Do You Remember This?

SeaMaiden — Sun, 03 Sep 2017 17:56:14 GMT

Lauren Hutton's AquaPress? I came across the set of four sponges new still wrapped in a box I had put away for about 12 years or so. She use to sell her line on HSN years ago. I really loved her makeup pallet she sold. I love Lauren anyway. She is beautiful with no lifts or shots. Her skin took a toll with her love of Safari's in Africa. She is all about saving the animals. She is about 73 years young.

I used the sponge yesterday. It is suppose to "push" water into your skin to plump it up. Guess I will start using it again. I do not think it is still sold anymore. Here is a picture of the set including the sponge

@SeaMaiden I don't remember that product specifically but I do remember when Ms Hutton was on HSN. I have seen two of the three pix that you posted. I may be in the minority here but I still see her as a beautiful woman. Her face tells a story and its imperfections reflect some of the good that she has done with her life. To me - that is real beauty!

She's always been an attractive woman. At 73, she has earned those wrinkles. This is what a woman "of a certain age" should look like. Those drawn-and-quartered face lifts are quite scary.

lauren s a smoker still and that may contribute to her skin wrinkling so.

I remember her very well, especially when she did the shaving cream commercials....."Take it off, take it all off." Alll the men thought she was sexy.

@SeaMaiden I remember her whole line on HSN. The make up was nice and wasn't that horrid orange that so many lines are. I never ordered the Aqua Press. Was it still moist after all these years?

It is refreshing to see someone that has embraced natural aging.

That wasn't Lauren Hutton, that was Gunilla Knutson, and she was very alluring. It was a great ad.

@SeaMaiden, I love these pictures. It shows a strong woman that is growing old gracefully. She is beautiful.

I remember Lauren being very big on hydrating the skin by forcing water into it. I still have her makeup disc and some of her other products. I'd never heard of making up your hairline to disguise the thinning hair there, but it was something she did.

What I like about her face in the later photos is that she hasn't applied a gaudy slash of bright lipstick, the way so many older women do. It looks dreadful, IMO. There was a thread on Allure's publicity stunt about dropping "anti-aging" as a descriptor, but it was announced along with a photo with Helen Mirren in maquillage hommage to The Joker, which didn't exactly sell the policy change.

Yes, I remember, I bought and used it. Ech.

Hutton is a natural beauty, still is.

Any hydration is good for the skin, so in that sense the product worked.

Anybody remember Connie Stevens Forever Young line? (I think that was the name) It vibrated on the face.

Yes, I bought and used that too!

Still using Lite Stim light to reduce wrinkles- my husband and kids laugh at me.

@tends2dogs Yes. I have one large and two smaller of the sponges. They are soft and very cushy. I think they lasted all these years because they were air tight wrapped.

I do remember LH selling cosmetics on HSN, I bought her color wheel compact filled with foundation, blush and eye makeup. It was an ok product. I always liked her as a model and an actress, she has one of those unusual faces that photograph well. I'm glad she never went under the knife, she looks good and most importantly, looks good naturally for her age.IMO things will never change for women if they continue to buy into that youth and beauty illusion.

I remember she sold something on HSN, I didn't remember what. She's a prime example of what happens to sun worshipers. It's a shame because she would be so attractive if she'd taken care of her skin. The "it" girl back when I was in h.s. has leathery wrinkly skin like that and she's not even 60 yet. She's a hostess in a very exclusive restaurant we go to on very special occasions. It's always jarring to see her, I remember when she was the perfect blond cheerleader with long blond hair and peaches and cream skin. But she skiied and boated and played golf all her life and it shows on her face and hands now.

@chrystaltree I wouldn't call skiing, boating, and playing golf sun worshipping. I would say it is enjoying life to the max.

As far as Lauren Hutton being attractive or not, isn't about her skin. The glow of her life radiates from her face. Not a lot of people can claim that, sun worshippers and nonsun worshippers alike.

I was talking about sun damaged skin.... I don't know what you're talking about.

@chrystaltree I am sure she took care of her skin cosmetic wise... but years of safari sun.... and smoking cigaretts took its toll. I am sure if she had quit smoking way back when, and did not get all the intense sun she got over the years, she would look 10 years younger.. smoking and sun make your skin like leather. Still her bone structure and smile are still there and that is what I see when Isee her in pictures. She is comfortable in her own skin. That is what Iwant to be like.

@SeaMaiden I think there is something sexy about a woman that feels good in her own skin no matter how many wrinkles she has. She exudes confidence. She has lived life to the utmost. I want that, too.
