NovAge Ultimate Lift Overnight Lifting & Contouring Cream Review

The NovAge Ultimate Lift Skin Care Set has 5 products consisting of Cleansing Gel, Eye Cream, Concentrate Serum, SPF rich Day Cream and Overnight Lifting & Contouring Cream. 

This post will concentrate mainly on the Overnight Lifting & Contouring Cream.

If loss of firmness and sagginf of skin are ageing your face, it's time to bounce back with the NovAge Ultimate Lift Overnight Lifting & Contouring Cream which is Oriflame's advanced-performing product to restore firmness and elasticity for a lifted look with a delightfully youthful bounce.

Powered by patented AspartoLift Technology and Buddleja Plant Stem Cell extract, NovAge Ultimate Lift boosts elastin synthesis and helps to protect the integrity of the skin's extracellular matrix, enhancing the skin's elasticity to help lift, firm and redefine facial contours, as well as smoothing out wrinkles.

Extra-nourishing and replenishing night cream powered by Aspartolift and plant stem cell extract. It restores hydration, firmness and elasticity while you sleep for a lifted appearance over time with more defined contours and less visible wrinkles. Delicately fragranced.

Being one of the thicker products in your skincare routine usually, your night cream provide the final layer of active ingredients together with moisturisation. While the day cream is designed to help protect your skin from daytime aggressors; the night cream is designed to restore, replenish and lock in moisture while you sleep.

NovAge Ultimate Lift Overnight Lifting & Contouring Cream is a mildly fragranced cream that is light in texture. You need to apply just 5 pea-sized dots of cream on your forehead, each cheek, your nose and chin. Use your fingertips to lightly massage the cream evenly all over your face avoiding the eye area until it is fully absorbed. The whipped texture feels like a dream and makes it so easy to spread and sink into skin effortlessly. 

While you sleep with the cream on, it nourishes the skin and addresses signs of fatigue with continued use. Even the most efficacious night creams are not going to transform your skin in one night. It would take weeks or even months to show results for the skin concerns like uneven skin tone, fine lines, or wrinkles,. So patiently feed your skin regularly with a good night cream.

Speaking about it's packaging, I like the elegantly rich glass jar in a pretty purple-gold color. The jar is packed in a outer cardboard box with same color theme. The price, quantity, ingredient list and shelf life etc are all printed on it.

NovAge Ultimate Lift Overnight Lifting & Contouring Cream is not a budget purchase (Rs. 2250 for 50ml) for sure, but if you're looking for a product that will genuinely make you look forward to your night time routine, this is one of those products.  

Herboveda Skin Lift Anti-Wrinkle Day & Night Creams Review

Today I'm introducing Herboveda Care, an initiative towards combining the benefits of naturally obtained herbal ingredients and the age old magical beauty secrets to transform the entire idea of beauty and beauty care. Living in the present times of stressful life styles, hectic work days and this super polluted environment, Herbovedacare aspires to provide your skin a relief from the pollutants and the intense sun. With the soothing herbs and natural oils from pure plant extracts, Herbovedacare promises the best of care for your skin.

From the herbal product range that the brand has to offer, I'm reviewing a combo of Anti-Wrinkle Day and Night Creams meant for Skin Lift.

Packaging: 

Both the day and night cream come in elegant white tubs. The packaging is sturdy enough and has got the key ingredient printed on the top screw lid. This light-weight packaging is easy to carry around. The ingredient list, usage instructions, price, quantity etc is labelled on the pack as well. 

Day Creme With Pomegrenate And Rose Hip Oil

This cream completely replenishes your skin. It deeply moisturizes and prevents ageing. The active ingredients work naturally and activate the cells. Thus, the premature ageing of your skin is prevented. It's a perfect day cream.

Looking at the pomegranate infused cream at the first sight, it reminded me of using pomegranate peel powder in my younger days when such good products for skin care were not accessible to everyone :)
The texture of Herboveda Day Cream is light, thin and smooth. The moment you massage it on the skin, it is absorbed as if it was there ever. But the skin gets a boost of hydration instantly that feels really good to touch without oilyness. The beauties who are battling with dryness of skin will definitely love the plumped skin what they crave for.

Pomegranates in the cream help delay the signs of aging being rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants. Another active ingredient i.e. Rosehip Oil is loaded with anti-inflammatory fatty acids to repair damaged skin. Rosehip Oil also helps to tighten your pores due to astringent properties. The rosehop oil renders light fragrance to the cream that is pleasant to smell and won't be irritating anyone. Just ensure to give your skin the suppleness of this cream whenever you cleanse your face and neck area (I do it twice a day). I'm liking using this cream for it's hydration but would have loved it if were SPF rich too for everyday protection of skin from any and all sun damage.

Night Creme With Veg Squalene & Grapeseed
The anti wrinkle night cream vitalizes, regenerates & improves the elasticity of the skin and aids your skin to fight against free radicals & ageing process. It also boost skin cell renewal system while smoothening up fine lines & wrinkles.

The Herboveda Night Cream is similar to its day cream in color and texture, but it has lighter fragrance. This cream infused with grape seed oil and veg squalene tends to sink in the skin very easily. It's a non-irritating formula that would be suited to people with sensitive skin type as well. Squalene is effective to reduce redness, stinging of skin due to it's anti-bacterial properties. Grape seed oil is packed with Polyphenols that are anti-inflammatory antioxidants and hold up the aging process. 

