Hi! Can anyone help me? I had something come up for tomorrow evening and I want to look my best! Does anyone know of an instant eye lift cream or anything that I can get at a drugstore? My botox has worn off and I have waited to get more so that I can see what my lightstim and CP's can do.
I know whatever I get will be a temporary quick fix, but I don't care....just don't know what works if anything! |

Perhaps something with DMAE? DMAE temporarily tightens and firms the skin. I've used the Skin Biology Two Timing Tightner, but you have to order that online. I've seen Nutraluxe MD Intensive Face Lift which has DMAE, but I've not used it. I'm sure there are other brands that you could pick up from a store. |

There is the el cheapo drug store Sudden Change they make eye lift and face lift ect. I haven't used them myself but see them with the skin creams all the time, I don't know how well they work with make up ect. But thought I would throw that out as you need something asap. |

I suppose you know this, but tightly pulling back the hair lifts the whole face, and there are so many lovely "updo's" that are popular right now.
I read that Mae West used this method to give the appearance of a facelift. she would put tiny braids all around the outline of her face and pull them back as tightly as she could into a pony tail, then put a wig over top of it. However, I get an instant lift just doing the ponytail and updo. |

A stevia mask gives a nice temporary tightening effect. You might also try egg whites as a mask. |

YES, this is exactly what I was going to recommend. Gives a whole new meaning to 'getting egg on your face' but it sure does the trick! Leave it on for a good 20 minutes and this will lift and tighten everything. Then apply your favourite night cream afterwards.

Is it real safe to use raw egg whites? After the bird flu epidemic, I've been rather anal about touching raw eggs. Same goes for raw meat too.
Well, if it were me, I'd give myself a good exfoliation then hydrate with a moisturising mask and firm with a cold pack. Load on a bit more foundation, get a great haircut (this is the one thing that I find can turn a whole look around) and smile lots! Including the haircut, takes about 2 hours. |

I just want to thank you all so much for all the suggestions! I ended up having to go straight from work and didn't get to perform any temporary miracles BUT...I am so glad to have these in my arsenal for next time!!!! |
