates for smoother-looking skin.
- Blue Tansy and German Chamomile: Soothe skin.
- Chia Seed Oil: Minimizes the appearance of fine lines.

"This oil works throughout the night to deliver visibly luminous, even-toned skin by morning. It is formulated with blue tansy and German chamomile which help soothe the appearance of surface redness for a calm, even-toned complexion."



The product goes on blue but becomes clear once massaged into the skin. I like to apply it to slightly damp skin vs dry because I can use less product that way (3 drops vs. 5 on dry). I would suggest following the directions and applying to dry skin if your skin is sensitive. 

I find the product very soothing and hydrating on my skin. I also love that this product saves me a step by serving like 2 products in one for me 1. a Retinol 2. an oil. It saves me from having to use a separate oil at night. I also like to use my gua sha at night and it works perfectly with this sleeping night oil as the oil helps the gua sha glide across my skin. I use the oil on both my face and my neck and follow up with a night cream.

What I notice so far with my skin is that it has become extremely soft, it looks more even toned, and wrinkles are definitely smoothed- especially my nose to mouth lines. I feel an improvement in the texture/ small bumps seem to be reducing. And, best of all for me, is when I wake up in the morning I look refreshed and well rested, even if I had a horrible sleep. I haven't experienced this so much with other products and I'm loving that about it!

I haven’t experiences any sensitivity to the product. My skin can be reactive and I haven't had any breakouts whatsoever. I think it's a great retinol product, even for sensitive skin types. 

If you are looking for an effective retinol that is also gentle and also contain other wonderful anti aging ingredients, I definitely recommend giving this one a try!

Weekly Favourite | Beautè Pacifique Instant Hydrating Mask


Today, I'm sharing my latest beauty obsession! @beautepacifique.canada 's Instant Hydrating Mask is keeping my chronically dehydrated skin nice and hydrated! 💦

It can be used as a mask or left on overnight. I always leave it on overnight because the more Hydration the better! I love it so much that I often use it during the daytime too. It seals in all the goodness of my other skincare products, it's super hydrating without being greasy and it doesn't make me breakout (most leave-on masks do for me). My skin looks and feels amazing- so youthful and plump! 😍 The ingredients are stellar and I'm transported to a high-end holistic spa every time I use their products!

About this item

  • Instant Hydrating Mask. Recovers lost moisture balance. Pampers dull and dry skin. Contains moisture retaining ingredients that withhold added moisture in the skin and form a water retaining barrier in the skin’s surface layer.
  • Apply to face and neck after cleansing 2-3 times a week. Apply liberally and leave the mask to work for 5-10 minutes.
  • Rinse with water. Follow with toner and your preferred moisturiser. Apply the anti-age product first - allow it to penetrate deeply and then apply the moisturiser.
  • The Instant Hydrating Mask can also be used as leave-on night cream to lock in moisture and maintain constant optimal hydration.

I'm also enjoying their Anti-age day cream as well as their Vitamin A eye cream which is actually helping with my hereditary under eye luggage.


The eye cream comes with this little spatula but I'm finding I can use less product by using my finger. If you don't like touching the product from the jar then the spatula is a nice touch.

Hydrating Mask 

I'm using the Hydrating Mask daily, sometimes twice a day and I've barely put a dent in it. The 100ml tube is going to last for a long time so the value is great at $55 per tube, especially considering the ingredients and results. 

The quality of their products are amazing! You can tell the minute you apply them and smell all of the botanical goodness! 🍃 They are made in Denmark and have been formulating skincare products for 25 years! All of the research that goes into their products really shows!

VICHY LIFTACTIV COLLAGEN SPECIALIST PEPTIDE-C SPF 30 REVIEW


On March 24th Vichy launched their new Liftactiv Specialist Peptide-C SPF 30 moisturizer. - 50ML/ SRP $61.95CAD.

This powerful, multitasking product has broad spectrum UVA + UVB protection to prevent & counteract signs of premature aging, plus Biopeptides from pea extract, vitamin Cg, hyaluronic acid, and Glycolic acid which gives the skin a brighter and firmer appearance.

I always step up my skincare with a good SPF at this time of year. I'm loving this new one by Vichy because it's not greasy or sticky, it absorbs well and doesn't leave a white cast. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and layers well with my other skincare products. I also like to add a drop of my foundation to it some days for a DIY tinted sunscreen.


