Hi friends, it's Lauren.
I don't know about you, but I love Pinterest.
My mom got me started on Pinterest a little while back
when my daughter got married.
She was sending me these, all these ideas for the wedding.
And I just started into it.
It was like, duh, duh, duh, a big rabbit hole
because there's so many great ideas.
But some of them seem a little suspicious to me.
So one I found the other night was a five minute facelift.
Like who that is my age wouldn't like their face lifted?
I'm almost 55 in five minutes.
So I had to check it out.
What it is, it's a mask.
And it was a little bit of a click bait again
because you have to leave it on 30 minutes.
But I want to go ahead and try it.
It's with stuff I already had in my kitchen.
So I'm not losing any money on this one.
And it's one egg white, two spoonfuls of lemon
and a few drops of honey.
Now the egg white is what's supposed to do all this lifting.
The lemon is for dark spots, acne, excess oil.
And the honey is for moisturizing your skin.
Now I'm going to put these things into the dish.
I have to whisk it up and then we'll put it on.
So here's my egg white.
I'm going to go ahead and just squeeze this whole lemon here.
It's about two spoonfuls, oh man, this is rough.
And then I'm going to put a little bit of honey here.
Oh, I'm no Martha Stewart here.
All right, so I'm going to put a couple of drops in there.
I don't want it to be too sticky
because I put honey all over my face,
which actually feels really good.
But we're going for tightening, not just moisturizing.
So they said whisk it up.
I think it would be good even to put this
in the food processor or blender and really get it frothy.
But I'm doing the best I can.
I wanted to just use a fork.
All right, that's pretty mixed up.
And now I have a little, I'm going to put my hair back first
and I have a little brush that I got from EcoTools
that I'll go ahead and put all this over here.
And I got this from EcoTools over at Marshall's.
And I'm going to just start painting my face.
Now I do have some eye makeup on
and some lipstick.
I bought this Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk.
I gave myself a Valentine's Day present.
I told my husband, don't straighten yourself.
I got this covered and I ordered the lipstick and I love it.
Oh, it's fantastic.
Now this feels nice.
Yes, it feels nice.
Yeah, I feel like a windmill here painting my face.
Oh, I love it.
It actually feels really nice.
I don't smell egg at all
because of course it's only the whites of the egg.
I just smell lemon.
The lemon smells nice with the honey.
Honey, yes, honey.
I feel like I have way too much here in this bowl.
This seems like enough to do this a few times.
So I'm not going to put the whole amount.
Maybe as it dries, I'll put a little bit more on.
Let's wait a second and see.
Maybe I'll just go ahead and do my neck too.
I'd like a tight neck also.
So I'm going to just put it right on my neck
and we'll wait here.
I've got to wait 30 minutes.
Oh my gosh.
And we'll see how it feels.
I'm wondering if it's like these masks
where it will get tight.
I'm going to go ahead and put it up around my,
under my eyes.
I think I have it covered.
What do you think?
I think I've got some in my hair too.
I'm going to wash my hair in a little bit anyway.
Okay, so I think I'm going to stop there.
This seemed to have it covered.
It feels really nice.
I feel actually pretty relaxed.
So I think I'm just going to sit back
and chill for a while.
I decided to go ahead and paint my hands with this.
I hate for it to go to waste.
I have a little age spot here on my hand
and I thought, why not?
I'll just go ahead and put this on the tops of my hands.
It's all stuff that would be good for firming your hand
and hands and getting rid of any dark spots.
So why not?
I'm sitting here anyway.
I might as well make use of it.
I'm doing my chest.
I mean, I am just one of those people.
My parents taught me not to waste anything.
Yeah, I got a little bit of sun today.
I went for a walk on the beach.
Would you believe in Northeast Florida
we had 80 degree weather today?
Oh my gosh.
You know, the mask, be careful,
it almost leaked into my mouth.
Can you imagine them saying,
a woman dies from salmonella poisoning
from a face mask from Pinterest?
Oh boy, that would be a lawsuit.
There we go.
Oh, it feels so nice.
I really like this.
I like this little brush too.
That was such a deal over at Marshall's.
You know what?
