Lise Watier Résist-Âge Day and Night Review and Contest Winner!

Along with the daily challenges that started 28 days ago, I also started using the Lise Watier Résist-Âge  Youth-Extender Day Fluid - 50ml - $52 and Reenergizing Night Creme - 50ml - $58. 

The day fluid contains two special ingredients:  DNA Protector (containing cotton peptides) which acts simultaneously on two fronts - reversing and preventing cellular change.  it promotes the elimination of existing lines by stimulating cell-repair functions and limiting the formation of new lines by strengthening the cellular defense system.  The photoprotective action prevents the appearance of early signs of aging and helps skin preserve its strength and vitality. And Longevicell (extract of myrtle leaves) which spurs skin longevity proteins, boosts cellular metabolism, and prevents rigidification of collagen fibres.  This triple action slows the formation of lines and wrinkles and helps skin preserve its youthful appearance.  The fluid also contains several other hydrating ingredients which work to revive the skin surface.


The night creme also contains the DNA Protector as well as a Phytoamine NRG Complex which is forumlated with extract of Tepescohuite bark - an ingredient reputed for its healing, invigorating, and remineralizing properties - and amino acids, which are known for their capacity to retain water.  This makes the combination supremely successful at night, when the skin's potential receptivity to moisture is at its highest.  It helps skin regain its softness, suppleness, and ideal moisture balance and the results can be seen in the morning.

It all sounds great but what you really want to know is did it really do all that and how wonderful do I look now?  I have to say that I love the night creme and once my skin becomes less dry again, I will love the day fluid!  The day fluid comes in a handy pump bottle, is very light, smells nice and absorbs easily.  For myself it was a bit too light - to fix this I have been adding a little bit of extra moisturizer in my drier areas as well as wearing a moisturizing serum.  What I think I might try is picking up the Résist-Âge Métamulsion Serum and wearing that during the day with a more intense moisturizer.  The night creme also comes in a pump bottle, is thicker, smells good and soaks right in.  I found the texture of this one fine, just enough moisture for me but if you are super dry, keep in mind that both of these products are geared towards those with normal to combo skin so don't be surprised if you don't find them moisturizing enough and need to add something extra.  And FYI, I really did wake up with radiant looking skin, so that night creme is going to be having an extended stay in my bathroom cabinet!

If you are in your 30s, seeing your first signs of aging and want to start a skin care regime to kick agings ass, this is a great one to try!  On to the contest winner:

I have to say, I am really impressed with you guys!  When the Lise Watier Youthful... Day After Day Challenge started 28 days ago I figured that by Day 28, 1 or 2 of you might still be hanging in there, but every single day, so many of you kept coming back to share the fun (and sometimes misery) that the wonderful people (sadists) at Lise Watier had come up with for the day.  So a big thank you to all of you for sharing the trip!  And the winner is....
Adri17 from Quebec

Please contact us at info@beautycrazed.ca within 48 hours and give us your info so we can send your prize to you!

Lise Watier Youthful... Day After Day Challenge - Day 28! Contest!


Day 28 - BE BOLD - Youth is you!
Rediscover a piece of clothing you wore when you were a teenager or borrow one from your 
daughter and wear it!

What are these Lise Watier people smoking?  I was a teenager in the eighties, did they not see the misguided fashions we had then?  Nobody wants to see me wandering around town in lace Madonna gloves, stirrup pants and a torn up Flashdance sweatshirt.

And please make sure you come back tomorrow, for a review of our 28 days together, the creams and of course, the winner!

Day 24 - BE BOLD - Dare to wear red!
Go on, let yourself wear red.  Select a red lipstick and let your lips be the star of the day!

Funny story, I didn't even read today's challenge until I got to work and I had already put on a bright red top and matching lipstick this morning!  Even my boss noticed and commented that I never wear red lipstick...

Day 23 - PHYSICAL HEALTH - Release neck tension!
Keeping your shoulders straight, gently turn your head to the right as far as you can and hold this position for a few seconds.  Repeat the movement to the left.  repeat these movements until the tension in your neck dissipates.
When I saw today was physical health again, I was scared of what those sadists at Lise Watier had dreamed up this time but this one was a pleasant surprise and very effective!  Go ahead, it's safe!

Lise Watier Youthful... Day After Day Challenge - Day 19! Contest!


Day 19 - PHYSICAL HEALTH - Sculpt beautiful shoulders!
Select a small object of a fair weight (e.g. a can of food).  Stand with the object in your hands and raise your arm out in front of you, taking a deep in-breath, until your arms are parallel to the ground.  Repeat the exercise, for 15 minutes.

These Lise Watier exercise people are smoking some good stuff before they come up with these torturous exercises.  15 minutes is insane, I lasted 5 minutes before my hands were so sweaty that I dropped the can on my foot (note to self, wear shoes while performing crazy exercises).  Consider taking a page out of Lady Gaga's book and fake having shoulders with some big ass shoulder pads!

Day 17 - NUTRITION - Tank up with energy!
Add a protein source to your snack of the day (e.g. nuts, cheese, yougurt, etc.).

I looked it up on Google and beer has protein in it so it stands to reason that celebrating St. Patrick's Day with a green beer will more than meet the requirements of this challenge!

Day 11 - PHYSICAL HEALTH - Get those legs up!
While seated in your favourite chair, stretch your legs out in front of you in the air, without support.  Hold this position for as long as you can.  Repeat the exercise for 15 minutes, resting between leg raises.

What kind of crazy sadists work at Lise Watier anyhow?!  Are they aware that this freaking exercise hurts!  I struggled through it by thinking of above pictured cupcake and how when my 15 minutes were up, I was going to bite it's head off!  The pain made it extra delicious!  Two points to consider before undertaking this challenge:  1) rolling chairs don't work so well and 2) if you do it at work, make sure your boss is not around - mine looked at me like I'm a crazy person and didn't seem to understand when I told him I was earning a cupcake...

Day 10 - LIFESTYLE - Good morning!
Greet a stranger with a smile!

This one was obviously thought up by someone who does not live in Toronto - if you smile at strangers here you are either crazy or about to rob them!  I will stick with the Toronto equivalent to a smile - the polite head nod!