Love the air-tight pump!

A lot of sunscreens make my reactive skin breakout, this one does not! This is a 5 star product in my books!

Loreal Revitalift Triple Power LZR 1.5 Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum Review


New year, new skin! 💫 💆‍♀️ 

Hyaluronic acid has become a staple in my skincare routine. It really helps to lock in the moisture, prevent dehydration, and plumps the skin for a more youthful appearance. 

Thanks to Topbox and L'oreal, I received a generous sized sample of Loreal's Hyaluronic acid which is great for all skin types.  My skin just drinks it up and loves it! It keeps my skin hydrated and plump, and layers well with all my other skincare! It absorbs nicely and doesn't leave any sticky residue. Thankfully, it's also fragrance-free and paraben-free.

After using it for 2 weeks I barely made a dent as it only takes a few drops to cover my face and neck. 💧 

💌 TIP: Always apply Hyaluronic acids to damp skin 

💧 Other tips to prevent dehydration are to use a humidifier and drink a lot of caffeine-free fluids throughout the day.

☆ Product: L'oreal Revitalift Triple Power LZR 1.5% Hyaluronic acid serum  1oz $17.96 (currently on sale!) 

☆ Fragrance free
☆ No parabens
☆ No mineral oils
☆ Suitable for sensitive skin
☆ Plumps,  hydrates, reduces wrinkles 

I also LOVE Loreal's 10% Glycolic acid which is great for smoothing out rough, uneven skin as it's a wonderful exfoliator. The Hyaluronic acid serum along with the Glycolic acid serum are must haves and great staples for an anti aging skincare regime!

Happy Sunday!

Quick and Easy Daily Quarantine Makeup Routine | Beauty Over 50


Sharing my current daily quarantine makeup routine! 💕

Since quarantine, my makeup routine has become even more low-key and streamlined and I'm loving it!




Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer is the first step in my quick and easy makeup routine. It's great for blemishes, dark spots, under eyes 👀. It takes very little product and I make sure to use it sparingly under my eyes as it can get cakey looking on my aging skin. I've also had the shade Brightener in this concealer and I only used that shade under my eyes because it has a pink-y tone to it. I do prefer the Brightener shade for the under eyes as it cancels out dark tones and seems to have a thinner consistency so I found it to be less cakey for the eye area.  I also prefer LA Girl Pro Conceal HD for my under eyes because it's more hydrating but I'm currently out of it.


The second step in my routine is to apply Doll 10 Colour Correcting Powder all over. It has light coverage and evens my skin tone out. It's a more sheer powder so it doesn't look cakey.




I use this palette for a one-and-done look with a matte mid-tone shade in the crease. It's been my favourite everyday palette for quite some time and is fabulous for aging eyes!




I use this single blush as my blush, bronzer, and highlight. It's VERY light, perfect for a no-makeup-makeup look. At first, I didn't even think it would show up on my skin tone but it does without any other blush or bronzer applied. It is also buildable and pretty much goof-proof because it's so light. Because it's so light, it works best in this way for lighter skin tones but would probably make a great highlight for deeper skin tones as it has a beautiful subtle sheen to it.




I love this clear mascara to tame my brows. It holds them in place and makes them look nicely groomed without any crunchiness or flaking. Once this is finished, I will probably try out Covergirl's clear brow gel/ mascara as they are now cruelty-free.


This is a great mascara if you like big lashes! Even if I was to wear no makeup at all, I always like to have big lashes, even a bit clumpy, it really helps to frame the eyes and make them look open and awake. The wand on this is a bit big for my hooded eyes so I usually end up having to clean up a spot or two from my lids, but this is nothing new for me when it comes to mascaras. This was a sample so once it's gone I will most likely go back to Essence Lash Princess, it gives me the same look for much less.



 Step 7 -Nars Lip Balm in Laguna (free Sephora birthday gift) 

I have a full review of this product along with the matching bronzer linked here. This lip balm is hydrating with just a hint of colour. It's very sheer, so it will look different on everyone depending on your natural lip colour.


This has been my go-to routine for quite a while now for days that I do wear makeup. It seems to be all I need.


Happy Sunday!