I'm gonna put a little more on my face
because it's drying up.
I feel it getting very tight.
I'm wondering how it's gonna do,
what it will do for my pores.
I have large pores in this part of my face.
I've told you all I had terrible acne till I was 40.
So when people give me a compliment now about my skin,
I can't even believe it.
I can't process that
because I had acne for so many years,
but this feels nice.
I'm gonna start doing this.
They say it's another thing that was sort of a scam
was that they said it lifts your face
and they said after that, if you do it all the time.
So that's another point.
This is supposed to help you,
but you need to be consistent with it.
It's something you're gonna have to do
maybe a couple, two or three times a week,
but it's really not expensive.
You're just using an egg, a lemon, and some honey.
So that's a lot cheaper than these masks
that they even sell at Marshall's.
I can't believe that I'm on the internet
covered in honey, lemon, and egg whites,
the things I go through for my channel
and the name of beauty.
I do have to tell you one quick funny story
before I wash all this off.
I went in CVS to get a couple of things for my channel
and I'm in the line
and there are these two older gentlemen ahead of me
and no one's around.
And I knew the ladies were in the back
because I saw them stocking shelves,
but they had no one up front.
So the guy at the front of the line says,
I wish there was a bell I could ring.
And the other guy nods his head
and we're staying there, it's real quiet.
And so I go, ring, ring, ring, ring like this
and these ladies come running.
And the guys looked at me and they just broke out laughing.
And I said to them, hey, I got tricks.
That's what all I can say, I got tricks.
Oh dear God, my hands look worse.
I'm getting older by the minute.
This is not lifting, this is aging me by the minute.
Pretty soon I'm gonna be like 110.
I swear these look like when my grandmother was 90.
This is what her hands would look like.
Oh my God, I guess the stuff is just drawing everything up.
Holy smokes, this is scary stuff.
I think this has only been like 15 minutes.
Man, I'm afraid what it's doing to me.
Hopefully when the egg white gets,
if you try this, it's alarming when you look at your hands.
These do not look like my hands anymore.
Oh dear God, I gotta get this off soon.
Oh my God, my daughter has confirmed
my hands look shriveled like raisins.
Oh my God, like right around the knuckles,
they're like, what's this?
It just sucked them up.
There are wrinkles here I never knew I had.
So I don't know about this and I'm starting to itch.
Oh no, oh, I might have to wash this off.
I don't know that I can go the full 30 minutes
because the face, okay,
but my hands are really are like itching me.
They're bothering me.
And so I might need to take this off early.
My fingers are sticking together, they're itchy.
My face feels like it's got tons of flakes on it.
That's how my face feels.
When I touch it, the egg white is like breaking apart.
So it feels, oh geez,
feels like I'm gonna just like,
hunks of skin are gonna peel off my face.
That's what it feels like.
Yeah, it feels, the egg white's so thin
that it feels like your skin.
So my skin feels like it's just gonna like,
hunks are gonna peel off, but I know it's not that,
it's the egg white, but oh boy.
I washed everything off and I'm back
and the results, I did not get a facelift.
Now my skin on the positive side
feels really silky smooth right now
and so does my neck and chest.
So I like that aspect of it,
but I feel like my skin got very irritated from it.
You can see how red I am.
And so as far as that goes, that didn't really work for me.
My hands look really nice now
that I washed the egg white off.
That's what was making, drawing it up, I guess,
and making them look very wrinkly.
But they look fine now
and they actually look a little brighter to me.
So maybe this is a mask.
I think what I'll do is try putting this
on my hands several times
and see if there's any improvement with my hands
because my hands do look a little brighter to me.
The face, I don't think I wanna put this on my face again
because I just see that I look way too irritated.
I still love Pinterest.
You have to take some of these things
with a grain of salt, obviously.
Some lemon and egg white and honey
is not gonna lift your skin like what a surgeon can do.
But it did make my skin feel really soft
and my hands do look a little brighter.
Now for the winner of the bee cream.

Mary, congratulations.
And I have another bee cream to give away.

Thanks so much for watching.
And tell me in the comments,
would you really want a real facelift?
Is that something you're considering