Even the beauties who are skeptical to pick a night cream for themselves dreading acne breakout may try this formula and may nourish their skin. I personally like creams that are light to the touch, quick to absorb and don't leave skin feeling heavy or greasy. Herboveda Night Cream ticks all these pros for me. I would especially like to mention here that grape seed oil is well-known for skin balancing so even if you have oily skin, you're in for this treat for your skin to treat oily patches too.

Daily use of both these creams will help your skin regain elasticity and be firm-looking by fighting signs of aging and dull wrinkled skin.
For a price of INR 325 each, the 50gm pack with a shelf life of 36 months is a must-buy.

Many people neglect skin's needs and aren't aware of the right products that supply required skin nutrients. Oriflame AgeRevive Day Cream is meant for offering skin hydration while fighting early signs of ageing. It is a specifically formulated natural moisturizer to nourish all skin types. The active ingredients used in the formulation are high quality, unadulterated botanicals as opposed to synthetic ones that cause damage to your skin. I apply small amount of the cream in the morning after cleansing my face and allow it to absorb into the skin. This white coloured cream is non-greasy, smooth and mildly scented, however I need to massage it gently for complete absorption. The best part of using this cream is to cut down your use of another product separately i.e. sunscreen because it's complimented with SPF 15 to prevent sun damage to your skin. The cream keeps the skin firm and energised. The light consistency makes it appropriate to settle easily under makeup.

AgeRevive Night Cream is meant for working on skin repair, regeneration and restoring skin’s energy while we sleep. This cream is similar in colour and consistency as the day cream, but it's gets absorbed like a dream on my skin. The non-greasy, light-weight and mildly scented formula is so good to provide added moisturization by penetrating deep into the skin through the long hours of night while working for anti-ageing benefits. Using a good quality night cream boosts collagen in your skin and helps in better blood circulation. The wrinkles and other fine lines on your face get reduced over time. I truly love the suppleness of my skin as I get up in the morning. Continuous use of a night cream improves skin elasticity and avoids skin sagging. Last, but not the least, none of the creams caused me any skin irritation, nausea or inflammation. 

The bottom line is that I'm absolutely recommending everyone to follow the regimen to pick and use right products that could delay ageing effectively and make your skin breathe. 

Fuschia's Arabian Jasmine Anti Ageing Night Cream Review

Hi Friends,

Remember I have been using some beautifully crafted skin / body care products from Fuschia and also gave my opinion on the same in some previous posts. As the year 2015 began, Fuschia surprised me with some thoughtful gifts with a lovely message. I had been reading about their planning to launch a new range of products, but didn't expect that I will be lucky enough to receive them before anyone else could order it ;) Lol. Fuschia launched five brand new products namely Exfoliating Body and Face Scrub, Day Cream with SPF15, Arabian Jasmine Anti-aging Night Cream, Strawberry Passion Lip Balm and Cherry Caramel Lip Balm. 

So here I reveal what I received in my pack from Fuschia ..

Out of these two products, I am reviewing the Arabian Jasmine Anti Ageing Cream today. 
Why to use a night cream?
Many of my friends think that if they are already using an effective day cream or moisturizing lotion onto their skin,  why do they need to apply a separate night cream? Frankly speaking, I also had the similar thinking long ago. But now I'm aware of the reality that a night cream applied before bed time is something that our skin needs to increase the skin renewal rate during our beauty sleep.

The Fuschia Arabian Jasmine night cream comes in a transparent plastic tub with screw cap. The cap bears a sticker mentioning the product name and quantity on it. The product is accompanied with lil descriptive cards that elaborates what all has gone into making this cream.

Like all the products manufactured under the Fuschia's brand name are handmade and use natural ingredients. This night cream is also filled with the decency of 100% vegetarian

constituents like Jasmine Oil, Olive Oil, Kokum Butter, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, Sweet Almond Oil and  BioStine HP.

Pricing & Qty:

The pack of 50 gms is priced at Rs 675/- which is suggested to be used safely within 30 months from the date of manufacturing.

My Experience

The moment I opened the cream pack, a stronger rejuvenated fragrance entered my nostrils that took me down the memory lane to my childhood days when I used to feel refreshing by the smell of white Jasmine flowers. It won't be a hype, if I call Jasmine as my most favourite flower and the jasmine fragrance as my favourite floral smell. So I was excited to try the Arabian Jasmine night cream that very moment :)

The cream is in pearly off-white color and is somewhat as light as of the consistency of whipped cream. Though I was damn sure that this night cream is safe to apply directly on face, still I did a patch test on my wrist to check for any irritation etc. Thank God! it didn't cause me any type of itching or discomfort on skin.

 As per the instructions to use the cream, I cleaned my face with a mild cleanser first of all and then applied the required quantity on my face and neck area. I needed to rub the cream gently for a while to allow its proper penetration into skin. The fragrance of Jasmine Oil worked wondrous for me as it with its calming effect while sleeping. 

The product claims to flush out the toxins accumulated in skin through out the day and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. I cannot exactly comment on the effectiveness of the cream on wrinkles bcz I have no wrinkles on my face as yet, but after a continuous use of almost two weeks I have experienced that it reverse dryness from my overly dry skin with its intensive moisture that lasts all night on my skin and improves overall skin texture. A few pleasing compliments n remarks from colleagues have confirmed the visible result on my face as the skin looks firmer & sufficiently rested.
